Red makeup Chitose

Chapter 94
"Come on, let it go." Tao Jianxian waved his hand and asked the officer to give Yan Shen the key.

When the officials took Yan Shenshou out of the prison, the latter was already unable to walk at all because of the swollen lower body. He could only crawl on the ground, with pus oozing from his rotten skin.

"Send him back in a carriage." Tao Jianxian said calmly, and added, "Also, send some officials to monitor him, lest he plan to report on this officer again, which would be shameless."

The official took the order and took Yan Shenshou down. Tao Jianxian watched the backs of several people disappear. He knelt down and reached out to grab the water in the water prison. Smelly water stains.

This is not ordinary water, but golden juice.

The wound after torture was soaked in golden juice for a long time, even if it was released now, the wound would still be infected, and time was running out.

"I'm sorry, Yan Zhe, the former censor."

Tao Jianxian tilted his palm slightly, water spilled on the ground like a libation for the dead.

In the capital city of Wu State, Jinling, palace lanterns flickered in the dark night, creaking and moaning half-deadly.

In the palace, at the entrance of the imperial study room, Xu Qi looked at the lights in the room, and the dark guards on both sides, his fingertips holding the memorial inevitably tightened again.

Squeak, the door opened, the eunuch Shang Ji came out, and bowed to Xu Qi: "Master Xu, please."

Xu Qi's eyes brightened slightly, bowed forward, withdrew the wrench from his hand, and quickly stuffed it into Shang Ji's arms: "Thank you, Mr. Shang."

"Our family is just a small follower, so I can't be such an adult." Shangji skillfully put away his fingers, glanced at the imperial study room, and lowered his back two points: "...Master Xu, congratulations, I hope you will become famous after you become famous." , adults don’t remember villains.”

Xu Qi's back was lowered by another three points, and he forced his head to pass Shang Ji's hand: "Master Ma supervised the beheading at the beginning, it was ordered, and Master Ma dealt with it impartially, so what's wrong with it? Now that the rain is over and the sky is clear, everyone is happy. Of course I will be dismissed." No more calculations."

Shangji smiled: "Father often said that going to hell is a blessing or a disaster for Mr. Xu. It will make Mr. Xu a different person, and the future will be bright, and the blessing will be in the future."

Shangji glanced at his fingers from the corner of his eye, the emerald green was like washing, and the color of orange was the same, it was the best.

His smile grew stronger, and he took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Qi: "Father often taught our family that the benefits come from you and me, so that it lasts for a long time. This is the letter from Feige that I just received. , let it be considered as a return gift from foster father and our family...Okay, Mr. Xu, please go in quickly, Master Hou may have to wait in a hurry."

Xu Qi bowed and said yes, took a few deep breaths, straightened his official hat, dusted off his official robe, and stepped into the imperial study.

The door closed behind him, and the study was very quiet. He could hear the slight sound of someone flipping the pages of a book by the ivory jade desk. Xu Qi didn't dare to lift his head. Step on the old official boots, step by step to the jade table.

"Chen, Xu Qi, the censor, pays homage to Lord Hou."

Xu Qi fell to his knees with a plop, his forehead touched the red velvet carpet of the tribute, not cold, but his heart felt like a knife's edge, and felt chills.

The person sitting in the imperial study room is not the king of Wu, but a prince, but he is the real master of the country.

"Everyone has been killed?" The male voice from the side of the jade table was extremely gentle.

If it weren't for the shocking meaning in the words, it would be almost like chatting under the lamp, and the old people sat opposite each other.

"130 and six people, please have a look at it, Lord Hou." Xu Qi took out a list, took a few steps on his knees respectfully, raised his hands above his head, and presented the list.

The man at the jade case took the list and said softly, "It's Lu Xingshan's list of good people who are sold. It contains the children's names, places of origin, and close relatives...so you handled the 130 six close relatives alone?"

At the end of the sentence, Xu Qi broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Master Hou Rong, it was Tao Jianxian who helped me deal with it and helped me."

Xu Qi didn't dare to hide it, Habayashi Wei, as a vicious dog of the royal family, penetrates everywhere and knows everything, not to mention that he is facing the real master of the Wu Kingdom, if he conceals anything today, he will dig his own grave.

"Tao Jianxian?" The man seemed to be meditating as he read the name.

"The minister himself confirmed that all 130 and six people were killed...except Zhou Jintao's family..." Xu Qi glanced at the man cautiously, seeing that the latter was fine, Fang continued.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. From now on, no one in the world will know about the fact that he has been doing good deeds, selling good people and intentionally mutilating them. They will be taken to the grave forever."

"Zhou Jintao is protected by Su Luoying, so he won't kill his family, that's right." The man nodded, and Xu Qi felt relieved.

Then both fell into a moment of silence.

The candles in the imperial study room are warm, and the world is peaceful. The invisible corpses are everywhere, and the blood flows into the sea.

Was taken lightly.

Moreover, the traces of being erased will never be known.

The evening wind came under the green screen window, blowing the glazed palace lanterns to flicker, the firelight swayed in the bottom of Qian Jin's eyes, without splashing a single wave, only the scars on his face cast shadows one after another in the firelight.

The reason why Jin Mingwei was able to overthrow the road and do good deeds in that way was because she had key evidence in hand. This was her confidence and a way out.

Of course, not many people know about this.

But in the future, no one will get key evidence.

In this case, 130 people and 42 close relatives of the children have all been silenced.

If anyone thinks about it in the future and wants to expose Lu Xingshan's real sin, there is no evidence and he can be convicted according to the law.

In other cases, no one will know that Jin Mingwei dared to use the method because he had key evidence in his hand, because he was dead and there was no proof.

If someone learns Jin Mingwei's method and exposes the sins of other officials, they will learn something out of nothing and simply incite the people, and they can be convicted according to the law.

Lu Xingshan's crime was "framing the common people and violating the will of the people", and this will always be the case.

……

"I've heard that Habayashi Wei reported back. Half of the Bian are shouting for their lives. It's really spectacular." Qian Jin put down the scroll and said softly, "Jin Mingwei is right. The most important force in the officialdom is public opinion. .”

Qian Jin smiled inexplicably: "So how could the government allow the common people to have such power?"

"Hou Ye is wise, there will be no second Jin Mingwei." Xu Qi's heart went cold and hot, and he struggled frantically, but eventually turned into stagnant water.

Qian Jin stepped down from the jade case and helped Xu Qi up personally: "Xu Aiqing, you have done a great job... what do you want?"

Xu Qi got up in panic, bent down and took out the booklet: "Please allow me, Lord Hou."

Qian Jin took it, opened it, looked at it, and looked up "Criminal Code Volume III No. 40 Three Revisions", which is the law of Wu State on trafficking in good people. The articles are revised as follows:
Those who traffic in good people, the buyer, are as guilty as the seller.

Those who have been traffickers under 15 years, the crime is doubled.

Selling and marrying as wives, sons, and successors, yellow registration is not recorded, and the household registration is invalid.

……

Black and white, every sentence is sonorous, it is a newly revised law, a law that has been proposed 42 times by people of insight in the state of Wu, but has never been passed.

　This book is more like a bureaucratic essay than a political essay, Ah Zhen thinks it himself, personal opinion, just follow the circumstances.
