Chapter 140: The Might of an Adult
I teach pointy dancing in the yard.
"T-shaped step, the center of gravity is placed on the ball of the front foot. Clamp your legs and turn them apart. Pay attention to the breath, try to inhale with the dantian, and exhale a little bit. Okay, hold on. ”
I walked around it: "Yes, it's getting more and more meridian." ”
It now looks a bit like a peacock, with feathers on its tail and wings, and when it shakes its body, it picks up fluffy snow.
Aunt Mei muttered: "I think you still have too few window classes, and you play with chickens more than with people." ”
Then she dragged me into the house and changed my clothes: "I got a notice, and the internal government bureau meeting was announced." Those who are registered, and those who are not worthy of value, shall go. ”
This red and white palace maid's uniform has not been worn for a long time, and now I don't know how Aunt Mei has washed it, and the color is much whiter and brighter.
Aunt Mei changed into the same cyan robe as Grandma Liu of Qingluan Palace. Wearing cyan and blue shows a low rank, but the robe also shows identity.
Although they do not have official positions, they are respected.
At this meeting of the Internal Bureau, even the rough envoy palace maid of the Yuechi Courtyard went. This is the first time that such a big battle has been completed.
Crowds of people crowded in the compound of the Internal Bureau, and the voices of the people were boiling.
In front of the main hall of the Inner Bureau, on the steps, in the center, on the left and right, there are three valuable circle chairs. Especially in the middle, the most extreme is bullying.
Female official Fengyi maintained order and led everyone to stand in line. The scale of the Taiji Hall is generally the same, and they are all divided into left and right stations.
I'm standing on the right, fourth row, and I'm on the left, and my line of sight is acceptable.
There are less than forty people in each row, and the uniforms of Yishui are all in order. Looking back at it, there were more than a dozen rows of people's heads, dense layers, straight to the south wall of the compound of the Internal Bureau.
Inside and outside the gate, there are guards. Before and after the queue, the eunuchs were neat. One by one, they stood straight and looked serious.
A sense of oppression arises spontaneously, and today's conference may not be simple.
The audience was silent, and after standing for a while, the female official Fengyi announced loudly: "Lord Neisi, Master Zuoji." ”
Then, my aunt walked out of the hall in her purple jewel-inlaid jeweled official uniform, with her eyes high and her demeanor.
Zhong Zuosi and Lin Zuosi, who followed her, looked much bleaker at the moment.
The aunt had a steady gait and slowly sat down. After they were seated, the two masters sat down on the left and right. The waitress in charge of the minutes of the meeting sat silently on the small table beside her, and her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were ready.
All of them saluted and said well. Then, the scene was quiet and you could hear a needle fall to the ground.
I secretly raised my eyes to look, and saw that my aunt was full of charm and sharp edge. She was a little late, and after tasting everyone's respect, Fang raised her hand slightly: "No courtesy." ”
Everyone shouted in unison: "Lord Xie Neisi." ”
Such a full official authority makes me suspect for a moment, is this my aunt??
My aunt said: "This quarter has passed the halfway point, and this in-bureau meeting, Zhao Er and others will come, one is to summarize and summarize, as a strong soldier, and use it to practice." This is for the sake of rectifying the Lun Ji. Recently, various ministries have sent envoys, and there are many mistakes. People who are superficial, *****, those who use power for personal gain, those who conceal their superiors and deceive their subordinates, and so on, are all there. Today, we must put an end to these unhealthy tendencies. ”
My aunt rolled her eyes slightly: "Zhong Zuosi." ”
Zhong Zuosi was instructed, picked up a few documents, got up and made a report with the group on the system implemented by the management and the effectiveness of the new policy.
Then, the female officials in charge of the palaces of the harem, the female officials in charge of the various provinces and ministries, and the six Shanggong Bureaus made debriefing reports one by one.
It takes a long time and is tedious to listen to.
I was already wandering outside the object, and was about to ask someone to make a deck of playing cards to play, when I heard Qin Fengyi's words: "Bring people up!" ”
The crowd that was originally facing forward now turned to the left and right. I turned around and saw two dirty women being taken down the steps.
After looking carefully, I barely recognized that one of them turned out to be Mr. He!
