The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Tang Ying and Lin Qiao knelt in front of Tang Tingbai.

Tang Ying cried even more, there was no etiquette that an eldest princess should have.

Tang Tingbai frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Yuan Fang, since you said that the human and material evidence are all there, then today I will personally go to the Criminal Department to try this case, I want to see what kind of ruthless character the young man who can make the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate fearful!" Tang Tingbai spoke calmly.

Li Yuanfang looked overjoyed.

He knew that the emperor was ready to deal with this matter personally.

It is conceivable that with the emperor's character, it will inevitably be full of people.

And the eldest princess Tang Ying and Lin Qiaoqi's faces changed, they are all smart people, so they can naturally hear that the emperor's subconscious meaning is that they are going to judge their children.

Tang Ying knelt directly in front of Tang Tingbai and hugged Tang Tingbai's thigh: "Your Majesty, the emperor is angry, even if your eldest nephew violates the law of Dayan, we are willing to compensate, please let him inherit the title of prince, just beg you as my sister." ”

Prince Lin Qiao of Funing also knelt down: "Ask the emperor for mercy, the dog is pampered, the minister is willing to break his legs and give that young man's family 100,000 taels of silver, their family can't spend it in several lifetimes, ask the emperor to be merciful, after all, it is your nephew, if he can't inherit the prince's title, it will be a shame for you." ”

You—

Tang Tingbai took a deep breath, his eyes full of disappointment.

Until this moment, the two still did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

It's not as simple as removing the title.

Tang Tingbai was going to the Criminal Department, and he was ready to kill.

……

The Yamen of the Criminal Department.

At this moment, this place has been surrounded by thousands of brocade guards.

A thousand Templars were also on standby.

At the same time, all the civil and military officials were invited by Tang Tingbai to come and observe.

It can be said that the lineup is luxurious.

Tang Tingbai sat on the chair with a calm face.

The eldest princess and Prince Funing also arrived.

First of all, Tang Tingbai interrogated the old shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Then, hundreds of eyewitnesses were interrogated, and the statements were basically the same.

After that, Tang Tingbai interrogated Lang Tianwei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Meng Yu, the Qing of Dali Temple, and Cao Bao, the right deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate.

The three confessed to Tang Tingbai's interrogation.

They didn't dare not tell the truth, because they all knew that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, would kill people if he didn't agree with him.

Of course, in their hearts, they felt that as long as they honestly explained, for such a trivial matter, the emperor would deduct them for half a year at most, and would never kill them.

Yes, even in the hearts of Dayan officials, the life of an ordinary shopkeeper is dead, and it is just a trivial matter.

Tang Tingbai knew in his heart that even in the hearts of Dayan officials, the lives of ordinary people were worthless.

Today, Tang Tingbai wants to change everyone's concepts.

Although no one is equal in this world, what Tang Tingbai has to do is to let him govern Dayan and make everyone equal as much as possible!

Tang Tingbai looked at Tian Wei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department: "Lord Tian, is there anything missing from what you just said?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Wei was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly shook his head: "The old minister has said everything he should say, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

Tian Wei said this, but it was just some scene words.

And the civil and military officials didn't take this matter to heart.

Tang Tingbai's face was calm, and he looked at Dayan's civil and military officials again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think should be done with this right attendant of the Criminal Department?"

This......

The civil and military officials looked at each other, obviously not expecting that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, would ask their opinions.

"Back to the emperor, the old minister felt that Lord Tian had really done a poor job in this matter, and the old minister felt that he would be fined for three months as a punishment."

"The old minister is the same, how can he ignore the grievances of ordinary people for fear of the powerful, and the old minister thinks that he should be fined for half a year!"

"The old minister also thinks that it is best to punish him for half a year, and the small punishment is a big commandment, so that when Lord Tian decides the case in the future, he can also have a number in his heart."

“……”

Everyone spoke.

I feel that fines are the simplest and most direct way, and there is no one.

Tang Tingbai smiled and looked at Meng Yu of Dali Temple and Cao Bao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "Can the two adults agree to deal with Tian Wei's punishment?" ”

Cao Bao and Meng Yu glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

It's only half a year, and they, the children of the family, don't expect to live on that little money.

Seeing the two nodding, Tang Tingbai smiled again, but his body was already filled with murderous intent.

"Where is the brocade guard!" Tang listened to Bai Lang's voice.

As soon as the words fell, Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, immediately rushed in with more than a dozen Jinyi Guards.

"The subordinates are here!"

"Drag out Lang Tianwei, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Meng Yu, the Qing of Dali Temple, and Cao Bao, the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, and behead them on the spot." Tang listened to Bai and said coldly.

"Subordinates obey!"

