Chapter 152: Disintegration

(Revised)

Zhu Ming listened to the housekeeper's words, shook his head vigorously, thought hard for a while, and hissed...... Could it be him...... Why is he here? What is he doing here? Could it be ...... What is the matter?

Zhu Ming was so frightened that cold sweat came out, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to change their clothes with a trembling voice, and then endured the extreme discomfort of his body, and asked the housekeeper to walk quickly to the gate to greet him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When I arrived at the gate, I saw a man wearing a second-class official uniform, a thin figure and a cold face standing there, and next to him stood a man holding a folding fan and wearing purple clothes. Behind him stood a tall guard dressed in black, with a sword in his arms, and a young man with a white face and beard. Not far away, a sedan chair and two rows of red-clothed guards were parked.

Zhu Ming met Wei Zheng's serious gaze, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly shook off the butler's hand and stepped forward and said, "I don't know that Lord Wei is coming, and the lower officials have lost their welcome, please forgive me." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said seriously: "Those who don't know are not guilty." After speaking, he took out the official certificate from his bosom and opened it to show him.

Zhu Ming saw that the official voucher was stamped with a big seal, and he was convinced, because he saw that Wei Zheng's tone was calm and his heart was certain, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Wei has worked hard all the way, please go to the mansion for tea." ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "No need. Come on, take him down. ”

Zhu Ming saw him laugh, and also laughed: "Lord Wei doesn't have to be polite. I don't know who made the adult angry, and the lower official taught him a lesson for you. He thought that his own servant had made this Lord Wei angry, but he didn't find anything unusual when he looked left and right, and then saw Wei Zheng and his party looking at him with idiotic eyes. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Then he saw two guards coming out and walking towards him, and it wasn't until his arm was twisted that he realized that the person this Lord Wei was going to take down was himself.

"Lord Wei, what does this mean? I don't know what crime the lower official has committed?" Zhu Ming struggled and shouted loudly. But he was panicked in his heart, he heard that this imperial historian was honest and honest, he couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and he liked to travel around, inspect the officials and officials, and many corrupt officials died in his hands. Could it be that he was so unlucky, could it be that Lin Xiaohan's crow mouth said that everything he did was known to him?

"Why, you'll find out later. Pressed him to the county office, and at the same time announced the whole county, and the case was tried openly at the county office today. After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he asked the purple-clothed man Huangfu Hao to go on the bridge, and he also followed the sedan chair, so the two guards opened the way in front, Wei Zheng's sedan chair was in the middle, followed by Zhang Hu and Xiao Zhuozi, and in the dark places that others could not see, there were dozens of secret guards to protect. Finally, there was Zhu Ming, who was pressed by two guards.

The march of the guards alarmed the people on the side of the road, and they hid on the side of the road, watching with horror in their eyes, and when the guards passed, their eyes were about to bulge when they saw Zhu Ming tied up behind them. When they were gone, there was a lot of talk about what had happened.

Boldly followed from a distance, and saw a group of people enter the county office, and then someone came out to post a notice, and a guard stood under the notice, and said loudly: "The county order Zhu Ming, corrupt the law, murder and murder, committed heinous crimes, was ordered to inspect the hundred officials of the imperial history to find out the crime, now ready to be interrogated in the county office, you can come to watch." ”

The onlookers were taken aback, talked about it, and even ran to tell each other, calling friends, and watching things they had never heard of in their lives. After a while, the news spread like wings with long legs. More and more people flocked to the county office. I really didn't expect that a few days ago, the county magistrate pronounced the sentence of Gao Renhe guilty of a capital crime here, but now it is his turn to become a prisoner.

The Lin family also got the news, Lin Lixia and Lin Xiaohan looked at each other, just a few days ago, the two of them didn't know how to deal with and prevent Zhu Ming with a heavy heart, after all, the people don't fight with officials. I didn't expect things to develop so dramatically, I fell asleep and ran into a pillow, I knew that I wouldn't ask Chu Zhao to go there a few days ago, so that now Chu Zhao didn't dare to look at her when he saw her, as if she was terrible.

