Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 428 428. Copying the House
A few days ago, the "Shen Lei Army Camp" case caused a sensation in the entire capital, and more than a hundred heads were chopped off.

After tea and dinner, the people in Beijing were still discussing it hotly, which was regarded as "the remaining heat has not dissipated."

But how long has it been stable?
In this capital city, there is once again a "fire drill".

This time the scale is unprecedented!

The Four Royal Guards, namely the vanguard, the rear guard, the left guard, and the right guard, totaling [-] soldiers, are responsible for the defense of the capital, and they are all deployed this time.

They walked into the streets and alleys of the capital, holding spears in their hands, swords hanging on their waists, and armor on their bodies, full of murderous intent!
Like a flood pouring into the city, spreading along the streets...

Covering the whole city!

You must know that the last "Shenlei Army Camp" case only affected the county government in Jiangning County. Compared with the whole city, it can only be called "a small area".

And this time, the whole city, no corner, no area, no streets and alleys, no one is spared!
No matter where you go, you can see soldiers wearing black armor——

That was the Kingsguard.

However, for the common people in the capital, they are all used to it, although it is not as exaggerated as "three days to do one big thing, two days to do one small thing".

But at least we can say "do it once a month, do it once a month, do it a little bit every half month"!

Used to it.

As usual, the people closed their doors and hid in their homes, doing whatever they were supposed to do.

Except for those who are new to the capital. They may be frightened and hide under the bed...

In fact, during this special period, people also have a kind of fun, which can be regarded as "joy in hardship", and that is to lie on the crack of the door and look outside.

This kind of "entertainment project" is performed almost every time there is a turmoil...

But it also has to be divided into different areas. People in ordinary areas will naturally not see much.

All they could see was the Kingsguard galloping down the street, one after another, and it was boring to see them too much.

However, for the people in special areas, this "drama" is quite exciting.

In a private house.

"Breaking in, breaking in, the Royal Guards broke in directly..." A man lay on the crack of the door and looked out, and "broadcasted" from time to time, feeling excited.

"The head of the Luo Mansion across the street is not a simple man. He is the ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau. The Royal Forest Guards broke in directly? What crime did the Luo family commit?" There was another person in the house. Hearing this, he also came over and leaned against the door.

"Who knows, but the position of Ambassador of Jiangning Weaving Bureau is a fat one. Those who have held this position are greedy and greedy... I guess Ambassador Luo has also fallen into this trap!"

"This is not right. If it is corruption, why bother sending out the Royal Guards? Not only did the Royal Guards block all the city gates and prohibited entry and exit, they even sent out all the troops! This is too much of a fight, isn't it? How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer!"

"Um...yes, why is this?"

"Look, there are not only the soldiers of the Royal Forest Guard, but also the police! Those are the policemen of the Prison Department! I didn't expect them to be dispatched too!"

"Okay, if the Prison Department is dispatched, it must be a big case!" The man was excited. "Think about the previous two cases of 'Other Country Detailed Operations' and 'Shen Lei Army Camp' case supervised by the Prison Department. How many were involved? Corrupt and bad officials!”

"These corrupt and bad officials deserve to die. The Director of Prisons is doing a great job..."

……

These two common people were lying on the crack of the door, impassioned and waving "the wrath of a common man" wantonly.

Maybe... this is also a manifestation of "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world".

Because ordinary people really can't do anything and can't accomplish anything.

It is actually very good that they can care about national affairs.

It is much better than those who have no country and no home.

"Look, we've arrested someone, we've arrested someone..." Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly.

Perhaps it was because his voice was so loud this time that it penetrated the door and reached the street outside, attracting the attention of the Kingsguard.

A member of the Royal Forest Guards couldn't help but turn sideways and looked back, his face filled with suspicion.

This sight scared this common man to death.

He immediately covered his mouth tightly.

But his eyes were still round, staring at the world outside the crack of the door without blinking.

Through the crack in the door, I saw that the door of Naluo Mansion was open.

Pairs of Royal Guards, or policemen, detaining Luo family members one after another, walked out one by one, came to the street, and made Luo family members kneel.

"Look, that's Mr. Luo, that's Mr. Luo Dingluo, and Mrs. Luo, Miss Luo... Huh, no one has been spared, including the housekeeper and the boy, etc., there are... probably fifty or sixty of them! "

"Since the Department of Prisons is handling the case, the Luo family must have committed a serious crime, and they all deserve to die! These pests and scum, Master Young Sikou should have caught them all long ago!"

