A few days later, the imperial capital, Chongying Palace, and Taihe Palace.

Fang Yang and Li Ming, the Qing of Dali Temple, are playing: "Your Majesty, the case of Ding Buwei rebellion cannot be pursued for the time being, and I sincerely request that the case be closed." ”

Emperor Shenwu sighed: "Why can't you continue to investigate?"

Fang Yang said: "Ding Buwei is dead, his wife and concubine have not been able to hear his conspiracy conversation, and when he visits the neighbors, he can't say anything about the visit of the mysterious man in black, and the clues are interrupted, so he can't continue to investigate." Please forgive Your Majesty for the incompetence of the ministers!"

Emperor Shenwu sighed again and pondered for a while: "It is indeed a disappointment to me. There are people at my feet who are plotting rebellion and trying to cause chaos, but you can't find out who is ugly, how can you close the case like this? No, no!"

Fang Yang kowtowed and said, "Weichen did his best!"

Emperor Shenwu saw him kowtow a few times, then he snorted and said, "That's it! It is impossible to close the case, you Fang Yang is not effective, you will be fined half a year! I will send someone else to investigate this matter thoroughly until it is over!"

Fang Yang kowtowed and said, "Yes, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Emperor Shenwu asked again: "How to deal with Ding Buwei and the others, what do you think?"

Fang Yang kowtowed and said: "Ding is not dead, but the crime of great rebellion cannot be forgiven, Weichen thinks that he should still show his head to the public and confiscate the family property." His family, wives and concubines did not know, but the crime of harboring was still not to be forgiven, and Weichen believed that he should be sentenced to a civilian and exiled for 3,000 miles, and he should not be an official for five generations. ”

Emperor Shenwu squinted at him: "That's it?"

Fang Yang kowtowed and said: "This is just the opinion of Wei Chen, I don't dare to be specialized." ”

Emperor Shenwu snorted and waved his hand, "You go down first!"

Fang Yang and Li Ming kowtowed and retreated together.

Emperor Shenwu looked at Huang Quan and Zhao Daquan: "You two, come out!"

The two went out to kowtow. Huang Quan said: "Your Majesty, the case of beating people in the middle of the night, Wechen has closed the case, this is Wechen's recital!" said as he raised a piece of music with both hands over the top.

Zhao Daquan also held a book high above the top. Cheng Lian walked down and collected the folds and handed them to Emperor Shenwu.

Emperor Shenwu glanced at it, then put it aside, and said: "From what you have checked, the second young master of the Ding family did rob the people's daughter on the street, and Ling Ye injured him out of righteous indignation, and Wang Fuchun of the Xiaoqi Battalion saw that he was the son of an official eunuch, so he actually shielded him and besieged Ling Ye, right?"

Both kowtowed. Emperor Shenwu said: "Since this is the case, Wang Fuchun is dead, how should the second young master of the Ding family deal with it?"

Huang Quan said: "In Weichen's opinion, he is already a wasted person, so he might as well stop pursuing it and end it." ”

Emperor Shenwu said: "No, no, a son of an official eunuch is so arrogant, rampant at my feet, and dares to make a big fuss, completely ignoring the law." Such a presumptuous person must be sentenced to a heavy sentence! I will sentence him to be beheaded in half and be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public!"

Dingguo Gong Lu Tianming flashed out again: "Your Majesty, although this person is hateful, becoming a wasted person is already the greatest punishment." If His Majesty is kind enough to spare him, the people will know that His Majesty is broad-minded and merciful, and they will support him even more. ”

Emperor Shenwu shook his head and said, "Benevolence is not used like this, it will make the people who trample on the laws of the empire feel lucky!

Lu Tianming had no choice but to retreat. see

Emperor Shenwu looked at Zhao Daquan and said: "You are so bold! You actually accept other people's money without permission and talk nonsense with others! You, the commander of the cavalry battalion, don't have to do it from today onwards, and you will be demoted to the rank of captain of the military academy." If you recidivize, you will be reduced to a civilian!"

Zhao Daquan kowtowed: "Yes." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Emperor Shenwu snorted and said, "That's how it works. Two people retreat. Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to do?"

All the courtiers were quiet for a while, and General Zuo came out and said: "Your Majesty, Marshal Wu Peng, who went out to inspect the defense of the north before, sent back a carrier pigeon, and he will return to the imperial capital soon." This is the Tang newspaper sent back by the marshal. As he spoke, he held a book of folds high above the top with both hands.

Emperor Shenwu obviously attached great importance to the Tang newspaper that Marshal Wu Peng had sent back, read it carefully, nodded, and said, "Okay! Tell him that I need more retribution!"

He looked around at everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

Huang Quan came out and said, "Your Majesty, about the matter of Ling Ye......

Emperor Shenwu pondered for a while and said, "I was thinking about this before, but I couldn't make up my mind for a while, but now I just have an idea. The wolf guards had a meritorious role in killing Hu Kuan before midnight, and this time they helped me expose a rebellious minister, and the credit was great, especially because this person was smart and clever, and I admired him very much and had the heart to promote him. Tell him to wait a few days and I'll surprise him!"

Huang Quan saw this situation, and he understood a little in his heart, so he kowtowed and said, "Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

※※※

This was the end of the noisy "rampant case of the emperor in the mountain village". Ding, who was already dead, was not at peace and was dragged out and beheaded to show the public. The family property was confiscated, the whole family was demoted to a commoner, and the second son, who had lost his life and had become a waste, was pushed out to show the public.

As for Ling Ye, what kind of reward and promotion he will get from Emperor Shenwu is still a mystery in everyone's hearts.

※※※

On the day when the second young master of the Ding family was beheaded, many people went to watch it, it was really crowded. Many of them were just watching the excitement, but there were also many people who had been poisoned by him, and when they saw the prisoner cart carrying the second young master of the Ding family passing by, they all threw rotten eggs and rotten cabbage and other things on his head, spitting and scolding.

The second young master of the Ding family was tightly locked in the prisoner car and couldn't move, only one head was exposed on it, his head was scattered, and he hung his head, and he had long lost his usual arrogance, and he didn't say a word.

Even so, no one pitied him, only pointed at him and said hatefully: "Evil has evil retribution, let you run rampant for many days, and you will end up like this!"

He Xiaoyan also crowded into the crowd and threw a few rotten eggs at the second young master of the Ding family to vent her anger.

Of course, looking at the people in the car, she couldn't help but think of Ling Ye, the taciturn teenager. He doesn't like to talk, but he is very assertive and very steady.

Alas, such a person is still a person in the army, and sooner or later he will be promoted to become a general and nobleman. How can she be a woman like that? In the vast sea of people after that, there will be no reunion......

※※※

The prisoner cart carrying the second young master of the Ding family and a car full of rotten eggs and rotten cabbage slowly came to its end point, the execution ground at the entrance of Caishi Street. The soldier unlocked the car, dragged the second young master of the Ding family from the car viciously, dragged him all the way to the center of the execution ground, kicked his knees a few times, and made him kneel on both knees.

Because it was a waist beheading, in front of the second young master of the Ding family, a low table was set up early, which was specially used to put the waist beheaded prisoner on it to cut it open. The bed was painted red, red and bright as if it was stained with blood.

The executioner wearing a red scarf slowly appeared on the stage with a heavy ghost head knife on his shoulder, and came to the second young master of the Ding family, squinting at him, his eyes indifferent.

The onlookers surrounded the place, and they were all looking forward to seeing the excitement!
