Song Mingyue

Chapter 222

"The descendants of the Chai family are guilty and shall not be punished further. If they commit crimes and seek rebellion, they shall be punished in prison. They shall not be punished by punishment, nor shall they even sit on their relatives."

"Do not kill scholar-bureaucrats and those who write letters."

"If the descendants keep this oath, the heavens will kill them."

As the imperial envoy was walking, Zhao Hao was writing at his desk in the study, copying these three passages several times, including seal script, Liu style, Yan style, and thin gold style.

Fang Baihua sat at the side, looking at Zhao Hao with great interest, with smiles in his eyes.

When Zhao Hao wrote it for the fifth time, Fang Baihua finally couldn't help it: "Young master repeatedly wrote this statement, is it because he is worried about being punished by the heavens, or is he afraid of being blamed by the great ancestor?"

Zhao Hao glanced at her, smiled and didn't speak, and continued to dance Zhu Hao on the rice paper, this time using cursive script.

Those descendants who keep this oath will be killed by heaven... I am not a serious descendant of the art ancestor, according to the Taoists, I just borrowed a cauldron named Zhao, so it's none of my business?
Seeing that Zhao Hao was silent, Fang Baihua added another sentence with a smile: "My lord will act on behalf of the heavens, God won't be so short-sighted, so you don't have to worry.

Zhao Hao finished writing the last four words of "Heaven will kill him" in a leisurely manner, Bai Hua gave Bai Hua a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Smart!"

Fang Baihua sighed slightly and said: "The young hero of the Marquis of Shou'an, looks like Pan'an, is well-educated, highly talented, bravely crowns the three armies, and is virtuous... In fact, in the eyes of this girl, that is not the case."

Zhao Hao glanced at her with a half-smile, and said "Oh" lightly.

Fang Baihua changed the subject: "However, today's son's feat is worthy of the number one hero in the world!"

Hearing her praise, Zhao Hao felt a rippling in his heart, but he still said calmly, "Thank you for your ridiculous praise."

Fang Baihua frowned again, and asked: "Even today's officials dare not disobey the legacy of Taizu's oath stele. In the 150 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was never a single scholar-bureaucrat killed. Today, the young master kills nearly a hundred people at once. Of course It’s very satisfying, but how to explain it to the officials?”

Zhao Hao put down his pen and said with a slight smile: "Zhao is not a reckless person, he has his own countermeasures... This time, you are the person in charge of the confiscation of the criminal's property, how much money will you get?"

Fang Baihua's expression became serious: "200 million sticks."

Zhao Hao's face also became serious, and he asked, "How did this Marquis hear that it was 2000 million guan?"

Fang Baihua said in a deep voice: "Qianyin jewelry and other items were discounted by 800 million guan, which was confiscated by this girl!"

Zhao Hao's eyes were like lightning, fixedly looking at Fang Baihua.

Fang Baihua met his gaze calmly, and said in a slow voice: "You are now an official of the third rank, with boundless glory, did you forget the oath you made that day? How can you not have money and food to help you when you start an incident in the future? Although my brother had reserves in the past, But in the end, more of this stuff is better.”

The look in Zhao Hao's eyes gradually became warmer, and he remembered something again.

"The Rape Slaying Platform must be set up quickly, and the Marquis must personally climb the Rape Slaying Platform to eliminate harm for the country and the people!"

Fang Baihua said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, the Rape Slaying Terrace will be built within three days. The people in the city are all rejoiced when they hear about your master's feat. Many people volunteered to build it, even without paying for it."

Zhao Hao nodded: "Go down, I'll take a rest."

Fang Baihua got up to leave, and just walked to the door, and asked again: "Mr. Xu has been locked up for two days, should you let him out?"

Zhao Hao showed a helpless look on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xu was worried that I would suffer a serious crime, so he wanted to stop me, but I have made up my mind... Before this matter is over, I should wrong Mr. for a few days."

Fang Baihua said no more, turned around and exited the study.

drive drive drive ~
In front of Cai Jing's mansion, several horsemen came galloping, and their horseshoes stepped heavily on the bluestone floor, sparking a stream of sparks.Seeing that he was about to reach within fifty paces of the Cai Mansion's gate, he still refused to dismount and rushed straight forward.

The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the gatekeeper could not help being furious when he saw that the visitor was so aggressive, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to ride a horse in front of Cai's mansion!"

Xi Yuyu~
Following a burst of violent horse neighing, those riders stopped abruptly, and stood in front of the stone lion in Cai Mansion, the leader stood on the horse as soon as it stopped, then turned over and got off the horse.

The boy at the door was about to yell at him, but when he saw the man, he couldn't help being stunned: "Master Fu Yin, how did you come here on horseback?"

The person who came was none other than Cai Mao, Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture. As a fourth-rank official, Cai Mao always came in a sedan chair or a carriage, and had never come galloping on a horse like this, so the boy looked confused.

Cai Mao looked as if someone was about to die at home, and shouted anxiously: "Don't ask too much, my husband is in the mansion, and I have something big to report!"

Seeing his situation like this, the young man dared not be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Please! Please! Please!"

