Chapter 354: Punishment (Four Watches)

Li Ye's words can be said to be something in his words, especially the last words, aren't they talking about those who stood up to support Li Zhen and Zhang Chengye in the previous fifteen years?

Some people watched the excitement, and they also went to see those colleagues, and sure enough, they all had bitter faces, obviously knowing what stupid things they had done before.

When you jumped so fast, did you ever think that there would be today?

As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, under the gaze of the courtiers, Li Zhen came to the center of the hall from the queue in front of him, and after saluting Li Ye, he took out the fold in his arms.

Compared with those courtiers who were all looking forward to and nervous, Li Zhen's face was very calm.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Fortunately, Wei Chen and Zhang Gonggong, the salt envoy, commanded a group of Jinyi guards, salt pond guards and troops loyal to the imperial court, and finally put down the rebellion with the cooperation of the forbidden army. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Wang He, the county commander of Xie County, chose to join the illegal salt merchants not long after taking office. When Jinyiwei investigated the case of illegal salt, he refused to cooperate, and set up a banquet to bribe Yang Hao, the general of Jiezhou Town, but failed. There is also Pei Yuan, the county commander of Anyi County... ”

The county magistrate of Xie County and the county magistrate of Anyi County have both recently taken office, so they are in the same stream, and the ministers and the ministers who recommended these two people at that time are probably also responsible, but they don't know whether they are implicated.

Moreover, Pei Yuan is still a member of the Pei clan, although it was not recommended by Pei Rong and Pei Zhen at the beginning, but thinking that Pei Zhen was ordered to preside over the trial, everyone was a little curious about how Pei Zhen would try it.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Wang Ke, the envoy of the river festival, in order to resist the imperial court, privately raised private soldiers, and used his power to facilitate the smuggling of smuggled salt, and now he has apologized for his crimes. According to the confessions of the relevant suspects, in addition to Hezhong, many officials of the DPRK and China are also involved。。。。。 ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Jin Yiwei was ordered to arrest the relevant suspects, seal all the property of the relevant suspects, and recover a large amount of private salt, waiting for His Majesty's holy judgment. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ After Wang Ke killed himself, Zhao Xiong, the general of the Right Yulin Army, and Li Maozhen, the general of the Left Shence Army, have been ordered to take over the city of Hezhong and exterminate the army under Wang Ke. ”

Li Zhen said a lot, but as soon as he finished speaking, many ministers in the hall knelt directly on the ground, yes, kneeling.

Datang does not kneel, even if it is an army, at most it kneels on one knee, but these ministers directly hit the ground on both knees, and they are constantly trembling.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

"The minister is guilty!"

In a company, more than a dozen courtiers knelt on the ground, including Zhang Jun, the servant of the ministry, Liu Chonglu of the water department, and Cui Zhaowei of the ministry.

Fortunately, the third-grade and above officials in the court were not involved, and the highest position was only Zhang Jun, the servant of the ministry.

But it's hard to say in the river!

The river festival made Wang Ke commit suicide, so I won't talk about it.

However, the county orders of Anyi and Xie counties were both involved in the case, but the Hezhong observer did not notice it in the slightest, and either they were involved in the case or they were derelict in their duties.

Let's not talk about the river side for the time being, but the scene in front of me shocked the visitors.

"Didn't you dance happily before? Why are they all standing up and confessing their sins now? ”

The sarcasm in Li Ye's words was heard by everyone, but these kneeling courtiers didn't dare to refute, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with these people? After all, their charges are uncertain. Li Zhirou, the secretary of Dali Temple, stood up and said in a loud voice.

"What does King Xue think?" Li Ye said lightly.

Li Zhirou was not worried that he would be suspected, it was originally a matter of Dali Temple to deal with these high-ranking officials, but this time he was robbed of power by Li Ye and handed over to the Criminal Department for trial.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these people can be temporarily suspended and rested, cooperate with the investigation of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Yushitai and Jinyiwei, and wait for the charges to be determined before they are dealt with." Li Zhirou suggested.

"Just according to King Xue's words." Li Ye thought about it and did not refuse.

The other party is right, there is no conviction, and it is not easy to be imprisoned.

Although these people are involved, the crimes are different in size, I am afraid that some people have been pitted, and they don't know that they are involved in illegal salt, of course, there is also a rebellion now.

Although they were not imprisoned, these officials who pleaded guilty were like examiners, involved in smuggling and rebellion, how good could the results be?

What's the use of regretting at this time? It's all late.

After these people were taken back to their respective mansions by Jinyiwei one after another, Pei Rong stood up, and Li Ye directly waved his hand to stop him.

"Pei Aiqing, I asked Jinyiwei to check Pei Rui's situation, he did something illegal in your name. Although this matter is not directly related to you, but you do have the sin of ignorance, so let's punish you for three months, and then go home and think about it. No, two days! ”

Three months? Facing the wall for two days?

The other ministers muttered in their hearts, is this a punishment?

Three months of lulu, for Pei Rong, a second-class member, it is simply a drizzle.

As for facing the wall and thinking about it for two days...