The dark clouds fixed overhead dispersed, and Lin Xiaohan's mood was unprecedentedly good, so he was very curious about this Wei Zheng, and he also wanted to watch the fate of that hateful dog officer Zhu Ming.

However, Lin Lixia disagreed, when Gao Renhe was tried that day, his sister was not allowed to show up, and it was already discussed by everyone, he didn't want his sister to fall into gossip again and become a topic of conversation after dinner.

Lin Xiaohan knew Lin Lixia's love for her sister, but she was really curious, she wanted to see what the ancient second-grade officials were like, whether they were like the actors of "Detective Di Renjie" that they had seen on TV before, they were middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair, fat figures, and very serious. Therefore, she grabbed Lin Lixia's arm and shook it violently: "Brother, let me go, I promise to quietly not attract attention, I wear men's clothes, yes, men's clothes, and I put makeup on my face, so that people can't recognize me, if someone asks you, you can say it's your friend, okay, brother?"

Lin Lixia was dizzy by her shaking, and then listened to her soft voice begging, and his sister controlled him dizzy and accidentally agreed.

Xiao Han was very happy and immediately ran back to the room, while calling loudly to Lan Xin to help dress up.

When the spring equinox heard it, he also ran out, begging to go with him. One is also a belt, and two are also belts, Lin Lixia happily agreed, and he also wanted his younger brother to have more knowledge.

The spring equinox was very happy, so he wanted to find someone to share his joy, so he kindly called Chu Zhao, and wanted his dear master to watch the fate of that annoying Zhu Ming with him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Zhao heard that it was Zhu Ming who was interrogated, it was like swallowing a fly, and his face was very ugly. He shook his hand again and again, saying that he was not feeling well, so he would not go.

The spring equinox looked at him suspiciously, wondering why the master, who was fine just now, suddenly turned pale. But Chu Zhao didn't let him ask, only said that he needed to rest, and then waved him to leave quickly, and quickly closed the door.

The spring equinox was very worried about the master, and told the master outside the door to rest well, and then quickly went to tell his brother, Lin Lixia was also inexplicable when he heard it, thinking that Chu Zhao was really uncomfortable, and wanted to go over to take a look, Xiao Han on the side heard it and hurriedly stopped him with a smile: "Don't worry about him, he just has a little stomach upset, maybe he has eaten too much at noon, just let him rest." Let's go quickly, lest we get it, the case is over. ”

Lin Lixia and the spring equinox were convinced when they heard her say this, so the three brothers and sisters hurriedly went out, and in order to hurry, all three of them ran forward, but because there were people along the way, the three of them were not good at running too fast, so as not to attract everyone's strange eyes. I could only run unhurriedly, and when I arrived at the county office, I saw that the door was full of people. Because the people in front of them couldn't see it, some people simply moved chairs and tables to stand on them, and even there were many people climbing on the big tree next to the county office. It's really a crowd of onlookers.

Lin Lixia protected his younger brothers and sisters and squeezed forward, because the three of them had all learned martial arts, and their subordinates worked so hard that they quickly squeezed to the front, but they did not stand in a conspicuous place in the middle, but found a corner on the left.

I saw two people sitting in the hall, and in the middle was a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform, a thin face, and about forty years old. There was a purple-clothed man sitting on his left hand, looking graceful, and being able to sit with Wei Zheng was definitely no less than him. Lin Xiaohan also noticed that Wei Zheng occasionally looked at the man in purple with a very respectful expression.

Kneeling in the hall were Zhu Ming, Master Song, Li Zhutou and several officials, and there were four red-clothed guards standing on the left and right sides of the court.

At this point, the case was already halfway through. Zhu Ming and Master Song looked depressed, and it seemed that they had already been punished. I'm afraid that he was unwilling to confess, which angered Lord Wei.

Wei Zheng was showing the evidence he had found, and he was holding an account book in his hand, which was the one that Gao Renhe had left behind to threaten Zhu Ming, and it was originally hidden under the Gao Ning clan's ear room. It's just that when Master Song secretly went to look for it in the middle of the night, he didn't find it, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain to Zhu Ming when he came back, so he lied that he had burned the account book, so as not to have a long night's dreams. But I don't know how this account book ended up in Wei Zheng's hands.

