Emperor's Medicine

Chapter 158 Su Zhen's Death ([-])

After breakfast and drinking mugwort tea, Jun Lingke took Ning'er to the martial arts gym.

The Wuguan opened on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and everything was ready, or in other words, there was no need to prepare anything, everything was ready-made, including manpower.

At noon, Ling Zhong went to the rest room of the boss on the third floor to report.

"Boss, I just heard from the people in the restaurant next door that Su Zhen had his fingers cut off, his ears cut off, and castrated. He couldn't stand it anymore and committed suicide." Ling Zhong said.

Jun Lingke was sitting at the window looking out, hearing Ling Zhong's report, her brows subconsciously frowned slightly: "It is said that the Sili Prison is an existence more terrifying than hell, and it is true!"

"Su Zhen made a confession, saying that he joined forces with the three princes outside the Great Wall to plan to place Huoleizi at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet while presenting gifts to the Queen Mother, with the intention of disturbing the palace. It disappeared in secret, the third prince fled in a hurry, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the border to be sealed off, and there might be a war at the Xisai border." Ling Zhong continued.

"It's a good thing!" Jun Lingke nodded.

"Well, we discussed it just now, and I think it's a good thing, so everyone's ideas are on Xisai!" Ling Zhong nodded.

Jun Lingke turned to look at Ling Zhong, and said, "From now on, you are only responsible for reporting to me about the affairs of the court, and reminding the brothers of the Ling family not to make any comments!"

"Yes!" Ling Zhong nodded quickly, he knew that the boss was only for their good.

Jun Lingke, Ning'er, and Uncle Qin stayed in the martial arts hall for a long time. Ning'er was busy helping out in the back kitchen, while Uncle Qin was teaching disciples in the martial arts hall. Only in this way, Uncle Qin's kung fu could be passed on to Ling in a fair manner. brother.

The 20 members of the Ling family will go through life and death for Jun Lingke in the days to come, and have made great contributions to assisting Jun Lingke.

Besides, in the Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince in a bright yellow four-claw python robe is sitting behind the desk. He looks up at Jun Xiao standing in front of him and Prime Minister Su kneeling on one side, his brows are as cold as ice.

"Heh, are you here to blame me now?" The crown prince snorted coldly, threw a thick booklet on the ground, and said, "Prime Minister Su, take a good look at what's written in the booklet!"

Prime Minister Su grabbed the booklet with trembling hands, and after reading a few pages quickly, he immediately shook his head and said, "Your Highness, this must be caused by the abuse of torture in that prison. Although Zhen'er is usually stubborn, he never This is such an outrageous thing!"

The booklet is full of confessions by Su Zhen that he colluded with the third prince in an attempt to disrupt the royal family.

"Look at what this is again!" The prince threw out another object.

"Customs clearance document? This..." Jun Xiao bent down and picked it up. After careful consideration, his face immediately turned pale. Then he knelt down and silently handed the document to Prime Minister Su.

In the East Xia Kingdom, on the customs clearance document on the Xisai border, it is clearly the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

For the convenience of Dongxia, officials above the second rank, such as prime ministers, Taifu, Taiwei, generals, and Dukes, can have the power to help people pass the customs. However, the chapters on the customs clearance documents are uniformly engraved by the Ministry of War Then hand it over to the adults.

This is because in the past few decades, the Eastern Xia Kingdom has continued to grow and its borders have continued to expand, and the strength of the Ministry of War cannot keep up. The emperor listened to the suggestions of the courtiers and made a decision.

In the central court, there are nearly 20 officials above the second rank, and there are three or four people in charge of each frontier fortress, who have the same power to assist in customs clearance as the frontier fortress generals.
