No matter how everyone present guessed, it couldn't change the situation that the entire Dongyue Temple was completely surrounded by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, not to mention that there were Jinyi guards in flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives in the crowd, and everyone knelt honestly - because the emperor was present, the embroidered spring knife in Jinyiwei's hand was out of the sheath!

When Chongzhen walked to the front of Dongyue Temple and ordered the Jinyi guard to bring those little beggars over, everyone present probably guessed what Chongzhen wanted to do.

In the crowd, the man called the eldest brother was already pale, and he muttered: "Woe, woe!" ”

The person who shouted to him next to him, although he looked lean and clever, did not react at all, and asked without knowing death: "Big brother, what is the trouble?" Although the surname Zhang is also in the capital, we don't have to be afraid of him. ”

The person called the eldest brother snorted quietly and said, "What is the surname Zhang?" How could I, Wu Zhen, be afraid of him? Then he said dejectedly: "Now, it is better to fall into the hands of the surnamed Zhang." ”

I don't know what I remembered, but I said to the thin man next to me: "Xu Liuzi, my Wu Zhen didn't lose you, right?" ”

When Xu Liuzi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Where did Brother Wu come from, my brother eats and drinks spicy food, doesn't it all depend on your Brother Wu?" ”

Na Wu Zhen continued: "Sixth son, in this situation, my brother can only hope for you. You only pretend to be watching the show, and my brother will bear the blame alone. In the future, your sister-in-law will entrust them to you. ”

Only then did Xu Liuzi react and asked, "Big brother, is this incident coming at us today?" ”

Wu Zhen nodded lightly and said, "Most likely." If you can hide it for a while, you will go back to your hometown immediately, and after your sister-in-law and they are distributed, you will go to take care of one or two. My brother is going to die today. ”

Xu Liuzi quit and said softly: "Who is my sixth son, eldest brother?" This time, the younger brother took care of it, and the family had to thank the eldest brother for taking care of it. The brother is stupid and not as flexible as the eldest brother, and it is more important for the eldest brother to survive. ”

Wu Zhen smiled bitterly and spoke: "Brother, brother is afraid that you will not be able to withstand the punishment, and none of us brothers will be able to run away at that time." What's more, today may not be able to hide the past. ”

Because the people around were whispering, the two whispered to each other, but it didn't seem abrupt.

Chongzhen pointed to one of the older children, who was about seven or eight years old, and asked softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you come to tell me, who brought you here?" ”

Seeing that the child did not speak, he asked again, but the child only shook his head, but did not answer.

The brocade guard next to him was annoyed, and shouted: "Your Majesty asks, why don't you answer quickly?!" ”

Chongzhen glared at the guard, and shouted softly: "Get out of the way, don't talk much." ”

Then he said to the boy, "You see, these people are afraid of me." I'm the best. Tell me, who brought you here? Shall I be angry for you? ”

The child's lifeless eyes finally had some light, but he still didn't speak, but his eyes searched the crowd.

At this time, a child next to him, who was missing an arm and was about the same age, had the courage to say: "Big brother, he can't speak, his tongue is gone, and he is about to be beaten into a fool." ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was about to get angry, but he was afraid of scaring these children, so he said to the child who spoke: "Then you come and tell me, who beat him, okay?" I am angry for you. ”

The boy was also bold, but he asked, "Really? You can't lie to us. ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "I don't lie to you, I mean what I say." Whoever dares not listen, I will order someone to beat them. ”

The boy then turned around and searched the crowd.

Wu Zhen saw the child's gaze sweep over, glared at the child, and shrank the child in fright.

At this time, Chongzhen was also searching with the child's gaze, and when he saw Wu Zhen staring at the child, he knew something was wrong in his heart, and immediately pointed to the group of people where Wu Zhen was, and shouted: "Take it!" ”

When even more than a dozen captains of the Jinyi Guard pounced, one of them pointed a knife at one, and this small group of more than a dozen people was escorted to a place not far from Chongzhen.

Chongzhen didn't pay attention to it, but asked the kid again: "Look, is there the person you said here?" If he wants to glare at you again, I will let people spank him, you don't have to be afraid. ”

The kid stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Zhen and blurted out, "It's them!" He and the thin man next to him just beat us every day, and didn't give us food, we were hungry. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, he ordered the Jinyi guard next to him to buy some steamed buns from the stall selling steamed buns and give them to these children, and he was so happy that the eyes of the boss who sold steamed buns became a slit - look, my steamed buns, the emperor has bought them, these copper plates can't be spent, and they will be offered when they turn around.

Chongzhen watched those children gobble up steamed buns, and felt sad again. In his previous life, his own bear child was also six or seven years old, and he only thought about playing every day, and he didn't eat the meat and vegetables if he didn't eat it, and he had to coax and trick himself to eat, how do you know that there is such a hard-working child in this world who doesn't even have to eat?

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the heavier the murderous intent in his heart became, and he immediately asked, "Where is the head of the nursing home?" ”

Seeing the head of the sanatorium kneeling in front of him, Chongzhen said: "You wait for these children to return to the sanatorium, spread the word to the sanatoriums in various places, and then find such children, you can seek help from the local Jinyi guard and the government, if someone pushes it, you can go directly to Beijing to complain, whoever dares to stop it, I want his head!" ”

Seeing that the people in the nursing home took these children away, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Order someone to move a set of tables and chairs, and spread the news that the Admiral of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Shuntian Mansion Yin, and Dali Temple Qing came to see me, and I want to borrow this Dongyue Temple today to seek justice for my people!" ”

The words were loud, and most of the people around could hear it, and they were all secretly Emperor Shengming.

The Shuntian Mansion Yin and the Admiral Center of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who were in a hurry, played drums, and they felt that they were afraid that they would not be able to please today, but Dali Siqing was more calm, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

After the three of them finished saluting, Chongzhen directly said to the Shuntian Mansion Yin and the Admiral of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses: "In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was a matter of cutting, but none of the two of you dealt with this matter, they were all punished for half a year, if there is a next time, they will be dismissed and pleaded guilty!" Do you have any objections? ”

Seeing that it was only half a year of fine, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are respectfully edicted." ”

Chongzhen then asked Dali Siqing: "If there is a person who picks and cuts, how can he confess?" ”

Dali Siqing replied: "Your Majesty, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the leader is Ling Chi, the accomplice is beheaded, and the family members are all two thousand miles away whether they know it or not." If Li Zheng knows and does not report it, he will be regarded as an accomplice and will be beheaded. ”

Chongzhen looked at Xu Liu and Wu Zhen, who were pointed at by the knife, and said, "Can you two confess?" Can you have any objections? ”
