Chapter 1445 The shock of the Ministry of Punishment!
"Why doesn't King Bei come to greet us?"
"It should be soon, after all, Lord Shangshu is here!"
"I think so. Just wait, don't be in a hurry."
All the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment spoke one after another and looked forward to it. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Punishment to come over for negotiation. Many people from the Ministry of Punishment came. In addition to Wang Kunpeng, the Minister, there were also many important officials from the Ministry of Punishment.
Wang Kunpeng clasped his hands behind his back and was full of confidence. He was the patriarch of one of the four major families and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Wherever he went, he was seen as a high-ranking presence.
"Wang Shangshu, my prince invites you to come in."
Mahan returned, cupping his fists.
All the ministers were stunned and looked at each other. This Northern King was so arrogant that he didn't even come out to greet him.
"Is King Bei busy?"
Wang Kunpeng frowned and said.
"My prince is drinking tea in the study, he is not busy with anything."
Mahan replied truthfully.
Wang Kunpeng snorted coldly, feeling vaguely unhappy. His face was livid, and he led the people inside. The other ministers of the Ministry of Punishment were also unhappy.
"I've met King Bei!"
Wang Kunpeng slightly arched his hands as a gift, then sat down without waiting for a response, "Hey, Minister Qiu arrived before me."
Qiu Yutang smiled politely: "Just arrived, just arrived."
"You two, don't be too busy reminiscing about old times."
Li Yang interrupted, "Are all the people in the Criminal Department so unruly? They don't even kneel down when they see me. Why don't you take me seriously?"
Well?
Upon hearing this, all the officials in the Ministry of Punishment turned their attention to Wang Kunpeng. Wang Kunpeng's face became stiff, and he finally stood up and took the lead in kneeling.
There were people kneeling on the ground.
Kowtow three times.
After they stood up after the ceremony, Li Yangcai said: "Wang Shangshu, why are you still kneeling? It's up to the people below. If you don't see it, I will see it. I really have to stop you!"
Wang Kunpeng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's what you should do as a lower official."
Haha, this Li Yang is talking nonsense. He kept moving in slow motion, just waiting for Li Yang to stop him. How could he not see it?
"I wonder if Sir Shangshu has come to my palace to give you any advice?"
Li Yang asked softly.
"I have been ordered by the emperor to come to you to deal with the rebels. We also ask you to cooperate in handing Chu Qiaoer over to us. Our Ministry of Punishment guarantees that she will not suffer any injustice or persecution before she is interrogated and executed."
Wang Kunpeng got straight to the point and said bluntly.
"I'm sorry, I can't hand it over. Since Chu Qiaoer was taken back by me, she promised to be my woman and made me a very comfortable scout. I really can't and can't bear to hand it over."
Li Yang said indifferently.
Enough of this confusion and nonsense.
Her reputation was completely ruined now! Chu Qiaoer in the room next to her blushed again, but somehow she was looking forward to it. If she could really scout Li Yang and make Li Yang feel comfortable, that would be great.
good.
What?
All the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment were dumbfounded and shocked. Chu Qiaoer was a rebel and a repeat offender of Tianya Prison, but Li Yang was actually protecting her. Not only did she not surrender, but she also threatened to be his woman! "King Bei, I'm afraid this is not up to you.
"
"Even if Chu Qiaoer is your woman, I still have to take her away. Tomorrow I will still ask you to behead her at the vegetable market outside the noon gate."
"Okay, be smart and make friends quickly."
Wang Kunpeng's smiling face disappeared and he said coldly, he was originally unhappy with being punished by Li Yang, but now he completely exploded.
Bang! Li Yang raised his hand and threw the cup, and stood up suddenly: "Here comes someone!"
Give an order.
Countless sword-wielding guards received the order, rushed in, surrounded everyone, and stared at them eagerly.
The ministers of the Ministry of Punishment were immediately frightened by this battle. Wang Kunpeng also had his eyelids twitching and felt a little scared.
"King Bei, what do you mean, do you want to rebel?"
Wang Kunpeng asked in a deep voice.
"Even if I rebelled, it was because of you."
Li Yang said in a loud voice, "My woman, you have to take her away and kill her, you special old thing, I think you are tired of living!"
"You! I don't believe you dare to touch me!"
When Wang Kunpeng was scolded, his face turned dark with anger, but he did not have the courage to scold him back. Although his tone was considered tough, he was actually timid.
Although he is an important minister and the patriarch of one of the four major families, he is indeed a scholar like Qiu Yutang and does not know any martial arts, especially now that he is in the North Palace and there are no family masters accompanying him.
"Wang Shangshu says less, say less."
Seeing that the opportunity was right, Qiu Yutang immediately spoke, leaned forward and whispered, "A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. You won't get much advantage by arguing with Li Yang. This Li Yang was born as a warlord and kills people like crazy. I really want to hurt you."
Kill me, what do you think you can do?"
"Brother Yutang, the warlord style of Li Yang is so shameful!"
Wang Kunpeng sighed, "Well, I listen to your advice and just don't care about him."
Forget it, forget it, this Li Yang is a rough guy. To get angry with this kind of person is to lose your identity! "King Bei, you have fallen in love with Chu Qiaoer and don't want to make friends. I can understand it. I won't make it difficult for you, but
The Emperor, I wonder if I can tell you the truth."
Wang Kunpeng changed his attitude and said cautiously.
"Okay, just report it!"
Li Yang agreed directly.
"Farewell!"
Wang Kunpeng cupped his hands and walked away with the others.
After leaving the palace, the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment heaved a long sigh of relief and felt lingering fears. The same was true for Wang Kunpeng, who wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Lord Shangshu, this Northern King is so powerful that we should not provoke him."
"When I came out, I heard his subordinates discussing that King Bei intended to order his Shanhe Army to invade the imperial city."
"Yes, yes, Chu Qiaoer has no holiday with us, so there is no need to offend King Bei over this matter."
The ministers spoke again and said one after another.
Wang Kunpeng pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "You are right, it is indeed not easy to offend King Bei. From the emperor's point of view, I have to put in a good word for King Bei!"
Their conversation was heard clearly by Ma Han and he reported to Li Yang truthfully.
Li Yang subconsciously gave Qiu Yutang a thumbs up. Qiu Yutang looked proud and smiled without saying a word.