She had been detained for three months, her face covered in dirt, and her hair was half-clinged to her head like a rotten cloth.
It seems that today is to be judged in public.
Then Qin Fengyi counted the crimes of the two. Mr. He's crime of indirectly causing damage to the dragon's body by raising caracals has long been well known. And the other woman who was convicted was the grandmother of Ziyun Pavilion Wu Zhaorong who entered the palace to accompany the birth.
The so-called conclusive evidence has made her intention to poison the emperor's heir with red persimmond fruit an ironclad case.
She looked indifferent, as if she understood all this, and it was futile to distinguish between shouting grievances.
The crime was announced, and Qin Fengyi's respectful aunt replied: "The charges of the two have been drawn, and the Lord of the Inner Division is also requested to adjudicate." ”
My aunt was upright and said two words sonorously: "Kill with a cane!" ”
As she said this, her wings shook as a result. Her face did not change color, and a drop of ice water fell in my heart, and tears fell.
The eunuchs came from behind, and the two executioners held their staffs. Those two wooden canes are as long as a man's shoulders from the ground to them, and their arms are so thick!
I even think that when the rod comes down, people will die.
Then the chief manager He was held in his arms and pressed to the ground. When she was dying, she was still unconvinced, and shouted hysterically: "There are many filthy palaces!" Su Xiao, you slut, don't think I don't know......"
My aunt's eyebrows were upside down, and she slapped her palm on the armrest of the circle chair: "Palm mouth!" ”
Then a wooden stick swept into the mouth of Manager He, and her unfinished words were beaten to an abrupt end! In an instant, blood splattered, nosebleeds and knocked out teeth all over the ground!
I quickly covered my mouth, and the audience was secretly exclaiming.
Manager He was hit hard, the whole person was stunned for a moment, and after waking up, he still refused to die, lying on the ground and looking for her teeth, whimpering and babbling, but no words could be heard clearly.
The eunuchs lifted her arm again, and then the executioner lifted the staff above his head and pulled it off with all his might. The pitch-red staff turned into a sturdy python at this time!
A loud sound, a wail.
The sound of the rod hitting the body was terrifyingly tight, even mixed with the sound of bones being shattered!
It seems that in order to make an example of killing chickens and monkeys to the extreme, it is not a double cane, but a slow cane and a cane. Start with the legs, step by step, and hit until you reach the waist.
There is no life under the stick, and you will not be able to live if you die.
Thirty rods went down, and two pools of blood on the ground, one in front of the other and one in the back, converged together, flowing irregularly in all directions......
After probing and completely out of breath, as Ah Qiu said, he dragged his legs to the broken mat on the side, and was carried away in a roll.
The other woman who was waiting for the torture on the side was already a little stunned when she saw the whole process.
When he was dragged to the ground, he was in a trance and silent.
I don't want to overdo it, I can't bear to look at it anymore.
Probably the person in charge of the punishment also knew that she was wronged, and his men were merciful, and they quickly killed her, and when they hit her with the third rod, they were silent.
My eyes were hazy with tears, and when I looked back at her, I had been swept into the mat, and the death was much more peaceful than that of Mr. He.
It's over, can you let us go?
I looked at my aunt, who read the picture in front of the court with a hint of relief, but not with a hint of an end.
"Lady Niangniang."
Listening to a shout at the gate of the Internal Bureau, half of the queen's dependence entered the door.
Several adults immediately stood up, and everyone knelt on the ground and saluted. The blood-stained ground was also sprinkled with plant ash.
The lady lady came dressed up today, and the row was considerable. She also walked to the high seat in a radiant manner, and her aunt respectfully helped her into the high seat.
The palace ladies brought out another chair and placed it next to the right hand of the concubine, and the aunt sat down.
Concubine Shu said: "I heard about today's internal official bureau meeting, and the palace also came to take a look at it to see if the various ministries are in order and abide by the rules and regulations under the rule of the palace." ”
"Suneisi, where is the accountability for the recent mistakes of various ministries?"
The aunt replied respectfully: "Back to the mother, it's time to inquire about the account room and the Fude Palace." ”
Concubine Shu nodded: "Okay." ”
Qin Fengyi immediately announced: "Tang Si's account, Liu's account, Yan's account, where are the three?" ”
Then the three of them went out and knelt down in the court.
