Conspiracy

Chapter 288

The servant of the Ministry of Rites stood outside the prison door and glared, "A group of idiots! The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was drugged and stunned. If this kind of scandal spreads, will our Ministry of Criminal Justice lose face?!"

He originally changed into his official uniform and planned to enter the palace for a palace banquet, but who would have made such a fuss!

The jailer stepped forward and bowed, and explained cautiously, "Lord Wu, calm down! Just now, my subordinates went out for something, and I never expected that there would be troubles! The subordinates will investigate now, and we must find out that villain!" "

Wu Shilang kicked the prison boss to the ground, "It's really not enough to succeed! Two people are left to investigate! Qingshu! Immediately call people to Liu Shangshu's residence in the household department to investigate the theft of his house."

The person Wu Shilang called Qing Shu was the master of the Ministry of Punishment. Before he could answer, he saw several government officials rushing in in a panic.

"My lord! Something happened!"

"What's the matter?" Wu Shilang turned impatiently and said, "Tell me! Say it quickly!"

The yamen official looked embarrassed, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Reporting to my lord, many lords' homes have been stolen, and their silver treasury has been looted. And those lords have become..."

Wu Shilang suddenly felt a pain in the root of his teeth, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"They are all insane. They cut the official uniforms with scissors, and they talk nonsense in front of their houses, saying that their money is obtained by searching for people's fat and people's anointing."

"What? Did the person who came to report the crime say that the murderer left any clues?"

"My lord, those family members and servants all said that the walls of their house were written with the words of deceitful judgment in dog's blood. And the thief left a letter saying that it was taken from the people, and it should be used for the people. Jewelry, silver taels and bank notes are everywhere in the city of Kyoto, and the common people are rushing to grab them everywhere, which has caused great trouble to the defenders of Kyoto."

Wu Shilang's head suddenly grew big, and his mustache trembled angrily, "Did you do it? Or was it painted with dog's blood? Didn't we catch all those who made trouble in the name of Sly Judge?" gone?"

"It's hard to say about this villain, how do you think about this matter?"

"Immediately apply for the deployment of troops and forcefully suppress it! Prevent those mobs from causing more trouble! This matter must not reach the emperor's ears!"

"Suppression? Wouldn't this be bad?"

The yamen official looked for help and turned to the master Li Qingshu, who stroked his goat beard and said, "My lord, it is indeed inappropriate. The thief robbed the government for the sake of the people, and the court lost face, but this man made a big deal of it." Good reputation. This matter is already unstoppable, if we apply to send troops to suppress it again, the imperial court will lose popular support, and your official position will be even more difficult to protect!"

Wu Shilang obviously listened to the master's words, restrained his anger, and asked kindly, "Then what does the master think?"

"Someone should take the blame for this matter. As long as your lord transfers the dirty water, not only will the emperor and lord Shangshu not blame you, maybe he will give you a great credit."

He Lan was lying on her side on the straw, and the ice water that had been poured just now had already flowed down the skirt of her clothes and onto the straw under her body.Resisting the discomfort caused by the sticky clothes, through the covered messy hair, he happened to see the viciousness in the master's eyes.

Wu Shilang is just a fool on the wall, happy events depend on his master, so he couldn't wait to ask after hearing the words, "Master, what do you mean?"

"My lord, we can definitely let Su Zhen take the blame."

"What? Su Zhen? Didn't he escape from the capital a long time ago?"

"My lord doesn't know, there are a lot of rumors in the capital that Su Zhen has returned to the capital. He was originally a sixth-rank young minister appointed by the emperor, but despite his status, he is also the eldest son of the Taifu's mansion. A person who is used to being honored and favored." Suddenly, he became a wanted criminal who murdered and absconded. Do you think he has a psychological gap?"

Wu Shilang was led by the nose unknowingly by the master, "It's right to be unwilling. He's not bad-tempered, but he's a little stubborn, but he doesn't have a brain. He behaves boldly and recklessly. He deserves this fate."

"In that case, why don't we dirty him up again?"

"But the splashing of dirty water, wouldn't it be too far-fetched?"

"Don't worry! Absolutely not! Think about it, Su Zhen herself has hatred for the imperial court, and she can't help but seek revenge after coming back, which shows that this person has a violent temper. Besides, he also intervened in the previous conspiracy case However, in the end, he made up a random story, and found a dead civet cat from nowhere to take the blame. Maybe he hid the deceitful sentence and waited to deal with the court one day. You see, this is not Did it come true? Maybe he really did it!"

Seeing that Wu Shilang was a little moved by him, and he no longer wanted to find out the truth, Li Qingshu waved his hand to let the officials out of the prison, and then continued to add fuel to the fire.

"My lord, you have been in this position of servant for many years, don't you want to go up again?"

"Li Qingshu! Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Qingshu walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "My lord, you have been in the officialdom for a long time, but you have been suppressed by Lord Shangshu. Although it is said that His Royal Highness King Qin was imprisoned by the crown prince, the emperor has been in the sky from the beginning to the end." There is no statement. Between father and son, broken bones are still connected. If you can help His Royal Highness King Qin and use Su Zhen to defeat the prince, let alone a mere minister, even the prime minister will become your pocket of things."

"But if we talk empty words, can the emperor believe it?"

"Su Zhen lit the fuse between the prince and His Highness King Qin, do you think the emperor can tolerate her?"

"That's right, that's the way it is."

"My lord, the most important thing now is to send someone to guide the public opinion. As long as Su Zhen's reputation is ruined, everything will come naturally."

"Okay! Then do as you say, Master!"

"Thank you for your trust!"

Wu Shilang surrounded himself in the big cake that Li Qingshu had drawn for him, and the slightest doubt that was still there before disappeared.

The two looked at each other and showed a sinister smile at the same time.

After hearing this, He Lan dismissed what the two said, closed her half-opened eyes, and pretended to be in a coma like everyone else.

They all want to step on Su Zhen's corpse to get to the top, but they are not afraid of stepping on the blade of the knife and getting a bloody foot.

But then again, could the chaos in the capital really have something to do with Su Zhen?What she said before leaving clearly meant something.
He Lan turned her thoughts back to when Yue Xian'er was determined to join Shang Yici, but accidentally left a loophole, so that Shang Yici sent people from the Huang family to find out, but fell into the illusion they set up by mistake, As for becoming a part of that trial-and-error fantasy.

At that time, there was a rift between Yue Xian'er and Shang Yici, but they never wavered in their determination to kill Su Zhen.

Later, Jing'er deliberately set up a trap in order to save Su Zhen.But thinking about it now, Su Zhen didn't resist at that time, could there really be another reason?
