"Pretending to make false predictions, constructing the Eastern Palace, and criticizing Chengyu!"

Du Wulang was stunned when the shouting and cursing sounds reached his ears.

In less than five months from late winter to early March, he did not expect that he would be involved in another major rebellion so soon.

Everything was so ridiculous that he began to doubt that he was really a traitor.

Yuan Jie was also stunned.

He made numerous predictions, such as Chun Wei leaked the title, no one from the commoner class was qualified, Li Linfu blocked the holy hearing... He analyzed everything and thought that Ge Nu really had no talent.

In a head-on confrontation, you will definitely win.

However, Li Linfu ignored all his methods and directly charged Yuanjie with the crime of treason, catching Yuanjie off guard.

It feels like you are arranging your troops hard and planning to defeat a loser who is commanding a large army with military skills, but the other party directly digs a river and lets the flood flood the battlefield.

"you……"

Yuan Jie wanted to speak, but Jin Wuwei held him down hard.

He struggled twice and was immediately hit by an elbow in the abdomen.

"Cishan! How dare you ask for tribute from your hometown?"

Du Fu tried to save Yuan Jie, but was kicked to the ground.

The Jinwu guards followed with two more kicks and scolded: "Rural tribute? It has nothing to do with the imperial examination. Your crime is to associate with the traitor Li Shizhi!"

"Stop fighting!" Xue Bai stopped in a deep voice and said, "I'll let you go, as long as you can afford the consequences."

"Hahaha, this little boy is still young and he is still trying to scare some of his brothers? Take him away!"

Everyone was escorted out of the small villa and saw that Li Shi's house was completely surrounded.

Not far away, Jin Wuwei was still shouting.

"Li Shizhi used the imperial examination to plot evil! It has nothing to do with Shengtu Xiang Gong. Disperse as soon as possible. Don't make a mistake!"

"..."

Everything seems to be calming down.

Some of the originally furious rebels calmed down and began to disperse, not daring to get involved in the major rebellion.

~~

With the sound of shackles, Xue Bai was escorted through the imperial city. When he looked up at the bottom of the steps, he saw three solemn gold-lacquered characters "Dali Temple".

Red wooden doors were opened one after another, and through the long corridor, the front was getting darker and darker.

Finally, he entered the cell... This was something Xue Bai tried his best to avoid.

He resisted going to jail from the bottom of his heart, and could even say that it was the most annoying thing in his life.

But as the iron chain on the wooden gate was opened, he was pushed in.

There were already three people squatting in the cell, leaning feebly in the corner and looking at the five of them.

The stench of feces and urine that had been drowned for a long time hit my face. Under the dim light of the torch, the thatch on the ground was dirty and black. It was covered with dirt and blood stains left by the prisoners, attracting insects to crawl around.

It’s still that wriggling insect…

Du Wulang sat down and sighed: "Oh, I'm back again."

"Have you been here?"

Yuan Jie, Du Fu, and Huangfu Ran were all sent to prison for the first time. They didn't react for a while and looked around, with some novelty in their anger.

“Is this the Dali Prison where ‘murderous spirits are so strong that birds dare not perch’?”

"I was in Jingzhao Mansion Prison before, and it's almost the same as here." Du Wulang said, "Why are you standing while you are sitting?"

Huangfu Ran was still observing, but was touched by Xue Bai.

He turned around and followed Xue Bai's gaze, and saw a prisoner originally locked in the cell raising his head and looking this way. So he immediately understood what Xue Bai meant.

"Don't worry." Xue Bai said: "Someone will rescue us."

"who?"

Xue Bai did not answer directly, but said lightly: "You will know when you go out."

~~

In the evening, Luo Xishi left the imperial city and arrived at the Youxiang Mansion in Pingkangfang.

"Right Prime Minister, the arrangements have been made."

After bowing to Li Linfu behind the screen, Luo Xishi said: "With the case of Li Shi, not only the leader of the troublemaker was detained, but also Xue Bai."

He was a little worried that Mrs. Guo would be angry. After all, Ji Wen had learned from the past. Fortunately, this time Xue Bai was involved in the crime of treason. As long as there was evidence, Mrs. Guo could not say anything in front of the saint.

