Chapter 417 Weichen came to plead guilty [Ask for a monthly ticket! 】
The lobby of the City Supervisor.
The master here, Jiancheng Ma Ben, is being bound together with the city lord Su Shengyan, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. Sitting at the top of the hall is Elder Shushan Silu, and next to him is Meng Yuan, a guarding general.
Meng Yuan is really at this moment like a thorn in his throat, like a light on his back, like sitting on pins and needles...
Elder Si Lu raised his hand and shouted, "Bring it up!"
Seeing two disciples of the Shushan sect dragging a weak young man to the front of the hall, it was Su Wei, the son of the city lord!
When Su Shengyan saw his son, his complexion turned dark.
Immediately, Elder Si Lu asked, "Is the person here Su Wei?"
"Yes..." Su Wei should have been caught in his sleep, his eyes were full of panic, and he could feel his great panic, and he said repeatedly: "Who are you? My father is the Lord of Wu'an City! You dare to touch a hair on me , he can't forgive..."
"Son, son..." Su Shengyan looked up from the side and whispered, "Father is here."
"Ah!" Only now did Su Wei realize that his old father was kneeling in front of him, and he turned pale with shock.
"Let me ask you, who is the one who tortured and killed innocent women in the city lord's mansion, causing her ghost to linger?" Elder Si Lu's face was as cold as iron.
"What?" Su Wei shook his head, "I don't know..."
Elder Si Lu raised his hand, and the sky suddenly darkened! All daylight was blocked by a cloud.
Turn your hands into clouds!
Beside Jiang Yuebai opened a scroll at the right time, and immediately, a group of figures flew out of the scroll. As soon as he saw Su Wei, there was a deep hatred in his eyes.
"Ah—" Seeing these women, Su Wei was so frightened that he got up and ran away, stood up for a while and ran out like a trapped animal!
With his martial arts cultivation and strong yang energy, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of these weak ghosts.
What he is afraid of is that things will be revealed and cannot be denied!
"You still said you didn't kill someone?" Elder Si Lu snorted coldly, and raised his hand: "Kill."
Chick—
A beam of sword light descended from the sky, directly piercing Su Wei! A cluster of blood light scattered all over the place.
"Don't!" Su Shengyan wailed beside him, but he was powerless to stop him, and then stared at Elder Si Lu with blood in his eyes, "How dare you kill my son..."
"Don't worry, it's up to you now." Elder Si Lu asked someone to lift him up again, and asked: "As the parent officer of Wu'an City, do you use your power to cover up your son? Have you ever bullied the common people and the fish and meat village? And have you ever deceived your superiors and your subordinates, causing family ruin and death?"
"Huh." Seeing his son's death, Su Shengyan suddenly stiffened, "You don't have to ask me, if you have evidence, you can do it. It's just that I am a city official and I have the emperor's life! You have to weigh it yourself!"
"Oh." Elder Si Lu sneered, she has been in charge of Shushan for many years, how can she have no means to make people speak.
Seeing a cold light flash in her eyes, two black lights suddenly shot into Su Shengyan's eyes.
Su Shengyan naturally didn't resist Elder Silu's cultivation, and his whole body was shocked immediately, and his whole body went limp.
"I'll ask you again, have you used your power to cover up your son's murder all these years?" Elder Si Lu asked again.
"Yes..." Su Shengyan replied quietly.
The guarding general next to him closed his eyes helplessly.
"Have you ever oppressed the common people, the fish and meat village?" Elder Si Lu asked again.
"Yes..." Su Shengyan nodded again.
"Have you ever corrupted the law and killed innocent people?" Elder Si Lu finally asked.
"Yes..." Su Shengyan nodded without any surprise.
Elder Si Lu raised his hand, "Kill!"
Meng Yuan's pupils twitched twice, did she really dare to kill the court officials?
Beside Jian Xiu was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard a shout from a distance: "The Prime Minister has orders! Keep people under the sword!"
It seemed that someone was rushing to stop it, Meng Yuan's eyes showed joy, but immediately Elder Si Lu yelled back: "Get out!"
The sound is like thunder, and the people in the future will be retreated several miles away!
