Song Yi

Chapter 516 Drag out and behead!
Hezhi County also received the invitation from King Hang, and asked him to go to the small tent behind to accept the prince's interview.

He was flattered and at the same time a little disturbed.

He didn't expect that his little magistrate was qualified to meet the prince, this honor is infinite honor, from now on, he will be able to achieve great success just around the corner.

He couldn't walk anymore, he was at a loss.

Two days ago, Master Wang beside him disappeared mysteriously, and he didn't know where he went. This was a blow to Hezhi County.

After all, Master Wang came up with many ideas for him. He really wanted to ask Master Wang why King Hang wanted to see him, a little official.But Master Wang couldn't even find a shadow, so he could only keep guessing in his stomach.

Led by the guards, he came outside the hall nervously.

The guards let him in after verifying his identity.

Entering the meeting hall of the King of Hang, you can see that there are appeasement envoys, dispatch envoys, transshipment envoys, criminal envoys and other big bosses sitting in it.

They are all top existences, they are the real gods of Hangzhou, he is really a frog crawling out from the bottom of the well, he is dumbfounded, everyone looks at him coldly.

He hurried over to bow to each other, bowing to the end.

The other party just snorted.

Those who snorted coldly were already considered good, and some even turned a blind eye to him. After all, he was a small county magistrate, and Mao was not even Mao in the eyes of these big shots.

After walking around, he came back in disgrace, ready to find a place to sit down.

Only then did he realize that there was a number on the chair, but there was no number on his invitation.But all the positions are numbered.

He hurriedly called a maid to ask, but the maid shook her head to express her ignorance, so he had to stand still.

Soon, all the bigwigs in the tent arrived, including the prefects and judges of each state on Liangzhe Road.They are all senior officials much older than him, and none of them is the same county magistrate as him, except him.

He could only stand in the corner respectfully, not daring to show his breath.

Everyone was sitting, but he was standing behind in embarrassment.But at this moment, he saw three people walking in, and there was actually Du Wenhao inside.

When he was in embarrassment and embarrassment, he suddenly saw Du Wenhao coming here, his head was dizzy, and without thinking, he pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Du, don't open your dog eyes to see where this is. Are you the one who can just mess around? I really think you are a character. Come and drag this dog out!"

But no one came to agree. All the attendants by the tent looked at him coldly, and he pointed at the guard with the knife angrily: "Didn't you hear, I am the magistrate of Qiantang County, and I order you to drag this bastard out!"

The guard with the knife turned over and looked at him like an idiot.

He Zhixian was so angry and anxious that he rushed up to arrest Du Wenhao himself.

Xu Huaqiang, who was next to him, flicked his robe sleeves, and slammed into him with great force, throwing He Zhixian seven or eight steps away, even dropping his black hat.

Du Wenhao sneered and walked in.

When Eunuch Ning saw him, his face was full of smiles, he hurried up to greet him, bowed and saluted him and said, "My lord, you are here!"

The sound of the prince was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, which shocked He Zhixian who was looking for an official hat on the ground, and was stunned on the spot.

He murmured in disbelief: "My lord? Is this young man who recruited a son-in-law the lord who will be canonized King of Hang?"

When the other people heard that the prince was coming, they quickly stood up, left their seats one by one, walked to the front, and lined up according to their rank.

Du Wenhao nodded with a smile, and saluted them one by one.

Among them, the appeasement envoys and transfer envoys were all old acquaintances of Du Wenhao, and they were very kind, while the other officials had never met Du Wenhao, and the appeasement envoys recommended them to Du Wenhao one by one.

These officials respectfully stepped forward to meet the prince, seeing that Du Wenhao was named prince at such a young age, they couldn't help but secretly marveled.

After meeting each other one by one, He Zhixian came back to his senses a little, and hurried over to stand in the last row, his whole body shaking like chaff.

Du Wenhao ignored him, and just said to Eunuch Ning: "It's time to start."

Eunuch Ning nodded, took out the imperial edict and began to read it.

After the imperial decree to confer Du Wenhao as King of Hang was read out, Eunuch Ning respectfully handed over the imperial decree to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao handed it over to Xu Huaqiang to keep it.

Eunuch Ning glanced at the high-ranking officials of Liangzhe Road present, and said, "Next, pass on the oral order from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Your lords, please kneel down to receive the order."

All the officials lifted their robes and knelt on the ground.

He Zhixian was so frightened that he didn't react and stood there stupidly.It wasn't until a guard stepped forward and kicked him hard on the back of his knee that he fell to his knees with a plop.

Eunuch Ning went on to say: "The emperor and the empress dowager have ordered: the King of Hang bears the imperial order, and you must keep the identity of the King of Hang strictly confidential, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it. If the identity of the King of Hang is leaked, you and other officials will be dismissed and sent to prison for severe punishment." Don't give up, do this!"

