different devil life

However, in the eyes of Lu Zhongbo and other party members, Wang Zhong's appearance, hey, it really did.

The emperor really went to the entrance of the Jinluan Hall, presumably because he was worried that they would really quit, so he went to see those adults.

For a moment, a group of ministers felt refreshed, so what if they were the emperor, they were defeated by Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang really had a clever plan, and the little emperor was no match at all.

When the people on Lu Dang's side looked complacent, Li Mingcai's gangsters looked helpless. The emperor was indeed too tender, and he couldn't bear the pressure from Lu Dang's side in a few words, and was ready to compromise.

But looking back, if they were sitting in the emperor's position, I'm afraid it would be the same.

After all, there are too many people on the side of the Lu party, and these people are attacking at the same time. Could it be that the emperor really cut them all off?

If this is the case, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos before the next day.

Wang Zhong could see the eyes of each of these people, and he was quite disappointed with the people on Li Mingcai's side.

Although Li Mingcai was a little more loyal than Lu Zhongbo, his ability was too weak to be of much use.

After Wang Zhong prepared to deal with Lu Zhongbo, this Li Mingcai could almost retire and return home.

So as not to occupy the latrine and not shit.

When they came to the entrance of the Jinluan Hall, more than a dozen ministers knelt on the ground listlessly.

If such a situation happened in history, the blow to the emperor's reputation would be great, but Wang Zhong didn't care, he was already scolded as a fool, and he didn't mind letting them scold him for a while longer.

Seeing Wang Zhong approaching, more than a dozen ministers were refreshed, but there was a lot of resentment in their eyes.

"Lord Zuo, it's really hard for you to kneel for so many days."

Wang Zhong spoke, but didn't call Ai Qing.

why is that?Let the ministers think for themselves.

The Zuo lord is not very old, only in his 40s, and he kowtowed and responded: "My minister is dedicated to the emperor and the country, and I have been kneeling for a few days. "

"Oh, it seems that you are really loyal."

Wang Zhong smiled, stretched out his hand, and He Taigao beside him sensiblely handed over Xie Jin's criminal evidence.

Wang Zhong read the evidence and said, "Lord Zuo, you said that you are dedicated to me and my country, but why did I hear some bad things about you?"

Mr. Zuo didn't know that Wang Zhong secretly investigated the evidence of his crimes. He said with a dignified look: "Your Majesty, I have served the country for many years and have never made a mistake. Please learn from me."

Wang Zhong's tone suddenly became cold: "Really, then I will tell you a disgraceful thing. A year and a half ago, as a parent official, when you returned to your hometown to worship your ancestors, you fell in love with a woman surnamed Li from the village. , you want to pull her to be a concubine, but they don't agree, you are so cruel and merciless that you broke the legs of a woman surnamed Li, that's not enough, you sold her into a brothel, right?"

"Your Majesty, this, this, this..."

Master Zuo's complexion changed drastically, this matter is a matter of his hometown, and the emperor is far away from here, how did the emperor know.

At this time, he naturally did not dare to admit it, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, someone maliciously slandered this humble minister."

Wang Zhong said coldly: "Really, then do you think I want to investigate strictly?"

"Uh..." Master Zuo was instantly dumb.

This incident caused a lot of trouble in my hometown, because the woman surnamed Li was too wild, and in the end he broke her legs in a fit of anger.

Just like that, the woman still insulted her, so at the instigation of a group of dog legs, he sold the woman into a brothel.

Counting now, it has indeed been more than a year.

But many people in my hometown knew about this matter, and the county magistrate was photographed at his official university, so he didn't dare to ask about it, so he let it go.

Now the emperor wants to investigate this matter. If the investigation continues, he will be in trouble.

"Master Zuo, you must also want to figure it out, I am satisfied with you, come and bring the girl surnamed Li here."

Wang Zhong shouted loudly, at this moment Lord Zuo couldn't kneel anymore, and his whole body was limp on the ground.

At the side, two eunuchs helped a limping girl with a pretty face come up.

"Minister Li Xiaohua, I have met the emperor..."

Li Xiaohua is just an ordinary girl, so of course she doesn't know how to behave, besides, she has trouble with her legs and feet, Wang Zhong didn't blame her, so he said: "Give Li Xiaohua a seat."

