"Hua Aiqing, have you thought about this imperial punishment?"

Hua Chong said confidently: "Long live back, the minister just has an idea." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Tell me about it. ”

"The minister thinks that this imperial punishment should show the majesty of the royal family, so as to shock the evil spirits, so this imperial punishment should have a deterrent effect; second, the first use of this imperial punishment should be in Chenzhou, so that the people of Chenzhou should applaud the holy wisdom of our emperor, and this imperial punishment should be somewhat close to the people. It seems that although Ling Chi's execution was shocking, most of the people did not dare to look at it, and the people did not understand the golden gourd hitting the top of such torture instruments, so the minister thought of an idea, and the people were easy to understand, and did not lose the prestige of the court. ”

The emperor was also interested, urging: "What kind of torture instrument is it?"

"Guillotine!"

"Guillotine?" The emperor, along with Pang Taishi and the others, didn't understand. This guillotine is just a thing used by ordinary people, how can it be used as a royal punishment?

The emperor was dissatisfied: "This imperial punishment with a guillotine is a bit cheesy, right? Ordinary people have to use guillotines to feed horses, can it be said that my courtiers should die under the torture instruments of animals?"

Hua Chong smiled slightly: "When he didn't commit a crime, he was a courtier of the heavenly family, and he was a nobleman, but he did evil and caused trouble, and the common people were different from animals? Moreover, this imperial punishment is not one, and can be divided into three categories: dragons, tigers, and dogs, the dragon's head and the emperor's relatives, the phoenix's sons and grandsons, the tiger's head and the traitor's minister, the traitor of the country, and the dog's head and the local tyrants, the inferior gentry, and the bully and scoundrel. All the people in the world are included! Moreover, the majesty that the torture instruments can do, whether it is dragon punishment or tiger punishment, can make the people panic when they see it, and the officials will be frightened when they see it, so that they will no longer dare to have evil thoughts, so as to achieve the effect of shocking people's hearts. ”

After hearing this, the emperor stroked his palms and smiled: "What Aiqing said is very true, what do the old prime ministers, Pang Taishi, and Yue Wang Ye think?"

Seeing that the three of them had no objection to this, the emperor ordered Bao Zheng to design the design according to Hua Chong's suggestion, and the design was completed within ten days, and the grain was paid to Chenzhou on the first day of the next month.

After the order was completed, the emperor scattered everyone out of the palace, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Pang Ji said to Hua Chong: "Hua Chong, Bao Zheng is new, you have to help him cook more in the past few days, and when you leave, I will practice it for you in the palace." ”

There is no need for Pang Ji to say, Hua Chong is also going to find him, you must know that this business trip is going to be Pang Ji's godson, after all, he is a quasi-son-in-law, how could Pang Ji not explain. Hua Chong agreed, and then said goodbye and accompanied Bao Zheng back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Back at the mansion, Pang Feiyan hadn't left yet, and the four catchers were there, so Hua Chong introduced him to Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng saw that Pang Feiyan was Pang Ji's daughter, only to know that Hua Chong and Pang Ji turned out to be Weng's son-in-law, and was very surprised, and then met four head catchers, Bao Zheng encouraged, and each of them sent a meeting gift, Hua Chong beckoned the four head catchers to help Bao Zheng move.

Bao Zheng did not bring many people and things with him, but also Bao Zheng was an official and upright, and did not have any belongings, his brother was in his hometown, and now he was a husband and wife, in addition to Mrs. Li, only Li Cai Bao Xing two housekeepers, a maid and an old mother who served Mrs. Li, and there were four people who made Hua Chong very happy, that is, the four owners of Tulonggang: Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu!

Hua Chong chatted with the four of them, these four are all martial arts practitioners, and they are all famous for Hua Chong, after all, Hua Chong can be regarded as famous in one fell swoop at the Three Holy Lotus Meeting. These four people have no scheming, in Hua Chong's opinion, it is just right to be a thug.

So Hua Chong went to see Bao Zheng and asked the four of them to serve in the school captain's office. Bao Zheng was also very happy, and explained the origin of the four people to Hua Chong. Among these four people, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are underworld figures, while Wang Chao and Ma Han both have martial arts fame, but they didn't bribe the examiner when they took the martial arts exam.

Later, the four of them met Zhan Zhao by chance, and Zhan Zhao saw that several of them had no bad intentions and were all chivalrous and courageous people, so he recommended them to go to his brother Bao Zheng as an errand boy, which was always better than being a bandit, and the four of them followed Bao Zheng from then on.

