"I don't know what the future holds for me when I go here. Either I will be promoted to a higher position, or my life will be in danger if I die.
But I still hope you can follow me. If I'm lucky, maybe I can avenge you.
And you alone, no matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you will never be able to defeat the countless guards around Zhang Quefu.
I don’t know, can you trust me? "
Di Ying was originally not sure about her future, and she had the same idea as Peng Liang: not to drag the other party down.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that his life was definitely not that short-lived, so he could hope to avenge Peng Liang.
If Peng Liang plotted revenge by himself, he would probably die in vain.
Over the past few days, Di Ying had admired Peng Liang very much and did not want to see him die like this.
"My lord, from the moment I called you my lord, I wanted to follow you all the time. But..."
Hearing Master Di's heartfelt words, Peng Liang wiped his face.
A pair of starry eyes turned from gray to brilliant.
These days, he is deeply impressed by the lord's magical methods and extremely clever mind. Moreover, he was really worried that the adult was alone.
I have long wanted to protect each other, but I have always been stuck with the word "drag", so I didn't dare to speak.
Now, when I heard that the adults took the initiative to invite me, I have to say that Peng Liang was very excited.
"Haha," Di Ying interrupted him with a smile, looking at Peng Liang's handsome three-dimensional facial features and his starry eyes that instantly added to his look.
He opened his mouth and said, "For me, the road ahead is much more dangerous than for you. Between us, whoever is dragging us down is not certain. You also need to be mentally prepared."
"Peng is willing to follow you, sir!"
At this time, Peng Liang knelt down on one knee without hesitation and solemnly replied with standard military salute.
Di Ying stood up, held him up with both hands, patted the other party's shoulder, and pressed hard.
He didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong, but for now, the two of them relied on each other and each got what they needed.
What he didn't even know was that what he did in Bingzhou had already been heard by heaven.
…
Capital City, Jinluan Palace, morning court.
The empress listened to the quarrel below again. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, then patted Long Ben and said, "If you want to quarrel, just go out and quarrel. When can you get a charter, come back and report it to me."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence below, and the two parties, who were about to start a fight, stood back to their original positions.
The empress, who was nearly fifty years old, moved her tired waist, glanced at the ministers below, and asked: "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I will leave the court."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
At this time, Zhang Jiefu, the official minister, stood up with a wat tablet in his hand.
The empress raised her eyelids. I cursed in my heart: This morning has been going on for an hour, this guy didn’t say it earlier or later, but he decided to say it now.
But since there was something going on, she couldn't pretend she didn't hear anything, so she raised her finger slightly to signal the other party to continue.
Seeing that he had received permission, Zhang Quefu said loudly: "Your Majesty, I received a report from below yesterday.
It was reported that Bingzhou Fa Cao and Di Ying openly set up a public trial platform to try Bingzhou Governor Ma Guangjin, Bingzhou Governor She Jianhong, Bingzhou Governor Shi Mengzenglu, etc., as well as the children of the Ma family and the She family, a total of forty-nine people.
So far, the Ministry of Punishment has not received the corresponding case files. And not a single prisoner was escorted to Dadu. "
"oh?"
When the empress heard about the public trial, she was still a fifth-rank petty official interrogating local third-rank civil and military officials. She suddenly became a little interested, and she sat up straight and looked at Zhang Fufu.
He asked: "This Di Ying is very courageous. Did he follow the criminal to Beijing? Oh yes, the criminal has not been escorted yet. What is going on? Is the trial not clear? Or is there someone obstructing it?"
"That's it, Your Majesty..."
When Zhang Caifu heard the emperor ask this, his face with thin eyebrows and narrow eyes showed anger. He bowed deeply again and announced: "Your Majesty, all those prisoners are dead..."
"Um?"
The emperor was now surprised.
He stood up, pointed at Zhang Jiefu, and said sternly: "Tell me! What's going on!"
The murder of a third-rank civil and military official in the imperial court was a major event that shocked both the government and the public. Who on earth has such courage? !
Even if they are guilty, it is not the final say of a small fifth-grade Dharma Cao!
This Zhang Quefu was hesitant. Did he not realize the seriousness of the matter? Or do you want to get some benefit from it?
Absolutely abominable!
"Reporting to your majesty, it was Di Ying, the Dharma minister Di Ying, who encouraged the people of Bingzhou to tell the people in public, and...
He finally incited the people and beat Ma Guangjin and the others to death across the prison van. I heard, I heard that the prison cars were smashed to pieces, and the flesh on the prisoners was bitten off by the common people..."
Seeing His Majesty's power, Zhang Jiefu hurriedly reported back.
As soon as these words fell, before His Majesty could speak, the entire court was in an uproar.
"What?! So cruel? That is a third-rank official of the imperial court. How can he be allowed to be violated by the common people? Where is the majesty of the imperial court?"
"How dare you, Shuzi! Someone should be sent quickly to capture that Di Ying, and he must be severely punished!"
"If he does what he does, where can we put the face of the Ministry of Justice? Where can we put the face of the imperial court? We must be severely punished!"
The civil servants felt that they had lost their appearance, and more than half of them were thinking about how to deal with Di Ying.
Some among the military attachés felt that this kind of move was very refreshing and debilitating, so they opened their mouths and faced off against the civil servants.
"Tsk, you guys are just talking about face, you are nothing. I just think Di Ying handled it very well."
"That's right, the fact that people like Ma Guangjin were torn to pieces by the people in the end means that they must have committed a mountain of murderous crimes. Di Ying is only fifth grade, there is nothing he can do against them, so this is what he should do!"
"What a great job Di Ying! I like this kind of thoughtful official!"
"..."
For a time, there were those who supported Di Ying and those who opposed it, and the argument turned into a pot of porridge.
The military generals used the word "dirty", and the civil servants who used the word "zhang" were scolded so hard that they shouted "disgraceful to politeness".
The empress rubbed her temples and slowly sat back on the dragon chair.
When she first heard what Zhang Caofu said, she was very angry. She felt that Di Ying was too courageous and did not take the court's laws and hierarchy into consideration at all.
But now that I'm listening, I feel that Di Ying isn't that hateful anymore.
If it is really a public trial in front of the people, it means that Ma Guangjin and others really deserve to die. But he was a young official, so he could not be tried or sentenced.
In order to prevent those people from being acquitted in the end, we directly used this method to deal with it. In fact...
Not bad?
It shows that Di Ying's mind is very alert and intelligent. He also has enough courage and responsibility.
You have to meet this person yourself.
