Although Bailiheng's expression was light at this moment, the inexplicable coldness in his eyes made even Wu Chenggang, who had been in officialdom for decades, feel a little trembling.
"Yes, but this is also a misunderstanding. I..."
Before Wu Chenggang could finish speaking, Bailiheng waved his sleeves and said, "Yes, that's fine!"
Wu Chenggang raised his head in fear, only to see a slight smile curling up at the corners of Bailiheng's lips. But the next moment, when Bailiheng raised his eyes, the fierceness in his eyes, like Shura from hell, swallowed him up instantly.
"boom!"
With one kick, the inner breath surged, and the cell door collapsed instantly, and Wu Chenggang who was standing inside was kicked out.
He rolled on the ground, blood dripping from the corners of his lips, and it took him a while to breathe.
After all, he was a civil servant who had been unruly for many years. Although he was afraid, he couldn't help but get up and question Bailiheng.
"Bai Liheng, after all, I am also an official of the imperial court, but you do this to me without asking why?"
"Who says there is no reason? If you hit my man, this is what he should end up with."
"Just because of that kid? You're avenging your personal revenge, so you're not afraid of me going to the Holy Lord..."
"You can't go!"
Bailiheng turned around and said, "If someone enters our Supervision Department, they may not be able to get out. Now that you are here, hehe..."
A sneer made Wu Chenggang's bones feel cold.
"No, I want to see the Holy One. I have something to say about this matter."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. The Holy One doesn't want to see you, and King Maple doesn't want to see you either."
"Bai Liheng, do you really think that you can cover the sky with just one hand and do whatever you want?"
"You're right about that. Here, I just do whatever I want."
Bailiheng walked up to Wu Chenggang, suddenly raised his foot and trampled Wu Chenggang to the ground.
With a cold look, "And, not only will I beat you, but I will also beat your son!"
After that, footsteps came from outside.
"What are you doing, why are you arresting me? Do you know who I am?"
Upon hearing the sound, Wu Chenggang's expression instantly panicked.
Because the person who came was none other than his son.
"Guang'er."
"Dad? Dad, please help me!"
As soon as the two met, Wu Guang was dragged away by Zhang Tong and went to the execution hall.
Wu Chenggang roared, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, Bailiheng raised his feet.
Seeing this, Wu Chenggang got up in embarrassment and chased after Wu Guang.
As soon as he entered the execution hall, he was pushed to the ground, and Wu Guang was also tied to a torture stake and could not move.
Footsteps came slowly, and when Bailiheng's figure appeared, Wu Chenggang couldn't help but ask, "Bailiheng, don't go too far. I have nothing to say if you embarrass me, but this matter has nothing to do with Guang'er. "
"I know he has nothing to do with your matter, but he has been a romantic person over the years. Because of the lives he lost, you have to help him deal with a lot."
Wu Chenggang's face turned pale, and Bailiheng sat aside with a smile, "Today, let's settle old and new accounts together!"
After saying that, with a glance, Zhang Tong picked up the whip and swung it towards Wu Guang.
For a time, screams filled the entire execution hall, and Wu Guang desperately called for help.
And Wu Chenggang also changed from yelling at the beginning to begging.
"Sir Baili, Mr. Zuo Xiang, I was so disrespectful before. Please show your respect and let Guang'er go. I will be responsible for everything. I plead guilty."
"No, Mr. Wu, you are a dignified imperial censor, you can't just give in to me!"
"I definitely didn't give in. What I said is the truth."
"Really? But how much of Master Wu's words can I trust, and how much of it is what I want?"
There was something in the words, and Wu Chenggang couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing this, Zhang Tong cracked his whip again.
With screams, Wu Chenggang immediately compromised.
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
Bailiheng's lips curled up slightly, and then he waved his hand. Zhang Tong stopped and brought in a pen and ink.
Wu Chenggang confessed everything, and after waiting for the signature, Bailiheng nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and left.
When he walked to the door, he looked back at Zhang Tong and said, "I'll give him another fifty lashes and then throw him to the punishment department."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chenggang was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.
"Bailiheng, I did everything you said, but you broke your promise."
"You must pay for your life by killing someone. Since your son has broken the law, he will be punished by the law, and so will you."
"You're not afraid that I won't admit this confession. It's because you surrendered."
"Okay, now I only want half of your son's life. You can give it a try and send him to hell with your own hands."
"Bailifeng..."
Wu Chenggang gritted his teeth, but at this moment he finally understood the reason why everyone was afraid of Bailiheng.
The screams started again, and the execution hall was wailing.
Bailiheng held the confession calmly and left slowly.
In the next few days, the Supervision Department was busy dealing with the aftermath. Many people pleaded guilty and were punished. After that, the court gradually became peaceful again.
But the Supervision Department was still a step late after all. Although Wu Chenggang's confession was made, Cheng Yangfeng took the first step to plead guilty and escaped again due to poor supervision.
After all, there was only a confession without evidence, and Cheng Yangfeng filled the treasury with tens of thousands of gold, so the matter was dropped.
It was expected that Cheng Yangfeng would be difficult to fight.
Shi Qinghuan returned to Wenyuan after finishing his work in the Supervision Department.
We haven't seen him for many days, but Shi Miaotong's complexion has improved a lot.
Shi Qinghuan didn't ask much, but he thought it was related to Liu Yuan.
I finally took a dip in the hot spring and felt comfortable physically and mentally after coming out.
Shi Miaotong came over with hot soup, smiling attentively.
Shi Qinghuan was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"I heard that a few days ago, Bailiheng general Wu Chenggang and his son were beaten violently in prison?"
"Yes, that's how we got the confession."
"Is it really just for a confession?"
"if not?"
Seeing Shi Qinghuan's dull look, Shi Miaotong sighed.
"Forget it, just say so!"
There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. Shi Qinghuan thought about it and felt a thump in his heart.
She remembered the breath that Bailiheng left after applying medicine to her that day, and then what happened in prison.
Could it be... is it for her?
Bailiheng, how could he protect his shortcomings like this?
Thinking of this, Shi Qinghuan felt warm in his heart and did not think about the reason in another direction at all.
Shi Miaotong didn't notice her expression, "It's the Lantern Festival in two days. We just won a big victory, do we need to take a rest?"
"Yes, it's Lantern Festival!"
Thinking of the Lantern Festival, Shi Qinghuan couldn't help but touch the medicine bottle in her arms.
It was supposed to be a gift for Bailiheng during the New Year, but due to an unexpected incident and later the incident involving He Yu and Wu Chenggang, I was never able to give it to him.
This time, it's an opportunity.
Seeing Shi Qinghuan's absent-minded expression, Shi Miaotong couldn't help but snicker, "It seems that there is an arrangement."
"No way, how do you want to live?"
"I have to go out of the city for something. Yuanxiao, you can spend it by yourself, or you can find the left prime minister!"
Seeing the joking in Shi Miaotong's expression, Shi Qinghuan glared over, "Shi Miaotong..."
The night was dark, the lights in the Prime Minister's Mansion were brightly lit, and Bailiheng was sitting in the study, dealing with the final touches.
Zhang Yue hurried in from outside.
"Sir, there is a message from Wenyuan that it is the Lantern Festival and they want to entertain you."
Bailihang's fingertips trembled and he looked up at Zhang Yue.
"Who from Wenyuan invited me?"
"Su is in charge!"
"Did she tell you this personally?"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Bailiheng lowered his eyes and looked at the archives, but there was a smile on his lips that couldn't be concealed.
"Okay, I will definitely go to the appointment!"
The whole person felt like a spring breeze, and even Zhang Yue felt that everything seemed to be getting warmer.
