Emperor of Hongshi

"Who are you talking about?" Hong Shi couldn't believe it. People who were alive and well yesterday were dead today. I'm afraid it would be hard for anyone to accept this matter.

"Go and have a look!" Junqing sighed, and walked over there first.

Hong Shi frowned and followed, and after pushing through the crowd, he found the bearded man lying on the ground last night with a bloody gash on his neck, probably because he had been dead for a long time, and the blood had already turned black.

The bearded man's eyes were wide open. Although the brilliance was gone, shock could still be seen in his eyes, and his mouth was still slightly open.

Junqing looked at the bearded body, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he was killed with a single blow, they also knew the martial arts of this bearded man, although he was not a top-notch swordsman, his saber skills were very domineering. It is impossible for him to be killed with a single blow if he is not extremely strong in martial arts or someone he trusts.

If it was really a person with high martial arts skills, with such a fierce and fast swordsmanship, I am afraid that the opponent's martial arts skills will not be inferior to his.

Hongshi looked at the bearded man's body, and he also saw that the man was killed with a knife, but his focus was different from Junqing's. He was not guessing the opponent's martial arts, but observing the wound on the bearded man's neck , that is, the opponent's weapon.

Although the bearded man was lying on the ground, there was not a lot of blood gushing out from the surroundings. Apart from the extremely fast technique of the opponent, there was also a large part of the reason because of the opponent's weapon.

It can be seen from his wound that the opponent used a sword as thin as a cicada's wing. This kind of sword has a very thin blade, and it is usually a waist sword hidden in the belt.

Under normal circumstances with this kind of weapon, if you don't pay attention, you may not be able to see the opponent's weapon at all.

This case seems to be the work of Jianghu people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve it.

Just as Hongshi was thinking, there was a noise coming from the entrance of the inn, and then a pair of yamen servants rushed in and surrounded the place.

It seems that someone has reported the case, and the people from the yamen have arrived.

After a leading yamen servant came in, he asked people to carry the bearded man out, and then began to inquire about the situation. When he heard that the bearded man had a conflict with Hiroshi yesterday, and they had a big fight, he asked them to take them away. Back to Yamen.

Hongshi was taken aback for a moment, but before he recovered, he was grabbed by his hands behind his back and pushed out, and the other yamen servants on the side had already stepped forward and grabbed Junqing as well.

After walking a long distance, Hongshi realized that the other party was going to take him to the Yamen?

Junqing walked over to Hongshi's side slowly, and then said slowly: "It seems that there is something wrong now, and I don't know when we will be able to reach the west."

"I can't help it. Those who should come can't hide even if they want to." Hongshi didn't expect it, but yesterday he had a conflict with someone, and then the other party died immediately, and they were arrested. It was really very sad.

Hongshi originally thought they were just arresting him and Junqing, but when he got to the lobby and saw Jing Yu and Zi Ling, he was dumbfounded.

Cooperating with them, they were all brought here, the yamen servant who pressed them pushed them to the court, and then turned around and retreated to the back.

Hongshi rubbed his sore arms, frowned and looked around, only to see an old man with cloudy eyes, wearing an official uniform, coming out of it.

Well, just looking at this posture, you can tell that this guy is probably not a good guy!

Sure enough, the old man went to the top one, and he said something directly without interrogation, because they were unwilling to be reconciled to the provocation of the beard last night, they came out in the middle of the night and took the opportunity to kill him, and then began to pronounce the sentence to push us into the back hall, the autumn queen beheaded.

As the old man said that, he immediately changed hands to get the red sign on the table. Hongshi couldn't bear it any longer, so he yelled "Wait a minute."

Hearing Hongshi's shout, the old man finally raised his head, looked at Hongshi with cloudy eyes, and asked unsteadily, "Do you have any last words to say?"

Hongshi just glanced at him coldly, and then asked: "Is this how adults usually try cases? They don't even look at the corpses, just listen to what his subordinates say, and don't even investigate, just pronounce judgment on others Is it the death penalty?"

Hongshi said this very loudly, even the people outside the hearing shouted loudly, yes, yes, yes.

It is estimated that this old man did not do any good things at ordinary times, so many people did not like his trial. On the contrary, there were voices of support for Hongshi in the crowd.

The old man gave Hongshi a hard look, then slammed the gavel in his hand, and cursed at Hongshi angrily: "Presumptuous, I'm trying to judge the case, how can you be a troublesome talker, come on!" People, drag this troublemaker who disturbed the court to me and beat him fifty times."

After the old man roared angrily, he threw the red stick in his hand. Immediately, two yamen servants stood behind Hongshi and were about to attack him. The yamen servant kicked it a long way before he fell to the ground in a parabolic motion.

