Geng Zhongqiu killed Xiao Yajian, which is now the chief constable of Liusanmen. If this matter is due to personal grudges, then this matter is Geng Zhongqiu's private affairs.

But if Geng Zhongqiu killed Xiao Yajian because Xiao Yajian found out some illegal weapons that were cast in privately, guns, crossbows, and arrows, then this matter would be the matter of the entire Qianmen Lianheng faction.

This matter is related to the Qianmen Lianheng faction, and Jiang Xia was the first to be poured with sewage.

In the Ganqing Palace in the palace, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon throne, and Liu Jin was standing next to her. On the floor of the hall below the dragon case was a middle-aged man bandaged on many sides of his body. This person was no one else, and he was Xiao Yajian, the chief of the Six Gates of the Capital.

Six Gates of the Capital. Those who know this organization naturally know that this department is a relatively mysterious department in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The reason is that their main duties are actually masters who arrest crimes in the martial arts world, or those who arrest the murderers who were extremely evil and failed to arrest the criminals who were wanted for many years.

Generally speaking, most of the people in the Six Gate are experts recruited from the Jianghu, which is an excellent platform for people in the Jianghu to enter the officialdom. However, without the recommendation of people in the imperial court, ordinary Jianghu masters cannot enter the Liuhu.

At this moment, Xiao Yajian knelt on one knee on the ground. After Zhu Houbao took a few glances, he couldn't help but nod and praised: "It's true that he is a master of the martial arts world. It's rare that he can still look so seriously injured."

"Thank you for your praise," Xiao Yajian said.

In fact, Xiao Yajian did not suffer any serious injuries that day. Xiao Yajian actually released soft muscle scattered on the yamen servants who were killed by Geng Zhongqiu. Geng Zhongqiu had already inhaled a lot of soft muscle scattered when he fought with them. When he was fighting with him, he subdued Geng Zhongqiu without using ten moves.

Only he suffered a little injury on his arm, which was because he didn't know that the last few tricks of the Wanye Sword Technique would be so exquisite.

The reason why I bandaged my whole body at this moment was actually just to show it in front of the emperor and leave a heroic impression.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and asked, "Liu Jin said you want to report the case to me personally, so I asked Zhang Yong to tell me about your visit to the palace. Tell me what kind of sect this Thousand Sect is, and who is its head."

Xiao Yajian secretly glanced at Liu Jin. In fact, this matter was not that Xiao Yajian wanted to report the case to Zhu Houzhao himself, but that Liu Jin was unwilling to interfere too much, so he asked Xiao Yajian to tell the case himself.

Xiao Yajian said: "If you go back to the emperor, this Qianmen is a sect that has been passed down for many years. Its sect is organized in a strict manner and has many disciples. Most of the activities of the sects are mainly about cheating and cheating. The small ones are to deceive those merchants, and the big ones are even dared to forge the letter of the Ming Dynasty as envoys of the Ming Dynasty to go to the surrounding small countries to cheat money."

"Bastard!" Zhu Houzhao was furious when he heard this sentence, "My Ming Dynasty and the Heavenly Kingdom have always been in court, and they have always been granted money with the envoys around him. How could anyone ever ask for money from them? These thousand doors are simply a humiliation of the country's system, and their crimes should be punished!"

Zhu Houzhao stood up and pointed at Xiao Yajian and asked, "Tell me, who is the head of this Qianmen? I must kill his head!"

"Back to the emperor, the new leader of this Qianmen is named Jiang Xia, who is said to be the top scholar in the current academic field and the ninth rank of the Jiaofangsi."

"Bang!"

Before Xiao Yajian could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his forehead. He heard a "六华" sound. He lowered his head and realized that he had been smashed by a teacup.

Xiao Yajian looked up at Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao seemed to be furious. He shouted loudly: "Do you say Jiang Xia is the head of this Qianmen? Do you say he will privately cast swords, guns, crossbows and arrows to plot against him? Do you say he will forge the letter of state and pretend to be an envoy to cheat money?"

Zhu Houzhao asked three questions in a row, one question asked louder than the other. After thinking about it, he seemed to be furious and could not vent his anger. He picked up the inkstone on his desk and prepared to throw it at Xiao Yajian again.

Xiao Yajian felt crawling on the ground and said in panic: "Your Majesty, every word that I said is true. If there is a half of the false words, I am willing to drop the head on my neck."

"It's useless to keep your pig's head. Since you say that, I'll cut it for you!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned cold and she shouted in a deep voice: "Come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, two sword guards walked in outside the door. The two guards knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I am not a good job and meet the emperor."

Zhu Houzhao was about to give an order, but Liu Jin suddenly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I have anything to say or not."

"Say." Zhu Houzhao said.

"I obey the order. I feel that this Chief Xiao has no grudges with Jiang Xia in the past and has no grudges recently, and there is no reason to wrongly accuse him for no reason. It is better to let this Chief Xiao tell me what evidence he has to prove that Jiang Xia is the head of the Thousand Sects, so as not to have any misunderstandings."

Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while after listening to Liu Jin's words. He took a breath and let out, then waved his hand and said, "You two can go out first."

