Chapter 5098

After Li Si issued this order, the cabinet fell into tranquility, and no new decrees appeared.

The civil and military officials in the courtroom breathed a sigh of relief. Even many members of the Lu Party felt Lu Yu's vigorous and resolute actions, so they were quite uneasy, for fear that one of Lu Yu's decisions would affect what they have now. status.

Before they could recover, Li Si appeared in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Si is the Minister of Punishment, but in fact, as Lu Yu's agent, Li Si's power is no longer limited to the Punishment.

Li Si can intervene in the main business of the six departments. When it comes to power, Li Si is no longer as simple as the chief assistant of the cabinet, he is more like the prime minister of the medieval dynasty.

In the Criminal Department, Li Si immediately announced that he would implement the most severe crackdown on all criminal activities within the imperial capital.

For a period of one month, lethal destruction will be carried out against the soil of all crimes, and the darkness shrouded in the imperial capital will be completely cleared away.

To this end, Li Si even mobilized a large number of masters from Jinyi Longwei and Six Gates.

Since the early morning, the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment opened, and countless officials of the Ministry of Punishment led a large number of officials and went in different directions.

They have been chartered to fly in the sky of the Imperial Capital, and the entire Imperial Capital will tremble because of them today.

...

Punishment Heaven Prison.

Li Si walked into this cell, and a strong smell of blood rushed to his face, which was quite pungent.

A death row prisoner was brought before Li Si, his eyes were full of despair, his hair was loose, and his steps were ragged.

The white prison uniform has been soaked with blood, and the dead prisoners are covered with marks of whips and blood-red wounds, which look shocking.

The death row prisoner is held down on the table, and he sees Li Si.

The surroundings were pitch black, and the faint candlelight reflected Li Si's young and handsome face. This is a very imposing young man. He looks either rich or expensive. He was born very thin, but he hides a majesty that cannot be questioned.

"Xiao Qing, a native of Dijing, is thirty-nine years old this year. Twenty years ago, you raped and murdered a female cultivator in your classmate in Guozijian. After the incident, you were detained in the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Originally, you were supposed to be executed, but it coincided with the enthronement of Emperor Linglong, who granted amnesty to the world. As a condemned prisoner, although the crime cannot be forgiven, the death penalty has been changed to temporarily not dealt with, so you have been in this prison for 20 years. , am I right?"

Li Si's voice was cold and emotionless.

There was a relieved smile on the face of the death row prisoner Xiao Qing.

"So, is the lord here to execute me?" Xiao Qing's voice was calm.

Li Si stared at Xiao Qing and said solemnly, "People from the Ministry of Punishment found the witnesses and found out after inquiring. On that day, Lu Qiechen, the young master of the Lu family, killed them, and then put the blame on you."

Xiao Qing's body trembled.

After a pause, Li Si continued: "I want to know the truth of what happened that day. If you don't tell me, then the truth will never come out."

Xiao Qing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he never said a word.

"You are the best in Guozijian. You entered a top university at the age of nineteen, but you spent 20 years in this prison, and the real murderer is at large. Are you going to be silent for the rest of your life?"

Li Si's voice became louder and louder, but Xiao Qing's eyes were red, but he still shook his head.

Bang!

Li Si slammed the table and scolded: "Your mother is a mortal who runs between the yamen for your business. She has gray hair and a cane. If you choose to be silent now, are you still a man! Are you a qualified son!"

Xiao Qing couldn't bear it any longer, and cried bitterly: "I was wronged, but what can I do? The Lu family is an aristocratic family, and Lu Qichen is the young master of the wealthy family. He told me that if If I dared to reveal half a word, I would kill my whole family. I am just a mere scholar, how can I resist the means of a wealthy family?"

Having said that, Xiao Qing opened his palm and said with red eyes: "I was wronged, I know, and those officials also know, but no one has avenged me. I am a scapegoat, and to the Lu family, I am not even an ant. Come on. I heard the prisoner who just came in said that the sky has changed outside, and the Lu family will become the royal family, so I can't afford to offend you! What can I do? What can I do!"

On Xiao Qing's palm, he used a stone to cut open the bloody opening, and wrote four crooked bloody words - "Tian Ri Zhao Zhao!"

Li Si let out a long sigh and helped Xiao Qing up.

"Don't worry, since I'm here, I'll be fine."

Li Si thought for a while, and then said, "With Your Majesty and I, we will be your backers."
