Chapter 488: A hornet's nest that is big enough

"Since the establishment of the Xuantian Mansion in Chuzhou, there has never been an exception to the rules set by the emperor, and I hope that the city lord Li can understand. Lu Sheng's indifferent voice sounded indifferently.

"You, so you're not going to let me go today?"

"City Lord Li, there is no place outside the law in Shenzhou, let alone people outside the law. ”

"Lu Sheng, have you ever thought about your fate?" Li Chengzhu's cold voice was like the cold wind of the northern night, and his heart was frozen in an instant. But Lu Sheng opened his mouth faintly, revealing a faint smile.

"I can think about my fate, but it's definitely not something that a vulgar like you is qualified to think about. ”

"When will my son be judged?" Li Chengzhu didn't want to waste any more time with Lu Sheng.

"No accident, I will hand it over to the Taishou Mansion tomorrow, and Li Xiaochen's matter has nothing to do with this official. How to judge is a matter for He Taishou. As he spoke, Lu Sheng slowly turned around and walked inward, suddenly paused, and silently turned his head away.

"By the way, the White Horse army threatened Xuantian Mansion, and if you want to let the chickens and dogs in Xuantian Mansion not leave this sentence, I will also report it to the emperor. ”

"Lu Sheng, you are spewing blood!" Li Chengzhu, who was just about to turn around and leave for the Taishou Mansion, jumped up violently and turned around and scolded.

"At least you just said it, but don't be nervous, the emperor shouldn't have leveled White Horse City with your words. After all...... Your son says more. ”

"Hmph, Xuantian Mansion brutalized Zhongliang and beat him into a trick, this matter, the old man will definitely impeach you, you wait for the emperor to punish the crime. Li Chengzhu put down a cruel word, stepped on the war horse and turned around and galloped towards the end of the street.

The white horse retreated like a tide, and in an instant, all of them had retreated.

"My lord, Li Chengzhu shouldn't give up, right?"

"Naturally not! We have the rules of Xuantian Mansion, but they also have their own processes. We collected evidence to arrest him, and he naturally had other ways to exonerate Li Xiaochen. ”

"Then what do we do next? Try to convict Li Xiaochen of death?"

"Conviction is not the business of Xuantian Mansion, we are only responsible for evidence! If the emperor does not want to kill, no matter how serious the crime is, it is useless. ”

Lu Sheng suddenly showed a smile slightly, "Soon, I think someone will come to hand the emperor a knife, and Li Xiaochen's death depends not on how much crime he committed, but because the emperor has to kill him." ”

"Committing such a serious crime and dying so many people, isn't that a reason to have to kill?"

"The superior thinks about the whole world! Even if Li Xiaochen kills more people and kills more people, it is more advantageous for him to live than to die, then the emperor will let him live.

It has little to do with whether Li Xiaochen himself should die or not, killing a Li Xiaochen may trigger a rebellion in White Horse City, and it is more likely to cause a backlash from the world's gate lords.

The emperor has already told me before that the first emperor killed too hard, so that when the saint ascended the throne, he was already in turmoil. The killing back then not only did not defeat the gate lord Guixun, but also made them start to hold together.

A gate valve is not terrible, but it is a gate valve nobleman who is in a group. A region, a group of nobles, and their strength is enough to shake the country's capital.

This is also why the emperor has been based on benevolent government since he ascended the throne, dividing, pacifying, and winning over the gate lords. Since the ascendation of the throne by the Holy Lord, there has been only one noble lord who has fallen, and that is Beikanhou.

And the reason why he fell was also because he committed the great crime of rebellion! Gate Valve Guixun also had nothing to say. ”

"So, Li Xiaochen can't die?" Lu Jian shouted a little unwillingly.

"I don't think you listened to what I just said......

"If the disadvantages of killing Li Xiaochen outweigh the benefits, then Li Xiaochen cannot die, and if the benefits of killing Li Xiaochen outweigh the disadvantages, Li Xiaochen will die. ”

"So...... What we have to do is to turn the disadvantages of killing Li Xiaochen into benefits?" Lu Sheng's words gave Lu Jian a hint of understanding.

"Actually, there are many things that I shouldn't worry about, but I want Li Xiaochen to die, and there is nothing to say in the world when he dies. What do you say?"

"Find a way to charge him with rebellion!" The words Lu Jian almost burst out from between his teeth, after learning that the spider was almost bullied by Li Xiaochen, Li Xiaochen could only be a dead man in Lu Jian's eyes.

"It's easy to kill Li Xiaochen, but we can't ignore the threat behind us. If we kill Li Xiaochen, there is a monstrous flood behind it, then what we have done has not harmed more people?

The four main cities of Chuzhou...... In fact, there is no need to worry, the real threat is that Dayu's gate valve Guixun will die with cold lips and teeth. Since then, it would be bad for them not to serve the court and rebel.

That's why I said that if Li Xiaochen wants to die, the world has nothing to say, and Li Xiaochen must be linked to the locust plague in Chuzhou the year before last. What if Li Xiaochen joins the Demon Sect?"

"Shhhh

Lu Jian took a deep breath and nodded silently.

"If Li Xiaochen is the remnant of the Demon Sect, then even if he is killed thousands of times in the world, he will be called okay? Perhaps, the lords of the world will collectively write a letter to ask the imperial court to kill Li Xiaochen. ”

"But this is not enough, in addition to linking Li Xiaochen with the Demon Sect, you also need to give the emperor a reason to kill Li Xiaochen. ”

As he spoke, a Xuan Tianwei suddenly strode over and stopped Lu Sheng.

