Chapter 213: Thirty Rods
"Zhang Aiqing, I expected a lot from you, but I didn't expect you to act like this, which really disappointed me!"
Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Heng, his face was expressionless, and his tone was very cold.
"Your Majesty, the minister is really more wronged than Dou E! These letters were never written by us. ”
Zhang Heng is also shouting loudly now, this feudal society is so hasty in handling things, there is no need to investigate.
"Your Majesty, it is debatable whether these letters were written by them! Your Majesty, please be clear. ”
Cai Jing also stood up, he couldn't speak before, and now he can only try his best to excuse Zhang Heng.
Zhao Gou pondered for a while, and then said to an old man below: "Lord Yan, you have studied calligraphy quite deeply, you can see if it is their handwriting." ”
"Obey the Order"
Yan Lin nodded, and then asked people to give pen and paper to Zhang Heng and the two of them, and asked them to write a paragraph.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this time, he didn't pay attention to it just now, but now that he thinks about it, those letters just now seem to be his notes, it seems that this Xu Da has been prepared!
But now he can't help but write, and he can only write hard.
After a while, Yan Lin also picked up the words written by Zhang Heng and Qin Fangxiang and observed them carefully.
Zhao Gou opened his mouth and asked: "Yan Aiqing, what is the result?" ”
Yan Lin bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the handwriting of the two letters is the same, and it was indeed written by the two of them. ”
"Impossible, impossible!"
At this time, Qin Fangxiang was also a little stunned, not knowing how this could happen.
Zhao Yong, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, and a smug smile appeared on his face, he paid a high price to make people imitate their handwriting to write these letters, and now Zhang Heng is in a catastrophe.
After Zhao Gou heard this result, he was also very angry, looked at Zhang Heng and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Heng, you made such a mistake, although I cherish your talents, I can't tolerate you." ”
Zhang Heng also knew at this time that the big thing was not good, the emperor was angry, but he didn't end well, he didn't know whether to behead and exile, or go to prison and be punished.
At this moment, Qin Fangxiang said loudly: "Your Majesty, the woman is really wronged, although I don't know where these letters come from, but the woman has really suffered a great grievance, and today the woman will die on top of this hall." ”
With that, she stood up and slammed into the nearby pillar.
Seeing this, the people in the hall couldn't help but be surprised, and the people who reacted also wanted to stop Qin Fangxiang.
However, Qin Fangxiang's speed was also very fast, and she hit the pillar headlong, and immediately blood flowed out, and she also fell to the ground.
Immediately after that, everyone in the main hall was also messed up, and they glanced at a headless fly.
At this time, Cai Jing stood up and said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, the Xu family is so chaste, maybe there is something hidden in this matter, please Your Majesty will investigate it carefully and thoroughly." ”
Zhao Gou also felt reasonable, this Xu family is so chaste, with a clear will to die, maybe there is really something hidden in it.
"Your Majesty, now that there are human and material evidence, if you don't punish it severely, where the law of the Great Song Dynasty is, it will inevitably cause a shock among the people, please Your Majesty severely punish Zhang Heng according to the law, and correct the atmosphere."
Xu Da also knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Please Your Majesty severely punish Zhang Heng"
Zhao Yong and the others also knelt down and echoed.
Seeing this, Zhao Gou also felt a little difficult to deal with, if he didn't deal with Zhang Heng, then I am afraid it would be difficult to calm the anger of the public.
After pondering for a while, he also said to everyone: "Xu's steadfastness is like this, and he will die clearly, presumably there may be hidden secrets in it, but this kind of atmosphere cannot be promoted, and it will inevitably affect the people's feelings. ”
Hearing this, Cai Jing's hanging heart couldn't help but let go, although Zhang Heng suffered a little bit of flesh and skin, but there was still room for turnover.
Zhang Heng also honestly followed the guards and walked outside, thinking that it was better to be punished with these thirty sticks for a chance to turn the tables than to be exiled by killing his head.
When he got outside, the guards also brought him a bench and asked him to lie on his stomach.
Zhang Heng looked at a guard and asked, "Big brother, you won't really fight!"
The guard didn't answer, but picked up the stick and hit it directly.
Yes~
The next moment, Zhang Heng let out a heart-rending scream, feeling a hot pain in his buttocks, as if his bones were about to crack.
Zhao Yong listened to the screams coming from Zhang Heng outside, not to mention how happy he was, he was the happiest today during this time, as for His Majesty wanting to try this matter again, Qin Fangxiang's personal maid had been removed, and it was absolutely impossible to overturn the case now.
After Zhang Heng was beaten with thirty strokes, he felt that the bones in his whole body were falling apart, and then he was dragged to the cell by the guards and locked up.
Huang Si was the head of the cell, responsible for managing all the prisoners in the prison, looking at Zhang Heng lying on the ground, his eyes were about to shine.
At this time, a jailer walked over next to him and said with a smile: "Big brother, you Zhang Heng is known as the God of Wealth, this time we can squeeze a lot of money out of him." ”
"Of course, I'll get the guy ready later, I'm going to greet him well."
Huang Si was also excited, looking at Zhang Heng as if he was looking at a pile of money.
At this moment, a person walked in and shouted, "Who is the person in charge here?" ”
Huang Si hurriedly greeted him and said, "I'm the head of the cell, I don't know if you are?" ”
The man said arrogantly: "I am the person of the Nine Princes, and our Lord has ordered Zhang Heng to suffer a little in the cell." ”
Huang Si is also a sensible person, and immediately bowed and said: "The Nine Princes have orders, and their subordinates will definitely follow them, please rest assured." ”
The man came over again and whispered to him: "If Zhang Heng can be allowed to die violently in the cell, then the Nine Princes will be grateful." ”
As soon as he heard this, Huang Si's eyes were about to glow, it would be easy to kill someone in the cell, and when the time came, he would squeeze Zhang Heng dry first, and then kill him Zhao Jiu and the prince would receive the reward.
After sending this person away, when Huang Si just wanted to interrogate Zhang Heng, another person walked in, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with extraordinary momentum, he also greeted him and said, "My lord, are you?" ”
"I am a person from Xiangye's house, Xiangye asked me to bring you a word, let you take care of Zhang Heng Zhang, if he has a little difference, you can't afford it."
This man also threw out these words with a serious expression.
"Don't dare, don't dare"
Huang Si also hurriedly saluted, and he couldn't help but feel worried, even the prime minister intervened, this is not easy to do, and the slightest mistake will be in danger.
