Chapter 137 The Second King's Case 3
Yuan Gongyu's official position is not high, but it's just the Shaoqing of Dali Temple under the fourth grade, but Li Xian does not dare to underestimate him at all, because Li Xian knows that Yuan Gongyu, who looks like a bad old man in front of him, is not an ordinary person, but one of the four King Kongs under the rear seat of Wu. Although he ranks at the bottom, his reputation is far less than Xu Jing. Zong, Li Yifu and Cui Yixuan came to be prominent, but they were cruel but not inferior to the first three at all. Sun Wuji, the high-ranking uncle who was a high-ranking state, died at the hands of this person. From the initial design to the final forced by Changsun Wuji, it was all from Yuan Gongyu's handwriting. The whole plan was linked to another until Changsun Wuji was forced to die. The powerful Changsun Wuji and Zhu Suiliang Group were completely destroyed under this series of blows. Although there was the cooperation of the other three major King Kongs, Yuan Gongyu was the real maker and even the executor of this package, no matter how loyal and treacherous he was. The depth of intelligent arithmetic is an indisputable fact. In fact, the reason why Empress Wu can control Dali Temple depends on Yuan Gongyu. In other words, this person is the object that Li Xian wants to focus on this time. If he can inspire him to rise out, the strike plan is half successful, which is really worth Li Xian's secret fun.
"What does Yuan Shaoqing mean by this? Do you also intend to resist the decree and not comply?
Seeing Yuan Gongyu stand up, although Li Xian was secretly excited, in the face of such cunning and wise people, Li Xian did not dare to take it lightly. He snorted quietly and buckled a big hat.
"Your Highness's words are serious, and the subordinates dare not be rude and illegal."
As soon as Yuan Gongyu heard Li Xian's bad words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, but he was not panicked. He took half a step back, bowed himself, and replied in a flat tone, but this sentence was obviously full of irony.
"Yuan Shaoqing is an old punishment. Xiao Wang also thinks that Yuan Shaoqing should not be rude and illegal, but Xiao Wang doesn't understand why Yuan Shaoqing hinders Xiao Wang from doing the order. If he doesn't deliberately disobey the order, is he dissatisfied with Xiao Wang?" Li Xian was so shrewd that he couldn't hear Yuan Gongyu's words with hidden needles, but he didn't care at all. He didn't understand it at all. He glanced at Yuan Gongyu coldly and asked step by step.
"The subordinate dares not, but the court has its own law. Please forgive the illegal punishment and dare not agree with it."
The fire of Dali Temple was strange. Yuan Gongyu himself did not know much about the inside story. What's more, because the Li Xian brothers came too fast, he could not get the news from the palace, and he couldn't tell whether this matter was ordered by the Empress Wu or not. He just vaguely felt that the matter was not that simple, so he encouraged him to The officials of Dali Temple quarreled with Li Xian and tried to force the Li Xian brothers with an uncooperative attitude, so as to win time for adjustment and respite. However, they never thought that Li Xian dared to act so decisively and was ready to treat Qiu Shenfu in public, which was beyond the bottom limit that Yuan Gongyu could accept. After all, Qiu Shenfu was a blessing. According to his Yuan Gongyu's order, if he is really beaten by Li Xian in public, and he Yuan Gongyu is powerless to help, the hearts of the officials of Dali Temple will be scattered. In case they are defeated by the Li Xian brothers again, there is no doubt that this is obviously not a consequence that Yuan Gongyu can afford. At this time, Seeing that Li Xian was so aggressive, Yuan Gongyu's face immediately became a little gloomy and said hard.
"Illegal punishment? Please forgive Xiao Wang's stupidity. I really don't know what Yuan Shaoqing means. Please ask Yuan Shaoqing to make it clear. Li Xian raised his eyebrows, looked at Yuan Gongyu with a puzzled face, and asked inexplicably in surprise.
Li Xian made it clear that he was pretending to be confused, but even so, Yuan Gongyu had nothing to do with Li Xian and had to answer with a straight face: "Your Highness, the emperor's will is only a thorough investigation, and there is no conviction. They are all court officials, and they should act with the two highnesses. However, if we are detained without authorization, However, it is not in line with the etiquette. They dare not follow this order. What Qiu Dalicheng said is not based on the truth. How can he be punished because of his words?
"Wonderful, wonderful! I have heard that Yuan Shaoqing can speak well for a long time. It is rare to see the edge of Yuan Shaoqing in the court. Today, Xiao Wang admires and admires it. Li Xian was not angry because of Yuan Gongyu's contradiction. Instead, he laughed and casually threw the horizontal knife in his hand to the bodyguard standing aside. He applauded and praised happily.
"I dare not. I just want to tell the truth."
In the face of Li Xian's praise, Yuan Gongyu not only did not relax, but also felt a little more cautious. He quietly thanked him, but his spirit tightened up.
"To tell the truth? What a truth!" As expected by Yuan Gongyu, Li Xian's face suddenly sank, and his original smiling face was so gloomy that it could almost drip out of water in an instant. He awe-inspiringly refuted: "Why did my father order a thorough investigation? It's not only because the Dali Temple hides dirt, and the accumulated malpractices are deep. If you don't thoroughly investigate, you can't see the Qingming. If you don't think about yourself, you dare to make a lot of noise when you announce the decree. Regardless of the evil deeds such as dereliction of duty and corruption, this alone is a great crime. Qiu Dalicheng shouted in public, took the officials hostage, and tried to abscond. His heart should be killed. I hit his board. How can it be worse? Yuan Shaoqing obstructed me. Do you really want to resist the order in public, huh?"
