Chapter 40: Six Hundred Miles Expedited

"Oh, is it? Duan Aiqing, you said that the King of Jiuyuan wronged you, I don't know where he wronged you? ”

Emperor Lu Hua'an, who was on the dragon chair, looked at Duan Long, although he couldn't see the sweat on Duan Long's face, he heard a trace of nervousness from Duan Long's tone.

"Your Majesty, Weichen really doesn't know anything about what the King of Jiuyuan played, and I implore Your Majesty to be the master of Weichen."

Duan Long flatly denied it, he just didn't admit Lu Jiuyuan's crimes, and he was afraid that Lu Jiuyuan would be able to do something to himself, even if the emperor was suspicious, he needed enough evidence, at that time, at most, he would only be suspended, wouldn't he still run away.

It's just that Duan Long didn't know that all of this was in the hands of Lu Jiuyuan and Emperor Lu Huaan, one singing with a white face and the other with a red face, and the purpose was naturally the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Moreover, Lu Jiuyuan felt that Duan Long's identity was very suspicious, and it would be difficult to get the information he wanted from Duan Long's mouth if he was not completely put in prison, so in the compromise, Lu Jiuyuan recorded the crimes that could sentence Duan Long to death.

"King Jiuyuan, Duan Aiqing said that you wronged him, I don't know if you have any evidence to prove whether he was wronged, and let me make a decision."

Emperor Lu Hua'an was in charge of the hundred officials, so he naturally had to balance the relationship between the hundred officials, and if he sent Duan Long to prison without any evidence, it would make the other ministers think more, so Lu Jiuyuan had to have evidence to convict Duan Long.

"Father, do you remember the assassination of your son?"

"Remember, aren't all the assassins ambushed?" Emperor Lu Hua'an was a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Lu Jiuyuan to ask about this, did it have anything to do with Duan Long, but it was impossible to shake his head immediately.

"Father, the Criminal Department is in charge of the laws of the world, and Lord Duan will not know anything about such a big assassination in Qingyu City, and Erchen has never seen any official send to Erchen's residence to check, and Father Emperor doesn't seem to have received a letter from the Criminal Department, I don't know if this is considered a crime of dereliction of duty by Lord Duan?"

The minister didn't expect that Lu Jiuyuan would preconceive and convict Duan Long on the grounds of assassination, and Duan Long didn't expect that Duan Long at that time wanted to find Duan Xing and didn't care about this matter, but he didn't expect that this matter would become a small handle.

"Your Majesty, this matter was negligence on the part of Wechen, and at that time, His Majesty issued an edict, and Wechen thought that His Majesty had dealt with the assassination of King Jiuyuan, so Wechen did not pay attention to this matter."

"Duan Aiqing is right, I gave an edict at that time."

Hearing this, Emperor Lu Huaan also felt that Duan Long was right, if Duan Long said that he didn't know about the assassination of the third prince, he didn't know until the emperor issued an edict that the emperor had no way to take Duan Long, even if it was a crime of dereliction of duty, but it didn't have much impact.

Today's Taihe Hall is the place where Duan Long and Lu Jiuyuan perform, the emperor is at most just an intermediary and the final judge, and the ministers are the audience, they don't want to lose their official positions because of this.

"Oh, since Lord Duan doesn't know about this, then King Ben will take over the matter."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, Duan Long also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and finally took over the matter like this, but what Lu Jiuyuan said next was a huge impact on Duan Long.

"Then I don't know why Lord Duan's wife Li and the housekeeper Duan Fu trespassed into the king's residence, and I don't know what crime should be committed according to Qingyu's law? Lord Duan, what do you say? ”

As soon as Lu Jiuyuan's words fell, the eyes of all the ministers couldn't help but stare at it, in the Qingyu Dynasty, without the consent of the emperor, the emperor's residence should be punished according to the law, and Duan Long's wife and housekeeper should be punished according to the law, and Duan Long's wife and housekeeper should be punished by Lu Jiuyuan's residence, it seems that Duan Long is really finished this time.

"King Jiuyuan, don't wronged the lower official, the lower official's wife and housekeeper are still in the lower official's mansion, I don't know why the King of Nine Abyss said this?"

At this time, Duan Long was not steady, there was a trace of panic, he never dreamed that the Li family would take the housekeeper Duan Fu to Lu Jiuyuan's residence privately, and he also explained to the housekeeper Duan Fu, but Duan Fu didn't seem to listen to Duan Long's words.

Now there is only lying, otherwise when it is really time to punish the three clans, Duan Long will not even have a chance to escape, and he will not dare to think about bringing down Lu Jiuyuan in a game.

"If Lord Duan doesn't believe it, the father can send someone to the residence of his son to bring Lord Duan's wife Li and the housekeeper Duan Fu."

"Gonggong Cao, you find a few people who go to the residence of the King of Nine Abysses and arrest those people that the King of Nine Abyss said."

