Chapter 361
Zhenfu Mansion, study room.

"How did you come?"

Seeing Su Yu coming over, Wei Lianyi couldn't help asking in surprise with her pretty face.

At this moment, she is still thinking about how to successfully occupy that position in the battle for the throne.

After all, the support of the common people and martial artists cannot change the unanimous decision of the civil and military officials in the court.

So how to get herself into a more favorable situation is what she strives for first.

During this period, she even arranged for Jiang Shunjie to contact the ministers of the other five departments not long ago, hoping to get them to secretly turn against her.

In this way, if she forcibly ascends the throne, even if the ministers of the other five departments choose to retire, she can still promote the ministers of these five departments to the position of minister, and then maintain the normal operation of the court.

Unfortunately, what happened was counterproductive. Although Jiang Shunjie successfully contacted these five people, they did not agree to Wei Lianyi's conditions.
"By the way, you came just in time. I arranged for Jiang Shunjie to secretly contact the ministers of the other five departments."

Wei Lianyi frowned and said: "My idea is that if it is really a last resort, then we have to use force to force the succession."

"If the five ministers cannot accept this fact and join forces to retire, I can promote the ministers of the other five ministers to the position of minister and continue to maintain the operation of the court."

"As long as there is a certain transition period, it will be enough for me to sit firmly in that position."

"But the news just came from Jiang Shunjie that all the five ministers rejected my proposal."

"Is there anything you can do here?"

After hearing what Wei Lianyi said, Su Yu raised her eyebrows. The method she thought of was indeed somewhat feasible.

Su Yu chuckled and said: "The minister and the minister are from the same camp. Don't you know that they have a hereditary relationship?"

"Hereditary replacement?"

Wei Lianyi's pretty face was startled, and she said with a somewhat puzzled tone.

"good."

Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, if the ministers of these five departments abdicate in the future, who will succeed them as ministers?"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Wei Lianyi said: "I understand, you are saying that the conditions I offered are not enough to tempt them to take risks. After all, no matter whether I succeed or not, when these five ministers retire, When he comes down, there is a high probability that the assistant minister will succeed him."

"good."

Su Yu nodded and said with a smile: "So the condition you offered is just like drawing a pie in front of them. Naturally, they will not agree to it, and will even inform the five of them immediately after Jiang Shunjie leaves. Ministry of Finance"

Wei Lianyi's pretty face turned cold, and then she said calmly: "If I succeed to the throne, I will never allow this situation to continue."

From Su Yu's words, she could roughly guess the intricate relationships in the court.

Obviously these officials who were brought up were all people in this circle, and were even more or less blood relatives.

For example, if my daughter marries you, I can safely bring you up step by step and take over my position in the future.

In this way, rights have successfully completed hereditary substitution.

Even if he retreats, he can still control everything behind his back because of his daughter.

And I am like an outsider, tempting my son to stab me in the back. Can my son agree to all this?

After all, after I died, the legacy he left behind belonged to my son.
Wei Lianyi couldn't help but ask: "Is there any way to end this situation?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Yes."

"Have?"

Wei Lianyi raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but said: "What can I do?"

"That's what I'm here for."

Su Yu said with a smile: "This method is to remove the firepower from under the cauldron!"

"Drawing from the bottom of the pot?"

Wei Lianyi's pretty face showed a look of confusion and said: "What kind of method is it to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron?"

Su Yu said: "I just came up with this method on the spur of the moment."

"Just now, one of my subordinates came over and told me that Xu Delin, the grandson of the Minister of Rites, raped a common girl and caused her to commit suicide by drowning in the river."

"I have just arranged for people to arrest Xu Delin. It will not take long to arrest Xu Delin."

Hearing Su Yu's words, Wei Lianyi asked, "Does this have anything to do with the so-called method of removing fuel from the cauldron?"

Such things have happened a lot, whether in Tai'an City or in various parts of Jiuzhou.

The final result is nothing more than big things turning into small things and little things turning into nothing.

Wei Lianyi was a little confused as to why Su Yu mentioned this matter.

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Think about it, what would happen if we took all the descendants of officials from the other five departments who had committed crimes in the past to the martial arts prison tonight?"

