Xin Yi didn't be polite to Fu Jiuqu, she was so cold that the snot bubbles were about to freeze out, so she took the cloak and wrapped it around her.

However, Fu Jiuqu is too tall, and he wears this cloak chicly, and when it comes to her body, it is like a child stealing an adult's clothes.

"Ah...... Ahh ”

The two of them whispered as if nothing had happened, as if they had forgotten all the people on the street, and this action directly caused the street to be silent for a long time.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous. A prisoner dressed in prison clothes actually put on the clothes of the county king. Isn't this a joke for the people to see? ”

Zhang Yaozhuo couldn't wait to jump up and instigate the emperor, and he kept fanning the flames, so he had to take the opportunity to force Zhao Guan's family to solve Fu Jiuqu.

"Official." Cao Yi walked over from the side and saluted Zhao Zhen, "The minister has something to say." ”

Zhao Zhen had a headache, "What do you want to say?" ”

Cao Yi's gaze swept across the street coldly, "Of course, there is something wrong with the King of Guangling, but the reason is that Lord Zhang connived at his subordinates to kill people on the street, which aroused the anger of the King of Guangling County and complained about Zhang Duyu. ”

Zhao Zhen's brows moved, but he didn't speak.

Cao Yi continued: "Weichen thinks that there is a sequence of things, and there is a severity of the crime. If it weren't for Lord Zhang's murder first, the king of Guangling County would not be annoyed, and then he was angry when he was arrested, and slashed the prisoner car, which led to this farce. If you talk about the severity of the crime, it is naturally Lord Zhang who is heavy, and the king of Guangling County is light. ”

"Really?" Zhao Zhen looked sideways.

Anyone can hear that Cao Yi's statement directly denied Fu Jiuqu's subjective intention to rob prisoners, and directly turned out that Fu Jiuqu was in the process of upholding justice and arresting the murderer, but he was aroused by Zhang Yaozhuo, so he accidentally cut down the prisoner car, and there was never a word of robbing prisoners......

Xin Yi suddenly felt that Cao Yi was extremely tall and powerful, and threw a grateful glance at him.

Zhang Yaozhuo was so angry that there was fire on the roots of his teeth, and he immediately argued.

Every word you say to me makes Zhao Zhen's head big.

"You guys, one is more powerful than the other."

The courtiers attacked each other, and the most difficult thing was him, the emperor.

For a while, Zhao Zhen's fire also came up.

"Look at yourselves, see what yourselves look like? You, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, the presiding capital, the parents and officials of the people of Bianjing, in front of the people, rolled all over the ground, black yarn fell to the ground, embarrassed like a dog.

You, the king of Guangling County, my nephew, the palace guard, the close minister of the Son of Heaven, are in charge of my imperial city defense, you can call the shots, you are the closest person to me, I have handed over all the heads of the people on the neck to you, look at you, what have you done? Outside the Xuande Gate, on the royal street, the street is robbing people......"

Silence everywhere.

Zhao Guanjia is a benevolent and gentle emperor, even if he has been an official for many years, he rarely sees him so angry.

That's not all, after Zhao Zhen scolded Zhang Yaozhuo and Fu Jiuqu, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Cao Yi.

"And you, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, my brother-in-law, when the fourth rank of the court, the commander of the front division of the palace, the commander of the infantry and cavalry, the power is great, and the clouds and rain are turned in the forbidden army...... You told me what you were going to do with so many forbidden troops today? ”

"You, you, which of you is not a person I trust, and which one of you is not my important minister? I promised you high-ranking officials to be generous and put the well-being of the Great Song Dynasty and the people into your hands, how did you repay me? ”

"You are now like the vultures hovering in the sky, grabbing people's heads, grabbing territory, fighting for fame and fortune, and you only have your people and the people you care about in your mind, and you are eager to rip a piece of meat from my heart and chew it into your stomach. Do you still have me in your eyes, and the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Look at the people on this long street, they are all looking at you!"

Zhao Zhen stood on the emperor's chariot and raised his bright yellow sleeve robe and danced high.

The crowd on the street was silent.

"I know that all of you are not satisfied with me, you all have complaints, this requires me like this, that requires me like that, what I want to do, you don't want me to do anything, I can't make you satisfied. Yes, I am not the Taizu Taizong, I don't have great achievements, I don't have the ability to expand the territory, I can't control you. In your eyes, I am a deaf and incompetent emperor. ”

"However, I want to tell you today that I have the Great Song Dynasty in my heart, I am guarding the foundation of my ancestors, I can't open up the territory, I can't open up the land, and I can't open peace for all generations, I want to work well with my ministers to guard this fertile land, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can live a good life, have meat to eat, clothes to wear, and three meals without worrying about food and clothing in all seasons......"

