When he said this, Su Xiaoman paused, and everyone knew what Su Xiaoman was going to say next.

Li Ran drank tea silently, listening to what they said, Shi Ji Zhenqi asked directly.

"Tell me, how should we report to the court this time? How do you explain your presence in Yuzhou? ”

Su Xiaoman liked Shi Jizhen's straightforward personality at that time, so he cast an appreciative look at him, and then spoke.

"It's because of this incident that when the time comes, it will be said that I was tied up by bamboo dye, so I appeared in Yuzhou City."

Everyone at the table frowned, and Shi Jizhen raised questions again at this time.

"Then what did the emperor say to everyone in the court in the past few days since you disappeared?"

Lu Li heard him talking about himself, so he said casually.

"I said that Su Shangshu is sick, so he can't go to court."

There was silence in the room again, and it became unreasonable to say that Su Xiaoman was kidnapped, Shi Jizhen questioned.

"Since Xiaoman was kidnapped, why did he leave the emperor? Why did Xiaoman's personal maid appear in Yuzhou? ”

Su Xiaoman listened to Shi Ji's real question, she had already considered this matter, and then opened her mouth to explain.

"My maid was sent by me to take care of Huang Fengyi, and the kidnapping was also something after I took leave, because it was not good for the court officials to be kidnapped, so Lu Li learned that I was kidnapped and kept saying that I was sick and couldn't go to the court."

Huang Fengyi sat beside Shi Jizhen in a daze, nodding in agreement with her statement.

Everyone listened to Su Xiaoman's explanation, and felt that it was clear now, Zhu Ran's confession was just whether he had kidnapped Su Xiaoman, and now it was just a little earlier.

Su Xiaoman saw that everyone agreed with this statement, and then explained tomorrow's arrangements.

"Then if someone asks, just say so, tomorrow Shi Ji Zhen will report, saying that I was accidentally found trapped during the investigation, and I will be rescued and then arrested."

Shi Ji really listened to Su Xiaoman's arrangement, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

After everyone made a confession, they began to enjoy a sumptuous dinner, because it was for celebration, so the things prepared today were precious, several times more precious than what they usually ate.

Just as everyone was halfway through eating, the subordinates outside came to say that the prime minister had brought several ministers to visit the sick and offer condolences, and he was now waiting in the front hall.

Su Xiaoman had some doubts when he heard the names of those ministers, obviously she had nothing to do with them, but now she came to condolence with her.

Because it was a little rude to meet guests during the meal, Su Xiaoman said that he was uncomfortable today and asked them to go back first.

The people were a little overwhelmed, because they said that the owner of the family was eating, so it was not easy to answer.

Before anyone could speak, the ministers rushed into the backyard.

Lu Li frowned, is this Lu Mansion something they can enter casually?

The ministers were originally checking on Su Xiaoman's serious illness, but who knew that they found Lu Li on the dining table as soon as they entered the hospital.

After discovering Lu Li, all the officials knelt down one after another and greeted Lu Li.

The officials were brought by the prime minister,

So most of them were civil officials, and they were so afraid of Lu Li, the general, that they all knelt on the ground and trembled.

Lu Li told them to kneel on the ground, deliberately not going out, and only said flat after a long time.

The ministers who had received the order got up one after another, and then they all bowed their heads and did not speak.

Lu Li watched them come in one by one with a high spirit, it must have been the prime minister who broke in because of his high official position, and said with a cold snort.

"Hmph, as a civil official, you don't know how to be polite? If you break into the backyard without the permission of the director, who gave you the list? ”

This time the prime minister came up with it, so the prime minister stepped forward and replied.

"The emperor was angry, and the ministers forcibly broke in because they learned that Su Shangshu was seriously ill and really cared, and asked the emperor to explain."

Lu Li became even more angry when he heard this, so he opened his mouth to reprimand.

"Knowing that Su Shangshu is seriously ill and making such a big noise? I'm afraid I don't have other thoughts? ”

The ministers shook their heads one after another, saying that they had other thoughts, but they didn't dare to say it in front of the emperor.

The prime minister saw that things were not good, so he thought about how to leave this place of right and wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward.

"No, no, no, the emperor and the others really just want to care about Su Shangshu. I didn't expect the emperor to be here again today, so the ministers and others would not bother anymore, and the ministers would leave. ”

Lu Li looked at those ministers, gave them expressions that knew not to be cut, and did not embarrass them, so he spoke.

"Since you have all seen Su Shangshu, let's go home if there is nothing to do! In the future, don't break in without the master's order, what if people are really in a hurry? ”

Hearing that Lu Li was relieved, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed one after another and retired.

When the prime minister left, he glanced at the food on their table, although normal officials would do this, but it was too rich.

Originally, he was here to find trouble, so the prime minister had a note in his heart, this time he must get rid of this Su Xiaoman.

Maybe because Su Xiaoman is a woman, everyone in the court doesn't like her, and everyone wants to hit her hard, so this prime minister is no exception.

