After hearing this, Tang Guodong was furious. As if he had been humiliated, he slapped the gavel on his hand and cursed angrily:
"Shut up! Don't use the holy decrees to control me! What's the use of such a law as you are so eloquent?
What's more, there are bound to be some oversights in the holy edicts, but there must not be the slightest suspicion of tarnishing the holy virtues!
If Tang Jianqiu had not set an example and acted as a responsible person, how many people would have starved to death by opening warehouses and providing relief? If the people are complaining, wouldn't it mean that the Holy Spirit is being unkind?
He is so powerful and able to make changes, and he can reveal the disaster that is about to happen. His holy virtue is so majestic. Not only is he not guilty, but he should be meritorious! You can't understand such a simple truth!
Someone is coming! This person was punished with a harsher punishment for his humiliation! Put him in jail for now! After hearing the verdict! "
"yes!"
Realizing that the plan had failed, Xiaoqi collapsed to the extreme.
He was completely desperate and instantly fell to the ground. His eyes gradually became dull, and he was allowed to be taken away by two officers and soldiers, one on the left and the other on the right.
It was over now. He had not successfully completed the task assigned by Zhao Jingzhong. If Zhao Jingzhong blamed him, he would not be able to afford it!
Even if you can barely survive, you will inevitably be targeted by him!
I offended three big shots at once;
Later, the case was quickly concluded. According to the imperial court's instructions, the local government had to publicize the matter widely, which served as a warning and allowed the people of the world to understand the case.
When the notice was announced, those who had spoken ill of Tang Jianqiu behind his back immediately shut up. Their mouths seemed to be glued together, and they did not dare to say anything.
It must be known that the person they offended was the Jin Yiwei, not to mention the Zhenfu envoy in charge of the Zhenfu Division. This would be very uncomfortable. They could only hope that Tang Jianqiu would forget about it as soon as possible;
It is said that that night, four people had nothing to do and drank in a secret room at night.
They were having a great time drinking, and they were happy at the moment. It is said that they used wine to relieve their sorrows. Now, after drinking like this, they have left all their troubles behind. Of course, they did not forget to say a few words while drinking.
However, one of them was drunk and accidentally said what was in his heart, and even cursed Wei Zhongxian:
"Who do you think Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch in charge of the East Factory, is? He's just a dog beside the emperor. I haven't seen him in these days and brought up some current affairs.
snort! On weekdays, he relied on the emperor's favor and failed to do so, and actually did some shameful things! How is this behavior different from that of an animal? In my opinion, Wei Zhongxian's good days must come to an end! "
This person complained a lot, but couldn't get the answer he wanted, so he was a little dissatisfied.
"Hey! What's wrong with you guys? Why don't you speak? Are you so mute? What a coward! What kind of thing is Wei Zhongxian!"
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out, which frightened the people who were drinking with him.
The three of them did not dare to speak out for fear of being punished by Wei Zhongxian;
Maybe he was drunk because of drinking too much. The man thought that this was not enough, so he added a few more words because the scolding was not enough:
"Wei Zhongxian's existence is just a scourge. He is at best a good dog. I never see him doing any good things. Instead, he messes with weird things. It's really torture.
This man is extremely cunning, cunning and vicious. I really don’t know why the imperial court is keeping him here. If I were to serve as an official in the imperial court, I would definitely read his book! "
However, before the man finished cursing, all these words were heard by the patrolling Dongchang Fanzi.
How could he endure the other party's insult to Nine Thousand Years Old? He became angry instantly and decided to take this man back and punish him severely!
(Fanzi is a sergeant who arrests criminals. In the Ming Dynasty, all the servants in Dongchang were given to the Jinyiwei. The sergeant is called the stall head and is responsible for the inspection. There is a fanzi as a cadre.)
The sergeant just chuckled, as if he didn't hear it. Then he came behind the man, leaned down and said in a slightly teasing tone:
"Oh? The brothers are very interested. May I ask what they are talking about? Can I, a military commander, listen to it?"
The man may have drunk too much and was a little drunk. He was very happy to see someone with whom he had a common topic, as excited as if he had met a close friend.
Just when he was about to say something more, the blood of the three people around him froze. Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind him, Fanzi killed him with a look.
They never thought that this guy would be so bold! It’s just a bad thing to say about people, but someone discovered it and you still don’t repent, now it’s going to be a big deal!
"Guan...Guan Ye!"
They almost always squeezed out two words from between their teeth. Out of courtesy, they had to salute to the fanzi and the captain.
The captain just nodded, and then ordered his brothers:
"Come here! Bring these people to Jiu Qian Sui! Let's see how Jiu Qian Sui deals with them!"
Such words unintentionally sentenced them to death. Several people collapsed completely and they quickly cried for mercy.
However, even this could not change the fact that he was forcibly taken away, and the fans took him away without changing their expressions.
Just now, several people who were drinking together had already thought up their last words.
For a moment, they all regretted it. If they had known this, they shouldn't have drank with this person. Maybe such a tragedy would not have happened!
After that, Fanzi escorted the four people to Wei Zhongxian's residence. At this moment, Wei Zhongxian was about to fall asleep, but when he heard someone reporting, he put aside what he was doing.
He wanted to hear what was more important than a good night's rest;
Fanzi was always rude to others. He brought the four people over angrily, kicked them angrily and asked them to kneel down.
They didn't dare to disobey, so they had to bow their heads and kneel down, but they didn't dare to look directly into each other's eyes.