"I hate it, I hate you for forming gangs, fighting against each other, attacking each other, excluding dissidents, participating in this and that in front of me all day long, that, enough! I've heard enough! ”

The wrath of the Son of Heaven, the mountains and rivers can be flattened.

For a moment, dark clouds piled up, obscuring the blazing sun.

The howling north wind swept across the royal street, hovering overhead, invading the muscles and bones, as if there was a cold murderous aura condensing.

The people held their breath and remained motionless.

The officials clamped their tails, and they didn't dare to come out.

Xin Yi suddenly had the feeling that he was watching a blockbuster.

"Official." The chamberlain stepped forward cautiously and held Zhao Zhen: "It's windy outside, and the official family will go back to ......."

Zhao Zhen threw off his sleeves.

These words have been held back in his heart for too long, shouting out, scolding, and a little bit of joy in the heaviness.

It's yelled out, scolded out of pleasure!

"You give me a good thought, think about it, how I should punish you today, how should I punish you!"

"Officials, officials, and ministers are guilty." Zhang Yaozhuo wiped his face with his sleeves and began to kneel on the ground and cry miserably.

Zhao Zhen ignored him, his gaze skimmed over everyone, and finally landed on Fu Jiuqu's face.

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his head slightly, colliding with Zhao Zhen's gaze in the air.

Zhao Zhen's generous statement sounded like he was scolding him, but he was actually protecting him. Zhao Zhen took everyone out and scolded him, even he didn't let him go, but he invisibly weakened Fu Jiuqu's robbery on the street, making this originally separate crime a common responsibility of the courtiers.

Fu Jiuqu looked at Zhao Zhen's haggard face and slowly spoke.

"The minister confesses the punishment, and the rod is fifty, and the buttocks are twelve rods...... Double execution. The sister-in-law's cane punishment was received by the minister. ”

There was an uproar in all directions.

Double, equal to a hundred rods, and twenty-four rods.

You must know that if it were not for the heinous crime, it would not be a rod to officials and scholars.

The so-called buttock cane refers to the execution of stripped pants and spanking of the buttocks. This will not only make the torture harder and more painful, but it will also be a physical humiliation for the victim. Among them, the more ruthless is like Xin Yi, who was dragged to the street to be executed in the cold winter, and beaten in full view of everyone.

The average person can't stand such humiliation.

The king of Guangling County robbed prisoners and robbed people, and it was because of this.

Xin Yi didn't fully understand the hip cane, thinking it was just a spanking of the buttocks, but she didn't know how, but even so, she was still shocked.

"Fu Jiuqu, you can't stand it......"

She was blindfolded, and she even called him by name and surname.

Fu Jiuqu: "Shut up!" ”

“……”

Zhao Zhen snorted heavily, looking at Fu Jiuqu's stubborn face, knowing that he had made up his mind to protect that woman. But as soon as his words came out, Fu Jiuqu took the punishment on his own, so he didn't say much, and turned to look at Zhang Yaozhuo, who was lying on the ground and pleading guilty.

"What about you? Conniving at subordinates to commit murder on the street, you say, how should I punish you? ”

Zhang Yaozhuo was so frightened that his forehead was dripping with sweat.

He is not a martial arts practitioner, and at this age, how can he bear such a heavy cane punishment like Fu Jiuqu?

"Officials, officials, ministers, these old bones, don't beat it......"

"Huh." Zhao Zhen smiled lowly, and Zhang Yaozhuo suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, then I heard him say lukewarmly: "Cane punishment without beating? Then you can choose between the exile, the stream, or the death penalty. ”

Death in vain?

He's afraid of any of them.

I knew that this disaster would fall on my head, so why be aggressive?

"Official, official......"

Zhang Yaozhuo made a five-body throw, his body bowed to the ground, his shoulders trembled, and he begged for mercy with a sob.

"Choose." Zhao Zhen's voice was calm, but there was no room for negotiation.

Zhang Yaozhuo knew that the official family must sacrifice him to heaven today, and no one could save him.

"The minister admits punishment."

