There was such a shocking case in the capital, and the government and the opposition were shocked, and in the capital, which was guarded by hundreds of thousands of troops, there would be people who openly broke into people's houses at night and sat down in the case of dozens of lives, which made the face of Kaifeng Mansion, which was responsible for the security of the capital, gloomy.

What made Kaifeng Mansion Yin panic even more was that this house turned out to be the private residence of Xia Zhu, the deputy privy envoy, and Xia Zhu's only daughter was in the house on the day of the accident.

Xia Zhu's anger is beyond measure, it is clear that Su Jin did it, Xia Siling's set of statements Xia Zhu didn't believe it at all, all the people were killed, and Xia Siling was killed, who is not Su Jin? The robbers entered the house with so many martial arts and couldn't escape, how could Xia Siling, a weak woman, escape?

Xia Zhu coaxed Xia Siling to tell the truth, but Xia Siling insisted that a group of masked gangsters had entered the house, and he escaped under the desperate cover of several guards. It was also said that one of the gangsters was able to run on the ridge of the house like a tanuki, and said that it was amazing; The angry Xia Zhu ordered someone to beat the common man violently, and almost cured him of the crime of bewitchment and foolery.

Despite this, Xia Zhu has a new understanding of Su Jin's strength, Xia Zhu knows the best about the strength of manpower in the Jade Tower, and several witnesses said that only six or seven people entered the Jade Tower, which means that with the strength of these six or seven people, they will kill all these twenty or so nurses, which is a bit unbelievable.

Xia Zhu thought about secretly retaliating, but he thought that since Su Jin dared to be so arrogant, he must also be prepared, if he was not clean with his hands and feet, he would be bitten back, and the best way was to find out Su Jin's head, if he could get some evidence to prove that Su Jin was behind the scenes, the two cases of Liu Binhua and Yuzhanglou would be closed together.

Xia Zhu personally participated in the investigation of the scene, and he found that the injuries of more than ten people were very strange, as if they were hit on the head and face by a hidden weapon like raindrops, the face was covered with iron sand, and the scalp was numb.

Kaifeng Mansion has rich experience in work, and immediately concluded that it was a firearm, and only powerful firearms, using gunpowder to induce iron sand, can injure people like this, so the spearhead is directed at the Shenhuo Battalion of the Military Department.

Commander Qin of the Shenhuo Battalion didn't dare to hide it in the face of Xia Zhu's inquiry, and directly told Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong about coming to buy firearms.

Ying Tianfu Quan knew that he was Wen Yanbo, a capable minister who had recently been transferred from the deputy envoy of Hedong, and this person had always acted in a scheming manner, and he found that Xia Zhu seemed to be deliberately leading this big case to Su Jin and Fu Bi, who had privately purchased firearms from the Shenhuo camp, which made him a little restless.

To be honest, even if there are firearms in the case, it does not mean that Su Jin and Fu Bi, who bought firearms privately, have long been circulated among the people, and there are many firecracker workshops in various places, and anyone can easily make simple firearms.

Besides, it is a joke to count on such a firearm to kill, the bamboo tube assault rifle of the Shenhuo Battalion has long been cited as a joke in the DPRK, and the gunpowder is filled with more and injures its own soldiers, and the filling is less, it can only prompt more than a dozen iron sand, and it can't go far, to put it mildly, even a chicken can't be killed, let alone killing.

The evidence obtained from the investigation shows that even if it is a firearm, this is by no means the damage that can be caused by the firearms of the Shenhuo Battalion, and the iron sand from this firearm is densely packed with thousands, although it is not clear from how far it is fired, but it is conceivable that so much iron sand has to be driven into the flesh, which requires a large amount of gunpowder to be filled, and the firearms of the Shenhuo Battalion cannot meet this point at all.

In view of this, Wen Yanbo decided to quickly bring this matter to the emperor, if Xia Zhu was bent on putting this big case on the heads of Su Jin and others, it would cause an uproar, and if there was a leak, he would not be able to get out of it.

So when Xia Zhu summoned Zhao Fang and the two to inquire, Wen Yanbo hurriedly informed the prime minister Lu Yijian and the third envoy Yan Shu of the matter respectively, Wen Yanbo believed that these two people could still control the situation, if any of them spoke to investigate to the end, then they would have nothing to do with themselves if something happened in the future.

Lu Yijian was quite surprised, he didn't know why Xia Zhu did this? To say that Su Jin did make Lu Yijian very dissatisfied, and a group of people, including Du Yan, did not like this kid, but the real reason was because this kid was very close to Yan Shu, and he faintly became an important help for Yan Shu to seize the phase, and attacking Su Jin was actually just a blow to Yan Shu; The methods used by Lü Yijian and Du Yan were just to pick thorns in the errand, or like the last Song Liao negotiation, they gave him a hot errand and waited for him to make a mistake, and then grabbed the pigtails and held on.

It is obviously inappropriate for Xia Zhu to check the firearms on the heads of Su Jin and others with such fanfare, which will annoy Yan Shu.

Everyone knows that Su Jin and Xia Zhu have never even met, so how could they be stupid enough to go to Xia Zhu's other courtyard to kill people, and they are all inconsequential nursing homes.

