Chapter 268

Shen Hua's eyes lit up, maybe this is a way, they have already counted in detail, including Mrs. Li's family, there are a total of more than a dozen people who are currently imprisoned in the sky prison, but if the insignificant ones are rescued first, then Let Master Li and the others pretend to be poisoned and die in prison, which makes sense.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Hua immediately called the steward of the Chang'an Association, and quickly told him about the new arrangement, and Mo Xuan also participated in it.

Two days later, at night, there was a large-scale robbery in the sky prison. When the court received the news, the emperor sent troops to encircle and suppress in anger, but the building was already empty.

In the Xuande Hall of the Imperial Palace, the old emperor looked angry, and the teacup in his hand was thrown directly on the head of the commander of the imperial guards.

"Ridiculous! So many of you can't even catch a few thieves? What use do I need you?"

Commander Wei bowed his head and said nothing, just looked at the ground silently.

"Your Majesty, calm down. If you lose your temper, the gain will outweigh the loss!"

Su Ho gently comforted the old emperor's emotions, but looked at the commander of the imperial guards with cold eyes, "Honestly, how many prisoners have been lost in the prison?"

Commander Wei felt his whole body go numb all of a sudden, and felt that the eyes of this Concubine Su were three points more terrifying than the evil spirits, and immediately replied tremblingly: "Ten...ten!"

"What? There are no more than fourteen or five people who have been sentenced to death by me. It's good for you, just leave me a small change? How do you do this job? Weicheng, tell me, how should I punish you?"

Wei Cheng kowtowed and said: "The general is convicted, and the general is willing to die, but I beg your majesty to let these brothers under me go."

As soon as Commander Wei said this, the soldiers were very moved, and they all said: "The general is willing to die in place of your lord, and I hope that your majesty will spare your life for the sake of your hard work."

"Yes, Your Majesty, after receiving the news, I went to hunt it down as soon as possible. However, those who robbed the prison seemed to be all Jianghu people. If it comes to fighting the enemy, the general will not back down, but in terms of personal skill, the general will not give up." Waiting is indeed no match for those people!"

"Need sophistry!" The old emperor slapped the table, these people will be executed at noon tomorrow, and now they are giving him such a moth, it is really unbearable!

Su Ho personally brought the ginseng tea and handed it to the old emperor, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to calm down, and then ask clearly, who are those who are left behind?"

"Qi Madam, the situation was urgent at that time, so I picked up the important criminals and snatched them first, including Lord Li Ran, Lord Sun Dezheng, and Li Ran's two sons and a nephew."

Only then did Su Ho's expression soften a lot, and when he turned his head to look at the emperor with a slight smile, "Your Majesty calm down, listen to this, there is no one who should be killed! Those who were rescued were all insignificant ones." only."

The old emperor's face finally softened a little, and he said to Weicheng: "Weicheng, you lead three hundred soldiers and horses to search the whole city, but you can only make unannounced visits and keep quiet!"

Commander Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing this, his life should have been saved!Immediately kowtowed heavily, "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing, the final general will definitely fulfill his mission!"

The emperor snorted coldly, waved his hand to signal them to go down, and then hugged Su Ho into his arms, "My concubine, who do you think this matter will be done by? What will be the purpose?"

Su He rolled his eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty, how can a courtier and a concubine know this? But since Commander Caiwei mentioned Jianghu people just now, and it is such a large-scale operation, then it must be related to the Jianghu organization, Your Majesty Why don't you send someone to check to see which Jianghu organizations are the most powerful in this imperial city, won't it be clear at a glance?"

The old emperor was thoughtful, and looked at Su Ho with rare sharp eyes, "I didn't expect my concubine to be so quick-witted, but it really impressed me!"

Su He coquettishly said: "Your Majesty... Could it be that in His Majesty's heart, the courtiers and concubines are so stupid?"

The emperor laughed, "How come? Concubine Ai is the smartest!"

Su Ho took advantage of the situation and fell into the old emperor's arms for some tenderness. After half an hour, Su Ho hurried out from the Xuande Palace, and while ordering his personal maid to deliver a letter to Feng Cha, he walked towards his bedroom.

Another half an hour later, Feng Zha entered Su Ho's bedroom with a gloomy face. At that time, Su Ho had just finished bathing, his long jet-black hair was hanging over his shoulders, and there were still traces of bruises on his snow-white skin. It looks very ambiguous.

Feng Cha went straight into the main hall, and then closed the door, "What are you looking for?"

"Do you know what happened last night?"

Feng Cha sneered, "Didn't we already know about this? I thought Shen Hua didn't have that much courage, but I didn't expect to underestimate her! But the elder brother who looks like Concubine Jing was not rescued."

"That's true, that's why I came to discuss with you. Concubine Jing saved Shen Hua back then. Now that Concubine Jing is dead, Shen Hua will definitely keep Li Ran in order to repay her kindness. This time she has mobilized the forces of the Chang'an Association. This is our Great opportunity!"

"what chance?"

Feng Cha was a little confused, but Su Ho sneered and said, "Naturally, it is a great opportunity to remove the influence of the Chang'an Association in Shen Hua's hands!"

Feng Cha pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid this matter will not be that easy! Besides, I don't have that much time right now."

Su Ho gave him a contemptuous look, "Stupid! Do we have to do it ourselves? You have used a lot of methods to kill with a knife!"

Feng Cha didn't care about being scolded by her, he just looked up at her and said, "Oh, tell me how to borrow a knife?"

