First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Li Gao's eyes were bloodshot, and he staggered out of the gate of Pan's residence. A servant waiting in front of the door gave his hand to him with a bitter face. To be honest, he didn't want to come, who didn't know that the magistrate was about to die.

But there is no other way, no one is willing to come, so they will naturally push out the least status, heh, they are both servants and small officials, and there are still distinctions between high and low.

"Master, shall we go back to Yali?"

Li Gao nodded dumbly, his legs trembling uncontrollably. If possible, he didn't want to suffer this kind of waiting for death anymore, but he couldn't die like this. What do they leave behind, but it can't make them die together.

Even if the family property is fined and the income is confiscated, as long as the person is still there, the people in Liyang will always take care of them, at least they will not starve to death on the streets, and there is still hope in the future.

It's a lie to say that you don't hate Pan Fu, but it's easy to die, but what can be solved?

When a person is about to die, he has to think about it for his loved ones.

After returning to the county office, he saw his aide came out with his luggage on his back. The two of them looked at each other without words but tears. Li Gao didn't stop him, but patted him on the shoulder and let him go.

"Take the shackles."

"master?"

"go!"

Li Gao arranged the county seal documents and put them in the hall, took off the black gauze and took off his official robe, and stood silently with his head raised and his white jacket and official boots on. Waiting for the sound of the shackles to crack, he walked to the courtyard and stood still.

The guard swallowed, and tremblingly stepped forward to handcuff him to the shackles. This is the magistrate of the county.

The shoulders and arms that were shackled by the shackles were painful, and there were stains and a foul smell on them. Under the weight of the heavy burden, Li Gao knelt down, his body was painful but his heart was in vain, and he accepted his fate.

Not long after a cup of tea, there was a sound of horseshoes trampling outside the yamen, and a group of people rushed in. The guards, who usually flaunt their might to the people, hid in desperation, not even daring to take a second look.

The headed officials had eyes like eagles and falcons, and were dressed in five-rank official uniforms. Behind them were officials from the Ministry of Punishment in the capital.

The doctor of the Ministry of punishment stood in front of Li Gao and asked condescendingly, "Who is kneeling?"

"Your official... Li Gao, the criminal magistrate of Liyang County, knows that he has violated the law and wronged the emperor's favor, so he is waiting for arrest with a shackle."

"Heh, he's pretty smart. Come and verify his identity."

It is naturally impossible to come here to be ordered to arrest someone. He is whoever he says he is, so he has to check carefully. This is an important case that both the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince know about. It is a serious crime to arrest the wrong person.

The county magistrate was easy to recognize. After arresting some people inside and outside to identify him, he confirmed Li Gao's identity, that is, removed his shackles, and was about to rush back to the capital. Where is he allowed to make gestures? There is no lack of shackles for him.

After tying him to the horse's back, a big man with cheeks stepped forward and said, "Guard Lang, let's go back right away, and we should be able to return to the capital at night."

"Your mind is full of horse dung? How can you do this one? There is another servant, Pan Fu, who will be arrested, and then pick a few servants to take away the victims of the common people, so as not to make mistakes, you and I can't bear it."

"promise."

The man turned around and yelled: "Who is Pan Fu! Get out!"

The huddled county government servants trembled a few times, but no one dared to speak. The old men from Beijing are powerful, but the Pan family is not a vegetarian, so they can still make their family ruined and their wives scattered.

At this time, a middle-aged man in official uniform walked in. His face was pale and his expression was dull. After walking a few steps, he lay on the ground, but he still shouted: "The villain is Pan Fu. Settle down the house, come and get the Death leads to death..."

The cheeky man made a fuss, and several other officials of the Ministry of Punishment stepped up to the front with iron rulers and beat the county government officials crying for their father and mother, and then asked: "This man is Pan Fu? You sons of a bitch!" , have been carefully watched by Lao Tzu, if you make a mistake, you must die!"

"It's Pan Fu, it's Pan Fu."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"The little ones dare not lie to adults, he is Pan Fu."

