Chapter 563: A Human Tragedy
"I know!" Guo Peng nodded.
"Will the emperor allow his ministers to continue to investigate?" Qiu Mei hurriedly raised his head and said hurriedly.
"I said I knew, I mean, I knew their reason, but ......" Guo Peng hesitated, he hadn't talked to Xin Kun about this matter. When they wanted to get the Gao family, they also wanted to make the Liu family unlucky and start with the Gao family. But now, murdering the noble concubine and putting his hand into the palace is a disobedient heart. The worst is the three clans! In this way, Xin Kun didn't dare to say it, and Guo Peng hesitated. What should I do about this? Guo Peng looked at the excerpt, "Both of them are masters of criminal law, tell me, how to deal with the Gao family, how is the highest, what is the lowest?" ”
Qiu Mei wanted to die, he was in Dali Temple, that was because he didn't like the affairs of the court, just now he deliberately said that the case was not closed, that really just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, and the rest, he really didn't think so much, and now the emperor asked about the disposal, he froze, knowing whether the antecedents were no longer important, because the sins they committed were unforgivable.
"Your Majesty, the lightest is the three clans." Of course, the Criminal Department knew what Guo Peng was asking, and did not say the heaviest at all, but the lightest.
"It's a little heavier!" Guo Peng knocked lightly on the table.
"Your Majesty, this can't be lighter, this is the majesty of the royal family." Dali Temple didn't hesitate anymore this time, he believed in the troubled times with heavy classics. Although it is not a troubled time now, but think about it, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the tricks these people play are nothing more than trying to replace them.
Guo Peng also knows that it can't be lighter. After thinking for a while, "The Gao clan is all broken, and their mother and wife are sentenced to death at the age of sixteen, and their wives, daughters, and young sons are removed from their fame!" ”
"Your Majesty!" The criminal department also knelt down, this, this......
"That's it, right? Liu Laoge has been scheming all his life, but he is also a meritorious minister with the country; It's a pity that Xiaoliu Hanlin gave birth to the Liu family by mistake. Guo Peng let out a long sigh. The Liu family is scarce, but the Gao family is a family, and the mother family of the Gao family, there are hundreds of people up and down, "I'm afraid that the capital will be bleeding again." ”
"The emperor is benevolent, but the people of the world will not appreciate it." Dali Temple smiled bitterly, this is his sincere words, really let go of these women and Confucians, twenty years later, who knows if there will be waves again.
"Someone told me that as long as the people are clothed, fed, and covered with tiles, no one will rebel. As long as the people think that I am not a tyrant, I don't care what others think. ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" The two of them knelt down together.
Guo Peng asked someone to come in and draw up the holy decree, but when he picked up the jade seal, he hesitated again, hundreds of mouths! Finally, he pressed down with heavy hands. Raise your head, "The important code of the country must not be abused." It is still necessary to be cautious about the execution of criminals in various localities. ”
"Yes!" The Criminal Department and Dali Temple stand together.
Because it is divided into three families, not three families. Guo Peng clearly wrote in the holy decree, 'The Gao family's crime of murdering the imperial concubine in the palace is unforgivable, the whole family is beheaded, and the family property is confiscated; His mother's wife is sixteen years old, and the boy is decided! ’
The Gao family still has relatives in other places, and the forbidden army also sent a team out of Beijing to arrest them. For a time, there was a wail in the capital. And Liu Gao's party was also rumored for a while, and everyone was in danger.
And the Liu family took the order, and the three generations of men of the Liu family were arrested together. Left a lonely widow, but they know very well that now, it is the best ending.
Of course, there are still some people who are wondering, is there something wrong? The emperor confiscated the Gao family's property, but his wife and mother were arrested except for the sixteen-year-old man, and the family wealth and heirs were retained. Could it be that the emperor was so angry that he forgot what was behind?
The same is true in the prison of Dali Temple, in the prison between the four fathers and sons of the Gao family, the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Liu family are in the cell on their left, although there is a rough wood in the middle, everyone can see each other.
The mother's surname of the Gao family is Liu, and it is not a great family, you must know that the Gao family is from a second-rate family, but the Gao family is outstanding among the Gao family of that generation. Lord Liu felt that the Gao family was about to rise, so his daughter was of the right age, and at that time, it was also a good story. But at that time, the Gao family really didn't have anything to do.
The house on the Liu family's side is almost uninhabitable, and it is all through the wooden fence that they want to reach over to catch the Gao family's father and son. They felt that they were most wronged, and if it weren't for them, how could their whole clan be in such a situation?
And the three members of the Liu family sat up straight, deaf to all the shouts outside.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law!" Lord Gao saw that Lord Liu was busy screaming.
Liu Lao Ge slowly raised his head, looked at Gao Shangshu, and sighed lightly, but did not speak.
Liu Hanlin is not so good-tempered, obviously the family went to guard the mausoleum, he could see the growth of his son, and now, the emperor let his wife and children go, but the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
"Why? It's good to go to guard the mausoleum! Now hundreds of people are dying with you, are you crazy? Liu Hanlin pointed to his uncle and said indignantly.
"Now you know that you blame me, before, which of you didn't take advantage of the name of the concubine?" Seeing that his father-in-law didn't care about him, and he was still pointed out by Qianfu, he also came all the way smoothly, and suddenly became angry.
"Yes, even if we took the name of the concubine and got the benefits, why did you kill her now?" The people from the Liu family yelled at the tall man.
"Haha, haha!" The tall man laughed a little maniacally.
Even Xiao Liuge, who was in a daze, raised his head and looked at his brother-in-law to see what he was laughing at.
"You think that if I kill her, she can live for a few days, and the emperor will find a chance to kill her! It's always going to die, so why can't you do something more for the family? In order to train her, I spent a lot of money, I didn't even have a good son to educate, and I used all the family financial resources to train her, she was born and raised by me, and I created her! I'll kill her, and she'll be able to die more comfortably. ”
"The emperor won't kill her, he thinks the ladies are too pitiful, let's stop bothering them." Lord Koyanagi looked at his crazy brother-in-law coldly, he didn't bother to refute what he said, but he wouldn't let him have such a good time now. What excuse for killing a woman?
Lord Gao was stunned, staring at his eldest brother, they have always been related to each other, even if Master Gao is also a Jinshi who was admitted by himself, and entered the Hanlin Academy, he followed Xiaoliuge all the way according to the path of a civil official, but he and Xiaoliuge Lao did not look at each other, and they hated each other. For so many years, between their uncles and sons-in-law, they are really more ordinary than average. But he believed Xiao Liuge's words, because at this point, no one would lie anymore.
