Before the Wuyi Lane case was settled, a huge case of the Nine Gate Admiral's jail being robbed appeared. The court and the public were in a state of excitement. Various versions of rumors spread everywhere, and the tense atmosphere of the capital was in full swing. But what was strange was that many people and others had a mess of controversy. There were few court officials who had made the case on these two cases, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Hongqing, who was determined by the order. It was obvious that before Hongqing made any statement, the forces in the fields dared not act rashly.

Statement? Hongqing had no statement at all. Since she handed over the edict to Zhang Tingyu, Hongqing never went to ask about it again. She had never even left the gate of the Summer Palace. For ten days, except to convene various officials of the Ministry of Works to study the railway layout, she ignored everything else. Once this situation occurred, the civil and military officials in the court were unclear. Therefore, no one dared to give a good idea about the case of the Nine Gate Admiral Prison. Therefore, the situation in the court was so strangely chaotic that no one dared to assert how turbulent there would be after this dead silence.

"The emperor has met the prince."

Others could sit and watch, but Zhang Tingyu obviously did not have such a blessing. He came to the Summer Palace for several days in a row to ask for instructions. Unfortunately, Hongqing had been ill and never saw her. Emperor Chengde pressed her again and again, making Zhang Tingyu look like a rat in the bellows, and both ends were angry. But the case was very important. As the deputy chief judge, when Hongqing was ill and failed to leave, Zhang Tingyu could only be busy with responsibility. But even after ten days, he couldn't figure it out. In desperation, he could only come to the Summer Palace again to ask for a meeting. Fortunately, Hongqing gave face and went to the garden gate to greet her. When Hongqing finally showed up, Zhang Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to lose his courtesy. He rushed forward and gave a respectful gift.

"You are polite, Mr. Zhang, please speak inward."

Faced with Zhang Tingyu's big gift, Hongqing never put on the air of a prince. She bowed her hand politely and bowed back, then turned sideways and waved her hand to ask for it.

"Prince, please!"

Zhang Tingyu was originally a person who was cautious in his words and actions. No matter how anxious he was in his heart, he would not have any rudeness at this moment. He just bowed respectfully and waved his hand to ask Hongqing to take the lead.

"Please use tea for Zhang Xiang."

After the two of them chatted and entered the hall, they each divided the guests and hosts and seated. A group of servants rushed to serve the newly brewed incense tea and retreated to the hall one after another. Hongqing did not rush to ask about Zhang Tingyu's purpose, but just greeted him with a smile.

"The prince is clear and the prince comes here for the case of the Nine Gate Admiral. The prince is ashamed and has been working for many days. He has not yet opened up the situation. He can only come and ask the prince to come forward and take charge of the overall situation."

Zhang Tingyu and Hongqing have worked with them for many years, and they are very clear about Hongqing's temperament. They have never planned to play tricks that go wild. They have come up with the theme clearly.

"oh?"

Although Hongqing has never left the house these days, he can be very clear about the progress of the case. However, Hongqing did not intend to make a statement in a hurry, so she just said lightly without comment.

"Your Highness, this case has been delayed for a long time, and there are undercurrents between the government and the country. If the regulations are not decided early, it is likely that the country will be unfavorable. Please ask the Youth to make a clear judgment."

Even though he knew that Hongqing was just pretending to be confused, Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to continue to make a comment with a bitter face.

"What Zhang Xiang said is quite reasonable, but this charter? Well, I wonder if Zhang Xiangke has any advice?"

Hongqing was not actually unconcerned about the attack on the prison of the Nine Gate Admiral’s jail. In fact, over the past few days, the other end of the "sharp knife" has been fully launched, searching for various clues, but the results were pitifully rare. Geng Rong and several other people in the Nine Gate Admiral’s yamen suspected of this case disappeared without a trace, without seeing anyone in his life or without seeing the corpse. Cao Yanshan and others could not search for all the horns and knots in the capital, but they could not find any useful information. Although the difference between this case and the unsolved case was not too big, even so, Hongqing could not help but feel a little bored. Of course, Hongqing would not say anything about such an upset thing to Zhang Tingyu, so she just asked indifferently.

"This..., the officials thought it was appropriate to close the case as soon as possible, but later, there might be changes."

After hearing Hongqing's question, Zhang Tingyu was stunned. After hesitating for a while, hesitating carefully and giving a cautious suggestion.

"Well, Zhang Xiang's words are reasonable. Xiao Wang has been recuperating for a few days and his body is almost well. I'll go and check it out tomorrow."

