V3.Chapter 36

In the Golden Throne Hall, the ministers were stunned and silent.

On the seat of the regent, a step away from the dragon chair, Yan Jiuchao's face was calm, as if the person who had just given the order to cut in half was not himself.

The ministers broke out in cold sweat, not because they were afraid that Yan Jiuchao would cut everyone in the courtroom in half, but they really did not expect that the regent, who was not doing his job properly and chasing ducks on the shelves, would really start to intervene. Their court, and as soon as they asked, gave them a thunderous blow.

The ministers whispered secretly, is it enough to praise you all day long to meet your needs? How are you going to scare us?

However, after whispering, not a single minister spoke out to stop him when Yan Jiuchao ordered Ma Shilang to cut in half.

too fast!

Yan Jiuchao gave an order, and the master named Ying Shisan beside him dragged him out and cut him off with a sword!

They are still digesting the meaning of cutting in half! ! !

But then again, should this Ma Shilang be sentenced to capital punishment?

This time, we have to start with the Cangzhou flood a few months ago. Cangzhou is located in the southwest of Dazhou. The soil is fertile and there are many fertile fields. Many grains in the Dazhou Dynasty were produced in Cangzhou.

This summer, Cangzhou was hit by floods, dams burst, flooded hundreds of hectares of fertile farmland villages, and the victims were displaced. Cangzhou suffered heavy losses. The imperial court issued relief funds immediately.

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Disaster relief has never been clean in all dynasties. Just seeing how unclean it is, if you only greedy half of it, you will be called a conscientious official. This time, responsible The disaster relief bureaucracy has gone too far.

Because of the need to settle down and repair the river embankment, the ministry also participated this time, but it was mainly the household department.

As the newly appointed servant of the household and the cousin of the queen, Mr. Ma was in charge of the relief work without much suspense. Mr. Ma went to Cangzhou in person, and when the people heard that the officials of the capital came to the disaster area in person, He thought he was a good man for the country and the people, but as a result, the Cangzhou government was completely corrupted, and almost all the money for disaster relief went to his own pockets.

It is not uncommon for the common people to eat vegetable and leaf porridge mixed with sand. What is even more exaggerated is that the Cangzhou government has openly robbed civilian girls for the enjoyment of Mr. Ma.

Is it still an official to do such a shameless thing?

There was more than one girl who was harmed. At first, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to say anything. Later, I don’t know who dared to jump out and go to the Cangzhou government to ask for an explanation. As a result, something happened that night. Suppression, who believes?

The man's family was also in turmoil. Since the Cangzhou government couldn't sue, they went to the capital, but the man was stopped halfway.

Of course, paper can’t hold fire, and there were not only people from the Ministry of Household, but also several officials from the Ministry of Industry who went to Cangzhou. Some of those officials were honest and upright. After returning to Beijing, they euphemistically reported the matter to the court .

The reason why the report was euphemistically was because Mr. Ma was the queen's cousin. They were upright and honest, but they had to save their lives first.

In fact, Yan Huaijing also knew more or less about this matter. After the honest and upright official returned to Beijing, he did not explicitly say that Mr. Ma was full of private pockets and fished the common people. He only said that the disaster in Cangzhou was still going on. Let the court see if there are any There is no better way.

Yan Huaijing's initial thought was similar to Yan Jiuchao's, severely punishing all those involved, especially the Ma Shilang, who was determined not to tolerate it.

The disaster has already happened, even killing everyone will not help, it is better to push this matter to the queen, not only sell the queen's favor, but also hold the queen's handle. Of course, the queen must compensate those girls who are hurt The money for disaster relief must be replenished as soon as possible.

Although he was a little repulsive, after weighing the pros and cons, he still followed the method of his staff.

He knew very well that the reason why the father pushed the queen and him to the court was to make the two of them stand against each other. If he really used this incident to cut off the queen's wings, the queen would fall, but the father may not feel comfortable.

After all, what he fears is not the queen, but the father.

He didn't know exactly how the queen told Mr. Ma. He only knew that Cangzhou had indeed received a disaster relief fund. Although it was not the same as the amount allocated by the imperial court, it did relieve a burning need. As for being harmed by Shilang Ma It is said that the family of the girl who passed by has also received a huge amount of compensation.

Every time Yan Huaijing saw Ma Shilang in the courtroom, he wanted to slash him with a sword, but he always had scruples.

What he didn't have the guts to do was done by Yan Jiuchao...

To be honest, he didn't even know how Yan Jiuchao knew about these things?

He had already heard about Yan Jiuchao's urination. Every day he was either showing off himself or showing off himself, and let the civil and military officials line up to flatter him. promotion.

what is this? Properly stupid! Country worms!

Will he care about the safety of the common people? Will he care about the stability of the country? He didn't even go to ask the people's favor?

So again, how did he know about it? Who is not so afraid of death, when a bunch of people flattered him, handed him a transcript of the disaster in Cangzhou?

How could Yan Huaijing have guessed that no one gave Yan Jiuchao the book, it was Yan Jiuchao who heard about it!

On their way back to the capital from Nanzhao, they walked by water and found that this year's river seemed to be wider than before. After inquiring, they found out that there was a flood in Cangzhou not long ago.

Yan Jiuchao directly asked the navy to walk across the Cangzhou River, and Yu Wan stayed in the wing to raise a baby without knowing it, but Yan Jiuchao walked down the river and walked along the starving village.

He stood on the bow all night.

After returning to Beijing, why did he go to see the emperor, and why was he willing to offer medicine for the emperor? Is it really uncle and nephew? Do you really want a regent to come to Dangdang, is it really to be angry with Yan Huaijing?

Ying Six and Ying Thirteen had collected all the evidence last night and made a long list, and not a single official who was also involved in the case was spared.

Ma Shilang's crimes are too numerous to list, especially when they wrote about the age of the third daughter of the He family, they were so angry that their hearts would explode.

Ying Shisan's sword was smeared with salt.

He wiped it himself.

A sword slashed, and Ma Shilang was in so much pain that he lost half of his life.

The officials were so scared that their faces turned pale, and some people subconsciously closed their eyes.

"Don't close your eyes." Yan Jiuchao said coldly.

...

This is the most miserable time for the ministers to go up to the top. They were forced to witness the whole process of the beheading, and they were also punished for half a year's salary for the crime of not knowing.

What law does not blame the public does not exist here in the Yan Jiu Dynasty.
