Zhao Gou frowned. He thought it would be a verbal dispute at most, but he didn't expect Ye Qing to even make a confession. If the confession said it was true, the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple followed up, Shi Hao would not be able to clear the suspicion of the three Japanese people even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

But Shi Hao would never deceive himself and deliberately delayed the time when the Japanese arrived in Lin'an City for a few days.

Therefore, the strange thing about this matter must be the confession in his own hands. It is not important to be a slander or a frame-up. What is important is that with this confession, he can also excuse Ye Qing in front of Shi Hao.

He held the confession silently, looked at Ye Qing who was still kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly and asked Ye Qing to get up first, and then he began to read the confession.

The confession is a unique writing form of the Book Office, which proves that everything is handled according to the process, but the content in it is... Zhao Gou smiled bitterly, and this confession did not even think about how to truly convict the Japanese.

The lines are completely blatant, just written on it to explain that this is a confession of frame-up and a slander.

He put down the confession in his hand, looked at Ye Qing who was standing on one side with his head down, and then looked at Shi Hao who looked a little curious about the confession in his hand. Just like when he was in office and wanted to make a decision, he habitually patted his knees and said, "There are many undesirable confessions, and there are many loopholes, which is not trustworthy."

"Sage, I believe that this is because Vice President Ye intends to rely on your favor, use his power to seek personal gain, and abuse his power, and use his power to win over the law. To put it bluntly, Vice President Ye is afraid that the relationship between the Sifeng and Xiyu Building is unclear, and he wants to forge a successful career for the Sifeng and Xiyu Building, so he forged the confession that you said is not trustworthy. The Japanese monk arrived three days ago..."

"Yesterday was three days ago, and today should be four days ago." Ye Qing drooped his eyes and looked at his toes to correct Shi Hao and said.

"So what? Even if I arrived four days ago, I was still a while away from the assassination of the Jin envoy. Does Vice Commander Ye think that those Japanese people will fly? Can they fly to Lin'an City and then leave quietly?" Shi Hao turned around and looked at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice.

"The Duke of Wei may not know that the Japanese have a secret technique, which is called ninjutsu. Although they cannot fly to the sky, they are extremely good at makeup and disguise techniques, sneak attacks, assassinations, etc., so... they will not rule out that the three of them can do ninjutsu." Ye Qing was still unmoved and said to look at his toes.

Zhao Gou looked at Ye Qing's look with his head down, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. In the confession in his hand, Japanese ninjutsu were mentioned many times, but it had nothing to do with the three Japanese people. It was Ye Qing's own judgment.

"You...if they were so powerful and had great martial arts skills, how could you be knocked to the ground by you with three punches and two kicks? How can you explain this?" Shi Hao almost stomped his feet and scolded him angrily, but fortunately, he knew that he was not at his house, but in the palace, and he resisted his dissatisfaction.

"It can only mean that the last person is better than the Japanese, and his martial arts are better than those of Japanese people, but those two Jin envoys may not be, so they were assassinated." Ye Qing continued to mess around. This was nothing in itself, it was just nonsense.

He appeared with his confession just to give Zhao Gou an excuse to protect himself, or if Zhao Gou did not protect himself, he would use it as a Japanese man to kill someone and seek evidence of his escape.

But now, Zhao Gou seemed to be very interested in the quarrel between him and Shi Hao, and did not stop Shi Hao and him at all, and let them argue in Deshou Hall. What was the treacherous old guy who was willing to do? Could it be that he was not as tolerant of himself as he imagined?

Looking at Shi Hao who was about to be furious, Zhao Gou finally spoke out to smooth things out: "Okay, OK, Commander Ye believes that the Japanese ninjutsu is very powerful, and it is not considered a favoritism and abuse of power, but it is indeed unreasonable to arrest people before the evidence is conclusive. Let's do this, let people go first, if you have conclusive evidence and then arrest people. As an important official of the Song Dynasty, how could the Duke of Wei protect the murderer?"

"Report to the Supreme Emperor, it's not appropriate to release the person, after all those confessions..."

"The confession can only explain part of it. Moreover, after entering the Imperial City Department, it is difficult to guarantee that the Japanese people were panicked because of fear. You... were not tortured, right?" Zhao Gou said at the end, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

"The wounds of skin and flesh, and the wounds of skin and flesh, will remember the laws of the Song Dynasty. As the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, we must naturally perform our duties and be strict with ourselves. We can only speak with evidence and use punishment to do nothing, but not." Ye Qing shook his head and said.

But whether it was Zhao Gou, Wang Lun or Shi Hao, they all felt that the treatment of the three Japanese people in the Imperial City Department was probably far from what Ye Qing said.

"Tomorrow, I will order you to go to Jingci Temple in person to apologize to the Japanese monks tomorrow! This is not because I give face to the Japanese, but because of the Duke of Wei, I will let you go. If Duke of Wei is not satisfied with your attitude, I will never forgive you." Zhao Gou began to get mixed up with him, and Shi Hao had nothing to say at this time.

