Han Ping couldn't bear the torture, so Su Lu wouldn't feel strange if he died.
But he was shocked to have his meridians broken, survived the torture, and died. This reminded Su Lu of Dongtang Camp guerrilla general Jiang Changfu.
Li Qingming made it clear that there was nothing she could do about Jiang Changfu.
There is an invisible net in Xuanfu, and it seems that there is also such an invisible net in the capital.
Su Lu sat down behind the case, raised his head slightly, and looked at Pang De and Mr. Xiahou in front of the case, his voice full of sarcasm.
"I naturally have no objection to things that neither of you can handle."
"Since Han Ping has recruited them, let's just arrest those Shanxi merchants. Anxi is not far from the capital, so there is no need for me to dispatch the army."
Pang De was dissatisfied with Su Lu's arrogance, but he knew that Su Lu was angry and didn't care.
"You think I am willing to come. Before you, the Dingxiang Army was a bunch of trash. With you, it is only a temporary strength. When you leave, the Dingxiang Army will still become the same as before."
"It's not uncommon for me to come to you and set up an army."
"Your Majesty has spoken, and Su Lu has received the order."
Pang De's face straightened, he stood up straight and said.
At the same time, the old Marquis of Xiahou, several captains of Zhao Pu, and Su Ge, who were sitting on chairs copying notes, all stood up straight.
Su Lu also stood up straight.
Pang De said:
"Order the Dingxiang Army to release the relevant people, and Su Lu will come to the palace to see me immediately."
After Su Lu received the order, Pang De turned around and left without looking back.
The old Marquis of Xiahou pulled up a stool, sat down in front of Su Lu, and said with a smile:
"Xiaolu, don't blame Pang De. There was nothing he could do. The person was fine when he got it into his hands. After a whipping, he discovered that Han Ping's meridians had been severed by the person's internal energy."
"This bunch of Shanxi merchants have actually reached into the Forbidden Army camp. The Forbidden Army has become so corrupt."
As the old marquis said, he took the booklet from Su Ge's hand, looked at it twice, and laughed.
"Han Ping, the grandson of Han Ping, has done a lot of bad things over the years relying on his power as the eldest son of the emperor. I didn't expect that his backyard would be so dirty. It's really disgusting."
Su Lu stood up, picked up the bag and put it on his head, and asked the old Marquis:
"You old man came to my place just to see the confession, right?"
The old Marquis glared at Su Lu: "Why, you don't welcome me?"
Su Lu waved his hands repeatedly. This old man dared to ridicule Pound in front of the emperor, and beat up the emperor's eldest son's cousin in front of the emperor's eldest son. He couldn't offend him, he couldn't offend him.
"I don't dare to refuse to welcome you. I'm not going to meet the emperor. If you have something important to do, I'll deal with it with you first before I go."
The old Marquis waved his hand, and his expression suddenly became awkward:
"It's not a big deal. It's just that you suddenly made the Dingxiang army so good. This formation diagram..."
Su Lu yelled at Zhao Pu: "Go and give the old Marquis a copy of the formation map I wrote."
The old Marquis took the formation diagram handed over by Zhao Pu, his eyes were bent, and he asked Zhao Pu with a smile:
"How is your father's injury? That useless thing Zuo Guangping, when he comes to Beijing next year to report on his work, I will vent my anger on your father again."
When Zhao Pu heard this, he smiled bitterly: "Master Hou is interested. My father's injury has been greatly healed, but the road cannot be walked."
When the old Marquis heard this, his face darkened, his fingers holding the array diagram tightened, and his knuckles turned a little white, and he let out a long sigh, the old man's voice was a little dull.
"That's good. He spent half his life in the army and can enjoy his old age in peace. Boy Zhao is good. He can still have you, a mud monkey, to take care of him in his old age. This boy is good."
The old Marquis' mood was obviously depressed. He walked out of the camp and walked outside. Several soldiers hurriedly followed him.
Su Lu looked at the back of the old Marquis and asked Zhao Pu: "Why do I feel that something is wrong with the old Marquis?"
