Eastern Capital, Lijingmen, Prison.

Since the establishment of the self-made prison, those who enter this gate, there is not one in a hundred who survives, and the civil and military officials call it the Routine Gate, which means that according to the usual practice, as long as they come in, it will be over.

As a sharp blade in the hands of the queen of heaven, the principals of Lijingmen are all promoted, Zhou Xing, Suo Yuanli, Lai Junchen, and now, this is Hou Sizhi's territory.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged in the prison hall, sniffing the sachet hard, but all he smelled was blood, he had been here for a long time, his nose could only smell this smell, he had already given him a purple gold fish bag, but except for the previous dynasty, they all wore white robes, the whiter the better, without a trace of variegation, and the officialdom called it white impermanence.

A group of black-clothed officials came up to the hall carrying a row of stretchers, "Hou Yushi, the fourteen personal guards who escorted Xue Shao have all been brought, you see?" ”

Hou Sizhi glanced at it lightly, "How is the injury?" ”

The official is currently going to check, "The thunder is split, the injuries are serious, and the fire is slightly lighter, all of them are skin and flesh, hurting the muscles, veins and bones"

Hou Sizhi closed his eyes and took another sip of the sachet, and scolded in a deep voice, "Shut up, what I'm asking is whether they can be executed?" Can you speak? ”

The official swallowed his saliva, "Yes"

Hou Sizhi waved his hand, and the black-clothed official sent a group of two, rudely picked up the guards, and went down to the dungeon, and the miserable howls continued to sound.

"Hou Yushi, what confession do you want? Please also ask for instructions, "The officials bow down and ask for instructions."

Hou Sizhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Besides, try it first, go down and remind them, don't kill them all"

"Yes" The official hurriedly ran to the dungeon, afraid that it would be too late at night, the bluestone slab was too wet, covered with moss, and his feet were slippery, and he rolled down directly, and his head was broken and bleeding.

Hou Sizhi laughed, the laughter became smaller and smaller, took out a fire stick from the stick, put it in front of him, turned his head and looked west, "What confession do you want?" I'll have to see what happens to you."

The sleeves of the white robe flicked suddenly, the sticks were blown away, and the fire sticks were scattered all over the ground.

Chang'an, after the rain, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, but the mansions of the courtiers and magnates are still cloudy.

The much-favored servant Shi Yu Baojia was caught and brought into the palace, and then he was beheaded on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion, and the Taiping princess Xue Shao was killed by lightning, and the guards who followed Hu were either dead or injured, and the injured ones were caught in the Lijing Gate.

The flurry of movements is terrifying.

Pingkangfang, on the wall of the back kitchen of the brothel, has a well-decorated secret room, and several gorgeously dressed old men are muttering together.

"Yu Bao's family deserves it, I want to not take the right path of the imperial examination, invite pets with strange skills, create copper kuang, and kill how many royal loyalty, and now, I also died because of the copper tipping, it can be said that God has eyes, and the retribution is not happy"

"I'm afraid that this sentence God has eyes, the fish protection family is self-defeating, God has eyes, Xue Juma was thundered, and God has eyes?"

There was silence in the room for a while.

"The county prince is very worried, the king of Langya raised the banner of righteousness, and Xue Fuma helped a lot, and now, he was killed by thunder, which is only afraid that it will fuel the demonic arrogance of the court, and under the hype, the people's hearts are unified and precarious."

An old man frowned and pointed to the roof, "Why hasn't there been any movement for a long time?" ”

"She's waiting, waiting for the good news of Qiu's miracles"

"What should we do for the sake of the present?"

"How? The thunderbolt incident has been arrested by Lijingmen, and even if we want to overturn the case, we have nowhere to start."

The old man, known as the county lord, twitched his cheeks, "No, there are still people outside"

"Then, I'm going to visit the right horse"

The county prince waved his hand to stop, "Don't act rashly, at this time, Princess Yiyang's mansion must be full of ears and eyes, and she will only give people a handle, and the right policy is the captain of the pro-mansion, and she must always enter the palace on duty, and she can be persuaded by her nephew."

"County Prince, I heard from Xiao'er that Princess Yiyang's Mansion has arranged for Quan Ce to resign."