"In the martial arts prison of our Zhenwu Division, we have always had to shed at least one layer of skin before we can leave. We even have to go in vertically and exit horizontally."

"At that time, the families of these five departments will not be able to cause trouble?"

"Tomorrow morning, will they dare to come out to oppose your succession?"

"As long as these people have solid evidence, in normal times, they would naturally turn a blind eye and not do anything to them."

"But now, these are one of their flaws."

"At that time, you can take this opportunity to express that if you succeed to the throne, you will offer amnesty to the world."

"If they don't comply, then we can't guarantee what will happen if they stay in the martial arts prison for one more day."

In this era where the inheritance of future generations is extremely important, if the grandsons of these officials were arrested and sent to martial arts prison, it is estimated that the court hall would be as busy as a vegetable market tomorrow.
After entering the martial arts prison, you have to peel off at least one layer of your skin.

Can these pampered young men withstand such a severe beating from Wu Prison?
Even if you do nothing, just detaining them in the military prison will probably scare all the civil and military officials to death, right?
In this way, wouldn't it be a disguised achievement of the purpose of coercing the emperor to order the princes?
After hearing Su Yu's proposal, Wei Lianyi's eyes lit up, and then she couldn't help but glance at him, and then said: "It has to be you, you are really cunning."

Su Yu's tone paused: "."

I'm helping you with advice, and you're still teasing me here?

Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said: "What do you think of this proposal for someone who is humble?"

"Um."

Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said calmly: "This method is quite acceptable."

Immediately she called out: "Here comes someone."

"grown ups."

The two guards walked into the study quickly and said respectfully.

Wei Lianyi said: "Go and summon the other three Qianhu adults immediately. I have orders to convey."

"Yes!"

The two guards took the order and left.

After a while, Liang Yuxuan and the others rushed over quickly.

Seeing that Su Yu was already in the study, Liang Yuxuan and the others couldn't help but be startled, then they clasped their fists and said in unison: "Sir."

The three of them were a little confused as to why Wei Lianyi summoned them here at this time.

But thinking about it, it must have something to do with the ongoing dispute in the court.

Liang Yuxuan and the others had also heard about the martial arts competition method that was promoted in the court.

The use of martial arts competitions to compete for the throne undoubtedly caused the three of them to fall into a brief state of confusion.

However, after careful analysis, the three of them had to sigh that this was simply an excellent way to go astray.

After all, the court has long been dominated by civil and military officials, who are following the usual route. Maybe Wei Lianyi has been ruled out from competing for the throne now.

But things are different now. Wei Lianyi used Jiang Shunjie, the mouthpiece in the court, to propose a martial arts competition, which undoubtedly allowed him to completely join the competition for the throne.

Now that Wei Lianyi had called them here, he most likely wanted to use the Zhenwu Division to increase his bargaining chip in the fight for the throne.

They were extremely curious. What kind of convenience did Wei Lianyi want to gain for himself in the court through the Zhenwu Division?
We can't let them bring people with them tomorrow, surround the palace, and then forcefully force them into the palace, right?
Now the two commanders Qinglong and Zhuque are stationed in Tai'an City. If they do not agree with Wei Lianyi's method of succession.

There is no way those little minions like the Zhenwu Division can help Wei Lianyi ascend the throne.

"Ah."

Wei Lianyi nodded, and then said: "I called you here because I have important matters to tell you."

"Just half an hour ago, one of Su Yu's subordinates reported to him that Xu Delin, the grandson of Xu Ming, the Minister of Rites, committed a case of raping a civilian girl, causing the civilian girl to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river."

"At a time when Tai'an City is in ruins and waiting for redevelopment, Xu Delin's move is tantamount to chilling the hearts of the people of Jiuzhou."

"As the old saying goes, if the emperor breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the people!"

"This case can give us a glimpse of how many cases of such crimes involving officials and officials have occurred in Tai'an City at the foot of the Emperor in recent years."

"I want to take this opportunity to eliminate such unjust cases in Tai'an City."

"Liang Yuxuan, Qu Kongzhang, Sun Xicui, and Su Yu, I order the four of you to immediately summon the Zhenwu Guards under your command and set up points in the east, west, south, and north areas of Tai'an City to encourage the people to report."

