"Destroy that knife?" King Qi rolled his eyes, immediately understood what Lang Wuxu meant, and asked softly, "You mean to destroy Qiu Junpu?"

"Exactly." Lang Wuxu nodded and said: "Qiu Junyu is the most cruel official in the Qin Dynasty, cruel and heartless. People hate it to the bone, and now he has become the crown prince's knife, and he is biting us like crazy, if this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles."

Several officials immediately approached, and someone said: "That's right, since the crown prince used this knife, let's destroy this knife. As long as the Ministry of Punishment is not under the crown prince's control, the crisis we are facing can be easily resolved."

"Oh?" King Qi was thoughtful.

Lang Wuxu said solemnly: "As long as Lang Wuxu is overthrown, even if the crown prince is in charge of the country, he has no right to appoint or remove the six ministers. If the position of Minister of punishment is vacant, the Holy Majesty must appoint another one. At that time, we only need to prevent the princelings If someone sits in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice will not be able to bite us."

King Qi nodded slightly and asked, "Is there a way to bring down Qiu Junpao?"

Everyone looked at each other, and an official said: "You can go and check his family property thoroughly. This person has been an official in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for many years, and the back of his butt must be unclean...!"

Lang Wuxu shook his head and said: "We have no evidence, and we don't have the Holy Majesty's will, so we can't conduct a thorough investigation of Qiu Junhao in the open, and even though Qiu Junhao is cruel, he is careful as an official, and wants to catch him as a corrupt agent. It's not easy, I'm afraid we haven't found the evidence yet, but he will catch us off guard."

"Then what should I do?" Some officials suddenly became anxious again.

The current situation can't help them not being impatient. Their biggest backer is King Qi, but King Qi without the support of the emperor can't use any strength at all. Now almost every day, officials of the King Qi Party are charged with various crimes. If this continues, it won't be long before all the officials present will be dragged by Qiu Junyu to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Qiu Junyu's big prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is a shocking experience.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Lang Wuxu's mouth, and said: "It's not difficult to find trouble with him, he has been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for more than ten years, and the cases he has handled are as numerous as a cow's hair, tell me, how many unjust, false and wrong cases are there? "

"Oh?" King Qi seemed to understand something, and asked, "You mean to start from here?"

Lang Wuxu cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, there are as many cases of injustice under Qiu Junbao's hands. It is easy to find out many of his injustices. Although the Holy Majesty decreed that the prince should supervise the country, he also decreed that His Highness should assist the prince to supervise the country. The injustice case that has been judged is serious, His Highness, as the auxiliary country, can certainly intervene in it, as long as the evidence in our hands is convincing, Qiu Junyu will not be able to escape no matter what, even if it is the crown prince, he will not dare to defend it."

"Wonderful strategy." The official next to him smiled and said, "Master Lang is worthy of being a wise man. As long as Qiu Jun is brought down, the sword in the prince's hand will be gone. At that time, we will try our best to fight for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment... After all, Zhongshu There is also Grand Master Xu Congyang in the province, as long as Grand Master Xu and His Royal Highness jointly recommend it to the Holy Majesty, I will follow behind and submit a letter to the Holy Majesty, and the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment must not fall into the hands of the princelings."

"That's right." Another official seemed to be relieved, "If there is a chance for our people to take charge of the Ministry of Punishment, we can turn defeat into victory when we go back and rectify the princelings."

King Qi was thoughtful, and after a while, he asked: "Master Lang, can you find physical and personal evidence?"

Lang Wuxu nodded and smiled lightly: "My lord, Qiu Junyu has been domineering in the Ministry of Punishment for many years, and the people who hate him are not just other departments, there are also his enemies in the Ministry of Punishment."

King Qi understood, and said softly: "You must be careful at this time, and they must not let them know what happened."

"Your Highness, don't worry, this matter will be handled by the officials themselves." Lang Wuxu is very clear that in the eyes of the princelings, he is the backbone of the Qi Royal Party, and once the Qi Royal Party collapses, he will be the first to be unable to escape Yes, now is the time for you to die and live, and you can't allow yourself to back down. When you betrayed An Guogong Huang Ju and turned to King Qi, there is no other way out. "When the case becomes serious and there is conclusive evidence, Your Highness will You can take action and pull that cruel official Qiu Junhao off his horse."

When Lang Wuxu said this, everyone immediately felt that there was a glimmer of light in the gloomy future.

"Everyone, although the crown prince seems to have been ignorant of court affairs for many years, everyone has seen clearly this time. Although our highness the crown prince stays at home, his strength cannot be underestimated." Suddenly a low voice came from the side. Everyone looked over and saw a scribe in a gray robe sitting on a chair with a very serious expression. These people often come to Qi Palace these days, so they all know each other. This person is the head of Qi Palace. Shi Lu Haosheng.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Haosheng just sat aside and didn't speak, but when he spoke suddenly, everyone's eyes were on him.

"Lu Changshi is right." Lang Wuxu hurriedly said, "What insight does Lu Changshi have?"

