Chapter 241 Ming Canon Punishment
Not only Sun Jifeng, but also Bishop Kant looked at Cheng Jinzhou with strange expressions.

Lu Xu said with a wicked smile: "The bishop likes to collect corpses, but you want to be the county magistrate?"

To be able to defeat a third-level star warlock, cooperate to defeat a fourth-level star warlock, and still be a county magistrate, in the eyes of normal star warlocks, it is indeed abnormal.Lu Xu used a rather parallelistic tone.

On the contrary, Bishop Kant felt that Cheng Jinzhou had eccentricities, but he was more appetizing. He glanced at him appreciatively, and then refuted Lu Xu: "I only collect the corpses of star warlocks above level [-], not those of lower level."

Listening to the taste of his words, it seems that he is talking about something tasteful.

Cheng Jinzhou sat on Lu Xu's neck, put his fingers on his legs, tapped rhythmically, and said: "As a responsible nobleman, I am still willing to contribute to the court."

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't refuse, so he signaled the following with his eyes.Although he doesn't know what Cheng Jinzhou wants the county to do, but giving a priest of Chenguang or an astrologer the post of county magistrate, isn't it equivalent to cracking the earth to seal the king?If other astrologers follow suit in the future, what's the point of him sitting on the throne.

Coupled with the fact that he was still looking forward to the arrival of the Royal Astromancer, or the quasi-Royal Astromancer, his attitude became very ambiguous.The application of dragging formulas is not only used by officials, but also by His Majesty the Emperor.

In his view, the astrologers in the outer peninsula at least hoped for a balanced political situation.Out of need, His Majesty the Emperor selectively ignored his own actions. His work in recent years has been to break the balance between the imperial court and the astro-warlocks, and turn it into the astro-warlocks' own balance.It's a pity that consultation is not well developed in this era. If His Majesty the Emperor knows that many kingdoms in the Far West have directly perished in the hands of the powerful astromancer, or become a vassal of the astromancer, I don't know how he will thank the situation today.

Sun Jifeng was the most senior civil servant present, and he accidentally saw His Majesty's eyes, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "My lord Star Warlock, even if you are a county magistrate, there are procedures to follow..."

"Give it or not." Cheng Jinzhou said directly.Wrangling is not something he is good at. No matter whether it is level one, two, three or four, the star warlocks and civil servants are competing against each other, which is like a tiger and a cockroach playing a survival game.

Moreover, he was also afraid that several other fourth-level star warlocks would come, and the advantage would not be so obvious by then.The current fight is just a time difference. The astrologists in the outer peninsula don't think he can beat Yang Zhanquan. The time of this journey gives him room to play.But he has no advantage over organizations such as the Astromancer Association.

Sun Jifeng had no choice but to look at His Majesty the Emperor, who waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Hou Wenwu was very clever, stood up immediately, hooked his head, wanted to take the errand and run away.Everyone was wearing similar official uniforms, and the whole province was covered in expensive silks and satins. If Xiao Cheng hadn't noticed him early, maybe he would have let him slip away.

Now, Cheng Jinzhou's eyes lit up, and he sent out a sonic attack with a smile, saying: "Hou Wenwu, you don't need to be busy, others can go."

He is called by his first name.

Among the people who offended him in Daxia, Hou Wenwu was the most hated.Although others blocked his way, strictly speaking, it was considered a conflict of interest.If there is a conflict of interest, there will be a conflict, either with A or with B. As a modern person with a good mentality, the most important thing to consider is that the strength of someone who has a conflict of interest with oneself is often similar to that of oneself. Sometimes they may even be stronger than themselves.If you are itching to hate the conflict of interest every time, it won't take long for your teeth to be worn down.

But Hou Wenwu is different.The so-called character determines destiny, Hou Wenwu, who has a smooth journey, is too arrogant.Of course, if he was in an official-based society, he might still have a chance. After all, he followed closely the biggest power holder in the entire country.But in the world of astro-warlocks, he arrogantly thought that he could look down on low-level astro-warlocks and use them as a stepping stone, but it was his biggest mistake.

Not to mention old sayings such as don't bully the young and poor, even the direct combat power of the star warlocks will make the civil servants with a clear mind shy away.

It's a pity that in Hou Wenwu's life, in his experience, and in his cognition, he didn't pay attention to the first-level astromancer of the past and now.And after the failure, his perseverance made Cheng Jinzhou even more resentful - if Cheng's father really lost his public office because of his conspiracy, it would actually mean that Cheng Jinzhou lost the greatest court support.Civilian groups have their own rules of operation, they can allow corruption, they can allow running officials and selling titles, but the way an official takes off and lands will inevitably determine whether he is eligible to join the cabinet.

