"Smack——!

Liu Qiang took the case and forcibly interrupted Li Qing's interrogation.

can't let this Li Qin go on to interrogate anymore, and Liu Qiang doesn't care if he will offend this royal celebrity, so he will take over directly.

Li Qing was disturbed by this, and his interrogation thoughts were also confused, and he felt helpless, but the jury was also qualified to interrogate the prisoners, and he couldn't say anything.

Liu Qiang shouted: "You committed the crime of defrauding the king, not only did you not repent, but you quibbled with clever tongues, and the crime was added to the first degree!"

dared to comment on Da Ming and Tyrant Yuan together, and it was an unforgivable crime.

Do you want to rebel? ”

The sinners immediately showed panic, this rebellious hat was buttoned down, and it was not only them who died, but their families would also be implicated, and it would be difficult to destroy the nine clans!

"Wronged, the sinners don't dare!"

"My lord is wronged, the sinner said unintentionally, I really didn't want to compare the tyranny with the Ming Dynasty."

"Hmph, just admit that you're a sinner!" Liu Qiang regained the initiative, "If you wait for an honest reply, you can ensure that your family is worry-free." ”

Listening to this naked threat, Li Qing secretly smiled bitterly, it is strange that there is no grievance in such a trial.

However, he also knew that this Jinyi Baihu was dissatisfied with his interrogation and forcibly interrupted, and if he snatched the right to interrogate, he would have a grudge with Jinyiwei.

He was not so noble, and he was blind to the pros and cons, so he simply shut up.

I only heard Liu Qiang say, "Let me ask you, is it true to connive at local officials to stamp empty papers?" ”

A group of people looked at each other in silence.

"Remember, the offender admitted to conniving at the magistrate's empty paper stamp!" Liu Qiang glanced at Li Qing, as if to say: Little brother, learn a little.

"Let me ask you again, is it wrong to deceive the Holy One?"

The crowd fell silent again.

"Remember, the sinner confessed to deceiving the king!"

Liu Qiang snorted, "Is it unfair to be sentenced to beheading for two crimes?" ”

"Wronged, wronged, ......"

Liu Qiang looked indifferent, "Remember, the criminals are afraid of death, they only know how to cry out for injustice, and they dare not deny the crimes they have committed." ”

Li Qing was speechless and at the same time had some admiration, after this set, he was really 'reasonable' to convict, and the official who committed the crime had nothing to say.

Liu Qiang picked up the confession and looked at it, and smiled with satisfaction, "Let them draw a charge!" ”

"Wronged, I am wronged......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After a whip came down, the shouting of grievances completely stopped, and the charge was drawn honestly.

Liu Qiang handed the confession full of fingerprints to Li Qing, "Master Li, time is tight and the task is heavy, let's hurry up and go to the vegetable market!" ”

Li Qing sighed and nodded slightly.

Execution table.

A group of officials were tied up with five flowers, kneeling on the ground like ashes, the executioner stood on one side, and the brocade guard stepped forward to verify his identity, full of ceremony.

Soon, Jin Yiwei stepped forward to report: "Lord Qincha, the identity of the sinner is confirmed. ”

Li Qing glanced at the fire sticks in the bamboo tube, the bridges that could only appear on the screen in the past are happening alive in front of him at this moment, this is not filming, once it is thrown out, it will really die.

After a long moment's hesitation, he pulled out an execution warrant and said weakly, "Kill!" ”

"Puff puff ......"

The executioner pulled out the guilty card from the criminal's head, and the knife fell from his hand, and the blood gushed out, and the human heads rolled to the ground.

The audience suddenly mourned, and the family members wiped their tears and went to the stage to collect the bodies of their relatives.

Li Qing looked at it in a daze, he could understand the mood of these family members at this time, it was okay in the morning, but in the blink of an eye, it was forever separated.

The execution table was bloody, the air was filled with pungent blood, and under the violent impact of sight and smell, he almost didn't vomit.

Li Qing didn't know how he got off the execution table, until a gust of wind came, he completely returned to his soul, but in the hot summer, he was cold.

The entrance to the study.

There are two brocade guards standing on the left and right, flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives, mantis legs, and horse peak waists, majestic!

Li Qing had already known through the eunuchs that the people who could wear flying fish suits were not ordinary brocade guards, and when he saw them blocking the door, he understood that they must be talking about confidential matters inside.

He didn't want to go in directly, so he arched his hand and said, "I'm tired of it, Li Qing came to reply to the order." ”

Several people saw that he was also in a flying fish suit, and showed a relatively kind smile, and then, one of them turned around and entered the imperial study.

