Chapter 712 The Emperor and Prime Minister are all involved
"No!" Lin Su answered her: "Du Yuanfeng will definitely die. There is no way he can return to the capital alive!"
After receiving his accurate answer, Zhou Mei's eyes slowly narrowed: "He was the culprit who surrounded and suppressed the Wujianmen stronghold that day. Wujianmen is spread across all walks of life in the world. The whole world would have hunted him down, right?"
"yes!"
Zhou Mei's eyes moved over: "In addition to Wujianmen, Cao Fang is obviously also on the side of the third prince. In order to be loyal to the prospective prince, he will also kill Du Yuanfeng!"
"yes!"
"Wu Jianmen, who has frightened Jianghu, and the destination where you deliberately sent the head, Zhizhou Prefecture, want to kill him and then hurry up, so you conclude that it is impossible for Du Yuanfeng to enter the capital alive..." Zhou Mei said: "But you seem to ignore it.
Even if he is a little bit cautious, there are people who want to protect him! Because he is a hidden dragon!"
Hidden dragon!
A confidant of His Majesty the Emperor!
The prince's backer!
Although the prince is dead, the ministers of his faction are still there. Will they sit back and watch Du Yuanfeng be killed?
When this question was raised, Lin Su smiled: "Ding Jiye was once the person whom Your Majesty trusted the most, but why was it that the person who killed him in the end was also Your Majesty? Just because, in the emperor's mind, there is no humane morality, only gains and losses..."
Zhou Mei's eyes suddenly brightened...
When an emperor employs people, he only employs useful people, and he doesn't care about favors.
If this person has been exposed and his existence does more harm than good, how can the emperor protect him? He may even be the first to get rid of him!
This logic applies to Ding Jiye, but does it apply to Du Yuanfeng?
It is obviously applicable.
Du Yuanfeng is a hidden dragon, and the hidden dragon is the emperor's most secret power. This power is never exposed to the sun. Only because it remains invisible can it have the greatest deterrence and practicality.
But Du Yuanfeng was exposed!
His exposure is a huge threat to His Majesty!
Lin Su did not continue the trial for half of the trial, and that was the reason... If he tried everything to the end, Du Yuanfeng's hot potato would be his, Lin Su's hand. He tried half of the trial and handed it over to Cao Fang, and Cao Fang must also hand it over.
For Lu Tiancong, it was these two hands that were burned!
In this case, Du Yuanfeng is a time bomb. No one knows whether he will leak the top-secret news that he is a hidden dragon. Once the top-secret news that Zhizhi Hall is a hidden dragon's nest is leaked, the whole world will explode.
Your Majesty absolutely cannot bear it.
Therefore, Your Majesty has only one solution: kill Du Yuanfeng at lightning speed!
——If Your Majesty could save him without taking any risks, he would obviously save him. However, Du Yuanfeng has more than a hundred lives on his shoulders, and the irrefutable evidence is beyond the scope of His Majesty’s rescue. Even if His Majesty can save him, but
Based on the cost-effectiveness, it is impossible to save him, so killing him is the easiest way.
A complicated and confusing plan has now been completely answered in Zhou Mei's mind, and it is very concise and sensible.
Zhou Mei has one hundred and twenty egos in her heart!
She took a long breath and slowly raised her eyes: "I may have been with you for a long time. I think there is something I can do."
You have been with me for a long time? How do you understand? Lin Su did not change the topic and faced the topic: "What to do?"
"I can follow the escort team all the way to see who is responsible for the murder, and then use the photo stone to leave ironclad evidence for future use!"
Lin Su smiled: "So, the little babies around me have all grown up... remember this!"
Zhou Mei had just been a little excited by the word "little baby" next to her, but suddenly she heard the words that were clearly lowered and said in a very serious tone, and all her thoughts ran away: "What?"
"You are just a bystander, you are not a participant! No matter who comes, no matter whether you can fight or not, remember, you are only allowed to watch, and you are not allowed to interfere!"
This sentence is very solemn and serious. It can even be said that it is rare to be serious.
Zhou Mei stared at him with obvious concern, and a warm current quietly surged in her heart: "Are you really afraid that I... am gone?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course I'm scared!"
"Why?"
"Because...because I haven't kidnapped you yet, am I reluctant to let you die?...I know you like to hear this, so I'll tell you something you like to hear to make you happy."
Zhou Meimao was confused: "Are you saying this nicely? Which of your eyes sees me happy? You bastard, you are obviously teasing me. Wait until I come back to deal with you..."
Silently, Zhou Mei disappeared, leaving an obvious big white eye in the empty room.
The prefect came, handed over in the middle of the night, and Du Yuanfeng took him away from Nanshan City overnight. Everything happened before dawn. Except for Nanshan Inn, almost no one in Nanshan City knew that such a thrilling thing happened on this night.
However, someone is paying attention to the Luyang Palace, which is out of sight of everyone.
Just as Lin Su predicted, among the thousands of night lights in the Luyang Palace, one light was lit for Su Rong.
She stood in front of the window and looked at Nanshan City in the distance.
The lone lamp behind her was swaying, and her clothes were also gently fluttering in the night wind.
The door rang softly, twice, one short and one long.
Su Rong slowly turned around, her face hidden in the darkness, looking at the tall man in front of her who was wearing a windbreaker, covering half of her face.
"Your Majesty!"
"Something happened tonight!" King Lu Yang's voice was very low.
"I had a premonition that something was going on. What was it?"
"Li Qinghan was killed and Du Yuanfeng was arrested!"
"What?" Su Rong's expression suddenly changed...
King Lu Yang whispered what happened...
Su Rong's face changed suddenly...
When the matter ended, the two looked at each other in the darkness...
