"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The snakeskin whip was struck, and he dipped it in the big wooden basin next to him, and the water in the basin had already become blood-red, and every time the whip went down, Zheng Xiaobu's forehead was bruised, although the pain was in his bones, he couldn't faint.

"Guogong!"

Xu Hu, Ren Juying, and Wang Yuxia looked at Xia Xun with tears in their eyes, and they couldn't say a word.

Xia Xun stood out for them like this today, "These few Jianghu men with clear grievances have been firmly remembered in their hearts.

Xia Xun turned around and said, "You all get up, the official will still enter the palace to see the driver, and when he comes back, he will talk to you again!" After he saddled and mounted his horse, he said, "Leave a few people and take care of them first." ”

Xia Xun whipped his horse and went straight to the palace, Xu Hu and a few of the guards of the Duke of Fuguo were still in place, "The executioners who had just tortured them took turns to fight, and when one person was tired, he changed to another" The Duke of Fuguo is so short-guarded, his subordinates are still watching from the side, these people don't dare to save effort. Xie Guangsheng's face was red and white for a while, but he was ashamed in his heart but didn't dare to stop it, so he had to go back to the house with his sleeves brushed up, and he couldn't see it.

Xia Xun got on the horse and galloped lightly for a while, and the autumn wind hit his face, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity. He now understands why General Li Guang, a generation of heroes, is angry about Captain Baling's refusal to prevent him from entering the city, "In the future, when the official is reinstated, the first thing is to kill Captain Baling."

People in the rivers and lakes "can't help themselves." The virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid. Sometimes, it is not necessarily that there is a murderous intent in the heart, but that you have to kill. Today's Gu, as a national prince, he has a mere eight-grade experience, "I feel that I have dropped my value, and his face is indeed gloomy, but he doesn't come out" Now no one can stand up for him.

Zheng experienced such a small person, "Just by using his mouth, he can make him die." But this is officialdom, let him die unexpectedly, there is no meaning" In the affairs of officialdom, you have to use the means of officialdom, fighting for power, fighting for power, fighting for power, fighting for scenery, and using spies at every turn, then you will fall inferior."

Marrying Xun secretly thought to himself: There are some things that are inconvenient for me to come forward, and it seems that it is necessary to train a few official figures to come out. However, "everything has advantages and disadvantages, Xia Xun doesn't know, through the people from the yamen of the five armies in front of the yamen of the governor's mansion to go back to Xuanxiang, the entire Ming officialdom knows that the special calf protector of the Auxiliary Guogong is unknown, and his people "can not be provoked easily."

Xia Xun rushed to the palace and carefully reported to Zhu Di the origin of the temple address Ci'en Temple, the surrounding environment, and the size of ......the square circle. Okay, you can start doing this right away." ”

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Xia Xun gave Zhu Di a deep bow and said goodbye. After Xia Xun opened for a while, Mu En came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate Haichun asks to see you." ”

Zhu Di said while playing and commenting: "Call him in!" ”

"The emperor, the emperor, the minister impeached Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince, Yang Xu did disorderly political affairs and disregarded people's lives" The emperor should be severely punished! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di paused, glanced up at him, dipped it in ink, and continued to review the folds" and asked lightly: "What did he do?" ”

Hai Chun said: "The minister passed by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and saw that Yang Xu, the Duke of the Auxiliary State, was crowded with people from various yamen in front of the door, and the minister stepped forward to take a look at the "original ......", Hai Chun said what happened again, "This person is upright, and he does not favor the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and what the guards of the Governor's Mansion said, he completely described it word for word to the emperor knew, Zhu Di dipped it in ink and dipped it in ink" and said with a light smile: "According to what you just said, the small officials of the Governor's Mansion rely on the power to manage the army to "bully the officials" The situation is true. Since Xu Hu and the others offended Shangguan and were whipped, what is wrong with this Zheng Xiaobu receiving the same punishment? ”

The imperial envoy said angrily: "Your Majesty, although Zheng Xiaobu should be punished, it should not be due to the coercion of the Auxiliary Guogong, and the behavior of the Auxiliary Guogong is not out of justice, but for his own selfishness" If all the members of the court are like this, relying on power to coerce others, what is the law and discipline of the imperial court? ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "Since there is nothing wrong with the matter, why ask him about his crimes?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zheng has experienced bullying foreign officials" Xie has been unfair in dealing with foreign officials, they still have bosses, the court and Ducha, no matter what, it is not the turn of the auxiliary prince to take care of it, he is buying foreign officials and cultivating his own forces, this kind of behavior is ......", Zhu Di interrupted his words and said lightly: "I only ask about the result, not the process." Step aside! ”

Haichun was stunned for a moment, and had to respond angrily: "Yes, minister, obey the order!" ”

Waiting for the envoy of Nahai to withdraw, Zhu Di stopped writing, was slightly distracted for a while, and muttered: "Yang Xu...... Have you started cultivating your own power......"

His eyes flashed with an indescribable look, and after a moment he called, "Someone! ”

Mu En appeared in response, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Di said: "Go to the Tai Hospital, get some good gold sore medicine, and give it to Shuangyuwei commander Xu Hu, deputy commander Ren Juying, and Wang Yuxia." ”

"Slave and maid command."

"Deliver the decree, demote Xie Guangsheng, the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as the commander of Lanzhou Wei, and take up his post immediately."

"Slave and maid command."

Mu En glanced at Zhu Di, saw him wave his hand, and retreated on tiptoe.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun didn't know anything about this, and after leaving the palace, he went to the Ministry of Industry. Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was listed as a traitor, and was originally imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, but Xia Xun confessed to his guilt when he went to the prison to persuade the officials to be reinstated, so he was very grateful to Xia Xun, and has been very close to Xia Xun since then.

