"I am the great-grandson of Taizong. Today, the world still belongs to our Taizong lineage. The emperor is a noble man. I don't believe that this bitter scholar dares to treat our royal family with such indifference!"
Zhao Zong'e never thought that this goose case would be just like a fart, and that he would be brought to court to hear the case!
He specially changed into a Bian embroidered python robe, which means that the officials wear dragon robes for the emperor, and they are also royal relatives, so naturally they wear python robes to show his noble status. What he wants is to give Bao Zheng a disincentive and make him He knew there was a difference in identity and stopped immediately to avoid regret!
Bao Zheng's case was passed down from one person to another, and it had already spread to the palace. Officials in the imperial court gave mixed reviews. Some people said that Bao Zheng was so bold that he ignored the late emperor's royal seal on the case of the gourd monk breaking the gourd. Some said that Bao Zheng was honest and fair. , what we do is fair and selfless, which is really admirable!
There are different opinions in the court, and the key lies in the attitude of the officials. After hearing Bao Zheng's verdict, Zhao Zhen just laughed loudly. Instead of blaming him, he even praised Bao Zheng and said, "You can clearly distinguish between right and wrong!"
Zhao Yunning was also in the hall. When he heard this, he was immediately frightened to death. The officials were trying to kill their family. They could clearly distinguish right from wrong. Who was right and who was wrong? Is this even worth thinking about? What he gave Bao Zheng was the power of life and death. Based on his precious son's urine, Bao Zheng would definitely be beaten!
Zhao Yunning kowtowed repeatedly in the golden palace. Zhao Zhen just pretended to be humane and said: "Brother, get up quickly. What does this mean?"
Zhao Yunning didn't dare to speak good words for his son. He only asked Zhao Zhen to accept his fate and let Bao Zheng get out. Anyway, the goose murder case was solved. It would be good if he could save his son's life! If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood! From now on, just keep your tail between your legs and calm down a little!
Zhao Zhen just pretended to be stupid and said: "This Bao Zheng is mediocre in appearance (very ugly) but he is also a rare talent. The person who solved the case really makes people laugh. Yi Lian looks at it and lets him work hard for a while. Everyone loves you. How about the next one?"
If all the officials could not hear Zhao Zhen's intention at this time, they would be dead. How dare they disobey Zhao Zhen's intention? All the officials would agree with him!
When it was over, Zhao Yunning burst into tears in the golden palace. .
If crying was useful in politics, there would be no need to shed a river of blood. No one sympathized with Zhao Yunning. When the Zhao family was domineering, many families were separated and their families were broken up. Did he ever consider other people's feelings?
Zhao Zonge carried a large sedan chair and was followed (escorted) by the government officials to Kaifeng Mansion. The people gathered outside Kaifeng Mansion. They knew clearly that today this was a criminal who was being tried in the hall. No one dared to offend Zhao Zonge, so the crowd moved away from a distance. After a while, Zhao Zonge snorted, walked through the crowd proudly, and walked into the courtroom proudly!
Not to mention how disgusting Bao Zheng was when he saw Zhao Zong'e's arrogant expression. The more the Song Dynasty made these people arrogant, the harder life would be for the common people. They were not born in this world, but they were just more lucky when they were reincarnated. Born in the royal family, they were born with these privileges. , they studied hard for ten years before getting the honor they have today. How can Bao Zheng be equal in comparison?
"Are you Bao Zheng?"
Bao Zheng patted the gavel, held his sword in his hand and shouted: "Who in this hall should stop being so arrogant!"
Zhao Zong'e sneered and said: "You are just a grasshopper in the autumn, how long can you keep jumping around? When you take this official position, let's see how I deal with you, a black guy!"
But Bao Zheng was not afraid of him and retorted: "You have sinned so much that you will not repent until you die. Come on, please give me a guillotine!"
What! Please call the leader so soon! The people were excited. This Bao Zheng was so daring and showed his trump card as soon as he came on stage. Is he really not afraid of the power behind Zhao Zonge? They don't care so much. Anyone who dares to resist these powerful people is a good official in their eyes!
When Mahan of the Dynasty heard Bao Zheng's order, he was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly moved out the dragon-headed guillotine plated with gold! This dragon's head guillotine is specially used to kill members of the royal family. Even ordinary officials are not qualified to use it. If it were Cheng Lin who used it, this dragon's head guillotine would probably never get a trace of blood in her life! He will not offend the Zhao family. They are the masters who work for the Zhao family. Who dares to go against his master?
Zhao Zonge finally felt a trace of fear in his heart when he saw the sharp-edged dragon head guillotine! This kid is crazy, maybe he really wants to chop himself!
"Bao Zheng, you are so brave. Our dynasty has been kind to the descendants of Shizong since Taizu, and we have been very protective of our Zhao clan. How dare you lynching us today? What on earth am I guilty of?" have!"
Bao Zheng pointed at Nian Cheng and said, "Do you recognize who this is?"
