She just wanted to buy some candied fruits for her children.
Why is it so difficult!
Two rows of government officials rushed over and quickly surrounded the scene. The official swords in their hands reflected the bright cold light: "If you want to ask questions, please go back!"
Xiao Lingyue couldn't stand up to the people in Jingzhao Mansion, so she could only retreat with a speechless expression.
Zhao Chengwei got off his horse with a cold face and walked quickly through the yamen. When he saw the situation at the scene, he was stunned.
The carriage belongs to Prince Yi's Mansion.
There were more than a dozen servants kneeling on the ground, wearing the clothes of Duke Rongguo.
There was also a young girl who was crying like a cat with a painted face and couldn't see her face clearly.
What a complicated and confusing situation!
Look to the side...
"Little Marquis?" The first person Zhao Chengwei recognized was Chu Yuanqi.
He frowned, stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Little Marquis, what's going on here?"
Chu Yuanqi raised his hands and returned the salute: "Master Zhao, His Royal Highness Prince Yi is on the carriage. You'd better meet him first."
Zhao Chengwei was startled. He quickly turned towards the carriage, lowered his head and saluted, "I, Zhao Chengwei, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, have met His Highness King Yi!"
Zhan Beihan's tone was cold: "Master Zhao is coming very slowly!"
Jingzhao Mansion is responsible for the security of the capital.
All civil cases that occur in the capital, whether they are petty thefts or fights, fall under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
According to the rules, after receiving a report from the people, the Jingzhao Mansion must send its officials to the scene as soon as possible. After understanding the situation, the prisoner will be brought back to the Jingzhao Yamen for trial and disposal.
But today, although Jingzhao Yin Zhao Chengwei personally brought people here, the speed was not very fast.
If he had come a step later, Zhan Beihan would have almost finished the matter.
"I have neglected my duty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Zhao Chengwei did not dare to defend himself. He had just come out of the palace, so he was late, so he immediately knelt down to admit his mistake.
"..."
Zhan Beihan calmed down for a moment and said, "It won't be the same next time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Chengwei stood up and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what happened here?"
Zhan Beihan said expressionlessly: "Cui Minjun led his men to commit murder in order to cause chaos in the capital and injure the people. He directly captured it and beat it with a hundred big boards as punishment!"
Zhao Chengwei's pupils shrank: "One hundred big boards?"
Cui Minjun, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at him in disbelief: "Cousin, are you going to kill me?!"
Jingzhao Yamen’s hundred boards are no joke.
She has never had a finger injury since she was a child, and her body is very delicate. If a hundred-weight board was hit, her buttocks would be smashed to pieces, and half of her life would be lost.
Moreover, it is very humiliating for the girl's family to hit the board.
The executioners were all men, and there were people nearby who were counting, and in front of so many people, they used boards to hit such private places...
Don't tell me how painful the beating was.
This sense of shame alone is enough to make an unmarried girl feel ashamed.
This kind of punishment is not much lighter than making her kneel down and lose her legs.
Zhan Beihan ignored her and continued to say expressionlessly: "The servants of Duke Rongguo's palace can't stop their master from causing trouble in the street, so they will also beat him up! All the losses caused to the people today, as well as the innocent people implicated,
The Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion will jointly compensate each other, and there must be no mistake!"
He looked aside with cold eyes: "Chu Yuanqi, do you have any opinions?"
If possible, Zhan Beihan would like to punish Chu Yuanqi as well, but he is not a person who uses power for personal gain.
He could see clearly what happened in the carriage.
Whether it was Cui Minjun who accidentally injured people or smashed vendors, it was all Cui Minjun's fault. Chu Yuanqi just ran away, so he really can't be blamed.
But this incident was indeed caused by him, and he should bear half of the responsibility for the losses caused to the people.
"Back to your lord, I have no objection to this!" Chu Yuanqi lowered his head in submission and said hesitantly, "But..." This chapter has been completed!
