Chapter 312: Mad
Chapter 312 I'm so mad
With the trial of Bai Guogong's case, more and more officials were involved, including high-ranking officials and small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks. It is better to be passively involved, demoted or not dismissed from office. Most of those who opened the door to Duke Bai were exiled, and some were even beheaded.
Taikang Emperor's attitude was particularly tough this time, no one would be able to intercede, and of course, no one dared to intercede. This time things are different from the past, this is a blatant assassination, treason! Many people witnessed it with their own eyes. The emperor almost died. Who would dare to touch the emperor at this time? It's almost the same as hiding as far away as possible.
Bai Guogong is a very vile person, he bites like a mad dog, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was almost harassed by him, and the interrogation could not go on for a while. He didn't change his words even after using severe punishment, and even dragged the minister of the Ministry of punishment into the water, saying that he had accepted a bribe from him, and he even made things clear.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment has a hard time and can’t tell. It’s true that he took a small tripod from Bai Guogong, but it’s not for nothing. He gave the money, okay? It's obviously a purchase, so why is it accepting bribes?
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment knelt in the imperial study room, weeping everywhere, regretting so much that his intestines were green. He was also very fortunate that he asked Dali Temple for the matchmaker before, and Dali Temple resisted the pressure and refused to give it, otherwise, he would be speechless all over his body.
Emperor Taikang sat on the dragon chair, listening to the Minister of Criminal Justice's self-defense and pleading guilty, without any expression on his face. Fortunately, Emperor Taikang still trusted him, and the hidden guards also investigated. He really didn't know that the person behind Yao Yapo's case was Bai Guogong. Even so, fines and reflections are unavoidable, and one more thing, he has to withdraw from the interrogation.
Although Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was sorry, he also knew that this punishment was already the lightest, so he kowtowed and thanked him sincerely.
The assistant minister who intercepted Hu Wenjiuxiao from the official department was not so lucky. He had nothing to do with the Bai family, so why did he help Erye Bai find a good job at this juncture? He was also complacent and climbed up to the Duke of Bai's mansion, who would believe that if he disregarded the relationship now? Therefore, the servant minister was directly exiled by the whole family.
It doesn't matter if Bai Guogong did not confess his crime honestly, Wen Jiuxiao ordered Bai Runze and Bai Youfu to be brought over and executed in front of Bai Guogong. Amidst the screams of the two, Bai Guogong stared at Wen Jiuxiao with a pair of bloodshot muddy eyes.
Wen Jiuxiao raised his eyes casually, "Struggling is useless, why not recruit Bai Guogong as soon as possible, so as not to suffer from flesh and blood, but also to accumulate some merit for the younger generation."
His voice is low, which is even more creepy in the gloomy cell. As soon as he turned around, he raised his hand and pressed on Bai Runze's shoulder, right on the wound, the semi-conscious Bai Runze suddenly screamed.
Wen Jiuxiao shook his head slowly, with pity on his face, "Duke Bai, why did you come here?"
The iron chain on the torture frame shook violently, Bai Guogong spat out a mouthful of blood, and said through gritted teeth: "I want to see the emperor...I want to see the emperor!"
He was already hacked by He Xiaodie, but Wen Jiuxiao was afraid that he would not be able to last the interrogation, so he had someone give him medicine, and there was nothing more. His wound has already opened, as long as he doesn't die immediately, Wen Jiuxiao and others don't bother to care about him. At this moment, his body was already at the end of its strength, and the sound he made was like the roar of a trapped animal.
Wen Jiuxiao sneered, "It's just a traitor, do you think the emperor would be willing to see you?"
"Wen Jiuxiao, you avenge your private revenge, disregard human life, and kill innocent people indiscriminately. You will suffer retribution, and you will die a bad death." Bai Guogong almost gritted his teeth.
"I don't know if I will suffer retribution or not, but I know you will die a bad death." Wen Jiuxiao approached Bai Guogong, "I still carry it to this point, thinking that the emperor is really reluctant to kill you? Or are you waiting for someone to save you?" You?" He showed a mocking smile, "Are you waiting for news? The news of Bai Lin's escape, or the news of the mother and child in Elm Lane?" He said the last sentence extremely slowly.
Bai Guogong on the rack suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and met those smiling eyes.
He...he knew! No, no one will know, he is cheating him.
Wen Jiuxiao's voice was joyful, "It's said that the cunning rabbit has three caves, and Lord Bai is not going to give up! On the surface, there is only one seedling, and he has been raised into a dandy. Who would have thought that you have three other sons in secret, and the good eldest son is acting as a child? Foolish raising, is this your ability to hide your strengths and bide your time? Oh no, Bai Runze is not your eldest son, but Bai Lin. He is the eldest son you carefully cultivated, so you spare no effort to pave the way for him, and even send him into your family. Among the private soldiers of yours. Your youngest son is three years old, and he is cute, what a pity!"
It's a pity on his mouth, but his eyes are full of sarcasm, "With a father like you, these two are pitiful! No wonder you haven't asked for a son. It turns out that Mr. Fu is just a target. But, it's also thanks to you Taking precautions, let Mrs. Bai see your true face. Heh, what does it matter if you recruit or not?" Wen Jiuxiao took out a letter from his arms and waved it in front of his eyes, "It's familiar, right?" As the pillow person, Mrs. Bai is not ignorant of Bai Guogong's affairs, at least she knows his habit of hiding things.
Bai Guogong's pupils shrank sharply, and he stared at Wen Jiuxiao's hand, his face full of disbelief. When he saw the familiar handwriting on it, the chill shot up from the soles of his feet, and he let out a wailing piercing the clouds and cracking stones, "The foolish woman misunderstood me!" !"
The next moment, he was already stiff, with a pair of blood eyes staring straight ahead.
Bai Guogong was so angry that he was alive!
Walking out of the dungeon, I heard that the aura around Jiuxiao was still terribly cold.
Zhuo Zhengyang, who had been following him all the time, said hesitantly: "The emperor..."
"Death is dead, and the charge of assassination is not enough for him to die a thousand times?" As for the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, with these evidences in hand, they will not be able to hold on to them. Besides, people are so angry. , and it wasn't him who killed him, if you don't believe me, just find a coroner for an autopsy.
Xu Shi was afraid of hearing Jiuxiao's vicious name, neither the Ministry of Criminal Justice nor the Metropolitan Procuratorate had any doubts, and the three parties checked the evidence together, and the case was quickly closed.
Bai Guogong's crimes and punishment should be divided by Ling Chi, even if the person is dead, he will be shown to the public. The two eldest sons of Duke Bai, Bai Lin and Bai Runze, were also sentenced to death. Although Bai Youfu didn't get involved, he bribed the county magistrate of the place where he was exiled to replace him, adding to the crime, so continue to be exiled for another three thousand miles.
The entire Bai family was implicated. The second master Bai, who had just changed his post, was a compatriot with the Duke of Bai and his mother. Naturally, he also lost his life, and most of the rest were exiled. Bai Guogong's three-year-old child also went into exile with his biological mother, but he didn't know if he would survive to the place of exile.
When Mrs. Bai heard the news of her son's death, she didn't come up in one breath, and she was gone. And Bai Youfu, who was like a blood gourd, survived for two days, but he didn't make it through, and he was gone. Mrs. Bai stood beside her lifeless son, blankly, like a lifeless statue, committing suicide that night.
By the time the impact of the Bai Guogong case had completely dissipated in Beijing, it was already autumn, and the number of ministers in the court had decreased by a full 30%, which shows that the involvement was extensive.
