"Your Majesty, Governor Li lives in the northern area of the outer city.”
The Great Han General said with a hint of admiration on his face.
To put it bluntly, the Great Han General was from the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He had obtained the information through their Embroidered Uniform Guards.
He was extremely impressed that Li Changsheng, a Rank-4 Guardian, actually lived in the northern area of the outer city, which was known as the slums in the capital.
All the officials in the court looked doubtful. They could accept that Li Changsheng lived in the eastern area of the outer city, but they would never believe that Li Changsheng lived in the northern area of the outer city.
Although Li Changsheng had just inherited the position of a Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he had been promoted to the position of the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'Guardian.
However, his ancestors were from the Jinyiwei. Even if he didn't earn money, his ancestors didn't earn money either?
There was such a weirdo in the Embroidered Uniform Guards?
No matter what, the officials would never believe it.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How can a dignified Embroidered Uniform Guards 'fourth rank Guardian, and the Guardian of the North Guardian Division, live in the northern region of the outer city?”
Minister of War Xie Qian couldn't help but say.
"Why not? Can't the Brocade Guard have loyal and upright people?”
Hearing Xie Qian's words, Zhu Houzhao directly rebuked him.
“……”
Minister of War Xie Qian's face turned ashen. This was the first time Zhu Houzhao had contradicted him since he ascended the throne.
Liu Jian narrowed his eyes, thinking about something.
The Minister of Rites, Li Dongyang, shook his head at Xie Qian.
"You don't have to be afraid in front of me, just be honest and say it. Tell me, why is Li Qing living in the northern area of the outer city?”
Zhu Houzhao looked at the general and said.
His heart was filled with curiosity. However, when he saw Li Changsheng's information, it said that his ancestors were all Embroidered Uniform Guards and that he was a loyal and upright person. On a whim, he appointed him as the Northern Garrison Commissioner of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He did not know that Li Changsheng would actually live in the northern area of the outer city.
Initially, he thought that even if Li Changsheng did not move into the inner city, he would still be living in the eastern district of the outer city.
This caused him to have a good impression of Li Changsheng, from Li Changsheng to Li Qing.
"Your Majesty, according to the information of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Li Zhenfu's ancestors lived in the northern area of the outer city and never moved to other places.”
"Moreover, there are no other residences under Governor Li's name.”
"Every time I go off duty, I will return to the northern area of the outer city. Today, it is because Envoy Li needs to cultivate in seclusion that he did not go to the Northern Town Office to be on duty.”
The Great Han General deliberated for a moment and said to Zhu Houzhao with a serious expression.
"Men, prepare a carriage. Prepare a carriage for the civil and military officials as well. Let's take a look at Li Qing's house.”
Zhu Houzhao said decisively.
At this moment, all the officials had an ominous feeling. Although they looked down on the Brocade Guard, they knew the intelligence capabilities of the Brocade Guard. The information they had gathered was the same. It seemed that Li Changsheng's ancestors really lived in the northern area of the outer city. Moreover, Li Changsheng did not have any residence under his name.
Now, he hoped that Li Changsheng had not moved in time and was not really immune to the fishy smell.
Hearing this, Liu Jin quickly made the arrangements.
In just a short while, carriages had already arrived.
Zhu Houzhao was the first to board the first carriage.
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had boarded the carriage, the officials exchanged a glance and followed suit.
Under the protection of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the carriages were already heading towards the gates of the Imperial City.
After the time for an incense stick to burn, the carriages stopped.
"Your Majesty, we've arrived at the door of Governor Li's house.”
Liu Jin, who was sitting in front of the carriage, said respectfully.
Upon hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao had already lifted the curtain. He saw a classically decorated, elegant, and wealthy house at a glance.
Zhu Houzhao looked over and felt like he couldn't see the end.
This tall courtyard occupied an area of at least a hundred acres.
For a moment, Zhu Houzhao was actually a little flustered and lacked confidence.
He had always thought that the Li Changsheng he had promoted was definitely not a corrupt person.
After all, according to the information of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Li Changsheng was a loyal and upright person. How could a loyal and upright person do something corrupt?
In addition, he saw that Li Changsheng was about the same age as him. On a whim, he promoted Li Changsheng, who had only inherited the position of Centurion of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, to the position of the Northern Town Governor.
"Tsk tsk, it is really unexpected. There is actually such a magnificent and luxurious residence in the northern region of the outer city. Such a residence should only exist in the inner city, right?”
"Li Changsheng, this Embroidered Uniform Guard's Northern Garrison Governor, is quite playful. He built such a prestigious and wealthy family in the northern area of the outer city.”
"People who don't know would think that he's very honest and upright. Is this the legendary Great Hidden in the City?”
Xie Qian, the Minister of War, got off the carriage. He couldn't help but smile when he saw such a grand and wealthy family.
Although he said that, everyone could sense that Xie Qian was mocking Li Changsheng in a sarcastic manner.
The civil and military officials also saw this noble and wealthy family, and all of them had strange expressions on their faces. Who would believe that Li Changsheng, the Imperial Guard's Northern Garrison Commissioner, did not take bribes and pervert the law?
Although, among all the civil and military officials, which one of them didn't live in such a big house?
However, at the very least, they did not hide it. They lived in the inner city area. They were not like Li Changsheng, who had obviously taken a lot of bribes, but he hid in the northern part of the outer city, which was known as the slums. He had built a large house in the slums.
To build such a big house in the northern part of the outer city, which was known as the slum, and there were no other families around, it really felt like a big city. Under normal circumstances, who would have thought that there would be such a big house and such a luxurious family in such a slum?
Zhu Houzhao's face darkened when he heard Xie Qian's words. He regretted bringing all the officials to Li Changsheng's house. Now, he had been humiliated by Li Changsheng, the governor of the North Garrison.
Even if they exterminated Li Changsheng's family, it would not make up for this.
However, Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind. This damned Li Changsheng dared to betray his trust. He must throw him into the imperial prison and choose a day to be executed by a thousand cuts to appease the hatred in his heart!
"Cough cough, Your Majesty, sirs, you're mistaken. This isn't the residence of Governor Li.”
Liu Jin coughed and tried to hold back his laughter.
