West City Gate.

The city gate guard stopped the mourning car and scolded him sharply.

"Stop and check!"

"Fourth Brother Yu, why are you stricter today?"

Li Ping'an jumped out of the car, and with a touch of his cuffs, the silver beans fell into the palm of the city gatekeeper's hand.

Fourth Brother Yu lifted his belt without a trace, and the silver beans hid it, and his attitude was much kinder, explaining.

"The Terracotta Division is investigating the rebels, and all carriages and horses, including official sedan chairs, must be searched."

Traitor!

Li Ping'an was shocked in his heart, the nature of the previous imperial court was "bewitchment", but now it has been expanded.

Fourth Brother Yu didn't dislike the bad luck of the corpses, so he looked through the corpses one by one, probed the breath pulse, and inserted the stickers into his chest one by one.

"The mortuary has been busy lately, hasn't it?"

"Busy, busy!"

Li Ping'an has been idle for two years, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but fortunately, the goods he touched continued the two broken internal strengthening exercises.

A few more big cases, enough for the whole body to be exercised!

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, how can we build happiness on the destruction of others......

Li Ping'an persuaded himself to be kind, waited for the funeral car to be checked, got in the car and walked out of the West City Gate.

Outside the city gates.

The queue stretched for several miles, including ordinary people and merchants, as well as dignitaries.

At this time, no one dared to make trouble, touched His Majesty's moldy head, and buttoned the hat of the East Palace to bewitch him, and there was no place to bury.

The guards at the city gate searched very carefully, and when they saw watermelons, they had to cut them and taste them, and when they saw dates, they had to grab a handful of dates, and they searched their bodies when they didn't have anything.

Don't have copper coins?

Then you have to interrogate carefully, what are you doing in the city!

The common people dare not speak out, they can only explain and beg for mercy, and if they can't do it, they kneel down and kowtow a few times.

In the early years, when Li Ping'an saw this scene, he would scold a few words in his heart for dog officials, imps and so on, but now he doesn't even have a trace of sympathy.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water.

Eating watermelons by the city gates, eating prisoners by relying on the prison, and searching for corpses by the mortuary are all the same truth, and no one is noble or despicable.

The common people are like cows, horses, and leeks, so they naturally sit and eat wherever they want.

Half an hour later.

Mass graves.

As desolate as ever, a lot of waste is buried, and there is no vegetation in the summer.

"The yang energy is too strong, the grass and trees are not prosperous, and it is not a good burial ground."

Li Ping'an read the Taoist scriptures for several years, learned some ways to look at feng shui, and then came to the mass grave to give birth to new views.

Lonely hills, rough and stubborn stones, grass and trees are not prosperous, and Broken Dragon Gang ......

Everywhere does not conform to the feng shui auspicious points, the people buried here do not say that they will benefit the future generations, and the nine clans will be regarded as merit and body protection.

"It has nothing to do with us, dig a pit and bury people."

Li Ping'an wielded a shovel and dug a big pit without stopping.

"The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoyou, the ghost of everything, the four lives are ......"

Reciting the mantra of the Daomen's rebirth, the corpses were thrown into the pit, sensing the growth of wisps of merit, and satisfying the backfilling of the grave.

There was a corpse left in the car at the end, the old leader of Shi Chapa.

Sun Guanying!

The largest official in the prison is the eight-rank prison, under which there are five nine-rank officials, including the school captain, the chief bookkeeper, the prison, the camp management, and the punishment, each performing their duties, and now half of them have been dismissed.

"It is said that the heavenly prison is a safe official, and the hereditary nine-grade hat, there are too many deaths this time, right?"

Li Ping'an pressed the doubts in his heart and looked for a pure realm for Sun Guanying alone.

dug more than a dozen places, and finally buried Sun Guanying.

On the way back to the city.

Li Ping'an suddenly thought of something, and looked back at the mass grave.

"What's all the dry bones?"

……

戌時.

The palace is brightly lit.

Emperor Jianwu was expressionless in his review, and Gonggong Kang waited cautiously on the side.

Nearly half a year.

Your Majesty's mood flickered brightly and darkly, and the thirteen supervisors and admirals of the Inner Chamberlain Division had already fallen off the horse, and all of them were beheaded and exiled to a one-stop package.

The attendant on duty at the door came in: "Your Majesty, Su Xiu asks to see you." ”

The waiter in the East Palace is only Su Mingyuan's part-time job, and the real position is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, but the former is much more promising than the latter.

Emperor Jianwu's eyes were gloomy, and he was silent for a long time and said, "Let him in." ”

Su Mingyuan entered the hall three times and bowed nine times, shouting: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

"Su Aiqing is duplicitous."

Emperor Jianwu sneered: "How did I hear that there is a forty-year-old prince from the mouth of Su Aiqing? ”

"I really hope that Your Majesty will live a long life."

