Early the next morning, Song Wuya didn't intend to talk about yesterday's incident at the court.
But what they didn't expect was that the emperor took the initiative to ask.
"Song Aiqing, I heard that you arrested quite a few people yesterday! I heard that all these people threw their things on the street in the middle of the night. Could there be such a thing?"
Song Wuya could only nod when the emperor brought up a matter that he didn't intend to say at first.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. It's just some thieves, who don't know who took money, and then did such a thing. I have already dealt with them, and I think there will be no such thing in the future. Something happened, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Oh! That's good. But I also heard that Zhu Aiqing was involved in this matter. I don't know if Zhu Aiqing knows about this matter?" The emperor seemed to want to use this matter to tease Zhu Yuanlong. Wu Ya didn't even open his mouth to say this, but he took the initiative to ask Zhu Yuanlong.
When Zhu Yuanlong was asked by the emperor, he nodded without hesitation and said: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I have heard about it. But I don't know why they say that I ordered them to do this. I don't know if Master Song knows!"
He was very smart, the reason why the emperor asked this question was simply because he wanted him to have an explanation on this matter.
"Mr. Zhu, it's hard for me to be an official. I originally dragged them out to parade in the streets because of the complaints of the people in the capital. Who would have thought that they said that this matter was instigated by Master Zhu?" ?" Song Wuya immediately smiled and shook his head, expressing that he was also very puzzled by this matter. "The lower officials didn't take their words seriously either. After all, they were empty words. They had no evidence to directly prove it. Naturally, the lower officials would not take it seriously. Please rest assured, my lord, that the lower officials have already done so because of this matter. And punish them well!"
"That's good, but I think I will become a villain in the hearts of the people in the capital." Zhu Yuanlong nodded and said coldly.
"My lord, there is nothing my subordinates can do about this matter. If I had known this, my subordinates would not have allowed them to parade in the streets. In this way, they would not have any chance to say anything wrong about Mr. Zhu." Song Wuya said indifferently. Said.
After the two of them finished talking, no one was too much arguing about this matter.After all, no one would take advantage of this matter, even Song Wuya couldn't tell he was ugly.
After hearing what the two said, the emperor immediately waved his hands and said, "Zhu Aiqing doesn't have to worry about this matter. Since Song Aiqing has already said that this is their nonsense. Presumably the people in the capital will understand this truth soon, and there is no need to worry about it." It won't be long before they forget it. Let's talk about the business first, I wonder if you have any important things to tell me today?"
After the emperor said this, Song Wuya and Zhu Yuanlong did not continue to talk about this matter.And all the officials also explained to the emperor what happened in various places and the important things that were reported to the court.
After the morning court, Zhu Yuanlong walked last.Originally, Song Wuya was still waiting for him to come over and say something to himself.Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanlong didn't look for him at all, as if he didn't care about the previous incident at all.
Both of them knew very well what was going on with this matter.Presumably Zhu Yuanlong didn't come to Song Wuya because he knew that Song Wuya let these people speak out about him in front of the people, and he couldn't produce any evidence that Song Wuya did it on purpose, but There is nothing you can do.
"Today is really happy!"
Back home, Song Wuya couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong with you recently?" Seeing Song Wuya's happy expression, Situ Wen couldn't help but said, "Isn't your mood changing too quickly? Seeing how happy you are, could it be that the Holy One brought you Bai Zhuo back again?" news?"
"Oh! That's not true, it's just that at the morning court today, the Holy Majesty took the initiative to bring up this matter that I didn't plan to talk about." Song Wuya said with a smile: "Wen'er, that Zhu Yuanlong's expression was not good at that time. It's not good-looking! Although he is very indifferent, I can see that he is very angry about this matter."
"What's there to be happy about? It's a harmless thing, even if it can be proved that he did it, do you think the Holy One can punish him for this kind of thing?" Situ Wen said disapprovingly.
From her point of view, this was nothing at all.
Song Wuya, who was originally happy, couldn't be happier after hearing Situ Wen's words.
"Hey! Wen'er, what are you talking about. I am in such a good mood, you have lost interest by saying such a thing." Song Wuya couldn't help complaining, and shook his head.