"Even if it was an unjust case that occurred ten or even 20 years ago, but was suppressed by these officials using their connections, you can report it to the Suppression Division, and the Suppression Division will give them justice."

"All those who committed the crime will be taken to the martial arts prison for interrogation!"

"Not only that, I personally invested 10 yuan crystals to encourage people in the city to report. The reward for reporting starts from 1000 to [-] yuan crystals, depending on the size of the case."

"From today on, the Zhenwu Division will not only clarify the order in the rivers and lakes, but also clear away the evil in the court, and restore peace to the Wei Dynasty!"

After hearing what Wei Lianyi said, Liang Yuxuan, Qu Kongzhang, and Sun Xicui couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions a bit strange.

What a drudgery!
It is conceivable that tonight, at least most of the descendants of the civil and military officials in the court will spend the night in the martial prison of Zhenwu Division.

These young masters of civil and military officials have been pampered all year round. If they are caught and sent to martial arts prison, it is estimated that the civil and military officials in the court will also be jumping around tomorrow, right?
The three of them couldn't help but curse, and then they couldn't help but look at Su Yu.

Obviously, all three of them thought that Su Yu came up with this idea for Wei Lianyi.

It is conceivable that if the civil and military officials in the court tomorrow do not agree to Wei Lianyi's request for the throne, then the civil and military officials will have to go home and endure the cries of their family members as early as tomorrow morning.

After all, few people who were imprisoned in martial arts prisons were completely released.
Wei Lianyi looked around and then said calmly: "Did you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly."

Four people responded.

Wei Lianyi said: "In that case, let's take action without further delay."

"Yes."

The four people answered again and then walked outside.

As soon as they walked out of Zhenfu Mansion, Liang Yuxuan and the others looked at Su Yu. "Brother Su, this method of yours is really destructive."

Liang Yuxuan chuckled and said: "But I like it very much. I have long been unhappy with those officials and officials, so I have to show off my bad temper tonight."

"good."

Sun Xi smiled and agreed: "It seems that Tai'an City will be in a state of chaos again tonight."

"Why didn't I think of that."

Qu Kongzhang praised: "I have to say, Brother Su, your method is indeed good."

"As long as we take these guys to the martial arts prison in a legitimate and justifiable manner, we won't be afraid that all the civil and military officials in the court tomorrow will obey."

Su Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "If Xu Delin, the grandson of Xu Ming, the Minister of Rites, hadn't committed the crime, I wouldn't have been able to think of this method."

Liang Yuxuan chuckled and said, "Brother Su, if you ascend the throne, it seems that we brothers will have to rely on Brother Su to take care of us in the future."

It is foreseeable that when the civil and military officials pinch their noses and admit that Wei Lianyi has succeeded to the throne, the position of governor of Jingzhou Zhenwu Division will definitely be vacant.

Su Yu was undoubtedly the best candidate to appease him.

Sun Xicui couldn't help but sigh, his eyes looked a little sour, and he murmured: "If Brother Su really becomes the governor, then Brother Su will be the fastest promoted governor since the establishment of the Zhenwu Division."

Qu Kongzhang laughed and said, "I am convinced that Mr. Su can be promoted to the position of governor."

If you can think of using the weaknesses of the civil and military officials to force the civil and military officials in the court to submit, I think tomorrow's morning court will be very lively and exciting.

After all, this move almost made all the civil and military officials in the court unable to fight back.

They may have cherished their feathers after serving as officials for many years, but the young masters in their respective families must have committed crimes to one degree or another.

In this special period, even if your son-in-law goes to a restaurant and is short of a copper, it will be magnified and punished with the crime of "fish and meat village".

If the young master also cherishes feathers under the strict education of officials, he has not committed any crimes.

That's simple. Isn't it simple that Luo Zhi's charges were fabricated out of thin air?
If you look at a woman on the street, that's a crime of "molesting a woman in public"
"The three of you really praise me too much."

Su Yushi smiled and said: "Since your Excellency has conveyed the order, let's talk about the areas under our respective jurisdictions. Or, as before, I will be responsible for the northern area of ​​Tai'an City?"