As soon as he saw Xia Xun arrive, Zheng Ci hurriedly greeted Xia Xun in person, welcomed Xia Xun into the yamen, and served him as a guest.

The two sides sat down, a few words, Xia Xun explained to him the intention, Mo said that this is the emperor's meaning, "even if it is just Xia Xun's personal meaning, he has to cooperate as much as possible, and now he is full of promises" immediately called the Ministry of Industry Lang Huang Ligong "to ask him to be fully responsible for this matter, not only responsible for drafting the chapter to build a large Bao'en Temple, but also on behalf of the Ministry of Industry in the future to cooperate with the auxiliary Guogong to complete this matter."

When the two sides were talking happily, the flogging in front of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies had ended. Ninety lashes "Each whip has to pull away a piece of flesh and blood, ninety whips down, has already drawn Zheng Cheng's thin body into a blur of flesh and blood, and he can't see the human form, when he was untied, the rope was pulled out of the deep rotten flesh, with such a serious injury, I'm afraid it was difficult for him to survive, and he didn't die on the spot" still has a breath, and it is even more shocking to watch.

It was still the gloomy house, it was the same square table, and there was only one person sitting in front of it, and there was a man standing across from him.

The seated man asked, "Zheng Xiaobu was whipped?" ”

The man standing replied, "Yes" No one expected that Yang Xucha would pass by there, and he not only saved the three Shuangyu pirates, but also forced Xie Yishi to use the same punishment on Zheng Cheng.

The seated man took a slow breath and asked, "How is Zheng Xiaobu now?" ”

"I've been sent to the doctor, but ...... With his serious injuries, "I'm afraid ......"

The sitting man waved his hand slightly, and the standing person immediately retreated" The sitting man was silent for a moment, laughed lightly, and said to himself: "For the sake ......of the three pirates, I did not hesitate to offend the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and I did not hesitate to offend the Duke of Qi and Chengguo, and I also prepared a lot of back-up hands that were useless, I didn't expect that you would have already entered the palace, a group of pirates on Shuangyu Island, so heavy use of you?" Yang Xu, Yang Xu, you really don't understand me. After Xia Xun left the Ministry of Industry, he immediately returned to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Xu Hu and others were still there.

Although Xu Hu and the three of them did a major event that had never happened since the establishment of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as the commander of the first guard, they made a big fuss about the Governor's Mansion, which angered the Governor Xie Guangsheng, but after all, they were officials of the fourth and fifth grades, although Xie Guangsheng was extremely powerful, he was only one level higher than them in terms of rank and rank, "Punishment is punishment, but it can't really be beaten to the death, plus the three of them are burly and strong, and the injuries are not extremely serious."

That's why Xia Xun left them there with confidence and let them watch the execution, just to give them a chance to get angry. After all, these people have just been attached, and they were originally a group of arrogant and unruly pirates "Xia Xun is really worried that they will not be angry for a while, and they will rebel against the imperial court again, with Zhu Di's strong character, they can accept them once, and they will never accept it a second time, and capricious people will not be accepted by Zhu Di.

Now that the matter is over, he has to hurry to pick them up, give them medical advice, and calm their emotions. By the time he arrived, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, and there was blood stains on the bolted horse stakes in front of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Seeing that Zheng Cheng was beaten to the point of dying and being carried away, Ren Juying and Wang Yuxia's anger also disappeared by seven or eight points, and when they saw Xia Xun coming, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, Xia Xun held Xu Hu and said: "No courtesy, how are your injuries?" ”

Xu Hu said: "Don't worry, our little injury is nothing." ”

Xia Xun said to the guards, "Give up the three horses, and I will accompany ......."

As soon as he said this, someone behind him raised his voice and said: "The emperor has issued an edict to give Shuangyuwei commander Xu Hu, deputy commander Ren Juying, and Wang Yuxia gold sore medicine." ”

Xia Xun was stunned and turned around, "I saw Mu En leading two chamberlains" who were standing behind him with a smile, Mu En waved his hand, and the two chamberlains brought forward the high-grade gold sore medicine they were holding, Xia Xun reacted, and hurriedly said to Xu Hu: "Don't thank the emperor for his grace." Mu En hurriedly said: "If the three generals are injured, there is no need to kneel, and I hope that the three generals will take good care of themselves to serve the country." After speaking, he waved the dust, and said to Xia Xun: "Guogong, the emperor has made a decree, and Xie Guangsheng, the governor of the capital, is the commander of Lanzhou Wei, "Our family still has to go to the governor's mansion of the five armies to announce the decree", so I didn't stay much and left. ”

Xia Xun arched his hand in a daze: "Father-in-law go slowly!" Looking at Mu En's sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies with a puzzled face, Xia Xun turned around and saw that Xu Hu, Ren Juying, and Wang Yuxia had already knelt on the ground in unison. ”

Different people need different ways to fight, like this kind of big thief who has been in the East China Sea since childhood, common interests or common aspirations, they can't take it all in, they care more about their will! People fight for one. Qi, the Buddha fights for a pillar of incense! Xia Xun fought for both face and lining, and in their hearts, from this moment on, he was the boss who was the boss.

"It's serious, it's serious, get up, get up!" , Xia Xun hurriedly picked them up, and was puzzled in his heart: "Why did the emperor know so quickly?" It is also to give medicine, and it is to punish Xie Yanshi, with the emperor's tough character, to a small Shuangyu Island, can you use such a show of grace, what does the emperor mean? ”！ ~！