After Li Xiaohua sat down, she stared fixedly at Lord Zuo, and suddenly cried: "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo broke the legs of the girl..."

As she spoke, Li Xiaohua lifted the trousers at the calves of her two legs, and those two calves were obviously deformed.

"Not only that, but he also sold civilian girls into brothels. He pitied my old father for being beaten to death in order to save me. He begged the emperor to make decisions for the civilian girls..."

Chapter 628

Hearing Li Xiaohua's heart-piercing words, all the ministers had their own thoughts.

With a bit of conscience, he scolded Mr. Zuo. He usually sees other people as five or six.

Those who have no conscience feel that Mr. Zuo's work is really unclean. If it were him, the girl surnamed Li would have been killed by them long ago.

"Everyone has seen that the witnesses and the material evidence are solid now. The late emperor made a decree that anyone who oppresses the common people to become an official will be imprisoned at the least, and executed at the most serious level by ransacking their homes. Master Zuo, am I right?"

Mr. Zuo was so frightened that he lost his soul: "The emperor calms down, this matter... this humble minister has been wronged..."

"Hmph, I'm still obsessed with my obsession. Here comes Master Zuo, who oppressed the people and harmed innocent people. He committed a heinous crime. He took his official hat and clothes and sent him to Dongchang Prison!"

Dongchang Prison is not an ordinary prison. Strictly speaking, that place is dedicated to those convicted of treason.

The punishment inside is not only more cruel and painful than ordinary prisons, but you can't find a relationship to go inside to see people.

After all, Dongchang is directly responsible to the emperor, and no one will give you face.

Master Zuo's expression changed wildly in an instant: "The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life..."

Wang Zhong shook his hand, and two big inner guards stepped forward and dragged down the crying Lord Zuo.

The faces of the grown-ups next to him twitched.

If Wang Zhongping had arrested people for no reason, these people might have jumped up and pointed at Wang Zhong and scolded them, but they definitely can't do it right now.

"Master Huang."

When Wang Zhong called out what Master Huang said, Master Huang who was still kneeling on the ground was obviously stunned: "My minister... I am here..."

"Didn't you scold me before that the people's hearts will be unstable if you go on like this? But I heard that what you have done has made the people's hearts even more unstable."

"Your Majesty, I know my mistake..."

Master Huang obviously knew that Wang Zhong must have been secretly investigating some of their criminal evidence these days in order to punish them.

This is treating them as early birds, and he regretted it for a while, so he simply admitted his mistake and hoped that Wang Zhongwang would forgive him.

It's a pity that Wang Zhong will let them go at this time?

Wang Zhong didn't even pay attention to him, and said directly: "Bring him out."

"Soon, dozens of civilians were brought out."

Wang Zhong pointed to them and said: "Master Huang, I heard that you have ten thousand acres of fertile land in your hometown, three mansions, and dozens of wives and concubines. I am very curious. Before you became an official, you were just a poor scholar. In just a few decades, I have earned so much money and so much fertile land, Master Huang, why don't you teach me!"

Master Huang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Your Majesty, this humble minister... I am guilty of a crime, please forgive me."

At this moment, his humble appearance is not as strong as before, he is no different from a villain.

This is the character of a scholar.

"These people originally had a happy family and a happy life. The family lived in peace and security, and lived by farming, but because of you, they took their good land and caused them to lose their source of income. Do you think you are a sinner?" Deserving of death?"

"My minister is willing to return the fertile land and the silver taels, and begs the emperor for mercy."

"It's late, come here. Master Huang oppressed the people, occupied the fertile land, made the people resentful, and the people were in dire straits. He committed a heinous crime. He stripped off his official clothes and hats, and sent him to the Dongchang Prison!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Wang Zhong shouted again: "Bring someone up."

The person who came up was a middle-aged woman. Seeing this person, Master Duan, who was kneeling, collapsed to the ground in fright.

because he knew.

That day when he was drunk, he met a residential house and saw that this woman was very beautiful, so he went to flirt with her in a daze.

After he succeeded, her husband came to make trouble. In the end, he used all means to put the woman's husband in prison. After getting tired of playing for a while, this woman was driven out. She didn't expect to appear here...

