The prefect of Jingzhao was drinking tea. He heard this and stood up with a teacup. The tea in the teacup was swayed and sprinkled on his shoes, and he couldn't care.

"Have you confessed?"

Captain Zhang wanted to speak but stopped.

"Say, talk!"

Captain Zhang took out his confession and presented it to the prefect of Jingzhao with his hands, "Master, take a look."

The prefect of Jingzhao put down the teacup, took the confession and read it quickly, and he was shocked.

It turned out that the emperor asked Liu Ying to release smallpox patients for infection!

The prefect of Jingzhao felt a chill on his back.

Isn’t that the same with Captain Zhang!

After hearing the confession of the third prince's entourage, he was completely confused. Why did the emperor do this? The people in the capital are his people. What are the benefits for him to let his people get infected with smallpox?

Chief Zhang didn't understand, and the prefect of Jingzhao didn't understand either. He sat back on the chair, and his first reaction was to tear the confession book in his hand and destroy the man's body. Such a thing must not be spread, and it would cause chaos.

The people in the capital were already in panic, and this was definitely the last straw that overwhelmed them.

"Old, lord!"

The prefect of Jingzhao looked up blankly, met Captain Zhang's gaze, his lips opened, but no sound was made.

He ignored the lives of the people so much that the emperor was no longer worthy of sitting on the dragon throne.

He grabbed the confession in his hand and squeezed out a few words with difficulty, "Prepare the carriage, you can go out with me."

...

The prefect of Jingzhao went to the Duke of Dingguo.

The palace is now headed by Concubine Xiao Xian. The fourth prince is the most suitable. The only prince will be the crown prince. It is best for him to come to Duke Ding to make an idea.

After getting off the carriage, the prefect of Jingzhao took a deep breath and signaled Captain Zhang to knock on the door.

Captain Zhang stepped forward and locked the door knocker three times. An inquiry came from inside, "Who is it?"

"We are asking the Duke for something, please open the door."

grown ups?

The janitor quickly opened the door and saw the official uniform of the Jingzhao Prefecture Prefecture. While asking the other person to run to deliver the message, he welcomed the person in.

After receiving the report, Duke Ding personally welcomed him. Before he could meet each other, the prefect of Jingzhao said, "Can you find a safe place? I have something to say to you?"

Seeing his serious expression, Duke Ding took him to the study.

The housekeeper and Captain Zhang were guarding both sides of the door, one left and one right.

He did not sit down, and the prefect of Jingzhao handed the confession directly to Duke Ding, "Duke Take a look at this."

Duke Ding took it and opened it, but his face changed drastically after reading it.

With someone sharing the burden, the prefect of Jingzhao breathed a little. God knew how many cold sweats he had in the carriage that came.

"What should I do if the Duke of the State thinks I should do?"

Duke Ding stuffed the confession back into his hand and pushed him out, "Sir, you haven't been here today, and I haven't seen you."

The prefect of Jingzhao held a corner of the table, "Dude, if you don't give me any advice, I will stay in your mansion and not leave."

"you……"

The blue veins on Duke Dingguo's forehead leaped straight.

The prefect of Jingzhao also knew that he was not doing anything. But he really had no choice. If the emperor woke up and knew about this, he would not even be able to save his life.

He bowed to Duke Ding repeatedly, "Duke, please help me. My family has more than 300 children. Whether you can save your life depends on you."

"you……"

Seeing that the Duke of Dingguo had loosened, the prefect of Jingzhao bowed faster.

Duke Ding had no choice but to take a deep breath, "Sit down first!"

The prefect of Jingzhao sat down quickly.

The blue veins on Ding Guogong's forehead jumped again, and he simply walked back and forth in the house. After walking for more than ten times, he stopped and looked at the prefect of Jingzhao, "This matter needs to be further confirmed before we can take the next step."

“The prince means…”

"You must catch Liu Ying first. If he confesses, you can gather the six ministers and the people from the cabinet together and show them."

The prefect of Jingzhao lit up his eyes. Yes, if everyone knew about it, even if the emperor woke up, he would not be able to cut off all of them, right? His head would naturally hug him.

Then he was frustrated again, "I have sent someone to search for it for a day, but I haven't seen Liu Ying. I suspect he has left the city long ago."

"No, if he really left the city, he would not leave the third prince's entourage in the city. He would definitely be hiding somewhere. The prefect still asked someone to search carefully."

"Where does the Duke think he will hide?"

The prefect of Jingzhao was full of hope.

Duke Ding stroked his beard and said after a while, "The more dangerous the place is, the safer the place. The prefect may as well go to the Liu family to search again."

"The prince means he hides it at home, but it hides it too tightly. I haven't found it?"

“There is this possibility.”

The prefect of Jingzhao stood up immediately and bowed to Duke Ding to the end, "If you can really catch Liu Ying, Duke Guo will be mine..."

"You and I don't need to say those polite words, it's important to catch the person first."

The prefect of Jingzhao returned to the yamen and asked Captain Zhang to summon all the yamen runners, and he took them to the Liu family in person.

Commander Sun is here too.

I was surprised to see him, "Why did the prefect come in person?"

The prefect of Jingzhao said to him, "Every family and family are closed, and restaurants are closed. Liu Ying has no place to go, so he can only hide at home. Commander Sun will send some people to the Liu family and make it airtight. I will ask Captain Zhang to take people in and search again, and don't even let the mouse hole go."

Commander Sun transferred another 200 people over, and one hundred people stayed outside to surround the Liu family even more closely.

One hundred people followed Captain Zhang in and searched people.

Liu Ying was full and was about to take a nap when he heard the movement, he suddenly stood up. Before he could walk out, the housekeeper ran to the door with a pale face and reported, "Master, the people from Jingzhao Mansion have broken in!"

Liu Ying subconsciously walked out, but was grabbed by Mrs. Liu and pointed at the bed, "Master hides it in first, I'll deal with it."

Liu Ying took the sword at the head of the bed and hid it under the bed.

Mrs. Liu wanted to pretend to be sleeping, but she thought that doing this would be too obvious and would be seen by others, so she simply sat at the table and started crying quietly.

Captain Zhang stepped into the gate of the main courtyard with his men, and heard Mrs. Liu's hoarse crying, paused, and then walked into the courtyard and clamored, "We are ordered to search again and ask the people in the house to come out."

The crying in the room stopped and then he cried louder.

Captain Zhang said it again, but Mrs. Liu didn't listen at all.

Captain Zhang became impatient and rushed in with the man.

Mrs. Liu screamed in fear, and when she got up, she turned over the table, "You, you..."

"search!"

Mrs. Liu cried even louder, but her eyes moved with the movements of the yamen runners. When she saw Captain Zhang searching the bedside, her heart raised.