Su Mingyuan didn't admit it or deny it, and added another sentence in his heart, at least he lived longer than the prince.

Emperor Jianwu snorted coldly: "Su Aiqing came to see her late at night, what happened?" ”

Su Mingyuan said loudly: "Minister, report the prince's rebellion!" ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Jianwu sat up straight: "What evidence does Su Aiqing have?" Falsely accusing the East Palace, but the crime of punishing the nine clans! ”

Su Mingyuan said: "The minister was in the East Palace not long ago, and found out that the prince was conspiring with the Marquis of Weiyuan, and he had already rectified the people, so he immediately came to report. ”

"Su Aiqing, you are really loyal to the monarch and the country!"

Since Emperor Jianwu ascended the throne, he has seen a lot of people who are yang and yin, and no one can compare to Su Mingyuan's acting.

As soon as the words changed, he suddenly asked, "What does Su Aiqing think of the bewitching Donggong case?" ”

"Your Majesty licks the calves deeply and is paving the way for the prince."

Su Mingyuan said: "The ministers investigated the officials who should be implicated, and most of the dead were the children of the family, or the officials close to the family, and the officials of the poor family were safely locked in prison. ”

In the case of bewitching the East Palace, the evidence is conclusive, and the prince did invite a warlock.

At first, I only thought about prolonging my life, but I found it too difficult, so I thought about reducing the life of Emperor Jianwu to achieve the goal of relative longevity.

As a result, the Zhenfu Division was in a pot, implicating countless officials close to the East Palace.

"The people who died in my hands, if not 100,000, but also 80,000, how can there be any affection."

Emperor Jianwu motioned to Gonggong Kang to fetch a cushion, found a comfortable position to lie down, and continued: "It's just that the day is not a holiday, and there is no time to change the prince." ”

When the words fell, the faces of the maids in the palace changed suddenly, and some of the words were capital crimes when they heard them.

"Your Majesty, the art of the emperor is innate, and no Ming Jun has taught it."

Su Mingyuan said: "Your Majesty connived at the expansion of the case and let the officials bite it, not only to pave the way for the prince, but also to test the prince's will!" ”

If the pressure of the mountain falls, the prince can sit firmly in the East Palace, and then he can ascend the throne smoothly.

Emperor Jianwu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and many members of the court and central government thought that he wanted to change the crown prince, but he could not see it clearly as a young man.

There is another layer of meaning, which is to take the opportunity to fish for a family.

Sure enough, many officials who scolded the family on weekdays saw the opportunity coming, and in the blink of an eye, they became lackeys waving flags and shouting.

The prince was disloyal and unfilial, and said that if he did not change the prince's dynasty, it would be chaotic.

"I'm curious, what are you for?"

The Zhenfu Division and the Inner Chamberlain Department investigated Su Mingyuan to the bottom and found no suspicions, and it was definitely not the remnants of the puppet dynasty or the remnants of Taizu.

Su Mingyuan glanced at the missing carving in the corner of the wall, and sighed: "The minister is seeking justice for Miss Su......"

"Who is Miss Su?"

"A dancer from the Spring Breeze Building."

"What's it called?"

Su Xiaoyue, originally called Rourou, she felt that it was too dusty, so she took the name Xiaoyue. In order to completely break off the past, he changed Zhang to Su and the general surname of the minister. ”

Su Mingyuan's eyes were slightly red: "How did Xiaoyue know, the minister has never disliked her for any ......"

Emperor Jianwu gave him a look, and Gonggong Kang bowed and retreated.

A moment later.

"Your Majesty, I found it."

Kang Gonggong said: "That is an insignificant Goulan woman, who died at the hands of Qi Qianhu, and it is said that she has saved enough money for Congliang's redemption. ”

The cause of Su Xiaoyue's death is very easy to investigate, and as soon as I ask, I know that because of some relationship with Su Mingyuan, the internal servant has been recorded in the file.

It's just that no one cares, killing a hook woman is no different from killing a sheep and slaughtering a cow.

Emperor Jianwu frowned, still in disbelief.

"Su Aiqing has done so many things, just for an insignificant woman?"

Su Mingyuan tried his best to win the top prize, and now he has become a representative of the northern scholars, as long as he does not die, he will be able to survive to the position of prime minister in the future.

With great authority and wealth, how can you give up for a woman!

"Your Majesty thinks she is insignificant, but the minister doesn't think so."

Su Mingyuan raised his head suddenly, looked directly at Emperor Jianwu and said, "She and I, Your Majesty, father-in-law and everyone, are all the same weight. ”

"Life, in the eyes of the minister, the peddlers, pawns, princes and generals are all the same!"

“……”

Gonggong Kang was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his face was pale, and he secretly scolded Su Mingyuan for talking nonsense, our family's life is not as good as Your Majesty's hair.
