"Lord Hu was killed for Ma Shun?" Zhang Ning said.

Hu Tong paused, paused, and then continued to pick up his robe and run. The matter was important, and he didn't have time to think about how Zhang Ning knew, and he didn't have time to stop and gossip with Zhang Ning. Now it is necessary to show the emperor and ask the emperor to deal with this matter in a word.

The civil servants have become like beasts, and it is terrible. Hu Tong shuddered at the thought of rolling up his sleeves with his hair scattered, and looked at him like the civil officials who were about to tear him apart, and he must stop it as soon as possible.

Zhang Ning watched Hu Tong leave quickly, and muttered to himself: "So urgent? It seems so. ”

Fortunately, Jia Xiaosi came over soon and said, "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty called you over." ”

In the Zhaoren Palace, Cao Jixiang seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and described the scene that happened in the Dharma field with his voice and color, and Zhu Qizhen's face was pale when he heard it, and he was silent for a long time. The civil officials beat Ma Shun to death, will they rush into the palace next and find trouble for me?

Hu Tong saluted and began to tell the scene of the lawfield, Zhu Qizhen listened to it a second time, and his face turned a little paler, but fortunately, Zhang Ning arrived and listened to the tail.

Ma Shun was really beaten to death by the civil officials in the court. Zhang Ning looked unexpected, and after Hu Tong finished speaking, he said, "Your Majesty, please acquit all the adults who beat people." ”

Zhu Qizhen and Hu Tong were stunned at the same time, and looked over together. Zhang Ning said: "What Ma Shun did before aroused public indignation, and today he is the first to do it, you adults have no choice but to fight back, there are too many people, the scene is too chaotic, and Ma Shun was not beaten to death lightly, which is understandable." ”

Hu Tong said: "How can you be innocent of killing someone on the spot?" ”

You don't know how scary the scene is, and if you have to experience it yourself, you won't say that.

Zhang Ning said: "Lord Hu, your emotions are on the verge of getting out of control, and you can only focus on appeasement, if you punish them, I am afraid that the scene will be completely out of control." ”

You listen to me right, on the original historical track, eight years later, Ma Shun was killed, and Yu Qian did just that. Even if the situation is slightly different, it is not far off. Zhang Ning was anxious to see the emperor, just for this matter.

"The scene is out of control, if it weren't for the large number of servants, they would have beaten the old man to death. They have lost their minds and become unreasonable. Hu Tong just shook his head, thinking that these people should not be released, at least they should be locked up, and they should be released after they are calm.

Zhang Ning said: "As long as Your Majesty sends someone to appease, make it clear that the past is not to blame, and then investigate Ma Shun's crimes, they will definitely calm down." They are His Majesty's courtiers, not rebellious ministers and thieves. ”

"It's not appropriate. They have lost their minds. ”

Listening to the argument between the old man and the young man in front of him, Zhu Qizhen's brows gradually relaxed, and his face returned to normal, and said: "Zhang Qing is reasonable, so Zhang Qing will go to announce the edict on my behalf." ”

Wow, since you said that appeasement is useful, then send you. If it weren't for the driving, Hu Tong would have slapped his thigh, only to feel that the emperor was so wise.

"Edict." Zhang Ning said. Even if you don't let me go, I still have to grab this task, favors, of course, I have to sell it in person to be valuable.

Hu Tong kindly reminded: "Master Zhang has been used to fighting since he was a child, and his skills are good, but there are many of them, so you should bring more people to be safe." ”

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Transfer more captains to bring them." ”

It couldn't be more suitable for a captain with a brocade guard.

Zhang Ning will not joke with his life, although he thinks that after the civil officials have vented, they will calm down, and when the edict arrives, they can only be grateful, but everything is in case, so he agreed very happily.

With a team of captains, they came to the entrance of the vegetable market, and the people quickly got out of the way and let the group in, and at the same time they were afraid of being seen by the Jinyi guards, if they didn't like themselves, who knew what would happen.

Qin Er was still executing, and as soon as he went down, he cut off a thin piece of flesh three inches long and two inches wide, with blood on the flesh. The person who wanted to buy took out five copper plates and threw them at Wang Zhen's feet, then took the piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

The civil servants who were guarded were restless; I gradually calmed down, and I regretted what I had just done. As time passed, the unease gradually permeated, and they thought the same thing in their minds: "What if the emperor pursues it?" Since ancient times, killing people paid for their lives, but they beat Ma Shun to death in full view of everyone. ”

Some young officials gradually became depressed, and after ten years of hard study, they stepped into the official career, and their ambitions were not rewarded, but they had to pay the price for their impulses.

Someone asked the guards for a pen and paper. When the official asked what to do, the young official said, "Write a farewell letter to your new wife." ”

"yes, get us pen and paper." Several humane.

There are also people with white hair who laugh and say: "The old man has lived for decades longer than you, and he died unjustly." ”

One sentence attracted countless white eyes, just now you fought the fiercest, and you are embarrassed to show off?

The official took pen and paper, brought tables and chairs, and when these people took turns to write suicide notes according to their official positions, Zhang Ning came with the captain.

Zhang Ning waved his hand to let the official stand away, and said with a full heart: "The edict has arrived." ”

There is an edict! Some people showed sadness, some people lost their souls, and some people actually sat down on the ground.

Zhang Ning said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please accept the edict. ”

"But to punish our sins? We admit it. Someone shouted.

"Yes, we do." Anyway, it can't be denied, it's better to be above board, many officials have said.

Zhang Ning smiled: "Are you willing to confess your guilt?" ”

"Zhang Ning, don't talk nonsense, go back to the palace and report to Your Majesty." There is humanity, and he looks like he is being killed.

Zhang Ning shouted: "Don't hurry up and take the edict." ”

"If you receive the edict, you will receive the edict." Someone muttered and bowed.

That's pretty much it. Zhang Ning unfolded a piece of bright yellow paper and read: "I know that you have persecuted Ma Shun, and now you have beaten him to death in anger, I will not pursue it, and if there are any more evil deeds in the future, I will be severely punished." ”

said that it was an edict, but in fact it was just a note written by Zhu Qizhen, although the real edict did not have to go through the Zhongshu door, it also had to go through the procedure, how could it be so fast? For the sake of effect, everything is subject to power, as long as it is the emperor's will, no one will care about this detail.

"Not to be pursued?" Many civil servants muttered to themselves as if in a dream, unable to believe it. The official with white hair from before said loudly: "Lord Zhang, won't Your Majesty hold us accountable for what we have done?" ”

Zhang Ning said awe-inspiringly: "This official pleads for you, only this once, and there is no other time." You guys do it for yourselves. ”

"Lord Zhang intercedes for us?" The civil officials were deeply shocked, we are scholars, you are the son of a nobleman, and we have no friendship, why are you so righteous?

"It is the official who intercedes for you, and Your Majesty loves you and waits for your talents, so he pardons. I won't be spared next time. ”

"Oh, thank you, Lord Zhang." The civil officials, regardless of their official positions, saluted in unison.

Zhang Ning accepted their salute and said, "Come into the palace and thank you." ”