The man was stunned for a while, then turned around and returned to the north.
Chick—
A sword light pierced through the chest, and Su Shengyan, the lord of Wu'an City, died on the spot.
Plop.
Watching him fall to the ground, Ma Jiancheng felt a chill in his heart.
These lunatics in Shushan...they really dare to kill people! Kill court officials!
What a lunatic!
Don't think too much, it's his turn now, he was carried to the front of the hall and knelt down, and Elder Si Lu asked: "I ask you, have you ever murdered my Shushan disciple?"
When Ma Ben heard this, he burst into tears again.
"If you want to ask me anything else, forget it. If you want to ask me this, there is really nothing..."
…
Yu Capital City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
The smoke in the quiet room curled up, and the shadow of flowers appeared on the window lattice. A man in Yanju uniform is sitting quietly in the hall, exhaling, with two air dragons hovering around his nose.
The man's eyebrows and eyes are smooth, his skin is fair, and he looks a little bit feminine. It can't be seen that he is close to fifty years old at all, but there is a calm and majestic attitude in his delicate appearance.
His name is Su Qian.
is the contemporary prime minister of the Yu Dynasty, a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people.
Su Qian has been in the officialdom for less than 20 years. During this period, he went from a top three in the imperial examination to the position of minister, and it can be said that he has made great strides. At key points in his official career, he often encountered mistakes from his boss, the downfall of his enemies, and the help of his allies, which made everyone who has seen his journey all sigh with emotion... Maybe this is called good luck.
Under strong luck, you must also have enough matching strength.
In the official circles of the Yu Dynasty, there are quite a few old guys with advanced cultivation. They can use dozens or even hundreds of years to manage their own power, which is enough to be extremely deep-rooted, and it is difficult for latecomers to shake.
For example, the head of the Huanlongjian in the imperial city, the supervisor of the Jianguo Mansion, the general of Zhuguo, the prison king of Tianbei Town...
There are not a few prime ministers who have collapsed in their hands.
But Su Qian has only been in the position of prime minister for a few years, and he has become a real powerful enough to wrestle with them. Naturally, it is impossible to rely entirely on the emperor's favor.
Now the forces attached to him are extremely large, known as the "Eight Schools, Eight Schools and Sixteen-Faction Party", and they are well-known in the capital of Yu.
Just now, he sent Zhang Kuahai, the great disciple of Shenxingmen, to rush to Wu'an City.
to save people.
It turned out that at the first moment when the sword light descended on Shushan, Su Shengyan already sensed that something was wrong, and with a wink, his confidantes who accompanied him had already fled back to the City Lord's Mansion and sent news to Yudu City.
They have always used the communication channel arranged by the imperial court, which is for public use and private use. The news quickly spread to the prime minister's office and Su Qian.
Su Qian naturally has no feelings for this godson who is a few years older than himself. It was purely because of his knowledge and ability to control a city that he agreed to keep it for his own use.
If he said to wipe his **** for his bad things, then Su Qian would not be willing.
But now he can't help but not do it.
Everyone in the world knows that Su Shengyan is his godson. If he allows this person to be trampled by Shushan, his subordinates will think that he can't control the situation. Over time, no one will accept him as a prime minister.
So he sent Zhang Guohai to perform the magic movement and rushed to Wu'an City.
The disciple of Shenxing studied the way of "no distance" all his life, and his agility spread out like a golden light, and he reached Wu'an City in a short time. Just in time for Elder Si Lu to kill Su Shengyan, he just yelled to stop.
Elder Si Lu's voice sent him flying several miles away.
Zhang Kuohai thought for a while, at least he was dead, so there was no need for him to touch this bad luck, and then he returned.
By the time he returned to the capital of Yu, Su Qian hadn't finished running for a week.
"Master." He bowed back and said, "Your name has already been reported, but it was Elder Silu of Shushan who came... She drove me away for several miles. She wants Su Shengyan to die, and I really can't stop her." live."
Su Qian frowned slowly.
"People in Shushan really don't give face." He said in a deep voice.
