Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 194 Noble Beggar
Wang Jixun was ruthless, he just refused to admit defeat, he just wanted to confront Zhao Dezhao, and persisted for another two days.

But he was ruthless, others are not stupid.

The next day, someone in his camp started to work hard and stopped being lazy and slippery.

Sure enough, at noon, they were pulled into another group, with meat and white steamed buns, and their mouths were full of oil.

Now that there is a leader, some people still change camps one after another.

After three days, Wang Jixun was as hungry as a wolf, and at night his eyes glowed green.

One of his loyal subordinates worked hard the next day and was transferred away from him.

When others asked, it turned out that this subordinate knew him well. Looking at his appearance, he knew that he was greedy for meat, and it was likely that he was greedy for human flesh, so he left him, for fear of being eaten alive by him at night.

"Could it be true that this person eats people?"

"Of course! You thought it was a joke!"

At this time, it was too late for Wang Jixun to regret it. He wanted to work hard, but he couldn't hold on anymore.

No clothes to change, no water to bathe, no food or sleep, and after a few days, all the rich and powerful have turned into beggars.

This kind of concentration camp management, no beating or swearing, is simply and crudely divided the prisoners into two types by using sliced ​​meat buns as the dividing line.

However, there is no such thing as a path, and Zhao Guangyi was by Zhao Dezhao's side, always under surveillance. Seeing this situation, he quietly reported the information to Zhao Guangyi.

In fact, Zhao Guangyi didn't like Wang Jixun. In history, he ordered Wang Jixun to be killed after he ascended the throne.

But the situation is different now, Wang Jixun is the first-line hero who directly confronts the Rebellion King, and he is regarded as an accomplice.

So Zhao Guangyi immediately summoned his men to prepare for the rescue operation when he went to court the next day.

"Your Majesty! I heard that some honorable ministers who made mistakes were treated inhumanely in the prison under King Qi's rule! Please investigate this matter carefully and give these people justice."

"Secondary! These people are all heroes in the past. Although they have made mistakes now, but humiliating people like this is obviously revenge for personal revenge!"

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised.

"Your Majesty! If there is such a thing! In order to test the yield of rice seeds in Champa, King Qi drove all the prisoners in the capital into the field dormitory and made them do coolie work."

Zhao Guangyi stepped forward and went into battle himself.

"Other ordinary prisoners are treated very well, but these ministers who have made mistakes have no food or drink, and they are all treated inhumanly."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Dezhao, "Dezhao! Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Dezhao smiled and said, "The king of Jin is serious! It's nothing to do with it."

"Why didn't this matter! King Qi, do you dare to let my subordinates go to your place to pick up people? You will know when the criminal comes."

Facing Zhao Guangyi's tit-for-tat confrontation, Zhao Dezhao didn't care, and said flatly, "Why don't you dare! You just send someone to take it and see who is right."

Huh!This guy is not afraid, so confident, could it be that he still has a good card in his hand.

Zhao Guangyi couldn't control so much, and ordered his subordinates to go to the fields to pick up people immediately.

So those ministers who were planting and fertilizing were brought to the court.

There used to be hundreds of these people, but after a few days of tempering, only a dozen diehards remained.

In fact, these people didn't mean that they were so stubborn. Even Wang Jixun himself wanted to switch in the later stage.

But at this time, I can't eat enough for several days, and my physical fitness can't keep up. I have to rest after a few jobs, and I still look lazy and slippery.

Soon, the servant brought more than a dozen people to the hall to meet him.

"Your Majesty! The guilty minister is here to see you! I beg Your Majesty to kill the guilty minister immediately!"

As soon as Wang Jixun entered the hall, he immediately fell to the ground and cried to the heavens and the earth.

As soon as these dozens of people appeared on the stage, it immediately caused an uproar in the audience.

I saw that these people didn't look like the rich and powerful in the past, all of them were dressed in rags and looked disheveled.Although it's only been ten days, it has already begun to lose weight.

This is not the former Xunchen, he is simply a beggar on the street.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

"Dezhao! What's going on, you still say there are no torturers?"

Zhao Kuangyin turned cold.

I thought it would be up to you this time, otherwise, if you would embarrass yourself every time in front of civil and military officials, I wouldn't be able to help you.

As if nothing had happened, Zhao Dezhao said without changing his expression, "Your Majesty! I have always treated prisoners kindly, and have never abused them."

As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his arms with the laws of the Song Dynasty written on it.

Zhao Dezhao turned to the third page and read, "Fan: The daily food consumption of criminals should be fixed at ten renminbi per day. Those who waste more are wasteful, and those who are less are criminal abusers."

"Your Majesty! The food expenses I give these prisoners every day are ten cents a day, not too high, and I never abused them!"

Not only Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, but other officials were also stunned.

This seems to be true, ten cents is really not much, gruel and pickles are just enough to keep you full, don't worry about water and dry, you are a person who has committed crimes, how can you be so particular about it.

"That's not right!" Zhao Kuangyin said, "I saw them before when they were in the sky prison. Why are they all fat and white, but now they all look like this."

"Your Majesty! That's only because King Jin violated the rules! In order to keep these sinners who have committed crimes, he changed the laws of the Song Dynasty without authorization, and used the state's money to support these sinners every day."

"You! King Qi said so, do you have evidence?"

Zhao Guangyi glared at Zhao Dezhao.

"Without evidence, how dare I confront you."

As Zhao Dezhao said, he took out another bill from his pocket.

It is densely packed, and I remember that when these prisoners were locked in the prison, they prepared meals for them and wrote down the accounts.

"Your Majesty, please look at this! This is the real violation, using the country's money for personal use and raising people who are loyal to you."

Zhao Dezhao handed the bill to the servant and asked him to present it to the emperor.

Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale in an instant, wondering when this kid found the evidence.

All my subordinates eat shit?Don't even know what he does.

Zhao Kuangyin took the bill and glanced at it briefly.

Sure enough, this money shouldn't be spent at all, and it's no wonder that even in the sky prison, these guys can still maintain a white, fat, pampered look.

"Wang Zhizhong! How do you explain it to me?"

Zhao Kuangyin threw the bill to the ministers forcefully.

As the bills fell, Wang Zhizhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, sweated profusely.

Of course he knew about this matter, but Jin Wang was so powerful that he didn't dare to say no at all, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted.

Now, you have to bear the blame yourself.

While regretting, Wang Zhizhong squinted at Zhao Guangyi.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Guangyi ignored him and said loudly, "Since the Ministry of Punishment does not obey the rules, it is natural to punish him severely. Your Majesty, how do you deal with it?"
