Second minister and thief

Xu Shi realized that he was too scary at the moment, so Chu Linqiu withdrew the hostility from his body, stretched his eyebrows again, and pretended to be puzzled, "What's wrong with you guys? I only said that there may be internal responses from the court. , but I didn’t mention that it’s in this trial court, why doesn’t Master Lu dare to look at me?”

"Then Master Chu...what does Master Chu mean?" As soon as Master Lu spoke, his momentum weakened a little, and his intuition told him that what Chu Linqiu said next would definitely not be what he wanted to hear of.Perhaps, the young man in front of him is going to do something big and drag the entire court into the water.

Sure enough, after sitting on the chair brought by his subordinates, Chu Linqiu looked around and said calmly, "I want to ask the sage for an order to search the residences of court officials above rank four and honored nobles. I don't know what Master Lu wants?"

"What?! Master Chu, you, you..." Master Lu glanced at the open door hastily, his throat kept rolling up and down, but he could no longer speak coherently.After a long time, he let out a long sigh, "Lu has no talent or virtue, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do this job, so I'm going to plead guilty to the saint. This case...be handed over to Xuanwuwei!"

"Lord Lu! Do you want to resist the edict?" Chu Linqiu suddenly raised his voice, startling everyone again.For a moment, the court officials couldn't stand anymore. They exchanged glances with each other, their toes turned outward, and they wanted to escape.

"Lord Chu! You have to cut your own back and don't get involved with Lu! Lu still wants to live a few more years!" Seeing such an attitude, Master Lu couldn't help but feel a little angry.He didn't like Chu Linqiu in the first place, but now he thinks he's a lunatic even more.He Xuanwuwei can run rampant in the capital and make everyone dare not speak out, but the Criminal Court can't do it.

Holding the will of the saint to search the mansions of officials of the fourth rank and above and nobles openly... This kind of thing can only be done by the person in front of him.

Crazy... just crazy!

Didn't Chu Linqiu know that what he did would definitely become the target of public criticism?Of course he knew, but he had to do it.It's all because after leaving the Li Mansion yesterday, the Son of Heaven sent someone to give him another secret decree.In other words, "search" means the Son of Heaven, and Chu Linqiu is just a pawn.

Thinking of this, Chu Linqiu suppressed a wry smile from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "Lord Lu, this matter is beyond your control."

"Master Chu, you..."

"I have to deal with other important matters, so let's take a step first." After saying that, Chu Linqiu slowly stood up from the chair, flicked the non-existent dust on his wide sleeves, and went straight to the door gone.Behind him, of course, were the four vicious imperial guards who had come.

The commander of the face-saving commander has endured for such a long time. In fact, he is already strong on the outside and hard on the inside. Although he is not at the point of collapsing at the first touch, his face is getting paler and his forehead is covered with cold sweat.The subordinate saw that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say more, he just took a few steps quickly to hold his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you going back to the official office or the mansion?"

"Go home."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in coarse shorts came hurriedly and leaned over to whisper a few words beside him.The rest of the people immediately saw their adults shake slightly twice, and their complexions became very gloomy.Before everyone could react, Chu Linqiu got on his horse and disappeared at the end of the alley.

"My lord! My lord!"

The imperial guards didn't know what happened, they looked at each other for a while, their expressions became extremely weird, but before they had time to think, they called out their horses to turn over and galloped away following the traces on the ground.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the scorching sun when it came had already restrained its sharpness and became gentle and loved ones.However, what is surprising is that the four cities of Taodu did not appear silent because of this. There are still many pedestrians, and there are even Fanbang peddlers walking on the street on camels. It is a prosperous scene, and there are faint singing of orchids in the wine shop outgoing.

Therefore, many people were astonished to see Master Chu leading a few imperial troops galloping through the street again, and they couldn't help expressing the same feeling: I am afraid that someone in the capital will suffer again.
