Chapter 884 Punishment
In the flash of lightning, before anyone could react, the upright and upright Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice pinched Marquis Weiyuan's neck like a duck to death, and began to shake it crazily.

Marquis Weiyuan stuck out half of his tongue, saliva sloshing around.

He originally fainted, but he couldn't resist Tao Ye's life-threatening shaking. His eyes trembled instinctively, and he wanted to open them. Unfortunately, his body was tied up, and he couldn't resist and pushed Tao Ye away. His face was twisted into a ball.

The commander of the imperial army kneeling on Tao Ye's side was immediately frightened by Tao Ye's rhythm of shaking the earth and trying to strangle Marquis Weiyuan to death. He couldn't help but reach out and touch his neck, took a deep breath, and finally realized what happened. Afterwards, I felt relieved.

With a flick of his eyelids, he suddenly realized that this was in the imperial study.

Weiyuan Hou refused to die and deserved to be cut into pieces with a thousand knives. But it was one thing for him to die. It was another thing for him to be strangled to death by Tao Ye. What's more, he was still in the imperial study room...

Immediately, the commander of the imperial army grabbed Tao Ye's wrist and said, "Master Tao, calm down. Your Majesty will make a wise decision."

In order to fear that Tao Ye, who was in a state of madness, would not be able to hear his voice at all, the commander of the imperial army increased his strength in his hands as he spoke.

After all, Tao Ye was a scholar, so he could not withstand his pinching. His wrist hurt for a moment, and he let go of Weiyuan Hou. At this time, Weiyuan Hou, who had been completely woken up by Tao Ye, immediately opened his mouth and gasped, turning to one side of his body. It moved to the sole of Tao Ye's feet.

Like an old dog on the verge of death.

Tao Ye was stopped by the commander of the forbidden army. He was so angry that he stood up and looked at the commander of the forbidden army with golden eyes, "Are you crazy?"

Commander of the Forbidden Army... I'm crazy... I'm afraid you're crazy.

The emperor rubbed his brows and looked at his two important ministers making a fuss underneath, but he was surprisingly calm.

Being pinched by Tao Ye, Weiyuan Hou regained his composure. Because his body was tied, he could not move easily, and the fear had drained all his strength. Like a clumsy pig, he moved his body, raised his head, and looked straight. To the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please be kind to me. Although the business of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is not very good, in recent years, no matter what difficulties the court faces, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has always tried its best to help. More than half of the money I earned was spent on the court. of."

"Wars, famines, and such things cannot be avoided in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and the expenses required are even greater. Without the help of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, how can we support it with the treasury alone? I'm afraid it will burden the people again." Taxation, if this is the case, wouldn’t His Majesty become a foolish king who is stabbed in the spine by the people!”

The more Marquis Weiyuan spoke, the more reasonable he felt. The more he spoke, the more confident and convincing he became. A trace of blush appeared on his pale face due to excitement.

"The business of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is, yes, shady, but his profit is to seek happiness for the people of the world and for His Majesty. I am willing to bear the responsibility of this person who is despised by thousands of people alone, and I also want to do it for him. Your Majesty shares your worries."

"I risked my life and did this thing that went against my conscience, all because of Your Majesty! I have worked so hard, Your Majesty, if others can't understand me, can't you, Your Majesty..."

The more Marquis Weiyuan talked, the more he felt aggrieved.

After Tao Ye was finally restrained by the commander of the imperial army, he gradually calmed down. When he heard what Marquis Weiyuan said, he immediately jumped into rage.

He glanced at the rope tied up by Wuhua Da and determined that it was thick enough so that Hou Weiyuan would not be able to break free. He immediately jumped up from the ground, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, and reached out to pinch Weiyuan Hou's neck.

Just before he arrived at Weiyuan Hou, a black shadow flew past him. In the blink of an eye, he saw that Weiyuan Hou had been lifted up by the commander of the Forbidden Army. Before Weiyuan Hou let out a panicked cry, the commander of the Forbidden Army raised his palms. Falling down, he slapped Weiyuan Hou on the back of his neck.

Weiyuan Marquis suddenly looked like a lifeless duck, hanging his neck and letting the commander of the imperial army lift him up in the air.

Following Tao Ye's example, the commander of the imperial army said: "Your Majesty pardons me, but I can't bear it anymore."

The emperor was so angry at Hou Weiyuan's shameless yet righteous words, and was about to take offense at the crime, when he saw Tao Ye and the commander of the imperial army making moves.

He clenched his fist and smashed it on the table, and with a pair of eyes that were red with rage, he said to Tao Ye: "Post the charges of this beast, and drag him to the streets early tomorrow morning. If he completes a tour of Kyoto, he will If you haven't been beaten to death yet, go to all over the suburbs of Beijing, wherever you go, until you are beaten to death!"

As soon as Tao Ye heard that the emperor had punished Weiyuan Hou, he immediately accepted the order, "I obey the order!" He said it with great dignity, "I will do it immediately! What should I do with the family members of Weiyuan Hou Mansion?"

"The best servants were exiled, the rest were sold, and the masters of the house paraded through the streets with Marquis Weiyuan."

"The minister obeys the order!"

After that, he kowtowed and saluted, stood up and walked out, pointing at the two forbidden soldiers who had just come in with Marquis Weiyuan, "Take him and follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor stopped him again, "That Yingxiu..."

Tao Ye knew what the emperor meant and immediately said: "I have misunderstood. Father and daughter are of the same lineage. Marquis Weiyuan is like this. How can Yingxiu be so good? No matter how good he is, his blood is flowing in his bones. What's more, I personally captured Marquis Weiyuan and came back, how could Yingxiu be willing to marry me without having any other thoughts?"

For a moment, the emperor suddenly felt sorry for Tao Ye.

After being single for so long, it was so easy to fall in love with someone, and yet something like this happened... I originally wanted to comfort him, but under such circumstances, it was not appropriate to say such a thing. The emperor waved his hand, signaling Tao Ye to leave.

"Mr. Gan is still in the palace, don't forget to take her with you." Xiao Yu, who had been silent, suddenly shouted at Tao Ye's back.

As soon as Tao Ye left, the emperor ordered the commander of the imperial army to "seize all the property of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and make a record of it all and confiscate it."

The commander of the forbidden army took orders to execute.

When the door to the royal study was closed again, the emperor let out a breath, but the turbulent anger in his body could not be dissipated. His face was ashen, and the anger in his eyes was like red fire fuel.

The emperor and Xiao Yu sat and stood in silence for a long time. Finally, after a trace of blood showed on the emperor's face, the emperor turned to look at Xiao Yu, "Why don't you speak?"

Xiao Yu blinked, "What did you say?"

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Yu curled his lips and said, "I am wondering whether Concubine Li knows about the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. If she knows, does the Empress know about it? After all, Concubine Li and the Empress were close to each other back then. Although Empress Li and the Empress parted ways, according to the Queen's temperament, she never dealt harshly with Empress Li after that. At best, it was just a small beating for three days and a big warning for five days."

"But as soon as the Empress disappeared, Concubine Li immediately killed Jingyu. She did not hesitate to take advantage of the young Eleven, even in front of the Empress's mourning hall. This behavior was clearly a kind of revenge on the Empress. !”
