"The Emerald Cloud Residence?" Zhao Jing stared blankly for a long time. What kind of place was the Cloud Jade Residence? Due to his status, Zhao Jing really hadn't been to the capital properly. He was always near the Full Moon Residence, "Where is the Cloud Jade Residence? Wine house? At the teahouse? Or an inn? "

"Neither!" Nangong Zhe bowed, "This subject deserves to die. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

When Zhao Jing saw Nangong Zhe's expression and then Ke Bo Ling's expression, he changed the topic. "Forget it. Why don't you bring up the Emerald Cloud Residence and tell us why you two came here today?" She walked over to the desk and sat down, waiting patiently.

He ignored Nangong Zhe who was struggling to get up from the ground and continued, "This subject came here today to investigate the case of the top scholar Geng Zhong. All these signs indicate that the top scholar was not killed, but rather killed himself."

"He needs to commit suicide. Is it possible that this top scorer ran off to swing under the roof when he had nothing to do after eating so much? If you weren't careful and hung your neck on it, would you have lost your life? " Nangong Zhe burped, "Your majesty, this subject believes that this matter is by no means that simple. As long as a person is killed, he will definitely leave a trace! This subject believes that the top scorer did not commit suicide, but killed him instead! "

"Where is the evidence? Didn't you see the coroner's autopsy book? " Cobalt stood at the side with no expression on his face, but when he looked at Nangong Zhe, his eyes were filled with disdain. What he was most impatient for was these people who had no manners and didn't know the slightest bit of etiquette. It was truly annoying!

Nangong Zhe laughed, "As long as Prime Minister stands still, this evidence will fall into your hands. Do you believe me?"

This fellow was mocking him! However, in front of Zhao Jing, he still straightened his back and ignored him, lest the Emperor think that he was being petty. Everyone was here for this case. There was no need to speak quickly.

"You are not allowed to disrespect me!" Zhao Jing rubbed the center of his brows. "Nangong Zhe, don't think that I don't care about the crime of dishonoring your authority and manners." The prime minister was the head of a hundred officials. How could he be fooled? "Even though you have a gold medal in the Life Extinguishing Medallion, we still have His Majesty. We can't tolerate anyone bullying the Prime Minister!"

Nangong Zhe was originally smiling, but he suddenly choked on his own saliva. He stared at Zhao Jing in disbelief, "The Emperor … His Majesty said this subject bullied the Prime Minister? This subject does not dare to bear such a huge responsibility! "The Prime Minister is the head of a hundred officials. Who would dare to pull their feathers on a tiger's head?!"

"Do you really think that no one dares?" Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "You drunkard, don't you dare?" Do you really think I don't know? The strong wine makes the weak cowardly! "

He turned his head and looked at the silent and feigned calmness. He thought to himself, "It looks like this Ke Bo Ling really has some skills. When the previous emperor was alive, he bewitched the previous emperor, but now, he bewitched the young emperor. The mountains and rivers of Da Xia Empire are all in his hands!" However, even though Nangong Zhe sighed in his heart, he could not do anything about it. He could only blame his parents for not giving him a good look. He was clearly at a disadvantage!

"In the case of the top scholar of the freshmen, I feel that it's not suicide but killing him. Who would commit suicide if the glory and riches were right in front of them?" Are you really full? " Zhao Jing sat up straight. "You two, investigate this case together. Also, investigate the deaths of the two students for me!" "I won't allow anyone to die in the foot of the Son of Heaven without knowing why!"

"Your majesty!" Nangong Zhe bowed, "This subject also feels that this matter should be thoroughly investigated, together with the two scholars. However … This subject's personality is something that the Emperor has seen. This subject fears that I might accidentally bully the Prime Minister, causing the Emperor to be unhappy. "

Zhao Jing pouted, "Nangong Zhe, do you think I'm being selfish? He had come to provoke me by pinching my words! "Do you know that a single sentence from me can turn you, Nangong Zhe, into a Nangong Ghost?"

"This official believes! "I do!" Nangong Zhe laughed shamelessly, "As the saying goes, you have to put it first. Since this subject wants to avenge others, I have to straighten out everything I can think of and say what I should say. Your majesty, do you agree?"

"Stop smiling!" Zhao Jing coughed lightly, "But you're right!"

"This subject also feels that it makes sense!" "Your Majesty, why not let this subject recommend someone to represent this subject and Lord Nangong to handle this case!"

Zhao Jing was somewhat worried. Was Uncle Ke summoning his own people and stuffing them into the four corners of the door? The Four Great Imperial Clans had always been unique and did not form alliances. They did not belong to any faction. Therefore, the late emperor placed great importance on the Four Great Clans. If the Qi Clan members were to join the Four Corners Gate, Zhao Jing would have no idea what kind of disaster would follow. After all, there was a golden medal in the Four Corners Gate that could save him from death! Jun Wu Yi was joking, this thing was not a joke!

Noticing that Zhao Jing seemed to have some doubts, Uncle Ke took the initiative to say, "Reporting to the emperor, this person is not a scholar, but rather comes from Wenchang County. He is one of the two killed scholars, Wen Yufeng's elder brother, Wen Yuye! "This person is quite talented and has great courage. This subject feels that since it's a case involving his younger brother, he will do his best to investigate it. He will definitely not practice favoritism!"

"A blood brother?" Nan Gong Drunken's eyes darkened, "Logically speaking, since the case involves the family, they shouldn't be taken over, this is called avoiding suspicion! The death of a loved one will inevitably cause you to become impatient and eager to solve the case. This will affect your judgement on the case. " He turned around and bowed towards Zhao Jing. "Your Majesty, this subject believes that this person cannot be used!"

