Chapter 475 Blood outside the palace gate

After receiving the emperor's order, Duan Xu recalled Li Huaizhi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who was handling a case outside, and asked him to personally lead people to Yushan County to investigate the case.

Just as he walked out of the government office, a patrolman came running hurriedly.

Seeing Li Huaizhi, the patrolman stopped, holding his waist, bowed and reported: "Sir Li... South Gate, go quickly! Someone has filed a lawsuit against the Wang family of Xiangzhou with a blood letter!"

Li Huaizhi's eyebrows jumped. At this time, his subordinates had just brought horses over. He immediately mounted the horse and ordered his subordinates: "I will go first, you bring a team to follow."

After saying that, he ran straight to the city gate.

When Li Huaizhi arrived at the south gate of the imperial city, he saw many people gathered in front of the gate.

He immediately dismounted and shouted, "The Dali Temple is investigating a case. All outsiders, please get out of the way!"

When the people heard that government officials were coming, they all made way for them.

Li Huaizhi walked through the crowd and saw a gray-haired man kneeling at the city gate, holding a piece of white cloth in his hand with something written in blood on it.

The captain of the patrol knew that the matter was not simple, so he asked his men to separate the man from the civilians, and he stood beside him to protect him until the officers and soldiers arrived.

Seeing Li Huaizhi, he immediately came over to salute, "Lord Li, you are finally here. What are you going to do with this man?"

Li Huaizhi raised his hand to signal him not to speak.

Only when he walked in front of the man did Li Huaizhi see clearly the words written on the blood letter.

I, Zhao Xuan, accuse the current emperor of abusing his power by promoting his mother's clan, the Xiangzhou Wang family, so that the Wang family's children, who have nothing, are honored to be in the imperial court. He has allowed the Wang family's children to abuse their power for decades, accept bribes, bully the people, kill innocent people, and embezzle tax silver. Every single one of these is outrageous!

Li Huaizhi was shocked!

This Zhao Xuan actually dared to sue the emperor!

Duan Xu told him the whole story. He didn't expect that Zhao Xuan was so bold and he couldn't help but admire him.

Judging from the fresh bloodstains and the blood on the fingers, it should have been written by Zhao Xuan himself.

Li Huaizhi couldn't help but frown when looking at this hand. Zhao Xuan's fingers were dark, his skin was wrinkled, and there was black dirt under his nails. This didn't look like that of a civil official. Instead, he looked like an old man in his twilight years.

He was very surprised. Since Zhao Xuan was kneeling there and every word written in blood was heartbreaking, why didn't he shout out his accusation? Wouldn't the effect be better this way?

All doubts can only be answered after returning to the Dali Temple and careful interrogation.

"Zhao Xuan, I'm Zhao Huaizhi, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. I've been ordered to investigate the banditry case in Yushan County. If you have any grievances, come back to the Dali Temple with me and tell me!"

After hearing this, Zhao Xuan put down his hands. Because he had held them up for too long, his arms were shaking.

But when he saw the kneeling person, Li Huaizhi asked doubtfully: "Are you really Zhao Xuan?"

According to the background information of Zhao Xuan, he is only 32 years old this year, but the man kneeling facing the imperial city is already white-haired, with wrinkles all over his face, and is skinny. He looks to be at least 50 years old.

"I am Zhao Xuan." As he said this, he reached into his arms and fumbled around, and after a while he handed an old mandarin duck purse to Li Huaizhi.

Li Huaizhi took it and opened it, revealing the official seal and Zhao Xuan's private seal.

After taking a deep look at the man, Li Huaizhi became more and more confused.

This is not a suitable place for interrogation. We have to wait until we return to the Dali Temple to discuss everything.

Han Feng received an order from the emperor to bring Zhao Xuan into the palace. When he slowly arrived, there was no trace of Zhao Xuan outside the palace gate.

Upon learning that it was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who took Zhao Xuan away, Han Feng turned back and reported to the emperor.
