My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 120 Fang Xiaoru's disciple

More than 40 years old, 20 years of ups and downs in the officialdom... the rest of my life, and even leaving a name in history in the future, all depends on today.

Huang Xiaoru got up proudly, and walked out.

He didn't even look back, without hesitation.

Xu Jingchang also stood up and walked forward. Xie Jin followed behind half a body away. He whispered, "Mr. Ding, can he sing this big show?"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Bachelor Xie, you have to believe in the heart of a 40-year-old man, if he doesn't sing, he's already a blockbuster!"

Xie Jin's eyes widened, he was stunned for a while, thinking of himself, he no longer dared to doubt, and hurriedly followed.

Huang Xiaoru sat in the middle, and Xu Jingchang sat on the left.

Xie Jin was sitting on his right. He spread out the rice paper and held a brush in his hand, ready to record at any time.

Above the lobby, the posture has already been set.

Outside the lobby, extending all the way to the street, has been filled with crowds of people.

The patriarchal vassals, nobles of the current dynasty, and the common people who heard the news, all looked forward to it, and their fiery eyes all fell on the presiding judge Huang Xiaoru.

He is like the point where the lens focuses the light, the temperature rises, the heat rises.

It's smoking, it's on fire, and it won't work if you don't do something about it.

Huang Xiaoru, this time is ten thousand times more important than the imperial examinations in the past!

He suddenly reached out, grabbed the gavel, and slapped it down hard.

"Take the prisoner!"

With his order, Jin Yiwei escorted Yu Shiji, Yu Shiji of Qiandu, Yuan Fu, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Che Shu, He Yin and others from the outside of the lobby, straight into the lobby.

From this moment on, the contest will come.

Huang Xiaoru let the criminals pass among the common people, let them feel the anger of the common people, and experience the feeling of condemnation.Don't think that you are superior. In front of the raging public opinion, even officials who are several times higher than you are nothing but farts!

Facts have proved that this trick does work, and it is beyond imagination.

Yu Shiji's face was pale, his back was drenched in cold sweat, and his legs were useless.

If Jin Yiwei hadn't carried him, he wouldn't have been able to reach the lobby.

The same is true of the officials behind.

For the first time in so many years, they felt that ordinary people were so scary.

It took a quarter of an hour to pass through the crowd and reach the lobby.At this time, these people didn't have the slightest pretensions of being an official, and they fell to the ground one after another.

"The criminal pays his respects to His Excellency."

Huang Xiaoru was inexplicably excited, this group of people actually kowtowed to me, it's really inconceivable.

He pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Since you claim to be a criminal, what crime are you guilty of? Yu Shiji replied."

Yu Shiji is the censor of Zuoqian capital, and asking questions is also his old profession. He calmed down a little, and said: "Criminals who have sex with prostitutes insult the official style and live up to the holy grace. According to the law, they should be dismissed from office and will never be used. "

Huang Xiaoru smiled, "As expected of a member of the Procuratorate, he just understands the laws of the Ming Dynasty. But I don't understand...how do you think you are a prostitute?"

Yu Shiji was taken aback, "Tang Zun, looking for pleasure, drinking and courting prostitutes, is insulting to officials, is there any doubt about this matter?"

"Naturally." Huang Xiaoru sneered, "The so-called sex with prostitutes must go to a happy household designated by the imperial court, so it is considered sex with prostitutes. But if it is a woman from a good family, it is forcing her into prostitution."

Yu Shiji immediately said: "Lord Tangzun, you are embarrassing people. The criminal occasionally went to the brothel, gave money, and found a girl. Should I first ask her if she is a Lehu? If not, let her leave , replace it separately? It seems that there is no such reason!"

Huang Xiaoru smiled and said: "Yu Shiji, you are really eloquent, but I want to ask you, is the place you went to a brothel?"

Yu Shiji's face changed slightly, but he still said calmly: "Although I didn't go to the Lehu Brothel on the Qinhuai River, it's not uncommon for some prostitutes to be in such a big Yingtian. Criminals only go there occasionally and don't know about it."

Huang Xiaoru nodded, then looked at the others, "Are you saying the same thing as Yu Shiji?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't say they didn't go. If they wanted to lose their posts, they could only accept their fate.

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, Huang Xiaoru said to Xu Dianli again: "Take them to the next room first."

Xu Dianli complied, and then Huang Xiaoru said: "Bring up the owner of the prostitute."

This time, there was no need to pass through the crowd, and a middle-aged woman was quickly brought up.

Her surname is Hua, and she had a nickname in the early years, Peony.Later, when I got older, I started this business again, so I got a nickname, Hua Da Chong.

"This is the statement obtained by the officer. There are 37 girls in your house, 28 of whom are from good families and not from happy families. Do you know this?"

Hua Da Chong is tricky and pungent, he treats his girls mercilessly, even more ruthless than a tigress.

But her prestige was useless when she reached the lobby, she was already trembling with fright.

"The women, the women know."

"Since you know, why do you force Liang to be a prostitute?"

"For... just to give them a bite to eat. To be honest, these years have been in turmoil. When they arrived in the capital, they also starved to death outside. The little woman took them in because she saw them pitiful... It's just that the little woman's family is poor. , I can’t just sit and eat. The big girl’s family has no other way but to rely on her face to make a living. Speaking of it, the big guy is also a pitiful person, and the little woman is guilty, guilty.”

