Just when Mo Li didn't know what to do, he saw their Marquis walking over from the side.
Then he joined the battle and walked up to Mo Li, "Leave this to me."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Li Li responded and stepped out to deal with the other men in black.
The leader of the men in black saw Shuo Ling and said, "I've heard for a long time that Shuohou has extraordinary military power. Let's test how powerful you are today."
As he spoke, the leading man in black took out his sword and stabbed Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling dodged slightly, then pulled out his sword from its scabbard and began to fight with the leading man in black.
After a few moves, Shuo Ling discovered the flaw of the man in black.
Although the man in black attacks quickly and with great force, which seems to be very powerful, it also consumes a lot of physical strength. Therefore, when dealing with this person, you cannot face him head-on. Instead, you have to dodge, use up this person's physical strength, and get the It's a breeze!
The leading man in black couldn't help but sneer when he saw Shuo Ling keep dodging. I thought Shuo Hou was so powerful, but I didn't expect that he could only dodge.
After saying that, he used all his strength to draw his sword at Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling still dodged, but within a moment, Shuo Ling felt that the time was almost up, so he started to fight back. The man in black who was leading him quickly blocked it with his sword, and then Shuo Ling picked up the sword and started to attack the man in black again.
After a few moves, the leader in black had spent a lot of experience before. Now Shuo Ling would make a move. How could he be Shuo Ling's opponent? When he wasn't paying attention, Shuo Ling thrust his sword into the leader in black. human heart.
Then he pulled out the sword.
I saw that the other men in black were also being controlled by Li Li and others. At this time, Shuo Ling stepped forward and said coldly, "It's up to you to understand, or you should go to the Jinluan Palace with me tomorrow!"
Shuo Ling said, picked up the sword in his hand, and wiped off the blood remaining on the sword on the men in black.
I saw the remaining men in black looking at each other, and then exerting force, blood dripped from the corners of their mouths.
"Master Marquis, they bit their tongues and committed suicide." Li Li checked forward and said.
Shuo Ling glanced at it and said coldly, "Get rid of it!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Li Li responded, then turned around and ordered others to deal with the bodies of the men in black.
Xu Qing, who was in the secret room, felt relieved when he heard that there was no sound outside, and fell asleep.
Blue Mansion.
Prime Minister Lan and Lan Ruojing, who had been waiting for news in the house, couldn't help but become worried.
It's past the ugly time now. If these people haven't come back yet, they must have failed.
Prime Minister Lan couldn't help but panic, what should he do
I saw Lan Ruojing comforting Prime Minister Lan at this time, sighing and saying, "Dad, now we can only take one step at a time. The emperor will see that dad is a veteran of three dynasties, so he will definitely show mercy."
"Dad, this life is not worth anything. The emperor is already very suspicious. What he is afraid of is that your sister and the prince will be implicated at this time. The emperor has long planned to weaken our Lan family. Now he will take this opportunity to kill his father. Take back the power you hold." Prime Minister Lan said with a sad face at this time.
Lan Ruojing then stepped forward to support Prime Minister Lan, "Dad, now that things have happened, it doesn't matter who has the power or not. As long as dad can live in peace, it will be fine."
"But in this case, my father will have no power, and your sister will have no backer, as well as Fu'er, and those who have princes in the harem, who will not be jealous of this prince's position. If Fu'er has no backer, father is afraid... father is afraid... Prime Minister Lan said, sitting aside and holding his forehead with his hands.
Lan Ruojing couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable when she saw Prime Minister Lan like this, "Don't worry, Dad, that boy Fu'er has a kind heart and I think he will definitely become the emperor."
"Ruo Jing, you don't understand. Fu'er's biggest shortcoming is his kindness and not being ruthless enough. If he doesn't have the support of my grandfather, I'm afraid that Fu'er will suffer a loss. Not only did Xu Qing not be killed, but ten people were also brought in with him. Dead soldier!" Prime Minister Lan looked at Lan Ruojing and said.
Lan Ruojing also sighed at this time.
The next day, in the Jinluan Palace.
All civil and military officials have arrived.
Master Chu Youtian was sitting in the court hall.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Everyone loves you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the ministers got up, Chu Shiyoutian asked, "Shuohou, where is Xu Qingren about the account books you mentioned yesterday?"
"Back to the Emperor, Xu Qing is waiting outside the palace for the Emperor to announce his presence." Shuo Ling took a step forward and replied with cupped hands.
After hearing this, Master Chu Youtian winked at Eunuch Li who was standing aside.
Eunuch Li agreed, so he held his voice and said loudly, "Xuanjiandu is waiting to see you in court!"
After Xu Qing stood in the Jinluan Hall, he straightened his clothes and quickly walked in.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in Jinluan Palace turned their heads to look at Xu Qing.
When Xu Qing walked to the front and back of the main hall, he knelt down and said loudly, "Xu Qing is here to kowtow to the emperor in the capital. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Ping Shen." Master Chu Youtian said at this time.
Xu Qing kowtowed to Master Chu Youtian again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he stood up.
"Xu Qing, I ask you, do you have any evidence to prove that these officials were corrupted by the destruction of the Jiandu Dam?" Chu Shi Youtian asked Xu Qing directly.
