Chapter 738: A Road to the Dark
Ling Tiancheng's "oh" was very long, and it was very loud, louder than when he asked Huang Yuan just now.
So he successfully called Huang Yuan, who was about to fall asleep standing on, back again.
Lord Huang came to his senses with a cleverness, and was busy rubbing his eyes with his sleeves first, and then when he looked up, he saw Ling Tiancheng sitting on it, looking at him with a very deep look.
Huang Yuan's heart suddenly became a little chaotic.
For a moment, he even wondered if what he had just said was something he shouldn't have said by accident.
He tried to recall his previous words first, but before he could figure it out, he heard Ling Tiancheng ask again: "Huang Xian Ling is usually very busy, and he has even practiced the ability to sleep standing up." ”
This is obviously different from what they said before, and it is a bit of a blame.
No matter how arrogant Huang Yuan was, he couldn't act against Ling Tiancheng like Ouyang Huai at that time.
Their situation is different.
Ouyang Huai in Song'an County is obviously more snobbish than Huang Yuan, and he is more favored by the third princess, he dares to treat Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan like that, because they expected that these two people can't go back, and for the dead, no matter how much power they had in their lifetime, it was all for nothing.
But Huang Yuan doesn't have so much courage.
He is just a very small county in the hands of the third princess, and he usually sells dirty, big core things, they can't touch them at all.
Of course, the weight of money has nothing to do with him.
Before arresting Jia Mingyuan, Huang Yuan didn't know that the current emperor had arrived in the northwest.
And all his actions are done according to the instructions from above.
But Ling Tiancheng suddenly arrived in Fengning County, the Son of Heaven, so close to him, Huang Yuan suddenly thought of the minister who was sent to them by the Son of Heaven.
Jia Mingyuan's case, in their place, is led by him, he can handle it however he wants, and he can detain any crime he wants.
No one here dared to come out to question him, and even the Tang adults who came from the capital couldn't do anything about him, not to mention that they couldn't find evidence for a while, even if they did, he had no real power, and the emperor was far away from the mountains here, so he could still turn over the sky?
Besides, Jia Mingyuan is actually in his hands now.
Anyway, the crime has already been charged, and the person is in his hands, so he can't do it, so he will kill the person first, and casually give him a fear of crime and commit suicide, and the matter will be over.
But as soon as Ling Tiancheng came, this matter would be different, unless Huang Yuan had the intention of killing him, otherwise he would be afraid of him in his heart.
Does he have the heart to kill the current emperor?
Huang Yuan pinched his sweat in vain, his eyes quietly glanced at Ling Tiancheng, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze in fright.
He doesn't even dare to look at him now, how can he still have the heart to kill him, even if he has, can he succeed?
Thinking about it like this, even his legs were weak, and he knelt down directly.
I had stood for so long, and I had already stood until I doubted my life, but now I knelt on the cold floor, and my two knees seemed to be broken, and the feeling of soreness and pain went straight from my legs to my heart, and Huang Yuan, who was scratching, was not uncomfortable.
"The Emperor...... The Emperor ......"
He didn't finish a word, Ling Tiancheng spoke first: "Huang Yuan, as the county magistrate of Fengning County, Lord Qincha came here and committed such a big thing, not only did you not notice, but you didn't even catch anyone, are you guilty?" ”
Huang Yuan: "......"
Can he say that people are already in his hands now?
No, as long as he confesses Jia Mingyuan
Come out, this person is bound to be transferred to Ling Tiancheng's hands, and when the time comes, he will be able to give up the initiative as well, then this case, he has tossed it for so long, and the most important thing is not that he has the final say.
Huang Yuan lowered his head, his face was like a thousand-year-old bitter gourd, but his voice was still well controlled: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, Weichen deserves to die." ”
Ling Tiancheng: "Okay, even you said it yourself, then go to death, Lao Lu, you take him out, cut him with a knife, while the snow is not much thick now, it should be able to dig a pit and bury it." ”
He said it was relaxed and very casual, as if to say, the weather is nice today, and it is as simple as taking you out for a walk.
So much so that Huang Yuan didn't react at first, until he heard the old road "yes", he suddenly raised his head, and then saw that the stout man, holding a big knife in his hand, had already walked towards him.
Huang Yuan was so frightened that he almost peed his pants on the spot, and the people who were standing or crooked next to him also woke up in fright, looking at Huang Yuan kneeling on the ground in a daze, and the emperor sitting on it, they didn't know what happened for a while.
Ling Tiancheng didn't say much, he just looked at Huang Yuan, his eyes were colder than the snow outside.
Huang Yuan wailed, and the person fell to the ground instantly: "Your Majesty...... The emperor spares his life! ”
His tears and snot came out together, and the person was awake in an instant.
If he continues to be confused, his head will fall to the ground, and at this critical moment, Huang Yuan simply doesn't know how to describe his mood.
But Ling Tiancheng, who was sitting in the first place, was leisurely and calm, and said unhurriedly: "Huang Yuan, it was you who said that you didn't do your errand well, and you deserve death, I am fulfilling you now, why do you still ask for forgiveness." ”
Huang Yuan stammered, pitifully not knowing what else he could say.