"Your Highness acts so Meng Lang, please forgive the subordinates not to respond to his orders. Now Your Highness is forced to do so. The subordinates can't stop it, but His Highness can't stop the subordinates, and His Majesty is free to make clear about right and wrong." Seeing that he couldn't argue with Li Xian, Yuan Gongyu had to turn his heart and said in a loud voice.
"Yuan Shaoqing, please do your own. Come and drag Qiu Shenfu down the hall and hit the thirty boards again!" Li Xian did not eat Yuan Gongyu's behavior at all. He waved his hand rudely. Regardless of how ugly Yuan Gongyu's face was, he shouted loudly and ordered the execution. At this order, the guards of the royal palace, who had already held Qiu Shenfu, did not dare to neglect it. In addition to respond loudly, they dragged the paralyzed Qiu Shenfu down to the hall.
"Your Highness, you, you, you..."
Yuan Gongyu didn't expect that Li Xian really dared to do it. At that moment, he was so angry that he trembled all over, and his mouth twitched and couldn't say a complete word.
Li Xian ignored Yuan Gongyu at all. He strode to Li Xian, who was also panicked because he didn't expect Li Xian to be so cruel. He arched his hand and said, "Sixth brother, the peripheral defense has been completed. Please stop it clearly."
"Ah, oh, okay, the seventh brother is doing things. I can believe it. Good, very good." Li Xianzheng panicked and answered. He couldn't help but be a little absent-minded and incoherent.
This guy really can't calm down! Naturally, Li Xian knew that Li Xian was worried about something, but he was too lazy to explain. He smiled indifferently, nodded, and then stood next to Li Xian, standing silently, looking at all kinds of wonderful faces of officials with great interest - the guards of the King of Zhou's Mansion were all fighting men, although the "business" of playing the board was not He was proficient, but he was extremely ruthless. With a board down, he beat Qiu Shenfu to death. At the beginning, the howl was still as loud as that of killing pigs. At the end, there was only the sound of "crackling" meat. As for Qiu Shenfu, he had already fainted. Such a miserable situation made a lot of officials of Dali Temple. They all look as white as paper.
"Your Highness, the execution is over!"
More than a quarter of an hour later, several palace guards walked up the lobby with the soft and collapsed Qiu Shenfu and put it on the ground. The leading bodyguard rushed to report to the Li Xian brothers.
"Recede!"
Li Xian is also quite a timid person, but he has never seen such a scene. When he saw Qiu Shenfu's miserable blood stains all over, his face turned white in an instant. But at this moment, he did not dare to be very timid. He could only suppress the panic in his heart and waved his hand and ordered, but his expression was still stiff. It's just that there are a few traces of trills in the voice.
"Sixth brother, my father only gave a ten-day deadline. If there is a slight delay, I'm afraid it will be a mistake." Seeing that Li Xian was a little confused, Li Xian quickly said from the side.
"What the seventh brother said is very true. Come on, please ask all the officials of Dali Temple to rest and cheer up and serve the lonely students!" After being reminded by Li Xian, Li Xian immediately woke up and gave the order with a straight face.
"No!"
With Li Xian's order, the guards of the King of Zhou's Mansion were not polite and flocked to the court. They rudely asked a group of officials of Dali Temple to go to the court. The poor people had just been deterred by the tragic situation of Qiu Shenfu. Now they are panicking. In the face of the strength of the Li Xian brothers, no matter how dissatisfied they are, what? If you dare to be very different, you can only be reluctantly detained. Even Yuan Gongyu and Hou Shanye, two young ministers, dare not stand up at this time.
"Seventh brother, this thing, tut, this thing..."
After everyone retreated, Li Xian, who was still able to stand his face, immediately couldn't calm down. He wanted to blame Li Xian for acting Meng Lang, but he couldn't pull down that face. After all, it was Li Xian who helped him stabilize the situation that was about to collapse. He was extremely relieved, for fear that Li Xian would beat Qiu in public this time. The matter of Shenfu will cause a big disaster. Under such a contradictory mind, I don't know what to say for a while.
"Sixth brother doesn't need to worry too much. There is no doubt that Qiu Shenfu will die. The little brother has had all kinds of bad deeds of this person in his hand. His death can't escape. As for the thorough investigation of the case of Dali Temple, it is not urgent. It is necessary to sort it out well. I'm afraid that this arson case will have to be intensified. Otherwise, I'm afraid I really can't communicate with my father. It's replaced." Li Xian hesitated and didn't say anything, but Li Xian understood what he had said, so he explained with a smile.
"Well, okay, let's solve the arson case first. Let's go and have a look later!"
After Li Xian's face changed for a long time, he also felt that what Li Xian said was reasonable and no longer delayed. With a wave of his big sleeve, he hurried to the backyard. Seeing this, Li Xian smiled, shrugged his shoulders carelessly, and slowly followed...