They were satisfied, and then like picking chickens, they randomly picked a few servants and prepared to take them back to Beijing, whether they were used as witnesses or for interrogation. This kind of case that is heard by God is more troublesome. It's more troublesome.

The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment looked thoughtfully at the people who had wandered around in front of the county yamen for several times. It is not surprising that the common people like to watch the excitement, but it is rare to see such deliberate circles, and he noticed that these officers saw the man All of a sudden, I trembled a few times.

"Listen well, the Ministry of Officials will come to take over the county office later, and I will stay here honestly until now!"

After taking the man with him, he beat the horse and left the county seat. After the horse was whipped for more than ten miles, the horse stopped, and the horse neighed suddenly, and the prisoner asked, "Mr. Lang, why did you stop, but you are not feeling well?"

The doctor of the Ministry of punishment jumped off the horse and said: "I am not at ease, I am afraid there is something wrong."

A group of people looked at each other, and immediately jumped off their horses, and several people with the county government guards dragged them off immediately, ignoring their begging for mercy, and dragging them aside, the iron ruler fell down.

No one asked Lang Zhong if he was thinking too much. This is not an ordinary case, and the case has already reached the sky. If it weren't for the urgent urging from Beijing, they would all want to investigate in Liyang for a few days before arresting him.

The cheeky man cast a cold look at Li Gao, although he is a small county magistrate, he is an official ordered by the imperial court, and no one is easy to be sentenced without being convicted by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Lang Guan, why don't I lead someone back?"

"Well, take a few brothers to change into plain clothes and go back to check it out. We don't want merit but no fault."

"promise."

"So, the Pan family is considered a powerful place?"

In the side hall of the Jinshen Hall, Zhu Biao rubbed the ring pendant, and ordered his fellow acquaintance Shang Honghai to kneel in the middle. After killing several people in succession, everything came to light.

No one can bear the methods of the pro-military Duwei's Mansion, and those who died were not because they didn't recruit, but Shang Honghai also cleared out a few positions for his confidantes in order to scare the chickens and monkeys.

"As far as Master Hui is concerned, the Pan family is just a family of officials from generation to generation, and it can't be called a powerful family. The people who make friends with them are all local ruffians, tyrants, private salt dealers, and at most they are county magistrates who suppress the flow of water."

"Hmph, if you really stand upright, a court official under the emperor's feet can't hold back a little official."

"The minister checked and found out that when Li Gao was working in other places, he was honest and self-disciplined, and he was not greedy for money. Then Pan Fu lured him with sex and dragged him into trouble."

"It's interesting to say, for His Highness's sake, after Li Gao accepted the beautiful woman presented by Pan Fu, in order to hide the eyes and ears of others, this beautiful woman hid in Pan Fu's house, and came here to play with her every now and then between official duties."

"But one time, Pan Fu was so itchy that he also got together with that woman. He felt very comfortable after being overwhelmed, and he simply married this woman as a concubine."

"Then Li Gao is dissatisfied, but he has already been dragged into the water, and he is full of complaints. He has no choice but to come to the door to deliver congratulatory gifts in person. After that, I heard that there will be no chance to get close to the beautiful lady."

After hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, lamenting his misfortune, angering him for not contending, he was wronged by a hundred miles, but he was broken by a female sex, and he was humiliated by an official. It's really embarrassing for the court.

After laughing, Zhu Biao didn't let go of his heart. The mere matter of a county is really not worthy of his concern. If Huang Lu didn't catch up with the time, this matter would only be presented to him after the fact for review and approval. beheaded.

According to the law, unless the crime is as serious as a rebellion and rebellion, the local chief official can beheaded first and then played.

The rest have to be reported layer by layer until the central government, and the emperor's imperial pen can make a decision before the real decision can be made. If it is not necessary, Lao Zhu will not let Zhu Biao touch his hands.

Of course, it's not a taboo, but it's just that young people should not do too much when dealing with killing. Since Zhu Biao sketched the household affairs in that year, he hasn't done it for a long time. For a month, I would rather spend more time than contaminate my son too much.