The North District is the area where most of the civil and military officials gather. Su Yu took charge of the errands in the North District, and undoubtedly took all the offending of the civil and military officials on himself.

Liang Yuxuan and the other three were naturally happy and relaxed.

In their opinion, Su Yu's move was just to show more face in front of Wei Lianyi, so that after Wei Lianyi succeeded to the throne, he would naturally hand over the position of governor to him.
"Alright."

Liang Yuxuan nodded and said: "Then let's follow the old rules and work."

The four of them dispersed at the entrance of Zhenfu Mansion.

After returning to his Qianhu Mansion, Su Yu immediately summoned his personal guards and asked them to immediately summon the ten Bai Tongtong under his command.

When the ten hundred households under his command arrived, Su Yu reiterated Wei Lianyi's instructions, and then asked them to take people to set up a station in the northern district of Tai'an City to encourage the people in the city to report.

When they left Qianhu Mansion, their expressions were a little strange.

They all could guess without thinking that Wei Lianyi was using his authority to force all civil and military officials to submit.
An hour later.

As night fell, Su Yu led a Zhenwusi team of hundreds of people to surround the palace.

At this time, Wang Jinghui was enjoying dinner with his family and was not aware of the changes outside the house.

However, at this moment, an old man wearing a linen robe suddenly appeared and looked outside warily.

Seeing the appearance of the old man in linen robe, Wang Jinghui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Luo, what happened?"

This Mr. Luo, named Luo Lie, is the bodyguard specially arranged by Wang Jinghui at home. He has a cultivation level in the middle stage of Qianlong Realm.

Luo Lie said in a deep voice: "Now the whole palace is surrounded by people."

Surrounded?
Wang Jinghui couldn't help but be startled, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly. Could it be that Wei Lianyi was ready to resort to force to resolve this battle for the throne?

It's just that he and the two commanders have passed the Qi, and they will just stand by and watch, not taking sides until the new king appears.

Without the help of the two commanders, it would not be easy for Wei Lianyi to control the thatched cottage by force.

At this moment, Su Yu had already led his subordinate Ma Zai and strode into the courtyard with his head held high.

"Master Chief Assistant,"

Su Yu greeted me with a smile: "I would like to introduce myself. I am in the lower town of Wusi Qianhu. Su Yu, I think the chief assistant should have heard of me even if he has never met me."

Wang Jinghui's face was solemn and he said calmly: "I wonder why Mr. Su came to this humble residence with all his troops and troops?"

"Or is it that the third princess is ready to rebel tonight?"

"rebel?"

Su Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Chief Assistant has misunderstood. I am not here to see Master Wang."

"Oh?"

Wang Jinghui asked in confusion: "Since Mr. Su is not here to see me, what does that mean?"

Su Yu looked at Wang Xinwen who was standing aside, and then said slowly: "The Zhenwu Division received a report from the people in Tai'an City. Three years ago, Wang Xinwen, the descendant of the Chief Assistant, wandered around Tai'an City and lured a man named Pang Caixia, on the pretext that she would marry her in the future, had sex in the inn that afternoon, and then left without even giving her a single copper."

"Wang Xinwen, I wonder if this is the case?"

When Wang Xinwen heard this, his tone couldn't help but hesitated, and he defended: "There are so many people who have sex with me, how can I still remember them clearly?"

"You have to show evidence!"

Su Yu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I also brought Pang Caixia here."

Immediately he waved, and a Zhenwu guard brought Pang Caixia in front of everyone.

Su Yu said calmly: "Pang Caixia, I want to ask you, three years ago he deceived you, had sex with you and then left."

Wang Xinwen's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "Pang Caixia, I'm warning you, don't slander others. It was all done consensually for you and me that day. Besides, I will also give you 50 taels as compensation."

Pang Caixia looked at him with resentful eyes, and then said: "Sir, that's him. Even if he turns to ashes, the women of the country will know him."

"He saw how pretty the girl was, so he revealed his identity. The girl was confused and had sex with him in the inn."

"Unexpectedly, this person is also a wolf-hearted person. After having sex, he just walked away. As for the 50 taels of silver he mentioned, the daughter of the people can guarantee it with her life, and there is no such thing."

"Please, sir, please make the decision for the daughter of the people."