"Resign from a humble position!" The two guards retreated.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Yajian and said, "I warn you that it is best to have iron evidence in your hands. Otherwise, if I know that you are wrongly accusing Jiang Xia, I will dismember you from the body immediately!"

Ren Xiao Yajian was also a master, but when he heard Zhu Houzhao say this, his whole body trembled, and his whole back was wet with cold sweat coming out of his body.

Xiao Yajian never expected that the emperor would like Jiang Xia. He just said that Jiang Xia was the head of Qianmen. The emperor almost killed him without even asking about evidence. If it weren't for Eunuch Liu, he would have probably been here.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yajian secretly glanced at Liu Jin with gratitude. But Liu Jin looked at his nose and his heart without looking sideways as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Xiao Yajian took a breath and took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Jiang Xia and said, "Your Majesty, this letter was intercepted by our six doors. Please check it out."

Zhu Houbao looked at Liu Jin, and Liu Jin immediately walked down and took the letter and took it apart, took out the letter paper from it and shook it open and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao took it over and took a few glances. At first, he was a little careless, but then the contents of the letter made Zhu Houzhao frown.

The letter was written to Jiang Xia by King Huai of Raozhou Prefecture. The content of the letter roughly stated that he had received the letter written to him by Jiang Xia. He was very pleased that Jiang Xia could approach the emperor and become the favorite minister of the emperor, and it was worthwhile to train him. King Huai also told Jiang Xia to step up the casting of weapons, and then wait for him to send a large army to disguise into the capital in batches and then use those weapons to incur the uprising.

King Huai also promised that if the great cause is achieved, Jiang Xia will be appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet, etc.

After seeing the letter, Zhu Houzhao suddenly fell silent. He sighed slightly, put the letter in and put it back into the envelope.

Seeing that Zhu Hou had taken care of the letter, Xiao Yajian said, "Emperor, I have another witness. This person is one of the four great vajras under Jiang Xia, named Ma."

"Enough." Zhu Houzhao shouted softly, and her whole body seemed to have become very heavy. He waved his hand and said to Xiao Yajian: "You retreat first, don't mention this to others."

"I understand, I will leave!" Xiao Yajian knew that the letter had worked. He did not expect that a mere letter that forged the handwriting of King Huai and stamped a fake King Huai private seal would have such an effect. Xiao Yajian suddenly remembered that King Ning said to him that the emperor was destined to be lonely for a lifetime, because they were born to be unable to trust anyone, nor could they believe anyone.

After Xiao Yajian left, Zhu Hou took a look at Liu Jin and asked, "Liu Jin, what do you think? Do you think Jiang Xia has ulterior motives to get close to me? Do you think he will betray me?"

Zhu Houzhao's two questions made Liu Jin silent for a moment. He had to think carefully before deciding how to answer them.

Finally, Liu Jin replied cautiously: "I can't see clearly when I say the emperor. I think Jiang Xia should not betray the emperor on the surface, but if Jiang Xia's origin is unknown, it is worth pondering and suspicion that I agree."

Liu Jin's two sentences are simply nonsense, without any substantive statements.

But this is Liu Jin. Even when it was the most suitable for adding damage to the wrong person, he resisted not adding damage to the wrong person. Because Zhu Houzhao had not fully expressed his opinion at this moment, Liu Jin was afraid that he would add damage to the wrong person and fell into the well without paying attention.

Zhu Houzhao sighed slightly and said, "Go and call Jiang Xia to see me."

"I obey the order." Liu Jin said.

After Liu Jin left the palace, he went straight to Xiaoyao Villa. When he saw Jiang Xia, he had already put on a court suit, and seemed to be waiting for him to come and see him in the palace.

Liu Jin felt a little nervous, and he suddenly had a premonition.

Perhaps it was not Jiang Xia who suffered this time, but Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, who might have suffered.

When Jiang Xia saw Liu Jin, he immediately smiled and said, "I am joining Eunuch Liu and I'm sorry to have a special trip. Jiang Xia is really a sin."

"We don't have to be polite. Be careful after entering the palace. If you have anything to do, ask the emperor for mercy. The emperor is a nostalgic person. As long as you plead with mercy, he will not make things difficult for you."

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your advice."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he looked at Liu Jin deeply.

Jiang Xia understood what it means to guide the blind man to jump off the cliff. He had basically guessed how his opponent would frame him this time. If he entered the palace, he would insist on not admitting it. If he really admitted it, he would still ask Zhu Houzhao for mercy. Not to mention that he was just his sworn brother, even his biological brother would probably not be able to escape and die.

Jiang Xia followed Liu Jin into the palace. After arriving at the Qianqing Palace, he met Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and asked Liu Jin to go out, and then instructed Liu Jin to close the door.

At the moment when the door was closed, Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao pick up a letter from the table and throw it to Jiang Xia and shouted loudly: "Look, you have done a good thing!"

Jiang Xia shook for a while, and squatted down to pick up the letter.

Liu Jin closed the door completely, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that if there were no accidents, Jiang Xia would probably be finished this time.