Ah Qiu is amazing, and this time there is her again.
My aunt's tone was serious: "Tang Sijiao, you are the head of the account, and you are the most responsible." Of the monthly silver allocated to the palace this month, two hundred and sixty taels are false. You don't know the details and want to prevaricate, but I'm afraid that the palace rules won't allow it. ”
"After returning to the palace after the official Xiu Mu ended, he has ordered the palace chief to vigorously review it, and it has been determined that the omission is not in the Shaofu. In this case, it must be the person who has your account to fill his pocket! ”
That Tang Sishu is in his twenties, short and concise. At this time, he tried to suppress his anxiety, and his speech was inevitably a little flustered: "Back to Concubine Shu, Lord Neisi." The lower official is wronged! ”
"Xiaguan has always received the silver money allocated by the Shaofu according to the old practice, and only counted it, and only allocated it when the palaces were served. During this time, the silver taels in the treasury were not moved. Maybe...... It's the guards in charge of transportation, guarding and stealing! ”
She took a long breath and her eyes slipped from side to side twice: "Also, there is one more doubt." On the seventh day of the eighth month, Yan Si's account took three hundred taels. Sent a note to the book - according to the instructions, winter is coming, purchase a batch of chilblain plasters for the rough palace maids, so as not to delay the work. Xu Yes, Xu Yes Yan Si took this opportunity to move his crooked heart, and I don't know! ”
My aunt's eyebrows were furious.
And Lin Zuosi was the first to speak: "Bold! If there is no evidence, you know that this is a crime of slander! ”
My heart is full of excitement, three hundred taels? Ah Qiu Qiandu said, can't you count the three hundred taels?
Ah Qiu was stunned, panicked, and kowtowed to the ground: "Concubine Shu, adults ......"
But after saying that, he was stopped by his aunt: "Shut up!" Haven't asked you yet. ”
Ah Qiu stopped his voice and knelt silently with tears in his eyes.
My aunt asked Xiang Tang Sijiao: "What else?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
Tang Si accounted for a look at the expressions of everyone sitting on the high seat, and plucked up the courage to say: "The accounts are clear, and Yan Si has spent three hundred taels. Now the ointment purchased is gone, and the money is gone. ”
She pretended to sigh: "A small thing like chilblain cream, if it drags on for a while, maybe everyone should forget about it." ”
What's more, after she opened the silver vault this time, there was a fake silver thing. Originally, only one person could enter this silver treasury, but it wasn't until Yan Si's account was transferred that one more person had this right. ”
Lin Zuosi said: "Oh? Tang Si account means that Yan Si account not only set up a name, but also embezzled three hundred taels. and exchanged the fake for the real, and stole another two hundred and sixty taels. But what does that mean? ”
Tang Sijiao nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, the lower official really means this!" ”
Then Lin Zuosi said to Concubine Shu: "Yu Niangniang, this little account from the five products of the division, is it actually a bear heart leopard guts?" Dare to embezzle more than 500 taels by one person, it is ......"
I understand that someone has set up a game, and the ultimate target to attack is my aunt. I looked at my aunt's expression, she had been listening silently, observing, and still calm.
Concubine Shu raised her eyes, her white neck twisted, white and dazzling.
"What can't it be?"
Lin Zuosi blinked his eyes twice and smiled lightly: "Could it be that someone is behind the instigation, causing this kid not to dare to disobey?" ”
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, and her skin began to rise: "Yan Sijiao, can you be coerced?" If you invite you truthfully, this palace can count your merits and demerits to offset your demerits, and also read it for your former service to this palace, and forgive you innocence! ”
Hmmm————
Everyone's eyes looked at Ah Qiu.
There is a thorn in my heart, look at my aunt, look at Aqiu.
My aunt stared at Ah Qiu coldly, and I couldn't tell what kind of look I had. Expectation, sadness, trust, worry, understanding, devouring...... There's a little bit of everything. No more, no less, must be gnawing at my aunt's heart.
That kind of pain, the slightest wisp.
And I was like being on a fragile bamboo raft, and I felt that if I moved a little, I should have sunk......
