On the morning of March 29, more than half of the noble families in Anling City received a summons sent to the palace by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, ordering their heads to go to the county government for trial at the end of the day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Zhao Hongrun did not mention any threat of "what will happen if you don't go" in the herald, those aristocratic families who received the herald did not dare to try it themselves.

Therefore, the heads of the families gathered in front of the county government office early, sighing, even if they saw acquaintances, they forced their faces to laugh, and secretly regretted that they should not have stepped into this troubled water, listened to the words of the Anling Wang, and tried to drive away His Royal Highness King Su.

You know, those small and medium-sized clans who have never participated in breaking the forbidden thing have nothing to do.

As soon as the waiting hour arrived, the door of the county government was wide open, and a government official walked out of the county office, who was Yan Yong's henchman Niu Zhuang, who had just become the head of the work, only to see him carrying a stick, and the urn shouted angrily: "Silence! ”

Hearing this, the chaotic scene outside the county government suddenly quieted down, and the heads of the family who had no regard for Niu Zhuang in the past all looked at Niu Zhuang with a look of fear and fear.

It can be seen that Niu Zhuang is the first time to feel the taste of public attention, grinning, like a big child, which makes many family owners below curse secretly: You rammer, you should say it quickly!

Fortunately, although Niu Zhuang felt novel about the feeling of being in the limelight, he did not forget Yan Yong's instructions, and after pretending to cough twice, he said in a deep voice: "The county master is promoted to the court, and everyone is waiting for trial outside the court!" ”

After that, the rammer turned around and walked into the county office.

"Criminals?"

The heads of many aristocratic families outside the county government were on fire when they heard this, but when they saw the heavily armed merchant soldiers inside and outside the county government, they couldn't help but sigh secretly, and one by one sighed into the county government and stood outside the hall.

I saw that at this moment in the hall, Yan Yong was sitting majestically on the main seat in official uniform, and there were many soldiers and soldiers on both sides of the hall. This is clearly going to kill someone!

In the hall, Zhao Hongrun sat in the auditor's seat, looking indifferently at the crowd outside the hall, and then, he turned his head and nodded slightly at Yan Yong, signaling that the latter could start.

The excitement in Yan Yong's heart.

His hands were trembling with excitement.

You must know that since he came to Anling to take up his post, how has he ever been as majestic as he is today?

If in the past, he wanted to judge the nobles in Anling City? Don't even think about it!

But today is different, because he is backed by King Su Zhao Hongrun behind his back.

"This is a court trial that I will remember for the rest of my life."

Yan Yong secretly cheered for himself, he knew that he had almost no achievements after coming to Anling, and had become a lackey of the nobles led by the Anling Wang family, but before he stepped down, he had to be a real local county magistrate!

"Smack!"

The shocking wood in Yan Yong's hand slapped on the table hard, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bring someone to commit a crime!" ”

"Might--" The merchant and water soldiers under the hall made a temporary cameo appearance, but the momentum was far more terrifying than those ordinary officials, no, among the many families outside the hall, several family heads were pale and their legs were weak after hearing this loud shout, and they sat on the ground paralyzed.

Zong Wei Mu Qing walked to the door of the lobby, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and read the list one by one.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be done by the adjutant's main book, but the people of He County Ya ran out a while ago, although a few people saw Zhao Hongrun and Yan Yong gradually becoming stronger, and ran back cheekily to continue to hold the old position, but unfortunately Zhao Hongrun was pushed to the end and cut off his official position.

After all, what is the use of this kind of wall grass that cannot advance and retreat with the local county order?

As for whether this move is considered an encroachment, it is not, because as the prince of Wei, Zhao Hongrun has the right to cut off any official position below the local county and county order, and he will not be blamed in any way.

Of course, this privilege also stops at the county order, after all, the county order of the local county is still very special, and it is registered in the Ministry of Officials, and under normal circumstances, Zhao Hongrun does not have the right to cut him down, unless he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials like the current Prince of the East Palace.

This is also the reason why Zhao Hongrun did not cut Yan Yong's official position in the first place.

"The following criminals were put on trial, Cui Zheng, Feng Yi, Feng Yuan, ......"

When Zongwei Mu Qing read the list, Niu Zhuang looked at the former enviously, because Zhao Hongrun didn't want to participate in the court trial, but unfortunately, he was illiterate, so Zhao Hongrun had to let Zongwei Mu Qing temporarily make a cameo appearance in the main book.

“…… He Yimen, He Yan, and, Zhao Yimen, Zhao Yu (Zhao Laiyu). ”

In the crowd outside the hall, there was a lot of discussion.

You must know that most of these people are aware of the relationship between Zhao Laiyu's Anling Zhao family and Zhao Hongrun, but they didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun was the first to take his own clansmen.

Subconsciously, the many family heads craned their necks to pay attention, paying attention to Zhao Laiyu's Zhao family, to see how this royal branch would be disposed of, so as to infer the punishment they would face.

I saw that under the attention of everyone, Zhao Laiyu walked out expressionlessly with a cane.