Zhao Zong'e glanced at him and said: "This
When people let dogs do evil, I naturally recognize it! "
Bao Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a cold light in his eyes: "As long as you recognize him, I'm afraid you will deny it. Why did this man commit such a crime that you let your slaves beat him up like this?"
"I told you, he indulges dogs..."
Bao Zheng interrupted him directly and said: "The White Goose case has been decided by me. The dog is not guilty and the owner is not guilty! But if you hit someone, you are guilty!"
Bao Zheng looked at the people in the hall and said: "According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zonge should have been sentenced to three hundred miles of assassination. Considering that he is the royal family of the Zhao Song Dynasty and has damaged the royal dignity, I will sentence him to ten strokes of the cane! Come on, let's punish him!" "
Zhao Zonge still wanted to quibble, but Zhang Long and Zhao Hu pressed him over and pulled off his brocade robe, revealing his white body. The other two government officials brought him a bench and put him on it. Dynasty Mahan began to execute him!
The stick really fell on him with a snap, and the snow-white skin burst open instantly, and the dark purple blood flowed out. They were golden branches and jade leaves. They had never been beaten so severely. Under the ten sticks, even if they didn't take his life, they would let him. The rest of my life will be uncomfortable!
"Two, three, four..." The common people were excited to see this, and it was such a joy to say this! I didn't expect the retribution of this bully in the capital to come so quickly and so relieved! They also took the initiative to help the government officials count, for fear that missing a stick would give them an advantage!
Zhao Zonge could still keep his mouth shut and insult Bao Zheng a few times, but he couldn't bear it any longer. Bao Zheng asked someone to bring a bucket of salt water, and he poured it into the wound and woke up Zhao Zonge. The salt water seeped into the wound, making Zhao Zonge almost want to fly. The pain He reached the top and passed out again.
The time was almost up, Bao Zheng said to the crowd: "Bring up the evidence of crime!"
I saw Yelu Chongguang and others popping up from nowhere in the crowd. He and Yeluhan were carrying a large box. Behind them were other people from the intelligence team, who also had a box for two people, a total of more than a dozen people. I didn't know what was inside. I carried it to the hall, put down the box and the group of people retreated again!
"Open the box!"
Zhang Long opened the box and saw that it was full of books, such as files, and the box was filled to the brim.
"Send the dossier!"
Bao Zheng opened the files and read the contents of the files aloud: "In March of the first year of Jiayou, Zhao Zonge forced to rape Wang Yuanyi's daughter in Zhongmu County. Wang Yuanyi sued Zhongmu County, but the case was dropped."
"In April of the first year of Jiayou's reign, Zhao Zonge forcibly occupied Li Qiu's pawn shop on Maxing Street in Bianjing. Li Qiu committed suicide at home after complaining that he had no way out."
"In April of the first year of Jiayou, Zhao Zonge indulged his slaves and drowned the boatman Gong Er in the Jinshui River. Gong Er had no family, and the case was closed without trial."
The files contained in this box turned out to be all the numerous crimes that Zhao Zonge had committed in recent years. The reason why Bao Zheng had repeatedly delayed the trial these days was to buy time for the members of the intelligence team to travel from Bianjing to nearby areas. In the county town, all the files that can be collected about Zhao Zonge and all the information that can be found in the streets and streets of the people, all that are good will be brought to the court for him!
Bao Zheng read them out one by one, which made people's hearts and minds boil with rage. The crimes committed by this boy were simply too numerous to describe. Every one of them was a bloody crime. If it were an ordinary citizen, he would at least be punished. He was beheaded, but because he was a member of the clan, he had been able to get away with the numerous cases from the Jiayou period to the present, and no one dared to touch him. It was said that the emperor committed the same crime as the common people, and the common people were filled with indignation. They were furious. These so-called criminal laws were just tools to imprison them. They were no better than a toilet chip against these nobles!
This is when the picture becomes clear!
Boom, boom, boom, the Dengwen drum played by the government suddenly sounded again. One case was not solved, but another one was started!
"Go out and have a look!"
The yamen servant brought in an old man. The old man was supporting a crazy girl. His mouth was drooling. He looked at the crowd and sometimes laughed and sometimes went crazy. When he came to the hall, when he saw Zhao Zonge, his body started to tremble, and his lower body was too big. He was incontinent and bleeding all over the floor. The madness suddenly broke out again, and he screamed wildly!
When the old man saw Bao Zheng, he knelt down and shouted loudly: "Master Qingtian makes the decision for the people. My innocent little girl was harmed like this by Zhao Zonge's thieves. Damn it...!"
If one person was with him, there would be another one. The drums outside the court could not stop. Either their family members or close relatives were harmed by Zhao Zonge. In the past, they were frightened by the government and Zhao Zonge's power. No one dared to speak out. Some of them did. The sound has gone unfulfilled, and unjust cases have piled up like a mountain!