"How is it punished?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"And, the same as the King of Guangling. Fifty rods, twelve hip rods. ”

"Good. You can say that again! ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he slowly sat back on the emperor's chariot, rubbed the armrest with his hand for a moment, and his voice suddenly became a little gentler, just like the usual discussions of monarchs and ministers, and sighed.

"I'm glad you two realized your mistakes. The king of Guangling County blocked the road and robbed the prisoners, ignoring the laws of his ancestors, but there are extenuating circumstances. The so-called people do not stand without faith, and those who have no faith do not know what they can do, a person values promises, righteousness is thin and cloudy, that is benevolence and righteousness, is turbid water and clear stream, and cannot be killed with a pole.

"And you, although you are really stupid because you are not strict in control, which led to a tragedy, but thinking of your advanced age, you should be punished lightly.

"Everyone listens to the order, the king of Guangling County and Zhang Quan know that they have their own rights and wrongs, and the two of them each hit fifty boards to show punishment, and this matter will end here, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future."

He said the good and the bad, and he used both grace and power, both at the same time.

Obviously, the notes and conversations of the Funing Hall that day, Zhao Guan's family listened to them.

The corners of Fu Jiuqu's lips lifted slightly, and he bowed down.

"The officials are benevolent and fair. Wechen is willing to accept the punishment. ”

Zhang Yaozhuo's teeth were about to be broken.

What kind of justice is this?

Fu Jiuqu's more than 100 canes have become 50 boards, he is young and strong, isn't he just scratching an itch?

But what can he say now? Refusing to admit punishment? Oh, according to the previous plan, he still has to be stripped naked and spanked.

Zhang Yaozhuo couldn't say anything, and he breathed with tears...... No, swallow it with tears.

"Punishment for the ministers."

After a pause, he raised his head, "Official, what should I do with that little lady?" ”

There was a murmur of chatter all around.

Zhao Guanjia was silent for a moment, and his gaze swept to Xin Yi, who was still protected by Fu Jiuqu's side.

"Since the cause of the case is unclear and there are other reasons, then we will wait for the investigation and then the verdict."

Fortunately, at least he didn't release him directly, Zhang Yaozhuo felt that he didn't suffer a loss, and even won it.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he listened to Zhao Guanjia say slowly: "Kaifeng Mansion manages prison lawsuits, household rents, and is in charge of the people's livelihood, and there are many miscellaneous matters of chicken and dog thieves, and the water ghost case involves the medical officials of the Hanlin Academy, and the cause of the case is as detailed as possible, from now on, it will be transferred to the Imperial City Division for investigation and handling." ”

Yes?

Zhang Yaozhuo seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and suddenly felt cold.

The basin of cold water also suddenly woke him up.

Zhang Yaozhuo found that he had lost completely.

From the moment he walked out of Kaifeng Mansion with the prisoner car, he had already fallen into the trap carefully dug by Fu Jiuqu.

Every step is in Fu Jiuqu's calculations.

The blind fortune-teller and the pretending to rob the prisoner were all Fu Jiuqu's conspiracy, and Zhao Guanjia was angry on the surface, but in fact he was climbing up the ladder handed by Fu Jiuqu, taking the opportunity to beat him.

At the same time, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

It was he and Fu Jiuqu who were killed, but it was the Manchu civil and military who set an example, especially the civil official group who liked to point at the official nose and point at the country. Let them see clearly whose world the Great Song Dynasty is, and from then on they will restrain their claws and make less trouble in the court.

Presumably at this time, what happened on the royal street has spread to the ears of everyone who has a heart, and in the future, they will have to weigh and weigh how they behave and do things, don't always think that the official family can be unscrupulous. Even Fu Jiuqu and Zhang Yaozhuo have killed them, who else can't fight?

Wonderful!

Zhang Yaozhuo laughed angrily.

Fu Jiuqu used fifty boards in exchange for the trust and attention of the official family, and since then he has been in the emperor's heart.

Just imagine, a person who can abandon glory, wealth, or even life for the sake of his brothers, will be disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust?

Fu Jiuqu not only took the opportunity to solve the suspicions of the officials, but also blocked the criticism of the courtiers with a beating. At the same time, he dedicated his "incompetent villain's fart" to the official family and slaughtered it as a big fat chicken.

Today's biggest winner is Fu Jiuqu.

No, it's a win-win situation for him and the officials.

No, there is also a little lady Zhang, who is completely out of prison, and they win three times.

No, no, no, there is also a Cao Yi, who has gone up the river and is a good person, and they win four.

The only person who was scolded and scolded but dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak out was Zhang Yaozhuo.
