Chapter 226: Havoc on the Execution Ground (3)
"Bold, Li Guangdi, do you want to rebel?"
Although Hongqing was planning to make a big fuss, he couldn't afford to fight with the Criminal Department to cause the people to be killed and injured.
"Stop!"
Hongqing was silent, Li Guangdi could pretend not to know that Hongqing was there, but Hongqing roared like this, Li Guangdi didn't dare to act arrogantly on the charge of killing the children of the Heavenly Family, although he was reluctant, he could only break his throat loudly.
"Wow!"
The soldiers of the Criminal Department were forced forward, and in their hearts, no one was willing to offend Hongqing, the popular Lord Belle, and when they heard Li Guangdi's order, they were happy to obey their orders, and they all responded in unison, and they all returned to their original positions one after another.
"It turned out to be Hongqing Baylor, who was old and clumsy for a while, and he didn't see it, but it was rude."
If he didn't come, Li Guangdi didn't want to come to the muddy water, but as the secretary of the criminal department, there was such a big fork in his head, he couldn't pretend not to know, the reason why he pretended not to see Hongqing before, the idea was to forcibly control the situation, relying on the advantage of the many soldiers in the criminal department, first drive Hongqing and others out of the execution ground and then take care of the rest, but unfortunately these intentions were drunk by Hongqing on the spot, helpless, Li Guangdi could only cheer up, bowed his hand to Hongqing, and apologized very sincerely.
"It's okay, Lord Li came just in time, there was a strange thing about the autumn decision of the Criminal Department, Ben Baylor was deeply puzzled, Lord Li, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, should know the roots?"
Whether Li Guangdi's apology was sincere or not, Hongqing didn't care at all, and didn't bother to bother with it, so he lightly exposed the previous conflict that almost broke out, wisely grabbed the subject, and asked sharply.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Lulangzhong, what the hell is going on? ”
Li Guangdi only took over the Criminal Department in mid-August, and he is not very familiar with the work of the ministry, and he doesn't know anything about slaughtering the white goose, but he understands one thing, that is, Hongqing dares to launch in front of tens of thousands of people, so there is a chance that the matter will not be fake, if Hongqing is really allowed to completely expose this matter, he Li Guangdi will not be able to eat and walk around, and it is quite light to be admonished by the old man Kangxi, and the top of the Wenyuan Pavilion scholar who has just been brought not long ago has to be taken off because of this, This kind of consequence is not something Li Guangdi is willing to bear, because of this, in the face of Hongqing's questioning, Li Guangdi did not express his position directly, but glanced at the panicked Lu Kunpeng, and pretended to ask.
"Back to the words of the lord, there is no such thing, the lower official was ordered to behead the death row prisoner, and he has already verified his identity, but I don't know why Hongqing Baylor took the liberty to disrupt the order of the execution ground, so that the autumn decision was blocked, and the lower official implored the lord to uphold justice."
Things have come to this point, Lu Kunpeng has long had no way out, no matter what Hongqing has ideas, he unceremoniously put a big hat that disturbed the order of the execution ground on Hongqing's head.
"Well, I see, why is Sunny Baylor so reckless? Don't you know that the law of the country is ruthless? ”
Li Guangdi is an official fan, in order to be an official, there is nothing he dare not do, even Chen Menglei and other close friends dared to betray, and he sold it without a red face and a heartbeat, and his face has long been cultivated as thick as a city wall.
"Lord Li didn't ask about the indiscriminate accusations on Ben Baylor's head, isn't it because he has a weak heart?"
Li Guangdi has been in the sea for a long time, and his majestic aura is terrifying, and if he is a bystander, he is so intimidated, maybe he will really retreat, but it is a pity that he met Hongqing, how could he let him be proud, but seeing that the corners of Hongqing's mouth were raised, he showed a sneering smile, and stabbed Li Guangdi without any scruples.
"You ......, madness! This official will impeach you in this book, come on, and invite Qing Belle out of the court! ”
was ridiculed by Hongqing like this, Li Guangdi's old face couldn't hang up, and under the anger, he planned to use his anger to preemptively attack and try to expel Hongqing from the scene, and then the way to kill the mouth was to eliminate the bottom of the kettle, only those death row prisoners were all beheaded, and the clues were generally ruined.
"Presumptuous, the royal dragon pendant is here, and those who dare to stir up trouble will be punished for the crime of rebellion!"
As soon as Li Guangdi's words came out, Hongqing instantly understood his calculations, how could he be proud, but seeing Hongqing quickly shake his hand, he took out a jade pendant from his wide sleeve, raised it high above his head, and roared loudly.
"Prince Cheng is here, get out of the way, get out of the way!"
