I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Tianshun four years.

summer.

Lu Shangshu privately hid dragon robes, armor, and bombs, and was suspected of treason.

The first two cases were framed by Dongchang, but the latter has solid evidence, even civil and military officials have nothing to say.

Emperor Tianshun personally approved the beheading and execution, and chose a day for execution.

Tang Mingyuan knelt outside the palace gate for two days and two nights until he passed out and failed to be summoned by His Majesty.

The twenty-third of the lunar month.

It was midsummer, and the sun was scorching hot.

A long row of prisoners kneeled at Caishikou, with death cards on their backs, and the executioner stood beside them.

The whining and whining sounded continuously, and the timid couldn't help shouting for mercy, even cursing and insulting Lu Shangshu, trying to get Dongchang's attention.

On the contrary, it was the younger grandchildren who knelt on the ground and looked left and right, blinking their black eyes, not understanding what kind of game they were playing.

Surrounded by crowds of onlookers, waiting to see the excitement of beheading, from time to time someone threw rotten leaves and rotten eggs.

"Behead, behead!"

"The Holy Majesty is a benevolent monarch. If you dare to rebel, you should punish the nine clans!"

"Dongchang really did a good job. If the Lu family rebels, our good life will be over."

"Be careful what you say!"

"We're talking good things about Dongchang, isn't that all right?"

"You can't even mention those two words, it's a taboo..."

This is by no means a babysitter arranged by Dongchang, but the people spontaneously support Emperor Tianshun, and hate the Lu family who intends to rebel.

Emperor Tianshun accepted eunuchs as cadres, setting a precedent for the country.

It is also unprecedented for a servant to serve in the six departments.

For such actions, if the emperor changed, he would have been scolded as a faint emperor by the court and the people, but Emperor Tianshun became a benevolent emperor praised by each other.

Ge Yin's inner ministers, Zhou and Yuan, supervised all officials, and foreign minister Tang Mingyuan presided over the reform of the country.

The common people have felt the real benefits, and it is not a big problem for His Majesty to favor eunuchs and indulge in sensuality.

So the Lu family conspired to rebel and punish the nine clans, and the people applauded.

As for whether Lu Shangshu supports the New Deal, the people don't know, and they don't bother to inquire, as long as they cut off the heads of the officials, they will applaud!

among the crowd.

Zhou Yi's chin and lips were stained with a beard, and he changed into the gauze clothes that the rich in the country like to wear. He looked around and finally saw an acquaintance in the corner.

Exercising the Dragon Walking Kungfu, he shuttled through the crowd and came to the southeast corner.

The guards pretending to be civilians noticed something strange, and they lined up four or five horizontally to prevent Zhou Yi from approaching Tang Xiang.

Zhou Yi folded his hands and said with a smile: "Our family and Mr. Tang are old acquaintances."

The word "our family" came to my ears, and the guard's face changed slightly.

Wearing a black hat, Tang Mingyuan looked carefully at Zhou Yi's appearance, and said in surprise, "It turns out that the governor is here. This attire is not as imposing as the boa robe."

"Master Tang doesn't know something. Our family was poor when we were young, and we didn't even have a full meal."

Zhou Yi's figure was like a swimming fish, he easily broke through the guards, stood beside Tang Mingyuan, and said reminiscently.

"At that time, my father was farming for Sun Laocai in the village, and he was envious of the clothes they wore. He dreamed of having one in the future, and today his dream has come true."

Tang Mingyuan praised: "Grand Du has been from a country boy all the way to today, with power in the government and the public, he can be called an outstanding man in the world!"

"Much praise, praise."

Zhou Yi boasted: "Master Tang, as the son-in-law, ranks among the elders of the pavilion, and the history books say that he will not be recorded as the first son-in-law in ancient and modern times!"

The two were bragging about their business, and it was 3:00 noon.

The prison officer is Ning Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, who also supports the New Deal and has a close relationship with Lu Shangshu. He ordered the soldiers to serve spirits to all the prisoners.

This is Tang Xiang's liquor made by distillation. When it first came out, it was said to be a tael of gold for a tael of wine. Now that the price has come down, it is not something ordinary rich people can afford to drink.

The prisoner gulped down a large bowl of spirits and soon became dizzy.

Ning Shilang threw down the token: "Execution!"

The executioner took a sip of wine at the Guitou Broadsword, swung the knife round, exerted enough strength, and cut off the neck with a click.

The head rolled out Zhang Xuyuan, and the blood in the neck spurted out.

"good!"

Seeing the sharpness of the executioner's slashing, the people couldn't help applauding, just like watching a busker on the street.

Tang Mingyuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red under his bamboo hat, and he tried to bite his lips to keep himself from crying out in grief.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhou Yi said faintly: "Our family doesn't understand. It's fine for the common people to scold Dongchang. Why even Lu Shangshu also scolded him. He is a good man who is dedicated to the people."

"The people are so ignorant, fortunately our family is not a good person, otherwise we will die of anger!"

Tang Mingyuan turned his head and stopped looking at the execution ground. His voice was cold and hateful: "Duke, is this what you want to see?"

"Master Tang was joking."

Zhou Yi didn't deny it, nor did he admit it: "Our family didn't feel sorry for the Lu family. We just saw Enzehou doing things and didn't stop him."

"Our family is the admiral of the East Factory. Everyone shouts and beats dogs. Standing by and watching is already a good deed!"

"What exactly does the governor want to do?"

Tang Mingyuan suppressed the anger in his heart, knowing that the root of it was Emperor Tianshun, and Zhou Dugong was just pushing the boat along the way.

Zhou Yi looked up at the palace, and muttered to himself, "Our family has a dream..."

