Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

In order to bring down the members of the Le family, Zhao Kuo also completely asked Xu Li to send people to search for evidence in Donghu County for a long time.

Due to the rebellion of the Le clan headed by Le Yu in Donghu County, it has already aroused the dissatisfaction of many Donghu people in Donghu County, so the whole process of Xu Li's collection of evidence in Dongwu County is very popular. Strongly supported.

With such detailed evidence, Zhao Kuo didn't think that Le Shi and Le Cheng could escape the disaster easily.

Next, we just need to see how Le Cheng and Lin Xiangru will turn around.

After receiving the Queen Mother's order, Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao did not dare to neglect in the next few days, and immediately mobilized the Si Kou and his subordinates to start the trial of the case of the Le family.

Since Zhao Kuo submitted too much evidence at one time, the trial took nearly a month.

One month later, Mr. Pingyang sat in his office room, looked at the thick files in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"If it was the time period when bamboo slips were still being used, the bamboo slip files needed to complete the trial of so many cases would have filled an entire room, wouldn't they?"

Thinking of this, Mr. Pingyang couldn't help but thank Zhao Kuo in his heart.

It has to be said that the paper invented by Zhao Kuo really has an earth-shaking promoting effect on the official office of Zhao State.

Lord Pingyang asked the officials in front of him: "So, all the facts of the case have been clarified, right?"

The Zhao official in front of Lord Pingyang, that is, Lord Pingyang's confidant, said respectfully: "Master, all the cases have basically been investigated.

The evidence submitted by Wu Xinjun can be said to be very detailed. Most of the members of the Le family have been convicted of the crime and can be convicted on the spot.

Only a small number of people may have more crimes, and additional investigations are required. "

After hearing these words, Jun Pingyang couldn't help shaking his head.

"This Le Cheng is simply used to being lawless, and he actually made such a big deal. Let's see how he ends up this time."

Lord Pingyang thought for a while, picked up all the files in front of him, stood up and said: "Okay, let's arrange a carriage. I'm going to the palace to report to the queen mother now."

Half an hour later, in King Zhao's palace.

The queen mother looked at Pingyang Jun in front of her very calmly and said: "So most of the crimes committed by members of the Le family are true, right?"

Lord Pingyang nodded, and said to the queen mother: "Return to the queen mother, it is true.

Most of the members of the Le family have already been convicted of crimes. Only a small number of members of the Le family are charged with crimes that may be more serious than those submitted by Wu Xinjun. Further investigation and supplementary evidence are needed. "

The queen mother couldn't help being silent when she heard the words.

At this time, the Queen Mother was actually very disappointed in Le Cheng.

As the ruler of a country, after so many years, the Queen Mother actually has her own set of governance concepts.

From the Queen Mother's point of view, she doesn't really care much about an official using power for personal gain when he is a magistrate, but the key is that while you seek benefits for yourself, you must also be worthy of the Queen Mother's trust and help the Queen Mother manage the place well.

Looking at it now, it is clear that Le Yu, the former governor of Donghu County, did not fulfill the Queen Mother's expectations.

The queen mother suddenly said, "Has that Le Yu been dispatched to the frontier to repair the Great Wall?"

Lord Pingyang replied: "Exactly, it was on the road two months ago."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Send another decree to the Great Wall, let Le Yu die directly."

Although the queen mother was very calm when she spoke, there was still a clear coldness flashing in her pair of phoenix eyes.

Lord Pingyang's heart skipped a beat, then immediately calmed down, and said: "Old minister understands.

So, regarding other people in these cases, what do you think, Queen Mother? "

What Mr. Pingyang asked was actually the empress dowager's attitude towards punishment for everyone in the Le family.

The Empress Dowager stared at Lord Pingyang, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Pingyang, these days Lin Xiangru and Le Cheng should have been asking you for mercy, right?"

Jun Pingyang's heart skipped a beat again when he heard the words, thinking that today's queen mother is really too sharp in her words, every time she speaks, it is a little unpredictable and difficult to answer.

After hesitating for a moment, Lord Pingyang gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want to play with the queen mother, there are indeed some voices of intercession during this period, but the old ministers all refused.