He didn't panic, after all, this court trial was just a formality for him, after all, he and Zhao Hongrun had already negotiated in private.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be resentful and helpless.

When a cadre came to the hall, Yan Yong glanced at Zhao Hongrun, who seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and after staring at Zhao Laiyu for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yu, this official respects you as a member of the royal family and an elder of His Royal Highness King Su, so I won't 'kill you'. ”

Zong Wei Lu Mu moved a stool over.

"......" Zhao Laiyu glanced at Zhao Hongrun, sat down on the stool with a cane, and did not speak with a straight face.

This made Zhao Hongrun secretly mutter: This old thing is quite good at pretending.

However, the rest of the heads of the family did not have such a good time, and the criminal law of the Wei State stipulated that before the prisoner was tried, he must be killed with ten sticks to extinguish his arrogance.

"Hit!"

With Yan Yong's cold drink, several Shangshui sergeants came out of the left and right classes, carrying sticks, pressing the heads of the family to the ground, and beating them with ten sticks.

During this period, the heads of the family in the hall wailed, and the heads of the families who were tried outside the hall turned pale: how could they have been tortured in such a way as to be pampered?

Is this really some kind of torture?

Of course not, those Shangshui soldiers who were executed had their hands in their hands.

Why?

Because of the heads of the first batch of aristocratic families who were judged, they, like Zhao Laiyu, all came to act, and these people had already received Zhao Laiyu's promises and instructions in private.

Therefore, don't look at them as miserable, like pigs being slaughtered, but in fact, they are all pretending.

Well, maybe it's not all pretended, after all, even if the soldiers of the Shang Shui Army retract their efforts, it will be quite painful for these thugs to be beaten down with a stick.

The ten kills came to an end, and the non-commissioned officer of the merchant sailor returned to the train, but when he saw Yan Yong, he was shocked and shouted: "Wait, you can be guilty!" ”

"Guilt, guilt!"

Except for Zhao Laiyu, those heads of the family knelt on the ground and cried one after another: "Lord County Commander, we have all been instigated by the Wang family, otherwise, we will never dare to incite the people to rebel......

"Good fellow, this is the fulfillment of Wang's rebellion?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Laiyu with an expression on his face, and once again sighed in his heart: This old thing is really a ruthless hero, and he is not merciful to his family's previous in-laws.

But think about it carefully, if you don't take this opportunity to completely step the Wang family into the mud, how can Zhao Laiyu's Zhao family replace the former's position in Anling?

"Inciting people to rebel...... You are so bold! Yan Yong slapped the stunned wood again, and reprimanded angrily: "Do you know that this is the sin of raiding the family and filling the army?!" ”

"The county orders the adults to spare their lives, and the county orders the adults to spare their lives."

"We are just bewitched by the Wang family, please ask the county commander to be gracious."

The heads of the family pleaded one after another, and one of them turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, kowtowed and said, "His Royal Highness King Su, I am waiting for the guilt, I ...... I am willing to give up half of my family wealth, and beg His Royal Highness King Su to spare us and others, and not to expel us from Anling. …… Anling is my hometown, how can I leave lightly? Please be gracious to His Royal Highness King Su......"

"......" Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word.

At this time, I saw Yan Yong slapping the stunned wood, and scolded angrily: "Shut up!" How could His Royal Highness King Su value your wealth? …… This time, His Royal Highness King Su is just listening, and in this hall, this official is the biggest! ”

When he said this, Yan Yong couldn't help but feel an unprecedented stimulus, although this move was privately instructed by Zhao Hongrun, after all, the latter did not want to be saddled with the stigma of "squeezing the aristocratic property", but then again, how many people can shout this sentence "the biggest official here" in front of Zhao Hongrun, looking at the entire Wei State?

"Yes, yes, it's me who is confused."

The heads of the family hurriedly begged Yan Yong for mercy.

Seeing that he had put on a good show, Yan Yong restrained the anger on his face, and said slowly: "Even if you are only instigated by the Wang family, it is unforgivable to participate in inciting the people to rebel!" …… However, for the sake of your contribution to Anling in the past, this official thinks that he should be open to you. …… Are you really willing to pay half of your wealth? ”

"Yes! Willing! ”

"I'm willing."

Several family heads hurriedly said.

Yan Yong nodded when he heard this, and asked Zhao Hongrun to say: "His Royal Highness King Su, my Anling is currently short of a sum of money to resettle refugees outside the city, since these people are willing to hand over half of their family property, can they make a special exception?" …… In the end, it is better to punish these people than to relieve more refugees. ”

Zhao Hongrun pretended to think for a moment, and then said lightly: "Lord Yan is in charge." ”

Hearing this, several family heads in the hall suddenly turned pale, and the nobles standing outside the hall also became active.

Although it is indeed heartbreaking to hand over half of the family property, if Zhao Hongrun can nod and lift the punishment for them, so that they can still stay in Anling, they are still willing to pay such a price.

After all, there are not many families, like the Anling Wang family, there is still a powerful family in Zhengcheng. (To be continued.) )