Although Zhang Tingyu was talking about his personal suggestions, Hongqing knew that this suggestion was actually the holy intention when she heard it. However, she didn't care. Over the years, Hongqing had already seen through Emperor Chengde's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The reason why she deliberately said she was sick a few days ago was that she had no intention. In addition to trying to investigate who was behind the scenes of the Nine Gate Admiral's jail, she was also trying to teach Emperor Chengde a profound lesson. Asking him to be born in peace can at least make him more honest for a long time. If he was no longer tactful, Hongqing would not be polite to him. Now, Aoying has been almost done. In order to ensure the stability of the court's situation and the next development arrangements, it is time to end this farce. Because of this, Hongqing did not oppose Zhang Tingyu's proposal, but gave a positive promise very happily.

"The prince is wise. If you can get the prince to preside over this case, you can clarify the truth as soon as possible. The official will make arrangements and wait for the prince's orders at any time."

Zhang Tingyu was cautious by nature and was not a person who liked to talk too much. At this moment, he had already reached Emperor Chengde's instructions and did not want to stay in the Summer Palace for more. As soon as Hongqing finished speaking, he had already stood up. After praising him a few words, he took the opportunity to resign.

"Mr. Zhang is polite. This case has a great relationship. You and I really need to cooperate sincerely. Tomorrow, we will meet at the Nine Gate Admiral's Office. We will discuss the process at that time."

Hongqing knew Zhang Tingyu's nature very well and knew that his move was to avoid suspicion. However, he didn't care. He smiled and agreed on the time for the trial, and then politely sent him out of the garden gate. Then he returned to the study room of the inner courtyard and continued to discuss the railway layout with all the people of the Ministry of Works...

"I'll tell you, Zhang Tingyu, and Lord Zhang ask for a visit at the palace gate."

In the Hall of Yangxin, Emperor Chengde, wearing a bright yellow robe, was sitting upright behind the copy, holding the note in his hand, looking at it without a glance, without seeing it turning the previous page for a while, and it seemed that his thoughts were not on the note itself, and his frown was filled with sorrow that it could not be concealed. Just as he was stunned, Li Dequan walked up to the hall lightly, carefully approached the imperial palace, bowed, and reported in a low voice.

"Xuan, let's call Li Minquan together, go, go quickly!"

The reason why Emperor Chengde was absent-minded was waiting for news from Zhang Tingyu. When he heard that Zhang Tingyu had arrived, he did not have the heart to pay attention to the memorials, so he shouted.

"twitter!"

Since Emperor Chengde gave this order, Li Dequan did not dare to delay. He quickly agreed to the promise and hurriedly left the hall. After a while, he saw that Li and Zhang had already entered the hall together.

"I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

Li and Zhang had just arrived at the hall, and immediately felt the urgency and anxiety in Emperor Chengde's eyes when he looked over. He did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly took a few steps and grabbed the imperial court, and paid a lot of worship.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Hengchen, what did that guy say?"

After being endured by Hongqing for ten days, Emperor Chengde had long lost his grace as before. Without waiting for Li and Zhang to finish their courtesy, he waved his hands randomly and asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty clearly understands that Prince Ren has made a promise and will preside over the trial of this case tomorrow."

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was so anxious and lost the emperor's demeanor, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. However, he did not dare to express anything, so he could only give the answer respectfully.

"Oh? Does he have any other requests?"

When Emperor Chengde heard that Hongqing had agreed to come forward to trial the case, Emperor Chengde's tense heart immediately relaxed, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he quickly asked again.

"When you say this, Prince Ren has no other words, but only means that he will go to the Nine Gate Admiral's Office to discuss matters at the time of the day."

In fact, Zhang Tingyu never asked Hongqing what requests he had. He had no other choice, just because he knew that even if he asked, Hongqing would definitely not answer. The infight between the father and son of the Tian family was too dangerous. Zhang Tingyu naturally did not want to be involved too deeply. When he heard Emperor Chengde ask, he could only give a seemingly clear but actually vague answer.

"Well... Zicheng, what do you think about this?"

Emperor Chengde was not afraid of Hongqing's request. There was nothing else. As long as there was a request, there was a possibility of compromise. But now Hongqing didn't say anything. Emperor Chengde couldn't help but be very worried. He frowned and thought for a while, but didn't know how to deal with the situation. He had to throw the problem to Li Minquan who was kneeling aside.

"Your Majesty clearly understands it, I think it's okay to just look at it. In addition, as far as I know, Prince Ren has recently repeatedly summoned doctors from the Ministry of Works to discuss the steam locomotives, and perhaps he may start from this matter."

Li Minquan obviously had vaguely guessed Hongqing's plan, but when it came to being sure, he didn't dare to make an assertion easily, so he gave a flickering advice.

"Well..., then let's take a look."

When Li Minquan could not tell the reason, Emperor Chengde couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he had no choice but to speak out helplessly, waved Li and Zhang and others backed away, but he frowned and paced back and forth on the front wall...
