The truth was just as Lu Chen expected.

When he asked the other people, the old man among those people was killed, and only he survived, and the woman was bullied, and when she was about to be slaughtered by the soldiers of Qingzhou Wei, she was rescued by Yuzhou Wei, who rushed to Yuzhouwei, and the child witnessed his father being killed and his mother was insulted and died......

Almost all of them hate Qingzhou Wei who was locked in a prison car not far away, and in their hearts, there is almost only the obsession of seeking justice for their relatives, as long as they can see those Qingzhou guards ambushed, even if they let them die, they are willing.

They are not even afraid of death, and they are naturally not afraid of soul searching.

After listening to everyone's story, Lu Chen fell silent.

The heaviness of his heart made him feel breathless.

"I know."

There was silence for a long time before he slowly spoke.

There was an indescribable tiredness in his voice.

"When the official goes back, he will draft a recital, and tomorrow morning, the official will definitely play it to His Majesty, as long as this matter is true, these villains will definitely be punished as they deserve."

As soon as the words ended, everyone looked happy.

Immediately afterwards, Xi'er, the elder sister of the two sisters who was the first to speak, suddenly asked, "My lord, dare to ask what punishment those beasts will receive if the crime is confirmed?" ”

As soon as she opened her mouth to ask, her sister Yue'er next to her continued: "Please don't misunderstand, it's not that our sisters don't trust you, it's just... We want to know what happened to those brutes, and if we can't see them beheaded for public display, we sisters... I can't be willing to die even if I am afraid! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly sank.

Yes, even if Lu Chen administers justice for them, if he just punishes them in the end, then their relatives... And how to look at it?

"Don't worry."

Lu Chen said in a deep voice:

"Knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is added to one degree, and these beasts who kill people and take good deeds are also a capital crime at the lightest."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, sir!"

The two sisters bowed to Lu Chen at the same time.

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu.

"Changyu, you settle them down first, and as for these suspects, they will be escorted directly to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Yes! Your Excellency the Governor. ”

Zhang Yu responded loudly.

At the same time, inside the Tung Hwa Pavilion.

Yan Song, who was about to be on duty, was squinting his eyes at this time, looking at the uninvited guest in front of him.

The right attendant of the ministry, Cao Siming.

"I don't know why Cao Shilang is here?"

Cao Si saluted Yan Song in the morning, and then said straight to the point: "Ask Yan Ge to uphold justice for Qingzhou Wei!" ”

Yan Song said lightly: "What kind of justice do you want?" ”

Cao Siming said solemnly: "Seek a justice that can make the officers and men of the Qingning Army settle down and continue to be loyal to the imperial court and kill the enemy, that is, to protect the overall situation." ”

Hearing this, Yan Song only coughed lightly twice.

"Before that, you tell me, what is the relationship between Tang Bin, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, and you?"

Cao Siming's eyes shook slightly.

"Elder Yan Ge, this is a small section, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

"Nope."

Yan Song shook his head.

"That's the big picture."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Siming frowned.

"What does Yan Ge Lao mean by this?"

Yan Song sighed inexplicably.

"Cao Shilang, you are a smart person, the old man said this, you must understand, once you get acquainted, you can't pretend to be confused in front of the old man."

After a pause, he stroked his long beard lightly and continued: "Being in the officialdom, family affairs and state affairs are nothing more than the word interests, everything should be in line with the interests of the people, and if it is not in line with the interests, it will stop, this sentence, come to think of it, you shouldn't need the old man to remind you, right?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Siming's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper.

"Yan Ge really doesn't want to fight for the overall situation of the court?"

Faced with this direct questioning, Yan Song just lowered his eyes, walked to the Taishi chair on the side, and sat down expressionlessly.

"There are some things that can be fought for, should be fought for, and must be fought for, but there are some things that cannot be fought for, and there is no need to fight."

The withered right hand tapped back and forth on the coffee table, making a regular sound.

"As an official, think twice before acting, and ......"

"Although this Great Xia Dynasty is not a world with one family and one surname, if someone can rule the world with supreme power and control the heavens and the earth, this world may not be owned by one person."

Click...

I don't know what came to mind, Cao Siming subconsciously took a step back, and his face changed uncertainly.

"Cao Shilang."

Yan Song's five fingers of his right hand stopped swinging.

"That's all the old man says, as for how you choose, that's your own business, and the old man has no right to interfere."

