Chapter 143 Huaiyou Tigers v Zhongshan White Rabbit
Chapter 143 Huaiyou Tiger v Zhongshan White Rabbit
"Hey, why do I always throw you around every time I meet you? But it's a pity that everyone around you wants to catch you. Are you causing trouble everywhere?"
Xu Ming'er covered her mouth and giggled, and handed the plate to him. Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, unable to reject the princess's kindness, so he had to pick up a lychee and held it in his hand, but refused to peel it.
Come on, he is the defendant! The defendant must have the consciousness to be a defendant. Peeling lychees and eating them in the courtroom is too disrespectful to the presiding judge.
Xu Zengshou didn't stop him, and the girl ran out from behind. Xu Zengshou had no choice but to wave people out quickly. Renyi and Lixin took a look at it and immediately ran away. The soldiers who were showing off all ran away when they saw the bosses.
Without anyone urging him, he immediately followed out and retreated. Wu Busha said blankly to Xu Zengshou: "Grand Governor, this case..."
Xu Zengshou said confusedly: "Isn't the sentence finished yet?"
Wu Busha Khan said: "Grand Governor, it seems that the plaintiff and defendant each expressed their opinions, but in the middle of the story, because Yang Chong violated the national law, he was taken to be sentenced by the Grand Governor. Has this case... been sentenced?"
"You are stupid!"
Xu Zengshou was furious: "You still have to wait for that green onion to come back and discuss with him before making a verdict? He is the chief judge and you are the chief judge?"
Wu Busha nodded and bowed and said: "Oh, oh, I know how to do this."
Xu Zengshou shook his head repeatedly: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be made flat. Go down it."
Over there, Xia Xun said to Xu Ming'er with a bitter face: "Little princess, it's not me who is causing trouble, it's just people who come to my door to cause trouble for me."
Xu Ming'er handed the plate to his hand: "Take it!"
Xia Xun held the plate, and Xu Ming'er freed up her hand to pick up a lychee, peeled off the skin, put the crystal flesh into her mouth, curled her lips and said with a smile: "Just pretend to be pitiful, I don't believe you,
Are you so easy to bully? A person who is so mean-spirited, cruel, and so cruel to yourself, huh, huh, huh."
Xu Zengshou drove everyone away, stood in the hall, hugged his belly, and said helplessly to Xu Ming'er: "Little sister, this... is not a place to talk, uh... are you familiar with Yang Xu and his wife?
"
"Just a few words, just a few words."
Xu Ming'er waved her hand, gently licked the lychee juice on her thin red lips with her pink and tender tongue, and said happily: "Why did you really come to Yingtian Mansion? I thought you went back to Qingzhou."
Xia Xun said: "I originally went back. I stayed in Qingzhou for more than a month and then came to Jiangnan. This is my hometown. The little princess just came back from Peiping?"
"Yeah, I just came back yesterday. It was fun outside, but it's so boring at home. Do you have anything to do? Come play with me if you have nothing to do, okay?"
The two people chatted non-stop. The two clerks from Yingtian Mansion stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at Yang Chong who was being beaten in the yard, and then at the man and the man chatting about homely things in the lobby.
Female, one of them said: "Brother, what should we do now?"
The other said: "Never mind it, we are here to hear the trial. Now that you have finished listening, just go back and report. Go quickly, go quickly. These Qiu Ba are not good people. Don't set yourself on fire."
Under Xu Zengshou's repeated urging, Xu Ming'er was still unsatisfied. She ended the chat with Xia Xun unhappily and was forcibly dragged back to the back hall by her brother. Xia Xun looked around and saw that there was not even a person in charge in the lobby.
No, no one paid any attention to him, so he had to walk out of the lobby alone in embarrassment.
Yang Chong has just finished being tortured. Although these soldiers beat people hard, they don't know the torture skills of Jin Yiwei. If you are a master of Jin Yiwei's torture, if you go down twenty boards, you will live or die, but these soldiers can beat you. Yang Chong's buttocks blossomed, but his vitality was not damaged.
When Yang Chong saw Xia Xun walking out like a normal person, he gritted his teeth and wanted to pounce on him and bite him. However, he struggled a few times but could not get up. His crotch was soaked in blood.
Xia Xun was about to leave, but when she saw his snake-like eyes, she suddenly changed her mind. Instead, she walked to his side and slowly squatted down.
"I have never thought about actively harming others, really not. If someone does something sorry for me, I will also think about whether I have really done something wrong. If I was at fault first, can I forgive you? Yes, I will forgive people. This is not a broad-mindedness, but a principle of life. But you and I are completely different. You hate me, I can see that you have used many despicable and evil ways to punish me, but I just can’t think of it. Understand, what did I do to make you hate me so much?"
Yang Chong didn't answer, just gritted his teeth and sneered.
