Chapter 655: Lang Qing (1)

Kong Sheng raised the gold medal in his hand high, and his voice was high-pitched and powerful: "Wait and listen, this king is ordered by the emperor to give the gold medal, and he has the right to cut first and then play." ”

The crowd was awe-inspiring.

"Sun Liang, you bewitched the soldiers to come to our house to make noise, incite the morale of the army, and commit the following crimes, violating military discipline and violating national law, and you should be punished for your crimes." Kong Sheng's indifferent voice came into the ears of Sun Liang and everyone, Sun Liang gritted his teeth and turned pale, but he didn't dare to refute.

"But this king is not a strict and murderous person, the so-called heaven has the virtue of a good life, if you can confess your sins and surrender to the law, this king is also willing to open the net and leave you a way to live."

"Are you guilty?!" Kong Sheng's voice suddenly rose an octave and became angry.

Sun Liang's shoulders trembled slightly, he knew that at this point, Yang Qi would no longer be able to speak for him and plead for him, and he would not be able to plead for mercy. Kong Sheng's anger needs to find an outlet, and he is the basin of cold water that extinguishes Kong Sheng's anger. He can't bite Yang Qi back like Song Bin, even if he bites back, it probably won't help - in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Yang Qi's instructions behind the scenes, but Yang Qi's identity is different after all, and he is Kong Sheng's father-in-law, and he is still unlucky.

But he wasn't wronged either. After all, this matter was instigated by him, and Yang Qi acquiesced at most, nothing more.

Sun Liang slowly knelt down, his voice trembling weakly: "The king of the county, the last general will confess his guilt and subjugate the law!" ”

Kong Sheng smiled coldly: "Since you confess to the law, this king will sentence you to remove your military position, punish you with three hundred rods, and confiscate the army for three thousand miles southwest, can you be convinced?" ”

The corners of Sun Liang's mouth trembled, and his heart was cold to his heels, but reason told him that this was already regarded as a mercy on the part of Kong Sheng's subordinates, and if it was Kong Sheng's ruthless style, it was possible to kill him on the spot - colliding with the county king's mansion, this kind of crime can be big or small, if it is really true, his relatives of the nine clans will be punished.

But in addition to the military position, the cane of 300, and the exile of 3,000 miles to the southwest, for Sun Liang, although the end is miserable, there is still a glimmer of life after all.

Sun Liang burst into tears, hit his head on the ground, and said in a wailing voice: "Sin will deserve death, convincing!" ”

"Someone comes, execute him on the spot, remove his armor and official clothes, and punish him with three hundred killing rods! Early tomorrow morning, he will be exiled from the city immediately, and he will not be allowed to return to Jiangning for the rest of his life! Kong Sheng snorted coldly, turned around and ignored Yang Qi and other Jiangnan officials, and walked away.

Kong Sheng was still merciful. Helplessly, after all, I still have to leave some affection for Yang Qi. But this is Kong Sheng's last mercy to Yang Qi's subordinates, if Yang Qi still does not repent in the future and provokes trouble again, Kong Sheng's treatment of the enemy is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, but he has not really understood it.

Yang Qi stood in front of the county king's mansion with a black face and gritted his teeth to monitor the execution, and when Sun Liang, who was dying, was dragged down by the three hundred killing rods, he roared at the hundreds of troublemakers present, and ordered all the soldiers involved in this matter to be punished with fifty canes each, fined for one month, and then left the house in embarrassment.

Although Song Ning did not show up, he had been hiding in the corner to watch this scene. When his youngest son Song Bin was scolded with a cane, he groaned and appeared in front of him with the help of two domestic servants, and he looked up gloomily and gave Song Bin a resounding slap.

Song Ning looked at the direction in which Yang Qi raised his horse and led everyone to leave, and sneered. He said in his heart: Yang Qi, old thief, you want to drag Song into this troubled water, but how can Song be fooled by you? Although this king of Jiangning County is a high-ranking lord, Song is not an ordinary person, and he has to think twice if he wants to move my son! Hum!

"You son of a, you are so stupid! Someone will bring this son of evil to the official and take him back to his house, and he will be grounded for a month and not allowed to go out. Song Ning snorted coldly, turned over his horse, and disappeared into the dark night along the spacious streets of the city.

