Chapter 509 Are you sick? What are you doing out at this time?
The Holy Master glanced at Junze coolly and said: "Abuse of lynching? Cause mutiny? Jun Aiqing, is this possible?"
Junze held his breath in his heart. When a person is unlucky, his teeth are filled with cold water.
Recently, he has been cautious in his words and deeds, but he still hasn't been able to avoid being deliberately criticized.
Junze took a step forward and said: "Three days ago, several officers and soldiers deliberately trampled on people's fields while performing martial arts. When I found out, I punished a few people according to military regulations. But if you say that abuse of lynching caused mutiny, it is absolutely not the case.
.”
The old censor said: "Your Majesty said that you should practice martial arts. Those officers and soldiers also wanted to complete the military affairs assigned by you as soon as possible. It is understandable that they trampled on the fields. But the accident has happened. You did not appease the people or make up for their losses.
Secondly, the punishments imposed on the officers and soldiers were too severe, and it made people panic when they heard that some officers and soldiers were unconscious after being tortured."
Junze's face looked ugly.
The reason why he did not appease the people and make up for their losses in time was because the trampled fields belonged to the same clan, and the trampling was not serious and would not affect this year's harvest.
If he singles out the owner of that piece of land and goes to compensate that family in a big way, he will inevitably be resented by those ruffians.
They may be a little afraid of the entire clan, and the clan leader will not be ignorant and push the owner of the field to the soldiers and ruffians just for a small amount of crops.
But if we knew who exactly this piece of land belonged to, and if that person had no status in the clan, these soldiers and ruffians would hold a grudge and hold on to him.
But just punishing those few soldiers and ruffians was acting in accordance with military regulations, and they did not dare to disobey.
This time he was really cruel and went beyond the scope of military punishment.
But the situation is different. Now is the time of harvest and the crisp autumn air is also a good time for military training.
When some ill-intentioned officers and soldiers want to take shortcuts during military training, they often trample farmland.
Due to the majesty of the military households, the farmers dared not speak out.
So he wanted to punish him severely to serve as a warning to others.
He could have argued with these words.
With his tongue, he could silence this old censor who could only talk on paper with just a few words.
But when he looked at the self-righteous face of the old censor and the sage's face, which was gloomier than the sky, he suddenly didn't want to argue.
That’s all.
Even if he is not punished today, there will be other reasons tomorrow.
If you want to accuse someone, why bother?
Jun Ze said: "I was reckless for a moment, please ask the Holy One to punish me."
The old censor was surprised. He didn't expect that the always arrogant and domineering King Xiaoyao would one day confess his guilt.
He thought he was going to waste a lot of words and get angry again, so he secretly kept a quick-acting heart-saving pill in his sleeve.
Others also knew in their minds that King Xiaoyao had really lost his sacred heart and bowed his head to such a trivial matter. It seemed that the Fifth Prince Sect was really finished.
The Holy Spirit said: "Indiscriminate lynching...how many punishments did you use on those officers and soldiers?"
Junze said: "Forty army sticks."
The officials present took a deep breath, the attack was really cruel.
The Holy Emperor seemed to be very disappointed with Junze and said: "Twenty imperial staffs will give you a long memory. Do you have any objections?"
Junze suppressed the injustice in his heart and said, "I deserve it for my sin. Thank you Lord for your kindness."
There was no need for the palace guards to drag him, he walked straight out.
He lay down on the hard stool and let the palace guard raise the long staff high, and then lowered it hard.
The autumn wind is slightly cold, and the air is brewing with moisture.
He gritted his teeth and clasped his hands, but his thoughts were far away.
Was Gu Yu also tortured outside Fengtian Hall like him before?
What is her state of mind?
What kind of unwillingness do you have?
Twenty sticks were said to be more or less. After the execution, Junze knelt in front of the Fengtian Hall with pain.
The entrance is a high threshold and a glorious palace.
He had so many thoughts, but in the end he was just filled with frustration.
The muffled sound of the imperial staff finally ended, and then I heard crackling outside and the autumn rain began to fall.