The county prince was shocked, "Do you know the inside story?" ”

"It is rumored that Princess Yiyang's Mansion sold this position to a wealthy merchant in the eastern capital and got a lot of money"

The county prince's eyes widened, and he gasped for a long time, "Wealth is harmful, Princess Yiyang, making a difficult living, as for this?" ”

Tens of thousands of dollars blocked the fast track to overturn the case, and the situation was turbulent when the DPRK and China boarded.

Some people advocated that the Lei Yan case was created out of nothing, and that the power and tactics were to confuse the public, and that the mastermind behind the strict investigation by the three law divisions must be arrested, and some people insisted that the Lei Yan case was indeed a thing, and impeached Hou Sizhi, saying that the personal guards were injured in the performance of their official duties, and they should be compensated, but he did the opposite thing and brutalized Zhongliang.

The music was submitted, and the queen of heaven and Ruizong did not respond with a word, and treated it coldly.

The courtiers' sense of urgency has increased greatly, the fighting spirit has become stronger and stronger, they have attacked each other, the lawsuit has become bigger and bigger, and they have escaped from the scope of the thunder case.

The situation quickly intensified, the mouth of the fight was not enjoyable, the young Yushi of the Yushitai in a group, and the Zhongshu Men under the housekeeper to give the matter, divided into two groups, in the Guangfan Gate about the fight, fists and feet, when the fight was fierce, three red-clothed soldiers rushed by, holding high a brocade song, shouting in their mouths, "Bozhou good news" "Bozhou good news".

The two sides unanimously stopped arguing, collected troops and returned to the official office, and later counted that there were five people who broke their heads in this battle, more than 20 people who bled blood, and the rest were wounded.

Daming Palace, Ziwei Palace, the Queen of Heaven summoned Ruizong to have lunch together.

Hearing about the brawl, the two supremes laughed, many official offices under the Tang Dynasty Zhongshu were set up in the palace ban, civil officials were short-tempered, since the queen of heaven came to the dynasty, there were North Gate bachelors in front of them, and Xue Huaiyi in the back, as long as they set foot in the Xuanzheng Gate, they all suffered violent beatings, and they were used to beating each other because of political differences.

"Dan, what do you think about the thunderstorm?" Empress Wu is over sixty years old, the maintenance is excellent, the hair is black, the face is wrinkled, it looks like about 40 people, slow and orderly meals, the appetite is very good, the agate fish on the table, the sheep arm has eaten a lot, the Empress Wu likes to eat sweets, and after the meal, he also used a piece of bean paste through the flower cake, a bowl of rice brocade cake.

Ruizong Li Dan didn't move his chopsticks much, and he didn't dare to look directly at Empress Wu, just sat silently with his head down, heard the question, straightened his waist, and replied, "Erchen thinks that Xue Shao is the husband of Taiping, and she is pregnant again, so she should consult Taiping after death."

"Hmph, slippery head" Empress Wu smiled pleasantly, her voice was light and clear, "Since I became the system, there have been many rebellions, and those who get involved in it will not escape the laws and disciplines of the country, Xue Shao dares to rebel, thinking that he has put life and death out of the way, how can he care about the aftermath?" ”

"Dan, the Li family is my husband's family, and the Wu family are dependent on each other, there is no separation between each other, but there are people who are separated from each other, making waves" Empress Wu stood up, came to Ruizong's table, squatted down and served soup for him with a long spoon, his eyebrows and eyes were focused, and he spoke softly.

Ruizong avoided the table and knelt on the ground.

"I've already killed too many people surnamed Li, and if I continue to kill like this, I'm afraid, Emperor Gaozong, he will blame me"

Ruizong's whole body was coveted, and he couldn't speak.

Shangguan waited for the edict to enter, and congratulated him in a loud voice, "Queen of Heaven, Your Majesty, Daxi, Zuo Wuwei General Qiu Shenji's military report, Langya King Li Chong rebelled, seven days of peace, Li Chong was afraid of crime, and the mansion self-immolated"

"Congratulations to the Queen of Heaven, congratulations to Your Majesty" In the spacious palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who stood congratulated in unison.

