The Ren County Prince's Mansion is a newly-launched house. Although the layout is a unified system for the princes, Hongqing cannot withstand much money. It is naturally much more sophisticated in decoration than other princes. It is full of grandeur and exquisite everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that it is magnificent. It is just because he has just moved in and has not yet been able to sort it out. The whole thing seems quite messy, and there are busy servants everywhere. The only exception is the inner courtyard study room. There is nothing else, because Hongqing, the owner of the royal palace, is sitting in the study room at this time, so no one dares to disturb him.

The sunset was setting, and it was already dusk. The light was not lit in the study room, and the light was a little dim. However, Hongqing didn't care. She frowned slightly and sat behind the copywriter, her fingers unconsciously hitting the table. There was a light flashing in her eyes from time to time. It was obvious that she was thinking a little out of mind. There was no doubt that there was only one problem that could make Hongqing so troubled, that was the case in the Tianzhu of the Ministry of Justice. Although the imperial edict had not been officially issued, Hongqing had already passed the secret investigation order.

After reaching Xiaochuanzi Hutong, there are some related news, but there are almost no useful clues. Of course, this is no wonder "sharp knife". After all, the investigation takes time and also requires a certain amount of luck, so it is naturally impossible to achieve it overnight. However, what Hongqing lacks now is time. If the case cannot be settled in a short time, the impact will be enough for Hongqing to drink a pot, not to mention that once the sixteenth brother is squeezed out of the Ministry of Justice, the consequences will be even more unbearable.

"Report to the prince, Rongzhu, the prefect of Shuntian, Lord Rong is asking for a visit outside the mansion."

Just as Hongqing was thinking, amid a whisper of footsteps, Li Minxing hurriedly turned out from behind the screen, carefully approached Hongqing, and reported in a low voice.

"Well, I will go to welcome you in person."

When Rong Zhu arrived, Hongqing's originally frowning brows suddenly became even more tight. After thinking silently for a while, she stood up, gave a plain command, then raised her foot and left the study room, headed straight towards the door of the mansion...

Outside the gate of the palace, in front of the brand new screen wall, an old man dressed in first-rank civil servant costume was looking at the gate of the palace in a restless manner, his eyes full of worry and confusion. This man was the new head of the Shuntian Prefecture Rongzhu. Usually, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is only a third-rank official, but Rongzhu is different. He is a special official with the title of Shangshu, and his official rank is as high as the first-rank official. Speaking of which, he is one of the best ministers in the court. However, at the gate of the palace as deep as the sea, this identity does not give Rongzhu any psychological advantages. If you should wait honestly.

To be honest, Rong Zhu was not very willing to be a prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Even if he had been promoted to Beijing this time, he was one level higher than the former governor who had been given the title of Minister of War, but his freedom was obviously much worse. There was no other side. The ground of the capital was deep and the sea of ​​dignitaries was gone. Just a first-rank official was not very extravagant to cover up people. He had to take care of many things. If he was not careful, he might make trouble. Now, something happened to the other end of the Tianzhu, and even Rong Zhu was not at ease. After thinking about it for an afternoon, he was still a little unrestrained. He was still a little unrestrained in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and find Hongqing's mansion.

"Sir, please see the prince!"

Rong Zhu was worried about gains and losses, and suddenly saw Hongqing coming out of the gate in person. He was shocked and did not dare to neglect it. He quickly snatched it up and bowed respectfully and asked for peace.

"Old Rong doesn't have to be polite to Xiao Wang. Come and sit in the mansion."

Before Rong Zhu's courtesy was finished, Hongqing had already greeted him with a smile. Xuxu raised his hand and stopped Rong Zhu's gift. He turned sideways intimately, and said warmly.

"Prince, please!"

Seeing Hongqing so politely, Rong Zhu felt a little relieved after seeing that he was so polite and polite. He hurriedly took a short step back and gave in a respectful and polite sentence.

"Yeah, OK."

Hongqing nodded with a smile, and did not make any more politeness. She turned around and went to the mansion. When she saw this, Rong Zhu hurriedly followed a little behind. The guest and the guest were chatting casually. They walked all the way to the study room of the inner courtyard. The guest and the guest and the host and the guest and the host and the guest and the host and the guest and the host were seated. The servants quickly served the newly brewed incense tea and retreated, leaving the guest and the host and the guest and the host and the guest and the host and the guests sat opposite each other through several sons.

"It's the first time Mr. Rong has come to Xiaowang's mansion. Haha, Xiaowang has just moved, everything is still simple and hello is not good enough. Please forgive me."

