Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 35 Ling Changfeng's Punishment

A question from Xiaolan interrupted Ling Changfeng's contemplation. He, who was always decisive, seemed a little hesitant at the moment. Although Zhu Jin's one-sided words alone could not make up for his crime, he was severely punished for it. For him, I am afraid that it is not what everyone wants.

County Magistrate Qin lost his mind for a while, showing hesitation, and looked sideways at Ling Changfeng. Although he didn't say anything, it could be seen from his expression that he was waiting for Ling Changfeng's decision.Presumably, in the heart of County Magistrate Qin, he did not wish that the officials who had worked in the same government office for more than ten years would now take their lives for this murderer.

Zhu Jin also looked a little nervous at the moment. Even though he didn't regret what he did in his heart, if he was sentenced to a heavy sentence, he might be left alone in the world with no one to rely on.Thinking of this, I felt sorry for the little girl in my heart.

Ling Changfeng pondered for a while, and said: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of law and the rule of etiquette have always been the foundation of punishing crimes. Virtue and etiquette are the foundation of politics and religion, and punishment is the purpose of politics and religion. Qin county magistrate, just need to confirm this. If what Jin said is true, I think that although he killed the suspect in prison and blocked the investigation of the clues of the case, the root cause is that he has a sincere heart, which is caused by his father's love, coupled with the fact that he was raped. Deception is the reason for making such a big mistake!"

"People say: Those who don't know are not guilty. Now it is enough to punish them a little, and there is no need to go to war. As long as they know their mistakes and can correct them, this is the essence of my Tang law. If you are still obsessed, you must be punished twice! That's it! , What do you think, County Magistrate Qin?" Ling Changfeng calmly expressed the sentence in his heart.

Qin County Magistrate was naturally overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Ling said it is true! All the patrols and listeners, put Zhu Jin in prison for now, and immediately go to find out whether what he said is true! If If it is true, he will be punished with twenty battles and half a month's salary!"

Standing behind Ling Changfeng, Xiaolan was naturally satisfied with the punishment. She swallowed her pleading words and just nodded with a smile.

After hearing the judgment, everyone was overjoyed.That Zhu Jin couldn't help but bowed to the two adults in the high hall to thank him again and again.At the end, he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Lord Ling and Lord Qin, for not killing me. I, Zhu Jin, will definitely abide by the law and repay the two adults. But what I said just now is indeed true. I am very grateful to the one who ordered me to kill someone." The man in black doesn't have any clues. Please two adults check it out."

Ling Changfeng nodded, and said to him: "You don't have to worry too much, I already know about the man in black. After you are punished, you must serve the court well." After finishing speaking, he looked aside and waited for others The magistrate of Qin ordered, and then said: "Master Qin, I'm going to rest in the guest room. I'll leave it to you to handle it here."

Without waiting for County Magistrate Qin to reply, he pulled the red-eyed, but happy-faced Xiaolan and left the lobby straight away.Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ling Changfeng naturally knew that Xiaolan's parents had disappeared since she was a child, and without the company of her parents, she must be worried about Zhu Jin's daughter at this moment.He definitely won't punish Zhu Jin severely.

Touching Xiaolan's head, Ling Changfeng said softly: "You little girl, you had a worried expression just now! Young master, I have been extremely tolerant of Zhu Jin, so you are happy now."

Xiaolan looked at Ling Changfeng with a smile, and said, "Thank you, young master! You have worked hard, young master. I will loosen your muscles and bones later." After speaking, she made a gesture to pull Ling Changfeng loose.

"Uh... Next time, I seem to have something else to do. Remember what you promised me, keep an eye on that person." When Ling Changfeng thought of the scene of Xiaolan killing the assassin in an instant, he felt hairy and hurriedly refused. Received Xiaolan's warm hospitality.

"Hmph, young master, you really don't know your blessings. Look at Xiaoyu, enjoy my massage more. Right, Xiaoyu?" Xiaolan trampled on Xiaoyu's chubby body with both hands, and said suspiciously: "Xiaoyu, you Tiantian, what is delicious to eat? Why is it like blowing up a balloon. Is this little dried fish so delicious?"

"Meow, meow, meow," Xiaoyu said with a face of resistance.Ling Changfeng clearly saw helplessness in its expression, presumably it also wanted to get rid of these delicate claws.

. . .

In a dimly lit house, even though the sun is shining brightly outside at this moment, it is still difficult to discern objects in the house.It can only be vaguely seen that this is a study room.

In the study room, several men in black clothes were standing at the moment.Opposite them sat a thin man, his whole face was buried in the shadows at the moment, and he couldn't tell his real face for a moment.It seemed that they were arguing about the removal of the mummy, presumably this was the gang that killed Mr. Wang.

"My lord, it was originally planned to transport the mummy out of Luoyang City in another seven days. Why should we reschedule now? I am afraid that the production of the mummy was not perfect at that time. Besides, the smell of rosin could not be eliminated in such a short time. I am afraid luck It would be risky to go out." One of the standing men in black said in a deep voice.

The thin man pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to follow the plan, but now the court is about to find out the location of the mummy, and things will change over time. Besides, we don't know what they found on the Dark Leaf Group." What a secret."

Hearing the words, the man in black said in a low voice: "My lord, please rest assured that the Dark Leaf Group will definitely keep their mouths shut. The man said that he has found out some things. I am afraid that he is trying to save face. In fact, it is just nonsense."

"Hmph, didn't you say that even if you are captured by the enemy, you can fulfill yourself and return to Xuemother's embrace? Why were you captured alive, and even put in prison? If I didn't use the hidden tricks I planted, I'm afraid we Now I'm wearing a prison uniform, waiting to be beheaded. Well, I've made up my mind, and when the time is right, I'll take the opportunity to transport the corpse out of the city. I've already arranged the internal response in the city gate, and this matter can only be successful. , don’t fail! Otherwise, we’ll all return to the Godmother’s place!”

"Yes, my lord!" Although the man in black was suspicious of his caution, he still followed the order.After all, in this Tang Dynasty now, his leader is this person.

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go back. Take care of the corpse and don't make any more troubles. As long as this matter is completed, this great river and mountain of Tang Dynasty will be ours!" The thin man whispered Said, with a slight red light in his eyes.

After the men in black went out, the thin man showed a strange smile and muttered to himself: "Now that I have been lurking here for more than ten years, I really can't bear to part with the prosperity of this prosperous age, hehehehe, just wait and see, I Will be back again."
