"Milord, the soldiers guarding the city just came to report that the army outside the city has already withdrawn.”
Prime Minister Li Yu's mansion.
His subordinates were bending over to report to Li Yu.
Hearing this news, Li Yu could not help but laugh heartily.
"Zhao Mengfu has a way. He easily made Shen Lang and Chai Jin's army retreat.”
Li Yu was a civil servant after all.
Seeing the tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the Imperial City, his heart was actually pounding.
He knew that Su Che and these sworn brothers had deep feelings for each other.
Therefore, he was worried that these people would rebel because of Su Che.
Fortunately, Zhao Mengfu had stepped in, and the crisis was immediately resolved.
Four hours ago.
In this study.
Li Yu and Zhao Mengfu had reached an agreement.
Li Yu promised Zhao Mengfu many benefits.
Zhao Mengfu also promised to calm this matter down and let Chu return to its former peace.
However, Zhao Mengfu had two conditions for Li Yu.
First, he could not attack Chai Jin, Shen Lang, and Xiao Xun. He would think of a way to persuade them.
Second, for those who spoke up for Su Che and were locked up in prison, lock them up for a few days as a punishment. Don't persecute them.
Regarding these two conditions.
Li Yu agreed after some hesitation.
The main reason was that he felt that what Zhao Mengfu said made sense.
If he wanted this matter to calm down as quickly as possible, he would have to adopt a conciliatory strategy.
It would not be good if he went on a killing spree.
At that time, Zhao Mengfu said to Li Yu,"
"Since Your Majesty is determined to convict Su Che of treason, there's no harm in publicizing Su Che's crimes throughout the entire Chu Country.”
" As for those who spoke up for Su Che, the imperial court will only lock them up in prison for a few days as a punishment. When the time comes, they will release them. At that time, the imperial court can announce to the public that this is His Majesty's special mercy because even His Majesty was deceived by Su Che. It's no wonder that the people were deceived. The people were innocent. His Majesty didn't want them to make mistakes because of Su Che, so he gave them a chance. By doing so, not only would the people be more convinced that Su Che had betrayed the country, but they would also be able to publicize His Majesty's wisdom and benevolence. It was killing two birds with one stone.”
Initially, Li Yu was quite hesitant.
He had planned to punish those who spoke up for Su Che severely.
However, after hearing Zhao Mengfu's words…
His eyes lit up.
He felt that Li Yu's move was really brilliant.
"Zhao Mengfu is indeed Su Che's good brother. He knows Su Che too well and knows how to deal with him.”
Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he had kicked Su Che out of the stage, he was still on tenterhooks.
Now, Zhao Mengfu had given him some reassurance.
He could finally sleep soundly tonight.
……
That day.
When the officials went to court.
Li Yu kept his word and did not take Chai Jin and Shen Lang's books.
Otherwise, the two of them would have to return to the Imperial City without receiving the imperial edict.
This crime was enough to make the two of them suffer.
Moreover, this crime could be big or small.
To put it simply, the empress only needed to give him a few words of reprimand, and this matter would be over.
However, to put it in a bigger context.
That would be a great crime of beheading.
Li Yu had wanted to use this opportunity to deal with Su Che's sworn brothers.
But now, Zhao Mengfu had become his political ally.
For the time being, he gave Zhao Mengfu face.
If Shen Lang and the rest were still not tactful.
Li Yu wouldn't be lenient either.
He had even taken down Su Che.
What more Shen Lang and the rest?
It had to be said that Su Che's downfall.
Li Yu's confidence had indeed skyrocketed.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, retreat."
The empress looked at the officials.
Although Su Che had already been taken down, the empress had been feeling uneasy for the past few days.
It would be better if Su Che died.
Otherwise, this would be like a thorn that would always pierce the empress's heart.
All the officials had already submitted their reports. Furthermore, everyone could clearly sense that the empress was in a bad mood today, so they didn't get into trouble.
After the empress left the court.
The officials also left the palace.
As for Shen Lang and Chai Jin, they were all alone because the other officials were far away from them.
It was as if they had a plague.
He was afraid to avoid it.
However…
After leaving the palace.
However, Shen Lang took the initiative to welcome him.
Then, one person blocked everyone's path.
The officials were frightened by Shen Lang's fierce gaze.
However, he did not dare to say anything.
"General Shen, what is the meaning of this?"
Grand Tutor Sun Yi looked at Shen Lang coldly.
"I don't mean anything else. I just have something I want to tell all of you.”
Shen Lang's expression changed.
He was so fierce just now.
Now, a smile actually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, this smile made the officials even more afraid.
Because Shen Lang's smile was really ugly.
On the contrary, it was more pleasing to the eye when it was fierce.
"I know that some of you hate my fifth brother to the bone.”
"But I'm here to warn everyone!”
"If I find out that one of you sent someone to hunt down my fifth brother, I'll kill him.”
Shen Lang's eyes were filled with killing intent. He looked like a god of death.
"I will slaughter your entire family!”
This was Shen Lang's way of intimidating the officials.
It was also the only thing he could do for Su Che as his third brother.
"Do you see that tree?"
Shen Lang pointed at a Metasequoia by the roadside.
Then, before the officials could react.
Shen Lang rushed over and clenched his fist. With a swift speed, he punched!
"Boom!"
The towering metasequoia trees instantly fell with a sound, crushing the surrounding trees.
Seeing this scene, all the officials were silent.
He did not dare to speak for a long time.
"Sirs, do you think that your brains are harder than this metasequoia? Or are your brains harder?"
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at the officials.
His words were already a blatant threat.
And Chai Jin at the side was also helpless.
Yesterday, Zhao Mengfu had told them not to act rashly.
However, Shen Lang had a bad temper.
Indeed, he couldn't.
Furthermore, Chai Jin could understand Shen Lang's feelings.
He was also worried that these people would plot against Su Che.
"Add me in!"
Chai Jin said loudly.
In for a penny and in for a pound, he also punched the wall by the roadside.
The next moment, the wall collapsed.
The owner of the house was originally working in the courtyard. When he saw the collapsed wall, he was instantly stunned.
Chai Jin also took out a bag of silver from his chest pocket and threw it towards the master.
"I accidentally caused the wall of your house to collapse. This money is compensation.”
Hearing Chai Jin's words, the officials were all incomparably aghast.
"You call this an accident?？？？？？”
……
……
Just as Shen Lang and Chai Jin were threatening the officials.
In Northern Liang, hundreds of miles away.
After three days of traveling, Su Che and Wenren Muyue arrived at Guangling City of the Northern Liang Dynasty.
The rations he had purchased in Changshan City had been used up.
The two of them went into the city to buy some necessary daily necessities and then continued on their way.
Su Che had just raised the whip in his hand and was about to lower it.
His hand suddenly hung in the air.
Then, he turned around and looked toward the northeast.
"Su Chen, did something happen?"
Wenren Muyue saw that Su Che was a little lost in thought, so she asked.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of a few old friends.”
Su Che said with a smile.
Just as he raised his whip, for some reason, he suddenly recalled the memory of his first time riding a horse.
When he was ten years old, he met Shen Lang, who was a few years older than him.
The first time Su Che learned how to ride a horse was taught by Shen Lang.
"They must be very worried that something like this happened to me.”
When he thought of this, Su Che's eyes couldn't help but flash with anger.
Even Zhao Yinman's betrayal didn't make him like this.
However, Shen Lang and the rest must be worried about him.
Su Che's heart was in a mess.
