Liu Yueqing's eyes were covered with blood, as ferocious as a wounded beast.

"Retribution! I deserve it! I deserve it!"

Liu Yanzong said: "Tell me, as long as you say it, the court will give you additional titles and your brothers can be taken care of."

"I said!" Liu Yueqing roared viciously, "It was Shangguan Qi's order to me, it was him. He knew that the court would pursue it at this time, and he would blame Shangguan Hongru at that time. After pulling his brother down, he could take charge of the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce!"

Liu Yanzong and He Liming looked at each other, and the chief clerk next to him was taking a record.

"Is there anyone else?"

"I don't know anything else. I received the order from Shangguan Qi. He promised that after I succeed, I would be the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. From then on, the court will entrust the Chamber of Commerce with important tasks. We will surely make a fortune. The court set a precedent for the title of merchants. He also promised that everyone will be able to win titles in the future!"

This makes sense. Interests and reputations can make people crazy, let alone a fame and fortune market like Tokyo City, which is full of intrigue and deception?

It is good to say that people are about to die. Liu Yueqing can't live anymore, and his whole family is destroyed. What else can he hide?

But who is the one who destroyed Liu Yueqing's family?

This is obviously against the court and against the Holy Emperor!

Moreover, in Tokyo, the emperor's eyes are low!

Liu Yanzong and He Liming turned around and went to the prison where Shangguan Qi was imprisoned, but...

Shangguan Qi is dead!

Liu Yanzong frowned, and He Liming was even more stunned.

Killing someone in the inspector's office, is it because there is an insider in the Imperial City Department?

If an insider appears in the Imperial City Department’s personal army, it will be a very terrible thing!

He Liming roared angrily: "Who killed Shangguan Qi, how did you interrogate him? Didn't this official say he wanted him to live!"

The Imperial City Guard hurriedly knelt on one knee: "Report to He Shangguan, Beizheng went out to use the toilet and handed it over to Wu Yi. When he came back, Shangguan Qi was dead! Please forgive me!"

He Liming took a deep breath and said coldly: "Shangguan Qi is so critical. If you die in your hands, you can't spare you!"

When the imperial guard heard this, his face was pale, and He Liming roared angrily: "Come on! Take him down and question him!"

"Shangguan spares your life, a humble position makes a mistake! Shangguan spares your life..."

He Liming's heart was bleeding, and this imperial guard was also one of his confidants.

But Shangguan Qi died at his hands. He said it was done by Wu Yi, but who knows how true it is?

Now I would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let a fish that misses the net.

He Liming ordered again to go to Wu Yi quickly.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Liu Yanzong frowned. The complexity of this matter was beyond his expectations. He was thinking about how to report the matter to the emperor.

He was still thinking, who was driving this matter behind the scenes and what was the motivation?

Prevent the release of Jiaozi in the imperial court?

It is impossible. To instigate a chamber of commerce is like stopping Jiaozi's release, it is undoubtedly a dream.

Obviously, it is to anger the emperor and cause turmoil in the court.

Just say that after the last cleaning, the court had basically stabilized, and the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor had basically been swept out of the center.

The emperor's newly established imperial power structure completely consolidated the emperor's power.

Whether it was the Northern Expedition to expel the Jin thieves, the recovery of Yanyun, or the defeat of the Kong family, the cleansing of the Central Plains, and the shattering of the south, the emperor's prestige was rising.

The Song Dynasty has basically stabilized in the current Song Dynasty, but some people are unwilling to be such stability!

Liu Yanzong couldn't sleep anymore.

He Liming couldn't sleep even more, so he took the people to Shangguan Qi's residence himself.

It was found that Shangguan Qi's family of eighty were all killed, and even the chickens and ducks in the kitchen and the dogs in the yard were not left!

No clues were left behind and they were done very cleanly!

In the second half of the night, Liu Yanzong entered the palace with a heavy mood.

He reported everything to the emperor truthfully, and originally thought that the emperor would be furious, but the emperor acted very calmly.

"Continue to check, I want a result."

"Don't worry, I will give the emperor a satisfactory explanation!"

Liu Yanzong gritted his teeth and then said that the emperor had two meanings.

First, you, Liu Yanzong, must find the real murderer for me, and second, you can arrange a scapegoat as soon as possible to calm down the influence of this matter.

After Liu Yanzong left, Zhao Huan frowned and fell into deep thought.

It seems that only one line in the Imperial City Department is not enough and cannot be controlled.

At this time, Xie Dahai and He Liming came to ask for a meeting.

Xie Dahai and He Liming knelt on the ground.

"Please punish the emperor!"

As the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Department, Xie Dahai had an internal thief in the Imperial City Department, so he naturally had to bear the charge.

"You two are fined for three months of salary, each with twenty sticks!"

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor!"

Immediately, Zhao Huan said again: "Wang Kui'an, it's cold, send more good wine to warm up the men."

"yes!"

When Xie Dahai and He Liming heard this, they felt warm. Although they were fined and beaten twenty sticks, at least the emperor still cared about them and trusted them.

Xie Dahai and He Liming went out to receive the punishment, and Zhao Huan asked Wang Kuian to send the medicine over, and the two felt even more heartbroken.

The Imperial City Department divided the Exploration Department and the Ice Well Affairs Department, but these two departments did not form any real constraints.

If there is only one line in the Imperial City Department, it will not be truly controlled, and the emperor's personal army also needs to be monitored.

However, the Imperial City Guards cannot be said to be surveillance, but rather to prevent the Imperial City Guard from expanding uncontrollably, causing bloated personnel and reduced quality.

In fact, any organization has a hidden danger during the expansion period: it expands too fast, resulting in the personnel quality not keeping up, which lowers the strength of the entire team and eventually collapses.

Such examples abound when companies expanded in later generations.

To restrain the Imperial City Department, we cannot set up a new department directly, which will undoubtedly touch the Imperial City Department's nerves. They will think that the emperor is prepared for them?

This will cause people's hearts to fluctuate. The Imperial City Secretary is Zhao Huan's eyes. The Imperial City Secretary is still expanding. If the unstable information is transmitted at this time, it will undoubtedly be fatal.

Therefore, the department that restricts the Imperial City Department is first placed in the Inspectorate and in the name of the civil servants of the supervision of the Imperial City Department.

But Liu Yanzong is too sleek. It's okay in Tokyo City. With me suppressing him, he dare not do anything. Once he is given another guard that can sink to the local area, he may be complicating the matter.

In this way, I still have to find another person to be placed in the Inspectorate and be Liu Yanzong's deputy. This deputy will be responsible for hindering the Imperial City Department and then become independent when the time is right.

In order to be more secure, this person, or this team, must have fatal flaws, which will lead to them not having too much power and just want to realize their personal value.
