Chapter 22: 2 murders

Emperor, nobles, eunuchs, officials, common people...

Thousands of people, hundreds of pairs of eyes, all stared at Wei Heng.

Hope, admiration, pity, indifference, hatred, gloating...

Countless emotions formed a mountain of pressure, but they did not affect Wei Heng's reading of the charges at all.

"Crime twenty-nine, allowing slaves to commit crimes! Wang Er, Li Si and other slaves molested Zhang Li during the day, killed their husbands, and hid in the Marquis's Mansion without leaving!"

This case happened just a few months ago. The widow Zhang Li cried and begged Your Majesty to avenge her husband.

Emperor Jianwu's eyes were dark, and he looked at Wei Heng with a little more admiration. He had investigated so many criminal evidences with his seventh-grade official position, and he was upright and capable.

"For the time being, I can stay in the prince's residence for a while."

The charges against Marquis Weiyuan are very close to one another without any investigation, and they can be regarded as extremely heinous.

However, Marquis Weiyuan was loyal to Emperor Jianwu. He could not only lead troops in battles, but also was a key figure in the balance between civil and military affairs. He would still be the arm of the new emperor in the future.

Corruption and murder are nothing more than a disease of delicacy!

From the day Emperor Jianwu ascended the throne, he believed that all officials inside and outside the court were greedy. Even if they were not greedy for money, they would be greedy for power and fame.

That is to say, everyone in the world is greedy, choose those who are capable and use them!

At present, Weiyuan Marquis is very useful, but if he is not useful in the future, there will be enough reasons to kill the nine tribes.

All the corrupt money must be returned!

Emperor Jianwu had a second consideration. A few days ago, he dismissed the Minister of Rites and punished the Jiangnan family. Today, he took the opportunity to punish Weiyuan Hou and punish Wu Xun.

The Emperor's Balance Technique is not only about balancing forces, but also about controlling things from left to right.

"The crime is thirty. He secretly concealed twenty-four pieces of heavy armor with the intention of treason..."

After hearing the last charge, the angry, hateful and powerless people all showed excited expressions.

The imperial court was not allowed to use swords and was extremely careful about heavy armor. There was a popular saying among the people that "one armor is worth three crossbows, and three armors can enter the underworld."

Wei Heng deliberately talked about the number of heavy armors, and there are also allusions in it.

It is said that the ancestor of Daqian Sheng was originally a merchant. He was extorted by the officials of the previous dynasty and was forced to rebel. At first, he cast twenty-four heavy armors.

Based on this, we overthrew the previous dynasty and established the Great Qian Dynasty.

In order to promote the holy ancestor, the imperial court specially wrote several plays, which the common people have heard and read.

Li Ping'an frowned and protected everyone in front of him.

"There are some melons, you can't eat them casually!"

Taking advantage of the imperial guards' lack of attention, he retreated again and again, slid along the wall to the corner, and quickened his pace to run back to the mortuary.

Above Luan Jia.

Emperor Jianwu's face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and he no longer had the previous calm expression.

The previous twenty-nine charges were nothing in the eyes of Emperor Jianwu, so the Zhenfu Department and the Criminal Department made more noise in investigating the case, and showed the common people that they were a wise king and a saint.

Just capture a few unimportant officials and kill a few servants, and you'll get over it.

After this case, Weiyuan Hou's reputation became infamous. If he wanted to continue to be in charge of the army, he would be more loyal and obedient than before.

Emperor Jianwu had led the army for nearly fifty years and had been on the throne for thirty-eight years. His political skills had long been proficient. In the moment when Wei Heng complained, he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Beating the martial arts will not lose the sage, and it can also find a humerus for the prince.

However, the thirtieth crime was concealing heavy armor, and all plans fell through.

Emperor Jianwu must severely punish Weiyuan Hou, not because he is really afraid of his rebellion. As the founding king, he is not afraid of twenty-four heavy armors, not to mention ten or a hundred times more.

The fundamental reason is that Weiyuan Hou transgressed, was disobedient, and did not understand the rules!

"Wei Qing, are these charges true?"

"The thirty deadly sins, the evidence is conclusive."

Wei Heng raised his head and looked directly at the emperor, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I know that my crime deserves death, and I only ask that your majesty eradicate the national traitors!"

"good!"