Now that Bao Zheng has appeared and let them see Zhao Xue's hope, how can they hold back any longer! Another person knelt down and cried out his grievances loudly, then the third, and the fourth. Countless people who had suffered bloody grievances finally waited for this moment to wash away their grievances!
Zhao Zong'e listened to Bao Zheng read out all his evil deeds, and naturally he couldn't explain it, because these were all his actions, and there was no falsehood!
He grinned his big mouth full of blood and suddenly burst into laughter: "It doesn't matter if I did it! Not to mention you, Bao Zheng, Cheng Lin, the real governor, so many high-ranking officials and censors in Jian Yuan are taking advantage of our county." The palace is helpless, do you know who is behind us! Kill me and you will go to jail tomorrow! Hahaha!"
How arrogant!
The people are angry, they are on the verge of death, maybe there is still a chance for this case to turn around!
Bao Zheng was extremely calm at the moment, just looking at everything in front of him. Is this the so-called enlightened and prosperous age? Powerful people are running rampant in the world, and the helpless people are killing each other. It is clear that there are so many injustice cases under the majestic city. Bao Zheng felt infinite regret in his heart. He glanced at Zhao Zonge. At this time, he hated Zhao Zonge even more. It can’t be added! Zhao Zonge, you must die today!
But this is exactly what Zhao Zong'e said. Cheng Lin didn't dare to interrogate him, and the admonishers turned a blind eye. Just because he couldn't die, leaving it to Dali Temple would at best turn him into a commoner, but his father was still an imperial clan member. Dear, his backer is still standing.
I need the last reason to drop the knife!
Liang Chuan quietly appeared in the crowd at this moment. All this was the result of a joint plan between him and Bao Zheng. Although it might put Bao Zheng in danger, it was a righteous move for the people. Bao Zheng hit it off immediately and would rather Even if he sacrifices himself, he will bring Zhao Zonge down!
Naturally, Liang Chuan would not let anything happen to Bao Zheng, so he not only built momentum but also helped Bao Zheng collect evidence of Zhao Zonge's crime. Today is the last straw for this matter. As long as he shows his last trump card, Zhao Zonge will definitely die!
Yelv Chongguang moved out another iron box! There was a big lock on it.
Bao Zheng ordered Yelu Zhongguang to open the lock!
The yamen officer took out the letter inside and handed it to Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng asked, "What is this?"
Yelu Zhongguang said: "This is a secret message that was collected outside Guyuan City and carried by Dangxiang people!"
The three thousand corpses of Tie Yao that Liang Chuan killed were a great victory in the world. The court wanted to cover up the matter with a smile, but Liang Chuan didn't want it to be so easy! He is going to use this matter to make a fuss!
Bao Zheng spread out the letter, and after reading the first sentence, his expression completely changed!
"Young Master Zhao, my Lord Yuan Hao hereby expresses my sincere greetings! The talents of the young master should be in the East Palace, and a foolish king does not recognize the virtuous! This is a pity for the world! The current war on the Western Front has become a foregone conclusion. On this occasion, Our country has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and the war will never restart again. My Lord is willing to send three thousand dead soldiers to march directly to Bianjing. I also ask the young prince to cooperate with the outside world, open the gates of Bianjing, and march directly to the imperial city to kill Zhao. At that time, My lord and my young master are the co-lords of the world...!"
Zhao why Bao Zheng didn't dare to pronounce it out, that's the word Zhen! Needless to say, this letter is Liang Chuan’s forged evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason!
The people couldn't believe their ears, this was a rebellion!
He, Bao Zheng, didn't know the authenticity of this matter, but Liang Chuan just asked him to do as he was told, to reveal his belief and then guillotine Zhao Zonge! Because except for the high-ranking officials in the temple, no one in the world knew about this matter. Zhao Zhen, Queen Mother, Liu Empress Dowager, and officials from the two governments all knew about it. The more this happened, the less they dared to make the matter a big deal. Zhao Zonge died. You can only die in vain!
If there is no need to die for bullying the people, then the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy will be punished even if it is placed on the head of the prince!
Liang Chuan laughed!
When this big killer weapon came out, Zhao Zonge was naturally dead. Longtou Zhan couldn't run away now. He used up all his strength to fight back with disheveled hair, yelling and screaming: "It's fake! I don't have it! Bao Zheng Son, how dare you frame me! This letter is clearly a forgery!"
Bao Zheng didn't care whether the letter was true or not. Liang Chuan asked him to chop Zhao Zong'e, but he wanted to do it today even if he didn't read the letter!
"Here comes someone! Please use the dragon's guillotine!"
There was a click, Zhao Zonge had been hit with ten sticks and had no strength to resist anymore. When the guillotine came down, his head rolled several feet away! The common people burst into tears. Everyone knelt down in front of Bao Zheng and shouted in unison: "Bao Qingtian!"
Liang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, the case was finally closed! The grudge with Zhao Zonge is finally settled!
