Chapter 42 The Prince at Night(1/2)

Dongdongdongdongdongdong...

Heavy steps on the stairs, shocking the spring swallows under the eaves.

Between the corridors of Tinghu Lake, all the ladies and scholars were shaking their heads, looking at the pairs of long boots passing by.

In the hall, everyone's eyes looked at the door, and the sounds of swallowing saliva came one after another.

Bang!

The wooden door was kicked open, and the black feathered guard wearing black fish scale armor entered in one after another with a crossbow and a official sword, surrounding the entire hall from left to right.

They were all brave and brave in the army of Wu Lulin, and their momentum was beyond the ordinary soldiers. Several young talented women, Hua Rong, screamed in surprise and hurriedly covered their mouths. Before they saw the main master, several people had already knelt down timidly.

Su Xiangning's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly hid in the small building behind the hall. She wanted to leave through the back door but was blocked by the Black Feather Guards. No one could leave at all.

Step...step...step...step...

The long boots embroidered with gold edges made a crisp sound on the wooden board, getting closer and closer. The atmosphere in the hall fell to freezing point, and even the breathing sound briefly stopped.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, wearing a silver military uniform, a gauze hat, outlined gold wire, and holding a snow-white sword, strode into the Nuodazheng Hall.

Kyoto Tai Sui, Cao Hua!

"hiss---"

There was a sound of air conditioning, and then it came to an abrupt end. More than 300 people present knelt down halfway, and the rest bowed their heads and dared not have any contact with the man's eyes.

The cold-faced man walked forward strode forward, and everyone along the way separated from each other. The needles fell in the hall, and only one footsteps fell into everyone's hearts.

Chen Jingliu sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the increasingly moving figure, unable to understand.

How could he come over?

She was already full of grievances and could not argue, but at this moment she was in a state of confusion, and she didn't know how to describe it.

Cao Hua walked past the crowd without looking sideways, came to Chen Jingliu, looking at the five guides and scattered hair on her face, and some blood stains oozed out of the corners of her mouth.

"stand up."

Chen Jingliu was confused, but just held the landscape hairpin tightly and looked at the calm eyes at a loss. She was not afraid of the crowd just now, but now she was a little scared.

"You... don't be impulsive..."

The sound was like a mosquito roaring, and before the words were spoken, the man had already walked away.

The faces of several officials changed slightly. The Minister Su Mu hurriedly got up and raised his hand and said, "Governor Cao..."

Cao Hua raised the sword in his hand and shook it lightly. The person sitting on the platform hurriedly retreated to both sides, held his fists and greeted him, leaving only a young man in white still.

Zhao Tianluo first saw Cao Hua, but was shocked by this arrogance. The emperor was not necessarily so stanced. Although she was the daughter of a vassal king, she was also higher than the eunuch's adopted son, and she was actually ignored so much. She raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Cao Hua, you are bold, this poetry meeting..."

Ignore her at all.

As if no one was around Cao Hua, he walked to the Taishi chair in the middle of the high platform and sat down, and his sword suddenly slapped on the table.

Bang!

The crisp sound was like a gavel, spreading throughout the audience in an instant. The remaining half of the people in the hall also knelt down in panic.

"Get up!"

Zhao Tianluo had seen this scene, his eyes were blazing fire, and he angrily scolded such a talented scholar who was not a little bit of bone. He just spoke up for justice and criticized Cao Hua for all kinds of crimes. Now Cao Hua came over but knelt faster than anyone else. This is the backbone of the future country.

It’s a pity that under a hundred crossbows, my backbone is really not very valuable. The hall is silent, and I even breathe carefully.

Cao Hua leaned on the chair and looked at the group of young men in gold and silver below: "Who did the hand?"

No one dares to answer.

At this moment, no one dared to admit what happened just now. Even if he just cursed, Cao Hua knew that his tongue would be cut off. Everyone was sweating all over his face, and they did not blame everyone. They just hope that Cao Taisui would take into account the reaction of the emperor, restrain himself a little, and scold him.

"Don't you dare to act?"

Cao Hua waited for a long time and saw no one answering, so he hooked his finger at the Hei Yuwei Guard: "Start from the far left, come one by one, I have time, so there is no hurry."

"promise!"

Two black feather guards stepped forward and picked up a scholar with a terrified face.

"Cao Hua, you dare!"

Zhao Tianluo slapped the table hard, and the tea cup was overturned and the tea flowed everywhere. This was Bianjing. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was surnamed Zhao, but not Cao! She trembled all over and glared at the man next to her who almost despised the imperial power.

Cao Hua seemed to remember the one next to him and smiled apologetically: "I almost forgot to go out and kill him, don't scare the princess."

"promise!"

When the Black Feather Guard got the order, he immediately dragged the person out the door.

"Sir, please spare me... it has nothing to do with me...ah..."