"Wen Yuye?" Zhao Jing smacked his lips. "Wen Yufeng's elder brother?"

"Yes sir!" Cobalt saluted calmly, "I think it is feasible!"

Zhao Jing took a deep breath. "Nangong Zhe, I'm afraid you still don't know?" Yufeng and I are friends. Now that he is dead in my capital, how can I just leave him be?] I believe in Wen Yufeng, and naturally, I also believe in Wen Yuye. But believing is believing, ability is another matter. I want to personally see this text Yuye. Someone who could be worthy of the Prime Minister's praise is definitely not an ordinary person. However, hearing is false and seeing is believing! "

Cobb nodded. "This subject understands!"

"You guys go back first. We'll talk after we meet Wen Yuye!" Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back.

"Yes sir!" Both of them bowed to each other. Then, the two of them looked at each other and left without saying a word. Although the relationship between the two of them seemed to have eased up a little, but inside, they were still competing with each other. Neither of them was willing to give up!

After the two of them left, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan hastily entered. "Your majesty?"

"Wen Yuye?" Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "Wen Yufeng's elder brother?" Go find Sir Shi and have him prepare himself properly. Wait for Wen Yu to enter the palace and ask him to help me find out. "Whether this person is real or just an embroidery pillow, we'll just have to wait and see!"

Zhao Yuannan bowed, "Your servant will go now!"

"These two people still don't get along!" Wei Shuge said.

Zhao Jing smiled, but his expression was relaxed and at ease. "When I have the most power, it would be better to have a harmonious group of subjects." But right now, if all the officials are safe and sound, I will … It's hard to sleep! "

Wei Shuge nodded. "That's the truth!" "Then, what does the Emperor intend to do about this case?"

"Let's meet Wen Yuye first!" Zhao Jing paused, "Oh right, let Jinghong find out what kind of place this Cloud Jade Residence is."

"The Emerald Cloud Residence?" Wei Shuge was stunned. "Alright! This servant will go right now! "

Because Zhong Fu was living in the sleeping quarters, Zhao Jing didn't return to the Qian Yuan Palace to prevent any more troubles. He thought to himself that if he didn't eat after dinner, he would send Zhong Fu to the Rising Dawn Hall to rest! Zhong Fu was her savior. During those days in Jiangbei, Zhong Fu had helped her quite a bit. She even planned for him to jump into the river and freeze to death!

As he thought of this, Zhao Jing couldn't help but curl his lips.

When night fell, Zhao Jing emerged from the imperial study. "Bring the dinner to the Qianyuan Palace. I want to have a meal with him!"

"Yes sir!" Wei Shuge bowed.

However, just as Zhao Jing entered the main entrance of the Qian Yuan Palace, he heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind him, followed by the sounds of people bowing. Zhao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stared blankly at Dongfang Wenming, who was standing straight in front of him.

Zhao Jing glanced behind Dongfang Wenming. Other than Zhou Zhiquan, who was following him as usual, he didn't bring a single soldier. It was clear that he wasn't here to capture Zhong Fu. Zhao Jing didn't understand. He didn't want to capture Zhong Fu, so why was the Eastern Scoundrel in such a hurry? On the surface, however, Zhao Jing was still smiling. He hadn't learned anything else in the past two years, but he was extremely proficient in smiling. "Father Zhong, what are you doing?"

"Hungry!" Dongfang Wenming glanced at her, then pulled her hand with a dark expression and walked inside.

The Regent was tugging at the emperor's face. People in the palace had long since gotten used to this. All the servants lowered their heads, and then carefully closed the doors to the palace. The instant the door closed, Zhao Jing felt an indescribable panic in his heart.

At the moment when Dongfang Wenming held Zhao Jing's hand and walked into the palace hall, the joy on Zhong Fu's face instantly vanished. Zhong Fu stiffened his body as his eyes widened. He looked at the two people holding hands in disbelief, "You two … Both of you... Hand in hand? "

"Your Majesty respects this king as your father!" Dongfang Wenming stepped forward and narrowed his eyes. He acted as though he was vowing his sovereignty, looking incomparably reserved, and with a proud aloofness that could not be challenged, "Do you still remember how This King reminded you before? Stay far away from the emperor, or this king will make you regret your decision to enter the palace! " After saying this, Dongfang Wenming led Zhao Jing to the table.

"Don't think you are a regent just because the East is not clear. Hmph, regret. How can you make me regret this? This young noble can become the young master of Phoenix City and my father is named King Zhong Changtian! " Zhong Fu gritted his teeth.

Zhao Jing didn't dare to make a sound. He could only hear Dongfang Wenming speaking to Zhong Fu in an indifferent tone. "Do you really want to stay by the emperor's side?"

"That's right!" Zhong Fu sat next to Zhao Jing, his face filled with provocation as he looked to the east.

Dongfang Wenming wasn't in a hurry. He smiled as he led Zhao Jing to a seat. This laughter sent shivers down Zhao Jing's spine. Suddenly, Zhao Jing suddenly thought of Zhao Yuannan. The situation at that time seemed to be similar to the current one. The East didn't say it was okay to stay, but …

Zhao Jing's heart thumped as he held down Zhong Fu, who was about to speak.

Dongfang Wenming's eyebrows furrowed. It was obvious that he raised them. He stared at the hands of Zhao Jing and Zhong Fu as they crossed each other.