As soon as Hongqing's dragon pendant came out, the soldiers of the criminal department who had already heard the order were all dumbfounded, although they didn't know whether it was true or not, but no one dared to gamble with their own lives, and they all stood on the spot in disarray, and they were at a loss, and the cold burst into a burst of cheers, and there was a big chaos in the direction of the city gate hole, and then I saw more than 100 palace guards riding horses and hugging the third master and galloping out of the city gate hole, and broke into the law field at high speed.
Phew, Daddy, Daddy, you finally didn't drop the chain this time, it's up to you to perform!
Although there is a dragon pendant in hand, but Hongqing does not dare to guarantee whether Li Guangdi will take risks, if this old thing is determined to destroy the corpse, Hongqing really doesn't have much to do, he can't really fight with the soldiers of the criminal department, but fortunately, at this time, the third master finally came, and Hongqing's heart hanging in the air can be regarded as falling to the ground.
"Xiaguan has seen the prince!"
Li Guangdi was originally planning to forcibly drive people away regardless of the soldiers of the Criminal Department, but he didn't expect the third master to come at this time, and his heart couldn't help but be half cold, but he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he could only forcibly suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and quickly grabbed the third master's horse and saluted respectfully.
"Master Li is polite, what is going on, why is it like this?"
The third master had already known about Li Guangdi's rush to the execution ground before he came, in fact, the third master and Li Guangdi set off from Tiananmen Square on their front and back feet, but at this time, they pretended to know nothing and asked.
"Xia Guan has just arrived, and he is under investigation."
Facing the third master's question, Li Guangdi didn't dare to point out that the deer was talking nonsense, his eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't know what to ask.
"Well, Qing'er, why are you making a fuss about the court, huh?"
The third master is a fine person, how could he not know what Li Guangdi was thinking in his heart, but he did not say anything to expose it, but quietly whispered, looked sideways at Hongqing, who was guarded by Li Minxing and others, drooped his face, and pretended to be displeased.
"Enlighten the father, the child heard that there is an autumn decision today, and he also got up to see the lively leisure, but he never thought that this look was to see the flaw, there is no other, there are a few people in those death row prisoners who are clearly very different from the people stated in the verdict, suspected of impersonating the deceased, the child thinks that human life is a matter of heaven, and he can't sit idly by, so he will come out to investigate, and now, there is clear evidence, there are not a few people who die here, it seems that such a strange thing is too sensational, the child does not dare to judge well, and I specially ask my father to investigate!"
Hongqing didn't plan to release all the evidence in his hand, but insisted that this time the execution ground was still found occasionally, in order to open the sleeve wide, just waiting to put all the targets in.
"Is there such a thing? Master Li, how do you explain this, huh? ”
Although the third master and Li Guangdi have not had much contact, since returning to Beijing, they have been secretly stumbled by Li Guangdi, and they have long seen that it is extremely unpleasant.
"Lord Mingjian, Xia Guan has indeed just arrived, everything is still under investigation, what Qing Belle said is only one side, yes or not still have to be checked to know, Lu Langzhong, you say, is all this true, huh?"
Hearing that the third master had the intention of aiming the spearhead directly at himself, Li Guangdi's heart immediately sank, but he did not lose his sense of proportion because of this, and after a few words without being soft or hard, he kicked the question to the panicked Lu Kunpeng.
"Back to the words of the lord, these are all slanderous words, the lower officials don't know what Hongqing Shizi means, all the death row prisoners present have been tested, and there is no doubt that they are themselves!"
Seeing that the matter was destined to make a big fuss, Lu Kunpeng was already pulling the cold aside in his heart, but he refused to give in, and it was Hongqing who was messing around with a bite of death, hoping that Li Guangdi could withstand the pressure of the third master, and it was best to drag it to the eighth master's side, and someone could rush over, and he would be able to get a glimmer of life.
"Is that really the case, huh?"
Li Guangdi naturally didn't want to be taken off the black gauze hat, even if he didn't have any friendship with Lu Kunpeng, he could only support him hard-headed at this time, of course, Li Guangdi would not be stupid enough to immediately confront the third master, but to use Lu Kunpeng's words to play tricks, so he turned pale and said in a fierce voice.
"That's true, Xia Guan can swear to the sky, and there is no lie!"
has come to this point, how can Lu Kunpeng have any room to retreat, so he naturally swears with a curse.
"Lord, you see, now the two things are diametrically opposed, but it is not good to make a direct conclusion, the matter is big, and those who are not our ministers can judge it arbitrarily, why don't the lower officials first take the prisoner back to the prison, and then the saint will be clear, and the saint will judge right and wrong?"
With Lu Kunpeng's tough statement, Li Guangdi also had the confidence to wrestle with the third master, and he didn't give Hongqing a chance to speak again, so he bowed his hand to the third master, and suggested a sentence in a gentle tone.
