Chapter 281 Charcoal Thief!

Killing is a very simple thing. A three-year-old child can still kill people with one blow with a sharp weapon, but how to kill and who to kill is a very particular thing.

After Li Xin left Weiyang Palace, he did not go home and went straight to the Dali Temple prison.

As soon as he arrived at Dali Temple, he had not seen Chen Gang and others who were pressed into the Dali Temple prison. The current Dali Temple Minister Han Yong rushed over from Weiyang Palace. The Dali Temple Minister ran away and panted. After finally rushing back, he bowed to Li Xin repeatedly: "Tao Fu, Tai Fu, aren't you going to kill someone in my Dali Temple prison?"

Marquis Jing'an said with a blank expression: "Han Qing is not allowed?"

Han Yong smiled bitterly and said, "It is not allowed to be a subordinate, but the crimes of several prime ministers will not be deceased. Secondly, since I have entered Dali Temple, I have to check the people from Dali Temple. You can't be so unreasonable, right?"

"What is the reason?"

Marquis Jing'an looked up and down at the Dali Temple Minister and sneered: "If you remember correctly, Yan Shouzhai, the current Censor, was once the Dali Temple Minister, and Han Qingzheng's old boss."

Han Yong looked solemn: "Taofu, my Dali Temple is responsible for the criminal prosecution. Even the prisoner who died in the Ministry of Justice can do it. What's more, the prime ministers have not died in the Ministry of Justice. You are the Taifu and an old minister of several dynasties. You can't take the lead in breaking the rules of the court, right?"

"The Xiaguan and Yan Sikong do have old age, but there is no affair in the Three Laws. Dali Temple is in accordance with the rules of conduct. If the Taifu killed someone in the Dali Temple today, the Xiaguan, the Dali Temple Minister, will be the most incompetent Dali Temple Minister in the Dajin!"

Han Yong bowed his head deeply to Li Xin.

"Taifu, let's go to Dali Temple for a few days to review."

Marquis Jing'an looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a blank expression.

"Just just now, Han Qing must have heard what His Majesty said. His Majesty said that he would let this official dominate the matter. Why do you civil officials still want to join forces and ignore the emperor's will at this time?"

Li Xin waved his hand, and forty or fifty Yulin Guards behind him immediately surrounded him and stood behind Li Xin.

"Listen, I just borrowed the Dali Temple prison today, and I had to hand them over to Dali Temple. If Han Qing felt that it was not in line with the rules of association, I could also take over the Dali Temple for the time being."

Han Yong looked at the Yulinwei who was like a wolf and a tiger behind Li Xin and swallowed.

"Teacher Li, you..."

Marquis Jing'an smiled coldly: "Just now in Weiyang Palace, Han Qing was one of the people kneeling on the ground. Yes, you stood up later, and I also said that you could not be investigated, but you are also one of Yan Sikong's cliques. Whether to investigate or not is just a word from me!"

"Get out of here!"

Han Yong was a serious scholar. He became a Jinshi in his twenties and became an official in the court. He was a scholar who had never even touched a crossbow. When he was shouted by General Li Xin, he immediately took a few steps back and made way for the Yulin Guard Prison.

Li Xin walked in and looked back at Han Yong.

"Han Qingzheng, the court rules in your mind are useless now. You are still trying to protect Yan Shouzhai at this time. You should go home and think about how to protect yourself!"

"This matter will never stop at these five people in prison. For more than 40 years of inheritance from the Jin Dynasty, the civil officials in the court became more and more arrogant. Now, this capital city does not require blood to be washed, and you scholars don't know what awe means!"

Han Yong is naturally not a fool if he can be a minister of Dali Temple. He already understood what the tutor wanted to do in these words of Li Xin. Han Qing was gritting his teeth and angrily speaking to Li Xin's back: "When Emperor Wu unified the world, he decided to share the priests with the literati. If the tutor killed civil officials without permission, he would be infamous for thousands of years and be scolded by future generations!"

Marquis Jing'an didn't look back, his voice was cold.

"I have to bear all the sins!"

After saying that, he stepped into the Dali Temple Prison. The Yulin Guards behind him followed in five or six, while the remaining Yulin Guards stayed outside, guarding the gateway of the prison, and prohibiting anyone from entering the Dali Temple Prison again.

The four prime ministers and a censor who were taken to the Dali Temple prison just now in the Weiyang Palace were all locked up in the deepest prison in the Dali Temple.

Generally, ordinary cases are handled by the Ministry of Justice. Only disputed cases will be investigated by Dali Temple. Those responsible for Dali Temple must be people with officials. Therefore, the conditions of the Dali Temple prison are very good, without much smell, and the hay in the prison cell is also brand new, and there is no grievance for several prime ministers.

Several prime ministers were locked in five cells, but they were all together. When Marquis Jing'an came to the doors of these five cells, he asked someone to bring a chair over and sit down in the middle of the five cells.

At this time, the prime ministers already knew that Li Xin had arrived, but they all faced the wall and were unwilling to look at Li Xin.

Marquis Jing'an sat on the chair and did not speak. Instead, he made a cup of tea and held it in his hand. After drinking a cup of tea slowly, he threw the tea in his hand on the ground. As soon as the celadon bowl hit the ground, it immediately fell to pieces.

There was no sound in the prison, but with the sound of the celadon breaking, the five people were frightened and trembled unconsciously.

Marquis Jing'an sat on the chair, put his hands in his sleeves, and said lightly.

"I saw a story before. There was a minister in the story, who was also an auxiliary minister like you. The intention was probably very similar to you. After the emperor was in power for twenty-eight days, he felt that the emperor was not good, so he directly deposed the emperor and changed another one."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled: "But that minister is the general in charge of the world's troops, and you are just civil servants in charge of the Censorate and the Shangshutai."

The five top scholars were silent and ignored Li Xin.

Li Xin was not angry either and continued to speak.

"One of them did not get the Three Imperial Guards, and the other did not get the Imperial Guards of the Gyeonggi. It would be too naive to conspire to depose the emperor by relying on one of the Great Governors who can transfer troops but cannot control the troops, and also have the two ends of the rat.

"At this time, your plan has obviously failed."

The smile on Marquis Jing'an's face calmed down and continued, "The remaining question is, how many people want to die in the capital?"

"You five will definitely not be able to escape."

"Now I will prepare some writing and ink for you, and you will write a list to calm this political chaos. As for how many people are written on the paper, it depends on your sincerity."

Speaking of this, Li Xin stood up, carrying his hands on his back, and his voice was cold.

"However, if the list written by several people cannot satisfy me, I will have to do the old things about Emperor Wu's nightmare."

During the reign of Emperor Wu, some people wanted to nightmare the emperor. After being discovered, the emperor was furious and ordered the cruel official Zhou Yuanli to follow the clues and pick them and pull them. In more than a year, more than 10,000 people died in the capital, and countless people were confiscated and exiled.

The five prime ministers were all those who memorized the allusions of the past dynasties, so they naturally knew what the old story of Yan Zhen meant. After hearing Li Xin's words, they couldn't help but tremble.

Chen Kuan, who had been silent, turned to Li Xin and glared at him.
