disposed of the Criminal Department, but Ye Xiong, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department, was not guilty, so Wang Xu sent him to the front line to assist Sun Yu and Han Shushu, which was also for Ye Xiong's consideration.

On the second day, early in the morning, Chengqian Palace.

When all the ministers stood on top of the main hall, Wang Xu pretended to be angry and walked out of the back study and stepped on his throne.

Wang Xu threw off his sleeve robe and sat down, and the cold cold light swept over everyone standing in the hall.

At this time, it seemed that the air was instantly frozen, unusually depressed, Wang Xu did not speak, kept looking at everyone, and at the same time he was constantly thinking about who to take the knife in his mind.

At this moment, the ministers also felt that something was wrong, in the past, as soon as Wang Xu sat down, he would chirp and say that he had not forgotten, but today he has been keeping a straight face, as if he had encountered something unhappy.

Wang Xu's face made people shudder.

"Why, can't you play?"

Inside the main hall, a majestic roar suddenly sounded.

This roar broke the peace in the hall and startled everyone, even Jia Hui was sweating on his forehead, however, everyone didn't know what was going on.

In the hall, only Murong Yuan knew what was going on, but he didn't speak, just stood quietly in place.

"King Huiwen, there is nothing in the world, it can show that my western capital is prosperous, King Wen is virtuous, and it is the blessing of my western capital!"

The name of the person who spoke was Duan Ren, who was a squire in the Criminal Department, and his status in the Criminal Department was second only to Ye Xiong, and he was considered a high-ranking official, but in fact, those who could stand on this Chengqian Hall were all figures with heads and faces.

Wang Xu sneered: "Is it really okay?" Wang Xu slowly picked up a book from the desk, on which were the cases that Wang Xu spent all night sorting out, all of which had not been closed by the Criminal Department.

"Three years ago. There is a pawnshop in the south of the western capital, and a fire broke out, killing three and injuring one, and your criminal department. So far, we have not been able to find out the reason, and the case has not been closed, and this case has been discarded, why, you want to let the people die. Will you never be able to get a revenge? ”

Wang Xu slammed on the desk: "In that case, what do I want your criminal department to do?" ”

At this point, there were six attendants in the Criminal Department, and they all knelt down in fear, but everyone didn't understand whether it was worth such a lot of trouble when a small shop caught fire.

Wang Xu ignored the crowd and took out a few notebooks again: "See, this is the one that many counselors of Wenyuan Pavilion played to impeach you." said that your criminal department failed to dedicate itself to its work, and many cases were left alone! It should be punished severely! ”

"King Wen, I'm waiting for the wrong..."

.........

The officials of the Criminal Department didn't know why, so they had to cry and shout.

"Wronged? What have you wronged? Do you dare to say that what this king has just said is not the truth? As he spoke, Wang Xu threw down more than a dozen books on the table, all of which were written about cases that had not been solved for many years, some from Hexi County and some from Guxi County.

"Take a good look, has this king wronged you?"

The six squires picked up the folds one after another, and the cases listed above were clearly distinguished. Everyone knew at a glance that there were indeed these things, and it was undeniable that what Wang Xu said was the truth.

But the crowd did not understand. When did Wang Xu pay attention to this kind of trivial matter, the Western Capital was fertile for thousands of miles, and there were not a few cases that day, if you really want to be serious one by one, then the Criminal Department is not tired to death.

Besides, there are some cases that just can't be solved. There is no alternative to the backlog.

Just when the six squires were trembling in fear, Jia Hui on the side came out and said, "King Wen, the officials of the Criminal Department have always been conscientious in their duties..." ”

"Master Jia, there is no need to say more!" Wang Xu waved his hand to stop Jia Hui and prevented him from interceding for the officials of the Criminal Department.

Glaring at Jia Hui, Wang Xu continued to look at the six squires: "Listen, as an official of the Criminal Department, you should let there be no grievances in the world, but you, if you don't punish you, how can you revitalize the dynasty?" ”

Jia Hui frowned at this time, he couldn't figure it out, he didn't know why Wang Xu did this, those cases that were not solved were just a trivial matter for the huge Western Capital, and the current major matter was still to focus on the military situation on the front line.

Jia Hui looked at the officials of the other six departments, and the officials of the Military Aircraft Department lowered a color, signaling everyone to intercede, however, at this time, who dared to come out and speak.

Everyone saw it very clearly just now, and even Jia Hui's request for mercy was rejected by Wang Xu. Compared with Jia Hui, what are the others, don't cause trouble to yourself.

"Where is the Yulin Army outside the door, drag all the officials of Duan Ren and the other six departments down to me, and punish me with fifty rods, so as to set an example!"

Wang Xu suddenly shouted, outside the Chengqian Palace, more than a dozen Yulin soldiers broke in, picked up the six people and dragged them out of the door, although the six people shouted wronged, but the Yulin Army was not soft at all, they only carried out Wang Xu and Zhang Meng's orders.

Zhang Meng pursed his mouth, stood aside and smiled, he had long been tired of looking down on these literati, Wang Xu came forward to punish him, and he felt very relieved.

Think about the soldiers who are fighting the front line, the line of life and death, but these literati, they have a little merit, but they show off their power every day, which is really infuriating.

After a while, there was a sound of 'popping' outside the main hall, and everyone knew that this was the squire of the criminal department who was being punished, and as the voices came, the faces of all the civil officials in the hall oozed a trace of cold sweat.

Fifty rods! For a military general like Zhang Meng, it is really nothing, at most it is just a few days of rest, however, for a civil official like the squire of the Criminal Department, maybe just these fifty canes can kill a few people, and at least they will have to lie in bed for a few months and not be able to get out of bed!

Although Wang Xu's move seems to be an open side, in fact, it is a heavy punishment, which is equivalent to beheading!

It should be said that it is more terrible than decapitation, the decapitation hurts and it will be over, and he will still be a young man after twenty years, but the cane will hurt fifty times!

Wang Xu didn't speak, just waited quietly, he was waiting for the Yulin Army to come back after the execution.

And the rest of the ministers are the same.

After a while, the shouts outside the door became smaller and quieter, until they disappeared completely, and then more than a dozen Yulin soldiers walked in with six criminal department attendants.

At this moment, all six people fainted, not knowing life and death, their bodies were covered with bloodstains, and the clothes behind them were rotten. Appalling.

"You can see it all, this is the end of not fulfilling your duties, this is the end of not obeying the will of this king!" Wang Xu suddenly shouted loudly. When he said this, he deliberately looked at Jia Hui below, as if he was talking to Jia Hui.

At this moment, Jia Hui also looked at Wang Xu, and with just one glance, Jia Hui was defeated and hurriedly bowed his head; At this time, he didn't understand even more, what did Wang Xu mean by this? (To be continued.) )
