Chapter 31 Settle accounts after the autumn
Wuguo sat in the public court, followed by General Xu, the concubine of the Qi family, the eldest uncle, and the public judge in the palace.
She looked at the audience, and the refugees had already followed into the city, and after they were settled, they came to the court to complain collectively.
The county magistrate knelt down and shook his head, looking terrified.
"Your Highness, the little woman's husband was beaten to death by this black-hearted county commander at the beginning of the drought because he was unwilling to leave, and two young children also starved to death on the road. The peasant woman hereby begged His Highness for punishment. ”
Wuguo waved his hand and motioned for the next one to come up and complain, but he was not annoyed or very good, so he sat down, his expression was more serious than ever.
It wasn't until the last person finished speaking that Wuguo sneered, and woke up and patted the wood, which made the audience panic.
"Cui Yuanbai, the county commander of Fu County, has been cholera Fu Zhou for many years, embezzled public funds, killed innocent people indiscriminately, set up a private torture hall, and allowed his son to rob his mother and daughter and persecute the people. Since the drought in Fuzhou, it has even concealed it and expelled the people from the county. What sin do you say this palace should punish you! ”
At the end, Wuguo Xingmu slapped again, so that the county order couldn't help but look up at her in horror: "It's not me, Your Highness, it's not me, I don't know anything!" ”
Wuguo frowned, becoming more and more dissatisfied with the other party's death and refusal to admit it, and immediately ordered him to be seized of his authority and taken into custody.
Who knew that when the originally crazy county magistrate heard this sentence again, he raised his head and looked straight at her with bright eyes, with unprecedented calmness in his eyes: "This official has forgotten, although this official is a six-grade, but he is also a real court official, unless the emperor decrees, who is qualified to remove this official!" ”
After finishing speaking, he broke free from the person behind him and walked to the table step by step: "Wan Qian Wuguo, to put it bluntly, you are a guy who relies on men, if you don't have so many people around you that day, you can kill the state order!" You can catch this official! The official ......"
Before he finished speaking, the dagger in Wuguo's hand sank into his body, and the slender hand held the other end of the dagger with indifferent eyes as if nothing had happened.
She said: "Even if the palace is a man, what if the palace is a princess, the royal prince system, the appointment of this disaster relief, the official residence is three products." You dare to call yourself an official in front of this palace? ”
Saying that, the dagger in his hand went a little further: "Committing such a heinous mistake and refusing to admit his guilt, the following crimes are in vain attempts to evade punishment." This palace tells you that the dagger in the hand of this palace is a gift from the emperor, which can behead hundreds of officials, and has the right to cut first and then play! ”
With fierceness in his eyes, he looked at the county order little by little, and his eyes became more and more sloppy, and finally there was more regret in that eye, in addition to horror.
Wuguo took back the dagger and ordered General Xu to arrange the mansion by General Xu.
The matter of Fu Zhou has been reported to the capital, and in a few days, there will be a Qin messenger to take over Fu County, and the rest of the matter is not something she is in charge of.
Wuguo threw away the emperor's order, and then turned around and walked down.
In the courtyard, Wuguo, who was out of grace, hugged a tree and began to vomit, and the scene before Cui County's death kept flashing in front of her eyes, especially the sight, which made her stomach churn.
The eldest uncle handed over a sour jujube and stood not far away and looked coldly ahead.
It took a long time for her to recover, but her lips were still pale.
The eldest uncle handed over the last order and asked, "Why did you kill him?" ”
Wuguo took the order, and at the same time took the sour dates, with a sneer on his lips: "What? Why did you kill the state order? ”
As soon as the words were finished, both of them were silent.
She looked at the luxurious mansion in front of her, and she didn't feel in a trance in her heart, she was also a county order, why was Cui Yuanbai so different from the Chitai county order.
The eldest uncle lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said, "There is an abnormality in the Qi family's army. ”
As soon as he said this, Wuguo immediately retracted his gaze and looked at the eldest uncle, only to hear him continue: "When I went over with the warrant, I found that several subordinates in the high-level who were arranged by Emperor Nanhuang were kicked out, and I inquired privately to find out that they were all uprooted by Qi Yuan, the concubine of the Qi family. ”
"So the current Qi family army is the Qi family's private soldiers in the true sense."
The eldest uncle nodded: "I think it's more than that. ”
"The five thousand elite soldiers in Fuzhou are too?" Wuguo looked at the eldest uncle in shock, and it took a long time before he lowered his head and frowned: "What does this have to do with you wanting to kill the state order?" ”
The eldest uncle smiled, walked up to Wuguo, raised his hand and shook the golden step on her head, and said unhurriedly: "Has Your Highness ever thought about what the state order knows?" ”
Wuguo knew that since he wanted to control the five thousand elite soldiers in Fuzhou, it was impossible to secretly communicate without the state order, so the secret of that state order was very big.
Now that the Qi family is sitting big, there are still ancient families above the court who can still fight with it, and outside the court, especially in the north, the Qi family is a soil emperor. Killing him is just helping people lock the secret in his mouth, for fear of startling the snake and forcing the opposition to say, and it is one thing for fear that they will die in the north.
Wuguo chuckled: "I'm afraid that Old General Xu doesn't have the loyalty that his father thinks." ”
"The emperor of the sky is far away, and when the emperor of the soil is used to it, he naturally does not want to be a courtier, although he also made a move to kill the state order at that time, but it is obviously at odds with the Qi family. The two sons of the Xu family are all from the emperor's master, and they have more than 20,000 elite soldiers guarding the capital. ”
Wuguo looked at the eldest uncle, she knew that he was talking about military power.
As early as above the court, she found that the county commander looked at General Xu several times, and General Xu's indifferent gaze clearly regarded him as an outcast.
On the way here, she also heard General Xu ordering people to be assassinated in prison.
Since sooner or later you are going to die, why not die in front of the public to vent your anger.
Thinking of this, Wuguo hooked his lips and sneered, his eyes full of cold mockery.
Suddenly, the eldest uncle raised his hand to cover her eyes, and after a long time, Wuguo felt a moist and hot touch on his lips. Wuguo suddenly "banged", and his whole body turned red.
Unlike that day, this time it was the eldest uncle who took the initiative, which made her a little ...... for a while Flattered.
The eldest uncle lowered his head and outlined her lip line, and the original hooked appearance of the corners of his mouth was not as swollen and swollen as he was.
He lifted her chin and looked at her with a deep gaze in her eyes with inexplicable affection.
He said, "Next time, you'd better not let me see you so cold." ”
The darkness in his eyes was turbulent, and he locked her gaze like that, and he didn't let go until she nodded his head.
The distance between the two sides was stretched, and Wuguo reacted in a trance to breathe, and his eyes were all sluggish.
