Chapter three hundred and seventy third public resentment boiling
Liu Ying sat on the chair with a cold face, picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites of the roast chicken, paying no attention to the cry of his biological brother. He had been very frustrated during this period, and finally met the real owner. This time
I felt much relieved this afternoon.
After a while, Liu Ying, who was on the ground, covered her face and got up, looking at her eldest brother timidly. Even though he was blowing nonsense outside, he was actually very afraid in his heart. Otherwise, how could he choose to take office so far away from home?
.
Liu Ying exhaled and said: "Did I tell you, stay at home honestly, your food is indispensable in the Hou Mansion. Now that it has happened like this, it will not only take your own life, but also involve the family.
You are really a piece of trash that cannot be supported by mud."
Liu Chunwen knelt down in front of his brother, pulled his sleeves and begged: "Brother, I don't want to die. I finally survived the troubled times and just enjoyed two years of blessings. I don't want to die like this!"
"Let's go together to pray to the Holy One. Our father has been very kind to him. He said he would repay him. He will not be ungrateful, right?"
Liu Ying pulled him up and sat him down across from him. She also gave him a pair of chopsticks and said, "Of course your Majesty will not be ungrateful, but our Liu family cannot tolerate corrupt officials like you."
Liu Chunde was about to get angry when he heard this, but looking at his brother's indifferent eyes, he suddenly lost his courage. The chopsticks in his hand kept shaking, and he had to pick up a piece of duck meat several times before picking it up.
Liu Ying smiled disdainfully. Even though he was not very capable and had never led an army in a war, he still followed the general as a personal guard on his expeditions. He looked down upon his younger brother who was trying to survive in troubled times by abducting and abducting.
Liu Ying was very full, but Liu Chun couldn't swallow it at all. It was probably because he was treated well on weekdays, so he was not hungry at all. If this meal of food and wine were given to ordinary death row prisoners, it would be enough for them to happily go on their way.
After the food and drinks were finished, Liu Ying stood up and said: "You are almost forty years old. There is nothing wrong with going to see your parents early. You don't have to worry about your family. I will take care of you. Don't talk about that when I meet the Holy Emperor and the Prince tomorrow."
Useless."
Liu Chun sobbed desperately and replied: "I know, I..."
Liu Ying fluttered her sleeves and didn't even look back, and strode out quickly. There was really no other way. If you want me to die, I have to die, not to mention that Liu Chun did something wrong.
After leaving the prison, Liu Ying went straight to an inn to rest. Although she could have stayed at the Cangyang County Government Office, she still had to argue with Wang Shijian, so it was better to stay clean.
Early the next morning, Liu Ying met up with the prefect of Runing and others who had arrived, and the prince greeted the prince outside Cangyang County. As the pawns in the distance surrounded a luxurious chariot, Liu Ying and others knelt down to greet him.
The emperor had no intention of coming out, but Zhu Biao jumped out of his horse and looked at them and said: "No need to pay homage. Let's go to the county government office and talk later."
"I will take your orders!"
Naturally, it was impossible for the huge team to all enter Cangyang County. Only Han Zheng led five hundred elite soldiers from the Duwei Mansion to escort the emperor's carriage and the prince into the county, while the rest were stationed outside waiting for orders.
After entering the city, many people knelt down on both sides of the street. Some were forced to come by the county, and some came on their own initiative. According to the rules, after shouting "Long Live the Mountain", they all knelt down quietly. But after a while, someone shouted loudly:
"I beg the Emperor to make the decision and kill that beast Liu Chun. The common people ask the Emperor to make the decision for the people!"
The officer in charge of that area turned pale. Just as he was about to rush over and scold him, he heard more and more people crying: "Please, the emperor makes decisions for the people."
The noise became louder and louder, and more and more people raised their heads and were surrounded by cars in the center. Yihui Hou Liu Ying's face turned red at this time, but he did not dare to say a word, while Dongping Hou Han Zheng looked at him as if he were watching a show. face.
The car did not stop, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not reply. Zhu Biao looked at the imperial envoy Wang Shijian in surprise. The people would not be so bold without encouragement. It seemed that Wang Shijian was really afraid that Liu Chun would not die.
Zhu Biao turned his eyes and looked at the kneeling people around him without saying anything. At this time, it was stupid to shout that the Holy Emperor will definitely make decisions for the people. It is always a taboo to coerce public opinion.
After all, Cangyang County is not that big. Soon we arrived at the county government office. Han Zheng led people to take over the county government office. Zhu Yuanzhang finally got out of the car. Wang Shijian immediately knelt down and cried.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and comforted him: "I am very relieved that Wang Aiqing has performed his duties faithfully. He will be rewarded when he returns to the court."
Then he strode into the main hall of the county government and sat down. A group of people hurriedly followed. After the Holy Lord took his seat, everyone knelt down again. This time they formally paid homage to the monarch.
Zhu Biao walked aside, and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around, then looked at the prefect of Huaiqing and shouted: "Cangyang County is under your jurisdiction, and Liu Chun is also your official. He has done so many evil things, why do you It was never reported!”
The magistrate of Huaiqing was busy complaining: "Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't report the news when I knew it. It's because I never received any bad news. It was Liu Chun who colluded with the magistrate of Huaiqing to conceal it for him. Although I was lax in my command, It is a sin, but I will never dare to deceive you and ignore my superiors. Please give me a clear warning from the Holy One."
As soon as these words came out, an official crawled out from behind him on his knees. He looked up at the emperor with a pale face and then confessed: "It was the guilty minister who accepted Liu Chun's bribe of five hundred taels of silver. I have concealed what I have done, please forgive me."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry: "Do you think we are some kind of stupid emperor? Just pushing out a few people and trying to get away with it? Bullshit, let me tell you, no one can escape this matter!"
"Come here, immediately capture Magistrate Huaiqing and others, pull them down separately and torture them severely. We want to see how deep the water is in Huaiqing Mansion, are you Wang Aiqing?"
Wang Shijian responded quickly, and then swallowed. He did not expect that the first thing the Holy Emperor did when he came was to capture the prefect of Huaiqing and directly order the torture. This really caught people off guard.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. For what crime did I receive this punishment? How could Your Majesty be angry at someone innocent? Please think again, Your Majesty."
Zhu Biao looked at the officials who were dragged down and had to say that such crude methods were sometimes extremely useful. This would never be possible in future generations. After all, everything must be based on evidence. Without evidence, even if you know he is a sinner. Nor can he be punished.
But nowadays, the imperial power is supreme, and it may not be able to control gossip and the like, but personal life and death can still be easily controlled. Otherwise, what does it mean that the king wants his ministers to die and they have to die?
Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to see Liu Chun, but waited quietly. The interrogators were all from the pro-military Duwei Mansion. Their torture methods were not to mention a group of pampered civil servants, and even hard-core men would not hesitate to speak. .

Zhu Biao was also curious to see it two years ago. It must be said that China's methods in this area have a long history, and many of the punishments make people shudder just listening to them.