The veteran has always been doing things impartially for Da Zhao and the Queen Mother, and has no idea about other things at all. "

To some extent, Mr. Pingyang has actually learned to be smart.

When Mr. Pingyang was secretly instigating King Zhao, he was found out by the Queen Mother, and he gave him a severe beating.

Therefore, Lord Pingyang now puts on a very well-behaved appearance in front of the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, after seeing Pingyang Jun's attitude, the queen mother showed a satisfied expression on her face, and said: "Very well, we don't need the kind of courtiers who always like to have their own ideas and conflict with Da Zhao's interests. What is needed are courtiers who can act impartially according to the law.

Mr. Pingyang, you should understand what I mean, right? "

Jun Pingyang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood, he came over and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, I understand, I must act fairly."

The next day, a news directly detonated the entire Handan city.

On the same day, Mr. Pingyang officially issued an order to arrest 23 members of the Le family and put them in jail on the spot.

Everyone knows that this period of time happened to be the time when Wu Xinjun, Zhao Kuo and Le Cheng were fighting to the death, and it was already commonplace for both parties to present memorials to impeach each other.

At this point in time, such a big incident suddenly broke out in Le Shi, which inevitably makes people feel—is it possible that Le Shi is going to be completely ruined this time?

Chapter 695

After Le Cheng heard the news, he was dumbfounded.

Although he really wanted to help his clan get rid of the crime, in the end Le Cheng could only watch helplessly as many yamen servants who belonged to the Sikou arrested Le clan members and left.

After watching the yamen servants leave, Le Cheng became distraught and went straight to Lin Xiangru's house.

"Xinjun, tell me what is going on?

Are we about to be defeated by Zhao Kuo? "

Lin Xiangru was silent for a while, and suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "Wu Dingjun, have you noticed something?"

Le Cheng said with some doubts: "What is it?"

Lin Xiangru chuckled, and said to Le Cheng: "Although many members of the Le family have been arrested, you, the patriarch of the Zhao Guole family, are still safe and sound, and you can sit here and chat with the old man. Don't you think this actually represents Did you get a lot?"

Hearing this, Le Cheng was stunned.

Naturally, this news was quickly reported to Zhao Kuo's Wu Xinjun mansion.

After Li Mu heard the news, he couldn't help showing a smile: "It seems that Le Cheng should be completely finished this time.

Lin Xiangru has lost a general, so there should be no way to continue to fight against us, right? "

These days, Li Mu's life is actually a bit miserable.

There is no other reason, that is, in the escalating impeachment battle between the two sides, Li Mu was also impeached.

Li Mu was impeached for a very simple crime, that is, Li Mu was cruel by nature, he committed massacres when he conquered other races, and even built other people's heads into a Beijing temple. The level of cruelty is really outrageous.

After hearing the news, Li Mu was so angry that he almost went directly to the door to have a real PK with others.

In the end, it was Zhao Kuo's words that directly pulled Li Mu back.

"If you care about those saints, doesn't that mean that your own intelligence has also been lowered to the level of those saints?"

Li Mu thought it made sense, after all normal people don't need to argue with idiots, so he let this matter go.

Even so, Li Mu was still very upset, and hoped that Le Cheng and Lin Xiangru could be defeated soon, so that he could concentrate on training the army and conquer the next territory for Zhao.

Therefore, Li Mu was naturally very happy when he heard of Le's suffering, because he felt that this matter was finally coming to an end.

Including looking at other people and saying, "What's your opinion?"

Li Mu subconsciously looked at the others, but what surprised Li Mu was that the other three people didn't have any smiles on their faces.

Xu Li sighed, and said: "Although the Le family was indeed severely injured, Le Cheng, as the Patriarch of the Le family, was able to survive this matter unharmed. It seems that it may have been ordered by the queen mother."

Guo Zong also said: "If you can't move to Lecheng, even if all the members of the Le clan are thrown into prison, it won't be of much use.

After all, as long as Le Cheng is still there, Le's can be re-established at any time. "

Since Han Fei has a stutter, his way of expression is also more direct, that is, a long sigh.

Li Mu was completely stunned now.

After several seconds, Li Mu couldn't help but said, "So we didn't get much advantage this time, did we?"

