Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Accompanied by Su Hanyun, Wu Chong walked back aggressively. When he reached the door, before the little eunuch who was in charge of welcoming him had time to push the door open, Wu Chong had already kicked the door. With a bang, the door hit the wall , the little eunuch turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground,

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"roll!"

Wu Chong roared angrily, the little eunuch ran away like a mouse that saw a lion, and disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty, it's almost there!"

Su Hanyun smiled, bowed his body and glanced around, and said in a low voice.

"I know, but I'm really angry in my heart!"

Wu Chong heaved a sigh of relief, walked into the main hall with strides, and lay down on the couch regardless of changing the dragon robe on his body, and said in a dark voice,
"These guys are really lawless. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the city of Chang'an, they can do such lawless things. I really want to cut them into pieces!"

"The servant understands His Majesty's thoughts!"

Su Hanyun also showed a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice,
"Officials like this who oppress the people and insult His Majesty's face should indeed be cut to death."

"However, Your Majesty, don't worry!"

"The servant is still thinking of using this case to turn Zhou An's Imperial Army and Chen Bingli's Ministry of Punishment upside down!"

"I know!"

Wu Chong took a deep breath, frowned, grabbed his wrist, and asked worriedly,
"Honestly, are you sure?"

"This case is now known to the whole world. If it can't be solved within ten days, I will really lose face. Moreover, it will also arouse the suspicion of Zhou An and Chen Bingli. It’s as difficult as reaching the sky!”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the spies released by the servant have already begun to work. Ten days is enough!"

Su Hanyun raised the corners of his mouth, showing confidence,

"Moreover, the slave already has some evidence."

"I believe in your ability, but don't underestimate those two old fellows. Although Chen Bingli claims to be upright and upright, I know that it is all his illusion, and Zheng Zhongming is his pride." Student, it is impossible for him to ignore death, and as for Zhou An, in order to appease the morale of the imperial army, he will definitely not stand by and watch!"

"Your resistance will not be small!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Su Hanyun was still full of confidence and said,

"If it's too easy, what's the point?"

……

Zhou House.

The moment Zhou An returned to the mansion, he immediately sent someone to call Xu Chao, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, to the mansion. The middle-aged man with a burly figure, a dark face, and some gray temples walked in. It was Pu Tong who knelt at his feet, with a look of unconcealable remorse on his face, and said,

"Zhou Shangshu, the humble position has caused you trouble!"

"You know!"

Zhou An glanced at him sullenly, and threw the teacup on the table over with his hands. With a bang, the teacup hit Xu Chao's forehead, and the hot tea splashed all around. Xu Chao hurriedly kowtowed to a bright red bloodstain,

"Zhou Shangshu calm down!"

"There's a fart to appease anger!"

Zhou An's face was gloomy, almost growling,
"Zhou was scolded by His Majesty in front of all civil and military officials, and almost lost his official position!"

"Conviction of humiliation!"

A trace of paleness appeared on Xu Chao's face, he took two steps forward and said,
"Also ask Zhou Shangshu to help!"

"Help, help, why didn't you think of today when you harmed someone? Now come to ask me for help?"

Zhou An was also quite angry in his heart. This matter is so big, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to be caught by His Majesty. If the latter takes this opportunity to suppress him, he will have no good reason resist.

This Xu Chao really caused a huge trouble for himself!
"Zhou Shangshu, I really know my mistake!"

Xu Chao kowtowed two more heads, begging in a low voice,

"Please help me, I have seniors and juniors, I can't just..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhou An glanced at him fiercely, and snorted,

"I don't care what you did in this matter, all the evidence must be wiped out before tomorrow morning!"

"Your Majesty has sent Su Hanyun to investigate. The little eunuch is not easy. If the investigation reveals anything, I can't keep you!"

"Understandable!"

Xu Chao nodded, ready to leave in a hurry, when he reached the door, Zhou An instructed again,
"If the little eunuch interrogates you, don't say a word!"

"He only has ten days, if he can't find anything, he has to obediently go back to the palace, and you guys will be fine!"

"Thank you, Zhou Shangshu, from my humble position!"

Xu Chao showed joy on his face, and quickly left the Zhou family compound.

Zhou An let out a long breath, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and said to himself,
"Su Hanyun, you are really capable, Zhou knows it, but this time, what can you come up with?"

"Humph……"

"Ten days, I think you won't be able to find anything by then, so what can you explain!"

……

Chen Mansion!

The sun was dazzling, Chen Bingli sat in the gazebo with a gloomy face, his palms hidden under his sleeves trembled slightly angrily.

On the opposite side of him was a middle-aged official with a thin figure and a high nose, bowing his body. He was Zheng Zhongming, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and also Chen Bingli's most proud student.

"Zhong Ming, you have disappointed me so much!"

Chen Bingli frowned into a knot, and sighed softly,
"Is this old man teaching you for so many years, training you, and helping you step by step to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, in order to let you bend the law for personal gain and oppress the people?"

"Teacher, this disciple knows he was wrong!"

Zheng Zhongming lowered his head, his sharp-edged face was full of sadness, and he said with unconcealable remorse in his tone,

"The disciple was deceived at the beginning, and accidentally fell into the way of Xu Chao, and ended up making such a big incident. I am ashamed of the teacher's teachings!"

"Hey……"

Chen Bingli sighed deeply, shook his head and said,

"Now, it's too late to say anything!"

"His Majesty Longyan was furious when such a big incident happened. He has already sent Su Hanyun to thoroughly investigate the matter. He will leave the palace with a promotion tomorrow."

"Director Su?"

When Zheng Zhongming heard this name, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he said quickly,
"He... His Majesty really sent him? Teacher, you must help me!"

"Hey……"

Chen Bingli looked at the most proud disciple, his wrinkled face was full of pain, he hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice,
"Although Su Hanyun is powerful, he is in the palace after all. He has no manpower outside the palace. As long as you wipe away all the evidence of what you did before, he won't be able to find anything!"

"And, he only has ten days."

"Ten days later, he couldn't find anything, so he had to go back!"

"do you understand?"

Zheng Zhongming was in a daze for a moment, with an unconcealable joy on his face, bowed and said,
"Disciple thank teacher for ordering!"

"Zhong Ming, this time, the teacher forgives you."

Chen Bingli sighed deeply again, patted the latter on the shoulder, and said earnestly,
"However, you have to reform yourself. In the future, you must never do similar things again, understand? As an official, you should benefit the people and seek the well-being of the people as your duty, not for your own selfish desires..."

"Disciple respectfully obeys teacher's instruction!"

Zheng Zhongming cupped his hands respectfully, and then left the Chen residence.

Outside the mansion, there was a groom waiting for him and a luxurious black carriage. Seeing his master appearing, the groom hurriedly greeted him flatteringly, and asked while helping him onto the horse,
"Master, how is it?"

"Humph!"

Zheng Zhongming glanced at Chen Fu with a grin, and said with a sneer,
"The old man still considers the relationship between teachers and students, he is willing to help me, and told me some things."

"The little eunuch has a total of ten days. As long as the master wipes out all the evidence, and then keeps silent for ten days, forgive him for not being able to find anything!"

"After ten days, he has to obediently go back to the palace!"

"Congratulations sir!"

The groom patted the horse properly, Zheng Zhongming ignored it, bent down and got into the carriage, glanced at the dark night, and said to himself,

"Su Hanyun...I want to see how you can bring me down!"

　Ask for a favorite, ask for a recommendation!