When Cai Mao heard the words, he rushed up the steps, lifted his robe, and rushed in through the side door, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

He turned left and right, like a headless fly, asked Cai Jing to be in the study, and ran straight there, without waiting for someone to report, he stumbled in.

In the study, Cai Jing seemed to have just finished acting, and was reclining on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, before the pen and ink on the desk were dry, he heard Cai Mao yelling like a ghost crying, "My husband..."

Cai Jing jumped up from his chair in shock at his sudden bluff.

Seeing that it was Cai Mao, he couldn't help being so angry that he grabbed the inkstone on the desk and was about to smash it at it, but Cai Mao covered his head and cried, "A big thing is going to happen!"

Cai Jing looked at him with doubts on his face, thinking about what could make Cai Mao break in like crazy without regard for etiquette.

Could it be that the official family has collapsed?

Cai Jing was taken aback by the thoughts in his mind, not to mention that it is impossible for the official family to die, if it really died, then the bells and drums in Bianliang City would already be ringing.

But in Cai Jing's mind, he couldn't imagine other than the death of the official, what else could make Cai Mao so reckless, so he asked with a gloomy face, "What's the big deal, so panic?"

As he asked, he did not put down the bluestone inkstone in his hand, once Cai Mao answered that it was not a head, he would smash it with an inkstone.

However, Cai Mao took out a sealed seal letter from his sleeve, with a look of mourning on his face, and handed it to Cai Jing tremblingly, crying: "More than 100 lives of high-ranking officials..."

Cai Jing put down the inkstone, snatched the secret letter from Cai Mao's hand, read it hastily, and was dumbfounded immediately.

It took a long time for Cai Jing to react, and hissed: "Crazy, this little thief is simply crazy!"

Cai Mao said with tears: "If only one or two people were killed, it would be fine. I just took the opportunity to get rid of them with the legacy of Taizu's oath stele. Now there are nearly a hundred scholar-bureaucrats and more than 100 high-ranking officials. The whole west of Beijing has been killed. It's uprooted!"

The muscles on Cai Jing's face twitched sharply, his thoughts turned sharply, and he thought for a while before saying: "This matter is of great importance, I should go to the palace to face the saint immediately, and you can report to the king of Yan to know. Taifu Yang, I asked the housekeeper to report, we must stop the crazy behavior of the little thief, and take the opportunity to impeach the little thief severely, and then pull him off his horse, and even if he does not die, he must disappear in the capital!"

Cai Mao hurriedly agreed, and rushed out like attending a funeral.

Seeing Cai Mao go out, Cai Jing wiped the sweat off his forehead fiercely, his mind was still in chaos, and he muttered to himself: "This little thief is really a daring master, too crazy, too crazy It's..."

He mumbled to himself for a while before he regained his composure and shouted loudly: "Come on, prepare the sedan chair quickly!"

Just as Cai Jing was rushing to the palace in a soft sedan chair, the news on the secret letter seemed to have spread quickly. To the capital, it was like a big earthquake.

……

Imperial City, Royal Study Room.

Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji was wearing a Taoist robe and feather crown. He seemed to have just finished breathing and breathing exercises. He was sitting on a jade futon and was reading the memorials before the case.

In an incense burner in front of him, sandalwood incense was curling up, and there was no sound. Liang Shicheng held a jade chime and stood quietly aside, with a very respectful expression.

Suddenly a little eunuch walked in with a nervous expression, but he didn't dare to step too hard. He tiptoed to Liang Shicheng's side and whispered something to him in a hurry.

Liang Shicheng turned to Zhao Ji with a solemn expression, hesitantly, he opened his mouth after all, and said in a low voice, "I am asking you to see me, my husband."

Zhao Ji frowned, raised his head, and asked: "It's late now, look at the gate of the palace is about to be closed, what is your husband doing here, is there anything important that you can't report tomorrow?"

The little eunuch said: "My husband is very anxious. I only say that it is a matter of great importance to the country and the country. I must face the saint today."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji's expression became tense, and he said anxiously, "Quickly see you!"

After a while, Cai Jing rushed in unsteadily, and when he saw Zhao Ji, he yelled "The government... the world is going to be chaotic...", and then coughed violently, his face flushed with tears and tears.

Seeing that he was so anxious at his age, Zhao Ji became flustered, and hurriedly motioned to the little eunuch beside him to support Cai Jing.

The little eunuch stabilized Cai Jing's body with one hand, and gently patted Cai Jing's back with the other. After a while, Cai Jing finally seemed to be relieved, and cried again: "Official, you must take care of this matter." The courtiers of Northwest Beijing Road are in charge..."

Zhao Ji became more and more flustered, and said anxiously: "My husband, please sit down and speak slowly."

Cai Jing was not willing to sit down, choked with snot and tears a few times, then took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng took the brocade box, took out a memorial from inside, and confirmed that there was no abnormality After that, he handed it to Zhao Ji carefully.

Zhao Ji took the memorial full of doubts, unfolded it slowly, and read it carefully. He couldn't help being so frightened that his face turned pale, and the memorial in his hand fell to the ground.

"Come on, draft an order!"