After the officials left, Su Xiaoman beckoned everyone to continue eating, and didn't pay attention to those who didn't want to do it.

After everyone had eaten and drunk, they returned home one after another to prepare for tomorrow's affairs in the court.

And behind Su Xiaoman's unbeknownst to her, there were some people who wanted to give her a heavy blow because they couldn't get used to her.

The next morning, Shi Jizhen and others gloriously completed the task and returned to the court to resume their lives, and all the officials got the gossip that Su Xiaoman was also involved, so they secretly tried to join her.

Lu Li sat on the main seat, of course, to preside over the overall situation, and after waiting for all the ministers to say hello, he looked in the direction of Shi Ji Zhen and began to ask.

"Shi Aiqing! How is the investigation of the Yuzhou cult this time, and are there any important things to report? ”

After Shi Ji really heard it, he knew that it was time for him to perform, so he stepped forward and glanced at Su Xiaoman's direction.

Su Xiaoman looked back at him and gave him a cheering look, which made Shi Ji really feel at ease.

Lu Li saw that the two of them were eyebrows, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and then urged.

"Why didn't Shi Aiqing speak? Is there any difficulty? Speak up, and I'll help you out. ”

What Lu Li meant by this is that if there is something to say, don't always look at his wife.

Shi Ji Zhen heard the emperor urging, so he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the cult in Yuzhou has been investigated."

Lu Li pretended not to know, showed a very puzzled expression, and then let out a sound with several bends.

Shi Ji really has three black lines on his head, this guy obviously knows the result, and now he is pretending to be confused, what a naughty guy.

Shi Jizhen, who complained in his heart, still understood the matter, and then continued.

"The ministers investigated, and the organizer of this cult is the princess of the former dynasty, Zhu Dye."

Hearing the silence of the ministers under this name, they began to discuss, after all, it was the royal family they served before, and it was a little inappropriate to say that it was a cult first.

Lu Li knocked on the chair to signal the officials to be quiet, and when it was quiet, Shi Ji Zhen continued.

"Her purpose is very clear, that is, to revive the previous dynasty."

Lu Li made a very nerve-wracking look on the upper position, and then spoke.

"This bold remnant, even if it is so ignorant of the heavens and the earth, should be punished."

When the ministers heard Lu Li's words, they had no way to refute it, they all knew that this matter was related to Su Xiaoman, but no one dared to find out and speak, after all, it was about treason.

The prime minister couldn't sit still, so he stepped forward and told Su Xiaoman.

"Your Majesty, Su Shangshu was also involved in this incident. Originally, Shangshu had no right to interfere in the affairs of Yuzhou, but Su Shangshu interfered, and asked the emperor to make a judgment. ”

Su Xiaoman knew that someone would definitely say something about her, but now that others dare not say it, it is ridiculous that this prime minister stood up at this time.

After listening to the prime minister's words, the ministers began to talk about Su Xiaoman's coming?

Yesterday they all discussed how to deal with it, so they stepped forward to explain.

"Back to the emperor, Su Shangshu's appearance in Yuzhou was purely accidental."

Lu Li naturally knew about Su Xiaoman's affairs, and said in casual clothes as a difficult look.

"Su Shangshu went to Yuzhou? These days, Su Shangshu has been on leave due to illness, how can I appear in Yuzhou when I went to see it? ”

When Shi Jizhen heard the emperor's words, she secretly sighed in her heart that he had good acting skills, and then said calmly.

"The minister found Su Shangshu in the process of investigating the case, and when she found Su Shangshu, she was kidnapped, and when she interrogated Zhu Ran, she also admitted that she kidnapped Su Shangshu in order to force the emperor to abdicate."

After hearing this, the ministers also felt that this was possible, after all, the emperor was very precious to Su Xiaoman, and tying her up could indeed force the emperor.

Everyone in the hall was quiet, and when the prime minister saw that he had nothing to say, he said that he had misunderstood and retreated.

Lu Li saw that there was no one in the way, so he asked Shi Ji Zhen to tell everything.

Shi Ji really got the order, and began to talk about it one by one

The evil deeds of bamboo dyeing.

"Back to the emperor, as soon as we arrived in Yuzhou, we found that the people above the market were affectionate and sluggish, and although they were prosperous during the day, they were all that kind of silent prosperity."

Speaking of this, Shi Ji Zhen sorted out the language, and then continued.

"At night, the people all wore black robes and strange masks to go out to worship, probably since Su Shangshu was caught by them and sacrificed, it became more rampant."

Everyone listened carefully to Shi Jizhen's words, and did they still discuss a few words with each other.

Lu Li pretended to be very curious, and then asked.

"Rampant? What a rampant method? ”

Shi Jizhen replayed what Li Ran said to him in his head, and then began to speak.

"I once mingled in the guise of them, and they were so mad that they were sacrificing in the city. The number of people is very large. ”