As he spoke, the flower bug crawled on the hall, kowtowing non-stop.

When the case came to this point, everyone in the room was a little bit disappointed.

To mobilize the crowd, and to make such a big commotion, I thought I could find out something great... In the end, a few corrupt officials couldn't control their crotch, and came out to have fun.

A few ordinary women had no way out, so they could only come out to greet guests.

This kind of thing, not to mention that it happens every day, is commonplace, and there is nothing unusual about it.

It's time to be dismissed from office, it's time to kill the head... Maybe the flower bug doesn't have to die, it's really disappointing!

Outside the lobby, Lin San and his wife were also there.

Among them, Tang Sai'er even climbed up the tree branch, just to get a better look.

Seeing such a result, she was also lost, all poor people!
But at this moment, Huang Xiaoru suddenly slapped the table and said with a sneer: "Hua Da Chong, your words sound impeccable, but unfortunately, I have a list in my hand, which I found from you."

As he said that, Huang Xiaoru asked someone to bring up a booklet. He opened it casually and said with a sneer: "You have recorded the preferences of the officials in Beijing. Among them, Yu Shiji likes to talk about poetry, and He Yin likes ink paintings the most... The rest of the officials, no less. Hundreds of people. You have done a good business, and you have figured out the preferences of the court officials. Are you an ordinary poor person, just to make a living?"

Hua Da Chong's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat streamed down his temples.

"My lord was joking, but the little lady doesn't know. The little lady just wrote it casually." She looked flustered, lost her sense of proportion, and began to contradict herself.

Huang Xiaoru sneered and said: "Hua Da Chong, you have to be clear about raising women and seducing officials. With this booklet, I can convict you of treason. Let alone you, even your family members and subordinates , relatives and friends, no one who is involved in this case will be able to escape! As for you, have you ever heard of a thousand cuts? It means cutting your meat into pieces, and it will cost you [-] knives! "

Hearing this, Hua Da Chong couldn't hold back any longer, and wept bitterly, "My lord, spare me, spare my life! The little lady has been wronged!"

Huang Xiaoru immediately said: "This officer judges impartially, and I can't spare you! The only one who can save lives is yourself. Listen carefully, the Ming law contains clear texts. If you are ordered by others, you are an accessory, and you will be reduced from crime. If you perform meritorious service, you can still be forgiven.”

Huang Xiaoru said lightly: "I have inquired about it. You were just an ordinary brothel girl in the Qinhuai River more than ten years ago. You are not outstanding, but you can play the pipa well. Let you get so many girls, and you know the preferences of all officials. , you don’t have the ability. If that’s the case, why do you have to take the blame for others and trap yourself in it?”

Huang Xiaoru was persuasive and seductive, Hua Da Chong's eyes wandered, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it.

"My official is Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, who is currently the Governor of Jinyiwei."

Xu Jingchang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "If you can identify the criminals, I can arrest people now. And I will arrange people to protect your safety. With so many people watching, you can't die."

Xu Jingchang's flat words became the last barbell that broke the camel's back.

Hua Da Chong wept bitterly, "Little lady, the little lady is a prostitute under the orders of the Liao family."

"Which Liao family?" Huang Xiaoru asked subconsciously, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Sure enough, Hua Da Chong said in a low voice, "It's the Liao family of Marquis Deqing."

Liao Yongzhong!
It turned out to be his descendant.

Huang Xiaoru couldn't help but asked: "The Liao family is the family of a duke, and the founder of the country is honorable, so how can you do this kind of low-level business? You are clearly framing! You shameless woman, you must be severely punished for the crime of framing honorables. to you!"

"Little lady, no, no! That nobleman is Fang, Fang Xiaoru's student, and he even collected Fang Xiaoru's body!"

In a word, everyone in the audience was shocked, inside and outside the hall, inside and outside, they were all in shock... What?This case actually involved the family of the founding marquis, who was also Fang Xiaoru's protégé.

One must know that the four traitors that Zhu Di personally delineated are Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Fang Xiaoru and Chen Di. In this Ming Dynasty, there are still people who dare to collect Fang Xiaoru's body?
Moreover, Fang Xiaoru has a good reputation and is an upright person. How could his disciple do such a thing?

It was an ordinary case, but such a big story was asked, even Huang Xiaoru couldn't hold it anymore.

He turned his head to look at Xu Jingchang, his eyes full of pleading.

Ding Guogong, it's not that the humble official doesn't want to sing, but this play is beyond the outline, the humble official can't!

At this time Xu Jingchang also stood up, "Don't make a mess, everyone stand in place and don't step on it." Then Xu Jingchang took off the saber from his waist and said loudly, "Where is Qianhu Zhu Yong?"

"Humble job!" Zhu Yong stood up immediately.

Xu Jingchang handed the saber to him, "This is a gift from His Majesty. Now you bring together two hundred soldiers and arrest Liao Yong immediately. You must hurry, I will wait here!"

Zhu Yong nodded without any hesitation, "Please rest assured, Duke Ding, I will come back as soon as I leave my humble post."