The little scholar was so scared that he was shattered and his legs were fluttering on the ground, but there was the opponent of two military men. After being held out of the door, the sound of a knife was drawn, and the crying sound of begging for mercy came suddenly.

"ah--"

"Woo--"

There was a noise in the hall, with horror and a woman crying. Everyone was trembling. Some timids fainted directly on the spot.

Chen Jingliu was stunned and got up to try to dissuade him, but Han'er was supported and sent to the rear. She couldn't break free and still shouted: "Stop, don't do this..."

The man turned a deaf ear.

Just behind the high platform, there was only a wall. Su Xiangning covered her ears and squatted on the ground. Her dress was soaked in sweat, and her mind was in chaos. She forced the urge to cry and did not dare to make any sound.

Zhao Tianluo's eyes were so bitter that he stood up and looked at Cao Hua. His fingers kept trembling with anger: "How dare you...How dare you..." She never thought that an imperial official could be so arrogant that the emperor would be famous for killing people. This person even saved the crime. He just hooked his finger and killed a person's life. If the palace gate was closed, would he be the night emperor of the Song Dynasty?

"Next!"

Cao Hua tapped the table with his fingers, not caring about the noise beside him.

The two black feather guards came back, grabbed a lady from the official family and walked outside. This time, they didn't even cry and were shocked.

"Governor spares your life, Governor spares your life..."

The noise rang out again, and the talented and beautiful woman in the hall finally realized that he was not joking and begging for mercy.

"Governor, no!"

The minister Su Mu was so brave that he saw the dirty things in the court. He had seen them before, but he had encountered such blatant slanderous devotion to human life. He hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, but the minister of the Ministry of Rites was very respectful. He was too far apart from the emperor's official title of Marquis of Wu'an, and he was also ignored.

Three, four, five...

Su Mu and Zhao Tianluo watched the scholars being pulled out, and all kinds of good and bad things were said, even the emperor lifted them out on the spot. Cao Hua just turned his head slightly: "Yanglou will robbers intervene in, and will walk in a big way to slander the important officials in the court, intending to provoke discord and destroy the foundation of my Song Dynasty. The memorial has been written, and I will apologize to Your Majesty tomorrow!"

"Governor-in-chief can't!"

Su Mu was stunned on the spot, and the family was executed by a serious crime of corruption. How could he be held on the head at will?

Cao Hua narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't you believe me? Are you willing to guarantee them?"

Su Mu was speechless immediately. Is he involved in the rebels? It’s not just a matter of Dian Kuisi’s words, evidence? Just kill a few civilians. What kind of evidence does Dian Kuisi have to "create"? How can he guarantee it?

Zhao Tianluo's face turned red with anger: "Cao Hua, even if what you said is true, you should ask the emperor first. How can you kill first and then report?"

Cao Hua threw the snow-white sword on the table and pointed to the four words "Wu'an Tianxia" on the blade: "Your Highness has just arrived in the capital, and I'm afraid he doesn't know that this sword was given by the emperor. Those who are planning to rebel and chaotic countries can take action first and then report. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Su."

The minister Su Mu nodded with difficulty. This was indeed the right given to the Black Yuwei Guard by the emperor, but he never thought that Cao Hua really dared to use it like this.

"you!"

Zhao Tianluo stared at his eyes, his eyes were covered in blood, but he was helpless.

The people were dragged out one by one until the Heiyu Guard captured an eleven or 2-year-old boy. Zhao Tianluo could no longer help but scolded, "You...How dare you, a traitor..."

"What are you doing to me!"

Cao Hua suddenly stood up and scolded, staring at Princess Yong'an.

What can you do without even having to do whatever you want without excuses?

The entire Yanglou Street is filled with black feather guards, and even a fly cannot fly out. The dignified Marquis of Wu'an only punishes Gao Yanei three drinks of wine. The worst one is to kill a few scholars, and the salary for three years will be fined. What can I do?

Zhao Tianluo shivered, all of whom were shocked by the sudden sound, and fell back into the chair and didn't say anything for a while.

Six, seven, eight...

The dialogue was heard in everyone's ears, and the only luck disappeared. This is a mad dog, a mad dog whose life is worse than grass in his eyes.

Finally, after raising ten people out, someone couldn't resist and hurriedly stood up and pointed at a young scholar next to him: "Mr. Cao, it's him. I can see clearly when he was moving his hands while he was just in trouble."

"oh."

Cao Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll say it earlier, so many people died in vain."

So many people died in vain?

So you still know!

Everyone was shocked by this relaxed smile and was shaking, and they crawled on the ground and shivered. The identified young scholar was bloodless and hurriedly kowtowed on the ground: "Sir, please spare me, please spare me..."

The begging for mercy was very powerless. He knew that he would die, but his instinct to survive was saying this pleading without any nutrition.

Cao Hua looked at the scholar: "Was that hand hit?"
To be continued...
