Zhang Ying laughed immediately after hearing this.
No wonder Jin Yiwei didn't notice him leaving the house these days.
There must be an ulterior secret in this person.
"Are you suspicious of Ji Zheng?" Gu Yue asked.
"Not a suspicion."
"This matter is directly related to him."
"Because the national treasury is tight, there is no news that funds can be released."
"It came from his mouth." Zhang Ying said.
At this time, a Jin Yiwei came in and whispered a few words in Zhang Ying's ear.
Then Zhang Ying nodded.
"Master Gu, the situation has progressed."
"The two people who were about to escape just now have confessed to Ji Zheng." Zhang Ying told Gu Yue the news.
When Gu Yue heard this, he took a deep breath.
From beginning to end, such a huge sum of money disappeared without even noticing it.
Therefore, I have an unshirkable responsibility.
"I see."
"I will go to Tai Chi Hall now to apologize to His Majesty." Gu Yue took off the black gauze hat on his head and said.
"Not urgent."
"When we catch Ji Zheng and interrogate him, it won't be too late for you to plead guilty."
"As long as you are not behind the scenes, I believe your Majesty will give you a lenient sentence."
"At least you can save your life."
Zhang Ying reminded him and then waved his hand.
All the Jin Yiwei withdrew from the household department and headed towards Ji Zheng's home.
In this way, Zhang Ying rushed to Ji Zheng's mansion with his royal guards.
The guard at the door was shocked when he saw so many Jinyi guards coming here.
So he immediately turned around and wanted to go and report the news.
But the next moment, the guard suddenly felt a huge force coming from him, and his body flew out uncontrollably.
It turned out that Zhang Ying saw him going to report the news and directly dragged him back.
"Don't even move!"
"Anyone who dares to make a sound will be shot to death!" Zhang Ying threatened in a low voice.
Several Jinyi guards controlled these guards.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ying and the remaining Jin Yiwei entered Ji Zheng's mansion.
"Search!"
Zhang Ying waved his hand, and all the Jinyi guards rushed into the room immediately.
The next moment, everyone's eyes widened.
Ji is sitting in front of a large table.
On the table is a mountain of silver coins and a large number of banknotes.
Seeing so many Jinyi guards rushing in, Ji Zheng was immediately frightened out of his wits.
"Hmph, Ji Zheng."
"You are so brave, you dare to embezzle money from the national treasury."
"Arrest him, put him in jail, and torture him severely!" Zhang Ying immediately ordered.
He didn't listen to Ji Zheng's frantic begging for mercy.
"I will report to Commander Di and His Majesty that you imprison him in imperial prison."
Zhang Ying ordered.
Then, everyone left Ji Zheng's mansion.
Suddenly, a sound cut through the air.
The next moment, Ji Zheng fell to the ground.
Zhang Ying looked back and saw a delicate dart stuck in Ji Zheng's neck.
At this time, Ji Zheng had lost his breath and had no life left at all.
"Chase!"
Zhang Ying immediately ordered people to hunt down the assassin.
Then looking at the dead Ji Zheng on the ground, he felt annoyed.
He slowly squatted down and pulled out the dart from Ji Zheng's neck.
Darts are delicate and small, but very sharp.
There was also a green-purple light on it, which looked like it was quenched with poison.
"You send Ji Zheng's body back to Beizhen Fusi." Zhang Ying said to the Jin Yiwei behind him.
Then he went to Tai Chi Hall by himself.
…
"Assassinated?"
In the Taiji Hall, Jiang Qiulu was shocked when he learned the news.
"Do you know who carried out the assassination?" Di Yunhao asked.
"Your Majesty, my lord, the commander."
"My subordinates have sent people to search for the assassin."
"Ji Zheng's body was also transported back to Beizhen Fusi." Zhang Ying said.
Jiang Qiulu frowned, raised his hand and rubbed his head.
"The clue is broken." After a while, Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, please look at this."
Then Zhang Ying took out the poison dart he had just obtained.
"These are the darts used by assassins, and they are quenched with poison."
"Ji Zheng died on the spot after being hit."
"My subordinates also found a large amount of silver coins and banknotes in Ji Zheng's mansion."
"People from the Ministry of Revenue have been asked to take it back." Zhang Ying reported.
Jiang Qiulu sighed.
"Tell them there's no need to chase."
"This man has extraordinary skills. Even if he is found, the brothers of Zhenfusi will die in vain." Jiang Qiulu said.
Zhang Ying took the order and left.
Looking at the poison dart in his hand, Jiang Qiulu felt extremely depressed.
"Commander Di, can you tell whose weapon this is?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
"Your Majesty, I have never seen this style of poison dart before." Di Yunhao replied.
Suddenly, Jiang Qiulu seemed to remember something.
"Is Zhongli still in Prince Yong's Mansion?" Jiang Qiulu asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, Zhongli has been staying at Prince Yong's Mansion and has never come out."
"We from the Zhenfu Division have been observing secretly." Di Yunhao said.
"That's weird."
"Is there anyone else in the palace who can be assassinated so easily?"
"Your Majesty, now that the clues have been cut off, I think we should check Ji Zheng's home."
"Let's see if there are any clues."
Jiang Qiulu sighed.
"That's all we have to do."
Jiang Qiulu had no other option and asked Di Yunhao to investigate.
In Fusi, Beizhen.
Zhang Ying finished all the work and slumped down on the chair.
He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of water.
"Report!"
A royal guard came.
"Your Excellency, the Governor of Zhenfu, Shen Liancheng, Minister of Dali Temple, and Chen Jingming, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, are here to ask for an audience," Jin Yiwei said.
"What are they here for?"
"Are you here to ask for someone again?" Zhang Ying asked.
"This... I don't know," Jin Yiwei replied.
"Let them in."
"promise!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Jingming and Shen Liancheng were brought in.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Ying asked angrily when he saw the two of them.
Last time, Zhang Ying and Guo Xiaosen and these two people had already formed a feud.
During this meeting, Zhang Ying didn't give them any face.
"I heard that Ji Zheng embezzled money from the treasury."
"As the head of the legal department of the Great Xia Dynasty, we have the right to intervene in this matter."
"Where is Ji Zhengren now?" Shen Liancheng asked directly.
Zhang Ying sneered.
"Shen Liancheng, you came at the right time."
"It's not that I don't let you see him."
"But even if you see him, you can't interrogate him." Zhang Ying said.
"Why?"
"Why? Don't you know?" Zhang Ying threw the question back.
"Ji Zheng has been assassinated. How do you interrogate him?"
"On the contrary, Ji Zheng's body is still here." Zhang Ying said.
But the next moment Shen Liancheng's speech completely overturned Zhang Ying's understanding.
"Well, Zhang Ying, we haven't arrived yet."
"You, Beizhen Fusi, will use lynching to kill people."
"Do you know what your responsibility is?"
