Chapter 0288: Turmoil Rises Again in Kyoto City
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood outside the cell door and glared angrily, "A bunch of fools! The prison of the Criminal Department was drugged and stunned, if this kind of ugly thing spreads, will we still have the face of the Criminal Department?! ”
He originally changed into an official uniform and planned to enter the palace for a banquet, but who knew that he would make this move!
The cell boss stepped forward and cautiously explained, "Lord Wu is angry! Fang Cai's subordinates went out for a trip, and they never expected that there would be a mess! The subordinates will investigate, and they must find out the thief! ”
Wu Shilang kicked the cell boss to the ground, "It's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" Leave two people to check! Celebrate the book! Immediately gather people to go to Liu Shangshu's Mansion in the household department to find out the theft of his house......"
The person who was called Qingshu by Wu Shilang was the master of the Criminal Department, and before he could respond, he saw several officials running in in a panic.
"My lord! Something happened! ”
"What's wrong again?" Wu Shilang turned around with an impatient face and said, "Tell me!" Hurry up! ”
The official looked embarrassed, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Lord Hui, many adults' homes have suffered thefts, and their silver vaults have been ransacked. And those adults have become ......."
Wu Shilang suddenly felt that the root of his teeth hurt angrily, "What's wrong?" Say it! ”
"They were all crazy, cutting their official uniforms with scissors, and babbling nonsense in front of their houses, saying... They said that their money was obtained by looting the people's fat and people's ointment. ”
"What? Did the person who came to report the crime say that the murderer left a clue? ”
"It's... My lord, those housekeepers and servants all said that the walls of their houses were written with the word sophistry in dog blood. And the thief left a letter saying that it was taken from the people, and it should be used by the people, and the city of Kyoto is now full of jewels, silver taels and silver tickets, and the people are rushing everywhere, causing great trouble to the defenders of Kyoto. ”
Wu Shilang suddenly had two big heads, and the two mustaches on his angry lips trembled, "What did you do?" Or is it painted with dog blood? Haven't those who are making waves in the name of sophistry already been caught by us? ”
"It's... This villain is not easy to say, how do you think this matter should be decided? ”
"Apply for the transfer of troops immediately and forcibly suppress it! Prevent those mobs from causing more trouble! This matter must not reach the ears of the emperor! ”
"The town... Repression? Wouldn't that be a bad thing? ”
The official's eyes for help turned to the master Li Qingshu, who stroked his goat whiskers and said, "My lord, it's really inappropriate." The thief robbed the government for the sake of the people, and the court lost face, but this person gained a good reputation. This matter can no longer be suppressed, if we apply for the transfer of troops to suppress it again, the court will lose the support of the people, and your official position... I'm afraid it's even harder to protect! ”
Wu Shilang obviously listened to his master's words, restrained his anger, and asked reluctantly with a pleasant face, "What does the master think?" ”
"Someone should be guilty of this matter, as long as the lord transfers this dirty water, the emperor monk will not only not blame you, but maybe he will also give you a great credit."
He Lan lay on his side on the straw, and the ice water he had just poured had already flowed down the placket of his clothes into the straw under him. Holding back the discomfort caused by the sticky wet clothes, through the messy hair that was covered, he happened to see the viciousness in the eyes of the master.
Wu Shilang was originally a sloppy bag on the wall, and happy events depended on the master, so when he heard the words, he couldn't wait to ask, "Master, what do you mean?" ”
"My lord, we can completely let Su Hao take the blame."
"What? Su Zhen? Didn't he flee Kyoto a long time ago? ”
"Your Excellency doesn't know that there are a lot of rumors in Kyoto that Su Zhen has returned to Beijing. He was originally the emperor's own six-grade Shaoqing, and he was also the eldest son of the Taifu Mansion. A person who is accustomed to being favored suddenly becomes a wanted criminal who has absconded for murder. You say, will he have a psychological gap? ”
Wu Shilang was unconsciously led by the nose by the master, "It is also appropriate to be unwilling, he is not bad, but he is a little stubborn, but he does not have a long brain, and his style of acting is bold and reckless, and he deserves to fall into this fate." ”
"In that case, we might as well defile him again?"
"But isn't this dirty water too far-fetched?"
"Rest assured! Absolutely not! Think about it, Su Hao herself has hatred for the imperial court, and she can't help but seek revenge when she comes back, which shows that this person is violent and misbehaved. Besides, he also intervened in the previous sophistry case, and finally made up a story casually, and found a dead civet cat out of nowhere to convict him. Maybe he hid the sophistry and waited for the day to deal with the court. Isn't that what you see? Maybe he did it! ”
Seeing that Wu Shilang was a little moved by him, and no longer thought about finding out the truth, Li Qingshu waved his hand to let the officials exit the prison, and continued to add another fire.
"My lord, you have been in this position for many years, don't you...... You don't want to go up again? ”
"Li Qingshu! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Li Qingshu walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "My lord, you have lived in officialdom for a long time, but you have been pressed by Lord Shangshu. Although it was said that His Royal Highness King Qin was imprisoned in the prison by the crown prince, the emperor did not express his position from beginning to end. Between this father and son, the broken bones are still connected to the tendons, if you can help His Royal Highness King Qin, use Su Zhen to defeat the crown prince, and say that there is only a Shangshu position, even the prime minister will become your bag. ”
"But we talk in the vernacular, can the emperor believe it?"
"Su Zhen is the fuse that ignited the relationship between the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Qin, do you think... Can the emperor tolerate her? ”
"That's right, so it is."
"My lord, the most important thing now is to send people to guide public opinion, as long as Su Zhen is ruined, everything will naturally fall into place."
"Good! Then do as you say! ”
"Lord Xie trusts!"
Wu Shilang encircled himself in the pie painted for him by Li Qingshu, and the slightest doubt that still existed was completely gone.
The two looked at each other and smiled sadly.
After hearing this, He Lan disdained what the two said at all, closed her half-open eyes, and pretended to be still in a coma like others.
They all wanted to step on Su Zhen's corpse to get on the throne, but they were not afraid to step on the blade and prick a kick of blood.
But then again, could the chaos in Kyoto really have something to do with Su Zhen? What she said before leaving, it was obvious that she meant something......
He Lan turned his mind back to the original Yue Xian'er was determined to take refuge in Shang Yici, but accidentally left a flaw, so that Shang Yici sent someone from the Huang family to find out, but he strayed into the illusion they laid down, so that he became a part of the character in the trial and error illusion.
It was at that time that there was a rift between Yue Xian'er and Shang Yici, but they did not waver in their hearts about killing Su Hao.
Later, Jing'er deliberately set up a bureau in order to save Su Zhen. But now that I think about it, Su Zhen didn't resist at all, could it be... Is there really another reason?