Li Yuanfang immediately led someone to drag the three of them out of the hall like dead dogs.

This......

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials were stunned.

What did the emperor say just now?

Decapitation on the spot?

This...... How is that possible?

For the sake of a pariah, you have to behead the court officials?

You must know that the right attendant of the Criminal Department, which is second only to the existence of the Criminal Department, can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the Criminal Department.

Dali Temple, that is the leader of the entire Dali Temple.

And the right deputy imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It can be said that every one of them is a powerful existence in the people.

But now, the emperor wants to kill all three of them?

At this moment, the faces of everyone present were a little unsightly.

The eldest princess Cao Ying and Prince Funing Lin Qiao glanced at each other, they keenly felt that the matter was probably not as simple as they imagined, and it seemed that it could not be solved by losing money, after all, the tyrant in front of him has never played cards according to the routine, and no one knows what this tyrant wants to do next.

And the civil and military officials looked at each other.

Prime Minister Su Zhen took a step forward: "Please think twice, although the three adults are wrong, they will not die for their crimes." ”

As soon as the words fell, the six ministries also stood up together: "Please think twice, the emperor." ”

In fact, among the three people Tang Tingbai wanted to kill, there were those from Nanshan and those from West Lake.

So this time, it is rare for the two forces to see the same thing.

Seeing that some officials interceded for the three people, Tang Tingbai smiled, and he smiled very happily.

"Yes, all the adults."

"I want to ask you, should those three people be killed if they are afraid of the powerful and ignore the grievances of the people?"

"As an official of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is no justice in his heart, and he turns a blind eye, this matter has been spread in Kyoto, and what is the court like in the hearts of the people? They have insulted the face of the court, should they be killed? ”

This......

The civil and military officials looked at each other.

In fact, in their hearts, they still feel that sin does not lead to death.

But at this moment, Li Yuanfang walked in with an embroidered spring knife that was still dripping with blood: "Your Majesty, the three criminal officials have all been cut off, and the heads of the three of them have all been hung by their subordinates at the door of the Ministry of Punishment. ”

Tang Tingbai nodded, and looked at Dayan's civil and military officials again: "Where is Zhang Tiandao of the Ministry of Households?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Tiandao immediately took a step forward: "The old minister is here." ”

Tang Tingbai's face was calm: "Zhang Butang, you have written down the court officials who have just interceded with the three criminal officials, all of them will be fined for half a year, and the small punishment will be given to the big commandment, I want you to know that the lives of the people of Dayan are the same as the lives of the powerful people of Dayan, and there is no distinction between high and low." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Tingbai stood up, his face full of solemnity.

"I want you to remember that in my heart, the people of the world are the same as you, the princes, ministers, civil and military officials."

"In my heart, whether it is the emperor or the shopkeeper on the street in Kyoto, they are all the same, they are all Dayan people, and they all make their own contributions to Dayan, but we contribute in different ways."

"You officials, don't forget, before you became officials, you were also ordinary people, how many of you here sometimes studied hard, and the family raised you one, just so that you could get ahead and change your life, but look at it now, what have you done?"

I......

Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Dayan's officials all lowered their heads in shame.

Yes, among these officials, although the family accounts for more than half, a considerable number of them are still from poor families.

Aren't they studying hard just to get ahead and change their lives?

But now that life has changed, they also feel that they are superior to others, and they look down on the common people in the world.

They have forgotten that they were once one of the poor.

Tang listened to Bai Leng snort and looked at the eldest princess Cao Ying.

"Eldest sister, if I'm not mistaken, you're in charge of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Tang Ying was stunned, because this was a public place, Tang Tingbai should call her the eldest princess.

But now, Tang Tingbai actually called her eldest sister in front of Dayan's civil and military officials?

Tang Ying nodded: "Back to the emperor, I do manage the Royal Chamber of Commerce, but in recent years, Dayan has been plagued by internal and external troubles and wars, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce has lost money year after year. ”

Losing money year after year?

Hearing this, the sneer on Tang Tingbai's face became even stronger.

Losing money year after year, will you continue to operate?

Losing money year after year, will the officials of the court be afraid of your power?

"Hehe, since you have been losing money year after year, then the eldest sister doesn't need to continue to manage the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and I will send someone to take care of it." Tang Tingbai smiled faintly.

What???

Tang Ying's eyes widened, she didn't expect that Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, would take away her rights with just a few words.

You must know that the Royal Chamber of Commerce earns more than 10 million taels of silver to the royal family every year, and she can intercept more than half.

"The Emperor's !!" Tang Ying was just about to speak.

Tang Tingbai waved his hand directly and looked at Prince Lin Qiao of Funing: "How old is my brother-in-law this year?" ”