Looking at Lu Jiuyuan, who was full of words, all the ministers believed it, after all, it was impossible for Lu Jiuyuan to deceive the emperor, and it was a process that had to be followed to let Gonggong Cao send someone to the Yuan Mansion to capture the Li family and Duan Fu.

"Father, it may be difficult to find out about the corruption of the middle section of the son's retribution, but the others can basically be found, the father only needs to arrange a reliable minister to pretend to be an ordinary person, and most places in Qingyu City can be inquired, especially the restaurant."

"There is also the murder of Ling Mukun in Chengxi County, there are witnesses outside the hall, does my father need to ask witnesses."

It is true that Duan Long's corruption is difficult to find, and Duan Long has done it very cleanly, and ordinary people basically can't see any clues, but fortunately, Li Ru will find out most of it, otherwise he can't find out at all by relying on the only Jinyi Wei.

In addition to embezzlement, Duan Long's biggest crime is to shield his son Duan Xing, this kind of thing is easy to investigate, and most of the people of Qingyu City know about it, and Mu Hanxue was also deliberately brought into the palace by Lu Jiuyuan, first, he was worried that something would happen to Mu Hanxue, and second, Mu Hanxue could be used as a witness, but it seemed that he didn't need it.

"Duan Aiqing, what else do you have to say, do you have to do what the King of Jiuyuan said before you are sure to die."

When Lu Jiuyuan said Mu Kun, and then thought of the woman Duan Long behind Lu Jiuyuan when he went to court, he knew that it was Mu Hanxue, and only Mu Hanxue was the only witness, Duan Long knew that he was finished, completely finished, and the layout of the past twenty years was over like this, sitting on the Taihe Hall with no eyes in his eyes.

And when the emperor and the ministers saw this scene, they knew that the crime that Lu Jiuyuan said was true, but it was only so, and they did not intercede for Duan Long.

"Duan Aiqing, don't think that I don't know what you usually do, it's just that I don't want to care, now that the King of Nine Abyss has impeached you, I have to take care of it."

"Duan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, you are corrupt and pervert the law, covering up his son Duan Xing's misdeeds, and his wife Li broke into the residence of the King of Jiuyuan, and his crime should be punished by the nine clans."

"Come on, put the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the entire Duan Mansion on death row, and all their family property will be used as the state treasury."

The emperor has always turned a blind eye to Duan Long, as long as he doesn't do too much, he won't do anything to him, but he has done too much, and Lu Jiuyuan needs the position of the secretary of the criminal department, and he can't help but give it.

In addition, Emperor Lu Huaan did not suspect Duan Long's identity, but there was no good way to get rid of Duan Long, but now that he did, it couldn't be better, and he didn't want to keep his eyes on the entire Qingyu Dynasty.

The ministers watched as Duan Long was dragged out of the hall like this, but asked Lu Jiuyuan before leaving.

"Lu Jiuyuan, I want to know if Xing'er is a ghost you did."

"Yes, if you want to blame Duan Xing, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have committed so many crimes."

"Hahaha! I knew it was so, hahaha! ”

Duan Long's laughter echoed throughout the Taihe Palace, and the ministers didn't know what Duan Long's laughter meant, they just felt that it all came too suddenly.

"Father, since the position of the Criminal Department Shangshu is vacant, whether the Father Emperor wants to elect a new Criminal Department Shangshu, there is just one person under the son who can take on the important responsibility."

To say that King Yu has ambitions and no plans, it is really true, Duan Long, the secretary of the criminal department, has just been impeached, and King Yu has come out to get the position of the secretary of the criminal department.

"Father, there is also a capable person under the sons and daughters who can take the position of the secretary of the criminal department, and I implore my father to agree."

Although the Jade King has wisdom and strategy, he has to come out to compete with King Yu, once the position of the Criminal Department Shangshu falls into the hands of the Jade King, he is the most defeated person in today's court.

Therefore, the Jade King didn't want King Yu to get the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was originally his own, how could he give it to King Yu like this.

"The Jade King, the Yu King, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department will make my own decisions." Emperor Lu Huaan promised Lu Jiuyuan to give Lu Jiuyuan the book of the Criminal Department, so naturally he would not lose his trust in Lu Jiuyuan.

However, these words are different in the ears of the minister, which means that the emperor has long known that the criminal department secretary is going to be impeached by Lu Jiuyuan, so he has long had a candidate for the criminal department secretary.

"Father, can you tell your son, who is the candidate for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?"

The Jade King is still a little unwilling, King Yu doesn't have the courage to ask the emperor, the Jade King is unwilling, but the Jade King's loss this time is too great, and a third-grade official is not comparable to other fifth-grade and sixth-grade officials.

"Humph! Jade King, it's not your turn to do things, retreat"

"Six hundred miles expedited!"

Six hundred miles expedited!

When Emperor Lu Huaan was about to say that he would retire from the dynasty, the five words of six hundred miles of expedited suddenly came, and he who was about to leave the Taihe Hall returned to the dragon chair to see what the six hundred li expedited was.
