Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh accidental break
In front of the Sanfa Si Yamen, Justice Minister Shen Li led a group of officials to wait for Su Lu.
The female official who conveyed the message had arrived long ago, and Su Lu wanted to inspect the officials of the Three Laws Division.
Old God Shen Li was standing there, with several deputy ministers and assistant officers standing next to him, looking longingly at the crossroads not far away.
Deputy Qing Zhang Mo suddenly asked Shen Li:
"Master Shen, the prince's sudden visit to the Sanfa Division could not be because of the incident with the Snow Barbarians, right?"
Shen Lisheng had a fat head, big ears, a shiny face, and a big belly. It was a bit difficult to stand. Hearing this, he said irritably:
"I'm not the roundworm in the prince's belly. How do I know why the prince wants to come to our Sanfa Division?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Even if we are wrong, we will only get a few slaps and a month's salary."
After Zhang Mo heard the words, he wiped the sweat on his head and sighed. Shen Li was born in a family of officials and served as the chief officer of the Three Laws Department. He was a relative of the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple, so he could go smoothly for more than ten years.
I can't do it myself. I passed five tests and killed six generals, and finally passed the imperial examination. I worked hard for more than ten years to reach my current position. I have to think carefully about why the prince came to Sanfa Division.
After calling the assistant officer next to him, Zhang Mo asked a few questions and reviewed the many case files in his hand. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he felt relieved.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves on the stone road was heard at the crossroads, and a group of forbidden troops came over.
"coming"
Zhang Mo reminded Shen Li, who was dozing off, with some uneasiness in his tone. The prince might have really come for the Snow Barbarians when he came this time. Lord Shen might have set a big trap this time by letting Huerhachi go.
Shen Li cheered up, adjusted his official robes, and waited for Su Lu to arrive.
Zhang Mo looked at the carriage in the distance and became more and more anxious. If the prince asked about it, what should he do?
Looking at the blood stains on the carriage, Zhang Mo was stunned. There were actually blood stains on the prince's carriage!
How is it possible that the prince is the military god of the Han Dynasty, a person who is inferior to one person but above ten thousand people, and there are blood stains on his carriage?
unless……
Thinking of that possibility, Zhang Mo was stunned. Anyone who dared to assassinate the prince would be doing something wrong.
"Are you Shen Li?"
The crisp voice suddenly pulled Zhang Mo out of his panic. Her Royal Highness the Princess in purple robe jumped out of the carriage, looked at Shen Li and asked.
Zhang Mo's eyes rolled rapidly, thinking about what he knew and how he should respond to the prince's inquiry later.
Su Lu stood on the shaft of the car, looked at Shen Li, and suddenly asked:
"Shen Li, I was assassinated by a barbarian on my way here just now. Wasn't this arranged by you?"
Shen Li's fat face turned pale, and sweat immediately flowed from his forehead. He looked at Su Lu in confusion and didn't say a word for a long time.
The prince was assassinated?
Shen Li suddenly became frightened. The prince was the military god of the Han Dynasty. He was notorious for killing people without calculation. He had just wiped out a whole martial arts sect not long ago. If he knew that he had accepted gifts from Xue Man and Master Qian.
Then it's over.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shen Li said hoarsely:
"Your Highness Mingjian, Xiaguan, Xiaguan is just a civil servant, how can he know about the assassination?"
"The Xueman people were let go, and I don't blame Xiaguan. I was acting under the orders of Master Qian and other ministers. The orders of the adults."
Shen Li was afraid of death, so he sold Qian Qianyi without hesitation.
Su Lu was a little disappointed when he heard this. He originally thought that even if Shen Li was a corrupt official, he should be a capable corrupt official. Now it seems that he is just a waste. He doesn't know how such a waste became the Minister of Justice of the Three Laws Division.
"Someone came and kidnapped Shen Li. Who is the deputy minister?"