Xu Qing took out the account book from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, all the money used for the dam is recorded here."
"Where did you get this account book?" Chu Shi Youtian continued to ask at this time.
Xu Qing replied at this time, "Back to the emperor, after the dam was washed away, the people were in dire straits, and the local magistrate ignored it and was helpless. The official then went to the magistrate's house to find him. Unexpectedly, in At the door of the magistrate's study, I heard the magistrate talking to the county magistrate about the account book. When the official learned about it, he hid aside. After the magistrate and the county magistrate came out, the official sneaked into the study and stole the account book. come out."
"Eunuch Li, go and submit it!" Master Chu Youtian said to Eunuch Li who was standing aside.
Eunuch Li quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
With that said, he walked to Xu Qing and took the account book over. Then he turned around and walked to Chu Master Youtian's side. He bent slightly and presented the account book to Chu Master Youtian with both hands, "Your Majesty."
Master Chu Youtian nodded and took the account book.
At this time, Prime Minister Lan couldn't help but feel nervous.
After seeing this, Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but look ugly. Then he threw the account book in front of Prime Minister Lan and shouted loudly, "Prime Minister Lan, what else do you have to say now?"
"I am guilty, I was also confused for a moment, and then..." Prime Minister Lan felt guilty, so he quickly knelt down and said.
Unexpectedly, before Prime Minister Lan could finish speaking, Master Chu Youtian interrupted him, "In a moment of confusion, so many people in Jiandu died in vain. You can't bear it. Fortunately, you are still the prime minister of a country and the father of the queen!"
"I know that I am guilty, but I am confused and bring trouble to the emperor." Prime Minister Lan said at this time, kowtow to Master Chu Youtian.
Chu Shi Youtian slapped the table at this time, "Causing trouble? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Jiandu has three crops of rice a year. Do you know that the food supply for the frontier fortress comes from Jiandu? If Xiling invades, you will let the frontier fortress How should the soldiers go to fight? Can a word of confusion...can a word of confusion make up for this matter?"
"I know that my crime is unforgivable, but the queen doesn't know about all this. If the emperor wants to punish me, I will be punished. I am willing to die to apologize." As he said that, he hit the pillar next to the Jinluan Hall.
At this time, Master Chu Shilan on the side saw this and quickly ran forward to stop Prime Minister Lan, "Grandpa, no, no."
"Father, my grandfather is old and confused for a while, so he did something wrong. I hope my father will give my grandfather a chance." Master Chu Shilan then knelt down in front of Chu Shi Youtian and begged Prime Minister Lan for mercy.
Seeing Master Chu Shilan interceding for Prime Minister Lan, Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but feel even more angry, "As a prince, you actually care about family ties so much. How can I trust you to hand over the country to you in the future?"
"Fu'er, you don't need to plead for grandfather. Grandfather did something wrong and should be punished." At this time, Prime Minister Lan pulled Master Chu Shilan and said quickly.
Master Chu Shilan turned to Prime Minister Lan and said, "Grandpa."
"I hope my father will have mercy on me!" Then Chu Master Lankuo said to Chu Master Youtian.
Minister Chu Shilan, who was following behind him, also stood up to plead with Prime Minister Lan at this time, "Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Lan is at fault in this matter, please bear in mind that this is the first time Prime Minister Lan made a mistake. The crime will not lead to death!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, as Prime Minister Lan is a veteran of three dynasties, Your Majesty will be given a lighter punishment!" At this time, someone else agreed.
After hearing this, Master Chu Youtian couldn't help but point at these ministers and said, "I haven't convicted him yet, but you people are interceding for him. I would like to ask you what crime is appropriate for Prime Minister Lan!"
"Your Majesty, this is not what I mean." The person who had just spoken quickly knelt down and said.
Chu Shi Youtian snorted coldly at this moment, "Although Prime Minister Lan is a veteran of three dynasties, he has embezzled money from the imperial court, which has brought serious consequences. He can be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of living!"
Then he looked at Prime Minister Lan and said, "Jiandu has suffered greatly this time. I remember that you are a veteran of the three dynasties, so I will exempt you from the death penalty. However, I want to take back all the power in your hands and remove all positions. Prime Minister Lan can Objection!”
After hearing this, Prime Minister Lan couldn't help but slumped on the ground, and then kowtowed to Master Chu Youtian, "Thank you for not killing me, sir... I have no objections!"
"Thank you, Father!" Master Chu Shilan also kowtowed to Chu Master Youtian at this time.
Although Prime Minister Lan had expected this, when he actually heard it, he couldn't help but couldn't accept it. Coupled with his old age, he fainted on the spot.
Master Chu Shilan quickly stepped forward and hugged Prime Minister Lan, "Grandpa, grandpa."
"Come here, take Prime Minister Lan out of the Jinluan Palace and ask the imperial doctor to check him out!" Seeing this, Master Chu Youtian said loudly.
Master Chu Shilan knew that if he left the palace now, his father would be dissatisfied, but now that his grandfather was like this, he was worried, so he could only whisper to the guards who came, "Send Prime Minister Lan to the Queen."
The guard nodded after hearing this.
