Chapter 522

On a snowy night, the door of the palace was illuminated by a burning torch.

Hold Qi ā The imperial guards of the patrol camp with crossbows are in full readiness. All the servants of the royal residence have been arrested. Just now, there were five or six people. All the housekeeper servants who shouted to clean up the land war have become shrinking quails and knelt on the snow trembling.

Tan Songcheng, the chief minister of Dali temple, held his head high and his face was full of sarcasm.

What about the prince? I'm Zhengqing of Dali temple. I'm selfless and upright. I will never bow to powerful powers. Don't think I'll be afraid of you if there are soldiers in hand.

Su Lu squinted at Tan Songcheng: "Tan Songcheng, if you don't try this case today, you will be tried."

Tan Songcheng laughed: "Lord, don't think you can run around the world with military power in your hand. I Tan Songcheng is an official of the imperial court, his Majesty's minister, not your prince an's door guest and running dog."

Su Lu waved his hand: "pingqi, Lord Tan's resume has been found. Pick the defective ones and read them to Lord Tan, so that he can recall his mistakes."

Pingqi picked up a fold and looked at Tan Songcheng with a smile: "Lord Tan, you don't want to face, that's sorry."

"Tan Songcheng is from Weiyuan County, Shazhou. His father is Tan Wang, a big family in the county. He has studied poetry and books hard since childhood. He has tried to be a middle school student at the age of 16, a middle school scholar at the age of 19, a middle school student at the age of 25, and a scholar at the age of 31."

Tan Songcheng's face is full of pride. This is his brilliant front body. Although there are many ups and downs in the middle, it's good to be able to lift in the middle at the age of 31.

As soon as pingqi's voice turned, he began to say Tan Songcheng's evil.

"At the age of 18, I molested my maid Xiaochun and forced her to death."

"Married at the age of 19, married the daughter of Qian Cheng, a big family in the county, and forced Qian's daughter to death before participating in the palace examination."

"After becoming an official, I married the concubine of Lu Shilang of the Ministry of punishment. Lu's face was ugly and was not popular with Lord tan. Since I got married, I haven't completed my house yet. I don't know if Lu Shilang knows about it?"

Ping Qi smiled and looked at the Minister of punishment who was escorted nearby.

As soon as Lu Shilang's face changed, he looked at Tan Songcheng and was full of ferocity.

"Tan Songcheng, is that true?"

Tan Songcheng's face changed slightly, but he still said stubbornly: "father-in-law, don't listen to the slander of villains and guard treacherous and cunning villains. These are false accusations."

Su Lu waved his hand: "that's all? It's not enough for me to kill Tan Songcheng."

Ping Qi's eyes lit up. Since the Lord wants to kill him, it's easy to do.

He took a folding note from the capital captain of the nearby Dingxiang Wei, and said calmly and cautiously:

"Lord, this is a trip to the capital. You can't see it unless your majesty and Lord."

Su Lu took the fold and took a look. His face immediately became ugly, and a handful of the fold was still on the ground.

"Tan Songcheng"

Tan Songcheng's face trembled, and his fear and fear surged into his heart. Did he find out all the secret things he did on weekdays.

Su Lu looked around and said in a cold voice: "Lord Tan, the ancients said that gentle animals. Did they say you, Tan Songcheng?"

"Somebody, take Tan Songcheng down and kill him on the spot."

Tan Songcheng panicked: "Lord, I'm the imperial court official. You can't kill me."

"Kill me, you can't tell the court."

"The imperial clan doubted you and killed me. The imperial clan will certainly seize your power and let you die."

Su Lu sneered: "then don't bother you, Lord tan. Kill him."

Several forbidden troops of the patrol camp rushed up and pressed Tan Songcheng. With a big knife, Tan Songcheng fell to the ground.

Lu Shilang's face changed slightly. In the past, he impeached the Lord, participated in his support for the army and self-respect, did not pay attention to the important officials of the court, disrespected the imperial family and did not fear his majesty. Now it seems that these crimes are light.

Once the soldiers were in hand, he dared to kill the imperial court ministers without authorization. This is a senior official of the fourth grade. The chief official of Dali Temple cut people off because he didn't even verify a discount.

I'll join him tomorrow. I'll join him in death.

When Tan Songcheng was killed, Su Lu looked at Lu Shilang.

"Lu Shilang, I heard that you married the daughter of the Li family. You can be regarded as a member of the clan?"

Lu Shilang's face changed slightly. Although he made up his mind to impeach Su Lu, he didn't dare to touch Su Lu's bad luck now.

"The old minister dare not regard himself as a clan. Although his wife is the daughter of the clan, the old minister is an old minister and his wife is a wife."

"Today, I will try this case myself. I must be fair and strict and never be selfish."

Lu Shilang took the initiative to pick up the case file and began the trial.

Su Lu watched and had to say that Lu Shilang was able to be the Shilang of the Ministry of punishment. He still had his own ability. There were dozens of Diao slaves in the palace. In addition to the elderly housekeeper, all the others who were guilty were clearly screened.

Lu Shilang finished dealing with the servants of the palace and sorted the files. Then he saluted Su Lu with a fist.

"My Lord, I have finished what you ordered. These people are bold enough to send them to the punishment department tomorrow and ask them to be beheaded after autumn."

Su Lu sneered: "when will the punishment Department nod when I work?"

"In the land war, according to the screening of the road waiter, the head should be cut off. Now cut off the head."

When the land war said hello, dozens of guards came forward, dragged out a group of servants in the cry of the servants of the palace, and cut off their heads in front of the road waiter.

The fish belly white rose in the East. I don't know when the snow has stopped. The red sun poked its head out of the fish belly white and illuminated the capital.

Lu Shilang saluted Su Lu with a fist: "Lord, the time to go to the court is coming. If nothing happens, I'll leave now."

Su Lu waved his hand and signaled Lu Shilang to help himself.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Su Lu told the old housekeeper, "deal with all these well. It's also your lax discipline and cronyism that caused such a great disaster. I won't punish you. You just know what to do in the future."

The old housekeeper knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "I know. I'm blind, but I don't want to delegate power. This has led to such a disaster. They deserve to die, but they have ruined the reputation of the Lord. I deserve to die."

Su Lu waved his hand: "OK, I didn't say to let you die. Just deal with the things here. Young master Biao and miss Biao told me that although you do things unfairly, you can serve them well. For your sake, you don't have a big mistake, that's all."

Changning led a group of bodyguards to the palace. Changning jumped out of the carriage, bowed and said:

"Lord, your majesty knows you're back. He ordered me to come and ask you to go back and have a rest."

Su Lu nodded and ordered them to entertain Li Dazhuang in the palace. Then he got on the carriage and followed Changning.

Looking at the back of the bodyguard team, Li Dazhuang wanted to stop talking.

"General Lu, you are the prince's personal bodyguard. Why didn't you follow into the palace?"

Li Dazhuang finally couldn't help asking.

Lu Zhan looked puzzled: "isn't the palace safe enough? Why, does someone in the palace want to secretly harm the Lord?"

Lu Zhan said, pressing the long knife around his waist.

Pingqi quickly stopped the land war: "don't think about it. The Lord is the pillar of the country. His Majesty's husband. How can someone in the palace threaten the Lord."

"Dazhuang, you are right to worry about the safety of the Lord, but you can't talk nonsense."

Looking at the distant motorcade, pingqi said with some worry:

"I'm afraid the Lord will be accused this time. He's good at killing court officials and cutting off so many heads in the street. I don't know how many copies the Lord will be involved again."
