Chapter 59: Catching the Knife (2)

"Ugh...."

Cai Jing, who was kneeling, sighed slightly in his heart, I told you not to make a sound, how can the other party dare to act like this, how can there be no back hand? Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘U๏ฝ‡Eใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽ๏ฝ†๏ฝ

The man who crawled out spoke generously and with grief, but in a moment, he was interrupted.

"Lord Ho....."

Bai Muqiu put away the holy decree, handed it to the yellow door beside him, and walked over with his cloud-covered boots on the smooth floor, a wisp of silver thread crossed his forehead, and his cold eyes stared at each other, and he opened his mouth, but he sighed first.

"Hey...... Why are you jumping out in a hurry....." He whispered, walking around the other party, and when he was facing the temple gate, Bai Muqiu asked: "When you were at the Xihua Gate, did you say that 'there are hungry people outside the city'?"

"The old man said. โ€

He Zhongsu raised his head violently and looked at him, "You spy on us?"

Bai Muqiu turned around, his back to the light, his expression was invisible in the shadows, and he said, "Lord He, I am worried about the tens of thousands of hungry people outside the city, but you can donate generously?"

"Why not?" He Zhongsu stood up angrily and confronted him, "The granary of the old man's house has gone seven out of ten, and the old and young in the family also have two meals a day, and you, eunuch, have done? Why do you supervise hundreds of officials to observe the people?"

Bai Muqiu didn't answer, took two steps back, clapped his palms, and "Find out Master He's record last night." โ€

"What do you mean?"

"Even the family is being watched?"

"I'm afraid it's impossible, this eunuch is probably deceiving me and others. โ€

The hundred officials turned their heads to each other, looked at the white-haired eunuch standing there in shock, and suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts, what they had done, they usually knew very well, what was at home, and the people at home naturally knew it, if there was a Dongchang sight at home...... Then, everyone, including Cai Jing and Wang Hao, couldn't help but shudder.

- Whoa.

On the left side of the main hall, there is a case, the paper is piled up, four or five small yellow doors are turning over, in the main hall, the atmosphere is extremely tense, only the sound of the paper is heard to turn over, not long after, a small yellow door holds a page of paper and presents it in front of the person on the dragon chair.

Zhao Ji snorted and asked, "He Qing, I asked you what you had for dinner last night." โ€

"My family is struggling right now. He Zhongsu knelt down again, "So last night, all the ministers' families were vegetarians, only eating two meals a day, and cutting back on food and clothing, Your Majesty." โ€

"Hehe....."

Zhao Ji laughed in disappointment, and asked the yellow door to send the page to him, "Take a good look at it yourselfโ€”I'm disappointed." โ€

Pinching the thin page, He Zhongsu seemed to be holding something weighing a thousand catties, and his hands trembled slightly. I only heard a bang, and there was a bang, and several imperial pens and inkstones were swept down and shattered.

He roared: "The day before yesterday, I had already given you a chance, do you really think that I am easy to fool when I am young? โ€

Angry, Zhao Ji pointed to the kneeling person and said, "Two meals a day, coarse tea and light rice, hehe.... Look for yourself what is written on the paper! A table of fifteen dishes, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and Mei Ji to feed the wine, and a poem was chanted during the dinner, do you want to read it to you? โ€

Bai Muqiu walked to He Zhongsu's side, looked down at him, and said in a cold tone, "Does Lord He have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...."

He Zhongsu's face was full of beads of sweat, and he crawled forward, "What is written on the paper is that they framed me, Your Majesty is aware of it, it was they who framed it." โ€

"I don't want to see him again. Zhao Ji closed his eyes and sat back on the dragon chair.

Bai Muqiu beckoned, a soldier who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time came over and dragged He Zhongsu, who was paralyzed on the ground, out, in the silent hall, he was only listening to him wailing and pleading, but no one dared to step forward to protect him, and everyone knew in their hearts that he was finished.

When the bloody human head was presented, the idea finally turned into a bloody reality, and many ministers who had never seen blood couldn't help but retch. Bai Muqiu brought the pages over again at this time, but it was a thick stack, and when many ministers saw the stack of pages, their faces were like ashes, their knees were weak, and they immediately sat down.

"When Ben Du was sixteen years old, he and His Majesty witnessed King Pu kill a group of ministers here. Bai Muqiu slowly raised the page in his hand and said it to them clearly word by word.

"Today, the Governor doesn't mind killing another batch. โ€

At this time, a small yellow door came over and took the page, and began to read the names on it in the order above, from low to high, what crime was committed, whether it was corruption or bribery, murder and land, bullying men and women, one by one on this hall, like a pearl falling to the ground, clear and crisp.

Zhen Wen...... In the second year of Xinghe, he accepted bribes of 15,000 yuan and released a prisoner on death row. โ€

"Zhao Yu.... In the sixteenth year of Chenghua, he poisoned the original partner and buried it in his own backyard. In addition, he raped and killed seven girls, and his bones were buried in the flower garden in the back garden. โ€

"Cheng Wenxing...... In the third year of Xinghe, he transported Huashigang, so that fifteen boatmen fell into the water and died. โ€

......

Every time a name or a crime was read, a soldier dragged the man out of the minister's pile, and when he came in again, only a frightened and twisted head was left quietly there, among them, there were more than ten heads of civil servants and military generals.

"Zhu Mian ......"

Thinking of this, Bai Muqiu deliberately looked over, the man trembled, he was so frightened that he softened, he suddenly fell on the ground, crawled to the middle, and said in a lost voice: "Your Majesty.... Your Majesty saves Weichen, Weichen has hard work even if he has no merit....."

"Enough!"

Zhao Ji stood up, looked at the rows of heads below, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then turned around and left.

"I've killed enough people today, I'm very tired, retreat!"

Looking at the emperor who was far away, Bai Muqiu lowered his hand and turned his head to look over, "Lord Zhu, you have a little better luck this time, pay more attention next time." โ€

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Mian had already been so frightened by the human head on the ground that two souls flew away, and his head was like a woodpecker, "Lord Xie is not killed, Lord Xie is not killed." โ€

Bai Muqiu returned the page to Xiao Huangmen, and walked out, "Wait, listen to this governor, today is Your Majesty's kindness, and next time I won't have such good luck." โ€

After speaking, he had already left the temple gate, and there was a sound of panting behind him.

"Overseer, I didn't kill you today. โ€

Hai Dafu followed.

Bai Muqiu looked at the sky that was already bright, and sighed: "Your Majesty's heart has softened. โ€

"But we can't be soft. His tone became harder and harder, "Cai Jing and Wang Hao have too many henchmen, it's time to slim down for them, and the rest of the list is ......"

His eyes flickered with a cold light, "Pick some and kill!"
