West Gate.

The city gate guards stopped the funeral car and shouted harshly.

"Stop for inspection!"

"Brother Yu, why are you so strict today?"

Li Ping'an jumped out of the car, stepped forward and rubbed his sleeves, and the silver beans fell into the palm of the city gate guard.

Brother Yu lifted his belt without leaving a trace, and Yin Douzi hid it, and his attitude became much kinder and he explained.

"The Soldiers and Horses Department is looking for traitors. All vehicles and horses, including official sedans, must be searched."

Rebel!

Li Ping'an was shocked. The nature previously defined by the court as "bewitching" was now expanded.

Brother Yu didn't mind that the corpses were unlucky, so he looked through each one, checked for breath and pulse, and inserted pendants into each chest one by one.

"Is the mortuary very busy recently?"

"Busy, so busy!"

Li Ping'an had been idle for two years, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while. Fortunately, with the wealth he had acquired, he was able to renew the two broken internal strengthening techniques.

A few more major cases will be enough to complete the whole body training!

"Infinite Heavenly Lord, how can we base our happiness on the destruction of other people's homes and families..."

Li Pingan persuaded himself to be kind, and after the inspection of the funeral car was completed, he got on the car and left the west city gate.

Outside the city gate.

The procession, which stretched for several miles, included common people, merchants, and dignitaries.

At this time, no one dared to make trouble. If they offended His Majesty, they would be labeled as bewitching the East Palace and die without a burial place.

The interrogating city gate guards searched very carefully. If they saw a watermelon, they would cut it and taste it. If they saw a date, they would grab a handful. If there was nothing, they would search the body.

No copper coins?

Then you have to carefully question what you are doing in the city!

The common people were angry but dared not speak out. They could only explain and beg for mercy. If that didn't work, they would kneel down and kowtow a few times.

In the early years, when Li Ping'an saw this scene, he would scold him a few times in his heart, such as being a dog official and being a difficult kid, but now he doesn't even have a trace of sympathy.

As the saying goes, you can eat mountains if you rely on mountains, and you can eat water if you rely on water.

It is the same to eat watermelons by the city gate, to eat prisoners by the sky prison, and to search for corpses in the morgue. No one is noble or despicable.

The common people are like cattle, horses and leeks, so they naturally eat wherever they sit.

Half an hour later.

Mass graves.

It was as desolate as ever, with obviously a lot of waste buried there, and there was no lush vegetation in the summer.

"The yang energy is too strong and the vegetation is not prosperous. It is not a good burial place."

Li Ping'an read Taoist scriptures for several years and learned some methods of feng shui. Then he came to the mass graves and gained new opinions.

Lonely hilltops, rough and strange rocks, lack of vegetation, Duanlonggang...

Everything is not in line with the auspicious points of Feng Shui. The people buried here can be regarded as meritorious and protective, not only for benefiting future generations, but also for defeating the nine tribes.

"It has nothing to do with us. Digging holes to bury people."

Li Ping'an waved his shovel and dug a big hole without stopping.

"The Supreme Lord's decree transcends your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, and is blessed by the four lives..."

Reciting the Taoist rebirth mantra, the corpses were thrown into the pit one by one. Feeling the increasing merits, they filled the graves with satisfaction.

There was only one corpse left in the car, the old leader Shi Chabo.

Sun Guanying!

The largest official in Tianlao is the eighth-grade jailer. Under him are the five ninth-grade officers, namely, school captain, chief bookkeeper, jailer, camp manager, and punishment officer, who each perform their own duties. Now half of them have been dismissed.

"They all say that being an official in Tianlao is a safe and secure job. The ninth-grade hat is hereditary. Too many people have died this time, right?"

Li Pingan suppressed the doubts in his heart and found a pure place for Sun Guanying alone.

After digging more than a dozen places, Sun Guanying was finally buried.

On the way back to town.

Li Ping'an suddenly thought of something and looked back at the mass grave.

"Why are they all withered bones?"

…

Xu Shi.

The lights in Qinzheng Hall are brightly lit.

Emperor Jianwu reviewed the memorial with an expressionless face, while Eunuch Kang waited on the side cautiously.

nearly half a year.

Your Majesty's mood is flickering. Six of the Thirteenth Supervisors of the Chamber of Internal Affairs have been sacked. All of them were beheaded, confiscated, and exiled.

The chamberlain on duty at the door came in and said, "Your Majesty, Editor Su would like to see you."

Su Mingyuan was only a part-time student at the East Palace, and his real position was as an editor at the Hanlin Academy, but the former was much more promising than the latter.

Emperor Jianwu's eyes were dark and he was silent for a long time before saying, "Let him come in."

Su Mingyuan entered the palace, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, shouting: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Su Aiqing is duplicity."

Emperor Jianwu mocked: "How did I hear that there is a forty-year-old prince from the mouth of Su Aiqing?"

