Three officials and seven staff, headed by Ma Baokun, were escorted out of the cell by the guards.
They have been in the cell for more than a month, and this is the first time they have seen the blue sky.
Only when you have lost it can you realize that the most ordinary things in the past are also the most precious. Ma Baokun can't get enough of this blue sky and white clouds.
Soon, they all arrived at the government office lobby.
Looking at Wang Zhengjun sitting upright, Ma Baokun had mixed feelings in his heart. He had never thought that he would also become a prisoner.
Wang Zhengjun said coldly: "Kneel down and listen to the verdict..."
At this time, no one advocates doing their best, such as not kneeling before an official or something.
I saw Wang Zhengjun pick up a document, and then read: "After the trial of the Yuanyang Mansion Office, the case was reported to the court for trial, and submitted to His Highness for approval, the verdict will be pronounced on the officials of the Ceremony Office today..."
It has been approved by Zhao Yanxun, which means that this is the final judgment and there is absolutely no room for change.
"Bao Kun, the master of ceremonies, is not strict with his subordinates. It is difficult for him to hold the position of ceremony. He is removed from his post and transferred to Liaoping..."
Hearing this result, Ma Baokun was relieved. The result was better than he expected.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhengjun read out a few more names. All of these people were dismissed, but no new positions were given to them.
In other words, these people have become ordinary people. Whether they have a chance to stand out again depends entirely on their own abilities in the future.
"Zhao Ping, Wu Zhengyang..."
These two people were minor officials responsible for managing documents and seals. At this moment, they were singled out to speak, which made them feel deeply uncomfortable.
"He was negligent in his duties and caused the seal of the document to be stolen. He is more hateful than a bandit. He should be beheaded as a warning to others!"
Beheading. As soon as they heard it was beheading, the two clerks collapsed on the spot.
"Sir, Mr. Wang... we were wronged, we were wronged!" Zhao Ping explained quickly.
Wu Zhengyang also kowtowed quickly and said: "Sir, I am unjust for holding a low position. I beg you to spare my life!"
"After the verdict is read out, take the prisoner back!" Wang Zhengjun said coldly.
After the reading was completed, the only prisoners were Zhao Ping and Wu Zhengyang, and all the others were dismissed and released.
Looking at the officers arriving, Zhao Ping shouted in horror: "It's unfair, unfair... I want to see His Highness!"
"I want to see His Highness, and I want to report to His Highness!" Wu Zhengyang struggled hard.
Several officers were hesitant, but Wang Zhengjun scolded: "Hold it down!"
So several officers took action and dragged Zhao Ping and Zhao Ping out of the lobby.
Looking at everyone present, Wang Zhengjun said slowly: "You can go!"
"I want to see His Highness!" Ma Baokun said calmly.
After experiencing ups and downs, he has undoubtedly grown a lot.
"Although you have been dismissed from your post, you will be granted an official position in the near future, so you can naturally go to the palace!"
After confirming this matter, Ma Baokun felt more relieved. He was afraid that he would not be able to see Zhao Yanxun.
His purpose in meeting Zhao Yanxun was very simple, which was to plead guilty to him face to face.
I heard someone next to me say: "Sir, can you take us with you?"
The rest of the people showed hopeful eyes, obviously they also wanted to go, after all, who wants to be an ordinary citizen.
Just listen to Wang Zhengjun remind: "You may not be able to enter the palace, His Highness is in the workshop of Gongzhengsuo at the moment..."
Ma Baokun clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Thank you very much!"
Others also thanked him.
At this moment, in the prison, Zhao Ping and his two men were dragged back, and they were crying and howling loudly.
"I want to see His Highness, I want to see His Highness..."
But the guards paid no attention to them and threw the two of them directly into the cell.
The two of them lay on the arm-thick fence, shaking desperately and shouting: "Your Highness... Your Highness... we have been wronged!"
"Your Highness..."
But no one would respond to the two of them.
At the other end of the cell, Hu Xiaolin was removed from his handcuffs and shackles by the jailer.
"Sir, can I go?" Hu Xiaolin was filled with excitement and disbelief.
"If you don't leave, do you want the government to support you? Get out of here." The jailer was very impatient.
Hearing this, Hu Xiaolin became even more excited.
Although he suffered severe torture, he overcame all difficulties and was acquitted.
While walking between the cells, Hu Xiaolin happened to pass by Ma Jin's cell, which made him stop involuntarily.
Ma Jin is sleeping. He and his companions have also been sentenced and will all be beheaded tomorrow.
The sound of Hu Xiaolin's footsteps made Ma Jin open his eyes.
The two looked at each other and heard Ma Jin say: "Xiao Lin, you are really lucky!"
"I am not lucky, I am innocent to begin with!" Hu Xiaolin replied.
Even though he was innocent, Hu Xiaolin still didn't dare to relax, so he had to stick to this point.
Unexpectedly, Ma Jin stood up, knelt down directly to Hu Xiaolin, and said, "Xiao Lin, I can't help you!"
"I lied to you, I brought you to Yuanyang, I forced you to work for Zhu Jinzhang..."
Ma Jin's sputtering words confused Hu Xiaolin, because what Ma Jin said were lies.
He, Hu Xiaolin, was a spy sent by Zhu Jinzhang, and it was some kind of Ma Jin who tricked him into this.
At this moment, Hu Xiaolin didn't know what he meant.
"Brother, I'm sorry for you. I kowtow to you and admit my mistake..."
After saying this, Ma Jin kowtowed to Hu Xiaolin a few times, which made Hu Xiaolin even more confused.
I saw Ma Jin crawling up and down, and came to Hu Xiaolin, and then whispered: "Xiao Lin, you are a kind person, I just ask you to do me a favor!"
"Think about it, if it hadn't been for me, you would have starved to death!"
In this regard, Ma Jin really did not lie. He was indeed life-saving to Hu Xiaolin.
"What's the rush?"
"Liaoping was defeated by King Yong. Please help me take care of my wife and children, and then say...just say that I was bitten to death by a monster!"
Knowing that Hu Xiaolin is a kind person, Ma Jin would make the request at this moment, not to mention that he was already very kind to Ma Jin.
Although it was just a casual act at first, it was indeed a life-saving grace for Hu Xiaolin.
After thinking briefly, Hu Xiaolin replied: "Okay...as long as I can find them, I will definitely help them!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Ma Jin kowtowed quickly.
Looking at Ma Jin inside the cell door, Hu Xiaolin said slowly: "I'm leaving!"
"Okay...walk slowly!" Ma Jin nodded repeatedly, with uncontrollable gratitude on his face.
"You...take care!"
Hu Xiaolin said these words unconsciously. He knew that Ma Jin and others would definitely die.
"well……"
Hu Xiaolin turned around and left. Seeing the miserable appearance of Ma Jin and others, his good mood of being released also diminished a lot.
Just as Ma Jin thought, Hu Xiaolin was a kind man, that's why he was so "compassionate".
After walking out of the prison, looking at the long-lost blue sky and white clouds, Hu Xiaolin smiled.
Unexpectedly, the jailer at the door scolded: "Hurry up and leave, why are you lingering?"