Li Lin said next to him: "The old Marquis's only grandson will be executed soon because of murder. Last year, the trial was concluded, and Dali Temple sentenced him to be executed after the trial. The old Marquis must have thought of his grandson just now."
Su Lu nodded when he heard this, complaining that the old man's sudden change of mood just now had touched a sad place.
After giving instructions about the affairs in the camp, Su Lu took Su Ge and rode towards the palace.
When the two arrived at the palace gate, they saw Li Qing sitting on the palace guard's chair and taking a nap, with several female guards standing next to him. The palace guards in gorgeous armor stood in the distance, guarding the palace gate.
Seeing Su Lu coming, Changning woke up Li Qing.
Li Qing opened his hazy sleepy eyes, stood up, and called Su Lu: "Let's go, my father has been waiting for you for a long time."
The two of them walked towards the palace, one behind the other.
The corridor into the palace was quite long. The two of them walked for half a quarter of an hour before exiting the corridor. A young eunuch came up to them and led them across the Hanshui Bridge and Panlong Road before arriving at the Qinzheng Hall.
The two of them climbed the steps. The imperial guard guarding the door glanced at Su Lu and ordered his sergeants to open the door of the main hall.
"Your Majesty has ordered that Governor Su is here. You can go in directly."
Su Lu smiled and said hello, then followed Li Qing into the Qinzheng Hall.
In the large hall, Li Dingyuan was sitting on the dragon chair to deal with the matter at noon. A mountain of memorials were piled on the desk, and a dozen young eunuchs were passing the memorials back and forth.
There are several large stoves burning against the wall, and the hall is warm, without the chill of winter at all.
When the two of them arrived at the imperial steps, Li Qing bowed and said, "Father, Su Lu is here."
Li Dingyuan raised his head, glanced at Su Lu, then lowered his head, made instructions on the fold, handed the fold to the little eunuch next to him, then stretched and stood up.
"You two are here."
Li Dingguo's voice was full of fatigue, as if all the anxiety and uneasiness were released in this question.
Li Qing bowed and said: "Father, you urgently summoned Su Lu into the palace, and even I can't tell you what happened?"
Li Dingyuan glanced at the young eunuchs in the hall. The leader, the father-in-law, waved his hand knowingly, and a group of young eunuchs exited the hall. The leader, the father-in-law, also bowed down the imperial steps and stood at the door of the hall.
Li Dingyuan walked to the imperial steps and sat down on the steps.
"Do you know about the death of Han Ping, the head of the Household Department?"
"That's the prison of our imperial army. Someone sneaked in, which shocked Han Ping's heart."
"Is it that Pound is incompetent, or that Pound has been corrupted? If Han Ping hadn't said the word "Shan merchants" before his death, I still wouldn't have known that high-ranking officials of the imperial court colluded with Shanxi merchants, had an affair with Thule, and destroyed Tulle.
The foundation of our Han Dynasty."
Li Dingyuan roared for a while, seeming to feel tired, then he stopped and coughed repeatedly.
Li Qing went up the imperial steps and beat his back for a long time before Li Dingguo finally stopped coughing.
Patting Li Qing's hand, Li Dingguo turned to Su Lu in the audience:
"Have all the servants in the Han Ping Mansion completed the trial? Have you brought the confession?"
Su Lu took out the written confession, and Li Qing walked down the imperial steps, took the memorial, and forwarded it to Li Dingyuan.
Li Dingyuan read the confession, his face was full of disappointment, and he sighed.
"My son, I am so disappointed."
"Su Lu, can I believe you?"
Li Dingguo looked at Su Lu with bright eyes.
Su Lu was shocked when he heard this. What's the situation? Is Li Dingguo planning to make great use of me?
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Since Li Dingguo had already doubted Pound, it was natural that Pound would not be able to stay in the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Forbidden Army.
"I'm a lazy person. It's okay to lead troops to fight occasionally. For the matter of staying in Miyagi City, I think the princess is more suitable than me."
Li Dingguo raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Lu: "You don't want to?"
