In the Han Dynasty, the Tingwei Yamen was the yamen in charge of punishment. There were prisons in the yamen. If you arrest them, you would not have to go out.

The good one died of illness in prison, but the bad one was taken to the street and beheaded in half.

It is commonly known as "Caishikou".

The people in Luoyang City, whether they are ordinary people, high-ranking officials, or heroes, have one count.

No one wants to come to this Tingwei Yamen, and they usually take a detour.

Yoshimatsu was having breakfast at home in Japan, and suddenly a team of vicious yamen runners broke into his house and arrested him.

He was so scared that he almost ran out of shit and urine.

Just a little bit.

There are rules in the Tingwei yamen. Tingwei is the chief official and does not care much about small cases. Generally, these small cases are left to the deputy [Tingwei Zheng].

But perhaps it was the new official who took office for three reasons. The Tingwei, who had just been in office for a few days, Gongsun Du, a native of Xuantu County, wore a majestic official uniform early, sat in the seat, and personally interrogated the case.

"Kneel down!"

The vicious yamen runner kicked Ji Zheng's knee. Ji Zheng's knees weakened and he knelt on the ground. He was old and could not stand the trouble, but he did not dare to shout, nor did he dare to look up at Gongsun Du, but he was just lying down and lowering his head, trembling.

"Is the imperial physician Ji Zheng in the hall?" Gongsun Du's voice was full of majesty, coldness, and a solemn atmosphere filled the hall.

"It's a villain." Ji Zheng also has a grade, but his attitude was so low that he could not be lower.

"Someone reported you. They colluded internally and externally, and sold the residual medicinal materials from the public at high prices to the Imperial Hospital for royal use. Do you agree?"

Gongsun Du's voice was as sharp as the cold winter.

Ji Zheng shivered and his face suddenly turned like earth. Of course, this matter was true.

This kind of purchase of ordinary folk medicinal materials at the high price in the palace brought him a lot of income and doubled his mansion. He also took three beautiful concubines as he grew stronger, living a beautiful life.

But this kind of thing is normal. When the Ten Constellations were there, the administration was corrupt. He gave Ten Constellations money, but nothing big was going on.

When Dong Zhuo was there, Dong Zhuo only killed people who threatened him. He was not interested in the imperial physician.

Why did it be Zhang Xiu's turn to take over the imperial physician?

This matter is true, but of course it cannot be recognized. As the saying goes, be honest and strict, and there is nothing to resist. Ji Zheng took a breath and suddenly became brave and courageous. He raised his head and bowed to Gongsun Du with a serious look on his face and said, "Report to Tingwei, there is absolutely nothing to do about this matter."

Gongsun Du sneered and immediately gave all the evidence he obtained, including physical evidence and personal evidence. After the big confrontation, Ji Zheng's face was as bright as earth for a moment.

"Please spare my life, I am willing to use money to atone for my sins." Ji Zheng begged for mercy.

There was a ridiculous rule in the Han Dynasty that as long as it was not a particularly serious crime, you could use money to atone for sins, including death penalty.

Gongsun Du sneered and said to the left and right yamen runners: "Put the torture instrument."

"No." A vicious yamen runner immediately responded to the promise and went down to get the torture instruments. Ji Zheng was stunned and said loudly: "Tingwei. Ming Gong. I confessed my guilt, I confessed my guilt. I confessed my guilt, why should I give me the torture instruments again?"

Gongsun Du just sneered, and watched the yamen runner come up with torture instruments, and tormented Ji Zheng to death, almost half his life was lost, and he fell to the ground and dying.

Ji Zheng looked at the ceiling blankly, feeling wronged.

"There is such a thing in the world? I have pleaded guilty and even gave me torture instruments?!!!"

Gongsun Du waved his hand at this time, making it impossible for the left and right yamen runners to go all out, and closed the door. He came to Ji Zheng after coming.

"You are very confused." Gongsun Du lowered his head and looked at Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng was weak, but nodded.

"I just use this method to tell you that I am a cruel person. I can give you torture tools after you confess your guilt. I can also use the Legalist power technique to destroy your entire family and let you lose your sons and grandchildren."

Gongsun Du said something as cold as winter.

Ji Zheng suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Gongsun Du incredible. Then he used all his strength and shouted: "Ming Gong. I am not a serious crime of treason, why do I want to kill my family?"

"You are still smart. You must have a reason." Gongsun Du nodded with satisfaction, and then said lightly: "I want you to involve this matter on your nephew Jiben and nephew Jimiao. If you obey your order, you will kill you three. If you don't obey your order, you will kill your whole family and let you die."

This uncle and nephew have already separated, and this family refers only to Ji Zheng's descendants.

Ji Zheng shivered, feeling his body and mind were cold. After a long time of silence, he said hoarsely: "So this is the Hongmen Banquet. You are Xiang Zhuang dancing with sword in Pei Gong."

"Why must my nephew and grandson die?"

"You don't need to know this. Do you point it out?" Gongsun Du was a little impatient and his voice became even colder.

"Sign up!!!" Ji Zheng gritted his teeth and said. Whoever Tingwei wants to die will die. Just like the King of Hell wants to die in the third update, he will not wait until the fifth update.