"Presumptuous, you rascals, have you turned against the sky?" The old man stretched out his hand and pointed at Hongshi and the others tremblingly, "Come here, take it down for me!"

The actions of Hongshi and the others hurt the old man's self-esteem just now, so the old man shouted loudly regardless, telling people to take down Hongshi and the others quickly.

"I'll see who dares to do it!" Hong Shi was also very angry with the old man, and said sharply, and then directly took out the gold medal and put it in front of the old man's eyes.

"I was ordered by the emperor to go to the west to provide disaster relief. By the way, I inspected various places. My lord obstructed me in so many ways and wanted to kill me. Is it because you have evil intentions, or do you mean that you don't take the emperor seriously at all?"

Hongshi's righteous words frightened the old man, and when he saw the gold medal in his hand, the old man and the servants around him immediately knelt down and shouted long live.

After all, the imperial envoy represents the imperial court and the emperor, and no one can offend at will.

Yao Yong is almost remorseful now, a good imperial envoy, why is he pretending to be an ordinary citizen, and even got into conflicts with others, if he knew it was his boss, he wouldn't dare to offend the other party even if he had ten guts !

Yao Yong quickly ran to Hongshi in a hurry, kowtowed and begged for mercy, he really didn't mean it.

Originally, Hongshi hated this kind of country moth deeply, and then saw that the other party behaved like this, and he didn't even try the case when he encountered a case, so he just handled the case in a muddle. Of course, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

"Master Yao, right? Where did your arrogance go just now?" Hongshi looked ironically at Yao Yong who had been kowtowing at his feet, and his words were full of thorns.

Even though Yao Yong was feeling uncomfortable, he didn't dare to offend Hongshi casually at this meeting, and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, "Forgive me, my lord, I really didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't expect it to be my lord, otherwise how dare I do this, I really know my mistake, sir, please forgive me!"

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that this official is not an imperial envoy today, so he deserves to be executed by you? Is this how you handle cases? This official just bumps into each other occasionally, and you are so confused. You didn't know before. How many crimes have you committed?"

When Hongshi heard that Yao Yong was still unrepentant, and was still slickly exonerating himself, he was furious all of a sudden, and looked at Yao Yong in front of him angrily, wishing he could kick him to death.

Yao Yong was shaken even more by Hongshi, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Said that he was just confused for a while, and he handled a muddled case, and the previous cases were fine.

Hongshi didn't look at him at all, but just stared coldly at the other yamen servants on the side.

All the yamen servants lowered their heads very low, as if they didn't dare to look at Hongshi.

On the contrary, a group of onlookers outside looked inside in amazement. The person who had been sentenced to death suddenly transformed into an imperial envoy. This surprised many people, and they continued to watch.

Everyone has the heart to gossip, not to mention those who have nothing to do and just watch the fun, they will be more excited to watch it now.

"Okay, since it was just a moment of confusion just now, let's try the case again, so that I can see how you handle the case when you are not confused."

Seeing Yao Yong not crying when he saw the coffin, Hongshi laughed angrily, and asked him to continue the trial.

"This..." Yao Yong couldn't say a word after talking for a long time.

Hongshi was really impatient to wait, so he simply raised his head and asked, "Why, is there something wrong with Mr. Yao? Or do you need some help?"

"No, no, no." Yao Yong rubbed the cold sweat on his forehead, then looked at Hong Shi tremblingly, and stood up tremblingly, "Yes, I will retry the case now."

Yao Yong went up tremblingly, sat down at the table, and just yelled to show the imperial envoy his seat.

Hongshi frowned and stopped the yamen servant who was going to move the chair, instead he looked at Yao Yong, "I'm an observer, so my lord will be promoted as usual, don't worry about me."

Seeing that Hongshi was soft and hard, Yao Yong smiled awkwardly, then picked up the gavel with trembling hands, and looked at the corpse on the ground.

He really didn't know what to do now, not to mention the fact that there was no plaintiff and defendant. He heard the yamen servant talk about the situation just now, and he wanted to close the case quickly, which is why what happened to Hongshi and the others just now happened.

But this will drive the ducks to the shelves, he really doesn't know what to do, so he can only sit here in a daze.

Hongshi looked at him coldly, although he really wanted to teach Yao Yong a good lesson, but the other party was a parent official after all, so he still had to save the face that should be given.

"Actually, even if I really killed this person, not only am I innocent, but I should get a reward of 100 taels."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the courtroom, Hongshi spoke directly.

As soon as these words came out, not only Yao Yong was stupid, but even the other people around looked at him in a daze.

Except for Jun Qing and Jing Yu, who had a smile on their faces, everyone else looked at Hong Shi inexplicably, waiting for his next words.