To put it simply, when dealing with someone with a backer like Xue Bai, you have to follow the rules and punish him with as much crime as there is evidence. It is not as simple as dealing with ordinary people.

"For the Chunwei incident to have such a big reaction, someone must be behind the scenes." Luo Xishi said: "Xue Bai contacted everywhere and took the lead in this matter. It must be related to Li Yingyu's party. The lower official is already here.

There is an informant in his cell, which may be used to find out who was behind it."

"You are smarter than Jiwen."

"Yes." Luo Xishi took a step forward and said: "Right Prime Minister, I have learned that Xue Bai and Huangfu Ran said that someone will rescue them."

"who?"

"My subordinates will keep a close eye on this and give the right minister a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

Li Linfu responded casually and said, "I knew you were in trouble. Shihu was so stupid that he brought Zhuzi to see Third Aunt Yang."

Soon, someone led Yang Zhao in.

Yang Zhao is no longer in the Youxiao Guard and has moved to serve as the censor. Like Luo Xishi, he is responsible for eliminating dissidents in the Youxiang Mansion.

Although he aspires to be in the Ministry of Household Affairs and is seeking an official position in the Ministry of Household Affairs, he is also very good at eliminating dissenters, and he has been working extra hard recently to please Li Linfu.

As soon as he came in, Yang Zhao said: "Right Prime Minister, Yang Zhao has fulfilled his mission."

Luo Xishi looked sideways and saw some blood stains on the hem of Yang Zhao's official robe. He immediately felt a shiver in his heart and secretly thought that he could not fall behind. How could Luo Xishi be compared to a spitting pot?

The instructions they had recently received were very simple, "There are too many wretched people in the grassland, and they may leak the country's secrets." Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao was able to deal with these wretched people in the grassland so quickly.

After discussing for a while, the two of them exited the Right Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time.

"Yang Yushi." Luo Xishi reminded with a smile: "Do you know that you have done something wrong?"

"oh?"

Yang Zhao turned around and asked with a smile: "What did I do wrong?"

Luo Xishi said bluntly: "Why do you want to introduce Xue Bai to see Mrs. Guo Guo?"

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded Luo Qian for being nosy.

Xue Bai was also the Prime Minister at that time, so how could we blame him?

But this was a topic that was brought up only after meeting the right minister. Yang Zhao did not dare to neglect and asked: "How can Yushi Luo teach me?"

"Since it's you who caused the trouble, it's up to you to solve it."

Yang Zhao sighed slightly, knowing that he was going to separate Xue Bai and Mrs. Guo Guo.

The solution is simple, just find some beautiful men and send them over.

After leaving the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, his recently conquered confidant Yang Guanghui ran up to him, bowed and saluted: "Uncle."

Yang Zhao pulled Yang Guanghui's collar, walked far enough away from the Jinwu Guards at the door, and asked in a low voice: "Have you found the blood pattern?"

"The official searched the boy's body... but couldn't find it." Yang Guanghui stammered: "However, Zhang Tongru said that it was probably taken away by Du Qi."

"Du Qi?" Yang Zhao frowned and muttered: "Is that kid in the Dali Temple prison with Xue Bai at this time?"

"yes."

"First, let's find some beautiful young men. If they are interesting, it is best if they can write poems."

Yang Guanghui was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly responded.

~~

Imperial City, Menxia Province.

Yan Zhenqing waited for a long time before being introduced to Fang Guan's public apartment.

Ji Shizhong is a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. He has important responsibilities under his sect. He is divided into daily state affairs. He is responsible for making memorials to hundreds of officials. He is subject to his review, sealing and refutation of imperial edicts. He has very important powers. He can also go in and out of the palace and often serve the emperor.

Therefore, it is said that Fang Guan has reached the last few steps on the road to prime minister, and he is accompanied by the emperor's grandson, King Guangping, who is not as jealous of the saints as his subordinates in the East Palace.

When we met this time, Fang Guan was wearing a crimson official robe, a goldfish bag, and a straight face. He was much more dignified than last time.

"At this time of year, Qing ministers should not come to see me!"

"Why?"

"Can't you see? Ge Nu wants to lead the fire to the East Palace again."
