Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhao Liangchen's words irritated Zhao Kuo. He said with bloodshot eyes, "You're talking nonsense! How could a bastard like you be promoted? You're worse than a dog in the Zhao Mansion. No one can take away my credit."

As he spoke, he kicked Zhao Liangchen on the head. Zhao Liangchen did not dodge or resist. Instead, he took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it directly into Zhao Kuo's mouth while he was still cursing.

Before Zhao Kuo could react, the people who had chased after Zhao Liangchen had already arrived. They stepped forward and pressed Zhao Kuo down. When his face was pressed to the ground, he bit the pill and swallowed it.

Someone went forward to help Zhao Liangchen, but Zhao Liangchen had already fainted. They hurriedly checked on Zhao Liangchen and found that he only had some minor injuries and was not seriously injured.

At this time, someone said: "Just now, it seemed that Zhao Kuo kicked him on the head. He must have fainted."

Another person said, "Then let's carry the head down to the military doctor to see if he gets hurt."

Someone stepped forward and carried Zhao Liangchen on his back, while others tried to pull Zhao Kuo up: "Get up."

As a result, when he pulled forward, he found that Zhao Kuo's head had drooped and his limbs were limp. The man lowered his head and wanted to curse, but he realized something was wrong. He touched Zhao Kuo's nose and found that he was dead. Frightened, he quickly shouted, "Torch!"

Someone brought a torch, and when they got closer, they saw that Zhao Kuo's face was pale and his lips were purple. He was already dead.

Several people rushed to check on him, and finally the one from the Ministry of Justice came to the conclusion: "He probably committed suicide by taking poison."

Now everyone looked unhappy. It would be of no benefit to them if the captured criminal died, because they would not be able to get anything out of him, and the responsibility might be put on them.

Someone was so angry that he kicked Zhao Kuo several times: "Damn it, you can't live in peace, and you're even dragging your brothers down with you after you die."

Someone stopped him and said, "That's enough. This kind of scumbag is not worth our anger."

After everyone was captured, they started to go down the mountain. Zhao Liangchen was carried on the back of one person, and Zhao Kuo was carried by two people. When they gathered halfway up the mountain, all the people were taken there, and all the prisoners and their families were captured.

When Zhao Kuo's wife saw them carrying Zhao Kuo over, she excitedly tried to stand up, but was restrained: "Behave yourself, I won't go easy on you just because you're a woman."

The woman stared at Zhao Kuo intently. Seeing them casually throw him to the ground, her eyes widened and she asked excitedly, "You killed him? You killed my husband? What qualifications do you have to kill him?"

Someone immediately retorted: "Don't slander us, look carefully, he committed suicide by taking poison."

The woman immediately retorted: "Impossible, he doesn't have any poison."

The man snorted disdainfully: "There was no poison. How did he die? How could a man tell you women everything?"

The woman didn't listen and just kept saying, "Impossible, you killed him."

After saying a few words, someone blocked his mouth.

By the time they brought all the people back to the camp, it was already dawn. The atmosphere in the entire camp was very strange. Everyone was gathered in the parade ground, but the ground with tens of thousands of people was very quiet and no one spoke.

Jin Tong and Tong Zhongqian sat on the platform with grim expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking. There were many boxes placed around them.

Seeing the prisoners being escorted back, the two men's faces became even uglier. Tong Zhongqian was still okay and could still control his emotions, but Jin Tong was completely furious. He rushed to the stage and kicked someone: "Fuck you, tell me who harbored you and who wants to harm me."

Jin Tong's martial arts skills were very good, and with one kick he made the man spit out blood. Tong Zhongqian quickly stopped him: "Commander Jin, the prisoner must not be harmed until the matter is thoroughly investigated."

Jin Tong knew it of course, but he was really angry. He was the commander of the imperial guards, but he didn't know that the entire imperial guards had already become a sieve.

After this investigation, Tong Zhongqian found signs of human life in the cellar, and it was not just a few people, nor just one or two days.

Most importantly, Tong Zhongqian actually found the lost disaster relief silver in the armory.

This means that the Imperial Guards were not only involved in the loss of the disaster relief silver, but were also the mastermind. How could he not be angry? The fact that the disaster relief silver and the fugitives were found in his camp was enough to kill him several times.

He was so angry that he had lost his mind. Tong Zhongqian could only arrange the follow-up matters. He checked the prisoners and saw Zhao Liangchen and Zhao Kuo lying there. "What happened to them?"

The man from the Ministry of Justice who was following Zhao Liangchen replied, "Sir, Lord Zhao was knocked unconscious while chasing the prisoner, Zhao Kuo, who committed suicide by taking poison."

Tong Zhongqian checked Zhao Kuo and found that he did seem to have committed suicide by poisoning. However, he was cautious and turned to ask Jin Tong, "Is the military doctor here?"

When Jin Tong saw the dead body, he regained some of his senses and called for a military doctor.

The military doctor was at the training grounds. He carefully examined Zhao Kuo and then replied, "Master Tong, in my opinion, he did die of poisoning. However, I don't know the exact type of poison, but how he took it."

Tong Zhongqian nodded. Military doctors are good at saving lives, not at autopsies. They need to take the body back to the Ministry of Justice for the coroner to examine. He pointed at Zhao Liangchen and said, "Please take a look at him."

The military doctor took Zhao Liangchen's pulse and carefully examined his entire body before replying, "Master Zhao's external injuries are not serious, but he suffered a severe head injury. He needs to be nursed back to health, as there may be sequelae."

Tong Zhongqian: "Can you wake him up first?"

The military doctor said: "I can only give him acupuncture to clear the blood clots in his head. As for whether he will wake up, I can't guarantee it."

Tong Zhongqian: "It's okay, you save him first. I will ask the emperor to send a doctor for him when we return to the city."

Zhao Liangchen was carried to the barracks, where the military doctor gave him an acupuncture injection and bandaged his wounds. Although his pulse seemed relatively stable, he still did not wake up.

On the parade ground, Tong Zhongqian said to Jin Tong, "Commander Jin, I'd like to trouble you to send some reliable men to accompany me in escorting the prisoners and the relief money back to the capital."

Jin Tong's eyes were sad: "Do you still believe in me?"

Tong Zhongqian patted his shoulder sympathetically and advised, "Relax, Commander Jin. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will make it clear in the memorial."

Jin Tong lowered his head, looking like he had made up his mind to die. "It's useless. With such a big thing happening, I can't escape the blame even if I didn't know about it. I just ask Master Tong to help me save my family's lives when we go to the Dali Temple to determine the charges."

Tong Zhongqian looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Commander Jin, do you think you can commit such a heinous crime with just a few imperial guards?

The person behind them is definitely more powerful than you and me. He definitely doesn't want this matter to get involved too much and wants to close the case as soon as possible.

First, stabilize the Imperial Guard camp, start a self-inspection, and hand over a few individuals who are indeed problematic. I believe someone will be able to minimize the seriousness of the matter, and you won't necessarily be convicted."

Jin Tong's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Master Tong, are you telling the truth?"

Tong Zhongqian nodded: "Don't worry, not only the people behind this matter, but also the emperor and the court officials don't want this matter to become too big.

The main thing now is to give an explanation to the victims and comfort them.

As long as we give them an explanation and distribute disaster relief funds, this matter will not be investigated further."

Although Jin Tong was still unsure, he finally had a fighting spirit in his heart: "Okay, this time I will definitely investigate thoroughly to see which bastard is betraying me."