Tang Mingyuan raised his brows, and almost asked whether odd or even unchanged.

Zhou Yi didn't continue talking, the dream was too shocking, the voice changed and said: "Master Tang, do you want to know why our family came to you today?"

Tang Mingyuan said: "The only thing that can impress me in this world is the New Deal, so something went wrong with the New Deal?"

"Talking with a smart person is transparency."

Zhou Yi took out a stack of paper from his cuff, on which were written numerous names.

"Lu Shangshu sentenced the Jiu Clan and frightened many people. These officials secretly took refuge in Liubu Xing, and they will bite Master Tang back at any time."

Tang Mingyuan took the list and saw many familiar names.

"Song Jiamao, I regard him as a disciple, and he can pass on the mantle in the future...Wang Su, I have forgotten my friendship...Shen Geng, my friend..."

"The New Deal has been implemented, and they have contributed a lot."

Tang Mingyuan said in a deep voice: "The method of the governor's separation and frame is well-known in the court, but it is not feasible for this official!"

"Master Tang misunderstood our family."

Zhou Yi said: "Dongchang is famous for every time it is planted and framed. Those corrupt officials are really convicted according to the laws of the country, and they are also punishing the nine clans!"

In order to prevent corrupt officials from harming the country, the Taizu of Daqing stipulated that the corruption of ink should exceed 10,000 taels, and the three tribes of barbarians should exceed 100,000 taels.

Nowadays, corruption in the officialdom is rife, and the law is still in place, but no one enforces it.

Therefore, relying solely on the crime of corruption of ink, it is difficult to punish the nine clans according to the law. Dongchang must go to the corrupt official's house to deliver the dragon robe and bury the armor.

Tang Mingyuan couldn't help but sarcastically said: "So I still want to thank Duke Du for fighting corruption for the court?"

"There is no need for Mr. Tang to praise the affairs of the East Factory."

Zhou Yi's face was wrapped with the Nine Layers of Real Gang, so he didn't care about the yin and yang, and continued: "This list of our family has real evidence, Master Tang can verify it at will."

Tang Mingyuan was silent for a long time, stuffed the list into his cuff, and sighed.

"They are all top-notch scholars, they understand the righteousness of the family and the country, and they have ideals and ambitions. They all scolded dogs loudly on weekdays, but now they have turned to the servants."

Zhou Yi pointed to the bloody execution ground and said: "There is great horror between life and death, and the case of the Lu family is right in front of us. How can we care about etiquette, justice, and shame in order to survive?"

Tang Mingyuan said: "So seeking benevolence and righteousness are just talking?"

"Jie jie jie..."

Zhou Yi laughed strangely and said: "Our family doesn't study much, and we don't understand any major principles, but we understand human nature!"

"He has studied for more than ten years, worked hard to pass the exam, and then worked hard to climb up. It can be said that he has worked a thousand times harder than ordinary people."

"Finally sitting on a high-ranking official, why would you risk your life for ordinary people?"

"If it's our house, make money first and enjoy it!"

"Lord Tang, His Majesty held high regard before, and everyone followed Master Tang to shout slogans and rely on the New Deal to get promoted. Now that His Majesty has other ideas, they immediately turned their guns!"

Tang Mingyuan has been an official for several years, and he has seen many strange phenomena in the officialdom, and understands that what Zhou Yi said is the truth, the past, present, and future will not change.

"The duke has said so much, what exactly do you want to do?"

Zhou Yi said: "Our family just wants to tell Mr. Tang that it is not acceptable to rely on other people's charity, and some things must be held in your hands!"

Tang Mingyuan's mind turned, he had a vague guess, and struggle flashed in his eyes.

One side is a good friend who knows you well, and the other side is the ideal of making a living for the people. It is difficult to make a choice in a short time.

Muran raised his head and saw that the executioner was raising his knife to chop off the head of Lu Shangshu's grandson, his big round eyes were still open until he died.

Maybe the child's not very smart head is still wondering how to see his back.

Tang Mingyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he became determined, and asked, "The governor is very calculating. You don't need to do it yourself. Let someone force you to a dead end!"

Joy flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, and the goal had already been achieved. He said, "Even if our family doesn't indulge, Jiu Changshi will make a big case. At that time, Mr. Tang will have no choice."

Tang Mingyuan said: "So it just happened to be the Lu family's turn to be unlucky?"

"Every drink and peck, there is a cause and effect."

Zhou Yi said mysteriously: "The killing of the nine clans by the Lu family may not necessarily be a catastrophe, and we don't know if there will be rewards in the future."

Tang Mingyuan didn't know why, and said solemnly: "If things come to fruition in the future, I will overturn the case and avenge the Lu family, and all the servants involved in the case will be buried with the Lu family!"

"sure."

Zhou Yi said: "Our family will write a list, and all servants involved in the case of Lu's family will be dealt with by Mr. Tang."

Tang Mingyuan reminded: "Duke, don't try to make people pay for their crimes. For example, to supervise the arrest of Eunuch Sun, the head of the department, he must die!"

Eunuch Sun is in charge of the Supervising and Arresting Department, with a high position and power in Dongchang, and he is Zhou Yi's right-hand man.

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Eunuch Sun is at the top of the list."

Tang Mingyuan showed doubts, and Zhou Yi explained without haste.

"Who made him want to step on two boats, loyal to our family and loyal to Enzehou..."

Loyalty is not absolute, that is absolute disloyalty.

Zhou Yi used Tang Mingyuan's hand to clean up the servants. In the future, only one voice will be allowed in Dongchang, even if His Majesty comes in person, it will be difficult to give orders.
