The morale of the Baojie army was so angry that his face turned red, his whole body trembled, he stood up, pointed at the official, and shouted angrily: "You...... You are talking nonsense, we are the pro-guards of the Holy Lord, how can we falsely report our war exploits? ”

The official glanced at the sergeant with disdain, and snorted: "You are such a soldier, and you only have military merits in your heart......

"Enough!" The emperor grabbed a porcelain vase at hand, threw it at the official, and shouted angrily: "The front-line soldiers are spilling blood for the country and the people, but you are fabricating and wantonly distorting it out of thin air, what is your intention?" ”

The official trembled, hurriedly bowed to the ground, and pleaded: "Your Majesty is angry, Weichen has lost his words!" Wechen is not denying the merits of the front-line soldiers, but just ......"

"Just what? Just for their own selfishness, they can grandstand and talk nonsense? If the courtiers are like you, then where is the faith of the court and the majesty of the court? A frivolous person like you is not worthy of the status of a court official at all! The emperor was furious, and shouted outside the palace: "Come on, drive this frivolous person out of the court, demote him to a commoner, and never hire him!" ”

"Ah, the emperor ......"

"The emperor is angry!" Ruan Changfeng, the first assistant of the cabinet, couldn't imagine that the emperor was so angry, so he hurriedly went out to plead and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu's words are indeed checked from time to time, but their original intention is also for the sake of the court, begging the emperor to be lenient!" ”

"The original intention? What is the original intention? Lord Ruan, do you really think that I am so foolish, I don't understand that you deliberately created rumors to undermine Han Fei's reputation? ”

Ruan Changfeng's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention!" ”

"Lord Ruan, whether you have it or not, you should reflect and reflect if you have made enough fuss!" The emperor raised his hand and said coldly: "Han Fei will never be defeated!" My guards will never fail me! Here is the roster of the seized White Lotus Sect's Southern Heavenly Dharma King Department, if you Lord Ruan have any doubts, you can check it! ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers were shocked, many people thought that the emperor attacked the nobles and belittled the Jia family, Han Fei, as a member of the nobles, should not be reused, but they didn't expect the emperor to trust Han Fei so much.

Ruan Changfeng knew that he had made a stinky move today, and hurriedly said: "The old minister believes that Uncle Zhongyi and the pro-guard army will not deceive the emperor!" ”

The emperor glanced at the ministers, got up and said, "Reward the sergeant who has rewarded the victory, retire from the court!" ”

In today's scene in the court, the clear-eyed people seemed to see something, and hurriedly invited friendly people to talk to each other.

Yu Shiying, the imperial historian of Zuo Du, rushed to the duty room of Du Yun, the second assistant of the cabinet, and said: "Teacher, the disciple feels that the scene in the court today is a little strange, and it is naturally expected that the Holy Lord trusts Senior Brother Han and trusts the pro-guards, but the punishment of the slandered Lord Lu seems to be a little harsh, does this imply something?" ”

"Shiying, you can see this, I am very happy for the teacher!" Du Yun said with a smile: "The emperor is the king of a country, even if he favors a courtier, he will keep it in his heart, the reason why he expressed his position in public today is mainly because of his upright identity!" ”

"The meaning of the teacher is ......"

"Shiying, the emperor has severely punished the nobles recently, because the nobles have really made trouble, and they have reached the point of anger and resentment, but they will never uproot the nobles, after all, the nobles have a huge network of relationships and a lot of influence, which is related to the foundation and stability of Dahua. Shouzheng is a member of the nobles, and most of the guards are led by the sons of the nobles, and the emperor's move is to appease the nobles. ”

"What the teacher said is very true, the disciple was originally worried that after Senior Brother Han returned to Beijing, he would be implicated by the Jia family, but now it seems that Senior Brother Han's return to Beijing will not be affected in any way!"

"Well, Shouzheng has seen this matter thoroughly, you see that the Jia family immediately entered the palace to ask for guilt, handed over to Daguanyuan, and asked for a knight, which was appreciated by the emperor, and it must be from Shouzheng's plan to see the teacher."

