Liu Mouse's body was lifted up, the flesh and blood were blurred, the forehead and skull were sunken, and the "inside the skull" could be faintly seen.

Zhao Yizhi lowered his head and glanced at Liu Mouse's corpse, and said in shock: "This criminal law is too heavy, and there is no place to torture this body!" If you want to say that there is still the mastermind behind the assassination, after suffering so many crimes, he still bit Master Li to death, and finally committed suicide. Master Li... What do you think is the reason? ”

Li Changwen blushed: "Your Majesty, this is definitely someone framing the old minister, and the old minister doesn't know this person!" This person deliberately resisted the punishment, and then framed the old minister, and finally made a death without proof, and asked Your Majesty to learn clearly! ”

Zhao Yizhi nodded slightly: "Yes, it's not easy to die without proof." How can this be..."

"Taishi, what is the order of the Taishi to call the old slave to come... Rat! You..."As soon as Steward Liu came, he saw that Li Changwen was just about to see the salute, but when he saw the corpse of Liu Mouse, he couldn't help but scream.

Seeing this, Li Changwen stepped forward and kicked him down, interrupting Steward Liu's wail: "You lazy minion, you called you to come for such a long time!" Let Your Majesty wait here for so long! ”

Steward Liu saw Zhao Yizhi at this time, and only then did he see the surrounding situation clearly, and he understood in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave should die, the slave should die, the slave offended the holy driver, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Zhao Yi held his hand and said, "Excuse me." What did Steward Liu say about rats just now? But do you know this person? ”

Steward Liu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, the slave doesn't know each other, and the slave hasn't seen it once." ”

Zhao Yizhi looked at Li Changwen and said with a smile: "Steward Liu, get up, take a picture of the shoe prints on your body, I'm a little embarrassed." ”

Li Changwen lowered his head and didn't look at Zhao Yizhi and Steward Liu, as if the kick just now had nothing to do with him. Although he lowered his head, he exuded a sense of calm and leisure.

Zhao Yizhi saw that Li Changwen didn't speak, and said loudly: "Old lady, when this Liu mouse was dying, he finally identified Steward Liu, I thought that Steward Liu was still imprisoned first, and it was necessary to interrogate him." What does the old lady think? ”

Li Changwen nodded: "That's nature, you should find out." It's just that this old Liu... The old minister made it easy, and hoped that His Majesty's punishment guards would not be too heavy, if it hurt his life..."

Zhao Yizhi smiled: "The housekeepers of the Taishi Mansion, they have a number. The assassination of the king will be put aside for the time being, and the flood in Anhui City... What else does the old lady have to say? ”

Li Changwen glanced at Chen Yu and Kong Bao respectively, and said: "The old minister is dedicated to the country, they misinterpret the old minister's intentions and ignore the national law, so it is naturally in accordance with the national law!" ”

Zhao Yizhi was no longer polite, turned around and whispered a few words to Wang Zhenliang, and then sat back in the sedan chair, and Wang Zhenliang announced the edict: "Chen Yu, as the governor of Jiangnan, is guilty of dereliction of duty and bullying the king. Remembering his confession and repentance, the holy Hong's grace, do not pursue his family, and sentence him to be decided! Kong Bao committed the great crime of conspiracy and rebellion, intercepted and killed Tianwei, and the crime cannot be punished. Punish the three clans! Tomorrow's execution! ”

Chen Yu knelt on the ground with a look of infatuation, and when he heard that he would not pursue his family, his eyes lit up, and he immediately kowtowed brainlessly in the direction of Zhao Yizhi: "Your Majesty is wise!" Your Majesty is wise! The guilty minister will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay Your Majesty! ”

Kong Bao listened to his verdict in a daze, and when he heard the extermination of the three clans, he struggled: "Master Li, what's the matter?" Why does the emperor want to punish my three clans? ”

Li Changwen couldn't wait that he didn't know him at this time, and just now that the assassin's matter was cleared up, this hole leopard came to entangle again, and scolded: "How does this official teach you on weekdays!" Let you not oppress the good, but obey the law! Now that you have committed a heinous crime, it is already the grace of the Holy God to destroy only the three clans, what do you want! If you dare to entangle without gratitude, you really deserve death! ”

"Master Li! You promised to protect me! At least protect my mother! Li Changwen! You old thief! Fail to keep the faith! I won't let you go! You asked me to go to Wancheng! The leopard ignored it and shouted loudly.

Zhao Yizhi waved his hand, and Yin Mengwei and Xu Shiwei rushed over and escorted Chen Yu and Kong Bao away. According to the Great Enlightenment Law, all prisoners on death row could not be convicted lightly, and the emperor's personal approval was required. However, if the emperor has already approved it, there is no need for a retrial. In case the death row inmates know that the death date is approaching, they bite for no reason, and the time-consuming and laborious interrogation is not to mention, and it is impossible to say that they will have to implicate the good ones. At this time, Kong Bao confessed to Li Changwen again, which was of little effect.

