A few months later.
Beijing.
The gentle sunshine shines on the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt cornices, the high-flying shop signs and flags, the sparkling cars and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, the The indifferent and comfortable smiles all reflect that Da Mo is getting better little by little.
The trees in the capital have almost lost their leaves now.
The weather is getting colder, but the sun that came out today has brought a bit of warmth to the people in the capital.
The people in the homes of those criminal officials have been trapped in their homes for more than half a year.
Even if the punishment has not yet come, those people have long wanted to die.
The more critical the situation becomes, the more the Liu family wants their master to come out safely.
No, in the past few months, Sun Yijin, the fourth wife of the Liu family, came to see him more than ten times because of her relationship with Sun Zhicai, the current left prime minister.
However, Sun Zhicai never agreed every time.
Although she seemed careless and unfeeling on the surface, she was still moved by her daughter Sun Yijin secretly.
At this time, it is the right time.
Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, was sitting in his study at home, still busy with unfinished official duties.
In front of the Sun Mansion, nothing has changed, the plaque has not been hung, and the door has not been repaired.
At this moment, an official hurried towards the Sun Mansion with a smile on his face.
If you look closely, you will see that it is Fan He, the censor of Zuodu.
Looking at his smile, there must be something good going on.
"Please let me know, my subordinate has something important to do and needs to see Prime Minister Sun."
"alright, please wait."
After answering, the servant of the Sun family hurried to Sun Zhicai's study.
"master!"
"master!"
Hearing this shout, Sun Zhicai was still busy with his official duties calmly.
It wasn't until the guard entered the room that Sun Zhicai asked, "What's going on?"
"Sir, there are officials outside who want to call you for something important." The guard replied.
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai raised his head and looked at this person with joy:
"quick!"
"Invite him in quickly!"
The guard nodded and responded: "Yes."
Then he hurriedly ran out of the study and ran towards the door.
After a while, Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, led by the guard, came to Sun Zhicai's study.
"master."
"Okay, let's get down."
"yes."
After Taoism, Sun Zhi, the Prime Minister of the Left
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Cai's eyes turned to Fan He, the censor of Zuodu:
"Fan Yushi."
"Look and sit."
Listening to Prime Minister Sun's greeting, Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, responded and found a chair to sit down.
"Here comes someone!"
"Give Fan Yushi some tea!"
After Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai shouted, the Sun family brought a cup of warm tea.
This tea is not expensive, but the taste is good.
After all, the current Da Mo can understand even if he is a good official.
After Fan Yushi took a sip of tea, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, asked: "What is the important matter for Fan Yushi to come here this time?"
After hearing this, Fan Yushi stood up, took out this post from his sleeve, and handed it to Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister.
"Prime Minister Sun."
"Look at this."
After taking it, Sun Zhicai put aside his official duties and took a look.
Fan Yushi, who was sitting on the chair, said: "This is the crime finally determined by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Let's see if there is anything wrong with it, right?"
After taking a closer look, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, became a little soft-hearted. The reason for his soft-heartedness was not the blame of the officials above him, but the blame of the officials' families.
Although officials have made mistakes since ancient times, their family members cannot escape their involvement.
"Is this crime too serious?"
Hearing what Sun Xiang said, Fan Yushi was a little surprised:
"how come?"
"Which official did Sun Xiang think was guilty of the most serious crime?"
Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, sighed, looked at the words on the post, and said:
"It's not the official's fault."
"What I mean is that the family members of these officials have committed more serious crimes."
"Su Yunqi is the leader of this plan. It's reasonable to behead someone in public, but the whole family has to be beheaded, which is a bit heavier."
Hearing this, Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, couldn't help but interrupted: "But since ancient times, when officials make mistakes, the family cannot escape the responsibility? The severity of the punishment imposed by the family is determined based on the severity of the official's guilt."
Sun Xiang sighed again. After all, only those who have been wronged can understand what it feels like.
Although the family members of these officials are not unfair, after all, the crime is clearly determined, but they themselves have not made any mistakes, and they are implicated because of the head of the family, which is indeed a bit unfair.
“I think it’s better that the family members of these officials are not beheaded.”
Upon hearing this, Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, asked in confusion: "What does Prime Minister Sun think?"
“It’s right that when an official makes a mistake, his or her family members will be punished, but the punishment is too severe, so it’s inevitable that some
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
…”
"I see, the family members of these officials do not need to be beheaded. It would be better to be sent to the frontier, exiled to the army, or exiled to Qiongzhou, Liuqiu, or banished to a lowly status."
Hearing what Sun Xiang said, Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, seemed to think so.
Doing so is in line with the benevolence of today's emperor.
"good."
"I will go back and align and revise it now. After the revision is completed, I will submit it to Prime Minister Sun for review."
Sun Zhicai nodded slightly: "Okay."
Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, stood up and said, "Then I will go back first."
"Okay." Sun Zhicai handed the post back to Fan Yushi.
"Cen Sheng!"
"Send away Fan Yushi!"
With a shout, the housekeeper Cen Sheng hurried over and sent Fan He, the censor of Zuodu, out.
Noon the next day.
Many people have gathered at the execution ground in the capital. These people include both young and old.
There were so many people that they were like densely packed ants. If someone’s child didn’t pay attention, he would be lost in the crowd and it would be difficult to find him.
On the execution ground, all those kneeling were officials who were about to be beheaded.
There are Su Yunqi, Yang Youcheng, Cen Wenxing, Ding Liu and others.
The mansions of the officials on the side are also facing inspection.
Lo and behold, Su Mansion suddenly broke into a group of secret guards wearing black clothes and holding long knives.
As soon as they entered, they first arrested all the people in the Su Mansion.
Now all the people were driven out, while the people from Su Mansion were held down, waiting to be punished.
"Your Majesty's decree! All the women in the Su family will be banished to lowly status, the men over the age of fifteen will be sent to the army, and those under the age of 15 will be exiled to Liuqiu! I appreciate this!"
After hearing this, all the ladies in Su Mansion looked frightened.
At this moment, the bold second lady Lan shouted:
"Unjustly accused!"
"Unjustly accused!"
"Our master was once an upright left prime minister!"
"You can't do this!"
After hearing this, the leading secret guard sneered:
"I have the nerve to cry out for injustice."
"I don't care what your master once was."
"All matters today must be obeyed by the emperor."
"take away!"
At this time, the ladies and men of Sun Mansion were taken away.
The furniture and money in the Su Mansion, including the "Su Mansion" plaque outside the door of the Su Mansion, were also removed.
The once glorious Su Mansion was completely ruined. From now on, there will no longer be a Su Mansion in this capital.