Everyone here is dripping with cold sweat, this is sitting in a row.

As long as one speaks out, everyone will be unlucky.

The imperial decree of the emperor and the empress dowager was so clear, how dare they disobey it, they only made up their minds secretly, they would rather keep this matter in their stomachs than say it out.If you are afraid of speaking out in your dreams, you'd better put a rag in your mouth.

Eunuch Ning glanced at the crowd, and then said: "The emperor and the empress dowager ordered all officials in Hangzhou to be promoted and dismissed. It is up to the King of Hangzhou to decide and report to the Ministry of Officials for the record. All officials on the Liangzhe Road must obey the orders of the King of Hang. , the King of Hang can be executed directly, without the need to play. This is it!"

At this moment, all the officials began to tremble.

Especially He Zhixian, who just peed his pants, and immediately a smell of feces came out.He was paralyzed on the ground, forced to support the ground with his hands, and cried out in his heart.

However, there are still many officials who are happy, especially the officials in Hangzhou. It is better for them to be directly under the jurisdiction of King Hang.Because King Hang is right in front of him, he can find someone directly without going to the capital.

Of course, doing bad things is under the nose, and you can see it at a glance, so those who want to do things in a down-to-earth way are happy, while those who have dirty buttocks and corrupted the law are naturally worried.

After Eunuch Ning delivered the emperor's and queen mother's oral instructions, he looked at Du Wenhao respectfully: "My lord, please speak."

Du Wenhao nodded, glanced at the officials kneeling on the ground, and said, "With the grace of the Empress Dowager, I canonize me as the King of Hangzhou, and we will be a family from now on."

A group of officials immediately kowtowed and said, "I would like to obey the order of the prince."

Du Wenhao said again: "I am a person with clear grievances and grievances. Those who are meritorious will be rewarded with promotion, and those who are guilty will be severely punished. I will never tolerate it."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and looked at Hezhi County: "For example, Hezhi County in Qiantang County. I have been in Hangzhou for the past few days and have found out his crimes of embezzlement, corruption, malpractice, and neglect of human life. Today, I will take him Come to the knife!"

He Zhixian kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and said: "I'm guilty of death, my minister is guilty of death, please forgive me..."

Du Wenhao waved his hand: "Bring people in."

A few guards outside immediately dragged Mr. Wang in like a dog, and threw him beside Hezhi County.

Du Wenhao said: "This Master Wang is a person close to Hezhi County, and he has confessed several crimes in Hezhi County. Now, let's talk about it in public."

Master Wang has been arrested and confessed before, but now he was scared out of his wits. Hearing this, he quickly picked the main ones about the bad things Hezhi County did.

Because he was involved in everything, so he knew it very clearly.Only a few things were mentioned, and the faces of the officials present were livid with anger.

But the prince was here, and it was not their turn to speak, and each of them dared to be angry but dared not speak out. They all stared at He Zhixian with fire in their eyes.

Especially Ruan Zuhui, the magistrate of Hangzhou, was so angry that he trembled and at the same time his liver burst from fright. He Zhixian is his direct subordinate, and he is also responsible for negligence of duty for such a corrupt official.

His whole body trembled like a dead leaf in the wind.

After Mr. Wang explained the main crimes of He Zhi County, Du Wenhao looked at He Zhi County coldly and said, "What else do you have to say?"

He Zhixian's intestines are green with regret. In fact, how many officials have clean buttocks?If you close your eyes on the one above, it will pass.Just like fishing in a river, you won't catch all the fish in the river, and whoever catches it depends on who is unlucky.

However, he was blind and couldn't recognize people. He didn't know that the incomparably humble son-in-law in front of him, the impoverished beggar-like Ling doctor, was actually the king of Hangzhou.

He actually claimed to be the God of Hangzhou in front of Du Wenhao, and even claimed that Du Wenhao was not worthy to kneel at his feet and lift his shoes for him.

If I hadn't been so high-spirited, and didn't treat people as people, I wouldn't have offended the King of Hang.Maybe he can also take advantage of the opportunity that King Hang saved his daughter to get in touch with King Hang, so as to make a fortune.

But I was blinded by lard, and my eyes became blind. If I don't open my eyes, I will offend the God of Hangzhou.

He was already paralyzed on the ground, and he couldn't say a word except for mercy.

Du Wenhao didn't say much, he waved his hand and said, "Take them out and chop them off!"

This sentence made all the officials present in the states tremble, and several guards dragged the magistrate and Master Wang out of the tent.

The voice of chanting for mercy stopped abruptly, and soon a guard brought in two bloody heads on a tray, which were the heads of He Zhixian and Master Wang.

Several officials present were so frightened that they fainted on the ground. Others were even pale, and some of their pants were wet.