Li Changwen saw Kong Bao, Chen Yu and others being dragged away, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

Zhao Yizhi called Xie Weifeng again: "Where are the corpses of the Wancheng County Order and the Wucheng County Order now?" ”

Xie Weifeng replied: "The corpse of the Wancheng County Order has been sent to be buried after an autopsy, and the Wucheng County Order claims to have been deceived by Kong Leopard and wants to arrest the thieves. Because he was an official of the imperial court, the last general did not dare to act rashly. ”

Zhao Yi summoned Wang Zhenliang and whispered again, Wang Zhenliang nodded again and again. After a moment, he announced again with a sharp voice: "Wancheng County ordered Zhang Shoucai to evacuate the people and resist Kong Bao, so that he sacrificed his life for the country, and his family rewarded ten thousand taels!" His son can be admitted to the country! Wucheng County ordered Sun Zilin to distinguish between right and wrong, assisted the anti-thief Kong Bao to kill Tianwei, persecuted goodness, dismissed him from the post of Wucheng County Commander, and sent the frontier to do hard labor! ”

The onlookers were stranger to the Wancheng County Order, but when they heard that Sun Zilin, who only knew how to make money, ended up like this, many people applauded. The surrounding civil and military officials didn't know what it was like to hear it. The son can enter the prison of the country, which is much heavier than the reward of ten thousand taels. Coming out of the Guozi Prison, the lowest is also a third-grade member, that Zhang Shoucai sacrificed his life for the country, and his son can get such an honor, and it can indeed be a smiling Jiuquan.

Sun Zilin thinks about his prosperity on weekdays, how the Wucheng County Order came about, many officials are clear, and when they hear his fate, all the officials are happy and worried.

"Where are those three boys?" Zhao Yizhi asked Xie Weifeng again.

Xie Weifeng waved back, Yin Mengwei stood on both sides, making way for a road, and He Yue'er and Xiang Lian'er walked over with Yi Xiaodao.

At this time, the ragged clothes of the three people had been changed, but Yi Xiaodao's right arm was fractured, and there were many wounds on his body, which made him slightly weak, so the second daughter walked over with support.

The second daughter knelt down with Yi Xiaodao: "The grass people knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Zhao Yizhi glanced at the three of them and said, "The three little heroes traveled thousands of miles to the capital to report Kong Leopard's crimes for the imperial court. That's a lot of credit! A thousand taels for each person! After speaking, he stared at Yi Xiaodao, "You are the Yi Xiaodao who captured the hole leopard?" What is your livelihood? Why do you have such skills? ”

Yi Xiaodao stretched out his left hand and scratched his head, "Grass people... Ask for food. I didn't know how to win, so I thought I was going to catch him, so I fought him desperately, desperately. Then I fainted... In other words, we came to this capital to be a witness, why didn't we ask us to sentence him? ”

Zhao Yizhi smiled: "It's okay for heroes not to ask where they come from." Kong Bao led the troops to attack the Tianwei, it was already a dead end, since he had already confessed his guilt, and General Xie had also found it out, why should I ask again. Take back a thousand taels, find a living, and live a good life. I don't know which of these two is your confidante? ”

Yi Xiaodao hurriedly dragged He Yue'er with his left hand and said, "This, this is yes." ”

He Yue'er angrily knocked out Yi Xiaodao's hand, kowtowed, and said: "I, people from the countryside, don't know how to pay respects, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

When Zhao Yizhi saw Yi Xiaodao like this, he couldn't help but think of his student days in his previous life, and he hadn't come into contact with such an interesting peer in the palace for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's okay, General Xie will arrange the follow-up matters for you." General Xie~"

"The last general!" Xie Weifeng responded.

"Yin Mengwei, who traveled to Anhui City this time, will be rewarded with 100 taels per person, and the heavenly guards who sacrificed their lives for the country will settle 5,000 taels at home in addition to the thick burial." Zhao Yizhi commanded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Xie Weifeng heard this, he knelt down first and kowtowed to thank him.

When more than 100 Yin Mengwei behind him heard this, they all knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" This sound resounded through the imperial city, and the people who were close couldn't help but cover their ears to relieve the stinging sensation caused by the sound.

I thought that everything was settled, but I didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to have such clear rewards and punishments, and even the Tianwei brothers who died in battle thought of it, five thousand taels, not to mention anything else, the life of the family is already guaranteed. Who will spare their lives after that? Of course, even if Zhao Yizhi does not have this reward, no one will complain about Tianwei's salary and system.

"Your Majesty, can I ask you for one thing?" Yi Xiaodao suddenly burst out.

Zhao Yizhi looked over, and Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er also looked sideways at Yi Xiaodao, not understanding what he was talking about.

"The flood in Wancheng is serious, please alleviate it a little... Taxation of Anhui City... Inconvenient words... When I didn't say..."Yi Xiaodao said hesitantly.

Zhao Yizhi laughed loudly: "You don't need to worry about this, since it is the land of the Great Apocalypse, it won't be ignored." Anhui City supported 500,000 taels of silver and 300,000 stones of grain to relieve the flood. Exemption from taxes for two years. What does the little hero think? If there is more, the treasury will not be able to take out, and it will be deducted from your 1,000 taels! ”

Yi Xiaodao nodded again and again: "Enough!" That's enough! If you want to deduct it from me, you can do it! 501,000, anyway, I was originally a beggar for food, Wancheng can be rebuilt, I can go back and ask for food! ”

Zhao Yizhi laughed again when he heard this, ignored Yi Xiaodao, turned around and walked towards the sedan chair.

"Yue'er, Lian'er, we're rich! Wancheng has also been saved! Yi Xiaodao said excitedly to the second daughter.

"Yes! I'm going to get a good night's sleep and eat! Xiang Lian'er took over and said.

He Yue'er lowered her head and smiled silently.

The more Yi Xiaodao thought about it, the happier he became, from a person who asked for food called Hanako, to a thousand taels in a blink of an eye, and jumped up with his arms around the second daughter excitedly.

The three of them were only happy, and no one noticed that the linen cloth used to bandage in Yi Xiaodao's hand slipped quietly...

Zhao Yizhi sat in the sedan chair, heading towards the palace, and suddenly stretched out his head and looked at the slippery linen cloth of Yi Xiaodao...