After a long time, Su Rong breathed out softly: "Li Qinghan was killed, it must be Lin Su. In the entire Nanshan City, he is the only one who can kill Li Qinghan!"
"Yes! I also judged this way, but the most terrifying thing about this guy is that he is impeccable. He caught Li Qinghan's murder case and testified against Du Yuanfeng on the spot. Moreover, under his enlightenment, Du Yuanfeng confessed to Sifangshan
As soon as the tragedy and the Sifangshan case came out, no one cared about Li Qinghan's death anymore, because Li Qinghan was also the culprit of the Sifangshan tragedy, a murderer who obviously did not deserve sympathy."
"What a terrible person!" Su Rong sighed: "He must have known that Li Qinghan and Du Yuanfeng left the capital and the target was his head, so he struck first to gain advantage!"
King Lu Yang said: "Once these two people die, all the plans you designed will be invalidated. What is the saint's clever plan?"
Su Rong slowly raised her eyes: "Killing my helper means forcing me to fight one-on-one with him, that's fine! I want to see how Lin Su is different today compared to that day.
progress!"
…
The next day!
early morning!
When Lu Tian arrived at the Memorial Pavilion, the first memorial he received was from Lin Su.
As soon as he received this memorial, Lu Tian's face turned extremely ugly.
He didn't sleep last night because he was worried about this.
As soon as I got on duty today, my ominous premonition came true.
Lin Su, that bastard, really dug this hole for him.
The Du Yuanfeng incident is the hottest potato in the world, and anyone who touches it will be torn to pieces, but as the prime minister, he can avoid it when someone else's memorial is delivered to him.
Lu Tiancong was a treacherous person after all, so he only hesitated for a moment before entering the palace.
There were two other people in the Zhengde Hall, and they were Zhang Juzheng, another first-rank official, and Chen Geng, the dean of White Deer Academy.
Zhang Juzheng paid it back. Chen Geng had not been on duty for eight years. After becoming the dean of Bailu Academy, he became diligent in his work. Not only did he go to Bailu Academy every day, but he also showed up at the palace every morning without hesitation.
As a result, Lu Tian never had a chance to communicate with His Majesty alone.
Lu Tiancong knew that His Majesty was annoyed by these two people, but there was nothing he could do. The ancestral laws were there. When a first-class official entered the palace, he did not even need to ask for permission. He only needed to be notified. If they are willing to come, you have to, Emperor.
Express welcome and affirmation, and never be impatient.
The emperor could not be impatient, and as the prime minister, Lu Tiancong had to show his respect for them even more.
Although it was just a formal thing, Lu Tiancong had a feeling that something was getting more and more wrong. He felt that he had become an outlier in the palace, because no matter big or small, Zhang Juzheng could always maintain the same position as Chen Geng, and would always give him a favor.
He came up two against one.
Zhang Juzheng's academics are naturally high, but his emotional intelligence is just that. Lu Tiancong doesn't care about this opponent, but with the addition of Chen Geng, Lu Tiancong feels that one plus one is greater than two!
Chen Geng's IQ, EQ, and eloquence are all top-notch. Moreover, he is in the literary field and has an innate advantage in his literary position. Once the truth is discussed, Lu Tiancong feels a lot of pressure...
Lu Tiancong entered the Zhengde Hall, and His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be freed from the dullness just now: "Show the prime minister your seat!"
Lu Tian never sat down. He held a memorial in his hand and handed it over with both hands: "Your Majesty, I just received a memorial from Lin Su, the prefect of Nanshan. It is of great importance, so I came here to report it."
His Majesty's expression changed slightly...
Lin Su’s memorial?
Due to the presence of two first-level officials who were very close to Lin Su, he could not say anything. He took the memorial and read it. This sight made His Majesty feel very upset...
His hidden dragon!
One was killed and the other was found guilty of the Sifangshan Incident...
Lin Su, you are a troublemaker, why don’t you die!
Chen Geng watched the changes in His Majesty's face and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
His Majesty raised his voice to the sky in one breath: "What happened? Come and see! Look what your elders at White Deer Academy have done... This is unreasonable! This is unreasonable!"
When the memorial was displayed, Zhang Juzheng and Chen Geng were shocked at the same time.
Zhang Juzheng stepped forward: "As His Majesty said, as the elder of White Deer Academy, he actually did such a crazy thing, which insulted the holy way and was a heinous crime! I will immediately report to the temple and remove these two people from their positions!"
Chen Geng knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, a humble minister is in charge of Bailu Academy. Such unbearable things happen to his subordinates and they commit such great evils. How can we tolerate and accommodate them? These two people should be killed if they should be killed. If the nine tribes should be punished, the nine tribes should be punished.
We must not let these two literary scoundrels ruin our Bailu’s reputation for thousands of years! I will return to Bailu Academy immediately to clean up the school’s atmosphere!”
His Majesty's face gradually calmed down: "That's exactly what it should be!"
Four words were spoken slowly...
Chen Geng knelt down and reported: "Prefect Lin impeached Wei Chen for being lax in his duties. Wei Chen was convinced and asked Wenyuan Pavilion to reprimand him and correct his style of writing!"
"This..." Zhang Juzheng hesitated slightly: "These two elders were not promoted by Dean Chen, and Dean Chen has just arrived..."
Chen Geng interrupted him and said: "Do not defend Geng, a great scholar. Anyone who commits a crime must be punished. This is the iron rule of the holy way. Please enforce the punishment fairly and give Chen Geng an order of Wenyuan's rebuke!"
The words exchanged between the two of them made His Majesty frightened.
This matter really shouldn't be punished too severely. If Wenyuan is really punished, Chen Geng's reputation will be tarnished, but this matter will only be known to the world, and this matter is not suitable for everyone to know.
