"Who doesn't know that there are 108 kinds of punishments in your prisons, which make people unable to survive or die? Officials who can't stand the torture say random things, and you take them out as evidence!"
Someone in the hall objected.
Si Yiluo looked over and saw that the person speaking looked familiar. It was Gu Xuejian, the censor who stayed in Beijing to impeach her for the seven deadly sins.
I offended Wei Heyan, is he still alive?
Si Yiluo stood up and said: "When I arrested them last night, everyone in the capital can testify that it wasn't me and my subordinates who stuffed people into dark alleys to frame them, right? Isn't it that I encouraged them to enter the gambling house behind their backs?"
"
"Why is Mr. Gu so sure that I have executed them? Mr. Gu might as well go to the imperial prison and have a look, and then come to the court to give your opinion!"
Those arrested last night were so frightened that they were pissed off as soon as they saw the instruments of torture. They did everything they could to avoid the need to torture them. They marked their confessions all night long.
Gu Xuejian was a foolish young man who was not afraid of offending others when he spoke. It was precisely because of this that Emperor Yao took a fancy to him and kept him in the capital as a supervisory censor.
After confronting Gu Xuejian, another old scholar stood up and accused Si Yiluo of arresting people in the city, which was detrimental to the court's face.
Si Yiluo retorted with just one sentence.
"The officials who committed these scandalous things are not afraid of embarrassing the court. The Jinyiwei has the duty to supervise all officials. There is no reason for me to help them hide it. Regarding the matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, you are instigating me to neglect my duty."
?”
The ministers could not defeat her, so they took turns to lecture Yao Emperor on benevolent policies, and the classics came out at his mouth.
This is what bothers Emperor Yao the most. He wants to make achievements and be a wise king, but there are a bunch of people underneath who are blocking him. On the surface, these people obey the orders he issues, but secretly they discount them.
Si Yiluo fought with the scholars and made a knife in his hand. The knife tested its edge for the first time. Although it did not cut the vital part, it allowed him to breathe out.
"Okay, let's do as Secretary Qing said and act in accordance with the law. Let's dismiss the court."
All she caught were shrimps. The lives and deaths of the minions were not important. What was important was that through this incident, she could see that Si Yiluo was on the opposite side of everyone.
The powerful people behind the scenes are best at being prepared for danger in times of peace. The current situation is unfavorable, and today's advice is just a test, and the result is not satisfactory.
The court had just dispersed, and the courtiers gathered together in twos and threes.
If you can't take advantage of it openly, you will probably use it in the dark.
Si Yiluo understood this truth, and after returning to his mansion, he gathered the people in his mansion to lecture him.
After Shen Moran beat him openly and Xiang Yun dealt with it secretly, the servants in the house no longer dare to have other thoughts.
She gathered people together and reminded everyone to be careful when going out recently. Those Ziwen people had too much evil in their bellies and there was nothing they could do about her. They would definitely start with the people around her.
After Si Yiluo finished his instructions, he left Xiang Yun, Chen Zhuo, Aunt Chen and Shen Moran behind and told them to be careful.
Shen Moran said worriedly: "Are you going to confront them now?"
"Sister Aluo, what you do is all good things, why are they targeting you?" Chen Zhuo put aside his playful thoughts and looked confused, "It's not like all the people in the court are bad people who can't distinguish between right and wrong..."
Si Yiluo said calmly: "We have to face each other sooner or later. There is no difference whether it is earlier or later."
She patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder and said, "People die for money and birds die for food. I have harmed their interests, so they want revenge. It is very dangerous for you and your mother to stay in the capital. Are you afraid?"
Chen Zhuo straightened his chest.
"I'm not afraid, I want to help Sister Aluo deal with the bad guys!"
"Well done." Si Yiluo raised his head and said to Xiang Yun, "Thank you for keeping the house airtight."
Xiang Yun cupped his fists.
"Don't worry, sir."