It can even be said that since Ye Qing came in, Zhao Gou's attitude had already explained everything. After a while, he did not mention even a word about the right or wrong words about the right or wrong words of the Imperial City Department, nor did he scold Ye Qing for arresting people. He just mentioned this decree to make Ye Qing apologize.

Obviously, this is because of his own face and to comfort him. I am afraid that if it were someone else, Ye Qing would not only be free and easy, but would even attract praise from the emperor.

Then Ye Qing, who has received such kindness, must be the one the emperor relies on now?

Shi Hao's heart was like a mirror in an instant, without feeling frustrated or depressed at all. In his opinion, favor for a moment is nothing, and life will be long in the future, and it is not certain who wins and who loses.

"Yes, I will obey the will." Ye Qing bowed and said.

Shi Hao looked at Ye Qing's appearance, and the cold light flashed in his eyes. He had been living in the court for a long time and had already developed a deep cunning. So after saluting Zhao Gou, he said to Ye Qing: "The three Japanese monks have returned to Lingyin Temple now. Without guards around me, I still seem stingy in the Song Dynasty, so I hope Commander Ye can release people in time."

"Of course, now the last general can release people, and the Duke of Wei can also send people to recruit people, and ensure that no one will stop him." Ye Qing saluted Shi Hao and said with a kind expression.

"Then thank you, Commander Ye." Shi Hao followed Zhao Gou's holy wish and changed Deputy Commander Ye to Commander Ye without any trace.

As Shi Hao left, Ye Qing was also planning to bow and leave at this time, but Zhao Gou called again: "Accompany me to have a walk."

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor." Ye Qing complained in his heart, what did this old guy want to do, but on the surface he still has to be respectful.

Walking out of Deshou Palace, Ye Qing was one shoulder behind Zhao Gou, while Wang Lun was one shoulder behind Ye Qing. The three of them lined up diagonally like swallow wings. They did not walk up the Wanshou Bridge again, but walked slowly along the lush embankment road by the lake.

"The Japanese ninjutsu are really as extraordinary as you say?" Zhao Gou walked a long way before asking lightly, no longer mentioning Ye Qing's capture of Japanese.

"It's not very powerful. In terms of the last general, it's just a group of short Japanese people who can easily lurk with their figures. In addition, ninjutsu mostly borrowed the concepts of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Taigong's Art of War" and other military books. They didn't learn much of the essence, but they just borrowed some dross." Ye Qing said hurriedly.

In fact, it was not just him who believed that in later generations, whether it was ninjutsu or ninja, he was just a loser who was constantly being mythized.

"Then you mentioned it to me and explained it in your confession, it wouldn't be a whim. It seems that you know a lot, right?" Zhao Gou stood in a small West Lake, named the dry boat, and asked at Ye Qing with his back.

"The last general dare not, the last general mentioned it, just want to tell the Supreme Emperor that this trip north will definitely not let down the holy grace. Besides..." Ye Qing felt uneasy. Zhao Gou did promote himself as deputy commander, but it was just his own guess that if he wanted to completely grasp the Imperial City Department, he had to rely on Zhao Gou.

So the following words begin with the Japanese ninjutsu, which is to tell Zhao Gou that if the Imperial City Secretary wants to be reorganized in the future, lurking in the dark should be a direction of development. Only in this way, if Zhao Gou turns against him one day, he can escape by turning to the Imperial City Secretary in the dark.

"Well... I understand." Zhao Gou nodded suddenly. As the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had experienced many experiences of intrigue and conspiracy. This kind of thing that can only be understood but not expressed in words has happened between him and the court officials.

So after thinking for a while, I understood why Ye Qing mentioned Japanese ninjutsu in his confession, the so-called sneak attack, assassination, lurking, hunting, etc.

"What I can give you does not mean that you can use it. Some things have to rely on yourself, right? You have only been the deputy commander for a few days, and you have made enemies everywhere for me. If you want you... it depends on yourself. The Imperial City Office is qualified, the commander, and the deputy commander are better than you in terms of merit, and they are stronger than you in terms of merit, and have a wide range of connections in the court... So, then again, everything depends on yourself." Zhao Gou sighed and said.

"What the Supreme Emperor said is the most, I will remember it." Ye Qing chuckled twice in his heart. Three Japanese people were tossed by him for a night and involved the Duke of Wei Shi Hao. Such things could make Zhao Gou generously tolerate him. So the matter in the north is really a trick to keep his head on his belt.

And listening to his tone, he didn't mind handing over all the Imperial City to himself, but the prerequisite was that you had to be qualified and you had to make decent achievements.

Of course, this is not the case. Long Dayuan and Lin Guangchao have been in the Imperial City for many years and are not involved with many ministers. So if you, Ye Qing, really cannot achieve any achievements, you might as well start from this direction. I have long seen these commanders and deputy commanders who have done their business with the royal family, but secretly have exchanged interests with court officials.
