Chapter eight hundred and twenty second liquidation
"Your Majesty, Song Qing, comes to see you. Long live my emperor."
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Qing straightened up and looked sideways at the group of prisoners behind him.
He looked at the panicked faces of the prisoners and snorted with a cold look.
"Hmph, you bastards, why don't you salute His Majesty quickly?"
A group of prisoners who were already in a state of confusion heard Song Qing's soft drink and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"The guilty minister...the guilty minister Lu Changsheng comes to see your majesty, long live my emperor."
"The guilty minister Zhang Bo comes to see your majesty. Long live my emperor."
"The guilty minister Wang Pingle is here to see your majesty, long live my emperor."
"The guilty minister Guo Qingjiang..."
"..."
After more than 20 prisoners knelt down, they managed to keep their bodies from collapsing on the ground and bowed to Liu Dashan one after another.
Because of the obstruction of the crown on Pingtian Crown, a group of prisoners could not see the true appearance of Young Master Liu.
Otherwise, when they saw Mr. Liu's appearance, they really didn't know what they would think in their hearts.
Young Master Liu looked coldly at the group of prisoners kneeling a dozen steps away from him through Mian Qi, who was shaking slightly in front of his eyes.
Staring quietly at the trembling prisoners, Young Master Liu gently tapped the hilt of the Heavenly Sword at his waist, but did not speak for a long time.
Seeing Young Master Liu looking like this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird.
The civil and military officials who were whispering in the hall instantly became silent. They sat upright with nods and lowered eyebrows, staring intently at the Chao Hut in their hands.
Liu Chengzhi, Little Cutie, and their brothers and sisters also quickly stopped talking and straightened their postures honestly.
Liu Chengzhi, Liu Yaoyao, Xiao Kaitai, the princes and princesses of the current dynasty, and all the civil and military officials in the palace all looked like this.
Not to mention the one hundred people on both sides of the hall.
Some of the timid people were already shaking uncontrollably.
In just a dozen breaths, the hall became completely quiet.
Quietly, you can hear the needle drop.
In this situation of government officials, I don't know when, many people in the palace had fine beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads.
After a long time, Young Master Liu let go of the Heavenly Sword in his hand with a calm expression.
"Little Chengzi."
"The old slave is here."
"Let someone bring everything in."
"Old slave, I obey."
Little Chengzi shook the whisk in his hand, turned around and shouted loudly outside the palace door.
"His Majesty has spoken and ordered to serve the royal meal."
After Xiao Chengzi's voice fell, groups of palace maids and eunuchs carrying trays walked into the hall together.
The common people on both sides of the hall were obviously stunned when they saw groups of palace maids and eunuchs walking towards them.
The palace maids and eunuchs placed the food on the trays in front of the people without saying a word, and left the hall in an orderly manner.
When the last group of palace maids and eunuchs walked out of the hall, Xiao Chengzi shouted loudly again.
"Second batch."
After a while, another large group of palace maids and eunuchs walked into the hall carrying trays, and walked straight towards the civil and military officials who were kneeling behind the people.
Little Chengzi walked quickly to a little palace maid, reached out and took the tray in her hand and returned to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, this is yours."
"Okay, let it go."
"Old slave, I obey."
Little Chengzi nodded, holding the tray and heading towards the bottom of the dragon platform.
"etc."
"His Majesty?"
"Just put it on the ground."
"yes."
Xiao Chengzi naturally knew Mr. Liu's character and put the tray in his hand on the ground without hesitation.
After the second group of maids and eunuchs left, Young Master Liu sat cross-legged on the carpet in the center of the palace under the astonished eyes of more than a hundred people.
Compared to the shocked expressions of the people, the civil and military officials in the palace did not show the slightest surprise on their faces.
They were already used to it being strange for Young Master Liu to sit on the floor and eat.
Isn't His Majesty just sitting on the ground drinking a bowl of mutton soup? Is there anything so strange about that?
Many times in the past, His Majesty would sit on the ground and eat noodles!
Moreover, I did this more than once.
Just when Young Master Liu was about to reach out to pick up the bowl, he seemed to want something and became hesitantly silent.
After a while, Young Master Liu raised his eyes and glanced at the prisoners who were still kneeling on the ground, and sighed softly.
"Little Chengzi."
"The old slave is here."
Young Master Liu pointed at the group of prisoners not far away.
"Give them a bowl."
"Yes, I obey my orders."
After thinking over and over again, Mr. Liu was ready to let these bastards have enough to eat before heading out on the road.
