Although it is similar to the idea, this step for Zhao Qinglan to negotiate with Su Jinpa is necessary, and it must be carried out immediately after Zhao Xuanji leaves the palace.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and Zhao Qinglan does not want to be suspected by Su Jinpa and Su Zhenting because of any details. Once there is a seed of doubt, it will directly radiate to Li Chen in the future.

At present, the only person Zhao Qinglan can catch is Li Chen.

However, at this moment, someone walked over from outside with an anxious look on his face.

Zhao Qinglan looked up and saw that he was from Dongchang.

"See the Empress and the Crown Princess."

Zhao Qinglan raised his hand and said, "Don't be polite, why are you panic?"

The man dared not look up, but just bowed and said in an extremely anxious tone: "Just just heard news that the eight counties in the Jingji area, including Tianjin Wei, Tongzhou and other places, were suddenly attacked by mobs, including Tianjin Wei and Tongzhou counties.

The prefect was killed, and the body was hung above the city gate. The other three counties were burned down, and the eight counties suffered varying degrees of damage."

"At present, Lord Chen Tong has urgently dispatched personnel to support him!"

These two sentences shocked Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa to stand up almost at the same time.

"What's the situation now? Are there casualties among the people in the eight counties?" Su Jinpa asked anxiously.

The man shook his head and said, "When the news came, there were no reports of casualties among the people, but the specific situation still needs to be found out after the information was sent back."

Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa looked at each other, and Su Jinpa said decisively: "Empress, the purpose of attacking the county government office is to disrupt people's hearts and disrupt the world. At this time, the power of the Dongchang alone is

Not enough.”

Zhao Qinglan immediately understood Su Jinpa's meaning and made a quick decision: "I passed on the imperial edict to grant General Su Zhenting full responsibility for this matter. If necessary, they can directly mobilize the troops of the military guards in the Gyeonggi area to enter the city for defense. Everything must be stabilized.

It's important."

No one mentioned the matter of catching the murderer. It was not that chasing the murderer was not important, but that anyone with discerning eyes understood that this was obviously a intentional arrangement to disrupt the situation. At the same time, the eight county government offices were attacked at the same time and killed two magistrates.

After burning several yamen, this efficiency and cooperation are definitely not something that a group of so-called mobs can do.

Since the other party is prepared, the murderer will not be able to catch him for a while. Even if he is found, the so-called murderer is just a chess piece used by others. The real murderer behind him is not that easy to catch.

The real urgent task is to stabilize the situation first and not worsen.

"Also, summon Chen Tong immediately and Zhou Ping'an into the palace!"

Half an hour later, the anxious Chen Tong and the unknown Zhou Ping'an entered the palace one after another to the Shangshu Room. Here, Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa had already been waiting in advance.

Zhou Ping'an, who finally arrived, entered the Shangshu room. Before he could pay his respects, he saw Chen Tong, who was sweating profusely in the middle of winter, kneeling on the ground and shouted anxiously: "I am incompetent, I deserve to die for the crime of being humble. I'll ask my mother.

Punishment!”

Zhou Ping'an was happy when he saw this. He was about to make some jokes, but then Chen Tong talked about the incident and Zhou Ping'an couldn't laugh.

The matter is roughly known, Zhao Qinglan and Su Jinpa have already known, and Chen Tong’s introduction is actually for Zhou Ping'an to listen to.
