Chapter 521 Rewards and punishments are clearly defined
Su Yu, the minister of Dali Temple, has paid great attention to health care these years, but Qin Xiao was summoned to the palace at noon yesterday until early the next morning. He stayed in his room, drank more than ten pots of tea, and ran away from the toilet.
I called dozens of times, just waiting for news from the palace.
When the guards of the Duke's Palace besieged Dali Temple the night before yesterday, Su Yu was not in the Yamen. Although he received a report that night and knew that something serious had happened in Dali Temple, he deliberately did not come to Dali Temple.
Su Yu dared not even think about killing the guards of the Duke's palace.
If there is still an explanation for killing Wei Bi, there is almost no room for reversal after killing those guards.
Although it was Qin Xiao who killed the man, the incident happened in Dali Temple, and Qin Xiao was also an official of Dali Temple. If the palace was to pursue the culprit, he, the minister of Dali Temple, would definitely be involved.
Until Qin Xiao was summoned to the palace, Su Yu hurried to Dali Temple after receiving the news. The whole Dali Temple was already in a state of trembling, with a sad look from top to bottom. Su Yu didn't know what to do next, so he could only
I sat in the room with a few subordinates and waited.
He knew that Qin Xiao would definitely not be able to escape this time, and it would be good if he could save his head. What mattered most was how the palace would deal with these officials in Dali Temple.
The bodies of the guards were carried back by the Ministry of Punishment. Looking at their posture, it was clear that they were going to start a big fight over this matter.
However, from yesterday noon to this morning, Qin Xiao had not returned yet, and there was no order from the palace.
In Su Yu's room, Shaoqing Yunlu, two temple ministers including Fei Xin, and six prime ministers were sitting in a circle, and there was a sad atmosphere in the air.
"I knew it was a dead star." It was already dawn, and everyone was waiting for the palace's decree as if they had accepted their fate. Another young minister, Yunlu, looked sad: "This street is almost destroyed by him. Wait.
In the Ministry of War, his immediate boss, Han Zhou, the head of the Treasury Department, died. I heard that he was just a jailer in Turtle City before, and his immediate boss was called...!"
"Han Yunong!" said one person.
Yun Lu nodded and said: "Yes, Han Yunong has also been sent to the south now. There is also General Heiyu. It is said that Qin Xiao was still a night crow under his command. General Heiyu was also killed in Xiling." He said angrily: "Now
He came to Dali Temple again, and in just a few days, everyone was tired."
Su Yu's scalp was numb. He had always been kind to his officials and had no official airs. But at this time, he couldn't help but look angry and sneered: "Yun Shaoqing, what do you mean by this? His current boss is
I’m telling you, I won’t end up well either?”
Yun Lu's body trembled, and then he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I made a mistake. I never meant this."
"Sir, Yun Shaoqing is just saying that Qin Xiao will cause harm wherever he goes, and there is absolutely no disrespect to you." Fei Xin said hurriedly: "Stop your anger!"
"That's all, we can all sit together today." Su Yu sighed: "In a few hours, there may not be a chance to sit and talk like this again. What do you think the saint will do to Qin Xiao?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, not daring to speak easily. After all, Yun Lu said: "Sir, Qin Xiao killed someone from the Duke of Chengguo's palace, how could he have a good ending? The official estimated that the case would be handed over to the palace.
When we arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Qin Xiao contradicted Lu Junzhong the night before yesterday, and Lu Junzhong left harsh words, which clearly meant that as long as Qin Xiao entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, he would not be able to come out alive."
"Yun Shaoqing's words make sense.

." Fei Xinxin smiled and said: "At that time, the lower official persuaded Qin Xiao to leave through the back door, but he refused to listen. He was young and energetic, relying on his own abilities, and insisted on rushing out to confront the guards of the Duke's Mansion. If it was just a verbal conflict.
That’s all, if you kill seven of their lives, no one can let go of such a thing.”
"Killing people from Duke Cheng's office not only offends the saint, but also offends the prime minister." Yun Lu sighed: "Qin Xiao can still live, that is simply a dream."
Su Yu nodded slightly, with a sad face: "How will the palace treat us? After all, those people died in front of Dali Temple."
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
If the palace really wants to implicate Dali Temple, the first person to bear the brunt is Su Yu, the minister of Dali Temple. It is hard to guess what will happen to the others, but Su Yu's official position will definitely not be preserved.
"What does this have to do with me?" Su Yu knew it well and said as if to comfort himself: "Qin Xiao did not take the initiative to mobilize Dali Temple. He committed murder and I was not present. This... this
What does it have to do with me?" He spread his hands, looking innocent and aggrieved, but everyone just pretended not to hear.
"That's all, if I am really convicted, or if all of you here are imprisoned, and those who have escaped, please take care of other people's families." Su Yu sighed and said: "We have been working together for many years.
Come here in peace and harmony, and take care of each other."
Everyone nodded.
But everyone is thinking in their hearts, if they are not implicated and others are convicted, they are afraid to avoid it, so how can they reach out to take care of their family members. If they are not innocent and become guilty, they will regret it.