The Holy One, who was sitting high on the throne, seemed to have forgotten this incident and was discussing matters with some courtiers.
Gu Yu clasped her hands tightly, her eyes becoming colder.
She had also suffered the imperial rod, the pain was secondary, and more importantly, the humiliation in her heart.
For Junze, who is going smoothly, this feeling of humiliation will be even more profound.
The sound of rain gradually became louder, which made Gu Yu feel upset.
At this time, Prime Minister Wang took a step forward and said: "I want to impeach King Xiaoyao and Duke Zhenguo for being lawless and committing murder in the street. My son is still lingering on his sick bed and has difficulty moving. I ask the Holy One to make the decision for me and severely punish the murderers."
The Holy Master frowned and said to Gu Yu, "Gu Aiqing, is this something?"
When Gu Yu heard his name, he came back to his senses and said, "It's true. I beat Wang Pei, the fourth son of the Wang family."
As soon as the words "Fourth Young Master of the Wang Family" came out, everyone on the spot secretly thought: He deserves to be beaten.
The Holy Spirit also feels this way.
Prime Minister Wang took the opportunity and said: "My son Wang Pei and King Xiaoyao's carriage met in an alley. King Xiaoyao was as overbearing as usual and mocked my son. My son was very angry, but he was worried about King Xiaoyao's past behavior, so he swallowed his anger.
I want to give in."
"Who would have expected that King Xiaoyao would not let me go and even dragged my son out of the carriage. At this time, Mr. Gu was passing by. For some reason, without saying a word, he joined King Xiaoyao in committing the murder and hit my son on the head with a stick."
"It's a pity that my son was seriously injured and fell into coma. The doctor said that if Mr. Gu's blow was a little harder, he would be unable to save his life. I sincerely ask the Holy One to make the decision for me."
After hearing this, the Holy Father thought it was absurd and said, "Gu Aiqing, how could you and Jun Aiqing beat Wang Pei together?"
Gu Yu knew that on the day he beat Wang Pei, no one except a few Wang family servants saw it, so he talked nonsense with peace of mind.
"It's because the Fourth Young Master Wang made rude remarks."
The Holy Sage said: "What did he say? Let you two beat him together?"
Gu Yudao: "What the Fourth Young Master Wang said was so unpalatable that I cannot repeat it, and it would be a slander to listen to it."
Although Gu Yu didn't say why Wang Pei's words were offensive, in view of Wang Pei's daily behavior, they all felt that it must be Wang Pei's fault that Gu Yu beat someone with such a good temper.
Prime Minister Wang said angrily: "I think it's not that Mr. Gu can't repeat it, but that he feels guilty."
Gu Yu was not afraid at all. She had had many secret confrontations with Prime Minister Wang, but this was the first time they had come out openly. She could not lose the upper hand verbally.
She said: "I know that Prime Minister Wang has a fatherly heart, but I still suggest that Prime Minister Wang go back and ask Fourth Young Master Wang what he said on the day he was beaten. Then you will know why I can't repeat it."
Wang Pei did not say anything that involved her, but his image was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Gu Yu was sure that Prime Minister Wang did not ask carefully, and even if he asked carefully, Wang Pei would not confess.
Sure enough, even Prime Minister Wang didn't believe that his son could say anything good and hesitated.
But he was unwilling to give in and said: "It's just a dispute of words, but Young Master Gu wants my son's life. Fortunately, Young Master Gu has been in the Ministry of Punishment, but has he ever taken Wang Fa seriously?"
Gu Yu didn't argue with him.
When it comes to seniority, seniority, or the truth of the matter, she cannot forcefully argue.
It was enough for others to think that Prime Minister Wang was causing trouble and she was forced to give in.
Gu Yu knelt down and said loudly: "I know that I am guilty and should not commit murder in the street and hurt the Fourth Young Master Wang."
Then there was another figure outside Fengtian Hall.
Junze said nothing while being tortured. When he saw Gu Yu coming out and kneeling next to him in the rain, he immediately became angry.
Junze scolded her: "Are you sick? Why are you coming out at this time?"