"You are right, but...oh, what a pity, Miss Luo! She is so delicate and beautiful, she will probably be admitted to the Ewha Palace now...I don't know, she will be taken away by that dignitary, and then Holding and playing with Xizhi..."

"Hey, look, the Kingsguard is moving wooden boxes. These wooden boxes... there's still dirt on them, could they have just been dug out of the ground?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I'm guessing that the entire Luo family fell down because of these wooden boxes... I think it may be the money that the Luo family was greedy for ink! Don't forget, the post of ambassador of the Jiangning Weaving Bureau, that is A big gap!"

"No way, there are one, two, three, four... 29, 31, [-]. There are more than [-] large wooden boxes here. If they are all silver taels, how many..."

For a moment, both people in the private house lost their voices.

……

Looking at the entire capital, it was not only the Luofu family that was broken into by the Royal Forest Guards.

There is also the home of Fu Yin of Runzhou Prefecture.

The homes of some of the six departments of the imperial court: the minister, the minister, the lieutenant, and the Yuanwailang.

There are also the homes of senior officials in various temples, prisons, and government offices.

And some merchants' homes in central Beijing.

The people across from their mansion more or less watched the excitement.

The guards of the imperial forest and the policemen acted together to break down the door, seize people, ransack the house...

This scene was frequently staged across the capital.

Although the Kingsguard and the detectives were enjoying their time, they were also secretly worried.

The scene of the last "Shenlei Army Camp" case where the Jiangning County government office was set on fire is still before my eyes.

They were afraid that this situation would happen again, and at an unknown moment, a large group of men in black would suddenly rush out...

But fortunately, this situation never happened from beginning to end.

They couldn't help but heave a heavy sigh of relief.

……

An hour later.

The Forbidden City, Jinshen Hall.

The atmosphere in this hall is still solid!
All civil and military officials and ministers have been standing here for nearly two hours.

Lunch time has already passed.

But Chen Huang didn't seem to know. He didn't say a word and just sat on the dragon chair.

Either flirting with Concubine You or eating pastries and fruits...

Naturally, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng also had their share of cakes and fruits.This is really... I completely envy all the ministers!
Even the Prime Ministers Li Zhong, Yang Tingyu, and King Zhongshan have been standing there for two hours, standing upright without a drop of water in them.

Zhu Xiuyuan was just an earl, and Dong Cheng had a lower status, just a small county magistrate.

However, Emperor Chen first offered a seat, then tea, and now it was even more outrageous. They both had a share of each cake and fruit that Emperor Chen ate.

The ministers' eyes were strange, and their minds were full of thoughts.

Emotions such as jealousy, resentment, and disgust towards Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng surged in their hearts.

However, the two sons-in-law Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng also gradually let go of their hands and feet. They sat there calmly, calmly accepting the reward from Emperor Chen, and then ate and drank as if no one else was around...

What's even more annoying is that they occasionally chatted with Chen Huang, but they were all about innocuous matters.

This is...this is treating the ministers as if they are nothing!
Not to mention the ministers who originally hated Zhu Xiuyuan, even the expressions of Yang Tingyu and King Zhenze have changed again and again...

"Your Majesty, I have the original performance!"

Finally, someone couldn't stand any longer and stepped out to pay homage.

His appearance and voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked around, but it turned out to be a doctor from the Ministry of Finance——

Wuzhongdao Qingli Si Langzhong, the rank of the fifth grade.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a while, and then chuckled.

After waiting for so long, an "outstanding bird" finally appeared. It was interesting, haha, now there is something exciting to watch.

Both Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng had a good time, but by chance, this "outstanding bird" was on the list of this case and was implicated in a nest case...

This doctor from the household department not only attracted the attention of Zhu Xiuyuan and others, but also naturally attracted the attention of Emperor Chen on the dragon chair and Concubine You on the phoenix chair.

Emperor Chen was eating a grape, which Concubine You personally fed, with a calm expression on his face.

His head tilted toward Concubine You, as if he was listening.

"Your Majesty, this person is Su Liang, a doctor from the Ministry of Finance." Concubine You said softly.

Her voice was really soft. Based on the distance, Prime Minister Li Zhong and King Zhongshan who were standing at the front should not be able to hear her.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng heard it because they were closer to Emperor Chen's throne.

This Emperor Chen didn't even know the ministers in the palace... He still needed Concubine You to remind him.

Both Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng felt strange, but they didn't dare to show any abnormality, pretending they didn't hear it.

Emperor Chen took Concubine You's prompt and sat up straight, raised his eyes and said, "Su Aiqing, what do you want to report?"

