Chapter 185: The road is uneven
The old man watched the back of Li Jing and his party disappear, so he returned to the thatched house and began to make inkstones.
After Li Jing and his entourage left the old man's thatched hut, they enjoyed the scenery along the way and returned to the inn where they stayed.
The scenery here is really good, the pristine environment, the fresh air, makes people feel a lot more relaxed.
At this time, the sun sets, and the afterglow is reflected in the gurgling and flowing river, the blue waves are sparkling, and the faint smoke is illuminated by the afterglow, like a rising purple cloud.
"The idyllic life is really pleasant!"
Li Jing smiled, and the idea of living in seclusion rose in his heart again, but in the next second, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face was a little dignified.
He saw a group of fierce men chasing a teenager with knives raised.
A ragged teenager.
These people actually dare to commit murder in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, is there any royal law?
Li Jing was immediately furious, and immediately ordered: "Take it!"
The guards who followed Li Jing received the order, rushed over, pulled out the horizontal knife he carried with him, fought with a few strong men, and soon took them down and rescued the young man who was being chased and killed by them.
"Get on your knees!"
The guards escorted several strong men who had been captured to Li Jing, scolded them and made them kneel.
Li Jing looked at the young man who had survived the catastrophe on the side, about ten years old, ragged, barefoot, and even his feet were worn out.
Even such a young child is not spared, these people are really crazy!
"Boy, do you know who we are? Do you know who you've saved? I advise you to let us go quickly, and then hand that boy over to us, or ......"
Before Li Jing could ask, the strong man in the lead took the lead to threaten.
"How about that?"
"You will have the disaster of raiding your family and destroying your family!"
Li Jing's pupils shrank, and his eyes revealed murderous aura, it was really a big breath, he was going to destroy the whole family when he opened his mouth, who dared to be so presumptuous, he was already lawless to this point!
"Presumptuous, you are so daring, dare to talk to my son-in-law like this, I think you are tired and crooked, give me a palm, a palm!"
Ximen Yang was not lightly angered by his rampant words!
"Smack, smack, slap......"
The Praetorian guard received the order, and directly pumped his big mouth, and the sound of slapping was endless for a while!
"Stop!"
The fight was almost over, Li Jing opened his mouth to ask the guards to stop, so as not to fan people to death, and he still had something to say to them.
The guards stopped slapping and stepped aside, waiting for Li Jing's order.
"Tell me, who are you?"
"We are the ones you can't afford to mess with!"
As soon as the other party spoke, Li Jing was almost angry, it seems that the lesson given to them is not enough, and he still speaks so impulsively, he really doesn't cry when he sees the coffin.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no one or force that he, the emperor, dare not provoke.
He wanted to see how arrogant these people could be.
"This person's mouth stinks, cut it off!"
As soon as Li Jing waved his hand, the guards immediately stepped forward and slashed the person who spoke just now to death, his head rolled to the ground, blood splattered three feet, and the other companions around him were sprayed.
The rest of the other party was dumbfounded, is it so murderous?
Just because people's mouths stink, you will be a killer and don't talk about martial arts!
Say kill and kill, is there any royal law in this world, and is there any law?
Is there anyone who can stop the murderer in front of him?
A group of strong men trembled with fear, leaning together for some comfort, perhaps the proximity to their companions would give them a little security.
"I ask you to answer, don't open your mouth if you don't ask, if anyone dares to talk nonsense with me again, this person will be your fate, do you understand?"
Li Jing looked at the remaining strong men and glanced at them with a fierce gaze.
Several strong men nodded hurriedly, indicating that they understood.
"Say, who are you?"
Li Jing looked at a group of trembling strong men, felt that the style of painting was a bit inconsistent, and asked:
"Why are you chasing and killing this young man, don't you know that Datang still has a royal law? You actually dare to commit murder in broad daylight, is there any law of the Tang Dynasty in your eyes? ”
You still know that Datang still has a royal law, and without blinking your eyes, you cut off their heads, why don't you talk about the law, I really want to ask you, do you have the law in your eyes?
They didn't dare to say this, and if they did, they would not have to go down to accompany their boss.
"We are the attendants of the supervising imperial history, and we were ordered to kill the rebels, after this son was a sinner, on the day of the execution, he escaped, and the patrol supervised the imperial history sent us to behead him!"
A strong man told him where he came from and why he wanted to hunt down the young man.
Li Jing frowned after hearing this, the responsibility of supervising the imperial history is to supervise hundreds of officials, inspect prefectures and counties, correct Xing Prison, purge the court and other affairs, and the imperial court will send the imperial history inspector to inspect the place on schedule.
Supervise whether local officials have violated laws and disciplines, bent the law for bribes, and have unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the supervision of the imperial history does not have the power to execute, even if someone really commits a capital crime, they must follow the process, report to the top, and transfer the prisoner to the yamen of the criminal department, instead of being punished by the supervision of the imperial history.
Who gave the overseer such power? Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand?
"What is your master's name?"
Li Jing sneered.
Supervising the Imperial History?
Li Jing wants to see which uncle dares not to take the laws of the Tang Dynasty seriously!
"The master of my family is Wang Deshou, the superintendent of the imperial history of Dali Temple, and it is after he ordered us to hunt down and kill sinners!"
A strong man said.
"Well, very, how many people came to Lingnan with him? Where is Wang Deshou's soul? ”
Li Jing suppressed the anger in his heart, sneered and continued to ask.
"Except for a few of us who came to Lingnan with my master, there is no one else, and my master is now in Duanzhou Yamen."
The strong man did not dare to hide anything.
"Escort them and follow me to Duanzhou Yamen."
Li Jing sneered, and asked the guards to escort these strong men, take the young man, and go to the Duanzhou Yamen together.
He wanted to know who gave Wang Deshouthe the courage to trample on the laws of the Tang Dynasty, relying on his identity as a superintendent of the imperial history, and daring to do things that violated the law and discipline in broad daylight.
It seems that it is time to straighten out the team of the Imperial History, and all kinds of messy guys can enter.
A bastard like Wang Deshou can actually enter the ranks of the imperial history.
Since this matter was bumped into by him, the emperor, he couldn't help but ask.
If something so big happens, the prime ministers will be punished.
As the head of the Imperial History Terrace, the Imperial Historian is even more to blame, and it is cheap for him to bow and step down, and if it is serious, he will even move his head directly!
As for that Wang Deshou, it is cheap for him to behead the capital directly!
This time, we must intensify our efforts to rectify the situation, so that such a thing will not happen again in the future.