Saying that, he slowly picked up the teacup on the side, and said indifferently: "It's not too early, if there is nothing else, Cao Shilang will go back first, now the position of the secretary is high, Ye Shilang has hated Lu Chen again, and His Majesty is disgusted, if Cao Shilang is interested in this, he might as well think about it after he goes back, what is the thing to fight, what is the thing that must be disputed, and what is not to be done." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Siming completely understood that Yan Song, who had not fallen for more than ten years, could not be counted on.

So he stopped talking nonsense.

"I'm tired of the old Yan Pavilion for teaching, and the lower officials will come to the door another day to thank you and say goodbye."

Yan Song coughed twice and said softly, "Cao Shilang walks slowly." ”

Cao Siming turned to leave.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Yan Song shook his head inexplicably.

"It's a good knife, but it's a pity."

He muttered to himself with emotion, then looked away slightly, looking at the sky outside that was gradually fading, and a pair of cloudy old eyes gradually became deeper.

"What is the world of one person like, since it is decided by this person's word, how can others interfere? Under the holy king, there are all ants, and the mantis arm is used as a car, what is its strength? If you don't leave a useful body, how can you plan for great things? ”

……………

The next day, the morning dynasty.

Without the slightest hesitation, at the moment when the Great Worship had just ended, Lu Chen stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."

Seeing that he couldn't wait so much, Cao Siming's face suddenly sank, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Chengwan's face did not change in the slightest, obviously expecting it, but he still asked knowingly: "Lu Qing, please speak." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen got up, and then told what happened when he was on duty yesterday with a straight face.

As he spoke, the ministers had different expressions, and many of them looked contemplative, as if they were planning something.

But until Lu Chen finished speaking, no one stood up to interrupt or stop him, everyone became an excellent listener, and silently listened to Lu Chen's statement, even Qian Yiqian, who was the most noisy in the past, didn't seem to hear it at this time, and didn't react at all.

"The minister requests that the three divisions be tried, presided over by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and all the military attaches of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will participate in the trial at the same time to try this case together!"

In the end, Lu Chen bowed down again, and his words were sincere, obviously to be more serious to the end.

As soon as the words fell, Cao Siming went out directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister opposes what Lu Shangshu said."

He first directly expressed his attitude, and then said: "The temple only talks about the major events in the world, everything must be based on my Great Xia's Jiangshan Sheji, and the overall situation is the priority, and now the army of counterinsurgency in Tianlan Province is not only Yuzhou Wei and Sui Zhou Wei, Qingzhou Wei and other Qingning army guards are also fighting bravely to kill the enemy, fighting to the death with the anti-thieves, putting aside the truth or falsehood of this matter, right or wrong, at this critical juncture, if the imperial court wants to cure the crime of Qingzhou Wei for some trivial things, the guards fighting on the front line must be in turmoil and have no intention of suppressing thieves. ”

"If the thieves are given a chance to breathe, they will definitely become thieves and harm the provinces, and even make a comeback one day, and there will be endless troubles in the future."

Speaking of this, his eyes became extremely solemn, and he looked worried about the country and the people.

"Wechen is not arguing for the guilty, if the facts are really as Lu Shangshu said, Wechen will never intercede for these scum, but there are priorities, there are priorities, there are priorities, the top priority is to quell the rebellion in Tianlan Province, so the army's heart must not be turbulent, otherwise the army has no fighting spirit, only Yu and Sui Liangwei how to suppress the thieves? Therefore, Weichen suggested that this matter should be put on hold for the time being, and then make plans when the dust settles on the matter of Tianlan Province. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers looked at Cao Siming.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for them to ponder Cao Siming's words, Tang Yue, the left attendant of the military department, came out of the line with a wat board in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Cao Shilang is reasonable, now the war in Tianlan Province has reached a critical time, and the elimination of thieves and the peace of the world is just around the corner. ”

Another big guy who is in the third grade stood up, and the faces of the others finally changed.

Today's atmosphere is a little wrong......

And as the second-in-command of the Ministry of Officials and the second-in-command of the Ministry of War spoke out one after another to oppose it, their people also came out one after another.

Jiang Chengwan looked at the scene in front of her expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu lips opened lightly, she spoke slowly, and said unhurriedly:

"For the sake of the so-called overall situation, the court should let them do whatever they want first, right?"
