Chapter 49
Lu Hao turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes striding over with steps that he didn't recognize.

There are more than a dozen guards behind him, and they look like private guards at first glance.

"Lord Lu is so powerful!"

The person who came had a proud look on his face, his nostrils turned upward.

"I've met Prince Rui!"

Liu Bingyan and others rushed to greet him.

Everyone showed weird smiles, obviously wanting to see Lu Hao's joke.

After all, it is the prince who is here!

The whole world belongs to the Murong family, how can you, a mere slave, make a huge difference?
"I'm here to see you, Prince Rui."

Lu Hao looked up and down at this noble prince, his courtesy was quite considerate.

"Master Lu, Master Jiang, has he violated national law or family law? Is it worth taking action yourself?"

Prince Rui walked over boldly and sat directly in his seat.

Obviously, this was to give him a blow.

It's a pity that the emperor has authorized that any relative of the emperor who interferes with the rectification of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be killed without mercy.

"Reporting to the prince, Mr. Jiang despises his subordinates, and only minor officials will punish him."

Lu Hao was not timid at all.

Snapped!
Prince Rui slapped his hand on the table.

"Lu Hao, you are so brave!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Prince Rui, I don't know where to start with this."

Lu Hao asked calmly.

"Master Jiang is dedicated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and loyal to the royal family. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work."

"That's good for you! Isn't it daring to impose heavy responsibilities on meritorious ministers just after taking over the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Prince Rui shouted coldly.

What?A meritorious minister?

Such moths can actually be labeled as meritorious ministers. No wonder the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in such a mess.

Lu Hao's expression changed again and again. He suppressed his anger and wanted to see what Prince Rui wanted to do.

It turned out that the two guards holding him down were also afraid of Prince Rui, so they immediately let go.

"Master Lu, why didn't you say anything? Weren't you bold just now? Weren't you going to beat the official to death?"

Master Jiang struggled to get up, arrogant and mocking.

The rest of the people looked at the scene in front of them and felt happy in their hearts.

The Yi sisters were about to have a fit, but Lu Hao stopped them with his eyes.

He took his time and walked slowly to the table, picked up a ledger, and handed it to Prince Rui respectfully with both hands.

"Prince Qi Chunrui, this is Master Jiang's account book. There is evidence in it that he has been corrupt and violated the law."

Lu Hao said loudly.

Courtesy first, then attack, this is Lu Hao's principle in dealing with things, and also his principle in life.

Prince Rui glanced at the account book in his hand. How could he not know that Lord Jiang was embezzling?
"Prince Rui, the official is loyal to the royal family and has never been corrupt or perverting the law. This is Lu Hao's false accusation against the official! Please give me a clear warning!"

Master Jiang was steadfast in his oath, but he was panicking in his heart.

There were several confusing transactions in the ledger, and he knew very well that all the money went into his own pocket.

However, now that he has the support of Prince Rui, how can he admit it?
He suddenly turned around, pointed at Lu Hao and shouted: "Lu Hao, don't think that you are a popular person around the emperor, so you dare to frame the imperial official."

"I act upright and sit upright. I am not afraid of you checking the accounts, let alone a villain like you who pretends to be powerful!"

Prince Rui did not take the account book, but shouted coldly: "Lu Hao, you dare to frame a court official. What crime should you be punished for?"

"Prince Rui said that the official framed Mr. Jiang without looking at the account books. It seems unreasonable, right?"

Lu Hao's face darkened.

"Lu Hao, pay attention to your identity. You are just a slave of our Murong family. You dare to question your master. That is a capital crime!"

Prince Rui shouted again.

"I'm sorry, my master is the current emperor!"

Lu Hao is very confident.

"What did you say? You dare to compete with me, do you believe that I will drag you out and chop you down?" Prince Rui also got angry.

"Your Highness wants to chop off my father-in-law's head? I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts yet!"

Lu Hao no longer wanted to tolerate it.

"Come here, drag this slave down for me and chop him down!"

Prince Rui yelled.

In his opinion, Lu Hao, even if he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, was just a slave of the Murong family.

In his rage, he killed him.

Can the emperor still argue with his cousin?Can he still be punished?
Two private guards rushed up and were about to capture Lu Hao at first glance.

The Yi sisters rushed out and stood in front of Lu Hao.

"I have been ordered by the emperor to protect Eunuch Lu. If anyone dares to take action, he will be killed without mercy!"

The two sisters drew their swords at the same time, filled with murderous intent.

Prince Rui's personal guard and the rest also rushed up and surrounded the Yi sisters.

War is imminent!
The others were frightened and backed away.

"Prince Rui, Mr. Lu is the emperor's personally appointed head of the Internal Affairs Bureau. Even if there is a mistake, the prince cannot kill people here."

Liu Bingyan gritted his teeth and risked his life to speak out.

"Master Liu, he is just a slave. If you kill him, kill him. If anything happens, it is the king's responsibility."

"Even if the emperor pursues me, I won't be afraid!"

Prince Rui really had murderous intentions towards Lu Hao.

Mr. Jiang also quickly grabbed Liu Bingyan and persuaded him: "Mr. Liu, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved."

"Master Jiang, Mr. Lu is personally appointed by the emperor. If Mr. Lu dies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will be punished by death!"

Liu Bingyan was quite sober.

"What Mr. Liu said is true. Please think again, Your Majesty."

One of the officials stood up.

This guy's name is Hu Donglai, the head of the Criminal Punishment Department, who is mainly in charge of the criminal law enforcement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Master Lu is disrespectful to the prince, despises the imperial power, and is treasonous. I think he should be dragged out and beheaded."

Someone else stood up.

This guy's name is Cheng Yu. He is the head of the Kuaiji Department and is in charge of finance. He is also a corrupt person.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and for a while, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was divided into two factions.

"What? Are we all going to rebel?"

Prince Rui roared angrily.

In his opinion, as a prince, he could suppress these guys no matter what.

Unexpectedly, there are still people on Lu Hao's side.

Lu Hao had been watching with a cold eye, just wanting to see how everyone was doing as a team.

After all, he had just arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he didn't know how many people were willing to support him.

Although there are only a quarter of the people, it is enough.

These people who support themselves can be reused.

As for those guys who are eager to drag themselves out and behead them, their official career is over.

What made him most gratified was that Liu Bingyan was able to protect him.

Lu Hao slowly raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand and said loudly: "This is the Emperor's Sword given by the Emperor. Seeing the sword is like seeing the Holy Emperor, so why don't you kneel down!"

When the others saw the Emperor's Sword, they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

The crowd chanted long live.

Prince Rui was stunned on the spot, his mind went blank.

"Prince Rui, how dare you disrespect the emperor! Where are the guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Lu Hao shouted loudly.
