: Urgent fire attacks the heart

It was a bit awkward for the father-in-law and his son-in-law to meet like this. After bowing their hands to each other, Yue Su coughed dryly, pointed at the Jizhen prison officer standing below, and said, "Sir Ruan, do you know these officials?"

"These are officials from Ji Town. I visited Ji Town during the Emperor's Ming Dynasty and saw them there." Ruan Zhenmei said carelessly.

"It's good to know each other." Yue Su turned his head, looked at the clerk's office, and said, "Read the confessions of these adults to Mr. Ruan."

"Yes, sir." The clerk stood up, picked up the confession he had just recorded and began to read it.

The confessions of these Jizhen prisoners are roughly divided into two parts. One part is the confession that he drank the blood of soldiers and deprived himself of his quota while he was in office; the other part is the statement that when Lord Ruan inspected Bian Town, he gave Lord Ruan

No matter how many gifts I gave, I asked him to help cover it up.

There are witnesses and physical evidence. At this time, any further sophistry would be self-inflicted. As the second assistant, Wei Guangwei has to bow his head and admit guilt when the evidence is solid, let alone others.

When the clerk finished reading the entire confession, Yue Su looked at Ruan Zhenmei with a smile and said, "Master Ruan, do you have anything else to say?"

Ruan Zhenmei held her chest and head high, as if she hadn't heard Yue Su's words at all and didn't say a word. Seeing that he didn't speak, Yue Su raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Ruan Zhenmei, you accepted bribes and concealed the true situation in the border town. Now, now

The evidence is conclusive, do you plead guilty?"

This Ruan Zhenmei, I don’t know what happened today, but she still stood upright and still didn’t speak.

Zhou Yingqiu, who was sitting next to him, thought this was some kind of trick set up by Yue Su and Ruan Zhenmei. He was stunned and shouted: "Bold Ruan Zhenmei, now that there are witnesses and material evidence, if you don't confess again, don't blame me."

The officer is rude to you!"

Ruan Zhenmei ignored him and remained silent. This was good news. All the eunuch party officials looked at Master Yue, led by Zhou Yingqiu and said: "Master Yue, the evidence is conclusive and the case is ironclad, but Ruan Zhenmei

Still denying it, the subordinate thought that there is no need to be polite when dealing with such "treacherous" people. Your Excellency holds the king's order and has the right to act expediently. At this moment, even if you use severe punishment, it is within the law.

Inside."

This is indeed true. Although the imperial court has not completely removed Ruan Zhenmei’s official position and reputation, but when the witnesses and material evidence are all available, you still refuse to admit it. You simply don’t take the Three Laws Division seriously. Yue Su has the king’s order.

Flag card, if you don't tell me honestly now, what's the difference between asking for a fight?

"Master Zhou is right." Yue Su nodded, his face sank, and said: "Ruan Zhenmei, the evidence is conclusive now, if you don't say anything yet, just as Master Zhou said, you will be punished!"

"Huh!" Ruan Zhenmei snorted coldly, staring at Yue Su with a pair of eyes, but she still didn't speak.

"Come here, take Ruan Zhenmei aside and give her a hard fight!" Even if he is his father-in-law, he cannot show favoritism in court in this situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard on both sides agreed, came to Ruan Zhenmei's side, dragged her directly to a spacious place, pushed her to the ground, picked up the board, and started beating her hard.

"Crack, crackle!" After only a dozen boards were played, Ruan Zhenmei was beaten until she cried for her father and mother. This old guy was not young, and he had always been an heir of poetry and calligraphy. He had never experienced such suffering. After playing fifty boards, he was already unconscious.

Die.

"Pour cold water on the person to wake him up!" Seeing Ruan Zhenmei fainting, Zhou Yingqiu was the first to shout loudly without Yue Su's instructions.

In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Yue Su was the authority. Even though Zhou Yingqiu shouted at the top of his lungs, the officer still raised his head and looked at Mr. Yue. Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "Pour cold water on the person to wake him up."

With his words, the officer dared to take action. After splashing Ruan Zhenmei awake, the old guy said powerfully: "It hurts me too..."

"Since you know it hurts, just do it truthfully to avoid skin pain." Zhou Yingqiu said with a cold smile.

Ruan Zhenmei didn't even look at Zhou Yingqiu. She reluctantly raised her head to look at Yue Su and said, "Master Yue, even if Ruan dies in the hall today, he will never admit it. If you have the ability, just beat me to death. You are arrogant.

Yue’s husband, after all, is also my half-son of Ruan Zhenmei. If you are disobedient and unfilial in court, aren’t you afraid of retribution? People are doing it, and God is watching. If you do something wrong, you will be punished by God. I’m afraid you will die in the future.

I’m even more ugly!”

"Unbridled!" Yue Su threw the gavel tree down and shouted loudly: "This is the hall of the Ministry of Justice. The hall of the Ministry of Justice handles affairs impartially. The so-called loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. I am loyal to the emperor today. Please forgive me for not being able to be filial to my father-in-law! Someone is here.

Ah, put on the stick!"

"Yes!" the officer agreed, took the stick and walked towards Ruan Zhenmei.

At this time, Ruan Zhenmei cursed loudly. "Yue Su, Yue Su, I was so frightened that I married my daughter to such a white-eyed wolf like you. You talk so much about benevolence and righteousness, and it's not for the sake of your Qingtian reputation. You are also a father."

Born and raised by my parents, today *** says that loyalty and filial piety cannot have both ends. Well, if I have a spirit in heaven after my death, I will make sure that you will never see your parents again in this life!"

"Bastard..." After hearing what Ruan Zhenmei said, Yue Su was furious. He stood up suddenly, slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Move... pounce..."