Hua Chong heard Bao Zheng mention Zhanzhao, his heart was overjoyed, although he was not very familiar, but he still fooled Bao Zheng, he and Zhanzhao are old acquaintances, I didn't expect you to be brothers, since there is this relationship, it is best to invite him to Kaifeng if there is a chance in the future, after all, we are not easy to do this job, Zhanzhao's kung fu is very high, if he comes, the official position will definitely be a big drop, and it can help us a lot.

Bao Zheng also has this intention, the emperor's meaning is very clear, he also thinks that this Fu Yin is not so easy to be, and the more helpers the better. Besides, Hua Chong is Pang Ji's son-in-law, and his first errand was to investigate Pang Ji's righteous son, and it is difficult to say whether Hua Chong will be an enemy or a friend in the future.

The two hit it off, and Bao Zheng immediately wrote a sincere letter to Zhanzhao, asking him to go to Kaifeng Mansion for help. After the letter was written, the two studied the imperial punishment again, and had a draft of the general style, so Hua Chong took his leave and left.

Leaving Kaifeng Mansion, Pang Feiyan led the horse over to inquire about the affairs in the palace. Hua Chongqing knew that it was impossible to hide this from her for too long, so he simply made it clear. Pang Feiyan did not show the consternation that Hua Chong imagined, but was very calm.

"I didn't expect him to end up like this!" Pang Feiyan sighed.

"You expected that?"

Pang Feiyan turned over and got on the horse, and Hua Chong then got on his own horse, and the two walked side by side, sending Pang Feiyan home was already a compulsory lesson for Hua Chong every day.

On the horse, Pang Feiyan said quietly: "Actually, my righteous brother is very good, very righteous, although he came to the Central Plains with his father since he was a child, but there is a kind of boldness of a frontier alien race in his bones, in his words, 'not like the Han people are cunning'." ”

Hua Chong said: "Such a person must be brave and resolute on the battlefield, and lead the soldiers." ”

Pang Feiyan smiled bitterly: "But under the battlefield, he is a complete demon king. Pang Feiyan turned his head and glanced at Hua Chong: "He once strung the skulls of thirteen enemy generals into a string and hung them around his neck in Liaodong and used them as necklaces!"

Hua Chong sighed: "It's really cruel, let such a person go to Chenzhou, no wonder Chenzhou has been a disaster for three years, but I'm afraid that the drought is not as good as the military disaster." ”

"When we sent him out of Beijing that year, my eldest brother secretly said that he would probably not go home. ”

Hua Chong showed a smile on his face: "Your eldest brother is a god." ”

Pang Feiyan said helplessly: "Brother Yi was on the border back then, although he had a brilliant record, but he had a bad record of plundering the people, if it wasn't for my father in charge of the army, I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today." ”

The two chatted and chatted, and unconsciously arrived in front of the Pang Mansion, Pang Feiyan invited Hua Chong into the mansion, Hua Chong shook his head and said: "I still have to go back to Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng just arrived today, I have to invite him to dinner, and the Taishi also made an appointment with me to practice it before leaving." ”

Pang Feiyan is a sensible person, and he is no longer reluctant, and he goes back to the house by himself, while Hua Chong turns the horse's head and goes back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, Hua Chong first arranged for Jiang Fan to go to the restaurant to order a table of wine and send it, and then led the other three to clean up the sanitation of the school captain's office, and then went to the back house to ask Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng finished cleaning up the room at the moment, was drinking tea, saw Hua Chong coming, and said a few words, and then went to the school lieutenant's office with Hua Chong, Mrs. Li saw that they were a table of men, naturally inconvenient to participate, and stayed in the back house, Wang Ma Zhang Zhao four warriors came with Bao Zheng.

Between the banquets, the most talked about was the case handled by Bao Zheng in Dingyuan County. This Bao Zheng is known as the blue sky, and the case is like a god, Wang Ma Zhang Zhao is naturally clear, but Hua Chong and others don't know much about it, so they just took the opportunity to ask.

After chatting about a few cases, Hua Chong did not listen to it as a story, but first asked Bao Zheng to explain the case, and then Hua Chong asked Jiang Fan and others to deduce it by themselves, and then Hua Chong reasoned.

There are some bizarre and bizarre cases in these cases, although Jiang Fan and others are famous for catching fast, but they have guessed half of them correctly, Hua Chong relied on some memories of his previous life and criminal investigation experience, and basically guessed eight or nine.

