Yan Lichu glanced around the court. She was well aware of Su Ye's impartiality, selflessness and bravery.
"Chen Mu, do you have any evidence for your accusation against Su Ye?" Yan Lichu asked coldly.
Chen Mu's heart tightened. He knew that Yan Lichu would not let go and punish Su Ye easily.
But he had already laid a trap, just waiting for Yan Lichu to fall into it.
"Your Majesty, I have detailed evidence here to prove that Su Ye executed the city lord without authorization and embezzled the property obtained from the bandits."
Chen Mu handed over an impeachment memorial.
Yan Lichu took the memorial and read it carefully with eyes as bright as a torch.
The black and white words on it described Su Ye's major crimes in a serious manner.
This is exactly the evidence that Chen Mu and the executed lord of Jubei City, who collaborated with the gang, had already fabricated it!
The evidence of the crime they committed was now fabricated on Su Ye's head!
Yan Lichu's face turned pale. She knew that the authenticity of this evidence must be doubtful.
However, in the face of pressure from the four major families and petitions signed by many officials.
Yan Lichu had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and could only hope that Su Ye could get out of trouble on his own.
"I understand. In this case, I will revoke Prime Minister Su Ye and temporarily refuse the position of Lord of Beicheng. I will make a decision after I find out the truth."
Yan Lichu said firmly.
Chen Mu was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be worried on the surface, cupping his hands and saying:
"Your Majesty is wise."
There was evil in his eyes.
If the position of Prime Minister is temporarily withdrawn, there is no chance of regaining it.
In the court hall, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, each with their own plans in mind.
The news that Yan Lichu announced the dismissal of Prime Minister Su Ye spread throughout the court and caused quite a stir.
Su Ye became the target of public criticism, and many officials began to distance themselves from him, and some even started to add insult to injury.
Chen Mu, on the other hand, acted extremely low-key, clearly wanting to protect himself and take over the position of prime minister as soon as possible.
Reject Beicheng, the city lord's mansion.
Su Ye looked at the decree coming from the capital of Dayan, still looking calm.
"Sir, they are clearly trying to frame you! Why don't you refute them?"
Mo Yi clenched his fists, his tone full of anger.
However, Su Ye remained unfazed and comforted Mo Yiyi calmly:
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
A trace of determination flashed in his eyes, such ridiculous rumors were already under his control.
It is better to carry out post-war aftermath work in an orderly manner for the people in Jubeicheng.
They come, the security.
Mo Yi wanted to say something more.
But seeing Su Ye's calm expression, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He knows that adults always have their own plans.
Not far away in the other direction of Jubei City.
The two leaders of the Shijingshan gang were drinking and eating meat.
Shijingshan and Langtou Village have always been at odds with each other, and they have fought many times over the territory surrounding Jubei City.
In the end, Langtou Village had the upper hand.
The news of Su Ye's annihilation of Langtou Village naturally made the Shijingshan gangsters cheer.
"Brother, what a God-given opportunity! There is not much food in the village, not enough for the brothers to celebrate the New Year, why not go to Jubei City for a walk?"
Wu Meng, the second head of Shi Jingshan, suggested, with greed in his eyes.
The people under his command responded one after another.
"Yes, I heard that Su Ye dared to come to suppress the bandits with only three thousand soldiers and horses, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"It's just that they encountered those losers from Langtou Village. If they encounter us, they will never come back!"
A general showed his teeth.
"I heard that Su Ye can't protect himself now. The imperial court is investigating him for his crimes. There will be no imperial reinforcements to help him."
"How much silver has Langtou Village plundered from Jubeicheng? It's still in Su Ye's hands, so let's snatch it from him while it's still hot!
The head of the family, Shi Gang, laughed out loud and exclaimed:
"What a great idea! This Jubeicheng belongs to our Shijingshan after all!"
The gangsters burst into laughter and toasted to celebrate, thinking about the property they were about to get.
The second boss, Wu Meng, raised his glass:
"Brothers, we will gather our troops tomorrow to capture Jubei City!"
"Take Jubei City!"
"Take Jubei City!"
"Take Jubei City!"
All the gangsters cheered and were full of pride.
It seems that Jubei City is already in Shijingshan's pocket.
However, what they don't know is.
Among them, a bandit whose entire face was covered by the shadow of his hood smiled silently.
Behind him, a homing pigeon quietly took off and flew to Jubei City with the news.
It's Su Ye's Jin Yiwei!
Reject Beicheng.
Su Ye received an urgent letter.
He quickly opened it and read the contents of the letter.
"Shi Jingshan will attack tomorrow. The defense of the position is weak and everyone is drunk. Come quickly."
Su Ye had already figured out the situation of the forces surrounding Jubei City, and he also deployed people to monitor Shi Jingshan.
Sure enough, we got the key information.
This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime offensive opportunity.
Su Ye stood up decisively, took out a map near Jubei City, and studied the battle situation carefully.
He found that he had to start from Jubei City and go through a winding mountain road to reach Shijing Mountain.
This is a dangerous road with complex terrain, which is not conducive to enemy defense.
Su Ye believed that this was the best route for their attack.
Su Ye thought deeply for a moment, and then decisively ordered:
"Notify all departments and gather urgently!"
The Jubeicheng sergeant took action quickly, nervously and orderly.
Su Ye personally led three thousand elites, quietly left the city, and headed towards Shijing Mountain along the winding mountain road.
As night falls, the cold wind blows in the mountains.
At this time, the Shijingshan gang was still drinking wine and immersed in the fantasy of capturing Jubei City tomorrow.
"You have to drink this wine at the top of Jubei City tomorrow!"
Completely unaware that danger was approaching quietly.
Su Ye made a gesture, and Mo Yi immediately took Jin Yiwei and sneaked into the night.
Like a pack of cheetahs, they approach their prey silently.
In the mountains and forests of Shijingshan, Su Ye's three thousand elite troops were waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
The Jinyi guards were like the god of death in the dark night, quietly approaching various guard points in Shijingshan.
The dagger reflected the cold light in the moonlight, and in the next moment, it slit the throat of the Shijingshan gangster.
In an instant, the Shijingshan gang fell into chaos.
Wails and screams came and went.
"Attack!"
Following Su Ye's order, three thousand elites plunged straight into Shijingshan like a sharp sword.
In the night battle, Su Ye's troops were like tigers rushing into the flock of sheep, invincible.
The gangsters in Shijingshan were awakened from their drunkenness and resisted in panic.
However, facing Su Ye's elite troops, their resistance seemed so weak.
Under the leadership of Su Ye, the Jubeicheng sergeants were unstoppable.
In one night, all the Shijingshan gangs were defeated.
Only the second-in-command Wu Meng, who suddenly had an urgent need to urinate and went to relieve himself in the forest, watched all this in horror.
Not daring to make any sound.
He managed to escape by rolling on the ground and went straight to another nearby mountain village.