Su Ho stretched out his hands and blew on the newly repainted nails, and said in a leisurely tone: "Just now I have mentioned something to the emperor, recently you let the wind outside, and let the emperor send Chang'an, the largest power in the city, to Those who investigate know that, in this way, our plan is already half successful."

Feng Zha suddenly understood, and he was overjoyed immediately, and stretched out his hand to give Su Ho a thumbs up, "Your Majesty is brilliant!"

Su Ho gave him a wink, "Okay, okay, you go ahead, the left and right are for our common goal, if we can use the emperor's hand to get rid of Shen Hua this time, wouldn't it save us a lot of effort ?”

"It's reasonable! Empress, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

……

On the other side, the old emperor never expected, but within a few hours, Li Ran and others who were originally imprisoned in the sky prison all bled from their seven orifices and died of poisoning.

The old emperor's face turned livid, and he immediately summoned his officials to discuss the matter, and Mo Xuan was naturally among those summoned.

"You must have heard about what happened before. Last night, a group of people from the rivers and lakes broke into the prison at night and robbed many criminals. But this morning, Li Ran and others who were not taken away were all poisoned and died. According to everyone In Aiqing's opinion, is this because someone in the martial arts is against the imperial court?"

As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, he heard Dongfang Shuo say: "Father, this is obviously someone who is dissatisfied with the imperial court! In my opinion, I should make an example to scare those martial artists!"

As soon as Dongfang Shuo said this, Mo Xuan frowned. It seems that he didn't learn how to be humble in the clan's mansion these days, but he seemed to be more ostentatious!

The old emperor was obviously satisfied with Dongfang Shuo's words, and immediately asked, "Tell me how to make an example to others? Right now, we haven't even found the figures of those who robbed the prison!"

Seeing the emperor asking him questions one after another, Dongfang Shuo felt a little satisfied at once, and raised his chin slightly, "My minister thought that he would just arrest and kill a few Jianghu people, and then post a notice to announce the cause of their death, saying that they were those who died. The accomplice of the prison robber..."

"absurd!"

Mo Xuan interrupted Dongfang Shuo's words, his black eyes were bottomless, and he was vaguely disappointed.

Seeing Mo Xuan's voice, the old emperor didn't care about Dongfang Shuo's thoughts, and instead asked Mo Xuan, "Does the national teacher have a different opinion? Let's hear it!"

Mo Xuan saluted politely, "I have lost my composure, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"It's okay, you and my ministers don't need to be so restrained." The old emperor spoke softly, without the slightest anger from before, which made many people in the court look at Mo Xuan in a different way.

Although the old emperor's favor to Mo Xuan, the one-word side-by-side king, is obvious to all, the obvious differential treatment like now still makes many people feel uncomfortable.

Dongfang Shuo is one of them. Even though he studied with Mo Xuan, in his opinion, a ruler is a ruler, and a minister is a minister. As a prince who may ascend to the throne in the future, how can Mo Xuan not give himself face like this?And the emperor, too, was so soft-spoken, those who didn't know thought this side-by-side king was the prince!

The old emperor didn't care about Dongfang Shuo's dissatisfaction, but Mo Xuan had a full view of his curling lips, and he couldn't help but sighed slightly. It seemed that he was going to teach a white-eyed wolf like what Madam said!

Mo Xuan straightened his mind before answering the emperor's question.

"Your Majesty, I think that the sixteenth prince's proposal is inappropriate, not to mention that killing chickens and monkeys can be effective for a while, but if you do so, it will provoke disputes between the court and the world, and the consequences will be disastrous."

The old emperor nodded slightly, "What else?"

"In addition, I feel that the robbery of Tianlao should not be publicized. One is to calm the hearts of the people, and the other is to save the face of the royal family."

"Sure enough, the national teacher is right. Shuo'er, although you have been studying with the national teacher for many days, your thoughts are not as good as the national teacher. I am really disappointed!"

Dongfang Shuo's complexion changed, "Yes, what my father taught me is that I will work harder in the future."

"Well, national teacher, so in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

Mo Xuan thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The case of Lord Li has been criticized by the people. Now that Concubine Jing and Lord Li have passed away, it is better to stop this matter. Those who escaped are just Those servants of the Li family or some distant relatives of the Li family are really not worth your Majesty's effort and manpower to hunt them down."

The old emperor looked at Mo Xuan thoughtfully and said, "Do you also think that I did something wrong?"

Mo Xuan looked at his nose and his heart, "Your Majesty always has his own considerations in doing things, and I dare not speak nonsense."

The old emperor nodded slightly, "So, just follow what Ai Qing said and make the big things smaller. By the way, since the Li family has passed away, considering that they have done their best for me, the funeral is just a matter of time." Leave it to you to do it, and let the world see that I am not a cruel person."

Little did he know that this fell into Mo Xuan's arms. He thought that if the emperor entrusted this matter to other people, they would have to arrange other people to steal the corpse back, but now, everything has been settled.

Mo Xuan led the order. Dongfang Shuo had a hard time in the court today. He was in a bad mood and felt a little dissatisfied with Mo Xuan. When he passed by the prince Dongfang Yi, he suddenly heard the prince sneer, "It seems that sixteen My younger brother's military adviser is not obedient to your words, he seems to be more liked by the emperor! If you can learn one or two tenths of him, I'm afraid you don't have to be low-key."

Dongfang Shuo's complexion became darker, he tossed his sleeves, and snorted coldly, "You don't need to worry about this matter, the prince should take good care of himself, maybe when the father thinks that he will abolish you, the prince position."