"My lord, there are hundreds of people outside the door, and they say they are here to identify the corpse!"

"What kind of corpse?"

"It's the corpse found in the canyon of the West Chu Mansion!"

"Oh?" Lu Sheng's face moved, and he already had a guess in his heart. When Li Xiaochen was interrogated before, although Li Xiaochen confessed to killing people, Li Xiaochen didn't know the identity of this group of people at all.

But when Lu Sheng couldn't find out where the population was lost, Lu Sheng guessed that the identities of these people might not be ordinary. At this time, someone came to identify the corpse, and obviously, the Demon Sect made a move.

This wave of boosts will definitely make Li Xiaochen die without a place to be buried.

"Let's go, take them to the morgue!"

The morgue is a place where Lu Sheng specially ordered people to build and park the corpses, although there is no refrigeration equipment in this world, but there are martial arts in this world. Lu Sheng made a move of the Heavenly Frost Fist, and it was frozen for ten miles. Refrigerating some corpses is very simple.

Lu Sheng came to the morgue, and there were about 500 people standing in front of the building outside the morgue.

They are quiet, not noisy, and even their standing posture is straight and straight.

The moment he saw them, Lu Jian's eyes flashed and he quietly leaned into Lu Sheng's ear, "Soldier?"

"It must be!"

How could there be such discipline if they were not soldiers? Moreover, although these hundreds of people were dressed in civilian clothes, any one of them would be able to perceive that they were all one as a whole if they looked at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, fifteen days ago, we found the corpses of 2,000 people disguised as Huns in the gorge of Xichu Province. After identification, we concluded that they were definitely not Xiongnu, but because no missing people were found in Chuzhou, we could not confirm their identities.

Today, when you came to identify the body, the officer was very surprised. Before you go in and identify it, can you tell me how you know the body we found?"

"My lord, the grass people's wives and children came to Chuzhou to visit the grass people in half a year, and most of them left to return to their hometowns half a year ago, but after such a long time, no one has heard whether they have arrived safely. ”

"My lord, the villain lives in Qinzhou, and he lives in Chuzhou, and it only takes six or seven days to make a round trip, so there is no reason why there is no news for half a month. ”

"Yes, the villagers returned to their hometowns, and the brothers escorted them, but it has been half a month, and the brothers have not returned, and there is no news from the family......"

After the representatives finished speaking, Lu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.

"You're all ...... Born in the military, right?" Lu Sheng asked hesitantly, "What kind of town army is it?"

"Your Excellency's eyes are like torches!" As soon as these words came out, an imposing middle-aged man in the crowd strode out, "In the Lower Third Town Army, the scout battalion is in charge of the horse gang, and today someone sent a message into my military camp, saying that Xuantian Mansion had captured the young city lord of White Horse City.

Among the charges was the murder of relatives in my scout camp. Originally, the brothers were a little anxious, and they did not receive the news of their family's safe return to their hometown. When I heard this, I couldn't sit still.

After specially asking the marshal, he came in plain clothes, because the soldiers were not allowed to leave the barracks at will, and even if they left, they were not allowed to wear military uniforms, so they failed to tell the truth and asked for forgiveness. ”

Who can shoot arrows into the barracks?"

"This ......," the face of the commander of the scout battalion changed slightly, "My lord, because our army is about to march south, and the scout battalion, as a vanguard battalion deep behind enemy lines, has been practicing jungle infiltration training in the mountains and forests, and the military camp is not set up in the base camp.

But the adults did remind me, we practiced infiltrating and infiltrating, and we didn't know that we were touched by someone who was in the barracks, and it seems that we need to reflect again after we go back. My lord, can we go in and identify the body?"

"Yes, soldiers, please come inside!"

The words landed, and the twelve doors of the morgue were slowly opened.

"All the officers and men obey the order, do not make noise, do not disturb the order, otherwise, the military law will deal with it!"

"Yes!"

Then, hundreds of soldiers entered the morgue, and in the open space of the huge morgue, there were wooden planks half a meter wide and two meters long, on which a piece of ice was placed as wide as the wooden plank, and a relatively well-preserved corpse lay in each ice cube.

When these corpses were found, the corpses had already begun to decompose, so Lu Sheng could only protect the corpses with complete ice. Fortunately, the face of the corpse is still intact, and if it is a relative, it must be able to identify it.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, a cry sounded, and Lu Sheng looked around, only to see a soldier suddenly stop in front of a block of ice and fall to his knees with a thud.

Because the general ordered that no loud noises should be made, the grief-stricken warrior covered his mouth and bit his hands and whimpered.

"Lin Li, he is your ......," the commander hurriedly stepped forward and asked excitedly.

"That's my brother...... My brother...... My father and mother have two sons, my brother and me, I joined the army, and my brother is filial piety at home......

Half a year ago, my younger brother took my father and mother to the city, and it has been five years...... Our family was reunited like this. It's only been half a year...... I joined the army for five years...... It's only been half a year since the reunion...... Brother...... My brother ......"

"Dog!"

"Wang Erβ€”"

Immediately, more corpses were claimed by them, and at this moment, the identity of this group of mysterious deceased people was finally clear.

It's just that Lu Sheng really didn't dare to think that they were all relatives of soldiers. It seems that Lu Sheng doesn't need to think about how to kill Li Xiaochen anymore, this hornet's nest is big enough.