Without the background of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinzhou would at best be a great, powerful, and powerful star warlock, but he would not have the huge resources he dreamed of.Ordinary star warlocks may care more about the former, but as an agent of the Star Alliance, he cares more about the latter

The civil servant group is the real group that controls the country's resources.They are not parties but they are more than parties. They don't necessarily have deliberate connections but they support each other.They are real social politicians, like bacteria, good and bad, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and above all, for the human body, they are necessary.Can not be killed, can not do without.In the foreseeable future, unless there is a better political system, the human world will still need civil servants. Unless astrologists want to see uninhabited deserts, chaotic anarchic societies, or the backward productivity of chiefs, they will still need civil servants. civil servants.

No matter how powerful the Star Warlock is, he can kill any civil servant, but he cannot eliminate the civil service system from human society.Just like a doctor can kill any kind of bacteria, but he cannot make the human body free of bacteria (unless the person gives up his basic human rights).

In the history of China, at least two people once wanted to perform a major surgery on the society to get rid of the stubborn bacteria.One is Wu Zetian. She was afraid of the Qingliu of scholars, so she used cruel officials to purge the government, killed and robbed the civil officials, and cut them off like leeks. However, in the end, it was still a duty-bound failure.The second one is Zhu Yuanzhang. His sad youth experience made him want to create a Datong world without corruption. He peeled the day lilies of officials and cleaned the civil servants of the court from beginning to end. After a few years, the entire army was exhausted, either killed or exiled. He set a record of massacring tens of thousands of officials more than once-the officials of the year did not refer to civil servants, but gentlemen of high grade. In other words, Cadres with non-leading positions below the section level are not eligible to be listed.But that's it, before Zhu Yuanzhang's lifetime, the civil service group still thrived.Even Zhu Yuanzhang himself had to create a record, allowing officials who broke the law to work with guilt, because even if they were sentenced to beheaded, someone had to try it, and he couldn't do it all by himself.

The most intolerable thing about Hou Wenwu to Cheng Jinzhou is that he prevented the Cheng family from rising in the civil society.

Poor people must have something to hate.

The clever Hou Wenwu could see the murderous intent in Cheng Jinzhou's eyes. He trembled, kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and used his eyes to ask for help from the surrounding ministers...

But what he waited for was Cheng Jinzhou's voice: "Your Majesty, Hou Wenwu spread rumors several times, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, please behead him in front of the palace, and declare the canonical punishment."

The so-called canonical punishment in the Ming Dynasty means that after the trial by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it can be called justice.It can be said that beheading in front of the palace is completely in conflict with Ming Zhengdian punishment.But if Cheng Jinzhou wants to say this, no one can refute it.

In front of the power, Hou Wenwu's face turned pale with fright, while Cheng Jinzhou's expression was serious.

His Majesty the Emperor was a little reluctant, he liked Hou Wenwu very much. The 14-year-old Jinshi Jidi, coupled with more than ten years of training, can be left to his son to be the prime minister.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to do it himself, so as not to cause a worse influence among scholars, so he simply said: "This is my last request, Your Majesty!"

Hou Wenwu looked at the emperor with pleading eyes, but found that his face was getting colder and his eyes were getting whiter.

Hou Wenwu once again looked at the officials with pleading eyes.

It's a pity that there are no hardcore members of the Hou family and the Lu family present.In other words, even if there were, they would not be from today.

Even if His Majesty Lizong wanted to pardon Hou Wenwu, he still needed the support of the civil servants.After a brief palpitating silence, Li Zong waved his hands and said in a dispirited voice, "Go."

"Your Majesty, the punishment is official." Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to bear the blame. In any era, there is a difference between being forced to kill someone and ordering someone to kill someone.While some hypocrites may seem at first glance, a hypocrite is exactly what society needs.

Xiao Cheng naturally only needs the approval of the society, and has nothing to do with the Qingliu cynical minority.

Therefore, his expression was firm and serious.

A trace of sullenness flashed across the emperor's face, then he said clearly: "Come here, pull Hou Wenwu down and kill him."

Cheng Jinzhou added: "Since rumors have been spread repeatedly, it is not enough to stop them and face the truth."

The emperor was ashamed and indignant, but under Cheng Jinzhou's hint, he had to repeat: "Because of repeated rumors, not beheading is not enough to face the truth, so pull Hou Wenwu down and behead."

His voice was very low, but Cheng Jinzhou didn't care. He covered his eyes with a smile, and said, "Just under the steps."

It is still quiet.

Three or four seconds later, Hou Wenwu hissed fiercely, like a dying beast, and all the civil servant's temperament disappeared in the unnatural trembling.

Cheng Jinzhou still covered his eyes, so as not to see too bloody scenes.

His Majesty Lizong is surrounded by gourd warriors, each of whom is more than 1.9 meters tall, strong and powerful.After confirming His Majesty's intentions, he dragged the shouting Hou Wenwu to the steps.

They don't wear waist knives, but they give full play to their subjective initiative, holding pumpkins and waving them high.

There was a "click".The howling stopped abruptly.
