Chapter 1066: People Are Missing

Zhou Hongfu lowered his head and dared not speak, with a guilty look on his face.

Ding Jianian said in a deep voice: "This is all thanks to Lord Zhou."

Li Zhixing's face was gloomy, "What's going on?"

Ding Jianian leaned over and said: "I originally felt that there was no clear order, only oral instructions, and it was not in accordance with the rules to interrogate the prisoners, but Lord Zhou did not let me say anything.

There are three locks on the prison door. I wanted to wait for Lord Shangshu to come back.

But Lord Zhou is so smart that he asked someone to bring the thief who was caught a few days ago. This person is proficient in unlocking. These three locks were opened by the thief."

Li Zhixing was so angry that his eyes went black.

Snap! ! !

He slapped Zhou Hongfu hard.

"Zhou Hongfu, Zhou Hongfu, I know you are good at business and flattery, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid?

It's really hard to guard against thieves at home... It's all over now, you and I will wait to die."

Zhou Hongfu covered his swollen cheeks with horror.

"Sir, those people might really be from the palace."

Li Zhixing shook his head and sighed, "The possibility is almost zero. I was deceived into the Supervisory Office, and then people from the palace came to arrest me. How could it be such a coincidence?

All this was planned by the enemy, and you are also part of it. They must know that you like to flatter."

Li Zhixing suddenly stared at Zhou Hongfu coldly, "I ask you, have you been bribed?"

Zhou Hongfu was so scared that his face turned pale, "Sir, please understand, I am innocent."

At this moment, a yamen runner ran in.

"Sir, Geng Ziyi from the Supervisory Office has brought people here."

Li Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "Come here, take Zhou Hongfu to me and hand him over to the Supervisory Office for trial."

Zhou Hongfu was so scared that his soul was out of his body, "Sir, I am innocent, please forgive me, I am innocent..."

Li Zhixing snorted coldly, "Whether it is innocent or not, we have to try it to know, take him out!"

Li Zhixing had someone hold Zhou Hongfu outside and met Geng Jing.

Geng Jing saw Li Zhixing and hurriedly said, "Sir, is that person still there?"

Li Zhixing sighed and shook his head slightly.

Immediately, he told the story in detail.

Geng Jing's face changed drastically, and he smiled bitterly: "This is troublesome. The person is missing. How can we explain to His Majesty and the Regent?"

Li Zhixing said: "Now we have to find the person quickly and make amends.

This matter must be reported to His Majesty. Please issue an order to block the city gates and search the entire process."

Geng Jing said: "The left prime minister has sent people to notify the guards of the four city gates to strictly interrogate those who leave the city.

Master Ji has also mobilized the city defense army to search, but Master Ji can only mobilize 2,000 city defense troops... For a large-scale search, His Majesty must issue an order.

Geng also I will send out the people from the Supervisory Department, and I hope everything is still in time. "

"I will also send out the people from the Ministry of Justice." Li Zhixing pointed at Zhou Hongfu, "Please Geng Ziyi take this person back and interrogate him strictly."

Geng Jing nodded and said, "Gao Ziping, take him back and interrogate him strictly. In addition, send out all the people who can be used in the Supervisory Department."

"Yes!"

Geng Jing smiled bitterly, "I have to go to the palace to apologize. All the blame for this matter is on me... I am ashamed of your majesty's trust."

The people who delivered the letter were interrogated clearly.

These messengers were all thrown out to lure him into the bait, and they didn't know much.

Geng Jing smiled bitterly. He has always been cautious, and he was deceived this time.

Li Zhixing smiled bitterly, "Let's go together. The person was lost in the Ministry of Justice, and I have to go to the palace to apologize."

The two went to the palace to apologize together.

When they arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Li Hanru had already arrived.

But Li Hanru didn't know what happened specifically? He only knew that someone was going to rob the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and it was very likely that they had succeeded... He was entrusted by Geng Jing to go to the palace to ask Emperor An to issue an order to seal the city gate.

Kang Xiao was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and only a limited number of people, such as Emperor An, Geng Jing, and Li Zhixing, knew about it.

"Your servant Li Zhixing (Geng Jing) pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Emperor An asked, "Is he still there?"

Li Zhixing's old face turned pale, and he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the person... the person is missing!"

"What?" Emperor An was shocked, "Lord Li, is your Ministry of Justice a decoration? The prison of the Ministry of Justice was easily robbed by someone?"

Li Zhixing said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, calm down, I know my crime, please punish me."

Emperor An said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Explain it to me."

Li Zhixing and Geng Jing told the story again!

Emperor An's face was livid. "You daring bandits, you dared to forge an imperial decree and kidnap the prisoner from the Ministry of Justice. You deserve to die.

I have already issued an order to close the four city gates... Investigate for me and make sure to catch this group of people."

Li Hanru was confused and leaned over to say, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, who is this missing prisoner?"

Emperor An sighed and said, "His name is Kang Xiao, he is the biological brother of the Crown Prince of Nanyue, Kang Luo. He was captured by Ning Chen and sent to the capital secretly by the Ning An Army.

In order to conceal his tracks, he was detained in the Supervisory Department on the surface, but in fact he was detained in the Ministry of Justice."

Li Hanru's face changed. It turned out that he was the brother of the Crown Prince of Nanyue, Kang Luo. No wonder he was so important.

He looked at Li Zhixing and said in a deep voice, "Lord Li, it seems that your Ministry of Justice needs to investigate... It is ridiculous that the prisoner was lost without seeing the imperial decree of His Majesty and was able to take the prisoner away from the Ministry of Justice with just a verbal order.

And Geng Ziyi, your Supervisory Department should also conduct self-examination. Has the spy of the Supervisory Department been bribed? With just a little false information, the entire Supervisory Department was fooled. "

Li Zhixing and Geng Jing were ashamed, and their old faces flushed.

Li Hanru cursed a little dirty.

It's no wonder that Li Hanru was angry, because in the whole incident, he and Ji Mingchen and others were the most innocent... They knew nothing, and were calculated by the people of the International Association, and almost carried the crime of treason.

Geng Jing looked at Li Hanru and said, "Lord Zuo Xiang, what's the matter with the people of the International Association frequently entering and leaving your mansion recently?"

Li Hanru was confused, "Geng Ziyi, you have to have evidence when you speak... I just heard about the International Association today, when did I have close contacts with the people of the International Association."

Emperor An waved his hand and said, "Okay, I believe in the loyalty of the Left Prime Minister and Lord Ji... The so-called people of the International Association frequently entered and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is estimated that the other party did it on purpose, entering the Prime Minister's Mansion under other names, deliberately causing Geng Ziyi to misunderstand.

The purpose is to make you focus on the left prime minister and Lord Ji and others, and have no time to think about their real purpose.

I guess that the Supervisory Department has been under surveillance... The left prime minister and others were all invited back to the Supervisory Department by you, and Lord Li was transferred away by design, which is enough to prove this point. "

Geng Jing was ashamed, "I am ashamed, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

It has always been the Supervisory Department that monitors others, but this time it was monitored and calculated by others.

Emperor An waved his hand, "My Supervisory Department, an important official in the court, was fooled by a country of all nations. If this gets out, won't people laugh at it?"
