The hall of the Tingwei Mansion suddenly became empty, so Mei Xinqu, the Minister of Revenue who was taken into the door, felt a chill in his heart.

It wasn't just now that he felt cold. From the moment he saw Zhang Tang, deputy chief of Tingwei's mansion, breaking into his house with a brigade of black cavalry, it was already cold. The coldness now is even cooler, which is so cool.

It can be said that he was the first person to enjoy the treatment of a black cavalry sent by the Tingwei Mansion since the founding of the country.

But then again, if you were not a senior official of the third rank, you wouldn’t have to use the Black Cavalry, let alone a deputy chief lieutenant.

"His Majesty!"

Mei Xinqu saw Li Chi sitting there, walked a few steps, and then thumped to kneel down on the ground.

"I am guilty, but I am wronged."

Mei Xinqu knelt while kowtowing, and soon her forehead was broken and blood was seen, but he seemed to have no idea what pain was.

Li Chi just looked at this person indifferently and let the person kowtow in front of him until he was bleeding.

Mei Xinqu kowtowed while defending himself, saying that he was completely unaware of why the manager in the mansion did such a thing, and he was also unaware of it.

But he guessed whether this manager was Daning's enemy, so he deliberately did this to frame an important official of the court.

Li Chi didn't know when he started. Seeing this kind of crying, he felt no worries. Maybe it was because of the state of mind that he had practiced, maybe... born?

"Ye Xiaoqian, go and close the door."

After a long time, Li Chi gave an order.

The commander of the big inner guard Ye Xiaoqian immediately stepped over, left the hall first, and pulled the door outside.

After only His Majesty of Daning and a crying minister were left in the hall, the chill seemed even heavier.

The weather brings people coldness, winter clothes and braziers can be controlled, but what can he use to resist the chill that His Majesty of Daning brings to Mei Xinqu?

"Two years ago, when I was still in Shuzhou, Xu Ji sent someone to kill Lu Chonglou."

Li Chi stood up and walked slowly around Mei Xinqu while talking slowly.

"Those people were unable to kill Lu Chonglou, and the person was missing. Do you think they were really missing?"

Li Chiwen.

Mei Xinqu subconsciously raised her head and looked at Li Chi. Not to mention Lu Chonglou or Lu Chonglou, the fear in his eyes could be said to be higher.

Without his answer, Li Chi continued as he paced and said, "You probably know that Guan Mo is not dead for a while. He framed Lu Chonglou, and I didn't kill him. Guess why?"

Mei Xinqu didn't dare to speak, didn't dare to say a word, and her whole body was trembling.

At this moment, his heart was twisted and turned, and he seemed to see a trace of hope.

None of those people died, why didn’t they die?

Mei Xinqu suddenly realized that His Majesty did not want them to die because they would definitely have great uses in the future, and this great use must also be related to Xu Ji.

So he thought for a moment that he would not die, and His Majesty would keep him like Guan Mo, and it would work at critical moments.

"I really know my guilt. Please give me a chance to forgive me. As long as your Majesty asks me to do it, no matter what it is or when it is, I will go through fire and water..."

Li Chi stopped and looked down at Mei Xinqu: "Do you go through fire and water? Then why wait until the future?"

Mei Xinqu was so scared that she shivered again.

Li Chi said: "Are you thinking that I can stop killing those people, and of course I can stop killing you?"

Before Mei Xinqu could speak, Li Chi returned to the chair and sat down and continued, "You were wrong. You almost killed a founding duke of Daning and a Qiandian of the Tingwei Mansion... Are you still thinking about how to live?"

Li Chi said: "Cheng Wujie is like my brothers. Fang Xidao has been following me since the beginning. You...what should I say to you?"

Li Chi waved to Mei Xinqu, and Mei Xinqu immediately crawled and knelt in front of Li Chi.

Li Chi reached out and pinched Mei Xinqu's chin, twisted and pulled her left and right, and Mei Xinqu's chin was removed.

"I don't want to listen to you."

Li Chi shouted outside the door: "Ye Xiaoqian comes in."

Ye Xiaoqian immediately pushed the door and leaned over and said, "I'm here."

Li Chi pointed to Mei Xin and said, "He said he was willing to go through fire and water for me, so I would find a place to lock me up first. I want to see how I can go through fire and water for me after Lord Mei is locked up."

Ye Xiaoqian leaned over and said, "I understand."

He came over and picked up Mei Xinqu and took it out of the hall.

Not long after, Mei Xinqu was locked up in a small house in the backyard of Tingwei Mansion. After the person was thrown in, many large guards silently carried firewood and threw it in, throwing it into bundles. Mei Xinqu was removed from his chin and could not even shout.

