Chapter 721 Harvest Season ([-])

"Duan Ruiyuan, the facts are all there, what else can I say!"

Xiao Xiong and the others came prepared, and it is not too late to tell the story. After a short while, the three of them explained Duan Ruiyuan's extortion of bribes in detail. After that, Hong Qing picked up the gavel again, slapped it hard, and let out a stern voice.

"This is a false accusation. The lower officials never asked for bribes. They framed the lower officials. The lower officials refused to accept it, and refused to accept it even to death!"

Although the three witnesses did not speak for a long time, it was enough for Duan Ruiyuan to come to his senses. He thought to himself that no one else was present when he asked for bribes three times.

"Framed? Hey, what a false accusation. The three of them are officials who are thousands of miles apart and have nothing to do with each other. How could they frame you together? It's really ridiculous! At this point, you still dare to quibble, it's very good, come on Lah, take this guy to wear Hualing, drag him down, and beat him fifty times!"

Hearing that Duan Ruiyuan was still holding on, Hong Qing was not so easy to talk, first refuted what he said mercilessly, and finally stopped drinking, this will be a severe punishment in court.

"twitter!"

As soon as Hong Qing gave this order, several guards of the royal residence immediately agreed, they all rushed forward, took off Duan Ruiyuan's hat, and dragged him down the hall.

"Random, you are reckless, the officials refuse to accept, refuse to accept..."

As soon as Duan Ruiyuan heard that he was about to be hit by a board, he panicked, screaming hoarsely, and struggling indiscriminately, but he was just a civil servant, how could he break free from the restraint of those powerful palace guards , was dragged directly to the entrance of the hall.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Duan Ruiyuan was getting worse, Le Xiheng couldn't sit still, stood up regardless, raised his hand, and stopped loudly.

Le Xiheng yelled loudly, but the problem was that the guards of the palace didn't pay attention to him, they didn't pay attention to his shouting, and dragged Duan Ruiyuan out of the hall, knocked him to the ground, He lowered his trousers, picked up the board, and beat him mercilessly. After just a few blows, Duan Ruiyuan howled miserably.

"Master Zhang, the officials thought this was a trick of torture, you can't sit idly by."

Seeing that his words were useless at all, Le Xiheng's old face immediately turned black, but he didn't dare to argue with Hong Qing gong to gong or drum to drum in court He didn't want to just sit back and watch Duan Ruiyuan's confidant die, he had no choice but to bow his hands to Zhang Tingyu, and shouted out of righteous indignation, trying to stir up Zhang Tingyu's hatred of the same enemy.

"Le servant, please be safe and don't be impatient, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to perform in a while."

Zhang Tingyu is such a cautious person, how could he be moved by Le Xiheng's little trick, Shuangchun closed her eyes tightly, her face was as calm as water, as if she had never heard Le Xiheng's words, but Hong Qing laughed , pressed his hand, and nodded meaningfully.

"Eh..."

As soon as Hong Qing said those words, Le Xiheng's heart jumped wildly, and his eyeballs rolled wildly a few times. It hurt like a thorn.

"Where is Zorro?"

Hong Qing didn't pay attention to the bewildered Le Xiheng, and didn't look at Duan Ruiheng who was being beaten to the point of crying. Instead, he looked around at the various officials with different expressions, and stopped drinking in a cold voice. voice.

"My, my officer is here, here!"

Zhuo Erluo, a native of Zhenglan Banner, a servant of Jiu Ye’s family, entered the Ministry of Officials in 43 years as a pen post, was promoted to the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in 46 years, was promoted to Yuanwai Lang in 50 years, and was promoted to doctor in 53 years. The Kaogong Division is in charge of the doctor, but he can be regarded as a key figure in the division, and he is also one of the people who are usually the most resistant to the tasks assigned by Hong Qing. Sometimes he even dares to speak nonsense in front of Hong Qing, but this will Seeing Duan Ruiyuan howling miserably there, Zhuo Erluo still had the arrogance of the past, when Hong Qing called his name, Qi Po was frightened for three times, but seeing him rushing out of the queue in a panic, trembling Trembling, he knelt down on the ground, his speech was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Master Zhuo, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, is the money collected comfortably?"

Seeing that Zhuo Erluo, who used to be dragged like two hundred and five in front of her in the past, was actually frightened into such a look, a sneer of contempt appeared on the corner of Hong Qing's mouth, and she asked a question in a joking tone.

"Ah, this..., my officer, my officer..."

Hearing Hong Qing's strange question, Zhuo Erluo's flustered heart suddenly became even more panicked, he hesitated for a while, but didn't say anything, sweat dripped from his forehead Like a spring, that look is as embarrassing as it can be.

"Master Zhuo, do you want to speak out by yourself, or should I ask someone to help you? The former can be regarded as your surrender, and the latter, you can see the clue by looking at Duan Ruiyuan's fate. You can figure it out by yourself."