Hongqing welcomed Rongzhu's entry into Beijing. Although Hongqing did not meet with him in private after entering Beijing, he often expressed his welcome to Rongzhu through his son Mu Ning. It was because Rongzhu's appointment had extremely important significance for Prince Cheng's Mansion, that is, to curb Longkodo - the Tong family was too close to the Eighth Master, and Longkodo, as the admiral of the Nine Gate, has always been kind to the Fourth Master. Obviously, for Prince Cheng's organization, it is

There was a great threat and trouble, and after counting the various yamen on the ground in the capital, the only one who can compete with the Nine Gate Admiral's Office was the Shuntian Mansion. Obviously, the old man brought Rong Zhu into the capital to take into account the balance. This balance is naturally a good thing for Prince Cheng. As for Hong Qing, it is the biggest beneficiary. Because of this, although his mood is not very good at this time, Hong Qing still showed the greatest sincerity in front of Rong Zhu.

"Your Majesty is polite. I suddenly entered Beijing. The ground is not familiar and I am always exhausted. I have not come early to pay my respects. I am not supposed to come here to pay my respects. I am here this time, but I am here again. I am really ashamed of being unbearable."

Although he played alone in the study, Rongzhu obviously couldn't let go and apologized first with a slightly red face.

"Old Rong must not say this. The background of the Tianzhu case is complicated. Old Rong is just a disaster. Xiao Wang has his own opinions on this matter. Mr Rong, please relax."

Although Lao Sixteen has a great role in the Ministry of Justice, it is not as good as Shuntian Mansion where Rong Zhu stays. It is probably because Lao Sixteen went to the Ministry of Justice just to mix sand. It is not a simple matter to dig out the foundation of the Eighth Master, and it may even be difficult to achieve it. Therefore, if someone really wants to make sacrifices, Hong Qing will only choose Lao Sixteen without hesitation. This has nothing to do with emotional closeness and distance, but only a choice of collective interests. It is precisely because of this consideration that Hong Qing naturally gave Rong Zhu a clear reply and guarantee without hesitation.

"Prince, I'm old..."

When he heard Hongqing's statement, Rongzhu raised his head in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment. Since he learned that the Tianzhu case broke out, Rongzhu has been worried that he would become a scapegoat. Is the reason? It's very simple, and he is not close to him. Although Rongzhu and Hongqing have always had a good relationship, it is obviously much worse than Lao Sixteen. If both must sacrifice one person, Rongzhu thought he could not escape this disaster. The reason why he came to find Hongqing was that he didn't think that Hongqing would help him, but he just wanted to get some compensation, but he didn't expect that Hongqing would give such a guarantee. His heart trembled wildly and he was stunned on the spot.

"Old Rong doesn't have any worries, just do it with peace of mind. Huangmafa respects Mr Rong very much. This time he specially sent you from Henan to hope that you can appease the ground of the capital, but to eliminate the security of the capital, Mr Rong will be considered the most meritorious minister."

Hongqing's smart personal can easily guess Rongzhu's psychological changes, but he did not say it out loud, but instead spoke gently to it, and there was a clear meaning of suggestion in his words.

"Please rest assured, the emperor dare not let His Majesty down, and it will never cause the capital's security to be deteriorated!"

Rong Zhu was a veteran of the officialdom. He was frightened and did not last long. He had come back to his senses in an instant. After a little thought, he understood the hint in Hongqing's words. His face immediately became solemn and he made a promise with confidence, especially the word "public security" was emphasized to show his understanding. The security of the capital was said to be multi-headed management. Shuntian Prefecture and the Nine Gate Admiral's Office both had jurisdiction and had many intersections between them. However, in the past, the Nine Gate Admiral (First-rank) had heavy authority, and all the big and small matters were suppressed by Shuntian Prefecture. Now, Rong Zhu was also a first-rank official. His position in the court was not even under the Nine Gate Admiral Longkodo. He also held the troops of the third battalion. He really wanted to compete with each other. Although it was still a little worse, he was not powerless.

"Well, it's good that Mr. Rong can have this intention. Xiao Wang can trust you."

Since Rongzhu had expressed his determination, Hongqing had to say some comforting words, which was the meaning of the title, but there was nothing strange about it.

"Your Highness, you are busy, so you really don't dare to disturb me. Here is a copy of the file of Wang Chunlu's husband-killing case, which may be of some help to the prince. Please ask the prince to take a look."

Rong Zhu's biggest worry is gone, and he is in a good mood, but he doesn't dare to stay for too long, just because he knows that Hong Qing is under great pressure and has a lot of things to do. It is not easy to squeeze out time to meet him specifically. If he wants to make more trouble, he would be too uninterested. So he quickly got up and resigned. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to leave a copy of the file of Wang Chunlu's case.

"Old Rong is intent, Xiao Wang thanked me first. I haven't had a new house today and it's really inconvenient. I won't keep Rong Lao anymore. In the future, Xiao Wang will be a host and have fun with Mr Rong for the last time."