In addition, there were a few pages of paper found from Master Song, which was secretly buried in a flower pot by Master Song just in case he was killed by Zhu Ming, but he didn't want to be turned out. As you can imagine, the dark guards are really pervasive and ubiquitous, and for them, there are no secrets at all.

Zhu Ming and Master Song had nothing to say. I had to honestly confess my crimes, so that I would not suffer any more flesh and skin.

In the end, Wei Zheng announced several major crimes against Zhu Ming: conspiring with Gao Renhe to kill Dong Mingzheng; violating the law knowing the law and killing Gao Renhe and Gao Ning's clan; colluding with Gao Renhe and officials and businessmen over the years, perverting the law for bribes, and preying on the common people, causing many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases; shielding Gao Renhe's crimes, and instructing his subordinates to burn the case files of previous years.

In the end, Wei Zheng sentenced: Zhu Ming committed many crimes, and he was sentenced to be executed. Master Song aided in the abuse and sentenced him to exile to the north for 3,000 miles. Li Zhutou and several other officials committed relatively minor crimes, and each of them was severely beaten with 50 boards and dismissed from the envoys.

These crimes made the onlookers jaw-dropping, but they didn't expect their parents to be such a corrupt official, a corrupt official, and a bad official who committed many crimes, and it turned out that they had been living in dire straits without knowing it. So they are extremely grateful to Lord Wei Yushi, if it weren't for Lord Wei patrolling here and discovering Zhu Ming's crimes, they would have been blinded, and they thought that Zhu Ming was the Lord of the Blue Sky and a good official.

Therefore, they knelt down and kowtowed one after another, thanking Lord Qingtian Wei and the emperor for his wisdom and sending such a good official to avenge the grievances of the people.

Wei Zheng peeked at Huangfu Hao, and saw that although his face was as usual, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and there was a smile in his eyes, so he knew that he was very satisfied. Then he motioned for him to go out together and took the lead in helping the kneeling people. Promise to send a competent prefectural magistrate as soon as possible, and then persuade them to leave.

As early as after Wei Zheng announced the verdict, before the crowd knelt down, Lin Xiaohan dragged his brother and younger brother away. Because after watching the excitement, all that remains is to kneel and be grateful, she doesn't want to kneel, so it's better to leave early.

But the three of them were still discovered by Zhang Hu, there was no way, these people were very interested in the eyes of the master, and he had to pay attention to them. He would never admit that he was actually interested in them as well.

******************

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Let's say that Gao Renhe and his wife died, the Gao family was confiscated, and the property was awarded to Dong Lixin, but the family suffered a fatal blow. This person is Gao Renhe's brother Gao Rengui.

Before his brother Gao Renhe was sued by Dong Lixin in court, Gao Ning's sent him news, but he happened to be out at that time, in fact, he bought a house in the countryside, which lived in his raised outer room and one of her daughters. So he came to see it two or three times a month. It also happened that day, it was the day he went to see the outer room, and every time he went, he only took a small servant with him, and no one told him. is afraid that the tigress at home will know, so even if the person who came to report the news is very anxious, the people in the house can't find him. At that time, his son Gao Yi was also the only male in the two families, but unfortunately Gao Yi was also panicked, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Seeing this, the subordinates knew that he couldn't expect it, so they hurriedly went back to report to Gao Ning's clan.

After Gao Rengui spent a wonderful night in the outer room and contacted his well-behaved daughter, he returned home satisfied, only to hear that such a big thing had happened to his own brother. The niece and brother were put in prison, and Gao Renyi felt that the sky was about to fall, and he was panicked. He has been looking forward to his brother since he was a child, and he has no opinions, and he has been pampered and pampered over the years, and he has been a master with peace of mind and enjoys Qingfu. But overnight, the Gao family building will collapse, what should he do?

Gao Rengui personally went to ask to see the county magistrate, but unfortunately he was turned away, because Zhu Minggang was placed by Gao Renhe at that time, and when he learned that he had his own handle in his hand, he was very angry, and naturally he didn't want to see him. He had no choice but to rush to his brother's house, and learned that Master Song had brought someone to check the study in the morning, as if he was looking for something important. He hurriedly asked his sister-in-law what Master Song was looking for, but Gao Ning was vague and only said that his brother had something in his hand to save his life. Only in the end, maybe the husband has to leave here incognito.

