After more than ten beatings, Chen Miaosheng had changed from a loud scream to a low wail, and Liu Xun ordered, "Stop." ”

The officials stopped beating the board and pumped the water and fire sticks, and Chen Miaosheng, who had been beaten and was dying, lay on the ground like a dead fish and did not move. His face was wet with sweat, tears, snot, and saliva, and the urine under him was slowly printed.

And Steward Cui was also in a war at this time, and he knew that once Chen Miaosheng told the truth, then he would also be interrogated. And the problem is that they didn't think that this lawsuit was difficult and that they would win it, so they didn't say hello to these officials or anything. If he is also beaten on the board, according to this style of play, his little life will basically be explained here.

Liu Xun glanced at the palace manager Cui who was already wiping his sweat, and then looked at Li Yan, who didn't say anything. He suddenly announced: "This is a case of false accusation, and in view of the fact that the criminal Chen Miaosheng is already unconscious, it has been decided to retry it tomorrow." Retire! ”

Steward Cui immediately bowed to Liu Xun, and then immediately turned around and left, for fear that he would walk slowly and be summoned back by Liu Xun. And Li Yan also turned around and left as soon as he pressed his hand to Liu Xun, without saying any more requests.

Liu Xun nodded slightly, and also got up and left the lobby.

Li Yan walked slowly on the road, he didn't know if the case was over, so he didn't plan to go home, but to the inn. He walked for a while, and was caught up by Li Bantou behind him.

"Mr. Li," Li Bantou arched his hand, "Lord Inspector, please speak." ”

Li Yan was not surprised, nodded, and said, "Okay, please lead the way." ”

Li Yan followed Li Bantou to the back hall of the yamen, which is the usual office place, so the layout is quite peaceful, more like a study, with a lot of books on the shelves.

"I've seen the patrol in my humble position." Li Yan clasped his fists and saluted.

At this time, Liu Xunji had already taken off his official uniform, wearing civilian clothes and a square scarf, without the majesty of the court. He nodded and said, "Sit down, don't be formal." ”

Li Yan excused himself: "In front of the old gentleman, I dare not sit down. ”

Liu Xun didn't let him go any further, for a martial artist, he was polite enough. He opened his mouth and said: "I have already read the letter of the Su County Order, you have done a good job in Qi County, relocating displaced people and reclaiming wasteland, which not only reduces the source of trouble, but also gives the imperial court some taxes. In the court's cabinet and auxiliary Taijian, they may not be aware of the current situation, the world is acre, and only two or three percent of the taxes can be collected. But no one, not even me, dared to say it. ”

Li Yan was a little surprised, and he didn't know how Liu Xunji would say this to him.

"Forget it, don't talk about him about the affairs of the court, let it be fate." Liu Xunpress continued: "You have done a good job in Qi County, I will play to the imperial court, and I can't let the meritorious people be unknown and rewarded." ”

Li Yan hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "This is all the credit of Su Xianzun, and the humble duty is just execution." "He didn't want to be honored by the court as a model of loyalty. The court has always been accustomed to have the ability to use it, as long as there is a mistake, countless people come up and step on it, and then everyone is finally with the light, and there are no more dazzling stars.

Liu Xunji nodded, touched his beard and said, "Well, Su County Ling is indeed talented." In his consciousness, only Su Jing, who was also from the same Kodi, could come up with such a way. As for Li Yan, he is just a vulgar martial artist, as long as he knows how to carry out orders, he is a good military attaché.

Liu Xun continued: "You behaved very well in this matter, and you didn't ask for anything in the hall. This official doesn't want to do much, in Kaifeng City, Zhou Fan has been here for nearly three hundred years, and his power is extraordinary. Now Henan is full of thieves, and only Kaifeng is safe. This official just wants to serve this half-year term in peace and stability, and then he can return to his hometown. The affairs of the court, the official doesn't want to worry about it anymore, so let's go back to my hometown and study and entertain myself in peace. If nothing else, this case is closed, and you don't have to pursue it, so you won't get into trouble. ”

Li Yan also knew the truth that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, as long as the Zhou Wangfu did not come to trouble him, he was not willing to have a conflict with the palace, at least not yet. He wrapped his fists and said, "Xie Xun pressed the point." ”

Zhou Wangfu, the prince's bedroom.

"Shizi, what can I do about this?" Steward Cui asked sweating profusely. He ran back as soon as possible, told the story in detail, and asked the prince to take an idea.

"Rubbish!" Shizi scolded: "This is what you are ready for?!" Is this foolproof?! ”

"The villain should be damned, the villain should be damned." Steward Cui quickly knelt down and kept kowtowing to apologize.

Shizi touched his beard and thought for a while, then asked, "The homeless person who originally came to the palace to report has not been found?" ”

"No, there's no news at all, maybe I went to beg for food elsewhere." Steward Cui replied.

Shizi slapped the table angrily and scolded: "A bunch of fools with no knowledge! Whoever drives people away, 20 boards, a fine of half a year! ”

"Yes, the villain will do it in a moment."

At this time, a little eunuch stood outside the door and said in a shrill voice: "Yushizi, the prince invites you to come over." ”

The prince said that he knew, and then called the palace maid to help him tidy up his clothes, and then rushed to see his father. As for Cui's stewardship, he didn't need to be instructed, he kowtowed and left.

"Father." The prince came to the Dragon Pavilion Hall and saluted the king of Zhou.

"You asked someone to patrol the yamen?" King Zhou asked majestically.

The son of the world was a little surprised, all these years, he has dealt with the outside affairs, and his father has never taken care of it, why is he asking again today? But he still replied: "Yes, the child wants to add some land to the house, and it is all good land." ”

"The problem is that things are not done well!" King Zhou said disappointedly: "I also let the patrol press be imprisoned." The great crime of rebellion is still false accusation! You want to stab the emperor with all the pickles in the palace?! ”

"No, that Liu Xun doesn't have the guts, right?" Shizi asked.

King Zhou said: "In extraordinary times, don't make trouble!" And the general of the township soldiers, don't be entangled anymore, our palace still doesn't lack this little bit of land! ”

"It's just a boss, is he qualified to hold so many fields?" Shizi asked unwillingly.

King Zhou said, "What time is it?" The world is in chaos! From now on, those who lead troops in everything should stop shouting and drinking, this world will require them to perform on stage in the future. ”

"It can't be that serious, right?" Shizi frowned and said: "The thieves have been making trouble since the second year of Chongzhen, and they haven't been killed in waves?" Our old Zhu family's country is stable. ”

King Zhou said with a calm face: "I'm not dead yet!" That's all for this matter, if you have something in the future, discuss it with me! You're also old, and you're still not sophisticated, and you have to learn again! ”

"Yes, the boy knows." The son of the world agreed in disappointment. His power was taken back so easily.

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the yamen, I've already arranged it." King Zhou finally reminded solemnly.
