Red House Shoufu

Chapter 178
The gavel sounded, and Lin Shu announced Li Jiamao's verdict on the spot.

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiamao's eyes widened in disbelief.Although Guochao didn't say that the doctor could not be punished, the Supreme Emperor had been in power for ten years, and the preferential treatment of officials made this group of people feel as if they had returned to the former Song Dynasty.

woo woo woo...

Li Jiamao struggled to get up, his eyes showed panic, fear and resentment.It's a pity that Lin Shu didn't even look at it, so he let the Long Guard drag him out of the government office.

The crowd of onlookers automatically vacated a large circle. Tan Mingming's soldiers were unequivocal about killing people. With the knife swung down, Li Jiamao's corpse was separated.

"My lord, the criminal Li Jiamao has been executed!"

The air was filled with the smell of blood, Lin Shu resisted the discomfort, and said indifferently: "Hang the head on the gate of the city, and show it to the public for seven days!"

As soon as Li Jiamao died, Shangguan Jing had long been intimidated by Lin Shu's lightning-fast methods.

Before waiting for Lin Shu's interrogation, he knelt in the hall and kowtowed for mercy.What kind of false edict, what kind of trespass, did not see that the dragon guard is so obedient?

Even if Lin Shu really passed on the imperial decree, with a wave of the imperial sword in his hand, wouldn't he be able to chop whoever he wanted?
"My lord, the next official... The sinner has been recruited, the sinner has been recruited..."

……

The government government trial took less than an hour.Lin Shu beheaded Li Jiamao, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, and took all the officials of the government, including Tongzhi Shangguan Jing, into custody.

When Lin Shu announced the crimes of Li Jiamao and others one by one in the courtroom, the onlookers not only did not feel that Lin Shu was harsh, but applauded instead.

The refugees knelt down and kowtowed one after another. Lin Shu walked out of the Yamen and saw that most of these refugees were old, weak, sick and disabled.

He lamented how difficult the people's livelihood was, and said loudly: "I am patrolling the heavens, and I know the sufferings of the fellow villagers. When I send someone to bring your relatives back, I will arrange them properly..."

Lin Shu cupped his hands and paid homage to the north: "Your Majesty sent me here this time, just because I don't trust you guys. Your Majesty is here, everyone's life will be better!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live the emperor!"...

The sons and daughters of this land are so simple, when Lin Shu finished his arrangement, not only the refugees, but also the surrounding people in the prefectural city shouted long live.

……

The government officials of the Daming Mansion were swept away by Lin Shu, and the government affairs were all on Lin Shu.When Du Zimu and Jia Zheng rushed over, Lin Shu was able to escape from the case.

Du Zimu took the post of prefect for the time being, while Jia Zheng helped him.Although Jia Zheng, who has never been in contact with practice, is not efficient, his interest is extraordinary.

At this time, Lin Shu was worried about one thing: Wan Zhongyuan and Luo Xiangming have not been caught so far, and the most important point is that the food for disaster relief and the weapons privately cast by Li Jiamao earlier have not been found.

"Bachelor, the last general has disrupted and reorganized the guards in the city, and they are under the control of the Dragon Guards for the time being."

Tan Mingming entered the door in a hurry, without wiping the rain off his face, he clasped his fists and said, "According to Shangguan Jing, the general sent people to intercept the young men who were sent to Zhuangzi outside the city. Relatives, put them together in the garden in the north of the city."

Lin Shu nodded, put down the documents in his hand, and said solemnly: "Next, we are afraid that we will have a tough battle. Wan Zhongyuan and Luo Xiangming escaped, and the silver, food and weapons that Li Jiamao plundered for Prince Yizhong have not yet arrived. There is no trace of them, and there should be a hiding place nearby. Before we find out their specific situation, we should not move lightly."

Tan Mingming replied: "Then we can't wait forever. The general thinks that we can start with the Zhuangzi who has been detected, and check one by one, and we can always find it."

Lin Shu shook his head, his eyes were full of worry: "Did General Tan forget that there is still a very difficult problem among the people in the city?"

