At this time, not only will he not repent because of those abuses, but he may also wonder why he couldn't be more greedy in the first place?

"It's not appropriate for him to go to see his father like this." After a long time, looking at Pu Ting, who was hanging rotten vegetable leaves, Qi Changrong said.

"Proper or not, that's it." Ye Quan rubbed his eyebrows, this situation was something he hadn't expected.

But now that the people have walked to the gate of the palace, they can't order Puting to bathe and change clothes, and then meet the saint, right?

As a criminal, the treatment should not be too good, the more embarrassed you are, the better you can atone for your sins.

Thinking of this, everyone was helpless, and a few traces of joy welled up in their hearts.

Wang Zheyan was the most important, and when he walked to Pu Ting's side, the disgust in his eyes was extremely obvious.

He quietly avoided two steps to the side, and said to Ye Quan: "Lord Ye, please escort this criminal to Your Majesty as soon as possible, don't stain our eyes." ”

As we all know, Wang Zheyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has three fears in this life, one is to become the emperor, the second is to offend people, and the third is to be afraid of trouble.

However, being scared doesn't mean you won't do it.

For example, now, with his guts, he still barely dared to step on Pu Ting's face again and again.

Ye Quan responded, and with a cold face, he ordered someone to press Puting into the palace.

The people behind him followed.

The early dynasty has long since dispersed, and there are only a few important ministers left in the Jinluan Palace, among which Yang Yishu and Jiang Bowen are the most conspicuous.

Everyone knows that Pu Ting was picked up by Jiang Bowen, and Yang Yishu regarded Jiang Bowen as a mortal enemy.

At the last moment, for this chess piece, it is impossible to say who wants to protect and who wants to discard.

Therefore, outsiders should only watch the excitement, and on the premise of not affecting the overall situation, the ridicule in their eyes almost drowned out the pillars of the two countries.

Of course, they only dare to watch the excitement behind their backs, and if they unilaterally make trouble in public, I'm afraid no one has the courage to do so.

"The ministers have seen Your Majesty with the sinner Pu Ting."

As Ye Quan spoke, the rest of the people also knelt down in turn.

Emperor Jin An sat firmly on the throne, raised his eyes when he heard the sound, raised his big hand out of thin air, and the deep voice came out.

"Everyone, please be courteous, flat."

So, Ye Quan stood up again, and presented the sealed charges and other evidence together.

In the blink of an eye, only Pu Ting was kneeling on the ground in the Jinluan Palace.

The rest of the people are on two sides, and there is a faint tendency to polarize.

Yuan Yi lowered his head and took it with both hands, and his eyes did not fall on the crime for half a minute, and he presented it to Emperor Jin An steadily.

'Tearing', the seal on the paper bag was torn open by Emperor Jin An.

No one dared to disturb at this time, they all held their breath and waited quietly for Emperor Jin'an's decision.

Emperor Jin An looked very carefully, and it took him a quarter of an hour to read it word by word from a stack of papers.

For a long time, this human emperor was sharp and heavy, and his extremely disappointed gaze fell on Pu Ting.

"Pu Ting, do you have something to say to me?"

The atmosphere of silence in the hall spread, and Pu Ting subconsciously looked in the direction of Jiang Bowen, but saw that the man quickly avoided his gaze and did not look at him at all.

Pu Ting's heart was cold, and he knew that he had completely become a waste chess player with Jiang Bowen.

At this moment, the only thing he can rely on is the illusory promise of the prince of the East Palace.

Pu Ting gritted his teeth, raised his hands high above his head, and then put them on his forehead, knelt down solemnly, and the whole person bowed to the ground, and said in tears:

"The guilty minister was blinded by lard for a while, and committed a heinous crime, and he was entrusted and believed by His Majesty, and he was sorry for the people of Dawn. The criminal knows that his sin is unforgivable, and he hopes that His Majesty will be ruthless, don't break your body because of the sinful minister, if not, the sinner will be unable to escape the blame for his death. ”

"A good one has what I trusted, and a good one is sorry for the people, Pu Ting, are you playing me as a fool, or are all the officials in the court blind?" Emperor Jin An was furious, without the slightest demeanor of a superior, pointing at Pu Ting's nose and scolding: "The crime you committed is not an exaggeration to send you to the hell frying pan, I handed over the household department to you, and you repay my trust like this?" According to the law of our country, you should be slain by a thousand swords! ”

The so-called "thousand cuts" is to use a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, starting from the least lethal part of the body, leaving a knife mark one by one, and the wound is either deep to the bone or ends at the epidermis.

It won't kill you immediately, but it can make people fall into it and suffer from it.

Fear, pain, and many emotions are mixed, and so far, no one has survived a thousand cuts.

Hearing such torture, Pu Ting could no longer maintain his indifference and false remorse, his face shook fiercely, and fear was born from his heart.

Seeing that Emperor Jin An was really angry, as if he was about to lose his mind, Jiang Bowen calmly walked out from the side, gave a salute to Emperor Jin An, and said steadily: "Your Majesty, it is a fact that Pu Ting is guilty, but if you use a thousand knives, it will inevitably cause rumors among the people and seriously hurt the dignity of the royal family, which is not advisable." ”

Jiang Bowen knows Emperor Jin An too well, and the face of the royal family is the death hole of Emperor Jin An.

