Chapter 646: Sacrifice
Chapter 646 Abandoned Son
Facing the menacing eyes of His Highness, Zheng Huan calmly took out a thick stack of complaints from his sleeve, knelt down respectfully, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zheng Huan, Supervisor of Ning County, dares to I am going to sue Han Zhen, the prefect of Changning County, and 108 officials of the state government, for forty-eight serious crimes including enclosing fertile land, oppressing the common people, embezzling public wages, and killing Zhongliang.”
Lin Jinxiao knew that what Zheng Huan said must be true, but his behavior today was really intolerable.
If everyone wants to curse and scold the court before impeaching him like him, everyone in Pingning Prefecture will be able to ride on their own necks to do their best.
Glancing coldly at the officials with different expressions under the hall, he didn't answer, and walked straight into the hall leaning on crutches.
The rest of the people saw that King Pingning had no intention of dealing with Zheng Huan's impeachment papers, and they all started to attack this person.
Lin Jinqian took the lead in saying: "Bold Zheng Huan, how dare you utter wild words and slander Shangguan, how can you know the court's laws?"
The governors of the counties were also worried that someone under their rule would do such a disrespectful act, so they all echoed and said: "This guy is really audacious and disrespectful to Your Highness. .”
"Your Highness, please punish Zheng Huan immediately."
"Your Highness, please punish Zheng Huan severely."
The crowd shouted and killed one after another.
Seeing this, Tang Ru couldn't help flashing a sly smile on his face:
It seems that Lin Jinxiao really doesn't dare to risk the disgrace of the world, and only a fool would use a few provocative words from a reckless man to oppose the entire officialdom.
Hearing the angry roars around, Zheng Huan murmured in his heart, and his big hands holding up the complaint began to tremble tremblingly.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he looked at Chu Nanzhi standing on the top of the jade steps and his highness and princesses, and asked with a sad expression: "My lord, what I said is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. The old minister dares to use his family The lives of the seventy-three people are guaranteed."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't bear to close her eyes.
This person may indeed be magnanimous and wants to plead for the people, but his trick of sensationalizing people's attention is really unacceptable, so it's no wonder that the little boy left without making a sound.
Now that the prelude has been kicked off, right now I have to let this person suffer some grievances, sharpen his spirit, and let him taste what it's like to be an abandoned son by the way, so that Tang Ru can completely fall into this chaos.
Only in this way can it be logical to hold Tang Ru's handle.
Taking a deep breath, she also pretended to look at Tang Ru in a daze, and deliberately asked, "How does the governor think about this?"
Seeing that she took the initiative to ask him, Tang Ru was secretly happy, and then he clasped his hands righteously and replied: "Qi Wangfei, this Zheng Huan must be deliberately slandering the prefect Han, trying to collude with the Baiyu people in order to do something wrong."
"Oh, I see."
Chu Nanzhi felt nauseous and vomited when she heard this, she quickly waved her hands and said, "I am not feeling well, so I will send Zheng Huan to prison immediately, and order the governor to handle the affairs of the state on my behalf."
After the words fell, he led the quadruplets into the hall together.
The stern look in Tang Ru's eyes that had been concealed for a long time was finally exposed at this moment, and he shouted loudly to the crowd: "Put Zheng Huan in prison, and immediately send troops to Changning County to wipe out the rebels."
"Your Highness, Wangfei, the old minister is completely sincere, and he only cares about the stability of Pingning Prefecture and has no other intentions. You two should not trust others to instigate you."
Zheng Huan was being dragged and dragged under escort, and he kept shouting for grievances: "Your Majesty is confused, Your Majesty is so confused, you actually handed over the important city of our empire's granary to such incompetent people, and the empire is in danger."
As Zheng Huan was dragged down, many people under the jade steps could not help but hang their heads sadly, and the rest of the people clapped their hands and flocked to Tang Ru, and smugly cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations to the governor."
"Today is His Royal Highness's conferment, we should enter the palace to congratulate His Highness and the princess."