"Nine thousand years old, we really can't bear to listen to this guy insulting you. You don't know that this scolding is so unpleasant. He actually said that you are worse than a beast and that you are just a dog. How should you deal with it?"
Wei Zhongxian smiled instead of being angry when he heard this, and his voice was even gentler, "Oh? There is such a thing, but our family is not a cruel person. Don't worry, our family will not be too harsh on others."
The man who had been insulted before was relieved a little, but what Wei Zhongxian said next made him fall into hell:
"If that's the case, let's beat him up!"
The man was shocked after hearing this. He sobered up instantly. When he realized the seriousness of the matter, his face was filled with fear and helplessness. His desire to survive forced him to kowtow and beg for mercy:
"What! No! Nine thousand years old, I know I was wrong! Please let me go, I never dare to do it again!"
However, no matter how much he lamented and regretted, it could not change the fact that he was scratched by the Lingchi knife;
Fanzi has never been soft on people, and now Wei Zhongxian has given orders and they have to obey.
However, Wei Zhongxian seemed not to hear it, turned his head, stopped looking at him, and took it all as a joke;
After the man was forcibly taken away, the remaining three were still in shock. Although they did not speak ill of Wei Zhongxian, they could not escape the suspicion of being an accomplice.
Just when they thought they were dead, Wei Zhongxian unexpectedly took out a piece of gold. This extraordinary move made them panic even more, fearing that it was money for their lives.
Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly, then put the gold into their hands, half-smiling, "Don't worry, our family is not indifferent to right from wrong. These are rewards for you, take them."
The three of them were already too scared to move. How could they dare to reach out and pick it up? He stood motionless on the spot as if he was dead.
It was only after several minor fans around them reminded them again and again that they finally came to their senses and thanked Wei Zhongxian for his kindness.
"Thank you... thank you Jiu Qiansui."
After receiving the silver reward, they did not dare to stay here anymore, for fear that Wei Zhongxian would change his mind if it lasted more than one breath, so they almost all ran away rolling and crawling.
However, the night is already dark, and people are already asleep in their dreams. The full moon hangs high in the sky, like a silver plate pouring down on the earth. The beauty of this prosperous age can't help but remind people of it;
Others may have been asleep long ago, but Tang Jianqiu was tossing and turning, as if something was weighing on his heart, making him breathless;
Sometimes, I suddenly wake up from my dream in the middle of the night, and when I want to fall asleep, I can't fall asleep. I may also think of one of the most precious memories;
A memory from the past flashed through Tang Jianqiu's mind.
"Hey~ Brother Tang, here, here!"
Little Shen Hongluan waved her childish little hands. She had braids and looked pretty, smart and well-behaved, with a slight frown.
With eyes like apricots, red cheeks and small eyebrows, she looks like a porcelain doll, giving her a unique kind of beauty.
She is so pretty at a young age, but she doesn't know how charming she will be when she grows up.
She pouted her pink little mouth, and her watery eyes blinked from time to time, staring intently as if she had seen a treasure.
She saw Xiao Tang Jianqiu who was concentrating on learning martial arts through the dog hole.
Xiao Tang Jianqiu heard a beautiful voice like a warbler's cry. She looked for the sound and found that Xiao Shen Hongluan was lying on the ground, as if looking at the ants on the ground.
Xiao Tang Jianqiu hurriedly walked over, but Xiao Shen Hongluan propped up his chin, pouted his mouth, and his cheeks bulged slightly, as if he had been wronged.
Xiao Tang Jianqiu squatted down with a slight worry. He was sweating and said uneasily: "Hong Luan, why are you here? It would be bad if Master finds out."
"Brother Tang, you are so powerful~ Hong Luan also wants to learn martial arts."
Little Shen Hongluan instantly turned into a little fan girl, and went into the dog hole. She didn't bother to brush off the dust on her clothes, hugged little Tang Jianqiu, and kissed her face.
"It won't look good if you are so pretty and learn these things. I am a man and I will protect you in the future."
Xiao Tang Jianqiu had a serious face. At that time, he didn't understand what love was, but he had an urge to protect Shen Hongluan at all costs.
Little Shen Hongluan innocently widened her Qiu Shui eyes, gently tugged on the corner of Tang Jianqiu's clothes, and showed an irresistible expression.
"What does it matter? The worst thing you can do is marry me from now on~ Let's get married in the future, okay?"
"Getting married? What is that?"
At that time, little Tang Jianqiu didn't know the concept of marriage at all, but was just a little novel about these two words.
Seeing that this move was useless, Xiao Shen Hongluan acted coquettishly: "It's not important, just promise me~"
How could Tang Jianqiu be able to withstand it? As long as she uses this trick, he will not refuse, and Xiao Shen Hongluan seems to be sure of him.
"Okay, I promise you, go back quickly and let Master see that it's time to beat me again." Xiao Tang Jianqiu was a little worried, and he didn't forget to look around while speaking.
Little Shen Hongluan didn't take it seriously. She put her waist on both sides and said like a little adult: "That's why I asked you to teach me secretly, and aren't we good friends?"
Xiao Tang Jianqiu was obviously a little embarrassed, but he still had to bite the bullet and agreed: "Okay...well, don't let anyone find out."
"Deal~"
Unknowingly, Tang Jianqiu fell asleep, perhaps thinking of this beautiful memory.
It has been a long time since he felt so at ease, and he has not had a good night's sleep since he became busy with official duties. Perhaps it was such a lively and active little girl who saved his lonely life;
Hong Luan, I will never let you be wronged again in this life.