Hearing this, although Emperor Jin An was still angry, he held back his anger and echoed: "Taishi's words are reasonable, according to what Taishi sees, how to deal with him more appropriately?" ”

"If Pu Ting is willing to tell the whereabouts of the corrupt money and hand it over to atone, Your Majesty will reward him with a whole corpse."

As soon as the words fell, Pu Ting, who had been kneeling on the ground, raised his head suddenly, staring at Jiang Bowen, who seemed to be clean and did not cause dust.

Jiang Bowen didn't seem to notice the resentment in his eyes, and still said slowly: "As for the people of Pufu, there is no need to take their lives, the female dependents of the family can be exiled thousands of miles to the west and filled into the military camp as military prostitutes." ”

"As for men, they can also be exiled to the mines of the Northland and punished as slaves for generations, so that they can not only make a statement to the world and give a satisfactory explanation to the people, but also fulfill the righteousness of Your Majesty and Puting's meager monarchs and ministers."

"What does Your Majesty think?"

After finishing speaking, the people in the Jinluan Hall looked at Jiang Bowen with completely different eyes, some of them were timid, and even involuntarily took a few steps back.

Where is this kindness, it is clearly an unbearable punishment than death.

The wives and concubines of the female relatives of Pufu are all from the official residence of the family, where can they withstand the humiliation of being a military prostitute?

As for the men in Pufu, the assignment of the Northland Mine only delayed their entry into the Underground, who doesn't know the sinister things about the Northland Mine, where people are really inferior to animals.

Pu Ting's hateful teeth trembled, but he didn't dare to speak.

He knew very well that Jiang Bowen was threatening him.

Knowing this, he had nothing to do.

Now the life and death of everyone in Pufu are in the hands of Jiang Bowen, if he wants them to live, even if they are not as good as animals, they can only be humbled to the dust.

Plead, and keep it a secret.

Emperor Jin An paused, as if he was thinking carefully.

After a while, Emperor Jin An nodded: "What the Taishi said is not bad. ”

Even if you don't say it explicitly, smart people know it.

The people in Puting Mansion are probably punished like this.

As he spoke, Emperor Jin asked again: "Where is that dirty silver?" ”

People have already been arrested, what's the use of asking for silver?

Pu Ting took a deep breath, knowing that everyone was waiting for his answer, and hiding it would only add to his annoyance.

So, he replied: "The Tibetan silver was hidden by me in the temple on Wufeng Mountain, just under the golden body seat of the Buddha, there is a secret road, which can go straight to the place where the silver is hidden, but it is ......."

Emperor Jin An glanced at him.

"But what?"

"However, last year, the Tibetan Silver Cave was looted due to an accident, and the damage was quite serious, as for how much was lost, the culprit has not yet had time to calculate."

"Someone!" Hearing this, Emperor Jin An couldn't bear it, and said angrily with his sleeves: "Pu Ting knows the law and violates the law, the crime is heinous, according to the law, he will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon the day after tomorrow!" ”

Cut in the waist, stop the person and cut it off in the waist.

That person will not die immediately, but will slowly go to death in severe pain and despair, which can be called capital punishment.

Since the reign of Emperor Jin An, he has always been based on benevolent governance, and rarely sentenced to capital punishment.

And tonight, he was obviously dizzy by what Pu Ting had done, and sentenced him to be cut in half without thinking.

After hearing the result, Pu Ting's face was full of blood, his face was as pale as white paper, and the despair in his eyes was deeply reflected.

A second before being dragged down again, Pu Ting raised his head sharply and looked eagerly in the direction of Qi Changrong, the deep meaning in his eyes seemed to remind the prince of the East Palace not to forget the transaction between them.

Otherwise......

Otherwise, what could he do?

Probably turned into a ghost and entangled in the world, so that she would not die well.

On the other side, Emperor Jin'an's anger had not subsided: "Ye Quan, you immediately sent someone to raid Puting's home, personally go to the cave of Wufeng Mountain, and take all the monks in the temple into custody, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Prince, the day after tomorrow, you and Jiang Taishi will be beheaded together at the entrance of the vegetable market, if the remnants of Puting's fellow party appear, there will be no forgiveness!"

Ren is Jiang Bowen had a different mind, but he didn't show it on his face, after listening to the order of Emperor Jin An, he immediately received the order, and resolutely separated his position with Pu Ting.

It seems that he has never had a deep friendship with Pu Ting.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong slightly hooked the corners of his lips, lowered his eyes and calmly responded: "Erchen obeys orders." ”

When everyone dispersed after leaving the Jinluan Palace, Jiang Bowen was shocked to realize that the clothes on his back were soaked.

His brows were gloomy, and he gritted his back molars to wipe away all his anger.

Then he stroked his sleeves and strode away.

Ye Quan and Qi Changrong slowed him down, as if they were wandering in their back garden, without the slightest urgency on their faces.

Looking at Jiang Bowen's angry back, a trace of worry crossed Ye Quan's eyes: "I'm afraid that the Taishi will hold a grudge against the East Palace this time." ”

"So what?" Qi Changrong raised her eyebrows indifferently, she had been hiding for a long time, and she had secretly moved so many hands and feet, if Jiang Bowen didn't say anything to her, she would have to wonder if this Jiang Bowen was the other Jiang Bowen.

After all, the Taishi whose means are so superb that he can even deceive himself is not her imagination, but a real existence.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the Taishi will secretly put on small shoes for you?" Ye Quan was very curious.