After a while, the man came out, "The emperor let you in!" ”

Li Qing nodded and walked into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the sinner has been ambushed!"

"Mao Xiang, it's time to do it." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at him, and said to the middle-aged man, "Provincial capital, prefecture and county." Don't leave any of the offenders behind. ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Qing was shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to kill them all?

"Get up!"

Mao Xiang got up.

Li Qing couldn't figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang said to get up, the bag didn't include him, so he had to continue to kneel, to be honest, he really didn't fit in.

"Didn't we let it go?"

"Huh? Be... Emperor Xie. ”

If you take it, you can't explain it...... Li Qing got up and took out his confession, "Your Majesty, this is the confession of those criminals." ”

The little eunuch stepped forward to take it and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly went over it, nodded and said, "You can't do anything wrong, by the way, this is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, your boss." ”

Li Qing clasped his fists and saluted, "Subordinate Li Qing, meet the commander." ”

Mao Xiang glanced at Li Qing and praised, "It's a material for making brocade guards, and the emperor's eyes are like torches." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled, and said to Li Qing, "You go back first!" ”

"Minister..."

1,300 people, that is, 1,300 families, Li Qing finally felt compassion, he said politely, "Your Majesty, when Weichen interrogated those criminals, he inadvertently found some... The strange place, the minister did not dare to hide it. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with interest, "Let's hear it." ”

Li Qing took a breath and tactfully pointed out the difficulties of the officials one by one, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were getting tighter and tighter, he hurriedly stated his position:

"Those criminals deceive the king, and when it comes to capital crimes, the empty paper stamped officials are also unforgivable, but also...

Pardonable. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "Mao Xiang, escort him to the noon gate ......"

Lift the lid of the tea and sip the tea, "Twenty canes!" ”

Call~

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and the true qi in his body gradually calmed down.

scolded in my heart: Can you not speak so loudly?

Mao Xiang was very calm, and it wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking that he arched his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

After that, he escorted Li Qing out of the main hall.

Zhu Biao glanced at Li Qing's departing back, frowned, and said: "Father, he still has to treat his mother, twenty boards down, in case ......"

"Don't worry, Mao Xiang knows it."

Zhu Biao nodded helplessly, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Father, the son thinks that Li Qing's sentence 'the crime is unforgivable, and the circumstances are excusable' are reasonable, so many officials who do practical things have been killed, and the political affairs will be delayed, so why not be dealt with lightly?" ”

"That Li Qing is not sensible, and you are not sensible either?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a serious tone, "How harmful is the seal of empty paper, don't you understand it, the prince?"

The seal represents the permission of the government, but what is written on it is what it is, once it is used by someone with a heart, I don't know how many people will suffer!

Yes, we know that there are many officials who just want to be convenient, and they do not have the intention of harming the people, nor do they have the actions to harm the people.

But they still have to die!

Only in this way can the officials behind not dare to act recklessly! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao directly, "Biao'er, remember, if you want to be a good emperor, it is difficult to be a good person.

As an emperor, you can't be reasonable, especially to Wenchen. ”

"What's unreasonable?" Zhu Biao disagreed and refuted it.

"Talk about the political meaning behind it!" Zhu Yuanzhang earnestly taught: "The emperor kills, employs, rewards, and punishes people to see whether they need it, not right or wrong."

Take your cheap uncle Lan Yu as an example, he is a high-flying man, and there are many illegal things, but we have never even had a reprimand, do you really think we are giving you face? ”

Zhu Biao's face was hot, and he was speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "The Northern Yuan Dynasty has not been destroyed, the generals are still of great use, and that blue jade has the demeanor of your father-in-law when he fights, this is the real reason!" ”

Zhu Biao nodded lightly, "Father Xie pointed out, and the sons and ministers have all written it down." ”

After a moment of silence, he was puzzled, "But Father... Are you too harsh on Wenchen? ”

"Is there one?"

"There is ......" Looking at his father's dangerous gaze, Zhu Biao reluctantly changed his words, "A little bit." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao with hatred of iron and steel, sighed, and still patiently explained:

"Biao'er, throughout history, the demise of the Great Unification Dynasty was mostly because of Wenchen!

Their harm is much higher than that of military generals, so it is even more necessary to suppress their arrogance.

These scholars open their mouths of benevolence and morality, and close their mouths of morality and righteousness, full of the words of saints, you should not think that they think so in their hearts.

Superficial benevolence, righteousness and morality are their love for feathers, and the words of saints are the means they use to improve their right to speak! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang advised, "You remember it for us, Wenchen can be used, but it is not credible, and it is not kissable!" ”