Tang Ru had no scruples at all, and smiled unscrupulously: "His Royal Highness and Princess Wang are both unwell, and today's banquet can only be presided over by the governor. Please, colleagues."
Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an were not used to seeing this junior's sudden complacency, and silently led the students' families and Lin's relatives into the hall.
Watching everyone enter the hall, Kang Xiu whispered to Tang Ru: "Why didn't the governor directly ask the princess to kill Zheng Huan?"
"Hey, don't rush this matter."
Tang Ru waved his hands carelessly: "The couple's actions today are probably still testing me. If I am in a hurry to kill this person, it will make them feel that I am protecting Han Zhen. Huan has angered King Pingning today, he will not trust this person again, then Zheng Huan will not think about himself, he will also think about his family, and he will definitely not speak easily again."
"The governor is really clever."
After Kang Xiu understood his intention, he finally showed a respectful expression.
Lin Jinqian was even more proud: "My princess said long ago that Kang Sili needn't worry too much. My brother and sister-in-law Wang don't care about the affairs of Pingning Prefecture now. If I don't rely on my son-in-law, his fiefdom will be changed sooner or later." surname."
"Changing his surname is not a big deal, as long as he is willing to serve King Qinghe, after King Qinghe takes over Jingling City, he might be able to reward his family with a hot meal."
Encouraged by the couple's words, Kang Xiu gradually became elated, and felt that it would not be difficult to win over the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
The congratulatory banquet in the main hall has already begun, and Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi both entered the Chunhua Residence in the main hall.
Seeing the listless looks of the couple and the young Highness and the princess, the officials in the palace were extremely anxious.
Hai Da'a invited the doctor from the palace, Chu Nanzhi only asked the doctor to take the pulse for him, and then ordered Shi Songliao to go to the main hall to help host the banquet.
The female family has Liu Yun and the family aunt Zhou's Zhangluo, and there are two teachers and wives, so she is not worried about anything going wrong.
After Song Liao left, Chu Nanzhi dismissed the rest of the attendants because Lin Jinxiao was unwell and needed to rest, and ordered Tang Weiming to guard in front of the courtyard, leaving only Hai Da'a and Yin Liuxuan, the two chiefs in charge of internal and external affairs of the palace, and the captain Li Ce and his wife, the deputy governor of the government.
In the quiet inner hall of Chunhua, Li Ce looked in the direction of the inner room from time to time, wanting to see his brother's current situation.
Since he entered the Captain's Mansion, he and Lin Jinxiao have become very separated. Although he is aware of his mission, he still cannot help but worry about his brother's safety.
Chu Nanzhi saw the uneasiness on his face, and immediately ordered: "Please sit down."
Waiting for everyone to sit down, Chu Nanzhi also went straight to the point and asked: "Erlang lives in the middle of the capital, so he should know a little about Zheng Huan, do you know where his current family members are?"
Yin Liuxuan squinted his eyes, thoughtfully replied: "This person's parents, wife, and young lady are still in the capital. I heard that after being transferred to Changning County, they took three concubines. They should still be in the county government."
"Although Zheng Huan was a bit reckless and rude, he has not been convicted yet. Besides, the disaster will not be as serious as his wife and children. He has to trouble Erlang's letter to his father and give more protection to his family."
After saying that, Chu Nanzhi looked at Hai Da'a again with a smile: "Boss Hai has all eyes and hands, so as not to be a lesson to others, the state capital prison still has to rely on your care, so don't let this person commit suicide in fear of crime. "
The corner of Haida's mouth raised a sinister smile, knowing that she was reminding the prefect of Funing County about Xing Huan, she nodded quickly: "Princess, don't worry, as long as Your Highness doesn't let this Zheng Huan die, this old slave will definitely let him die." Live well in prison."
"very good."
After explaining the matter, Chu Nanzhi told the two to go out with peace of mind, and his eyes slowly turned to Li Ce and his wife.