Then a fire started and the little house disappeared.

Ye Xiaoqian looked at the fire burning, watched the fire burning out, and looked at the burning thing in the ashes, expressionless.

After seeing it, I turned around and left, and soon returned to the hall of Tingwei Mansion.

"His Majesty."

Ye Xiaoqian leaned over and said, "I don't know why the torture room where the reincarnated criminal Mei Xinqu caught fire. The house was burned out, and Mei Xinqu was burned out."

Li Chi glanced at Ye Xiaoqian: "Why are you so dereliction of duty?"

Ye Xiaoqian's body was even lowered: "I know the crime, please punish him."

Li Chi stood up and said, "It's a three-month fine."

Ye Xiaoqian said: "I will receive the punishment."

Li Chi walked out, and a large area of ​​the courtiers in the courtier's palace immediately knelt down.

"Zhang Tang."

Li shouted, and Zhang Tang hurried over: "Your Majesty, the crime is here."

Li Chi said: "The Empress asked you to take charge of the Tingwei Mansion. Look at how long it has been. What did you manage the Tingwei Mansion? You have demoted to Baishang Office and leave the matter of the Tingwei Mansion to Mr. Ye for a temporary basis."

Zhang Tang kowtowed and said, "I am guilty of death, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Chi ignored him, and even more so, the kneeling lieutenants pulled Tang Pidian: "Let's go."

They left, and did not say what to do with the people arrested at Mei Xinqu’s home.

Zhang Tang glanced at Mr. Ye, and Mr. Ye sighed slightly, "Are there many houses that can be burned in the Tingwei Mansion?"

Zhang Tang looked at Mr. Ye and then smiled bitterly after a moment.

Not long after, officials of all sizes in the court received news that Mei Xinqu was arrogant and unruly, and did not discipline the subordinates in the mansion, so that the subordinates in the mansion were domineering.

These people actually had a conflict with Cheng Wujie, the founding Duke of the Kingdom, outside Chang'an City, and then suddenly attacked and seriously injured Cheng Wujie.

Such a reckless and lawless thing should not be forgiven easily. So Your Majesty issued an order to take all the people in Mei Xinqu and his mansion into the Tingwei Mansion for trial.

Unexpectedly, Mei Xinqu was burning himself in Tingwei's Mansion for fear of crime.

In fact, no one believes this. Those first-class masters who fell into the hands of the Tingwei Mansion have no ability to commit suicide. Can a civil servant do it? Of course, no one dares to question it.

I didn't know it, but it was burned anyway.

East Warm Pavilion.

Li Chi sat cross-legged on the earthen kang and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Pidi and others standing next to him immediately leaned over slightly.

"Old Tang stayed, and the others went back to do things."

Li Chi looked at Tang Pidian and said, and the others immediately bent down and bowed, then left the East Warm Pavilion.

"Old Tang, is my thoughts too cruel?"

"Your Majesty is not ruthless."

Tang Pidian replied: "Whether today or the next day, what Your Majesty does is for the people of future generations and for the future of Daning."

Li Chi said: "I went to see that the process of Wujie is now. The reason why he left the city was because many of his former subordinates ran to his mansion to sue Xu Ji. These people were scolded by Cheng Wujie. He was worried that it would be harmful if this continued, so he hurried out of the city to discuss with you."

Tang Pidian did not answer Li Chi's words, but said another thing.

"The soldiers of the nineteenth guards have been clearly divided according to His Majesty's will, and the eighteen generals of the eighteen guards have been appointed according to their will and can take office at any time."

Li Chi nodded.

"I will announce this in the court tomorrow."

Li Chi looked out the window: "Generals, please go to various routes to lead the troops."

Tang Piddi leaned over and said, "It's time for me to leave Chang'an. As long as I'm still in Chang'an, some people dare not be too presumptuous after all."

Li Chi nodded again, then said in a low tone: "You have said you want to leave Chang'an many times, but I have never agreed. This time I agree... Where do you want to go?"

Tang Pidian replied: "Go to the northwest."

Li Chi nodded: "The northwest is very good. The western Xinjiang has always lacked troops. Even though he has served as the general of the Western Xinjiang and has also planned to build the western Xinjiang arsenal, the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, so it will not take a moment to replenish troops."

He looked at Tang Pidian: "I will give you three years to create a Northwest Camp to train new recruits and train the soldiers you want to train."

Tang Pidian leaned over: "I obey the order, and I have another unhappy request."

Li Chi asked: "What is it?"

Tang Pidian said: "My brother Tang Anchen, please go to the northwest to train troops, so he should not stay in Chang'an City."
