I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

It was half a month later when Shen Rong heard the news from the General's Mansion and the Earl of Yiyong's Mansion again.

The warm March has passed and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

On the day of General Yang's funeral, the verdict of the lawsuit in the Yiyong Earl's Mansion happened to be announced.

Yiyongbo allowed his slaves to commit crimes, killing more than 20 people from the Li and Wang families. Since Yiyongbo was not the main culprit, he was fined 500 taels of silver and 40 lashes.

Yiyongbo did not actively instruct the village head to rob the real estate of the Li and Wang families, nor did he ask the village head to kill people or burn things. He was not the main culprit, but just did not discipline him strictly. This punishment was already very severe for a family of nobility.

After the verdict was handed down, the village head was beheaded immediately without any hesitation.

The case caused such a big stir that the emperor also heard about it.

Zhao Xi thought that the dying General Yang was Yiyongbo's son-in-law, so without thinking too much, he directly ordered Yiyongbo to be reprimanded.

The chief eunuch received the imperial edict and left the palace happily.

When the ministers in the court heard the news, they all felt some sympathy for Earl Yiyong. His son-in-law had just died, and he was already old and had been beaten half to death. Now the emperor had sent eunuchs to point at his nose and curse him. How could anyone accept this?

Logically speaking, if you did something wrong, as a minister, there would be nothing to say if you were scolded by the emperor.

However, the emperor certainly could not go and scold him in person, so he had to let the eunuchs do it.

Of course, the emperor would not teach the eunuchs word for word how to scold his subjects or what to scold. At best, he would just give a hint, and the eunuchs could control the intensity according to local circumstances.

However, most eunuchs were illiterate, of humble origins, and physically handicapped with personality disorders. When they cursed, they often did so unexpectedly, poking at people's hearts and exposing their shortcomings. Their curses were vulgar and unpleasant to the ear.

If the minister is scolded once, he may never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life. It would be better to be beaten with a stick instead.

When Earl Yiyong heard the news, he felt like the sky had fallen. However, he could not avoid the scolding, so he could only ask Madam Chen to prepare silver, gold, silver and jewelry quickly.

These money, gold, silver and jewelry were prepared for the eunuchs who came to curse people, in the hope that the eunuchs would be more polite in their words and leave him a little self-respect.

Unfortunately, Yiyong Bo didn't know that the emperor had made a very important statement when he issued the decree: the bigger the commotion, the better, so that others could have a good look at the excitement, which might also be intended as a warning to others.

Eunuch Wu understood His Majesty's intention very well. After he arrived at Earl Yiyong's mansion, he did not enter the gate but stood outside the gate and called Earl Yiyong to come over.

Earl Yiyong's face twitched, and he endured the pain in his buttocks, grabbed Eunuch Wu's hand, and greeted him with a smile, but in fact he stuffed a handful of silver bills into Eunuch Wu's hand.

Eunuch Wu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and calmly put the banknote away.

Do you think Eunuch Wu won't scold you after he took the money?

That's totally wrong. The emperor's words are golden and everyone is watching. Even if he receives more silver from Earl Yiyong, he cannot let him go.

He cleared his throat, first conveyed the emperor's order, then pinched his throat and cursed:

"Chen Zhongshi, you are worse than pigs and dogs, you deserve to be put to death! You look like a pig, you let your slaves commit crimes and killed so many people, you are just like Pan Jinlian crying for Wu Dalang, you have a kind face but a vicious heart, you are a chicken wearing a gown and a dog wearing a hat, a beast in human clothing..."

Yiyongbo's head made a buzzing sound and he could not hear anything. His face turned red and he lowered his head. He did not dare to raise his eyes to see how other people were looking at him.

Eunuch Wu was the most suitable person to do this job specially selected by the chief steward. He had a sharp and thin voice, and his curses could be heard throughout the whole street.

He pinched his throat and cursed continuously without stopping.

The people around who were watching the fun heard it clearly and started talking about it.

"Oh my goodness, the emperor would curse like this? These words are too..." vulgar...

The man didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone around him knew what he meant.

"How could it be possible that the emperor came up with this? These are words that the eunuchs came up with on their own. They are a bit vulgar, but they do hit the point."

"I think it's right to scold. I heard that Yiyong Bo's servants burned two families to death, more than 20 people! Even newborn babies were not spared!"

"He deserves to be scolded. For those few acres of land, he killed and burned people. Yiyong Bo was only scolded, but those two families lost their lives!"

Among these onlookers, there were not only common people, but also nobles in the capital who had sent people to watch.

The emperor would reprimand his subjects once or twice a year, but he would always do so inside the house. He would never do so outside the gate. It was truly rare, and it also broadened the horizons of the common people.

Mrs. Chen hid inside the gate with her children and servants.

It wasn't because they were too embarrassed to go out, but in order to make the head of the family look better, they hid inside after receiving the order.

"You damned old beast, you have lost all conscience and are so heartless..."

Eunuch Wu cursed for a full half hour without repeating a single word.

Yiyongbo had never felt time so unbearable before, and his old face was burning.

His face was torn off, shredded, and thrown on the ground, where it was stepped on again and again.

No matter how ashamed and angry Yiyongbo was, he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God.

This is not just talk.

Yiyongbo stood in front of Eunuch Wu, his back became more and more bent and he became shorter and shorter.

After a while, Eunuch Wu finally finished scolding.

Eunuch Wu shook his sleeves and left without even looking at Earl Yiyong.

Immediately afterwards, Earl Yiyong covered his face with his hands and walked slowly into the gate of the Earl's mansion.

The onlookers started talking again, and only after the door of the Bo's house was closed did they disperse in groups of three or four.

Before leaving, the discussions had not yet died down.

The servants who were sent by the noble families in the capital to inquire about the news also returned to their homes and followed their masters' lead.

After the adults in each family heard the eunuch's curses, they all fell silent.

Who could stand being pointed at and scolded by a eunuch in public?

For a time, the ministers in the court became much more obedient and no longer dared to compete with the emperor in the court.

After all, if you accidentally anger the emperor and are reprimanded in public, you will lose all your face.

And be laughed at by those ordinary people!

Shen Rong usually doesn't go out, so it was Zhang Liuniang who brought the news.

"Oh my God, the royal family is so down-to-earth! Ordinary people wouldn't be able to stand being pointed at and scolded like this! What's more, he is a great uncle!" Shen Rong's face was full of disbelief.

Zhang Liuniang was very pleased. "Who said it wasn't true? I went to see it myself. The eunuch cursed very eloquently. His voice was so sharp and thin that the whole street could hear it. Moreover, the imperial edict also said that Earl Yiyong would be fined a year's salary!"

Shen Rong sighed, "People are born into different classes. More than 20 lives are only worth this much."

When Zhang Liuniang heard this, the smile on her face disappeared, "Who said it wasn't true?"

She and her daughter were sold, and her daughter almost lost her life. After many calculations, she was able to get back a little. This world is so unfair!