Zhao Kuo nodded slowly and said, "That's the truth.

What we have thrown out is actually a trump card. According to normal circumstances, this trump card should be enough to kill Le Cheng directly.

But now Le Cheng is still alive and kicking, which only shows that the queen mother does not want to kill Le Cheng directly. "

Li Mu couldn't help but said again: "Even so, isn't Le Cheng seriously injured now?

He should have no way to continue to launch a counterattack against us, right? "

Zhao Kuo laughed, and patiently explained to Li Mu: "Le Cheng has indeed lost his strength, but don't forget that the person who can really decide the success or failure this time is not Le Cheng, but the Queen Mother.

What kind of person is the Queen Mother?

In fact, she is a person who pays great attention to balance. In the case of killing Le Cheng, she will stab us in turn to weaken our power, so that a balance can be achieved. "

Li Mu just woke up like a dream, and said, "That means we're going to be in big trouble, right?"

Zhao Kuo nodded very calmly, and said, "That's the reason, but I don't know whether the queen mother wants to do it this time, Pang Qing, or one of you, or someone else."

As soon as Zhao Kuo's words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then a steward of the Zhao family knocked on the door, and said in a hurry: "The master is not good, suddenly a lot of people came outside. Officers and soldiers, I don’t know what to do!”

Zhao Kuo's confidantes in the study suddenly changed color.

Zhao Kuo did not have much surprise on his face, but instead smiled: "Look, the queen mother's movements are actually quite fast.

Well, don't worry, you all go with me to see who it is, and see how the Queen Mother finds the balance this time. "

After a while, the gate of Zhao Kuo's mansion opened slowly.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed in, and the current one was an acquaintance of Zhao Kuo, who is now the eunuch Ling of Zhao Guo.

The eunuch ordered a salute to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun."

Zhao Kuo looked at the Eunuch Ling calmly, and said, "I don't know why the Eunuch Ling came to the Marquis's house with such great fanfare all of a sudden?"

The eunuch Ling chuckled, and said to Zhao Kuo with some embarrassment: "To tell the truth from Lord Wu Xin, the old man is actually just following orders this time.

Wu Xinjun, Guo Zong, the steward of your house, was reported to have smuggled various military weapons into Qi State, so the old man was ordered by the Empress Dowager to arrest Guo Zong and bring him back to the government for interrogation. "

The eunuch Ling's voice fell, and the faces of the others were all changed, and they all looked at Guo Zong.

Guo Zong's face did not change, but he bowed to Zhao Kuo: "My lord, the old minister will let them go."

Looking at Guo Zong, Zhao Kuo suddenly opened his arms and gave Guo Zong a big hug.

"Don't worry, no one will do anything to you.

This marquis swears to God that I will definitely rescue you from the prison safe and sound. "

Seeing Guo Zong being taken away, everyone around Zhao Kuo fell silent.

Even though Guo Zong doesn't seem to have much sense of presence at ordinary times, but as Zhao Kuo's financial steward, Guo Zong's importance is beyond doubt.

After a while, Zhao Kuo snorted softly.

"This Queen Mother really understands the principle of one person, one knife."

When Zhao Kuo said this, there was undisguised anger in Zhao Kuo's tone.

Chapter 696 Interrogation of Guo Zong (Seventh Change)

Le Cheng began to get excited.

Although it was obvious that many members of the Le clan were arrested just one day ago, and now there are not many Le clan owners left in the entire Le clan's mansion, Le Cheng is still very happy.

Because he had already heard the news of Guo Zong's arrest.

Le Cheng couldn't wait to find Lin Xiangru again.

"Xinjun, will we be able to completely defeat this annoying guy like Zhao Kuo this time?"

Lin Xiangru was obviously not as optimistic as Le Cheng, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Is it okay or not?

The key still depends on Pingyang Jun's interrogation of Guo Zong.

If Mr. Pingyang can't pry Guo Zong's mouth open, then our counterattack against Mr. Wu Xin this time is actually meaningless. "

Le Cheng said excitedly: "How could it be meaningless?

I can tell that the Queen Mother's current attitude is very obvious, first directly disabled our Le clan, and then arrested Guo Zong.