"Bachelor, you mean the White Lotus Sect?"

"That's right, compared to Prince Yizhong who is in the open, the White Lotus Sect hidden in the dark is the most important thing."

Lin Shu picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Tan Mingming: "This is one of the letters in Li Jiamao's collection, please read it first."

Tan Mingming took it and opened it. What was mentioned in the letter made him break out in a cold sweat.

It turns out that Li Jiamao is not only a member of Prince Yizhong's residence, he also has another identity, that is, a leader of the White Lotus Sect.Moreover, he was able to be promoted so quickly, and he could not do without the secret support of the White Lotus Sect.

And according to the words in the letter, there is a senior official of the White Lotus Sect in Prince Yizhong's mansion.It's just that the content is cryptic, and it doesn't say who it is.

During this flood, the White Lotus Sect planned to recruit congregants in Daming Mansion and rekindle the White Lotus Sacred Flame. Unfortunately, Lin Shu quickly cut the mess, and did not give Li Jiamao and the White Lotus Sect a chance at all.

After Tan Mingming read the letter, Lin Shu ordered: "The most important thing now is to stabilize the Fucheng. The Daming Mansion is connected to Shuntian Mansion, Shandong and Henan. It must not be messed up. A little money, food and grass are not worth mentioning. Wait for the British government to Once the men and horses arrive, it won’t be too late to go out of the city to search and suppress..."

……

After several days of high temperature, the capital finally ushered in a ray of coolness.

It was drizzling that day, and Daiyu was sitting by the window in a daze.Bai Jingjing in her arms squinted her eyes and pretended to sleep, making a snoring sound from time to time.

Xueyan walked into the room lightly, and handed a letter to Daiyu: "Girl, master's letter..."

"What? Brother has a letter delivered?"

Hearing that it was Lin Shu who sent the letter, Daiyu got up eagerly, waking up the sleeping kitten.

Amid the kitten's meowing protests, Daiyu stuffed the cat into Xueyan's arms, opened the letter and read it.

The letter was very thick, but what was actually written to her was only a few short sentences.

Daiyu frowned, and after receiving the letter, she told Xueyan: "Go arrange the carriage, I want to go to the palace!"

The county lord, Yijia, made preparations very quickly. Under the escort of a group of guards, Daiyu arrived at the gate of the palace two quarters of an hour later.

In the wind and rain, Daiyu sat in the carriage quietly waiting for the emperor's summons.After a while, Xia Shouzhong came to greet him in person.

"Master, it's raining, why are you here today?"

Daiyu opened the curtain and replied seriously: "Something happened, I have something to hand over to Your Majesty!"

Xia Shouzhong saw that Daiyu was so solemn, so he didn't dare to delay, and let the carriage drive directly into the palace city until it reached the Qinzheng Hall.

……

In the Hall of Qinzheng, the emperor finished watching the secret performance sent by Lin Shutuo Daiyu. He had always hated the common people, but when he saw the tragic scene depicted in Lin Shutuo's performance, his heart burst into anger.

"Should kill!"

Snapped!
The emperor slammed the memorial on the table, and was about to speak, when the voice of the eunuch guarding the gate came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Daming Palace hastened the secret performance!"

"Bring it up!"

When the emperor opened the newly sent secret memorial, he saw that it read: "Chen Lin Shu urgently wrote to His Majesty, Li Jiamao, the prefect of the Daming Prefecture, and Shangguan Jing, the Tongzhi, seized the food for disaster relief, forged weapons privately, and gathered young and strong to secretly train private soldiers. The person behind it is Prince Yizhong Gao Wanjin..."

There are nearly a thousand words in the eloquence, and there are several confiscated letters, account books and other things in the box containing the secret performance.The emperor ignored Daiyu who was still in the palace, and opened the envelopes to read.

After roughly reading it, the emperor's face turned livid. He sat on the chair in silence for a long time, and finally yelled angrily: "Arrogance! I really don't know how to live or die...Come here, King Xuan Zhongshun enters the palace!"
