Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 260 Ting Lu Gets Involved

"Back to the emperor. At present, we have found all kinds of information. We just wait for the emperor to make a decision." Chen Shilang opened the manuscript and read: "Xue Liang's ancestral home is Tongcheng. He took part in the imperial examination and was elected to Hanlin in 24. During his two-year term of office, he was dissatisfied with his colleagues because of his arrogance in poetry and prose, so he was not reused. In the 26th year of Kangxi, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Tongcheng. "Hands of the Hand", which fiercely criticizes the mechanism of our dynasty. There are 180 volumes of this batch of books, and [-] volumes have been confiscated so far, and [-] volumes are scattered among the people, and their whereabouts are unknown."

"How many people are involved in this case?"

"A total of 270 people engraved, printed, revised, sent boards, and bought books. At present, all the subordinates have been detained. In addition..." The servant hesitated for a while, and did not continue.The emperor frowned, "Another?"

The servant said hesitantly: "This case also involves the sons of several court officials, and I don't know how to deal with it."

"What is there to hesitate about submitting to the lord? Who is there?" the emperor said sharply.The waiter hurriedly reported the names of several people. When I heard Ting Lu's name, my heart was shocked and I couldn't believe my ears.How did Ting Lu get involved in this case?Could it be a mistake?I looked nervously at the waiter.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ting Lu? What does he have to do with this case?"

"After interrogating several key criminals, they said that all the paper used by Xue Liang was led by Ting Lu, and a revisionist was also introduced by him. It is said that Xue Liang and Ting Lu have a very close relationship..."

"Are you sure Ting Lu is also involved in this case?" The emperor's face darkened, and he said coldly.

"The subordinates have also repeatedly interrogated other people who are acquainted with the principal culprit. They all confessed that Xue Liang did have a close relationship in the capital, and that his father was Zhang Ying Zhang Zhongtang of the current dynasty. In addition to the confession of other people, the subordinates It is certain that Ting Lu also knows about this."

How could this be?Doesn't that mean that Ting Lu will also be implicated and questioned?I can't help but panic.I have never asked Ting Lu about this matter before, and I don't know what happened?Will he be fine?
The emperor's face suddenly became gloomy, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed for a long time, as if he was very angry.The atmosphere in the hall began to become dignified, as if there was a low pressure quietly pervading, and the surrounding became extremely quiet.

"Ting Lu... I treat him so well on weekdays and trust him more than Ting Yu. I never thought that he would treat me as nothing and cooperate with criminal ministers to print illegal books against the imperial court and the Qing Dynasty! Handle it, and all those involved in this case must Strictly deal with it! No one will be spared!"
