Chapter 414 The Emperor's Court
Emperor Tianqi took Yuan Keli and a few others and slowly walked down the stairs. He ignored the policemen and sat on the chairs in the lobby. Looking at the policemen up and down, Emperor Tianqi smiled helplessly.
It doesn't look like someone is arresting someone, but it looks like someone is being arrested.
After taking a sip from the tea cup on one side, Emperor Tianqi looked at several people with a smile and asked softly: "Which one of them is the leader? Come forward and stand up with someone who can speak. I have something to ask!"
Several people pushed and shoved for a long time, but no one stood up, and their legs began to tremble. Being a police officer is not useless to this point, but these guards are all elites in the army, and most of them have been killed.
People have seen blood. They were almost chopped down by the guards just now, and these detectives were frightened.
"If you didn't hear what our young master said, why don't you stand up and chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!" Chen Lin was not polite at all. He really wanted to chop these people into pieces and feed them to the dogs. There was actually a hint of emotion in his eyes when he spoke.
excited.
After taking a look at Chen Lin, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt that this guy was more suitable to be the governor of the East Factory. He was ruthless. But if he really let him do it, he would definitely be buried with him when he died.
Shaking his head gently and throwing away the thoughts in his mind, Emperor Tianqi looked at the leader who stood up and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid. I am a serious businessman and will not do anything to you. Now you
Tell me, what is going on?"
"Young Master, it's like this. We, the Master, have something to do, and we would like to ask you to come over. Of course. If Master is busy, we can also go to the Master, don't you think?" The head catcher who stood up looked at him.
Emperor Tianqi tried his best not to tremble and spoke in a humble manner.
In the eyes of these detectives, Emperor Tianqi was definitely not a serious businessman. How could a businessman bring so many guards? This is not Saibei, and besides, these people are not good people at first glance, and the knives in their hands are better than theirs.
How many times better.
Nodding in understanding, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "So that's how it is! In that case, I will go with you! After all, it is an invitation from the Palace Master, so it would be wrong if I don't go. Although I
It’s a matter of course, but you still have to give the prince’s face. Didn’t the ancients also say that you should give in at all costs?”
Yuan Keli and Dang Han had never seen Emperor Tianqi speak like this, and they couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
Several policemen couldn't help but clicked their tongues. This man's tone was really outrageous. You must know that the Yangzhou magistrate was a fourth-grade civil servant. At this time, that was already a very big deal, but this young master had nothing to do with him.
See it in your eyes. It is an honor for many people to associate with a fourth-grade magistrate. But now this young master actually said such words as "turning down the knot". I hope the governor will not kick him on the iron plate this time!
"Young master, you'd better not go on this matter. Let me go and meet the Yangzhou magistrate. I'm already very worthy of him!" Dang Han on the side stood up quickly, with a look of me and no one else on his face.
He said with pride in his voice.
Shaking his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said to Dang Han with a solemn face: "You can't do this. Although the seventh-grade officials in front of the prime minister's door, you are my son's subordinates, and it is more than enough to deal with a fourth-grade prefect, but this is Yangzhou.
, you can’t do that!”
"I sincerely follow the teachings of the young master!" Dang Han looked like he understood and bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi.
The expressions on the faces of the following few policemen were very impressive. They were seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister. But since this one felt that his followers were almost the same as the prefect of Yangzhou, he was really bragging! But looking at the postures around him, the young master said
It doesn't sound like a lie.
Standing up on the chair, Emperor Tianqi looked at several people with a smile and ordered: "Let's go! Let's go into your palace, don't make people wait for a long time!" After saying that, Emperor Tianqi took the lead and walked out,
There was a meaningful smile on his face.
Several of the detectives were startled, but their faces soon turned to ecstasy, and their hearts felt greatly relieved. Several of them were ready to return empty-handed, and they were afraid that they would be slapped by the Palace Master when they returned. Unexpectedly, things would turn out to be a turn of events.
.
There was not much time wasted on the way. Emperor Apocalypse was walking on the street shaking his paper fan, and Yuan Keli and others were following him. Several police officers were surrounded by guards, not like Emperor Apocalypse who they were escorting, but
It was as if they were being pressed down by the guards.
Emperor Tianqi walked into the lobby with a smile and asked Yuan Keli and the others to wait outside the door and stood in the lobby waiting for the Yangzhou Magistrate.
Not long ago, a civil servant wearing a fourth-grade official uniform appeared. He was not very old, in his forties. He had a mustache on his face. The most noticeable thing was that this gentleman’s cheekbones were larger than those of ordinary people.
Much higher. This makes it appear that his eyes are always squinted and he looks slightly sinister. This person should be the prefect of Yangzhou!
Behind the Yangzhou magistrate, followed an old man in his fifties. It seemed that this man should be the master of the magistrate's Yamen!
