On a snowy night, the front of the palace was illuminated by a torch burning with beeps.

The patrol battalion with qiāng crossbows was waiting for the forbidden army, and all the people in the palace had been arrested, and there were five and six people just now, and the housekeepers and servants who shouted to clean up the land war were all turned into shrunken quails, and knelt on the snow tremblingly.

Tan Songcheng, the head of Dali Temple, held his head high, his face full of sarcasm.

What about the prince, this official is the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, iron-faced and selfless, upright, never bow to power, don't think that if you have soldiers in hand, I will be afraid of you.

Su Lu squinted at Tan Songcheng: "Tan Songcheng, if you don't try this case today, you will be tried." ”

Tan Songcheng laughed: "Don't think that with military power in hand, you can run rampant in the world, I, Tan Songcheng, am an official of the imperial court, a courtier of Your Majesty, not a guest and lackey of your Prince Anguo." ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "Pingqi, Lord Tan's resume can be found, pick out the flaws, read them to Lord Tan, and let him recall the wrong things he has done." ”

Pingqi picked up a fold and looked at Tan Songcheng with a smile: "Master Tan, don't be ashamed, then you can't help it." ”

"Tan Songcheng, a native of Weiyuan County, Shazhou, his father is Tan Wang, a big family in the county, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, he was a sixteen-year-old middle school boy, a nineteen-year-old middle showman, a twenty-five-year-old middle school, and a three-one-year-old Jinshi."

Tan Songcheng's face was full of pride, this is his glorious front body, although there are many ups and downs in the middle, but it is not bad to be able to lift at the age of thirty-one.

Ping Qi's voice turned and began to talk about Tan Songcheng's evil deeds.

"Eighteen-year-old molested maidservant Xiaochun and forced him to death."

"I got married at the age of nineteen, married the daughter of Qian Cheng, a big family in this county, and forced the Qian daughter to death before participating in the palace examination."

"For the official queen to marry the daughter of the road waiter of the current criminal department, the road girl is ugly, quite unpopular with Lord Tan, she has been married so far, and she has not yet rounded the house, I don't know if the road waiter knows about this?"

Ping Qi smiled and looked at the waiter of the criminal department who was escorted next to him.

Lu Shilang's face changed, and when he looked at Tan Songcheng, his appearance was full of fierceness.

"Tan Songcheng, is this true?"

Tan Songcheng's face changed slightly, but he still said stiffly: "Father-in-law, don't listen to the villain's slander, and condemn the villain, these are all false accusations." ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "That's all?" This is not enough for me to kill him Tan Songcheng. ”

Ping's eyes lit up, since the prince had the intention to kill him, it would be easy to do.

took a copy of the fold from the hand of the commander of the capital of Dingxiang Wei next to him, and said cautiously:

"Lord, this is an excerpt about the capital's officials, and you can't see it unless Your Majesty and the prince."

Su Lu took the fold, glanced at it, and his face immediately became ugly, and a handful of folds were still on the ground.

"Tan Songcheng"

Tan Songcheng's face shook, and timidity and fear came to his heart, could it be that all the secret things he did on weekdays had been discovered.

Su Lu looked around, and his voice was cold: "Lord Tan, the ancients had a saying about Sven beasts, are you talking about people like you Tan Songcheng?" ”

"Come on, take down Tan Songcheng and behead him on the spot."

Tan Songcheng panicked: "Lord Wang, I am an official of the imperial court, you can't kill me." ”

"Kill me, you can't explain to the court."

"The clan is already suspicious of you, kill me, the clan will definitely take your power and let you die a good death."

Su Lu sneered: "Then don't bother you Lord Tan, kill it." ”

Several patrol battalion forbidden soldiers rushed up, pressed Tan Songcheng in a slippery manner, waved the big knife, and Tan Songcheng's head fell to the ground.

Lu Shilang's face changed slightly, he impeached the prince in the past, participated in his self-respect, did not take the important ministers of the court in his eyes, did not respect the clan, and was not afraid of His Majesty, now it seems that these crimes are light.