This surprised Bao Zheng, he didn't expect that this martial arts practitioner was actually a master of solving cases, and even Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others were impressed by Hua Chong.

After that, everyone chatted about some martial arts, although Bao Zheng was a layman, but the four warriors under him also knew a little, and after chatting, they even admired Hua Chong's five-body throw, and their favorability increased greatly.

Everyone was happy with this meal, and since then, Hua Chong has often walked around with Bao Zheng, occasionally drinking wine, drinking tea, chatting, and some friendship with the four warriors.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, after the imperial punishment was made, Bao Zheng personally presented the face of the saint, the emperor was also very satisfied, and then issued an order, ordering Bao Zheng to be ordered to go to Chenzhou to put grain for disaster relief, and gave the imperial punishment three ways, along the way to investigate the past case files, acting as a civil word, managing the courtiers, and managing the people, and thoroughly investigating Chenzhou matters!

Bao Zheng, who got the holy decree, hurriedly took people to count the grain and silver, while Hua Chong went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to order troops, and there were a total of 3,000 forbidden troops with him, and the one who led the troops was a deputy general, who was controlled by Hua Chong. What Ling Huachong didn't expect was that this deputy general was not an ordinary person, named Yang Wenju. This person may not be very famous, but his brother is very famous -- Yang Wenguang, the young master of the Tianbo Yang Mansion! This Yang Wenju is not very old, but he has also attained the rank of deputy general, and although it is said that he has the military merits of his ancestors, it is inseparable from his own shrewdness and ability.

The night before leaving, Pang Ji set up wine at home to practice for Hua Chong, and only Pang Ji and Hua Chong participated, not even Pang Long, Pang Hu or even Pang Feiyan.

Pang Ji took a glass of wine and drank it all, put down the wine glass and sighed: "That kid is only thirty years old this year, younger than Pang Long and Pang Hu. ”

Hua Chong also picked up his wine glass and toasted to Master Pang: "He is also more suitable to be a general." ”

Pang Ji nodded: "This is what Feiyan told you." ”

"Yes. ”

Pang Ji sighed: "Originally, Feiyan should have been his wife! If there is no matter of the king of Xiangyang, I want to marry my daughter to him when he returns." Although he was irascible and greedy at times, he was a good general. ”

Hua Chong shook his head: "He may love Feiyan very much, but sooner or later, he will still be beheaded, such a person is suitable to be a marshal in Liao and Western Xia, but not for the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Pang Ji said helplessly: "This may be nature, he is a bold person in his bones, although he was brought to the Central Plains by me since he was a child, I still feel like a Western Xia man." ”

Hua Chong said: "Although he is dead, I am still here, and I am confident that I will live better than him." ”

Pang Ji nodded: "From the moment you appeared, I felt that you were not an ordinary person, Chen Zhou is an opportunity, an opportunity for you and Bao Zheng." ”

Hua Chong drank another glass, looked directly at this Pang Ji, and said seriously: "Master Tai, don't worry, when I come back from Chenzhou, it will be when I am famous all over the world." ”

Starting from Jingshi, Hua Chong and Bao Zheng have their own division of labor along the way, and Hua Chong is responsible for the security along the way, the safety of the transport team, and the work of the front station. Hua Chong and his four catchers are all experts, when they were policemen, they were responsible for safety work, and the four veterans who have been doing county arrest for many years are also not a problem.

This state of Hi Hi Pi lasted until Hua Chong came to Anping Town with the four catchers. According to Hua Chong's memory of the original book, he should meet his future colleagues here, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

But when he came to Anping Town, there were no pedestrians passing by, the streets were deserted, and the already small town was even more desolate.

Jiang Fan was a little puzzled, and said to Hua Chong: "My lord, why is this town so desolate, I have never seen such a scene before, if it is said to be caused by a famine, it will not suddenly be like this, and Linzhen is not so miserable." ”

Hua Chong nodded and said, "There is indeed something suspicious here, everyone should be careful." ”

There are two roads in Anping Town, an east-west street and a north-south street, in the center of these two roads, in the middle of the crossroads, there is a monk sitting cross-legged about forty years old, fat and big, closed his eyes and is silent, the monk's eyes are about five feet away, there is a huge wooden fish, and there is a long-handled hammer about one zhang long in the monk's hand.

Hua Chong was taken aback, how could it be like this??? how is this different from the novel!! where did this monk come from!!
