Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 765 Judgment of Kings (Part 1)

At dawn, while Gao Guiying was waiting for Zhang Shun to wash up, he frequently turned back to examine the woman next to him.

Zeng Yurou had already changed out of the ugly dark dress and put on an elegant coat and skirt.

Due to technical problems with dyes and cloth dyeing, in ancient times, simplicity and elegance were not considered as the beauty of modern Hanfu. On the contrary, more impactful colors such as bright red and purple were more noble.

Since Zeng Yurou is no longer Princess Tang, she has naturally given up many of her original clothes.

Gao Guiying knew Zhang Shun's abilities, and she never thought that Zeng could escape from his grasp.

But she was a little confused as to why the two of them were connected by a rope.

One end was tied around Zeng's right wrist, and the other was pinned to Zhang Shun's waist. In this way, Zeng seemed to be a slave held by Zhang Shun.

Could this be the interest between the two of them? Gao Guiying secretly whispered in his heart.

"Let's go!" Zhang Shun washed his face, took out the rope from his waist, held it in his hand, and shouted while holding Zeng's hand.

"Daddy...Daddy!" Gao Guiying always felt a little embarrassed when she shouted in front of this woman. She quickly asked, "What are you going to do today?"

"Let's interrogate those dragons and grandsons!" Zhang Shun responded as if he was going to drink tea, "They have been here for so long, they have done all the bad things, and there must be retribution in the end!"

Gao Guiying waited for a long time and found that Zhang Shun did not continue speaking, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Sometimes he would definitely say to himself in private, "Actually, these people are a little pitiful, but they were born in an emperor's family." The sun actually came out in the west today?

Not long after, Zhang Shun, Gao Guiying, and Zeng Yurou arrived outside the palace gate and saw a sea of ​​people outside, waiting for "King Shun" to come out.

As soon as Zhang Shun went out, Xiao Qinhu, Ren Guangrong, Ren Jirong, Wukong, Wang Jinyi and others who were maintaining discipline outside quickly saluted him.

Only then did all the people know that this was "King Shun", and they immediately became chaotic. Some people knelt down and kowtowed, and some shouted injustice.

Zhang Shun swaggered and sat behind a table of the Eight Immortals that had been set up. He patted the gavel tree and shouted loudly: "The palaces of the princes are entrenched in Nanyang, doing all kinds of evil and preying on the people. Now the rebels have come, defeated the officers and soldiers, and captured the city." "

"I intend to be a blue sky, do justice for heaven, and seek justice for everyone. Everyone has revenge and injustice. Who is willing to come forward to hear the trial?"

Everyone is good at watching the excitement, but they are timid when it comes to serious matters.

After a long while, a lame man limped up and shouted: "Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for me!"

"I want to sue the king of Xincheng for bullying others and taking ten acres of my water to irrigate my fields!"

"Who are you and what evidence is there? Submit it to the king for a look!" Zhang Shun asked with a majestic look.

"Uh... everyone calls me Sun Laizi, I don't have a name." The originally aggressive lame man couldn't help but hesitantly replied, "My family has been farming that land for two generations, and everyone in the country knows it!"

"That means there is no evidence?" Zhang Shun sneered.

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes!" Sun Laizi responded quickly, then turned around and shouted to the people watching, "Today, Sun Laizi is suing the King of New City, and I ask everyone to be my witnesses!"

"The people do not want to fight with the officials, let alone if the other party is a prince, Sun Lai Zi, don't get involved in your life!" As a result, everyone turned around and left after hearing this, and some even tried to persuade him.

Zhang Shunyi saw that things were not going well. Prince Zhu had accumulated power for a long time and the people were deeply afraid of him and did not dare to go against him.

He and Zhang Shenyan had done this kind of "Qingtian Master" business a lot in Shanxi before, so they were quite familiar with it.

He couldn't help being shocked and said: "Here, bring the new king out and confront him!"

Not long after, an old prince wearing loose clothes and a golden crown walked out swaggeringly.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but ask: "King Xincheng, Sun Laizi sued you for occupying ten acres of his family's irrigated farmland. Can you plead guilty?"

"Bah!" the New City King pointed with disdain, "You are a clown who has been crowned the king of monkeys. Where does he have the guts to judge me, the Prince of the Zhu family?"

"Not to mention you are a little thief, even the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would dare to judge me?"

"How dare you use it to water the fields and ask me, who is the poor one? My family lives in a beautifully decorated building, I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, I wear gold gongs and silks, and I drive in a BMW and a luxurious car. Who do you think you are?"

"I think this old prince doesn't know what north and south are. Come here, give him ten blows with the killing stick, and then drag him in for questioning!" Zhang Shun sneered, he was really stupid!

"How dare you, a thief?" King Xincheng shouted, but he was immediately restrained by three or five big men, who peeled off his pants and pushed him onto a stool, with his head facing Zhang Shun and his buttocks facing the crowd of onlookers.

"Wow, it's so white, like a woman!"

"How does he look like a mother-in-law? Look at his two black eggs!"

Sure enough, the Lower Third Road is the focus of attention of ignorant people. The king of Xincheng was so ashamed and angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "You damn rebellious ministers and traitors, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

"When the imperial army arrives, I will definitely find ten big men to kill you... ah!"

The king of Xincheng was furious when the executioner struck him down with a stick, and he immediately started crying for his father and mother.

This new king of the city used to be so proud, how could he endure such suffering?

Immediately he begged: "Grandpa, have mercy on me, grandpa have mercy on me! I just give him water to irrigate the fields. Please don't fight!"

"My body is weak and I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"

Zhang Shun had no expression on his face until the soldiers finished beating the boards and dragged the King of New City up with his buttocks smashed. Then he sneered and said, "I know everything, how can I believe your words?"

"You said that the water that irrigates the fields is his, then it belongs to him? Then wouldn't this king be a person who only surrenders to defeat?"

"Ah?" King Xincheng was so frightened that he quickly begged, "No, I really remembered that I did occupy those ten acres of irrigated land, and I would rather give it back to him!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but frowned, how could this be judged? There is no proof, how can you be so confused?

Zeng Yurou saw his hesitation and reminded in a low voice: "Since the founding of the country, the population has been sparse, so land reclamation has been encouraged."

"Over and over again, after several generations of management, the wasteland has turned into fertile farmland, but it has not been included in the fish scale list. In the name of insufficient food, some princes requested the court to allocate part of the wasteland to the princes for reclamation. In fact, they usurped the mature fields of the nearby people!"

Good guy, there is a "ghost" in the palace, Zhang Shun couldn't help but understand.

Ten acres of water to irrigate a field is nothing, it may not be worth a meal to the new king of the city.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't lie to me, Sun Laizi. Is the water you irrigate the fields obtained by generations of people clearing wasteland, and it has never been registered?"

"King Xincheng, tell me, did you use the name of the wasteland to irrigate the fields and get it under the name of the palace?"