"Sir...!" The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, and a man said out of breath: "Qin...Qin Shaoqing is back...is back...!"
Almost everyone in the room stood up at the same time and rushed out. Yun Lu, who was at the front, suddenly thought of something when he was halfway through, stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu's face looked a little ugly. Only then did the officials realize that in their desperation, they had actually neglected the official.
Everyone looked a little embarrassed. Although Su Yu was furious, she still tried her best to suppress her anger. She walked through the crowd and went out. Everyone followed closely behind. A large group of people came to the front yard like dark clouds. Qin Qin was seen from a distance.
Xiaozheng is coming this way.
Qin Xiao was seen wearing official robes, neatly tidied, and even in good spirits.
All the officials had not slept all night, and they were all very tired. They were surprised to see Qin Xiao so energetic. They thought that Qin Xiao had been in the palace for so long. He should be very frightened, and now that he was back, he should be even more exhausted.
How come you are so energetic despite all your efforts?
"Qin...Qin Xiao, what is the saint's will?" Yun Lu stood next to Su Yu and asked Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao glanced at the officials and saw that they were all senior officials from Dali Temple. In other parts of the courtyard, there were also other officials from Dali Temple watching from a distance.
"I was just about to ask all of you whether you have received the order from the palace." After what happened the night before, Qin Xiao really didn't have any good impression of the people in Dali Temple and said lazily: "Master Yun, you don't look good last night.
Didn't you sleep well?"
Su Yu frowned slightly and said, "Qin Shaoqing, when you came out of the palace just now, the saint didn't have any will?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"The official entered the palace yesterday." After all, Su Yu was the immediate superior, so Qin Xiao still gave him some face and said, "But he left the palace before Hai hour."
"You left the palace last night?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "After leaving the palace, I was really tired. I went home and took a hot bath, and then had a good sleep." He moved his body and said with a smile: "Now I have recovered my spirit. Hey, everyone.
Is there nothing, sir? Why are you here?"
Yun Lu still couldn't help but said: "Then what was the saint's intention when you entered the palace yesterday? You killed people from Chengguo's palace, didn't the saint punish you?"
"Master Yun really hopes that I will be punished?" Qin Xiao was also polite: "The saint is wise and wise, and with the laws of the country, of course he will not casually convict me."
When the officials of Dali Temple saw that Qin Xiao was indeed safe and sound and in better spirits than themselves, they all found it unbelievable.
"Qin Shaoqing, what's going on?" Su Yu asked, "Sage really doesn't want to pursue it anymore?"
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "Of course we will be held accountable."
The expressions of everyone present suddenly became tense. Qin Xiao sneered in his heart and said slowly: "Xiaguan is sitting in front of the Dali Temple and drinking. It is inappropriate. The saint fined Xiaguan half a year's salary. For the next six months, Xiaguan can only eat chaff.
It’s time to swallow the food.” He raised his hands and said, “Sir, if you have a lot of money, please lend me some money to help me deal with the next six months. When my salary is paid in half a year, I will pay it back immediately. As a colleague, I hope you can help me.
"
"Sage...sage will punish you with half a year's salary?" Yun Lu couldn't believe it.
Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Isn't half a year's salary a heavy penalty? Mr. Yun, I'm so poor that I can't survive without salary for a month. Half a year's salary penalty will cost me half my life."
Everyone saw that Qin Xiao didn't look like he was joking, and they couldn't understand how Qin Xiao could escape this catastrophe so easily.
"Why is the body in front of the door missing?" Qin Xiao asked: "Isn't it someone from the Ministry of Punishment who is watching?"
"They were carried away by people from the Ministry of Punishment yesterday." Feixin said hurriedly: "The Ministry of Punishment is ready to investigate the case thoroughly, but since the saint has no will, the corpses can only be sent to Duke Chengguo's mansion with their help."
Qin Xiao laughed. He killed someone, and the Criminal Department helped clean up the aftermath. This was unexpected.
At this time, Su Yu finally confirmed that Qin Xiao was not joking. As long as Qin Xiao was not punished, of course she would not be implicated, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly I heard a high-pitched voice saying: "There is an edict. Su Yu, the minister of Dali Temple, and Qin Xiao, the young minister, will take the edict!"
Then he saw a general secretary coming over, escorted by several dragon-scale guards. The person delivering the order was not Eunuch Wei, whom Qin Xiao knew. Su Yu's heart suddenly became tense as soon as he was relieved, and he hurried forward, while other officials
They all changed their colors and followed Su Yu in a panic as they knelt down to receive the order.
Qin Xiao knelt down next to Su Yu.
"The edict says: The young minister of Dali Temple behaved improperly. As a court official, he indulged in drunkenness in public, which was unbecoming, and he was fined half a year's salary." Tongshiren unfolded the imperial edict and read out: "However, if you do your job impartially and do your best, your loyalty and bravery are commendable.
As a special gift, I will give you a hundred pieces of silk and satin, a hundred taels of gold, a precious sword, and the privilege to wield a sword. I will also give you a building in the Shaoqing's Mansion, and two royal horses. I appreciate this!"