"Senior Brother Han is thoughtful, and the disciple is too worried!"

"You brothers and sisters care about each other, this is how it should be!" Du Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "Shiying, the future of keeping the right is great, it will definitely be above you, you have to do your best to assist!" ”

"Don't worry, the disciple also understands and knows how to do it! Teacher, the emperor has already appeased the nobles, what should the disciples do next? ”

"Pacification can't stop at lip service, but breathe a sigh of relief for the noble class!" Du Yun took out a dossier, handed it to Yu Shiying, and said: "This is the initiator of the impeachment of Xungui, the evidence of the illegal behavior of Yushi Peiguang, tomorrow morning, you will arrange for someone to impeach!" ”

Yu Shiying's heart sank, and she exclaimed: "This is ......"

"The ...... handed over by Han Fu This is Shouzheng to give an explanation to the Jia family! ”

The successive events in the Jinghu area were shocking, and the loyal and righteous Bo Han Fei sent by the imperial court made a heavy punch, first killing all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then annihilating the White Lotus Sect in the first battle, leaving a decisive impact on the people, completely deterring Xiaoxiao, and laying the foundation for the later call on the displaced people to return to their hometowns to resume production.

However, because of the large number of prisoners arrested, it brought great difficulties to the interrogation work, and it was impossible for hundreds of prisoners to be interrogated one by one without a few months. But the current situation simply can't wait that long. In order to accomplish this arduous task, even the trial expert Jinyi Qianhu is at a loss.

"My lord, there are so many prisoners, I'm afraid I won't be able to end the interrogation in the short term!"

Han Fei understood what Qianhu meant by Jinyi Qianhu, frowned and pondered, and suddenly his heart moved, and said: "Lord Qianhu, let the prisoners report and expose each other, and the interrogation may be completed in a few days!" ”

Jinyi Qianhu was stunned and said: "Prisoners report each other and expose each other? ”

"Yes, those bandits have no morality to each other, and they can't hold back if they give some benefits. For example, if you starve them for a period of time and then tell them that if you report meritorious service and have something to eat, someone will surely be moved. As long as someone makes a start, and gets paid, will anyone else still be able to sit still? ”

Jinyi Qianhu is an expert in adjudicating cases, and after a little thought, he understood the truth, and said admiringly: "My lord is clever, and I admire him very much, so I will do it!" ”

The trial of the case was handed over to Jinyi Mansion, and Han Fei specially guided the victims to return to their hometowns, distributed disaster relief money and food, and supervised the disaster victims to prepare for summer planting.

On this day, the attendant reported, "My lord, the officials dispatched by the imperial court have arrived at the Qin mission!" ”

Han Fei rushed back to Qincha Xingyuan, had a polite exchange with the arriving officials of the prefecture and county, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the criminal officials and White Lotus Sect arrested in the Jinghu area have completed their trial, after all, this case belongs to your jurisdiction, you should read the results of the interrogation, and sign and seal!" ”

The newly arrived officials couldn't figure out Han Fei's intentions, so they just took it as a routine, and they all simply flipped through it, and then signed and sealed.

Han Fei glanced at everyone and shouted, "Come on, escort all the criminals out of the city and pronounce the sentence in public!" Ladies and gentlemen, please come and watch! ”

Hundreds of criminals were escorted out of the open area outside the city by the pro-guard army, and when the people heard the news, they dragged their families and came to watch.

Han Fei publicly enumerated the crimes of corrupt officials and White Lotus cultists, and then made a verdict: the prisoners who committed less serious crimes were either assigned to serve in the army or to serve in the government-run mines, and the main offenders and the leaders of the White Lotus Sect who were particularly serious were sentenced to be beheaded.

Subsequently, Han Fei ordered the guards to arrange the execution ground and prepare for the execution of nearly 100 major criminals in public.

At this time, the former prefect of Yuezhou Mansion shouted loudly: "The surname is Han, you are abusing your power, I am an official of the Sipin Imperial Court, you have no right to kill me!" ”