"I sincerely hope that your majesty will live a long life."

Su Mingyuan neither admitted nor denied, but added something in his heart, at least he would live longer than the prince.

Emperor Jianwu snorted coldly: "Su Aiqing came to see you late at night. Why?"

Su Mingyuan said loudly: "My lord, report the prince for treason!"

"oh?"

Emperor Jianwu sat up straight: "What evidence does Su Aiqing have? Falsely accusing Dong Palace is the crime of killing the nine tribes!"

Su Mingyuan said: "I was in the East Palace not long ago. I discovered that the prince was conspiring with Marquis Weiyuan. He had already organized his troops and came to report immediately."

"Su Aiqing, you are truly loyal to the emperor and the country!"

Since Emperor Jianwu came to the throne, he has seen a lot of people who are both obedient and treacherous. No one can act better than Su Mingyuan. When Zhen Fusi found out the truth, even he was not sure whether it was true or false.

The voice changed and he suddenly asked: "What does Su Aiqing think of the case of bewitching the East Palace?"

"Your Majesty is very affectionate and is paving the way for the crown prince."

Su Mingyuan said: "I checked some of the officials involved. Most of the people who died were children of aristocratic families, or officials close to aristocratic families. Officials from poor families are safely in prison."

In the case of bewitching the East Palace, the evidence is conclusive, and the prince indeed hired a magician.

At first, he only thought about extending his life, but found it too difficult, so he thought about shortening Emperor Jianwu's life to achieve the purpose of relatively extending his life.

As a result, the Zhenfu Division was in trouble, implicating countless officials close to the East Palace.

"There are not even one hundred thousand but eighty thousand people who died in my hands. There is no such thing as deep affection."

Emperor Jianwu signaled Eunuch Kang to get a soft cushion, found a comfortable position and half-lyed down, and continued: "It's just that the weather is not holidaying, and there is no time to change the prince."

After the words fell, the expressions of the maids in the palace suddenly changed. Some of the words they heard were punishable by death.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's art is innate, no wise king can teach it."

Su Mingyuan said: "Your Majesty allows the case to expand and allows officials to take advantage of it. This is not only to pave the way for the prince, but also to test the prince's perseverance!"

If the pressure is lifted and the prince can sit firmly in the East Palace, he will be able to successfully ascend the throne.

Emperor Jianwu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and many officials in the court thought that he wanted to change the prince, but he couldn't see it clearly as a young man.

Another meaning is to take advantage of the opportunity to catch a family.

Sure enough, many officials who usually scolded aristocratic families suddenly became flag-waving lackeys when they saw the opportunity coming.

The letter was written to accuse the prince of being unfaithful and unfilial, saying that if the prince were not replaced, the country would be in chaos.

"I'm very curious, what on earth do you want?"

The Zhenfu Department and the Internal Affairs Department investigated Su Mingyuan thoroughly and found no doubts. He was definitely not a remnant of the false dynasty or Taizu.

Su Mingyuan glanced at the corner of the wall and sighed: "I am seeking justice for Miss Su..."

"Who is Miss Su?"

"A dancer from Chunfeng Tower. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

"what is it call?"

"Su Xiaoyue, originally named Rourou, felt that it was too romantic, so she asked the minister to take the name Xiaoyue. In order to completely let go of the past, she changed Zhang to Su, which is the same surname as Chen."

Su Mingyuan's eyes were slightly red: "Xiaoyue, how did you know that I have never disliked her in any way..."

Emperor Jianwu winked, and Eunuch Kang bowed and stepped back.

After a while.

"Your Majesty, we found it."

Eunuch Kang said: "That was an insignificant Goulan woman. She died at the hands of Qi Qianhu. It is said that she had saved enough money to redeem herself."

The cause of Su Xiaoyue's death is easy to investigate. As soon as you ask, you will know that because of her relationship with Su Mingyuan, the Internal Affairs Department has recorded it in the files.

It’s just that no one cares. Killing a Golan woman is no different from killing a sheep or a cow.

Emperor Jianwu frowned, still in disbelief.

"Su Aiqing has done so many things just for an insignificant woman?"

Su Mingyuan tried his best to win the first prize, and now he has become a representative figure of northern scholars. As long as he does not seek death, he will be able to reach the position of prime minister in the future.

How could he give up such great power and wealth for a woman!

"Your Majesty thinks she is insignificant, but I don't think so."

Su Mingyuan suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Emperor Jianwu and said, "She and I, Your Majesty, Father-in-law and everyone else, are of the same weight."

"Fate, in my opinion, is the same for traffickers and pawns, princes, generals and ministers!"

"..."

Eunuch Kang fell to his knees in fright, his face turned pale, and he cursed Su Mingyuan for talking nonsense. Our family's life is not worth a hair of your Majesty's.
