Live as the emperor

Chapter 133
People with fame do not need to kneel. This is a very strange rule. In fact, kneeling and worshiping is a kind of "precious abnormality" left after the invasion of foreign races. However, adding such a rule indirectly shows that the status of scholars is noble. Under the rule of foreign races, they all enjoyed privileges. Indeed, in ancient times when reading was expensive, being able to read was itself a symbol of status.In the later literati era, it was even more remarkable. Scholars seemed to be born superior. No matter when and where, they have an inexplicable sense of superiority that is very strange to modern people.Later, when most of the imperial court were literati, this inexplicable sense of superiority was suddenly magnified infinitely, so that even a small county magistrate could be removed by the emperor if he wanted to.Could it be that the handsome Tu Zhibin was a king's official, that's completely nonsense.

So even if he knew that Peng Cheng had committed a heinous crime, Chen Guang would have no way to make him plead guilty without conclusive evidence. This is really a pain in the ass.Of course, we are still living in the era of warriors, and the peak of the era of literati has not yet arrived. Although there is such a trend, it is not absolute. As long as there is a little evidence, it is easy to kill Peng Cheng.The question is, what about the evidence?

As far as Peng Cheng and Gong Changlong are concerned, Gong Changlong is an official under Peng Cheng. The so-called high-ranking officials crush people to death. Peng Chengcheng was able to arrest Gong Changlong and put him in prison before receiving the order from the court. Now there is still a private court, but even if these things are illegal, they are not enough to kill him, but he can easily kill Gong Changlong, which is very embarrassing.So, there will never be a perfect time for the system. The so-called butt determines thinking. Where the butt sits, the height of thinking will be, there is no doubt about it.

"This Peng Cheng is very cautious in his actions, so even if all the people are gnashing their teeth at him, there is nothing they can do about it, and the officials below, although they are exploited by him, are also very jealous of him. Your Royal Highness, it is not good to say it In other words, this is called the sky is high and the emperor is far away. As long as his affairs do not come out, he can continue to dominate forever, alas, in fact, everyone is suffering." When Xiao He talked about Peng Cheng, it seemed that he also had a lot of bitterness. Pour outside.

It can be seen that Xiao He also has a lot to say about this Peng Cheng, but he is only a little master, and he is soft-spoken, so naturally it is impossible to win Peng Cheng, and he must be careful about this Peng Cheng's schemes, so to speak. It's like walking on eggshells.

Chen Guang thought that Peng Cheng was just a commoner, but he didn't expect that the officials under him hated him so much.He said: "Letting such a person become an official is indeed an oversight by the court. Although a group of officials were dealt with last year, but the country is so big, it is inevitable that there will be omissions."

"This humble minister naturally knew about it, and never thought it was the court's fault. It's just a pity that Gong Changlong was framed in like this. And his daughter, the humble minister just gave her a piece of news, she unexpectedly It is really heartbreaking to do such a thing, if possible, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will remember her when she was young, and forgive her this crime." Xiao He said.

Chen Guang said with a smile: "Her, I don't think there is anything wrong with her. How can I forgive her sins."

Xiao He said: "That's good, that's good."

Chen Guangdao: "I came here today just to get some clues from you, but now it seems that there are no clues. If this is the case, then I will leave."

He stood up to leave, but Xiao He asked him to stay for dinner, but he did not agree, and returned to the inn, and saw the little beggar, who asked hopefully, "How is it?" Chen Guang shook his head helplessly, and said, "Master Xiao, although I have a good relationship with Gong Changlong, but he didn't give me any evidence, it seems that this way is not going to work, so let's think of other ways."

At this moment, Wu Xin came in from the outside and said, "Second Master, the imperial envoy from the capital has arrived in Zhu County."

"Come here?" Chen Guang's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's a good relationship. They can come forward to deal with many things, and they should be able to investigate clearly soon. After all, in this place, Peng Cheng is already angry. Individuals will know."

He touched the little beggar's head and said with a smile: "Your sister Fangfang should be released from prison soon."

In Zhu County, outside the city, a group of people came slowly from the official road. There were four flags in the front and four gongs behind the flags. They walked a few steps and struck the sound, and the sound spread far away.There was a sedan chair at the back, and sitting in it were the officials who came out of the capital to handle the Gong Changlong case.

But at this moment, outside Zhuxian City, a group of officials headed by Peng Cheng had already been waiting in official uniforms, and there were no ordinary people on the street, all of them were driven away by the soldiers, and all the shops were closed.

The official from the capital is named Hao Ren, but he doesn't look like a good person. He has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Chen Guang once saw him when he was in court. At that time, he was still wondering why such an honorable person could be an official After all, the image of an official is very important. Not to mention dignified appearance, at least it must be within an acceptable range, and at least it must be tolerable. However, Hao Ren didn't even meet this standard, but he became an official. , This makes people feel very ghost doctor.

It is said that Hao Ren was sitting in the sedan chair, reading a book, suddenly felt the sedan chair shake, and was about to curse, but heard a deep voice from outside, saying: "Peng Cheng, the next official, welcomes the mission."

"Oh? Here we are?" Hao Ren muttered to himself, then opened the curtain and saw that he had indeed arrived in Zhu County. He threw the book on his seat, got off the sedan, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Everyone Hello colleagues."

Peng Chengdao: "The mission has been tough all the way, and the subordinate officials have arranged a banquet in the Yanque Tower to clean up the dust for the mission."

"Oh? The Birdhouse? Is it the Birdhouse where the bird knows the ambition of the big bird?" Hao Ren asked.

Peng Cheng said with a smile: "No, no, it's the swallow of Yingying Yanyan, the bird of little bird."

Hao Ren immediately smiled meaningfully, and said, "So it's like this, a good name, a good name. Since you have such a heart, then I will not be disrespectful."

Peng Cheng said: "This is a letter of etiquette from the lower officials, as it should be. There is no need to be polite to the superior officials."

"It's rare for you to be so caring, so I won't accept your kindness. I'm here to investigate the case. You have to remember that."

"People are like iron and rice is steel. Even if they are investigating cases, they still have to eat. Even if the emperor comes, it must be like this, right?"

"It makes sense, let's go."