Even if they are ghosts, at least let them be dead ghosts.
As for whether they are in the mood to eat it or not, that is their own business.
Young Master Liu reached out to pick up the mutton soup in the tray, picked up the kuaizi and tapped it lightly on the soup bowl a few times.
"Common people, today is a grand meeting of the imperial court.
According to the rules, people usually get up early for the imperial meeting.
I invited you into the palace early in the morning. I guess you haven't had time to have breakfast yet!
Therefore, I specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some mutton soup for you and some food to fill your stomach.
That’s all the good and bad, I hope you don’t dislike it!”
The common people looked at Mr. Liu blankly, turned around, and subconsciously looked at the mutton soup in front of them.
His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor actually asked the imperial kitchen to prepare mutton soup for ordinary people like himself?
Aren't you dreaming?
Young Master Liu looked at the stunned reactions on the people's faces and coughed a few times.
"Cough cough cough."
The common people's bodies trembled, and they subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards Young Master Liu.
"Common people, I am not a man-eating tiger, so you have nothing to fear.
Come, come, come, you're welcome, let's continue the discussion after we've had enough to eat and drink."
Liu Chengzhi, his brothers and sisters, as well as all the civil and military officials in the palace, all knew the character of Young Master Liu.
Besides, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice in the court.
Therefore, they were naturally not polite and picked up their own soup bowls one after another.
Young Master Liu blew on the hot soup in the bowl and raised his eyes to scan the people on both sides of the hall.
Seeing the common people who were clearly swallowing their saliva but still didn't dare to pick up their bowls, Mr. Liu frowned slightly.
"Fellow people, I order you to eat and drink all your food.
Anyone who doesn’t move the bowl quickly is disobeying the order!”
When Liu Song heard Young Master Liu's feigned displeasure, he put down the soup bowl in his hand and waved happily to the people on both sides.
"Everyone, you have all heard it.
This is His Majesty's will. If any of you disobey the will, Your Majesty will be angry."
Hearing what Young Master Liu and his servant said, the people looked panicked and quickly took the mutton soup in front of them in their hands.
Young Master Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people who had already started eating despite their nervous expressions.
The common people pretended to be calm and drank the mutton soup from their bowls, peeking at Young Master Liu from time to time.
Young Master Liu noticed the gazes of the people, but did not react at all. He still drank the hot soup in the bowl silently, and from time to time picked up a piece of mutton with a tassel and put it into his mouth.
When the common people saw Mr. Liu taking a bite of pancakes and a mouthful of soup, they gradually relaxed from their originally tense mood.
At this point, they finally realized it.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is really just like those rumors spread among the people.
He is so diligent and caring for the people, and so approachable.
Some people who originally only dared to sip the soup finally dared to pick up the food next to them.
During this period, Xiao Chengzi led a group of young eunuchs and walked into the palace again.
After placing a piece of food for each of the prisoners kneeling on the ground, he silently exited the palace gate.
A group of prisoners kneeling on the ground looked at the food placed in front of them, their faces becoming more and more frightened.
After a long time.
Some officials who had already signed and deposited their names looked at the food in front of them, seemed to have figured something out, and directly picked up the bowls in front of them.
They had already confessed their crimes and signed their names.
Therefore, they naturally know very well what will happen to them and others.
Perhaps, their thoughts at this moment are the same as Young Master Liu's previous thoughts.
Even if you die, you must at least be a well-fed ghost.
As for the remaining officials, they were still kneeling on the ground without any movement, as if they did not see the food in front of them.
And these officials were the ones who had been promised by Liu Dashao last night to save their lives.
They still hold a hope in their hearts.
A hope to continue living.
Young Master Liu passed through Mianqi in front of him, glanced at the officials with a playful look, and raised a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.
After about a moment of burning incense, Mr. Liu looked around at everyone in the hall.
Seeing that they were all full and full, he put the bowls in his hands on the tray.
"Little Chengzi."
"The old slave is here."
"Remove the bowl quickly."
"Old slave, I obey."
After a group of palace maids and eunuchs left the Qinzheng Hall, Mr. Liu stood up slowly, holding the hilt of his sword with his backhand.
I drank the mutton soup and ate the food.
It's time for reckoning!
"Chengzhi."
"My son is here."
"Go and take off the rice paper from the eucalyptus."
"yes."
Liu Chengzhi trotted to the dragon platform, picked up the stack of rice paper filled with confessions, and quickly returned to Liu Dashao's side and stopped.
"Father."
