Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 250 Asking for the beheading on the street!

Death has never been the scariest thing, even being sentenced to capital punishment is not so scary; what is really scary is always the process of waiting for death, and before the trial——

Emperor Yunjing elongated his tone on purpose, and looked down at Chao Ling who was kneeling in a puddle below the stage with a half-smile.

He watched his limbs change from trembling slightly to trembling one after another, and watched his expression turn from panic to madness. He knew that his spirit had been stretched to the extreme, and he wanted to let him do more. Endure some of this torture.

As if to repay part of the crimes he committed over the years.

The emperor on the high platform slowly narrowed his eyes until the expression on Chao Ling's face was on the verge of collapse, and then he opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Chao Ling, in the name of the spring test, has deliberately collected money and cheated for many years. The crime is one; the crime of attempting to frame the prince and ruin the reputation of the Tian Family is two."

"For the sake of making money, harming other people's lives is three crimes; for the integrity of the Ministry of Rites, not to set an example of incorruptibility, but to attract corruption, the crime is four."

When Mo Jingyao mentioned the four crimes one by one, Chao Ling couldn't help but turn pale. The matter had come to this point, he knew that he was doomed, but he didn't know how the emperor would deal with his family.

Is it implicated in the nine clans, or demoted to slavery and the whole family exiled?
He couldn't figure it out clearly, and he didn't dare to guess, he only hoped that Emperor Yun Jing would spare their lives for the sake of the young children in his mansion.

He has done so many wrong things, so he deserves to die, but his mother who is nearly [-] years old and the child who is about to be the president are really innocent.

He never dared to tell them what he had done, and even his wife didn't know what he had done since he became an official in the court.

Chao Ling's heart was beating like a drum, he slowly tightened his masseter muscles, his back molars were almost gnawed by him, he clenched his palms nervously, anxiously waiting for the emperor's final sentence.

"Such four crimes go hand in hand. It is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven. He will be dismissed from office, his family property will be confiscated, and he will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He will be executed in the street at three quarters in the afternoon after three days!"

"In addition, I think that Chao Ling has been an official in the court for many years. Although he has no achievements, he has worked hard. The women and children in the family are innocent, so I can't bear harsh criticism."

"Except for Chao's adult males who were sent to the army, the rest of the family, women and children, should be sent back to their hometowns."

After hearing the result of the final trial, Chao Ling couldn't help being taken aback. This was quite different from what he had imagined. There was no implicating the nine clans, nor was he exiled to the frontier or demoted to slavery.

It's just that the men were exiled into the army, and the women and children were sent back to their hometowns.

It turned out to be just like that.

Chao Ling was quite unbelievable, he never expected the emperor to be so merciful, except for him being severely punished, the rest were almost innocuous.

The wealth in his family was originally obtained from bribery, so it is only natural that it should be filled into the national treasury now.

He wasn't worried that his wife, children, and mother would end up living on the streets after Shangshu's mansion disappeared. His wife's natal family was also a well-known and wealthy household in ten miles and eight townships.

At that time, she will bring her mother and children to their place, at least she will be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life.

And... moreover, the Holy Majesty did not prohibit Chao's people from re-entering official careers. As long as his children are strong enough, as long as they don't follow his old path, they may not be able to fight for their own place in Beijing in the future.

That's enough, enough.

Chao Ling's eyelids couldn't help trembling, he closed his eyes, barely controlled his trembling limbs, and his posture was pious and solemn when he saluted: "Sinner, thank you Lord Long En."

Emperor Yun Jing didn't speak, just watched him silently being dragged away by the guards in the palace and sent to the dungeon.

When his figure completely disappeared at the end of the palace, Mo Jingyao turned to look at the empty hall, and Zhu Fengshang knelt on the ground: "Zhu Feng, you used the name of the Marquis Mansion to collude with the Ministry of Rites and ask for money. For example, it should be sentenced to death."