Zhang Mo quickly knelt down and said respectfully:
"I am lowering my rank to Zhang Mo, and I am going to see the prince."
Su Lu asked and said:
"Do you know the whole story of this Xueman thing?"
Zhang Mo didn't dare to hide anything, so he told what he knew. Even the message he received from Xueman's gift and Qian Qianyi's message was clearly explained.
Su Lu nodded:
"Well, from now on, you will be the Minister of Justice of the Three Laws Division, in charge of the affairs of the Three Laws Division. Let me interrogate Shen Li first. I want to see how corrupt the Han Dynasty court is."
Zhang Mo looked stern when he heard this. The prince is trying to overthrow the imperial court. The Shen Li family is involved in many things. In this trial, some of the six ministers may fall.
"Why, you don't dare?"
Su Lu asked Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo gritted his teeth. He came from a poor family, so what should he be afraid of?
"Back to your lord, I am a low-ranking official with a small position, so I cannot try Mr. Shen. This matter involves too many areas, and the Minister of Justice cannot restrain the officials involved. I am afraid that if the trial starts today, I will be dead on the street tomorrow." ."
Su Lu nodded:
"Okay, you have the guts."
"Since you have the courage, I naturally support it. You can call the Dingxiang Guards, Secret Guards, and Rebels at will. From today on, the patrol battalion will be divided into a guard battalion, which will be exclusively assigned to you by the Three Laws Division."
"Gao Dabao, allocate a fire guard to protect the safety of Mr. Zhang and his family. If something happens to Mr. Zhang, come and see him."
After the distribution was completed, Su Lu asked Zhang Mo:
"Now, do you dare?"
Zhang Mo fell to the ground and couldn't get up:
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will live up to your Majesty's entrustment."
Su Lu turned around and got into the carriage and gave instructions:
"Go to the post house. I want to see Hurhaci of Xueman and ask him who wants my life and the life of my daughter."
The carriage moves forward and the convoy goes away.
Zhang Mo got up from the ground and looked at the guards and patrol camps left behind, and his courage suddenly became stronger.
With the prince's attention and the protection of the prince's personal guards, I am still scared.
Shen Li, who was tightly tied with rope, shouted:
"Zhang Mo, if you still don't let me go, I will still be the Minister of Justice of the Three Laws Division until His Majesty's decree is issued."
"The imperial edict has arrived."
Accompanied by the eunuch's droning voice, a group of imperial guards appeared at the yamen gate.
The leading old eunuch showed the imperial edict in his hand, read out the imperial edict, deprived Shen Li of his official position and title, demoted him to a commoner, put him in prison, and awaited his fate.
Shen Li sat down on the ground, his face turned ashen, how could this happen?
Didn't I just accept some gifts and let a foreigner go? Why did I end up being dismissed from office and seizing a title, and even being deprived of my status as a Jinshi?
"I……"
Shen Li cried and fainted on the ground.
…
When Su Lu arrived at the post house, the Dingxiang army had already surrounded the post house.
Wang Xiaoliu, wearing armor and holding a sword, saluted Su Lu and said:
"Your Majesty, the inn has been surrounded. No assassins have been found, but scimitars have been found."
Su Lu took the lead and walked towards the Xue tribe's post house.
Su Yi held a spear in his hand and raised his arm:
"Prince Guards Camp, follow me."
Follow Su Lu and walk towards the gate of the Snowman's post house.
At the door of the post house, Huerhachi was supported by someone and stood on the steps.
Wokuotai's body trembled and he shivered and said:
"Clan leader, what should I do? The Han army just confiscated a lot of scimitars. Did the fourth child lose his hand?"
Huerhachi gave Ogedai a slap on the face:
"How many things are you hiding from me?"
"I missed it? What if I didn't miss it? I will be buried with you just like you."
"Thousand-kill bastards, I care about your father's old relationship and don't want to kill you all. This is how your brothers repay me."
"I can't say, this time, I'm going to break up with Lao Maozi."