No matter what, his nephew and grandson were dead.

He was dead, too.

"Okay." Gongsun Du showed a satisfied smile, and immediately asked someone to take a pen and write, ask Ji Zheng to sign and seal it, and sent a yamen runner to the Imperial Hospital. The Yoshimoto family arrested Yoshimoto, Ji Miao and his son.

That is, "Pei Gong".

Of course, this father and son were arrested suddenly, which was denied. However, Gongsun Du had some methods and Ji Zheng's identification. In addition to Ji Zheng, many people participated in this "medicine" incident.

Gongsun Du also arrested and sentenced him. The incident was as if it was just a criminal case of "medicine".

Including Yoshimoto and his son, Yoshimasato, a total of six people were sentenced to beheading and immediately executed. There was no need to review, and the execution will be held at Caishikou at noon tomorrow.

After the matter was settled, Gongsun Du changed his clothes and came to the Grand Sima Mansion in person to pay homage to Zhang Xiu.

In the study, Zhang Xiu held the handrail and looked at Gongsun Du with a smile. Gongsun Du took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu read it, he smiled and said, "Tingwei did a great job."

Gongsun Du was so majestic in front of Ji Zheng, but he was careful in front of Zhang Xiu and was as obedient as a cat. He even breathed out after hearing this.

He knew who gave his power and status. Moreover, his son Gongsun Kang was still in front of Zhang Xiu. If the father and son want to be rich and prosperous, they must stand with the person in front of him.

Even if it is a sword, it is covered with blood.

"It is my honor to be able to share my worries for Ming Gong." Gongsun Du bent down and flattered lightly.

"Hehe." Zhang Xiu smiled and then exchanged the official documents to Gongsun Du. He also instructed Gongsun Du that the next person also needed to use the law and power to destroy them.

Gongsun Du naturally agreed. After leaving the Grand Sima Mansion, Gongsun Du got on the chariot and regained his majesty and ordered the yamen runners to return to the yamen yamen.

This matter ended here.

But it is also turbulent. The law is in the hands of the lord. Whoever the emperor wants to pardon, he will survive. But now the person who holds the emperor's rights is called Da Sima and General Zhang Xiu.

The Yoshimoto family and his son were killed together, so they were naturally extremely unwilling to accept it. Yoshimoto's wife, Chen, couldn't help but run around. Before Yoshimoto's father and son asked for the execution the next day, they found Zhang Xiu's mansion.

But she did not look for Zhang Xiu, but found Cai, who was sick a few days ago and was treated by Yoshimoto. She begged hard. Cai was a little grateful to Yoshimoto, so she took four maids with her pregnant belly and came to see Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu didn't know the reason, but when he saw Cai coming in with his pregnant belly, he couldn't help but stand up, came to Cai's side and hugged her "bucket waist", and carefully helped her sit down.

"You have just gotten better and you are pregnant with Liujia. Why are you walking around?" Zhang Xiu complained, glaring at Cai's maids and said, "How do you take care of your wife?"

Several maids were so scared that they immediately knelt down and apologized.

Cai quickly pleaded for a while and asked the maids to go down. Then she explained the reason.

Zhang Xiu looked at Cai when he heard this, but unexpectedly she was kind-hearted. His reputation was not good in history. Liu Biao and his son were disturbed by her.

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and replied casually: "This matter is the chief interrogation of the Tingwei, with both personal and physical evidence. Yoshimoto and his son should be sentenced to death."

"There is a favor outside the law. Mr. Ji is kind to me. Please save Mr. Ji." Cai was very sincere and bowed to Zhang Xiu. His snow-white forehead touched the ground. When he raised it, there were some marks on his forehead.

Zhang Xiu said, "But Wenzhe has left, and it is almost noon."

"There are many warriors under the command of the king and the lord, and thousands of good horses are all over the place. Why not send people to recover Wen Zheng and save the dying life?"

Cai pleaded again.

This time, Zhang Xiu stopped talking again. He put his left hand on the handrail and looked at Cai with a smile.

Cai looked at Zhang Xiu's smile and finally realized something. He couldn't help but trembled, and he felt cold. At this time, Zhang Xiu said lightly: "If the king wants his minister to die, he has to die."

Cai immediately stopped talking and dared not say anything again. But he was extra confused.

"Why did Junhou kill an imperial physician?"

No matter what, this matter is just that. Although Cai was grateful to Yoshimoto, he was unwilling to be too presumptuous in front of Zhang Xiu for the sake of Yoshimoto.

She quickly took the maid away, but she did not go back to her bedroom. After thinking for a while, she went to the bedroom of a beautiful concubine whom she had always been close to. Before leaving, she said to the maid: "Go back and tell Mrs. Ji that I have tried my best. However, the laws are like a mountain and cannot be changed."

After pausing, Cai ordered again: "I ordered someone to take out the wooden box under my bed, and took ten golden cakes and gave them to Mrs. Ji."

"No." The maid responded to the promise and immediately went down. After that, Yoshimoto's wife, Chen, left the Grand Sima Mansion crying.

After Zhang Xiu learned about this, he did not stop Cai. His purpose had been achieved and he had no intention of implicating the rest of the people.

It’s really just “If the king wants his minister to die, his minister must die.”