And those who didn't know why, but were also scared to kneel on the ground, looked at him with eyes.
To be honest, don't look at so many people here, there are really few people who heard anything about Ling Tiancheng and Huang Yuan just now.
The three souls that they were all trapped and lost their seven souls, and when they could fall asleep while standing, they suddenly saw Huang Yuan like this at this time, and instinctively knelt down again, but no one knew why they knelt and what happened in the middle.
The only sober person is afraid that only Huang Yuan is afraid.
It was about his own life, he quickly straightened out his thoughts, and his voice stabilized: "It was Wechen's fault that he didn't catch the murderer, Wechen can't tell the difference, but that person killed someone in Fengning County, and now he is absconding, in order not to force him to commit murder again, Wechen must arrest him back." ”
Ling Tiancheng seemed to agree with his words, and nodded.
It's just that before Huang Yuan could breathe a sigh of relief, his later words came out again: "You just have to take your guilt, you should go to prison, you should die and die, and I will naturally arrange for others to catch people." ”
Huang Yuan: "......"
What kind of dog emperor is this mother, can't you understand human words?
He obviously wanted to atone for his crimes, and he obviously wanted him to spare his life, at least he had to get out of here today......
Huang Yuan couldn't find the right words to describe his mood at this time.
And Ling Tiancheng is still the same, this is what you said, it was your own choice, I didn't do anything.
The officials present in a daze didn't know what was going on, and only watched Lord Huang's face turn from blue to white, and then from white to colorless.
Fengning County is not easy to manage, but compared to Song'an County, it is too easy to manage.
All the people in Song'an County are Ouyang Huai's, and if you see a shop on the street, he asked someone to open it, and those people too
They all listened to him.
But only half of the people in Fengning County listen to Huang Yuan, and the other half are only oppressed, which is a big difference in nature.
So that morning, when the magistrates came out of the hotel, braved the biting cold wind, carried their hungry empty stomachs, and walked to their own mansion, the Huang family's family did not wait for their masters.
Ling Tiancheng directly detained him in the hotel.
If you want to go to jail, if you want to die, of course, the sooner the better.
Huang Yuan's carefully prepared mansion turned out to be the cell he had prepared for himself.
Lao Lu specially chose a nice room for him, in the backyard, and there was nothing in it.
Yes, there was nothing, no furniture, no tables, chairs and beds, not even a place to sit.
The inside was empty, so empty that there was not even any window paper, so the cold wind blew in from the outside, and the snowflakes passed over the lattice window lattice, leaving a small grid of white on the ground.
As soon as Huang Yuan entered, he felt that it was a little colder here than outside, and the four walls seemed to be frozen into ice, of course, as soon as he came in, he immediately became ice.
There is nowhere to sit and nowhere to stand, it is not as good as the cell in their county office, at least there is some dry grass there, and there is still some warmth in such a cold day.
The scariest thing is that there is still an old road guarding outside.
Early in the morning, Lao Lu brought a bowl of hot broth from the kitchen, and drank it "sizzling" while checking whether he was honest from the window.
He is a rough man, he is not so particular about eating, and he makes all kinds of strange noises.
The bowl of broth was put into the bowl as soon as it got out of the pot, and he drank it while blowing, and the sound was very loud, making Huang Yuan, who was hungry from day to night, and from night to dawn, listen to Huang Yuan's stomach.
The point is that the guy was not conscious at all, drank a bowl, went to serve another bowl, and this time added two steamed buns, he hummed a little song, and squatted down the window.
When Ling Tiancheng and the others didn't come to Fengning County, or after Jia Mingyuan and them came, Huang Yuan didn't expect his own ending.
In fact, they have embarked on this road and have long planned for their future.
Unless the three princesses really became famous in a war like many years ago, and really knocked down the northwest, then they will all become the founding heroes.
Of course, the third princess also said this to them.
But these old oilmen in the officialdom all have abacus in their stomachs, and they are only in this place, and Ling Tiancheng didn't care about it in the past, so they let the third princess strike first.
But once the emperor really noticed this.
Can the three princesses still win?
If she can't win, if she loses, if these small states and counties return to the hands of the imperial court, someone will definitely come to investigate their affairs at that time.
When there was a drought in the northwest, Huang Yuan knew that something was going to go wrong.
In fact, there were droughts in previous years, and the emperor would also send people to come to relieve the disaster, but many of the ministers sent would be bribed by them.
In the end, of course, the officials protected each other, and went back to present a perfect performance to the court, and the matter was over.
But this time, Ling Tiancheng even sent someone from the Ministry of Works, and he also got a messenger from Leng Touqing.
After Jia Mingyuan came, he didn't even say hello to these magistrates, and began to sort out the victims dozens of miles away.
From that time on, Huang Yuan knew that the matter was about to end.
But they had already come to this road, and now there was no chance to jump ship, and he could not jump, so they could only go to the dark together.
