Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

"Just last night, my arsenal released a batch of weapons, but my personal guard and military advisor secretly sent these weapons out of the city.

What surprised me even more was that the Imperial City Department, which was supposed to be guarding the Imperial City, opened the door in the middle of the night..."

When Huang, the clerk of Wu Ku Shu, heard the emperor mention Wu Ku Shu's name, he was so scared that he stood up immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I knew nothing about this matter. I am willing to cooperate with all investigations and prove my innocence."

Zhao Ye stared at the other person for a long while before saying, "We should investigate thoroughly."

Everyone has the illusion that whenever His Majesty's eyes sweep across everyone, it seems that he will be the next one to be pointed at, which makes people feel afraid.

Then, several more people stood up at the same time, hoping to win the sympathy of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I made a mistake. I didn't know people well enough. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

Zhao Ye looked at Xiaoxiao with a cold gaze: "You guys seem to have such a tacit understanding. I didn't even know that my Imperial City Division and the Personal Army Division were so familiar with each other."

Zhang Wei and Yuan Jiang's backs were soaked by this time. Li Zhongnan had sent someone to talk to them early in the morning and told them to keep their mouths shut.

Otherwise, not only will His Majesty not let them go, but even King Cheng will not let them off easily. As for their families, Li Zhongnan promised to protect them.

"Your Majesty, I have failed to judge people, but this matter was absolutely not my doing. I beg Your Majesty to understand."

Very good, it is exactly the same as what Wu Ku Shu answered just now. Do they think that if they find someone to take the blame, I will let them go.

It's too late. I will not tolerate anyone this time.

Everyone was extremely shocked when they heard this and began to whisper to the people around them.

Zhao Ye walked past Li Zhongnan, just glanced at him briefly, and did not stop, but continued to walk towards the dragon throne.

"My army is supposed to protect the court and the people. Since they're not doing their job, I can just withdraw them and replace them. I believe there are many capable and righteous officials. Without them, do you think I have no one to rely on?"

Seeing that His Majesty's anger had subsided a lot, Li Zhongnan immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, if you start such a big war, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the people and be detrimental to the stability of the country. I suggest that it is better to proceed privately."

After he finished speaking, another group of court officials stood up and agreed with Li Zhongnan's suggestion.

Zhao Ye glanced at the eunuchs and wrote down the people who came out one by one. He was ready to settle accounts with them when the time came!

The old officials need reasons to deal with it and have to weigh the pros and cons. If those who have no say also join in the fun, isn't that courting death? It's not easy to deal with them.

Zhao Ye stopped talking, and the kneeling people were not allowed to stand up. The guards on both sides of the hall blocked the door.

This made many people anxious. The time between the incident and the start of court was too short, and many things were too late to deal with...

Just when everyone was worried, the capital city became bustling with activity. Xiao Heng led his men to surround the Armory, the Imperial City Office, and the Imperial Guard Office.

The soldiers of the Imperial Guard drew their swords one by one and confronted the Dragon and Tiger Army, refusing to give in at all.

Xiao Heng strode in and announced loudly, "His Majesty has issued an order to thoroughly investigate the incident of the unauthorized transport of weapons last night. Any resistance will be considered treason. Those who lay down their weapons will be punished at the discretion of the court."

After saying this, those holding swords began to hesitate, and in a moment, many people threw their weapons to the ground.

The Dragon and Tiger Army immediately stepped forward, tied up the men one by one, and made them squat in the corner.

"Search for me!"

After receiving the order, everyone started searching immediately. Wen Ji ran to the place where the prisoners were held and looked around, but he didn't see Jiu Ning. Helplessly, he could only shake his head at Xiao Heng.

"Interrogate me carefully!"

The people from the Dragon and Tiger Army had to conduct the investigation and check the files at the same time, and they were so busy that they had no time to rest.

"Master, we found it. The person who checked the weapons is called Cao Bin."

"Go to the Arsenal and get him immediately."

Xiao Heng led his men on horseback and immediately rushed to the armory. When he heard that the man did not show up for duty today, he hurried to the man's home.

But he was a step too late. Before he even entered the house, he heard crying.

I saw a three-foot-long white ghost hanging from the beam, with Cao Bin's body still dangling on it, and his confession letter on the table.

The higher-ups only acknowledged that he had exploited his position to produce excess weapons and handed them over to the Imperial Army, but they never mentioned what the weapons were used for or to whom they were given.

The same thing happened in the Imperial City. When he arrived, the person had already committed suicide by leaving a confession.

He is really an old fox and his actions are very quick. Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel extremely angry. Although the other party lost a lot of people this time, he didn't get any handle on Li Zhongnan.

There has been no news from the city gate so far, and no suspicious people have been found.

Could it be that Jiuning had been sent out of the city? However, he had already asked people, and there were not many people leaving the city in the morning, and he had not found any suspicious signs.

This made him feel helpless and lost.

"Keep searching. If you still can't find it, search every house."

No one dared to provoke Xiao Heng, who was on the verge of a rage, and could only obey the order and leave.

Your Majesty trapped the ministers in the palace, and Xiao Heng trapped the entire capital, allowing only entry but not exit. This made the people of the capital panic.

It was not until two days later that Yuan Jiang of the Imperial City Division was dismissed from office and expelled from the capital for misjudging people. Afterwards, the Imperial City Division was purged and taken over by His Majesty himself.

Zhang Wei of the Imperial Guard Department was demoted to a commoner and executed on the spot for illegally reselling military equipment. Three generations of his family were not allowed to serve as officials in the court, and all his family members were exiled.

In the end, the only one left was the imperial clerk of the armory. This person was indeed deceived and had no idea about it, so he was given the lightest punishment and was demoted one level.

Under tremendous pressure, the city gate was closed for only two days before it was wide open.

But Xiao Heng seemed a little crazy, constantly searching from house to house. He hadn't slept for two days, and even with his eyes red, he refused to give up.

He even had a direct conflict with Li Zhongnan, and Li Zhongnan could not stand it anymore. Xiao Heng kept investigating his people, and all the things his family had handled were turned up one by one, and many people were killed.

If this continues, the losses will be huge.

At this time, Jiu Ning gradually woke up after two days of coma. Before he opened his eyes, a musty smell entered his nose.

Jiuning slowly opened his eyes. The room was very dark, with only a candlelight on the wall.

This seemed to be an enclosed room without any windows and no sunlight at all. She was about to sit up, but the next moment, pain came all over her body.

In an instant, all the memories, good and bad, when her eyes were bloodshot, came to her mind, making her face turn red.

Then she calmed down and felt the energy in her body. It seemed that it was running automatically during her coma, warming her meridians. Judging from the situation, she would recover in two days.

While I was thinking, I heard a low cough coming from next door.

Jiuning was surprised that there was someone else here besides herself.