"Your Majesty, I first reported that Jiang Chengbo killed innocent people indiscriminately, resulting in thousands of people being beheaded or exiled. This is his first crime. Secondly, I reported that Jiang Chengbo and Dong County Magistrate despised the court's laws and etiquette. Now the Prime Minister of the country has , Old Prince Zhongshan is in front of you, these two people dare to sit down in front of the imperial steps... This is the second crime!"

What the doctor from the Ministry of Finance said was really impassioned.

Deafening!

All the ministers in the hall applauded in their hearts, and let out a bad breath.

Although, they all felt that the doctor from Tobe was probably doomed.

Their Majesty is not a wise king!
Sometimes, it's so stupid.

I don’t even tell you the truth, I just ordered Jin Wuwei to drag him down and behead him...

Therefore, while the ministers were happy, they were also sweating over it.

"Dong Aiqing!" Chen Huang's expression did not change and he only waved to Dong Cheng.

"I'm here!" Dong Cheng quickly walked to the center of the imperial steps and bowed.

"Come forward..." Chen Huang continued to wave his hand, "I seem to remember that there is Su Liang's here. Please help me look for it."

After Dong Cheng walked up the imperial steps, Chen Huang pointed at the three large baskets of evidence.

Dong Cheng said yes, then squatted down and rummaged inside...

This scene fell in the eyes of the ministers. They were confused at first, and then horrified.

They seemed to understand something.

Su Liang, the "premier" doctor from the household department, was also worried at the moment, but he could still remain calm.

While Dong Cheng was searching, Chen Huang gave another look to the old eunuch who was waiting by his side.

The old eunuch was also a good person, so he nodded and left.

"Your Majesty, I found it." Dong Cheng rummaged for a while and presented a document.

Suddenly, all the ministers' eyes fell on this document, especially Su Liang, the doctor from the household department, whose eyes were condensed.

Chen Huang's words just now, "There is Su Liang in this," were still fresh in his mind.

So what does this document say about him?
Su Liangliang suddenly felt bad, I'm afraid it wasn't a good word.

Now, Su Liang regrets a little. He shouldn't have gone out on impulse...

Chen Huang took the document, opened it and glanced at it a few times. The more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and the accumulation of anger was obvious.

When the ministers saw this, they felt even more worried.

"Su Liang, you are so courageous! You are guilty!" Chen Huang seemed to be extremely angry, grabbed the documents from the dragon case, and threw them down the imperial steps.

The document was a "folded book". After Emperor Chen got angry and threw it away, it fell to the ground in a mess.

Emperor Chen was so angry that all the ministers were frightened and their hearts sank.

The Hubu Langzhong even knelt down directly, but his mouth was very hard: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't know what crime I have committed?"

"What is the crime? Hehe, where is the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" There was anger in Chen Huang's voice. At this moment, Chen Huang was scary.

"Old minister is here!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice came out to pay homage.

The Minister of Punishment has white hair and a white beard, but his body is still strong. He has stood here for more than two hours without moving at all.

"The document contains all the crimes committed by Su Liang. According to your Ministry of Punishment, what crime should be committed?" Chen Huang said.

The Minister of Punishment stepped forward, picked up the document, and looked through it closely.

"Your Majesty, according to this document, Su Liang, a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, forced a good girl into prostitution, set up a secret money bank, and ran a private casino... He hurt 19 lives and destroyed more than 35 families... According to my law, Su Liang should be executed. , ransacked the house, and ordered the elders to be beheaded, while the younger ones were punished by confiscating the Lihua Palace and being slaves forever!" the Minister of Punishment read calmly.

"Your Majesty, I... I have been wronged... I have been wronged... Your Majesty, Uncle Jiang Cheng must have fabricated the charges. I have been wronged. Please take a closer look..."

Su Liang shouted that he was wronged and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic...

At this time, huge waves suddenly arose in the hearts of the ministers.

Their eyes were bulging and their mouths were slightly open, not closing for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this document is only one-sided. Witnesses and physical evidence are still needed to convict." The Minister of Punishment held the document in his hand, with white hair and white beard, and a calm look on his face.

"Sir, Lord Shangshu, help me, Lord Shangshu... help me..." Su Liang seemed to be grasping the life-saving straw.

However, Shangshu Li of the Ministry of Punishment ignored him.

"You want evidence, then I will give you evidence, come on!"

As soon as Chen Huang finished speaking, several Jin Wu guards came into the palace, bringing with them several people and several trays with some things on them.