When paying homage to the Prime Minister, he gave a generous worship service for nine days and ten days. Although there was no opportunity to deal with them afterwards, he never gave out big gifts on New Year's Day, which can be said to be enough respect.
Now Shushan faction doesn't give him face at all, it is inevitable that he is a little sullen.
"It's not just about not giving face, it's about stomping on the ground." Zhang Kuahai said angrily.
Su Qian suddenly stood up: "Prepare the horse! Enter the palace!"
…
The big red horse of the Prime Minister's Mansion crossed the streets and alleys, flanked by strong warriors and guards, all pedestrians retreated wherever they passed. Even in the city of Yu, where officials are everywhere and the streets are full of princes and princes, there are probably not many people who can be more arrogant than the prime minister, so naturally no one dares to block the way.
Su Qian hurried to the outside of the imperial city in this way, and then walked smoothly all the way, passed the palace city, and then arrived in front of the Night Dragon Hall.
To be able to pass through the checkpoints so quickly, it is not enough just to have a high position and authority. The most important thing is to have the absolute trust of the emperor. Few people in the world have such treatment.
It has always been a big taboo for the emperor to disregard the court's laws and regulations. What's more, in such a bad situation, he didn't need to add any fuel to make the emperor angry at Shushan.
As for how to punish, it is the emperor's business.
Su Qian came to stand outside the Night Dragon Hall, and saw Lao Santai standing outside the door with an embarrassed look on his face.
And there seems to be a noisy sound in the hall, like a woman's voice yelling? And the content of the scolding... Weird.
Strange and strange.
How dare someone dare to act presumptuously in front of the Emperor's Palace?
He couldn't help but leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Rolex, who is this inside? So bold..."
"Royal family gathering." Rolex squinted his eyes, looked away, and whispered in his mouth: "Master, please don't spread this matter. It is the royal family members who are scolded, and the one who scolded is His Majesty's second aunt."
"When did Your Majesty get a second aunt?" Su Qian wondered.
"It has always been there, but it has been fostered outside for some reasons. I dare not discuss this matter in detail." Lao Santai said cautiously.
There are many taboos about the family affairs of the Son of Heaven.
Su Qian was used to the secrecy of these palace people, so he stood aside and waited for a while.
Finally heard the bang!
The door of the palace was pushed open heavily, and a tall flame red figure came out abruptly, and Su Qian couldn't help bowing his head due to the domineering aura rushing towards his face.
"Miss Feng." Lao Santai immediately nodded and bowed, and sent the girl far away.
As for the royal family members who came out one after another, Su Qian was familiar with them. All of them were like eggplants beaten by frost, with their heads drooping.
He didn't want to ask too many questions. After these people had left and Lao Santai returned, he asked, "This Second Aunt Huang seems to have a high level of cultivation? She looks so domineering."
"You should have heard her name before." Lao Santai whispered: "The empress of Shushan, Phoenix, is a serious power of the seventh realm! If it wasn't...well, it is really powerful anyway. From now on, you will remember it, don't Just provoke her."
Su Qian's eyebrows twitched.
Turning his head, he heard the palace man calling from behind: "Master Xiang, you can go in and see Your Majesty."
"Oh..." Su Qian walked into the front of the hall thoughtfully, and saw that the hall was quite messy, with broken objects everywhere, and many palace people were cleaning them up.
It looks like I might have not just scolded someone just now...
The old man in the yellow robe behind the dragon case looked depressed. He didn't know what he had experienced. Seeing Su Qian approaching him, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Su Qian hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, this humble minister is here to plead guilty!"
"Huh?" The emperor was slightly taken aback, "What is your crime?"
"Su Shengyan, the chief official of Wu'an City, once worshiped me as a foster father. Today, I know that he has been relying on my name to dominate Wu'an City all these years!" The practitioners of the Shushan faction discovered his evil deeds and reported it to the minister. The minister has promised the Shushan faction to arrest him as soon as possible, and if he resists, he can be killed on the spot!"
"Your Majesty, please punish the crime of ignorance!"
Good morning.
Posted at this time, it’s not difficult to guess that I haven’t slept all night, I’ve taken it, ah…