Although it was Sun Liang who was scolded and exiled, it was really a slap in the face to Yang Qi. The news spread, which was a big blow to Yang Qi's authority in Jiangnan.

Yang Qi returned to the mansion, his anger did not subside, he was locked in the study alone, smashed all the furniture in the study, roared hysterically, and tossed for most of the hour.

Hearing the movements in the study, the Zheng family, Yang Xueruo and the people in the courtyard were silent, and their faces were not good-looking, but even the Zheng family knew that Yang Qi was angry, and they didn't dare to go in and touch Yang Qi's moldy head easily.

Zheng couldn't help but complain: "My son, that Kong Sheng is also excessive, how big is this?" What is the fuss worthwhile? That Sun Liang is your father's confidant, and for this little thing, he exiled Sun Liang to the southwest for 3,000 miles, where does this put your father's face? ”

Yang Xueruo was a little speechless. Her mood at the moment was more complicated than anyone else's, and she didn't even want to say a word, she was disheartened. She didn't understand why things had come to this extent - why did her father insist on getting along with Kong Sheng, even if it was because he was about to marry into the county prince's mansion, for the sake of his daughter's future happiness, he had to restrain one or two, right?

She doesn't understand that in the struggle for power, there is actually no family affection. Kong Sheng wants to seize Yang Qi's power, whether it is out of some kind of deep-seated consideration to protect the Yang family, which is unbearable and cannot sit still for Yang Qi; But on the other hand, Kong Sheng was in charge of the military and political power in Jiangnan, Shannan and Nannan, and it was natural for him to take over power from Yang Qi. It can be said that since the first day when Kong Sheng entered Jiangnan as the king of Jiangning County on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol, Kong Sheng and Yang Qi have been on the opposite side of the contradiction, which has nothing to do with Yang Xueruo and the marriage between the two families.

Of course, if it weren't for Yang Xueruo's existence, Kong Sheng's attack would definitely be more decisive and ruthless, and he would never leave any room for Yang Qi.

Regarding her mother's reproach, Yang Xueruo was speechless. But when the Zheng family chattered and began to accuse Kong Sheng, Yang Xueruo couldn't help it after all, and sighed faintly: "Ah Niang, Kong Lang is the first-class county king of the imperial court, how respectful is his identity?" But...... However, Sun Liang instigated hundreds of soldiers to go to the county king's mansion to make trouble, and this evil behavior has violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"From the perspective of his daughter, Kong Lang has shown mercy. If Kong Lang's chicken belly is clung to it, and a table is presented to Beijing, not to mention that a mere Sun Liang, even his father, I am afraid he will not be able to afford it. ”

"A-Niang, we have to put ourselves in our shoes and think about everything. If this incident is in our Yang family, if someone instigates the soldiers to make trouble in front of my Yang family's mansion, how will my father react? Will there be silence? ”

"Kong Lang is the king of Jiangning County, and he is the commander of the two military and political departments in Shannan and Jiangnan, if you put aside the relationship between your daughter, our Yang family is a subordinate of the Kong family to put it bluntly. If our Yang family continues to be so obsessed, the following offenses will be made, and the marriage between our daughter and Kong Lang will be in vain, but how should our Yang family deal with itself in the future? Yang Xueruo sighed: "Auntie, my daughter is all she says." From today onwards, the daughter will lock the attic tightly and not ask the Yang family anything about right and wrong until the daughter is out of the attic. But if the Yang family insists on making enemies with Kong Lang, the daughter is helpless, the marriage is abandoned, and the daughter can only die, so you should have never given birth to a daughter. ”

Yang Xueruo burst into tears and ran away.

Zheng stood in the night and looked at the beautiful back of his daughter running away, and muttered for a long time before he let out a complicated sigh.

Although she is snobbish, it does not mean that she is ignorant, let alone ignorant of current affairs. She knew very well in her heart that if her husband didn't change his mentality and continued to choke with Kong Sheng, the Yang family would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

But Yang Qi and the Yang family have been running Jiangnan for so many years, and the power they have obtained is about to be taken away, how can Yang Qi be willing?
