"Lou Gong!!"

Zhao Kai knelt down in front of Lou Rui and cried bitterly.

I saw that his head was wrapped in cloth, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, which was very indecent.

Seeing his appearance, Lou Rui was shocked, "Zhao Juncheng? How did you become like this? Who did it?"

Zhao paused, raised his head and looked at Lou Rui, "My subordinate threw it himself."

Lou Rui wanted to ask a few questions, but suddenly remembered his instructions a few days ago, and quickly changed his words, "So that's it, be more careful in the future."

Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "Mr. Lou! That Chongguang Temple was slaughtered by Liu Taozi. Not a single person was left alive. Their heads were all hung outside the city. They were hung into a forest. The heads were

Lin, it’s really scary!”

"This guy also informed the people of the county about Chongguang Temple. I wanted to dissuade him, but I didn't dare to see him. I wanted to come to see you to tell him, but I was... Mr. Lou, what should I do now?"

Listening to Zhao Kai's accusation, Lou Rui was also confused and frowned.

"I thought he would only split the money among the big ones, but who would have thought that he would not even spare Sogoji Temple. It caused me a lot of trouble."

"Mr. Lou, when the Queen Mother came last time, it was her subordinates who accompanied Yang Gong to greet her. She also asked those masters for Buddhist advice and was very polite to them. But now."

"well."

Lou Rui sighed.

Zhao Kai found the right opportunity and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lou, all this is due to Liu Taozi!"

"I am sincere to my cousin. I never thought of it. I shouldn't have believed in Liu Taozi so much at the beginning. I should have listened to you and sent him away earlier. Sure enough, these days, even relatives can't believe it.

"

Lou Rui looked at Zhao Kai and said, "I have scolded you a lot before, so don't pay attention."

"I don't dare! Mr. Lou's teachings are all for me to make progress. I am grateful to you."

"Please help me think about it, what should I do now?"

Hearing Lou Rui's words, Zhao Kai moved forward a little further and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lou, in fact, this Changshan King may not be so trustworthy. He claims to be a relative of his. After all, your surname is Lou. In my opinion,

We have to find a way to punish Liu Taozi and let the Queen Mother take care of Liu Taozi and King Changshan. With the Queen Mother here, what can King Changshan do? If you avoid everything, these people will think you can really be bullied!"

Zhao Kai then talked about his plan.

His idea was very simple, to blame everything on Liu Taozi and then send him to the Queen Mother for disposal.

But Lou Rui was unmoved by this idea.

This is really too rough.

The person is already dead, and it is inevitable that the Queen Mother will be angry. What is the use of handing the person over? Although he is also a member of the clan, King Changshan is, after all, the recognized leader of the nobles at the moment.

Lou Rui had a headache.

Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "Mr. Lou, don't hesitate. If you hesitate again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in front of the Queen Mother."

At this moment, a knight suddenly walked in quickly and saluted Lou Rui, "Master! The angel has arrived suddenly! He is outside the county government office right now!!!"

Hearing these words, Lou Rui felt dizzy and turned pale.

When angels are coming, they usually have to be informed in advance and received along the way. How come they suddenly appear?

There is only one possibility: the other party is here to ask questions, so they will show up directly without informing them in advance.

The Queen Mother sent someone to question her.

How could it be so fast??

Lou Rui stood up slowly, his face became solemn, and he said to his left and right: "Send someone to visit each county government office."

After saying that, he put on mourning clothes and walked out of the door quickly.

He walked all the way to the front yard, had the gate of the county government opened, and then knelt aside to welcome the angel.

The angel stood on the carriage, holding a long wooden stick in his hand. The top of the wooden stick was tied with animal hair and was flying. This is the Emperor's Scepter.

"I, Liyang Grand Administrator Lou Rui, pay homage to the angel!!"

Lou Rui hurriedly bowed to see him, and the rest of the people followed him and kowtowed.

The angel on the carriage looked to be in his early thirties, not old, but he was tall, handsome and dignified. He frowned and looked very solemn.

He looked at Lou Rui who was saluting and took out the edict from his arms.

"Teach the world to learn that the prince is the emperor and is located in the Xuande Hall of Jinyang. He is offering amnesty to the world. All officials at home and abroad have been promoted. Officials have lost their titles and their property has been restored! Respect the empress dowager as the empress dowager, the empress as the empress dowager, and edict Jiuzhou

Soldiers who are seventy years old and have been assigned to commissions, military officers who are over sixty years old and those who are ill and cannot be driven away will be exempted! Civil engineering, gold, copper and iron, and other miscellaneous work, all stop!"