"All right, all right, it's my fault. When you're happy in the future, I won't bother you. Let's eat first, it's already prepared for you." Situ Wen followed Song Wuya's words. His heart said a word.After the two sat down, Situ Wen asked again: "Didn't you ask the holy majesty when Bai Zhuo will come back? Half a month has passed, and I don't know how Bai Zhuo's injury is recovering." And when are they going to come back!"
"This matter is not in a hurry. After all, Brother Bai was injured, and he won't be able to recover in a month or two. Now I try to keep as little contact with the Holy One as possible, lest the officials feel that we are plotting something , when the time comes, those who have nothing to do will find trouble for me." Song Wuya didn't want to make any more trouble at this time. "Now I'm putting all my focus on official duties. While nothing is happening now, I'll go through all the previous files first to see if there are any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, and try my best to help the people in the capital during this time." Do more."

Chapter 878 Assassination
"You, finally figured out what's important." Seeing Song Wuya say that, Situ Wen gave him a blank look and said.
"Look at what you said, isn't what I did before also important?" Song Wuya said helplessly.
"My lord, something serious happened."
Song Wuya, who had just picked up the chopsticks, hadn't even taken a bite when a guard suddenly came over and said something to Song Wuya in a panic.
"What's the big deal?" Seeing the guard's expression, Song Wuya knew very well that this matter was definitely a big deal.
"Master Zhou was assassinated on his way down!" the guard frowned and said.
"Master Zhou? Which Master Zhou?" Song Wuya frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help being shocked.
"Master Zhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of War!" the imperial guard said hastily.
"What? A first-rank official of the imperial court was assassinated in the street!" Song Wuya couldn't help exclaiming after hearing this person.
That is a majestic first-rank official of the imperial court. It is too scary to be assassinated as soon as he is assassinated.
"Go, go and see now."
"Stop eating?" Situ Wen hurriedly yelled when she saw Song Wuya put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and walked out.
Song Wuya didn't turn his head back and said, "Where is the mood to eat now!"
Throwing down such a sentence, Song Wuya followed the guard and went to the outside of the government office.
The imperial guards had already assembled, waiting for Song Wuya to come.
Master Zhou, Minister of War, Song Wuya also knew about it.Although they didn't have much contact with each other, Song Wuya also knew him above the court.This Mr. Zhou and Zhu Yuanlong are not in the same group, in Song Wuya's opinion, he is at least a person who can be handed over.What people didn't expect was that such a bad news came today.
Even without time to prepare the sedan chair, Song Wuya and the guards headed towards the place where the incident happened on foot.
The place where the accident happened was in the north of the city, which is the place many officials must pass through to go home.
Not long after, Song Wuya and his party arrived at the place where the incident happened.
"Did anyone be caught?"
Long before Song Wuya came, someone had already notified the government, and the imperial guards also arrived at the scene as quickly as possible and surrounded the scene.
This matter cannot be concealed. It is not too late after the morning court. Although there are not many people here, many people still saw it.
Now around the imperial guards and yamen servants, quite a few people have gathered, looking inside with their toes on their toes.
On the ground in the middle, several corpses were scattered all over the place. They were all the bearers of the sedan chair and the servants of Mr. Zhou.
The sedan chair was already covered with blood, and Mr. Zhou's body was inside the sedan chair.
Song Wuya lifted the car curtain and took a look inside. Master Zhou's body was already covered in blood, and his official uniform was already soaked.There was a hole in his chest, and blood was still flowing out of it.
"Killed with one blow, straight to the center!" Song Wuya frowned as he watched this scene.
He immediately turned around and looked at the dead bearers and servants. Without exception, they were all fatally wounded, and all of them were killed by one blow.
"Yes, judging from the wounds, the perpetrators must not be ordinary people. They are well versed in the way of killing, and they have already made a plan to set up an ambush here, and no one will be left alive once they strike." The leader of the guards also said. Through the on-site inspection, express your own views.
Song Wuya frowned. Originally, he wanted to calm down and check the files carefully, but he didn't expect to encounter such trouble so soon.
"Did anyone witness the scene?"
Naturally, there is no evidence to be found from the scene. The only thing that can be judged is that the perpetrator is definitely not one person, but several people shot together, so that they can all be killed in a short time.