Looking at Zhuo Erluo's terrified face, Hong Qing's heart felt refreshed for a while, nothing else, Hong Qing had had enough of being an official in the bureaucracy for more than a year, and there was nothing she could do. The official department is the place where the old man watches the most closely, and there is such an important official as Zhang Tingyu sitting in charge, Hong Qing really dare not take a knife in the official department easily until he is absolutely sure. It's the season of calculating the ledger, so it's not easy to entertain Zhuo Erluo and the others, but the bad breath in Hong Qing's heart can't be dispelled no matter what.

"I'm an official, I don't know why, I don't know why, I'm an official, I'm an official..."

Zhuo Erluo's official career has gone very smoothly. Since entering the official position, he has climbed up almost every three years. He is only less than forty now, and he is already a fifth-rank official in the official department. The Jinshi who came from a genuine brand is still a lot stronger, but it is precisely because he has always been too smooth, and his ability to resist wind and waves is not enough. Before Hong Qing officially started the interrogation, he was already completely confused. Standing on his feet, he responded indiscriminately, and it was only a thin line away from collapse.

"Master Zhuo doesn't seem to have a very good memory. This is not a good thing. Anyway, I will give you a little reminder. Yesterday, from the four quarters of Chenshi to the last card of Shenshi, I met six people in total. Officials, five are from various ministries, one is from Hunan, if Mr. Zhuo still can't think of anything, then I have no choice but to invite you to taste the taste of the board with Duan Ruiyuan."

Hong Qing didn't think much of Zhuo Erluo's cheap bones, and didn't bother to play tricks with him, so she teased him without any scruples.

"Ah, no, no, I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting, I shouldn't be confused for a while, I'm..."

Hearing what Hong Qing said, Zhuo Erluo's already extremely fragile psychological defense had completely collapsed, and he knelt down on the ground trembling, babbling in detail about the incident of receiving a red envelope from a debriefing official yesterday. After speaking carefully, she couldn't help but feel so panicked that she even confessed all the bribery in the past few days. This kind of self-awareness was really beyond Hong Qing's expectation.

"Come on, let this fellow sign the bond!"

Duan Ruiyuan's torture in the hall was not over yet, Zhuo Erluo had already confessed his guilt thoroughly, although Hong Qing was surprised at Zhuo Erluo's fragility, but he didn't have the time to talk to him, and he waved his hand loudly. He gave an order.

"twitter!"

After Hong Qing issued this order, the two palace guards who were in charge of the transcripts strode forward, pressing Zhuo Erluo to sign and detain him.

"Come here, take Drow Luoge to wear Hualing, and wait for participation later!"

Although the crimes Zhuoerluo confessed in court were only a small part of the many crimes he committed, the amount involved was as much as 8000 taels, which was enough to send him to the guillotine. Qing didn't interrogate him any more, but gave a stern shout, and the guards of the palace who were waiting beside him suddenly agreed, rushed forward, and dragged Zorluo, who had already been limp on the ground, out of the hall.

"Oh!"

Not long after Zhuo Erluo was detained, he saw two palace guards carrying Duan Ruiyuan, who was dripping with blood, up the hall, disregarding that Duan Ruiyuan was already in a coma, and threw him heavily to the ground , there was a muffled sound, and the expressions of all the officials in the hall changed wildly.

"Ouch, it hurts me too much, ouch, ouch..."

Fifty boards are not so easy to bear. Poor Duan Ruiyuan is just a penniless person. He has experienced such suffering. It is good to be in a coma, but after being knocked, he woke up. This time After waking up, even though Dang was dizzy from the pain, how could he have any grace at all, lying on the ground and moaning endlessly.

"Duan Ruiyuan, do you want to recruit?"

Duan Ruiyuan looked very pitiful, but Hong Qing would not have the slightest sympathy, no matter how badly he groaned, he took the gavel and slapped it, and then cut off a sentence with a stern voice.

"I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty, I'm not guilty..."

Is Duan Ruiyuan a person who has worked in various places? Although he looks weak, his bones are much tougher than Zhuo Erluo. Because of the crimes of soliciting bribes that he committed, according to the law, it is enough to beheaded. If he is recruited, he will die. He still has a way out, because of this, even though his body hurts badly, Duan Ruiyuan is still very stubborn.

"Don't recruit? It's very good, come on, drag it down, and hit another [-] big boards!"

Although the evidence in hand is enough to convict Duan Ruiyuan of the crime, but without his personal confession, there are legal flaws, and it is very likely that he will be used by Ba Ye and others. Obviously, this is not a situation that Hongqing likes to see. If he doesn't take action, it's all right. With this action, the case must be settled. In view of this, Duan Ruiyuan dared to resist to the end, and Hongqing felt angry. But it got louder, picked up the gavel and slapped it, and ordered again.

"slow down"

With Hong Qing's order, all the guards of the palace did not dare to be negligent, they all agreed, rushed forward again, set up Duan Ruiyuan and dragged him down the hall, but at this moment, Hearing a shout, it rang again, and immediately saw a person rushing out from the side, blocking the way of the palace guards...