Wang Xinwen looked ugly, and then said: "Pang Caixia, you bitch, if you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth to pieces."

Su Yu said calmly: "What is the truth? The Zhenwu Division will investigate on its own. As for now, Wang Xinwen, do you want to go with me on your own, or do you want me to use force?"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Wang Xinwen sneered and said: "Boy, you really treat yourself as a dishonor. My grandfather is the current chief minister, what do you dare to do to me?"

In addition to Wang Jinghui, Luo Lie is also a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior. If these Zhenwu guards come together, they may not be Luo Lie's opponent.

Su Yu looked at Wang Jinghui, chuckled and said: "Sir, Chief Assistant, I want to arrest Wang Xinwen and return to the Zhenwu Division for investigation. Isn't it that the Chief Assistant will know the law and break the law and prevent the Zhenwu Division from handling the case?"

Wang Jinghui's eyes were focused.

At this point, how could he not understand that Wei Lianyi was behind the scenes and using the power of the Zhenwu Division to force the civil and military officials to submit?

He said calmly: "Mr. Su, you must have a factual basis when investigating a case. It has been three years since this happened. Let's not talk about the truth of the matter for the time being. Mr. Su must provide evidence, right?"

"evidence?"

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Pang Caixia is here as a witness. What other evidence do you need?"

"Should we use the blood stains on the sheets that day as fact?"

"Wang Xinwen, I advise you to come with me, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Wang Xinwen said happily without fear: "Master Su, I am very curious, how can you let me bear the consequences? Mr. Luo is in the Hidden Dragon Realm."

Then, before he could finish his words, a man with a stern face flashed behind Su Yu and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he had already strangled Wang Xinwen by the throat, and had turned back behind Su Yu again.

Wang Xinwen was grabbed by the throat and lifted off the ground. Because his breathing was blocked, his face became a little pale and he was struggling.

This man with a stern face is naturally Su Yu's clone.

After knowing that there was a Qianlong Realm warrior in the palace, Su Yu thought of using his clone to capture him.

When the clone uses the Heavenly Dao Jade that can shrink the earth into a foot, trying to catch Wang Xinwen is like searching for something.

Luo Lie, who was in the Hidden Dragon Realm, didn't even have a chance to react. Wang Xinwen was already in Su Yu's hands.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lie's pupils suddenly shrank, and a huge wave surged in his heart.

"So fast."

Luo Lie muttered silently.

He didn't even have a chance to react before the other party had already taken Wang Xinwen away from behind him.

This terrifying speed simply overturned his cognition.

If the other party used this extremely terrifying movement technique to deal with him, then he would probably be a dead body now.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out from Luo Lie's back.

The other party's casual display of his hand made him feel a strong sense of life-threatening danger.

The other party is at least the former of Soul Palace Realm!
"Grandpa, save. Save me. I don't want to go to martial arts prison."

Wang Xinwen struggled violently in the hands of Su Yu's clone.

Wang Jinghui's face looked extremely ugly. The other party had invited such powerful helpers, and it seemed that they were well prepared.

But now Luo Lie didn't have any chance to react. It was simply impossible for him to save Wang Xinwen.

"Wang Xinwen, I would like to advise you to cooperate with the investigation and stop making useless struggles."

After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at Wang Jinghui and chuckled: "Master Chief Assistant, you can rest assured that the Zhenwu Division will investigate carefully and find out everything. A good person will never be killed by mistake, but a bad person will never be missed. .”

"Farewell!"

After saying that, Su Yu led the team and left.

Su Yu deliberately let the clone loosen some of its restraints so that Wang Xinwen could ask Wang Jinghui for help.

"Grandpa. Grandpa, I don't want to go to the martial arts prison. I don't want to go to the martial arts prison. Grandpa, I will definitely die if I go to the martial arts prison. Grandpa, save me."

Looking at the retreating figures of the group and Wang Xinwen asking for help, Wang Jinghui's face turned livid, veins popped up on his forehead, and his breathing became abnormally rapid.

When all the people in the Zhenwu Division disappeared from sight, Wang Jinghui's eyes turned cold and he murmured in a low voice: "Third Princess, I have learned a lot about your methods."
