Chapter 72: Heavy Punishment
"Please also ask Your Highness to let our family leave. Hu Jun is over 30 years old, but because he wants to support his younger brother's family, he has not yet married. And when Jiang Zerui used him, he knew that he was burdened by his family, so it was easier to control.
But I never thought that I would have a day when I was stumped.
The crown prince was held hostage, especially if it was his own commander who held him hostage, and the guards of the East Palace panicked, and they didn't know whether to draw their swords for a while.
Jiang Zerui stabilized his mind and secretly scolded Hu Jun for being brainless. Ever since he was dismissed by his father by Jiang Jingyu's calculations, he knew that Jiang Jingyu had already had the intention of fighting with himself. Now that he is being held hostage, if Jiang Jingyu is ruthless, he will definitely not save himself.
After all, as soon as the crown prince died, the most justifiable replacement for the prince was Jiang Jingyu, the third prince.
"His Royal Highness King Yu. Hu Jun stopped Jiang Jingyu, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good deal in front of you, presumably the emperor will not let you go easily." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Jingyu raised his eyelids lazily, "That king can only hope that you will kill the killer." ”
Jiang Zerui thought that Jiang Jingyu would not save himself, but when he heard him say it, he was still nervous. But he also knew that Jiang Jingyu was a person who didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't want to scold him, but mocked Hu Jun for not having the eyesight.
"Hu Jun, you were picked up by the main hall, what did the high-ranking official Houlu this hall not give you? Now you want to cut off your future with your own hands for the sake of this group of wine bags and rice bags?"
Hu Jun's expression relaxed for a moment, but he quickly recovered, and said firmly: "My subordinates don't ask for high-ranking officials, they just want to be able to leave safely with their families." ”
The two of them on this side were at a stalemate, and on the other side, Shen Xizhi had already arranged for those people to go back to the room, and by the way, he took people to ask them about their origins one by one, and registered them one by one.
"Most of them were sent by their families. She returned to Jiang Jingyu, "Some of them are indeed lonely, but they have a little money in their hands, and they are taken care of by someone in Shantang." It's just that I didn't expect to suffer after paying the money. ”
Jiang Jingyu: "After this incident, the king will arrange for them to go back to their respective homes." According to the law of this dynasty, those who do not support the elderly and do not raise their young children will be severely punished. ”
In this way, Shen Xizhi was a lot more relieved, "In this way, those who are really homeless will be able to have a tile to cover themselves." ”
The atmosphere is harmonious here, and over there, Jiang Zerui is still in a stalemate with Hu Jun.
"Even if the temple releases you today, can you get out of the capital?" Jiang Zerui said to Hu Jun calmly, "Because the palace trusts you, it entrusts you to arrange the affairs of the good hall. This matter will not be settled. ”
"If you get lost, stop the loss in time, and the temple can take it lightly as appropriate. You and your family will still be able to enjoy the family. ”
Hu Jun's hand holding the sword trembled, and a look of struggle appeared in his eyes. He knew that his brain was not very smart, so as soon as he was exposed, the first thing he thought of was to hijack the prince fish and break the net.
But now, Jiang Zerui has given him another choice......
Looking at his family, Hu Jun had mixed feelings in his heart. He has come to this day step by step, all by the promotion of the prince, but his younger brother is useless, and he has to help his own family. Even his father and mother forced themselves to be cattle and horses for his younger brother's family.
He used to complain, but then he felt that it should be so.
"Thank you, Your Highness. ”
Hu Jun believed Jiang Zerui's words, and as soon as the hand holding the sword was released, there was a "clang", and the sword fell to the ground. He walked over to untie Hu Lai, but suddenly saw Hu Lai's expression suddenly become frightened.
Blood bloomed on Hu Jun's chest.
Hu Lai was so frightened that he sobbed and struggled to beg for mercy.
"Put these people in prison. Jiang Zerui commanded.
"The prince is busy preparing for the palace banquet, so it is better to let his courtiers do it for him. ”
Jiang Jingyu, who had been watching the excitement from the side, suddenly spoke.
How could Jiang Zerui not know what he was doing, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to calculate himself.
So he put on a kind smile again, "Isn't the third brother also busy forming a patrol army, how can he be distracted again?"
The two of them hid knives in their words, and no one let anyone.
At this time, a group of eunuchs suddenly appeared at the door, led by Quande.
"Yo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Yu are here, that's great. ”
Quande brought the emperor's dictation.
"Today, the prince has no way to control it, which makes Shantang smoky and resentful, and the people's livelihood is resentful, so he hands over the affairs of Shantang to King Yu to supervise. Anyone who participates in this matter with the Hu family will be punished heavily. ”
The emperor's dictation is here, and no one dares to beak anymore.
So Jiang Zerui once again lost the opportunity to make up for his mistakes. But he had to leave with hatred.
After that, Jiang Jingyu asked the Hu family to be put in prison, the family property was confiscated, and the lease fee they collected was returned to the people.
As soon as the news came out, many people came to see the excitement, and the good hall on this day was very lively.
Those who refused to support the elderly and children and stuffed them into the charity hall not only let them take back their relatives, but also suffered heavy punishments.
Some trivial tasks were handed over to his subordinates to do, and Shen Xizhi asked people to take the old people in the ruined temple and arrange a place for them to live. Dazhu and the dog heard the wind, and after a while, they went back to keep an eye on it.
A few families are happy and a few are sad.
Jiang Zerui wanted to make up for the matter as soon as possible, but the emperor refused to see him at all, and was determined to make him suffer.
The Zhou family was as gloomy as the East Palace at this time. They didn't dare not accept the things sent by King Yu's Mansion, but they wanted Zhou Zhuo to go to King Yu's Mansion to apologize, and the Zhou family's father and son couldn't pull their faces.
And if King Yu asked someone to take it, he clearly wanted to drag the fifth princess Jiang Zhen into the water.
In this way, the situation in the capital has become turbulent unconsciously.
"Dad, I don't want to go! I'm not wrong, I don't know that she is Princess Yu! A woman, going to enjoy the scenery alone, obviously wants to meet a lover, that Pei Cen must be ......"
"Bastard, still can't stop talking?" Lord Zhou has been high all his life, but he doesn't know why there is such a son who is full of ruffians.
Mrs. Zhou said distressedly on the side: "Zhuo'er has become like this, can't you let him say a few words? I don't look at that Princess Yu like a good thing." Haven't you heard it? Those rumors outside have caused a storm, and it is because of her that Zhuo'er's reputation has been damaged. ”
"He? He did it to himself! Do you know what those things mean? Dare to go against King Yu's mansion, what do you think ordinary people dare to do?" Zhou Da was so angry that his liver hurt, "King Yu has now calculated that the prince has lost power, and you still think he is just a useless person?"
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Zhou put down the medicine bowl heavily, "Zhuo'er was killed by Princess Yu, and now King Yu also asked Zhuo'er to come to the door to apologize." If I want to go to you, I can't bear Zhuo'er to lose face!"
"And Zhuo'er has been dying repeatedly, and she can't get rid of the relationship with the fifth princess, you can actually endure it, what a coward!"
