The prime minister always builds a floor in the imperial study

Before Lan Shuming and Zhao Fengling arrived at Dali Temple, they could already see the raging fire burning in the distance. It seemed that it was really burning, and it burned down three houses at least!

"Hurry up!" Lan Shuming lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the guards driving outside.

The man swung his whip and threw it down with one hand, the whip hit the horse, and the carriage rushed forward.

When Lan Shuming and Zhao Fengling approached the prison, they could clearly feel that the raging fire could almost dry a layer of skin.

"Your Excellency, you are back! Prime Minister Sun has already burned five cells! Go and have a look!" Seeing Dali Siqing get off the carriage, a disgraced guard hurried up to greet him, and said anxiously.

"Take us to check the situation!" A majestic voice came from the curtain. The guard wanted to say who dared to be so bold, but when the curtain was opened, it turned out that it was Prime Minister Lan and the emperor. The guard immediately knelt down.

"See the emperor, see Prime Minister Lan!"

"Get up and take us to have a look!" Lan Shuming jumped out of the carriage, and the emperor naturally did not show any weakness. Walked where the fire was blazing.

The closer you get, the more you can feel a gust of hot wind and thick smoke billowing in your face.

Walking to the nearest safe distance, Lan Shuming glanced inside. A black figure was standing inside holding a torch. Lan Shuming carefully looked at the situation on the scene. After burning a circle, there was no fire in his own place.

"Lan Shuming, you're finally here. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time!" The people there saw Lan Shuming's arrival and suddenly shouted.

"I don't know why Prime Minister Sun is looking for me. Is it to roast something with such a big fire? It would be great! Do you need to prepare some cattle and sheep?" Lan Shuming glanced at the people inside and smiled. Said, but his heart is not as calm as his face.

"Lan Shuming, don't play tricks on the old man here. Don't you want to know where General Li Chengli is? Come here, we can talk about it." Prime Minister Sun said with a sneer, with a confident expression on his face, just It was because he had mastered Lan Shuming's lifeblood that he was so confident at this time.

This Li Cheng is a general, an indispensable general nowadays, Lan Shuming must be very concerned about this person!

"Prime Minister Sun, there is no evidence for what you say. Why should I believe that you know the whereabouts of General Li? If Prime Minister Sun wants to talk to me, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you." Lan Shuming continued to speak calmly.

"Prime Minister Sun, you are dying, don't do these unnecessary struggles anymore!" the emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, do you think I'm going to die like this? No, take a look at what it is!" Prime Minister Sun reached out and took out something from his pocket as soon as he finished speaking, and threw it over vigorously. Lan Shuming stared at it. Watching that thing draw an arc in the air, pass through the raging fire, and land on the ground.

Lan Shuming looked at the thing that fell to his feet, squatted down and picked it up, it turned out to be a longevity lock!

But this is not an ordinary long-lived lock. Lan Shuming clearly remembers that it was Li Chengniang's kiss when he was a child. Li Cheng never left this thing!I never thought that it was actually in the hands of Prime Minister Sun.

Lan Shuming's heart was even heavier, but he didn't show it on the surface. Prime Minister Sun must have something to say. This is his last bargaining chip. Don't panic. Once you panic, you will fall into his trap. trap.

"What does Prime Minister Sun mean?" the Prime Minister continued to ask.

"Isn't it obvious what you mean? As long as the emperor promises never to kill the ministers or punish the nine clans of the ministers, I will return General Li to you, how about it?" Prime Minister Sun said confidently.

Lan Shuming squeezed the longevity lock in his hand, and the atmosphere became a little gloomy.He glanced at the emperor, only to find that the emperor was also looking at him.

Lan Shuming didn't speak, but the emperor said, "Okay, I've agreed to your request, and you should tell the whereabouts of General Li right now."

Lan Shuming's face was livid, and he didn't say anything else.

"No, there is no basis for saying it, and I would like to ask the emperor to draw up an imperial decree and stamp it with the jade seal!" Prime Minister Sun continued.

"You!" The emperor was angry.

"The emperor doesn't need to write it, so don't think about telling the whereabouts of General Li." The prime minister smiled, and the anger in Lan Shuming's heart became even worse.

"Eunuch, bring me my jade seal! I will write this imperial decree!" the emperor said coldly.

Soon someone prepared the things. The emperor wrote very short, but it was over in a few lines. After waiting for a while, the father-in-law brought the emperor's jade seal under the escort of the guards, and the emperor stamped it on The seal was issued, and the martial arts masters took the imperial decree and passed it to the prime minister through the sea of ​​fire.

The moment he received the imperial decree, Prime Minister Sun couldn't help laughing, but the faces of the emperor, Prime Minister Lan and Dali Siqing all became ugly.

The emperor's golden words can no longer go back on what he said, and now it is written in the imperial decree, which also shows that no matter how much Prime Minister Sun does in the future, it is impossible to punish him to the nine clans, let alone touch him vellus.

"Prime Minister Sun, do you really think this is over?" A familiar voice came from behind everyone.

Lan Shuming turned around in surprise, never expecting that it was Li Cheng, his clothes were ragged, his face was very pale and bloodless, and he looked a little more embarrassed than the current Dali Siqing.

"Li Cheng, why are you here!" Lan Shuming asked in surprise.

"Well, it's a long story, I'll talk about it later, you take Prime Minister Sun down first!" After speaking, Li Cheng couldn't help coughing a few times, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. Lan Shuming knew that Li Cheng must be Injuried.

When he turned around, he saw Prime Minister Sun trying to escape.

"Take him down." The emperor gave an order, and all the guards rushed up immediately, and the water that had been prepared earlier put out half of the fire.

"Your Majesty, I have an imperial decree. You said you wouldn't do anything to me! You said it!" Prime Minister Sun yelled loudly, probably because he was too excited, Prime Minister Sun broke free from the two guards restraining him, Pulling out the sword from a guard's waist, he rushed towards the emperor.

After running for a few steps, he felt a chill in his neck. Before he could react, he felt warm blood flowing from his neck. He looked at Lan Shuming standing in front of him in disbelief.Stretching out his hand and pointing tremblingly, a "you" murmured in his throat for a long time but failed to make a sound.

Lan Shuming shook off the blood on the sword, and said lightly: "The emperor wrote an imperial decree not to kill you, but he didn't say that I can't kill you!"
