In front of the SANFA division yamen, Shen Li, Minister of justice, waited for Su Lu with a group of officials.
The female official who sent the letter had already arrived. Su Lu wanted to examine the officials of the third division of justice.
Old Shen Li stood beside several deputy secretaries and auxiliary officials, looking at the crossroads not far away.
Zhang Mo, deputy secretary of state, suddenly asked Shen Li:
"Lord Shen, the prince suddenly came to the third division of justice. Isn't it because of the snow barbarian?"
Shen Lisheng's fat head, big ears, glossy face and big stomach made him stand a little hard. When he heard the speech, he said irritably:
"I'm not an Ascaris worm in the Lord's stomach. How do you know why the Lord wants to come to my three law division."
"Don't worry, Lord Zhang. Even if we're wrong, we'll just be punished for a month."
Zhang Mo heard the promise, wiped the sweat beads on his head and sighed. Shen Li was born in an official family and served as the chief officer of the three law department. He was looked after by relatives of the Ministry of punishment and Dali temple. Only in this way can he enjoy the wind and water for more than ten years.
I can't do it myself. I've passed five passes and killed six generals. It's not easy to get admitted to the imperial examination. I've been working hard for more than ten years before I have today's status. I have to make a good plan. What's the matter when the king comes to the three legal departments.
After calling the assistant officer next to him, Zhang Mo asked a few questions, reviewed many files on his hand, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.
After a while, the sound of horses' hoofs on the flagstone road sounded at the intersection, and a team of forbidden troops drove over.
"Coming"
Zhang Mo reminded Shen Li, who was dozing off, and his tone was a little uneasy. I'm afraid the prince came for the snow barbarians this time. Lord Shen let hurhachi go. I'm afraid he poked a big basket this time.
Shen Li cheered up, sorted out his official robes and waited for Su Lu to arrive.
Zhang Mo looked at the carriage in the distance and became more and more worried. If the Lord asked, should he... Eh?
Looking at the blood on the carriage, Zhang Mo was stunned. There was blood on the Lord's carriage!
How could it be? The Lord is the God of the Han Dynasty. He is a person below one person and above ten thousand people. There is blood on his carriage.
Unless
Thinking of that possibility, Zhang Mo was stunned. Who dares to assassinate the Lord? It's a bear's heart and leopard's courage.
"Are you Shen Li?"
The crisp sound suddenly pulled Zhang Mo out of fear, and saw her royal highness dressed in purple rode off the carriage and watched Shen Li ask.
Zhang Mo's eyes turned quickly, thinking about what he knew and how to answer the Lord's questions later.
Su Lu stood on the shaft, looked at Shen Li, and suddenly asked:
"Shen Li, I was assassinated by barbarians on my way here just now. Didn't you arrange it?"
Shen Li's fat face turned white, and his sweat immediately flowed down from his forehead. He looked at Su Lu in a muddle and didn't say a word for a long time.
The prince was stabbed?
Shen Li suddenly became afraid. The king is the God of the Han Dynasty. He is notorious for killing people. He killed a man of a Wulin sect not long ago. If he knew that he had received a gift from Xueman and Lord Qian.
Then it's over.
After wiping the sweat on his forehead, Shen Li hoarse:
"My Lord's good advice. I'm an officer. I'm just a civil servant. How can I know about the assassination?"
"It's no wonder that Xueman's people were let go. The lower official acted in accordance with the orders of adults such as Lord Qian and the adults."
Shen Li was afraid of death, so he sold Qian Qianyi without hesitation.
Su Lu was disappointed when he heard the speech. He thought Shen Li, even if he was a corrupt official, should be a competent corrupt official. Now it seems that he is a waste. He doesn't know how such waste became the judicial Secretary of the three courts.
"Somebody, tie Shen Li up. Who's the deputy secretary?"
Zhang Mofei quickly knelt down and said respectfully:
"Zhang Mo, the lower official, knocks on the Lord."
Su Lu asked:
"Do you know the reason for this?"
Zhang Mo didn't dare to hide. He told him what he knew. He even told Qian Qianyi that he had received Xueman's gift.
Su Lu nodded:
"Well, from now on, you are the judicial Secretary of the third division of justice. You are in charge of the affairs of the third division of justice. First try Shen Li to me. I want to see how powerful the court of the Han Dynasty is ǔ Bài。”
Zhang Mo looked chilly when he heard the speech. Lord, this is to overturn the imperial court. Shen Li's family is very involved. I'm afraid someone will fall in the six Shangshu in this trial.
"Why, don't you dare?"
Su Lu asked Zhang mo.
Zhang Mo bit his teeth. He was cold and afraid of nothing.
"Back to the Lord, the lower official has a small position and can't try Lord Shen. This matter involves too many officials. The Secretary of justice can't control the officials involved. The lower official is afraid to start the trial today, and he will be dead in the street tomorrow."
Su Lu nodded:
"OK, have courage."
"Since you have the courage, I naturally support it. You can call Dingxiang guard, dark guard and rebel army at will. From today on, the patrol camp will be divided into a guard camp, which belongs to your three law departments."
"Gao Dabao, allocate a fire guard to protect the safety of Lord Zhang and his family. If something happens to Lord Zhang, raise your head to see him."
After the assignment, Su Lu asked Zhang Mo:
"Now, dare you?"
Zhang Mo can't stand on the ground:
"I thank the Lord for his grace, and I will live up to the Lord's entrustment."
Su Lu turned and got into the carriage and ordered:
"Go to the post house. I want to meet hulhachi of Xueman and ask him who wants the king's life and the king's daughter's life."
The carriage went forward and the motorcade went away.
Zhang Mo got up from the ground and looked at the left guard and patrolled the camp. He was brave at once.
I'm afraid of farting because I'm valued by the Lord and protected by the king's personal guard camp.
Shen Li, who was tied firmly by the rope, shouted:
"Zhang Mo, before you let go of me, before your Majesty's edict is issued, I will still be the judicial Secretary of the third division of justice."
"The edict came."
With the eunuch's male duck voice, a team of internal bodyguards appeared at the gate of the Yamen.
The old eunuch, who was headed by the eunuch, displayed the imperial edict in his hand, read out the imperial edict, deprived Shen Li of his official position and title, demoted him to a common man, put him in prison and wait for his fall.
Shen Li sat on the ground with his face like ashes. How could this happen.
I just received some gifts and released an alien. How did I fall to the point that I was dismissed from office and robbed of the status of a scholar.
"I..."
Shen Li cried and fainted to the ground.
……
When Su Lu arrived at the post house, the Ding army had surrounded the post house.
Wang Xiaoliu, dressed in armor and sharp, saluted Su Lu and said:
"Lord, the post house has been surrounded. No assassins have been found, but machetes have been found."
Su Lu should go to the post house of the snow people first.
Su Yi holds a long gun and raises his arm:
"Guard camp, come with me."
Follow Su Lu and walk to the gate of Xueman's post house.
At the gate of the post house, hurhachi was supported and stood on the steps.
Wokuotai shuddered and said:
"Clan leader, what should I do? I was searched by the Han army for many machetes just now. Did the fourth miss?"
Hurhachi slapped wokuotai in the face:
"How much else are you hiding from me?"
"What if you miss? If you don't miss, I have to be buried with you."
"These bastards who kill thousands of knives. I care about your father's old love and don't want to kill you all. That's how your brother repay me."
"I can't say. This time, I'm going to break with Lao maozi."