As Lu Yijian expected, Yan Shu was furious; In Yan Shu's opinion, Su Jin and Xia Zhu have nothing to do with each other, Xia Zhu must have been instructed by someone to do this, saying that it was to investigate the case and find Su Jin's head, but his goal was obviously aimed at himself, Rao is Yan Shu has a good temper, and he can't help it this time.

……

Early morning of the tenth day of March.

The ministers had finished saluting, and before Yan Shu could wait for Zhao Zhen's ass to sit firmly, he was the first to come out and play: "The minister Yan Shu asked the saint to know that the major case in Beijing was under investigation yesterday, but the privy deputy envoy Lord Xia acted inappropriately, and did not mention the interference in the investigation of the Kaifeng Mansion on behalf of the privy envoys. If you are like Lord Xia, wouldn't all the fireworks workshops in the world be suspicious? What's more, it involves the imperial court officials. ”

Zhao Zhen's color changed and asked, "What's the matter?" How did the investigation find out about Fu Bi Su Jin's head, Deputy Envoy Xia, you can talk about it. ”

Xia Zhu did not show weakness, and argued: "Your Majesty, the big case in Beijing, although it is the private residence of the minister, but if it is not investigated, it is a big worry in Beijing, today is my summer house, tomorrow it is Lu House, or Lord Yan's house, and it is more likely to be the royal house; Moreover, the bandits had firearms in their hands, and their power was amazing, and the minister thought that the matter should be thoroughly investigated no matter what; Although gunpowder and other things are widely circulated among the people, there are very few people who really know how to make this kind of firearms, so the minister naturally wants to start from the Shenhuo Battalion that understands firearms, but he didn't expect to find out that Su Jinfubi and others had privately purchased the abandoned assault guns of the Shenhuo Camp a few days ago, so the minister has been following this clue to investigate, but it is not just for Su Jin and others as Yan Sansi said, the minister is right about things and not people. ”

Xia Zhu's high-sounding words were also impeccable, but Yan Shu wanted to refute but couldn't.

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Then what did Xia Aiqing find out?" ”

Xia Zhu said: "Last night, the minister asked Zhao Dehai and Fang Chengzhong, the two deputy commanders of the Ma Army, who bought firearms on Su Jin's orders, and they all said that they were firearms purchased by Su Jin's order, and they also said that some of them were used, and some of them were still in Su Jin's hands......"

Zhao Zhen said: "Then you will determine that Su Jin is related to your Xia family's big case?" ”

Xia Zhu thought for a while and said, "At least there is a suspicion, why don't you hand over the remaining gunpowder and firearms?" What is the purpose of being in the home? The minister will continue to investigate. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Ridiculous, did you infer it like that?" Tell you, there are also firearms in my palace, Qin Meng of the Divine Fire Camp sent me a few firearms a year ago, so that I can try the power of firearms, and now the firearms are still in my imperial study, according to what you say, am I also suspicious? ”

Xia Zhu hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "The minister doesn't dare, why did the emperor say this, the minister just wants to find out the case, but he has no other meaning." ”

Zhao Zhen said gently: "Get up, I know that you are worried about the security of Gyeonggi, but don't chase after the wind, I know about Su Jin's purchase of firearms, and it is the pile of rags in the Shenhuo Camp that Su Jin bought with his own money, what reason do I have to ask him to return it afterwards?" Besides, it seems wrong for you to suspect court officials indiscriminately just because a thief used a firearm; I know you have no selfish motives, but your actions do harm the unity of your courtiers. ”

Xia Zhu blinked and said: "The minister asked to ask Su Jin in person, so that he could explain this matter clearly, not only to prove his innocence, but also to avoid suspicion, wouldn't it be better to figure things out than to cover it up?" Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "It's okay, but if you don't meddle in this matter after the matter is clear, you don't want to investigate the case as well as Wen Yanbo, the right to know the power of Kaifeng Prefecture, and let them investigate it in the future; As the subject, you can supervise and ask, but you must not interfere. ”

Xia Zhu nodded and said, "Obey." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Spread that Su Jin is coming to the court." ”

The chamberlain hurriedly sent someone out of the palace to find Su Jin, knowing that Su Jin could not be taken with him in the History Museum, and the chamberlain came directly to Su Jin's residence in the south of the victory bridge, but Su Jin was not in the house at all.

The emperor came to invite, Xiao Sui'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the attendant out to look for it, and ran for almost half an hour before he found Su Jin who was drinking tea and appreciating flowers with a few people in the peach garden in the backyard of Xiangguo Temple.

After the waiter explained the situation, Su Jin was furious, and smashed the teacup in his hand on the stone table, which shocked Wang Anshi and others present.

Along the way, Su Jin was angry, he didn't expect Xia Zhu to dare to openly doubt himself, this is a blatant provocation, he and he have only been secretly doing things, and the entanglement between them has never been put on the table, although he is a little ruthless, but so far, the two sides are only even; Although Liu Binhua was booby-trapped by himself, Rou Niang was still in a coma and never woke up, and her life and death were still uncertain; Xia Zhu picked the matter first, but his counterattack was more violent.

Today, Su Jin really couldn't wipe off Wang Anshi's face, so he came out to distract from them who had just passed the test, but he didn't expect this mad dog to dare to openly attack in the court. Su Jin secretly made up his mind that he would never leave him half a point of affection today.