"However, I think you are old, and it's just the beginning of summer, so it's not suitable to kill again, so I give you a glass of poisoned wine, and you can finish it yourself."

In this way, at least a whole body can be left.

Mo Jingyao raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows. If it wasn't for the fear that it would be easy to cause trouble after autumn, he really didn't want to kill so many people in this summer.

In addition, there are already enough people executed today, and he is a little afraid of hurting the law of heaven and earth if there is another one.

What's more, although the old steward's crime is unforgivable, in the final analysis, he has followed the wrong master since he was a child. He hates him for helping the evildoers, but he also respects him for his loyalty, and let him leave this last bit of decency.

"Old slave, thank the sage for his grace." Zhu Feng responded, kowtowed tremblingly, then got up, and followed the little eunuch who was serving the poisoned wine to the side hall.

Seeing this, Marquis Anping couldn't help frowning and closing his eyes to hide the unbearable expression in his eyes.

——No matter how you abandon the car to protect the handsome man, Zhu Feng is also an old man who has served by his side for more than [-] years. He is his right-hand man. They grew up together.

It must be false to say that it doesn't hurt.

Zhu Sheng sighed silently, Liao Zhen couldn't help but stamped his elbow quietly when he saw this, on the high platform, Emperor Yun Jing hadn't finished speaking, after dealing with those present today, there was still the entire Ministry of Rites and Anping Hou's Mansion left .

"Wang Shilang." The emperor called softly, and Wang Liang immediately came out and cupped his hands: "My minister is here."

"I'll leave it to you to inspect Chao's mansion. There are many kinds of property involved. I hope you will be more careful and careful, and don't miss anything."

Emperor Yun Jing shook his brows indistinctly. In fact, it was more polite to leave this matter to Song Xingzhe, Minister of the Household Department, but that old man was in the same group as Liao Zhen and the others, and they had always been greedy.

He was afraid that if he was let go, he would make another surreptitious sum and underwrite a few in the account.

That can't be done, he wants to collect all the more than 100 million taels of silver in the Chaoling Mansion into the state treasury!
"My minister complies with the decree." Wang Liang responded happily, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will list the numbers in detail, and nothing will be missed."

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll take care of Wang Aiqing." Emperor Yunjing nodded slightly, then raised his eyes to look outside the hall, and looked away, "The rest of the Ministry of Rites, who are suspected of not reporting their knowledge and not doing their job effectively, should be exiled." Down three grades, three months' salary."

"Bao Hui and Lu Renjia have bad intentions and misbehavior. They dared to bribe officials of the imperial court. They will be put in prison and be executed after autumn."

"Besides, Marquis Anping, you are not strict in governing the government. There is an evil slave like Zhu Feng in the mansion. As the master, you should be treated as the same crime."

"And I thought you were also in the dark about it, so you punished the small and the big, and punished the salary for nine months-do you have any objections?"

"Veteran dare not disagree, and would like to follow the teachings of the Holy One." Zhu Sheng shook his head, how dare he have any opinions?
He was lucky not to be implicated in today's matter, if he still dares to challenge the emperor at this time, he, the Marquis, will be considered a success.

"Well, as long as there is no objection." Mo Jingyao pretended to be relieved, with a slight smile on his face.

In the corner of the main hall, Mo Junli, who had been neglected for a long time, turned his head and looked out the window. On the palace wall, Yan Chuan was holding a pigeon in his arms and writing vigorously. He finished writing the last stroke and dried the writing on it. , Flipping the note into the mailbox.

He let go, and the pigeon immediately jumped into the void that was about to clear up, and disappeared on the palace wall in the blink of an eye.

　You fools, I was so dizzy writing yesterday that I forgot about Cannon Fodder Passerby and Zhu Feng

　　Why don't you remind...

　　Minor revision at the end of the last chapter, "Only Chao Ling is left" was changed to "Half gone"

　　It's really too much, everyone is more careless than me
　　Robbery a ticket, this thing can't pass without a monthly ticket/recommendation ticket (bushi)