Xia Xun nodded, asking and answering his own questions: "I understand now, you hate me so righteously because you regard yourself as the sun of the Yang family from the bottom of your heart, and everyone in the Yang family will not follow you around. Yes, it is an unforgivable crime, and it is a crime worthy of death. You are like this, and so is your old man. He is really a descendant, and he has not lost his inheritance."
Xia Xun patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I will not take the initiative to harm others, but if someone comes to harm me, I will not sit back and wait for death. Yang Chong, if you have any bad habits, use them quickly. Time... no Too much!"
After Xia Xun finished speaking, he stood up and left leisurely.
Yang Chong stared at his back with splitting eyes. For a long time, he made a sound and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Yuanzhang wore a yellow forehead bandage on his head and a soft and comfortable semi-old cloth robe. He sat upright on the edge of the couch, with a calm old face like dry tree bark and a sharp light in his eyes. Even if a tiger dies, he will not be intimidated. , not to mention that this Huaiyou tiger is still alive, and its fierce and intimidating momentum made the four chamberlains standing far away in the corner of the palace stoop, unable to even breathe.
When Lao Zhu was angry, millions of corpses were laid on the ground, blood was shed, rivers and seas were overturned, the earth shook, the weather changed, and the whole world was panicked. Even his most beloved grandson Zhu Yunwen was afraid of him when he saw it. Is there anyone in the world who is not afraid?
There is a person.
This person is the little person standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
She was wearing a small green-white diagonal silk jacket with silver trim, a tan boot skirt, and she was holding a kitten in her arms, which looked as cute as a cute little white rabbit.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at her, and she stared back at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently with her big black and white eyes, with a naturally dumb look on her face.
The old man and the young man stared at each other for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud, pointed at the little girl in front of him with his finger, and said helplessly: "You, you, you little girl, It’s really lawless. The court is a place where dignity and dignity are sacred, and it’s something you can interfere with, eh?”
The little girl pouted her little mouth and picked up ink on the ground with her toes, but did not speak. Seeing her look like this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already very old, became very kind, and the last trace of his unhappiness disappeared.
He had to soften his voice to avoid calling the little girl crying, so he could only sigh with a wry smile: "Also, tell your confused third brother, what is my rule that you are not allowed to mention the judgment in a lawsuit? If you don’t solve the case, you’ll have to settle the matter, huh? Why didn’t I know, when was this law enacted?”
The little girl muttered in a resigned tone: "Uncle Huang, it's obviously you who said it. In the appendix of the case at the back of "The Imperial Letter", Uncle Huang clearly said such a thing, but now he doesn't admit it. For someone as big as you, If your words don't count, you'll be wronged..."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and said feebly: "Ming'er, are you mistaken? That is not the "Great Edict", but the "Hongwu Amnesty Edict"!"
Xu Ming'er blinked and said confidently: "Whether it's the Great Edict or the Hongwu Amnesty Edict, it's all what you said, the Emperor! What you're talking about is the imperial edict, and the imperial edict... you have to listen to it. "
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The problem is, Ming'er, you are falsely preaching the imperial edict now!"
"Ah?" Xu Ming'er was surprised and immediately entered a state of natural silence again.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at her angrily: "Little clever guy, don't act stupid with the emperor."
Xu Ming'er smiled happily, ran to him, and said cautiously: "Uncle Huang, what did Ming'er say wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and asked her, "You really didn't mean it?"
Xu Ming'er said blankly: "What did I do on purpose?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that she did not seem to be hypocritical, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, twirling his beard and said: "Ming'er, what I said in the "Hongwu Amnesty Edict" means that all crimes committed before the amnesty will be exempted from the "Ten Evils" "Except for crimes that are not allowed to be pardoned, no matter whether they have been sentenced or not, no matter how serious they are, once they are pardoned, they are not allowed to sue again in the future. Anyone who dares to sue for the previous sin will be punished with the same crime. Do you understand? ?I am specifically referring to the amnesty crimes, not all the cases that have been judged..."
Xu Ming'er stuck out her tongue: "Is that so? Well, Ming'er likes to study... If I don't ask for a clear explanation, what should I do now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "What else can I do? You have poked holes in me, so I have to pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Xu Ming'er rolled her eyes and said worriedly: "Then what if an imperial envoy hears about something..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly: "I will continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Xu Ming'er laughed happily, threw away the kitten, hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's neck, and said coquettishly: "I knew that Uncle Huang was the best to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "Stop flattering me."
He twirled his beard and asked casually: "What is the relationship between Yang Xu and your Zhongshan Prince's Palace? Why do you want to protect him like this?"
Xu Ming'er couldn't tell Yang Xu about saving her and her sister and brother-in-law. Her sister and brother-in-law had repeatedly warned her, so she said innocently: "My brother actually doesn't know him, Ming'er knows him. When Ming'er went to Peking to see her sister, she was hunting foxes in the mountains and almost fell off a cliff. He happened to be hunting there too, and it was he who saved me..."
The deep wrinkles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face relaxed slightly, and he said softly: "Well..., in order to repay the favor?"