Well, Your Majesty, even if you are eccentric, you have to cover it up.

But no one is going to catch it because of this.

。。。。。。

After Pei Rong returned home, he didn't do anything else, but sat in the front hall, and then asked his subordinates to make a pot of tea, as if he was waiting for someone.

In front of him, Pei Rui and his wife and daughter were standing there cautiously, while Pei Rong's family members were standing on both sides, although they had the heart to speak, but when they saw Pei Rong's face, if they wanted to spit it out, they could only forcibly swallow it back.

At this moment, the housekeeper walked closer, saluted Pei Rong slightly, and said, "Master, someone from the Criminal Department is here, waiting outside the mansion." ”

Criminal Department?

Pei Rui looked at Pei Rong anxiously, only to see the other party look up and order, "Let them in." ”

entered the privy envoy's palace to arrest people, although he was ordered by the saint, but Pei Rong did not lose his position, and the people in the criminal department would break in directly if they were stupid.

Poof!

"Brother Rong, help me. I was also blinded by lard at the beginning, so I did those stupid things, I know it's wrong, Brother Rong save me. ”

Seeing Pei Rui's face and hearing that someone from the Criminal Department was coming, Pei Rui was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, and then crawled in front of Pei Rong like this, and said with a crying voice.

"Brother Rong, Lang Jun is also confused for a while, he knows that he is wrong, beg Brother Rong not to let the people from the Criminal Department take Lang Jun away!"

"Uncle, my father also went the wrong way for a while...

For a while, Pei Rui's wife and daughter also knelt on the ground, begging Pei Rong to see how miserable it was.

Pei Rong's wife and daughter next to him were a little unbearable, but Pei Rong directly raised his hand to stop them.

At this time, the people from the Criminal Department came to the front hall, and surprisingly, it was Pei Zhen who came in person, and when he saw Pei Rui kneeling on the ground, Pei Zhen couldn't help but shake his head.

Although they are of the same clan, but such scum is simply a shame for Wenxi Pei's family. And there is more than one such person, that Pei Yuan is also from the Pei family, and he is in the same room with him.

But so what?

Shield? Light sentence?

With so many people staring, Pei Zhen would not use his official hat to save an uncompetitive clansman, people are selfish, and at this time they can only kill their relatives with righteousness.

The reason why Pei Zhen came in person was because he saw Pei Rong's face, after all, he was afraid that his subordinates would offend Pei Rong, and he was of the same clan, so he came in person.

"Privy Envoy!"

Pei Zhen saluted slightly.

"Take it away!" Pei Rong closed his eyes and said.

Pei Zhen gestured to the people behind him, and then there were two burly catchers, who walked directly towards the outside of the mansion with Pei Rui.

"Brother Rong, save me, I know it's wrong!"

"Pei Rong, you are so ruthless. For the sake of your official hat, if you abandon your family, you will not end well! ”

Hearing Pei Rui's vicious words, Pei Rong's face was blue for a while, and purple for a while.

Pei Zhen shook his head, and then said to Pei Rong, "Privy envoy, Pei Rui is not guilty of death. It stands to reason that there are two ways, one is to serve the disaster of prison, but it is a little long, and I am afraid he will not be able to hold on; There is also exile.

Exile can reduce the crime, although it will be far away from Chang'an, but it can end the prison as soon as possible, which may be a better outcome for him. ”

Pei Rong nodded, he was also in favor of exile, although he was far away from Chang'an, but it was a good thing for him and Pei Rui. After all, with Pei Rui's crime, if he serves prison and comes out old, can he still live this year?

Exile is different. Just settle in another place, but the place to settle will be a little hard, and while serving a sentence, you can't leave the penal colony.

"What's a good penal colony?" Pei Rong asked.

"Qianzhou, Annan or Lingnan and other places, but those places are full of miasma, if Pei Rui goes, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt to it. I suggested that he go to Lanzhou, which is also far away from Chang'an, but the environment is better. ”

Pei Rong nodded and saluted Pei Zhen.

"Thank you."

After Pei Zhen left, Pei Rong looked at Pei Rui's family who had already stood up, and said in a low voice, "Pack up your things, and when Pei Rui's charges come down, let's go to Lanzhou together." In the future, your heirs can come back, don't come back, and settle down in Lanzhou! ”

After speaking, Pei Rong walked straight towards the inner house, but everyone could hear the helplessness in the other party's tone!

With such a cousin who doesn't know how to measure, what can he do?

If you take this opportunity to let the Wenxi Pei family leave a bloodline in Hexi, it can be regarded as a contribution to the Pei family's branches.

Jin Yiwei can find Pei Rui, and naturally he can find Zhu Yourang.

However, Zhu Yourang is a little special, he is Zhu Wen's righteous son, and he can't be moved easily.

But since this matter involves Zhu Yourang, the court can't ignore it, so where is the majesty of the court?

However, for Zhu Yourang, Li Zhen is very interested. So when the Criminal Department began to try the case of illicit salt one after another, Li Zhen took people to Zhu Yourang's house.

I want to talk about "Rebirth of Tang Zhongxing" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