Lou Rui was stunned for a moment, then saluted again, "I obey your decree!!"

This is to announce the news of the crown prince's accession to the throne.

Lou Rui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was here to ask questions. When the official handed the edict to Lou Rui, Lou Rui stood up slowly. He smiled and looked at the angel.

"Angel Face Saint, I wonder whose family he is a descendant of?"

The angel looked at him calmly and said, "I am Cui Zhan, the minister of high school."

Lou Rui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He was just sending a message. Why was he the minister and the emperor's scepter at the same time? What was going on?

"Ah! It turns out to be Mr. Cui! Please get out of the car, Mr. Cui. I'll prepare some food."

"No need."

Cui Zhan said very indifferently. He took out an imperial edict again and looked at him, "Liyang Prefect Lou Rui takes the imperial edict!"

"I, Liyang Governor Lou Rui, respectfully listen to the edict!!"

Lou Rui knelt on the ground again.

Cui Zhan picked up the edict and began to read it, "There is an official who assassinated Lou Rui, the prefect of Liyang. During his tenure, he indulged the rich and powerful, preyed on the common people, occupied cultivated land, collected bribes, framed and framed, insulted officials, colluded with monks, pretended to be gods and ghosts, and deceived ignorant people.

The treasury of counties and counties will be empty, and the people will have no way to live."

Lou Rui suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of astonishment, but he did not dare to interrupt.

Cui Zhan's speech became faster and faster. He talked about Lou Rui's crimes one after another, and finally said: "The special minister Cui Zhan is holding the Emperor's Scepter to investigate Li Yang. If the crime is true, Lou Rui will be escorted back to Ye to be punished.

!!”

Lou Rui sat there blankly, and Zhao Kai beside him was also stunned.

"Please ask Governor Lou to accept the edict!"

Cui Zhan urged, and Lou Rui slowly raised his head and looked at him, "Is this your Majesty's edict or Yang Min's handwriting?"

Cui Zhan did not speak, but a large group of knights broke into the county government office. They quickly occupied several exits, holding crossbows in their hands and armor on their bodies. Lou Rui looked behind the angel and found that the entire road seemed to be empty.

Covered by soldiers.

"In order to catch me, Yang Dadu sent so many people?"

Lou Rui asked disdainfully.

Cui Zhan raised the scepter in his hand and said coldly: "During my inspection, both the county and county offices have to close their doors, and no one is allowed to go out."

"OK."

Lou Rui smiled and nodded. At this moment, there was no fear on his face.

Both the county government office and the county government office were blocked. Groups of soldiers directly blocked the road, and the county soldiers were controlled immediately.

In the county government office, Tian Zili and others gathered around Liu Taozi.

"Brother, are you here to arrest us?"

"Why haven't you rushed in yet?"

"What the hell is going on outside?"

Everyone was confused at this moment. This group of people came very quickly. After they appeared, they blocked Liyang County and the county government office as quickly as possible. As a result, everyone was blocked in the door before they could react.

, extremely frightened.

Yao Xiong couldn't help but said: "These are the elites of the temple. Their speed of doing things is several times higher than that of the county soldiers!"

Tian Zili frowned and fumbled with his sword again and again to relieve his tension.

Kou Liu walked in quickly at this moment, panting and saluting Liu Taozi.

"Brother, I saw it clearly. The county government office was directly surrounded. The people in the car were holding something that seemed to be the Emperor's Scepter. I saw some soldiers leading Shi Jun out. Previously, Prime Minister Yang said it would be on the 15th.

Could it be someone sent by Yang Xiang??"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Liu Taozi.

They only thought they were soldiers brought in after massacring Sogou Temple, but they never thought of this.

Liu Taozi looked indifferent, "It's still unknown."

Although Liu Taozi never gave everyone a precise explanation, looking at his indifferent expression, everyone suddenly became less nervous. So what if he came to kill us? With Brother Taozi here, there is no need to be afraid of these dogs.

thing?

"What does this mean?"

Cui Zhan's face was ashen. He stood in front of the warehouse, looking at the mountains of grain inside, and slowly looked at Shi Yao beside him.

Shi Yao was at a loss as he looked at the piles of food.

"It was you who wrote the letter to Yang Xiang, saying that Li Yang's warehouses were all empty and the people were starving to death. Was it you who wrote it?"

"It was me. But you don't know, something happened later. I only received these grains after I wrote the letter."

Cui Zhan wanted to say something, but his lips trembled for a while, turned around, and left. Shi Yao hurriedly followed behind him.

"Mr. Cui, I really am not talking nonsense."