"I don't have a good idea." Lu Haosheng was thoughtful, "Master Lang starts with Qiu Junyu. From the current point of view, it is a good idea, but when you bring down Qiu Junyu, you should also think about the next thing .Qiu Junyu is just the prince's first move. It is certain that the prince will never have this one hole card in his hand. Even if Qiu Junyu is overthrown, have you ever thought about what method the prince will use next?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Lu Haosheng said slowly: "One thing, you still have to remember that Your Highness is our foundation, and all actions must protect His Highness's interests. There are some things that His Highness can do, but there are some things that His Highness can know but cannot Do it." He glanced at everyone, and continued: "There are some things that you can do, but His Highness doesn't need to know."

Lang Wuxu asked cautiously: "What does Lu Changshi mean?"

"You don't have complete confidence, so don't let His Highness take action easily." Lu Haosheng said indifferently: "You can fall, but Your Highness cannot... I mean, you should know."

At this time, footsteps were heard, and a servant of the palace had already reported outside the door: "Report to the lord, a group of people came from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, claiming to arrest the important criminal, Commander Ma ordered the young one to report to the lord. Do you want them to enter?" Palace!"

The expressions of the people in the hall changed drastically. King Qi suddenly stood up and said angrily: "People from the Ministry of Punishment? They arrested people and brought them to my Prince Qi's mansion? Who are they going to arrest?"

"They didn't say anything, they only said that the criminal would be in the palace, and begged the prince to deliver the criminal to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment!"

"What is there to commit in this palace?" King Qi clenched his fists, "It's so bold, this king is going to meet these mad dogs...!"

"Wait a minute, Your Highness!" Lu Haosheng stood up, "It's just a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The matter is unknown, Your Highness doesn't need to act rashly, I'll go and see what's going on in the humble office first?"

"Your Highness, Qiu Junyu is so daring that he has arrested people all over the palace." Lang Wuxu also said angrily, "What kind of place do they think this is?"

Other officials were also outraged.

Lu Haosheng bowed his hands to King Qi, didn't say much, went out and followed the servant to the gate of the palace, before he reached the gate, he heard a noise coming from there, the night was dark, Lu Haosheng stood in the courtyard Behind the big tree, he didn't go up immediately, but just watched, only to see that there was a group of people in front of the door, the guard commander Ma Zhongheng led dozens of guards from the royal residence, standing in front of the door, like a copper wall and iron wall, the people in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment naturally He didn't dare to force his way in, but someone said over there: "We were ordered to do something, and to arrest the important criminal is a very important matter. His Royal Highness Qi Wang is very sensible, so naturally he will not cover up the important criminal."

Ma Zhongheng said indifferently: "Catching important criminals is the business of your criminal department. Guarding the palace is the duty of this general. Without the order of the prince, no one can step into the palace."

The two sides were at a stalemate. Look at the meaning, the people from the Ministry of Punishment will not withdraw until they catch the key criminal they are talking about.

Only then did Lu Haosheng walk over slowly, Ma Zhongheng saw Lu Haosheng approaching, and cupped his hands, Lu Haosheng saw that there were more than 20 people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all armed with knives, frowned, and asked: "In the middle of the night, in front of the palace Hu xiao yell, what kind of decent is this?"

A person from the crowd of the Ministry of Punishment came forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Yuanda, was ordered by the Lord of the Ministry of Justice to come to arrest the key criminal. I also ask His Royal Highness King Qi to hand over the key criminal."

"Bold." Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "This is Prince Qi's mansion, why did you come here to commit any crime?"

Zhang Yuanda said: "Wu Tangchun, the young minister of Taipusi, is naturally in the palace, and the key criminal we want to arrest is Wu Tangchun."

"Wu Tangchun?" Lu Haosheng frowned, "What crime did he commit?"

"Wu Tangchun dominated people's property in his hometown in Jinling. He didn't succeed in making lures. He threatened and intimidated people, and he beat people to serious injuries. He died later." Zhang Yuanda raised his head and chest, "Now the family of the deceased has filed a lawsuit in the capital. Go to the yamen."

"Wu Shaoqing has been in the capital and has not returned to his hometown. When did he kill someone?"

"That happened a year ago." Zhang Yuanda said, "That time when Wu Shaoqing went home, his younger brother took a fancy to a manor and colluded with the local government to force the deceased to hand over the land deed and house deed. Wu Tangchun knew about the shooting and hurting people in advance, and the local government had Wu Tangchun's order to send people."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Of course." Zhang Yuanda said: "The witnesses and material evidence are already in the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At that time, there were many people who witnessed this incident. More than ten witnesses have come from Jinling. The prefect of Jinling who participated in this incident has also been detained in Beijing. He It has been proved that all the incidents were instigated by Wu Tangchun behind the scenes. The family members of the deceased filed a lawsuit in the capital, and now they are all in the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice... Lu Changshi, Wu Tangchun has committed a heinous crime. You Qi Palace, it is impossible to cover up such a treacherous and evil person Bar?"

Lu Haosheng frowned and said: "If you want to arrest people, you can go to Wu Shaoqing's mansion to arrest people, why do you come to the palace? It's late at night, making trouble at the palace at night, the prince has a bad temper...!"

Zhang Yuanda said righteously: "On official business, and as an official of the Ministry of Punishment, we are just doing our duty. We are only arresting important criminals, and we definitely did not intentionally offend His Royal Highness. Willing to die!"