After making arrangements, she left Shen Moran alone.
"I still have something to give you. Go back and tell the Prime Minister..."
The two of them bit their ears and said a few words. Shen Moran's eyebrows were bright and she smiled secretly: "Don't worry, leave it to me..."
She single-handedly created many vacancies for the court. Didn't Shen Panxing lose a Sun En? She must be very willing to cooperate.
This gave them the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes and put people in. Borrowing Shen Panxing's hand to support their own people. Let him taste some sweetness, and then he would take the bait.
"This is a good idea." Shen Moran was still worried, "But it is not good for us to confront the courtiers so early. Our family is too weak."
Si Yiluo knew that the time had come, but he could not wait any longer.
"In August and Autumn, what kind of reputation can we attract? What kind of talents can we attract? This step is a bit anxious, break and then build..."
She paused as she spoke and looked towards the door.
Shen Moran looked at his expression.
"Master Si, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The housekeeper said two days ago that he needs to buy more ice. Because the budget is too big, I haven't approved the note yet. It's time to change the tent in the house. You see..."
Si Yiluo responded quietly: "Miss Shen can just make up her mind."
Shen Moran said happily: "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Si. I have recorded all the household expenses in my account. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will resign first."
Shen Moran opened the door and saw two bowls of sour plum soup on Yue Beishu's tray. He stepped aside and saluted.
"come in."
Si Yiluo was sitting at the table. She was dressed in black and looked cold.
Yue Beishu placed the tray in front of her and said with a smile: "The kitchen has made sour plum soup. Mr. Si has just recovered from his serious illness. Don't work too hard."
Si Yiluo seldom got sick except for injuries. The last time he had a fever, it lasted for three days, which was indeed serious.
"How is your injury?" She stirred the sour plum soup with a spoon and looked at Yue Beishu, "The injury is not healed yet, so there is no need to get in front of me. There is no shortage of servants in the house."
Yue Beishu looked sad.
"The villain has caused trouble for Master Si."
Men are more fragile than women.
Yue Beishu's pair of talking eyes bite into the goosebump-inducing resentment. He glances at you infatuatedly, then lowers his eyelids and looks away, revealing a self-deprecating and self-deprecating smile.
"The villain is no longer the top star in the Lingyin Pavilion. I was lucky enough to save a life. I don't dare to expect the sincerity of the adults. I just ask for the adults to show mercy and give the villain a chance to settle down... The villain is willing to be a cow. Be a horse and serve your lord."
Yue Beishu knelt on the ground, hesitantly put his hand on her knee, raised his eyes, his eyes were full of emotions, soft and forbearing.
"Are you really willing to stay with me?" Si Yiluo couldn't see the emotion in his eyes and confirmed again, "You won't regret it?"
"No regrets!"
Yue Bei wrote with a happy face, "This little man can't get what he wants!"
Si Yiluo smiled and reached out to help him.
"A man has gold at his knees, so there is no need to kneel to me."
Yue Beishu followed her strength and stood up. He was stunned when he heard the words and said silently: "I have a low status. No one has ever said this to me. Thank you, sir."
"Human dignity is earned by oneself. If Mr. Beishu wants to straighten his back and behave as a human being, he must have a clear conscience."
There was temptation in Si Yiluo's words.
"The adults call the villain to study in the north. The villain's ability to save a life this time depends entirely on the adults. From now on, the villain's life belongs to the adults..."
When he spoke, he looked at her without blinking. His eyes were so similar to Wei Heyan's that Si Yiluo was in a trance for a moment.
He coughed uncomfortably.
"I still have some things to do, so you should go back first."
Yue Beishu glanced at her untouched sour plum soup, and his Adam's apple twitched.
"I'll take my leave, villain."
Si Yiluo put down the spoon, calmed down for a long time, waited for the sky to darken, picked up a deserted place, climbed over the wall and left the house, hiding himself all the way, and knocked on the back door of Prince Zhan's house.