Before he could finish his words, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and his body fell backwards.

"Bang!"

His body first fell on the chair, but with the inertia, he leaned back again and flipped to the ground together with the chair.

"grown ups!"

Tie Qiu and Tong Zhou who were standing aside were horrified when they saw this scene and hurried over to help him. The officials of the Sanfa Department were also confused and quickly got up and ran over to ask.

"What's wrong with Mr. Yue?" "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Yue?"...

Tong Zhou checked Yue Su's breathing and saw that he was still breathing, so he said: "My lord is not dead, he just fainted. Go and ask the medical officer for diagnosis and treatment."

If the prisoner faints from pain, he can splash cold water to wake him up. This Yue Su is not a prison officer. If he faints, whoever dares to splash him with water will do it. Tong Zhou and Tie Qiu quickly carried Yue Su to the back room to rest, and other officials could not

After the interrogation, he ordered the prisoners to be returned to the prison. Those who should report to the emperor should go and report to the emperor. Those who should be escorted behind should be escorted behind. Anyway, this case does not need to be tried.

The emperor was currently working in the Yangxin Palace. When he received the report that Yue Su had fainted in the lobby of the Punishment Department, he immediately became anxious. He immediately sent an order, sent an imperial doctor there, and personally took charge of the Punishment Department.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Punishments, no officials, big or small, came out to respond. Zhu Carpenter had no time to pay attention to them and just asked Yue Su how he was doing.

"Back to the emperor, the medical officer has already examined and treated him. He said that Mr. Yue fainted due to a sudden attack of anger. His body is not seriously injured." Li Chaohai was the first to answer.

After hearing this answer, Zhu Carpenter's nervous mood calmed down. He walked straight inside and was led by the officials to Yue Su's duty room. The emperor did not let anyone else in, but just brought the imperial doctor in. Tie Qiu and Tong

Zhou hurriedly greeted the emperor. Zhu Carpenter understood, waved his hand, and walked to Yue Su's bedside.

First, he took a look at Yue Su's complexion and thought it was pretty good. He turned to look at the imperial doctor and said, "Come and check Master Yue's pulse quickly."

The imperial doctor almost ran to the bedside, sat down and checked Yue Su's pulse. After checking for a while, he stood up and said: "Long live Qi Zun, Mr. Yue's body is not seriously injured. The reason why he is unconscious is probably due to a sudden attack of anger."

It's caused by drinking two flavors of "medicine" that can calm the mind and clear away fire, and you should be able to recover."

"Then why don't you hurry up and prescribe a prescription?" Since the imperial doctor's words were the same as what the medical officer said, Zhu Carpenter was relieved. But then he began to wonder, why was Yue Su so fine when he went to court in the morning, so why did he suddenly become so anxious?

He looked at Tong Zhou and Tie Qiu and said, "Do you know why Yue Qing became so anxious that he fainted?"

"Going back to the emperor, today my lord is sitting in court to try Lord Ruan. This Lord Ruan is my father-in-law..." Tong Zhou immediately told Zhu Carpenter everything that happened during the trial.

.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "I see. Yue Qing is indeed my most loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty, but it's just hard for him. In this way, you stay and look after Yue Qing, and when you go out to convey my will, just tell me

We want to go to court now and try the case on behalf of Yue Su!"

"Little Zunzhi!"

Tong Zhou agreed and immediately ran out to spread the word. When he heard that the emperor wanted to hear the case in person, none of the ministers had anything to say, so they had no choice but to follow the orders and go to court for the second time in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

Strange to say, I don’t know whether it was due to Zhu Carpenter’s imperial authority or some other reason. As soon as he sat down in the lobby and asked questions, Ruan Zhenmei immediately confessed his crime. Zhu Carpenter asked him why he didn’t say just now,

Ruan Zhenmei can also say that Yue Su is her son-in-law. It is against the laws of nature to let her son-in-law come to interrogate her father-in-law. Even if she is beaten to death, she will not admit it. Now that the emperor is personally intervening, even if she has the courage, she will not admit it.

Dare not to recruit.

What he said was reasonable and reasonable. Zhu Carpenter nodded, and immediately asked Ruan Zhenmei to sign and deposit it, and pronounced the sentence on the spot. "Distributed to Yunnan, never to be used again!"

Distribution is considered a severe punishment, second only to the death penalty. Although Zhu Carpenter's sentence made the eunuch officials dissatisfied, those little minions in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment dared to say such nonsense.

Moreover, this dispatch is very skillful. Yue Su's other father-in-law, Mu Qiyuan, the Duke of Guizhou, was in Yunnan for a long time. You sent Ruan Zhenmei there and said that he was exiled to the army. To put it bluntly, you didn't let him live in the Mu family for retirement.

It can be seen from this that Carpenter Zhu is really not unkind to Carpenter Yue.

Unfortunately, Carpenter Zhu didn't know that he had fallen into Yue Su's trap. In other words, he had actually fallen into Li Yuanchen's scheme.

This idea was also Li Yuanchen's idea. He asked Yue Su to eat more foods that are easy to get angry these days, and the night before the witness arrived in Beijing, he asked the Ruan family to visit the prison in the Ministry of Punishment, and told Ruan Zhenmei that by the day of the trial,

Even if he beat him to death, he wouldn't do it, so he scolded Yue Su for being unfilial. After being scolded again, Yue Su bit off the tip of his tongue, spit out the blood, and pretended to faint again. There are no other explanations for the illness he suffered except the sudden attack of the heart.

Even a doctor would say this.

However, Li Yuanchen did not expect that Carpenter Zhu would interrogate him in person. He only expected that the emperor would give him a lighter sentence.
