Father can be an enemy to the country

Hu Weiyong was in a coma for a whole day, and was finally awakened by a familiar buzzing sound at dusk.

He raised his eyelids with difficulty and saw that the mosquito army was out again.

"Fuck, here we go again..." Hu Weiyong groaned and had no choice but to accept the guest.

After a day of recovery, the big bumps on his body were basically flat, leaving only dense red dots, which did not affect the mosquitoes' ability to eat...

The familiar unbearable itching spread throughout his body again, and after a while, Hu Weiyong laughed hoarsely again.

The laughter stopped in the middle of the night, and he passed out again...

It was like this for three days before Hu Weiyong died. It is not known whether he died of itching, blood loss, or being poisoned by mosquitoes.

In any case, the life of the last prime minister came to an end on this day, but his impact was far from over...

~~

Back to the night of June 30th.

The endless interrogation at Jinyiwei Yamen stopped.

The civil and military officials who had been tortured for three days finally took a breather and had a sumptuous dinner.

Looking at the bowl of rice covered with large slices of pork belly, many officials couldn't help crying.

"Woo, I don't want to die..."

In the prison, there was a lot of crying, and they all thought it was their last meal.

"Stop crying, this is not a decapitation meal." Jin Yiwei, who brought them the meal, had no choice but to clarify, and then the adults sobbed and took the bowls to eat.

Emma, ​​it smells so good...

After eating and drinking, they were taken to see the two highnesses one by one.

Because there were too many people to talk to alone, the two brothers met separately.

On Lao Liu's side, the first person brought in was Kaiji, the Minister of Punishment.

Kaiji had just become a minister not long ago. His predecessor, Zhao Butang, was executed by Boss Zhu on an excuse because he helped Hu Weiyong kill the white duck.

But at that time, Kaiji was the minister in charge of Tianlao, and he later presided over Hu Tianci's execution, so he was greeted emphatically by the Jin Yiwei, who wanted to pry something useful out of his mouth.

Kaiji is not that tough. In the past few days, he has recruited all the people he should and should not, and he has also dragged many colleagues into the trap. The face of the director has been completely lost.

So when I met Lao Liu, he was as well-behaved as a little sheep and had no temper at all.

"The guilty minister pays homage to His Highness." Kaiji Maliao knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please get up in the Kaibu Hall." Lao Liu asked him to stand up with a pleasant look, and also asked him to sit on the small stool opposite him.

Kaiji quickly declined flattered and said: "How can a guilty minister sit in front of the prince?"

"I told you to sit down, why are you talking so much nonsense?" Shu Laibao, who was behind Lao Liu, stared at him, and Kaiji hurriedly sat upright on the small stool.

"How was dinner at Kaibu Tang?" Lao Liu still kept a warm smile on his face.

"Well, thanks to His Highness, I finally had a full meal." Kaiji nodded quickly and said with a smile: "I was shocked at first, I thought it was a decapitation meal."

"Hahaha, don't be surprised." Lao Liu said with a smile: "We do things clearly. Even if we go on the road, we will make you understand."

"Haha, yes, the guilty minister was originally scared to death, but as soon as he saw His Highness, he was no longer scared for some reason." Kaiji said with an apologetic smile.

"Why, am I so weak in deterrence?" Lao Liu asked with a half-smile but not a smile.

"No, no, no, Your Highness has misunderstood." Kaiji quickly waved his hand and explained: "Your Highness is majestic and majestic, full of kingly style, how can he not be a deterrent? It's just that the guilty minister has already done all the things he should have done, but now he has been tricked by the prince. Summoned. So the sinner boldly guesses that it should be a blessing rather than a curse."

"Haha, it's easy to talk to smart people." Lao Liu got straight to the point: "I have already read the Kaibu Tang case file. It is shocking."

"Your Majesty, you must be aware that the guilty minister is feeling bitter." Kaiji did not dare to complain in front of Lao Liu, so he could only express his grievances tactfully.

"You don't need to say more, I understand it all in my heart." Lao Liu waved his hand, and he was too embarrassed to explain the charges he had compiled.

He patted the file on the table and said: "There are indeed some things that can be considered here. But you also have to understand us. The Jinyiwei was only established the day you came in. We are short of manpower and lack of experience, so it is inevitable. .”

"Yes." Kaiji nodded vigorously. When he heard this familiar official tone, he understood more and more that there was still room for change. "In such a short period of time, even if we work together with the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, we can't do better. Your family is already very powerful,"

"Hey, there is still room for improvement." Lao Liu shook his head and said, "Father saw it and criticized us and asked us to come back and rework it."

"Of course, my father still approves the overall work of Jinyiwei, and time is tight, so we can only retrial part of it." After a pause, he raised his voice and said: "It is impossible to retrial everyone's case, then ours Where can I put my face?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Kaiji nodded like a peck of rice. I don't care how many retrials you have, as long as you retrial mine.

"I called you here tonight just to ask you what you think. Do you think it is necessary to retry your case?" Lao Liu also asked with a smile.

"Of course it is necessary, it is so necessary!" Kaiji hurriedly handed over his hands and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and the chaos was shocking. The guilty minister was frightened, and his memory was temporarily confused. Many of his confessions were incorrect. Please be sure, Your Highness. Give the criminal another chance!"

"Okay, write it down." Lao Liu told the secretary, and then said leisurely. "Let's see how many people are willing to retrial. If there aren't many, your wish will be granted."

"..." Kaiji was not led by Lao Liu. His mood had always been very stable, and he even wanted to laugh secretly, because he was so familiar with this set of words. Every time he wanted to ask for a bribe, he would hint like this.

Of course His Highness will not ask for a bribe from him, he must have other requirements. He hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Please, Your Highness, please name the guilty minister. I will not hesitate to act like a cow or a horse for the next five years."

"I have no shortage of horses and horses, I just have a pity for talents." Lao Liu shook his head and said with a smile, "Well, as long as you promise me one thing, I will fulfill your wish."

"I can agree to anything." Kaiji said without hesitation: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"No, I won't let you go through fire and water. I just want you to go to court tomorrow." Lao Liu said calmly: "Just like you did before."

"I am willing, of course I am!" Kaiji agreed first, then asked puzzledly: "But as a low-ranking official with a sinful body, is he still qualified to go to work sideways?"

"As you said, did the court say you should be fired from your position?" Lao Liu asked.

"I have never heard of that, nor have I received an order." Kaiji shook his head and said while suppressing his rapid heartbeat.

"Isn't this the end?" Lao Liu laughed and said, "So you are still the Minister of Punishment of the imperial court, so of course you are qualified to go to court."

Lao Liu said with a wink and a smile: "If you perform well, maybe you can do it in the future."