"Another one surnamed Li" Wu Hou didn't smile, muttered in a low voice, didn't know what to think, sneered, the flowers bloomed richly, beautiful and moving, "Fortunately, there is a sensible little guy, I can explain to Emperor Gaozong"

Empress Wu stood up, her long skirt dragged behind, and left herself, followed by many female officials and palace maids.

Ruizong knelt on the ground, not daring to move slightly, and had to be reminded by the eunuchs around him that Empress Wu had gone away, so he straightened up, drank the lotus seed and snow clam soup held by Empress Wu in a big gulp, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, closed his eyes, and flashed the plump under the collar of the queen mother in front of him, and the sound of debauchery and crazy laughter rose and fell in his ears.

Ruizong took the long spoon and soup bowl back to his dormitory together, and praised sincerity and filial piety inside and outside the palace ban.

Chunguan Shangshu, with Fengge Luantai Pingzhang Fan Lu Bing on the sparse, the sky borrowed loyalty and good grace, punished the traitor, thundered Xue Shao in front, burned Li Chong in the back, guilty people, each deserved, meritorious people, should also be praised.

Fan Lubing was born in the north gate, and he was in a different position, and his performance was different, almost the coffin was closed, the courtiers' disputes subsided instantly, and countless pairs of eyes locked on Princess Yiyang's mansion.

Shangguan Wan'er personally went out of the palace and went to Princess Yiyang's mansion to convey the decree of the martial queen, she stopped Quan Yi's hospitality, went straight to Quan Ce's unnamed courtyard, and saw a warm scene.

"Brother, I'm tired" In the small pavilion, many maids were crowded, and it was very lively, and Quan Zhu's chubby body was twisting and turning on the golden beauty, and he was about to sit still.

"Erlang will stay for a while, it'll be fine" Quan Ce buried himself in a simple easel, and used a homemade charcoal strip to smear it, and Quan Zhu's festive appearance jumped on the paper.

He quickened his movements, didn't notice that the noise around him stopped, and finished the finishing work, relieved, "Erlang, it's finished, you can take a look"

Quan Zhu wrenched his fingers and sat there obediently, without coming, a fragrant aroma wafted into his nose, Quan Ce raised his head, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen the edict"

Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head to admire his paintings, her eyes were longing, and the corners of her plump mouth were slightly upturned, "Da Lang, take the order"

"The gods have a master, the way of heaven is not merciful, the saint is in power, the will of heaven does not hide treachery, the sky has eyes, those who dare to make trouble, it is difficult to escape the law, the thunder and fire are ruthless, those who dare to rebel will be punished by heaven, the heavens will be rewarded and punished, the offender will be awarded, the thunder will kill the sinner, the loyal and good will be unharmed, the captain of the pro-mansion will be the right policy, Mingde Mao pro, the weak crown will serve in the court, sincere and resolute, and warn the people with his example, and give a special gift of ten thousand taels of gold, two hundred thousand pieces of money, ten thousand horses, 100 servants, give the captain of the cavalry, and promote the left thousand cows and Wei Yu Lin Lang general, on the five products, and drive with the attendants"

Quan Ce received the will and bowed down to thank Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er covered her lips and smiled, "Da Lang doesn't need to be polite, I am happy to you, there is also a gift list here, His Royal Highness Taiping asked me to bring it, saying that it was for your nephew to be shocked."

"Xie Princess Longen, there is work to be done" Quan Ce respectfully thanked, the gift list is a bunch of gold and silver money, compared to the reduction of the queen of martial arts, it doesn't matter how many things, as long as Princess Taiping does not hold grudges, this trip will be a complete merit.

After Shangguan Wan'er left, Quan Yi called Quan Ce to the study, and said a sentence after a long time, "Go to Princess Taiping's Mansion tomorrow to pay tribute, the Li family is a royal family, and it is also your mother family, you must remember"

Quan Ce was speechless and bowed down to receive the order.

The next day, the eastern capital quickly entered Beijing, Hou Sizhi played, Lijingmen closed the thunder incident with the guards, and did everything possible to delay the treatment of doctors and medicines, Lai Tianhou Hongfu, the injury healed, unexpectedly soon, all fourteen people died without illness, thinking that it was caused by the curse of heaven.

The magnates of Chang'an are deeply sucky.