Sitting on the chair, the Yangzhou magistrate also looked at Emperor Tianqi up and down, reached out to pick up the gavel, slapped it hard, and shouted loudly: "You are so bold and unruly, why don't you kneel down when you see me?
"
Emperor Tianqi was slightly startled, what an impressive official power the Yangzhou magistrate! He glanced at the Yangzhou magistrate and said in a cold tone: "You are so small as the Yangzhou magistrate, but you still want me to kneel down? What a shameless statement!"
"You are a bold and cunning person. Selling smuggled salt is a capital crime. You are skinned and stuffed with straw. You dare to utter such arrogant words when you are about to die. You really deserve death!" Once again, the Yangzhou magistrate slapped the crowd hard and shouted loudly.
scolded.
Frowning slightly, Emperor Tianqi's eyes flashed coldly, and he immediately accused himself of selling smuggled salt. This Yangzhou magistrate is no longer stupid and incompetent. This is simply confusing right and wrong, and is tyrannical and immoral.
!
Looking at Yangzhou Magistrate coldly, Emperor Tianqi said in a somewhat solemn voice: "My lord, your crime deserves death? It seems inappropriate to say this, and it is even less appropriate to put it on this young master. You Yangzhou Magistrate is guilty of this crime.
He deserves to die, but it is not my turn to deserve death for my crime!"
Looking at Emperor Tianqi, a sneer flashed across the face of the Yangzhou magistrate, and he said quite complacently: "In this one-third of an acre of land in Yangzhou City, do you still want to escape from my grasp?"
"How big is your palm? Lang Lang Qingtian said, "How can you, a mere Yangzhou magistrate, cover the sky of the Ming Dynasty?" Emperor Tianqi looked straight at the Yangzhou magistrate, with a bit of disdain on his face. More
It's the atmosphere.
"What crime did this young master commit? When he came to this court, he said evil things without asking any questions. When he opened his mouth, I was selling smuggled salt, but when he shut up, he deserved death. Is this how you asked the case, magistrate of Yangzhou?
?" Emperor Tianqi stared straight at the Yangzhou magistrate, the muscles on his face were twitching constantly, and he was obviously extremely angry.
With a slap on the wrist, the Yangzhou magistrate's face turned red and he shouted loudly: "You are so bold and unruly! How dare you roar in court? Come on! Open your mouth until he begs for mercy!"
As soon as the guards outside heard this, they drew their swords and were about to come in. Emperor Tianqi glared at them fiercely. Fortunately, there was a crowd in the way, so it was not too obvious.
"Prefect, I don't seem to know the background of this person. If there is really any big background, it's better to ask clearly first!" The master on the side leaned into the ear of Yangzhou Magistrate and whispered.
Glancing at Emperor Tianqi, the Yangzhou magistrate nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of Master, I will spare you this beating first. I want to ask you, what is your surname? Where do you live? What do you do?
What's the point of making a living? Recruit them all quickly. If there is any concealment, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Let's not talk about my identity for now. I am a humble citizen of the Ming Dynasty. I would like to know why your Excellency is so confident that I am selling illegal salt? This conviction requires both witness and physical evidence. What evidence does your Majesty have for speaking like this?
"?" Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly, looked at the Yangzhou magistrate, and tried to calm himself down, he must know this matter.
"I want to ask you, do you know the Ren family father and son? Yesterday you took people to the prison to see Ren Changle, and you redeemed Ren Changle's sister from the brothel. I want to ask you, is this the case?
What happened?" The Yangzhou magistrate looked at Emperor Tianqi with bright eyes and asked loudly.
Now I understand everything. In the final analysis, it is because of the Ren family's affairs. It seems that the other party is actually taking action because of nothing I did. There is no investigation, and it is just to kill people, no matter whether you are innocent or not.
, just want to kill you!
"I went to see Ren Changle and told me about this matter. I also want to ask. The Ming Dynasty Law clearly states that even death row prisoners can visit the prison. Why can't I go to see the father and son?
"Emperor Tianqi stared at the Yangzhou magistrate. Now that he knew what happened to Zi, Emperor Tianqi could roughly guess the whole story.
"The Ren family's father and son have the most serious problem. We did this to prevent his accomplices from entering and colluding with him. You tried every possible means to get in, and at the same time you concealed the Ren family's daughter. We suspect that you are Ren's accomplice.
The accomplices of my father and son have decided to keep you for the time being.
Take him into custody and try again on a later date!" The Yangzhou magistrate seemed to have lost his patience and waved to the government officials on the left and right, obviously wanting to take Emperor Tianqi to the prison for torture. When Luo Zhi found out the charges, he directly pushed Emperor Tianqi to the guillotine.
, there is no way to complain even if you want to.
"Sir, before this happens, I think it would be better for you to know my identity! It will be too late by then!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the Yangzhou magistrate with a smile. Emperor Tianqi knew that this official was destined to die. If