Gao Rengui listened to it and felt a little relieved, as long as he still had his life. Where there is life, there is hope. I believe that with my brother's ingenuity, he will definitely be able to make a comeback. As long as he stays here, keeps an eye on the Lin family and Dong Lixin, and kills them if he has the opportunity to avenge his brother. At this time, he didn't know that the Lin family had such a master as Chu Zhao, but he also heard that the Lin family had capable people to help, so his niece invited robbers and failed to kill them, but was given a fatal blow by them. Therefore, you must be careful in the future, don't do it if you are not completely sure, and even if you do, you must ensure that you get out of the way.

Gao Rengui's thoughts were very beautiful, but the reality was often cruel, and what happened next plunged him into great grief and panic.

He went home, made up a slightly plausible reason, sent the tigress away, and slept peacefully all night. The next day, I received bad news: my brother committed suicide and my sister-in-law was martyred.

Yesterday, his sister-in-law also told him that his brother would definitely be able to save his life if he left Zhu Ming's handle. Now that he is dead, is Zhu Ming not afraid of the handle in his brother's hand? Or has he already got the handle in his hand, so he killed his brother and sister-in-law. Yes, it must be!

What should I do? Will I be killed myself?

Run! Gao Rengui had such a thought in his mind. Yes, if you don't flee at this time, as long as you flee to other counties, Zhu Ming won't be able to find him.

As soon as he thought of it, he hurriedly called his wife and son and secretly told them his intentions. Let them hurry back and pack their things and leave at once in the night. And in order not to alarm others, only the three of them left, and the rest did not take any of them. Not even the old lady and daughter-in-law.

The wife and son were very flustered when they heard this, but they were reluctant to leave this familiar place and live in a strange place.

Gao Rengui scolded in a low voice: "You don't want to die, what are you afraid of, as long as you have money in your hands, you can't live anywhere." After a few years, the rumor has passed, Zhu Ming has also left, and we will come back. ”

When his wife and son saw that he was angry, they hurried back to pack their things.

But the plan is beautiful, but the reality is not so rosy. In the evening, two uninvited guests came to the house: Master Song and Li Zhutou.

Master Song stared at Gao Rengui's pale face and the burden on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Senior sophomore, where are you going with your luggage? Don't you go to help your brother and sister-in-law collect the body? It seems that the same is true of your brother! Your brother and sister-in-law are dead, but your own brother does not pay attention to them, not only does not collect their bodies and handle the funeral properly, but also wants to stay away. Are you worthy of them?"

If you don't run away, will you wait for death!" Gao Rengui muttered in his heart, but said with a sad look on his face: "Master Song, you misunderstood me. Where am I going to leave, but I heard about my brother and sister-in-law, and my heart was full of grief, and between the six gods and no owner, I thought about packing up the things at home and selling them, and some of them were used for funerals. And send something to my poor niece, so that she will be better off in prison and not suffer too much. That's the only thing my brother can do for his brother. After speaking, he lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Master Song knew that he was lying, but since he had already made an excuse, it was not appropriate to cause trouble right now, so as not to cause trouble to adults, so why not go down the slope and get off the donkey. So he nodded and said, "It's good that you have such a mind." By the way, from now on, for the safety of the people of the county and to prevent robbers from coming to the county again to commit crimes, martial law has been imposed at the city gate, and people who enter and exit must be strictly investigated, so as not to mix any ill-intentioned people, so you had better be careful when entering and exiting. ”

Gao Rengui's face turned pale, and the robber was talking about the ones invited by his niece. This was an excuse to warn him not to bother to escape, because Zhu Ming must have explained that they could not be let out at the city gate.

Master Song and Li Zhutou left, Gao Rengui sat on the chair in frustration, and his wife and son looked at him with blank eyes, not knowing what to do next.

"Who the hell leaked the news? If I find out, I will definitely pick his skin! Go and check, check it for me!" Gao Rengui shouted angrily. (To be continued.) )