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, this humble servant is guilty!"

The woman also knelt down: "I beg the emperor to be the master for the daughters of the people, and I beg the emperor to save my husband."

Wang Zhongdao: "Don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you, Mr. Duan, since you have pleaded guilty, I won't say much more, come here, take me down and send you to Dongchang Prison!"

"Lu Xiang help, Lu Xiang help..."

Mr. Duan had the closest relationship with Lu Xiang, so he hurriedly called for help in a hurry.

Wang Zhong turned his head to look at Lu Zhongbo, and sneered in his heart, I will pull out your minions one by one, let's see what you do.

Wang Zhong now expected that Lu Zhongbo would not dare to tear his face, after all, he would lose too much now.

No matter how much money there is, it's useless if you don't have soldiers in your hands. That is to say, the emperor was a softie in the past, and he didn't dare to use military force to suppress it.

Lu Zhongbo knew that it would be impossible for him not to stand up at this time, otherwise the other ministers would be frightened by Wang Zhong's tricks.

"Your Majesty, although these adults have committed serious crimes, the circumstances of the case are full of doubts. I think that there is no need to go to Dongchang Prison."

As long as they don't break into the Dongchang prison, he has a way to get them out.

No matter how bad it is, it's okay to give them a sum of money to run away.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhongbo continued: "In addition, these lords have worked hard without credit. The relatives of the lords who have been imprisoned in Dongchang will not be able to visit them. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Wang Zhong stared at Lu Zhongbo and said, "There are all the personal and material evidence, so what doubts are there? But you reminded me, Mr. Lu, that it is very bad for the family members of the adults not to see them."

"Fortunately, it suddenly occurred to me that their crimes are so serious that it's not enough just to go to jail, come here!"

"The old slave is here." He Taigao walked over.

"I ordered Dongchang to ransack the house, and all the family members were taken to prison to see the aftermath."

"Plop..."

The remaining group of ministers all collapsed to the ground.

Lu Zhongbo's complexion changed, the emperor did it on purpose, it was fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, he was going to ransack the house.

Wang Zhong sneered in his heart. He knew that Lu Zhongbo would intercede, so he deliberately kept the house from being stolen. In fact, no matter whether Lu Zhongbo would say it or not, he would have ransacked the house.

After all, the families of these ministers are very rich, why don't they copy them and keep them for the New Year?

"Okay, who else is dissatisfied?" Wang Zhong glanced at all the ministers and said with a smile: "Who is dissatisfied can say it, I am not unreasonable, if you really have opinions, I will definitely understand, of course Yes, the premise is that what you say is the same as what you do.”

The faces of a group of ministers are not good-looking.

Among the ministers present, to be honest, whoever has a clean ass, even the so-called loyal minister Li Mingcai dare not say that he is clean.

Therefore, for fear of being implicated, no one dared to speak for a while.

But if they didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Wang Zhong stopped talking.

Looking at the kneeling ministers, Wang Zhong continued to roll their names one by one, and all those whose names were called turned pale.

These people, without exception, were all thrown into prison.

If the crime is serious, all the homes will be confiscated.

In fact, Wang Zhong still has something to say, that is, after the trial, he will not only search the house, but he will open many garment factories and mine in the future, which will require a lot of manpower. The males in these people's families are a good source of labor.

Send the girl to a brothel to make money for him.

He had already figured out the imperial decree that men would be demoted to slavery, and all women's family members would be prostitutes, and they could be released after a certain number of years of service.

This is his punishment.

What?Don't want to do it?Then die!

Soon, the dozens of ministers who were kneeling were all taken away, and some of the remaining people wiped their sweat secretly, thinking that it was fortunate that they were not like these people. Otherwise, the one who ransacked the house was himself.

While secretly rejoicing, these people are actually very worried.

The emperor's methods are vicious, and it is completely different from before. They all have dirty buttocks. If this continues, who can guarantee that they can sit back and relax?

"All my loves, who has anything to say?" Wang Zhong said lightly.

No one really spoke, even Lu Zhongbo did not speak, because he knew that what he said was useless now, and the emperor had already regarded him as a thorn in his side.

Murderous intent emerged in Lu Zhongbo's eyes.