Once the soldiers were in hand, he dared to kill the ministers of the court, this is the fourth grade, the chief official of Dali Temple, because of a fold, he didn't even verify it, so he cut people down.

Ming'er still wants to join him, and he wants to join him to death.

Tan Songcheng was killed, and Su Lu's eyes looked at Lu Shilang.

"Lu Shilang, I heard that you married the daughter of the Li family, and you can be regarded as a member of the clan?"

Lu Shilang's face changed slightly, although he had made up his mind to impeach Su Lu, but now he didn't dare to touch Su Lu's moldy head.

"The old minister does not dare to call himself a clan, although the old minister's wife is the daughter of the clan, but the old minister is the old minister, and the wife is a wife."

"Today's case, when the old man comes to try it in person, he must be fair and strict, and he will never show favoritism."

Lu Shilang took the initiative to pick up the case file and began to try the case.

Su Lu watched from the side, and I have to say that Lu Shilang can be a Shilang of the Criminal Department, and he still has his own ability, and there are dozens of Diao slaves in the palace, except for the elderly housekeeper, the rest of the guilty ones have all been screened clearly.

Lu Shilang finished dealing with the servants of the palace and put the case files in class, and then saluted Su Lu with his fists.

"Lord Wang, the matter you ordered has been done, these people are bold, they will be sent to the Criminal Department tomorrow, and they will be beheaded after the autumn."

Su Lu sneered: "This king is doing things, when is the punishment department nodding." ”

"Lu Zhan, according to the screening of the road squire, he should be beheaded, and he will cut off his head now."

Lu Zhan greeted, dozens of guards stepped forward, and in the crying and begging of the palace slaves, they dragged a group of subordinates out, and in front of the road attendant, they all cut off their heads.

The white of the fish belly rose in the east, and I don't know when, the snow has stopped, and the red and bright sun pokes its head out of the white of the fish belly, illuminating the capital.

Lu Shilang clasped his fists and saluted Su Lu: "Lord Wang, the time of the last dynasty is coming, if there is nothing to do, the lower official will leave." ”

Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for Lu Shilang to take care of himself.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Su Lu instructed the old housekeeper and said: "Deal with all these well, it is also your lax discipline and nepotism that caused such a big disaster, I will not punish you, you will know what to do in the future." ”

The old housekeeper knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "The slave knows that the slave is dizzy, but he refuses to give up his power, which caused such a catastrophe, they died innocently, but the reputation of the prince was ruined, and the old slave deserved to die." ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "Okay, I didn't say that you should die, just deal with the matter here, Young Master Cousin and Miss Cousin have told me, although you are unfair, but you are still able to serve them, for the sake of your dedication, you are not very wrong, that's all." ”

Changning Tong led a group of internal guards to the gate of the palace, Changning jumped out of the carriage, bowed down and said:

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty knows that you are back, and ordered me to come over and ask you to go back and rest."

Su Lu nodded, gave a few more orders, and ordered Lu Zhan to entertain Li Dazhuang in the palace, and then got into the carriage and followed Changning.

Looking at the back of the Ouchi guard convoy, Li Dazhuang wanted to speak and stopped.

"General Lu, you are the prince's personal guard, why didn't you follow into the palace?"

Li Dazhuang finally couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zhan looked puzzled: "Isn't the palace safe enough, what's the matter, is there someone in the palace who wants to assassinate the prince?" ”

Lu Zhan said, already pressing the long knife on his waist.

Pingqi hurriedly stopped the land battle: "You two don't think about it, the prince is the pillar of the country, His Majesty's husband, how can anyone in the palace threaten the prince." ”

"Da Zhuang, it's right that you are worried about the safety of the prince, but you can't talk nonsense."

Looking at the distant convoy, Ping Qi said with some concern:

"I'm afraid that the prince is going to be accused this time, he killed the court members without permission, and cut off so many heads on the street, I don't know how many copies the prince will be involved again."