Young Master Liu took the document from his son's hand and walked towards the group slowly.
"Yezhou Governor Yu He."
"The guilty minister, the guilty minister is here."
Mr. Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the middle-aged official kneeling in the first row, second from the left, and picked up the first piece of rice paper and gently shook it a few times.
"Is it easy to earn money from the wealthy businessman Ding's family in Yezhou City?"
"The guilty minister knows his crime, and the guilty minister deserves to die."
Young Master Liu looked at Ye Zhou, who was already slumped on the ground, and picked up a piece of rice paper from his hand again.
"Sima Xiaogang of Fengzhou, Nie Changlu, the magistrate of Yingxian County under Fengzhou.
I would like to ask you two dear friends, what has happened in the past half year or so.
Have the innocent souls of the forty-eight members of the Wu family in Fengzhou come to seek your life?"
Two of the officials sat down and kowtowed directly to Young Master Liu.
"The guilty minister knows he is wrong, the guilty minister knows he is wrong."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Young Master Liu pinched the rice paper in his hand, looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and kowtowed sternly, and snorted hard.
"Huh, forgive me? Spare your life?
When you two bastards said these words, did you ever think about how you two bastards treated the Wu family of forty-eight old, weak, women and children half a year ago?
Not to mention that you guys are colluding together and embezzling the Wu family's property.
Actually, in the name of the imperial court and on trumped-up charges, he planned to eradicate the last single sapling of the Wu family."
When Mr. Liu said this, a cold and stern look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the two people kneeling in front of him and took a heavy breath.
"Xiao Gang, Nie Changlu, you two bastards are really capable of killing someone!"
"My crime deserves ten thousand deaths, my crime deserves ten thousand deaths."
Young Master Liu grabbed the rice paper in his palm, raised his right foot and kicked the two of them on their shoulders.
The two of them groaned, lying on the ground, covering their painful shoulders and twisting.
When a group of prisoners saw this situation, they all trembled involuntarily.
Young Master Liu glared at the two of them fiercely, and his palms holding the rice paper crackled loudly.
"A crime worthy of death? I really wish I could let you die ten thousand times.
It's a pity that God didn't give me this opportunity.
You two bastards, it's enough to die once."
The two men's bodies trembled violently. They endured the pain on their shoulders and hurriedly crawled towards Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
Young Master Liu didn't even look at the two of them, and directly picked up the rice paper for Chapter 3.
"King Wuyi."
"I'm here."
"Um!"
"I obey."
Song Qing straightened up and waved directly to the two Forbidden Army soldiers next to him.
"Take custody."
"It's an order."
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!"
"Don't drive Zhao Renyi in Luozhou."
"The guilty minister is here."
"Zhao Renyi, Renyi, what a good name!
It's a pity that you have failed your parents' expectations."
"I am aware of my guilt."
"Since you are willing to plead guilty, I will say nothing more."
"Cheng Zhenjun, the magistrate of Hehua County under the jurisdiction of Kezhou."
"The guilty minister is here."
"You, a small county magistrate, really opened my eyes!"
"My crime deserves death, but I am willing to be punished.
However, the wife, children, and children of the minister's family did not know the evil deeds he committed in private.
I boldly beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare their lives.
Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
Young Master Liu looked at the official in front of him with cold eyes. Without saying anything, he turned to look at another official.
"Xuanzhou Governor Zhou Guangming."
"The guilty minister is here."
“The horses were driven into the streets, causing three deaths and nine injuries to the people in the city.
Your nephew is really capable!
And as a parent official of the people of a state, in order to cover up the obstruction committed by your nephew, you directly committed acts of favoritism and perverting the law.
Faced with the victim's family members who came to the governor's office to complain, they first ignored them.
In the end, due to pressure, he was even charged with rushing into the court.
The father of one of the deceased, Shen Laoshuan and Shen Laohan, was dissatisfied with the verdict and threatened to go to the Xuanzhou Governor's Mansion to file a lawsuit to seek justice for his dead son.
And you, the parent official, want to protect your nephew.
He actually ordered someone to take Old Man Shen to prison on the spot, and charged him with disturbing the court and beating an official of the court.
In order to ensure that my nephew's crime would not be spread out, in the end, Old Man Shen was sentenced to the death penalty of being beheaded by the queen."
Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled a few times with a gloomy expression.
"Hehehe, Zhou Guangming, Zhou Guangming, you are really a good uncle that is rare in the world!
However, I wonder if your nephew will feel sad for your good uncle after knowing your fate.
