Chapter 380: Pleading
Li Su paused after coming out of the room and left.
There are many people whose names overlap with the names on the list in Song Bai's hand, and the combination of the two can lock up the suspects faster.
At this time, the person in charge of guarding the wonton stall finally discovered the secret of the wonton stall, and it turned out that the wonton stall passed on the message through the flags hung every day.
No wonder they didn't find any suspicious people, because they discovered the secret of the flag, they quickly locked on the suspect, that person was a person who looked ordinary, and through tracking him, they found that he had quietly entered the mansion of Zhang Feng, the squire of the military department.
At this point, the people behind the three assassins were all found by them, and it was obviously not enough to arrest them with the people of the Criminal Department, so Li Su specially went to find the prince, and the prince allocated 3,000 Praetorian Guards to Li Su with full command from him.
When is the best time to arrest someone, naturally in the dead of night, you can also avoid accidental injury.
So that night, Li Su divided the 3,000 forbidden army and the people from the Criminal Department into three teams, and the people from the Criminal Department led the team to arrest Yan Minggui, Zhang Feng and Song Yuandao.
A big operation was quietly carried out in the night, and many of the people who were arrested were already crushed to the ground before they could react.
In the night, the perpetrators of the crime continued to cry in their homes, waking up many neighbors.
But when they went out and saw the officers and soldiers with torches, they did not invite the children back to the house and pretended that nothing had happened, and sometimes people had to pretend that they were dumb and deaf.
The capital was very lively this night, and it was finally quiet until the sky was slightly bright.
……
On this morning, many officials found that the hall was empty, and there were several fewer colleagues around.
There was a lot of commotion in the capital last night, but I don't know who led the team, after all, there is more than one person who can arrest people in this court.
There are also people who have a way to know that it was the Criminal Department that cooperated with the forbidden army to arrest people yesterday, and their eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over Li Su's body, but they don't know what was wrong with those people who were caught.
Sun Chaoyuan's face was ugly, because he found out that his household servant did not come to the court today, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
In fact, this feeling was there as early as when Yihong Mansion was seized, and the person behind Yihong Mansion was him, after all, this business makes money, but it doesn't sound good to say, so he has no connection with Yihong Mansion on the surface.
The matter has always been entrusted to his uncle to help manage, and there has been no problem, Sun Chaoyuan has not suspected that someone is deliberately targeting him.
However, he had never suspected Li Su, although the two of them had never been at odds, he knew that Li Su was not such a person.
He believes in what he does behind his back, but he doesn't believe that he fabricates accusations and excludes dissidents.
So there is a real thing in Yihong Mansion nine times out of ten, after perceiving this, he keenly put away all his movements, he felt that someone was targeting him behind his back, and it was more wrong to do more at this time.
Yesterday's movement in the capital was not small, he knew what happened last night on the way to the court, since Jiang Ming was arrested, he faintly felt a feeling that the mountain rain was coming, and now it has really come true.
After discovering that among the people who disappeared from the court was his subordinate Yan Minggui, his face sank, and his heart ached.
I felt that someone was feeling more and more intense about him before, Yan Minggui was his henchman in the household department, what happened to him!
Sun Chaoyuan closed his eyes vigorously, he had a vague guess in his heart about the truth about Yan Minggui's arrest, but he didn't want to believe that the guess was true.
He regards Yan Minggui as his confidant, except for the affairs of the household department, that is, many of his own things are entrusted to Yan Minggui, if something really happens to Yan Minggui, then he ......
Looking at the empty hall, the courtiers were all worried, and it seemed that something big had happened to arrest so many courtiers in one go.
"Your Majesty has arrived—" Su Yumao sang.
Hearing that Emperor Jianzhang had arrived, the courtiers below knelt on the ground with a hula la.
"Ministers, see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" The courtiers said in unison.
Emperor Jianzhang walked to the dragon chair, sat down, looked at the vacant position in the main hall, and looked at the expression in his eyes, "Calm down." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the courtiers got up, they all bowed their heads, and they didn't see half of what they had been before.
Looking at them like this, Emperor Jianzhang smiled, they would look at their eyes, they were eager to fight in the court on weekdays, and now they know that An Sheng.
"There are a lot of people in this court today." Emperor Jianzhang said.
Listening to the coldness and sarcasm in Emperor Jianzhang's words, many people in the hall lowered their heads by two points.
Looking at their appearance, Emperor Jianzhang sneered and asked curiously, "What?" Is there gold on this floor today, and what are the Aiqing people looking down at? ”
Emperor Jianzhang was trying to suppress the anger in his heart at the moment, and Emperor Jianzhang had already expected that Jiang Ming would definitely install his own people in the court.
After all, it was impossible for the imperial court to be impregnable, but he never thought that there would be so many Jiang Ming's people in his imperial court.
It's still solid, in his opinion, the loopholes in this court are like a broken sieve!
Hearing the suppressed anger in Emperor Jianzhang's words, the courtiers raised their heads slightly, but they still didn't dare to gasp.
Of course, there are also people who behave normally, such as Li Su, Si Qiming, Si Qili, and Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who are high-ranking and have nothing to do with Jiang Ming.
Anyway, they have nothing to do with Jiang Ming, they don't do bad things, they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what are they afraid of.
But there are also some people who have nothing to do with Jiang Ming, and they are also panicked in their hearts, although they know that this matter cannot involve themselves, but the anger from His Majesty is not something they can bear.
At this moment, Li Su stood up.
"Your Majesty, please punish you!" Li Su lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground.
His actions startled the people around him, didn't Li Su just arrest so many people, he should have made a meritorious service, why did he suddenly ask for punishment again?
"Aiqing has just made a great contribution, what is the crime?" For Li Su, Emperor Jianzhang's attitude is good.
"Jiang Ming died in the prison of the Criminal Department a few days ago, please ask Your Majesty to take care of the crime of laxity." Li Su said.
The courtiers in the palace looked at Emperor Jianzhang and Li Su, but no one said anything, in fact, if this was as usual, the old school would have been eager to condemn Li Su.
But today the situation is uncertain, and they do not dare to act rashly.
Instead, they suspected that His Majesty should have known about this matter a long time ago, after all, how could Li Su hide such a big matter for so many days without saying it.
Maybe this is a play played by His Majesty and Li Su.
Many people thought to themselves: Well, it must be so, so they won't be fooled!
