"Hu Ganying, the left envoy of the Chayi Guards, Wang Zuo, the magistrate of Tianshui City East, and I heard that there are two senior officials from the Ministry of War. I am not sure of their names yet."

He Lingchuan was surprised: "What do you mean?"

"The Tingwei captured them and locked them up in a prison for interrogation. So far, no one has figured out their charges."

Zhao Song only knew one thing: Tingwei was also acting on the orders of King Yao, no doubt.

"Are these officials related to each other in some way?"

Zhao Song shook his head: "I don't know."

He has been in the court for many years, and he knows that gossip must be measured. Some words can be said casually, but some words must not be speculated on, otherwise it will be a trivial matter to lose one's official position.

He Lingchuan had been hanging out in Tianshui City for so long, and after entering the palace for a few days, he became more and more familiar with King Yao's temper.

Tianshui City is experiencing a troubled period these days: project projects are not working well, food prices are skyrocketing, refugees are starting to cause trouble, and Luodian in the north is frequently harassing the border... Also, King Yao in the deep palace may have just realized Qingyang's plan.

deal with him.

Which of the above things did those ministers commit?

At night, another news came.

Bao Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, was taken away by Tingwei and died of poisoning on the way to prison; Wu Xianlong, the minister of war, fled and his whereabouts are unknown.

These incidents caused an uproar in Yaoting. People everywhere were talking about what these high-ranking officials had committed.

Before King Yao had time to speak frankly, a piece of bad news came first:

A fire broke out in the kiln!