Emperor Jianwu spoke the word "good" through his teeth and ordered: "I will ask the Zhenfu Division to arrest Marquis Weiyuan. After the charges are found out, he will be punished according to law."

"My Holy Emperor!"

Wei Heng kowtowed and shouted, and the people kowtowed after hearing the words, shouting long live the mountain.

The emperor is indeed good, everything is the fault of the traitor!

Emperor Jianwu waved his hand, and the imperial army immediately stepped forward and took Wei Heng and the suffering masters into custody.

at this time.

The eyes of the officials and the people were all on Wei Heng, thinking that this man was really upright and if he could survive the disaster, he would definitely be a pillar of the country in the future.

Several figures suddenly jumped up from the crowd, surrounded Luan Jia from all sides, and sprayed hidden weapons all over the sky.

The old eunuch's eyes never left His Majesty for even a moment. He spotted the assassin first and screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Escort, escort!"

Emperor Jianwu looked calm and waved his hand to catch the old eunuch in front of him.

Puff puff!

Dozens of hidden weapons penetrated the body, and the old eunuch's face instantly turned black and purple. He died without even letting out a scream. It was obvious that the hidden weapons were poisoned.

The assassins were all strong martial arts masters. They could leap several feet in the air and reach Luan Jia in just two or three breaths.

A wave of sneak attacks with hidden weapons killed most of the attendants, while the rest tried their best to stop the assassin.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Guards shouted loudly and swarmed towards Luan Jia.

At this time, another change occurred among the people. Many strong men emerged, tearing open their sleeves to reveal a yellow scarf with the word "Wei" embroidered on it. They hugged the imperial guards in groups of three or five.

He took out a short knife and dagger and stabbed it randomly in the neck and chest.

Intentionally calculating but not intentionally, the Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties.

After obstructing the Imperial Army, the Yellow Turban men began to kill innocent people, deliberately creating panic and chaos.

For a while, there were screams and blood splattered.

Ordinary people had never experienced such a scene. They screamed and ran in all directions, scattering the imperial troops who came to escort them. They were unable to support them for a short time.

at this time.

The assassin had already killed all the remaining servants and was only three or four feet away from Emperor Jianwu. He could clearly see the wrinkles on his face and the white hair on his temples.

"Those who betray their ancestors should be punished!"

The leader of the assassin let out a long roar, his hands grew fish scales, his nails swelled by half a foot, and they cut through the air with a stinging sound. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

Emperor Jianwu didn't have any fear, only sarcasm and ridicule on his face.

"Dragon Scale Guards, rebels against the puppet government... rats from the stinking ditch will be able to conspire when they mix together!"

Before he finished speaking, there was an old man in purple robe beside him, it was Duke Chu of Dongchang.

Pushing both hands horizontally, the true energy surged out like a tide, turning into translucent glass to cover Emperor Jianwu. The true energy shot out with ten fingers, accurately penetrating the heads of all assassins.

Emperor Jianwu ordered: "They are all stubborn people, there is no need to keep them alive."

"As commanded."

Duke Chu punched out his majestic energy, blasting the Dragon Claw assassin to pieces, and the blood rain stained the white horse pulling the cart red.

Emperor Jianwu had been fighting in the north and south for more than ten years, and he had experienced many armies fighting. Some small scenes were nothing, so he waved to the shops on the left and right.

As soon as the window opened, the Imperial Guards who had been hiding inside were ready to shoot at the crowd on the street with their bows and arrows.

The Yellow Turban Army and innocent people fell to the ground in droves.

Narrow streets, jammed crowds, and dense rain of arrows left no chance of escape. The corpses were piled up into mountains.

He shot six or seven rounds of arrows in succession.

There were few people alive on the street. Occasionally, wailing sounds could be heard, which immediately attracted people shooting.

After a while, Qianyuan Street returned to silence.

Emperor Jianwu glanced at the corpses all over the ground with cold eyes. Blood flowed and dyed the ground red, mixed with flowers scattered on the ground, like a huge red carpet embroidered with flowers.

"Keep patrolling."

Emperor Jianwu gave an order, and the officials and imperial guards who were still alive immediately lined up in order.

Duke Du of Chu acted as the driver and shook the reins.

The red horse stepped on the sticky blood, step by step, and continued to carry His Majesty around the capital to enjoy the people.
