Song Mingyue

Chapter 159
Seeing Zhao Hao rushing towards him with his sword drawn, the servants around Yang Jian were shocked and hurried forward to protect Yang Jian.

The two servants had just pulled out their waist knives, only to hear the sword light flicker, followed by two puffs.

The two arms and the long knife fell to the ground with a thud, and blood sprayed out from the place where the arm was severed, and a strong smell of blood instantly filled the air.

Hey~
The two servants let out a miserable howl, and retreated repeatedly, clutching their broken arms.

All the servants originally wanted to pretend to be awe-inspiring, but now that Zhao Hao hurt people if he disagreed, they retreated and hid beside Yang Jian's warm sedan chair, their expressions full of horror.

Yang Jian's face was full of shock, he never dreamed that his opponent would be so ruthless at such a young age, like a murderer, he was relentless in his moves, as crisp as breaking someone's arm.

In his impression, there are not many sons of the clan like Zhao Hao who dare to kill a chicken, how dare they kill?But what he doesn't know is that Zhao Hao has not only experienced life and death assassinations, but also experienced wars against rebellion. He has seen the bloody scenes of tens of thousands of people fighting fiercely, and seen the desolate scene with piles of bones, let alone hurting people. , What is the point of killing a few dead eunuchs?
At this moment, he finally understood why Cai Jing wanted everyone not to provoke Zhao Hao as much as possible. This guy is simply a lunatic, no, he is a devil!
He looked at Zhao Hao holding a blood-dripping long sword and approaching him with a murderous look. He had already lost the slightest bit of energy. He didn't even want to play the prestige of a first-rank official. He was so shocked that he screamed: "He's crazy , retreat quickly, I am going to report to the officials to decide!"

While shouting, they almost rolled and crawled into the warm sedan chair, and then a group of people exited the imperial city's yamen as if fleeing desperately.

Just now, he was arrogant and flamboyant, and did not take Zhao Hao's deeds of the sixth grade in his eyes. He was crushed to death on the ground like an ant, and his body was slowly hardening.

The two broken arms holding the knife fell to the ground, spilling blood all over the ground.

The majestic first-rank official, the confidant of the official family, the grand master Yang Jian, who was respected by all civil and military officials in the court, was actually forced to retreat by Zhao Hao's sword, and fled away in fright like a bereaved dog.

At this moment, everyone knew what kind of existence stood in front of them.

This sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy looks like a scholar, but he is like a demon king when he initiates it. He controls their life and death at any time without any nonsense. Even the domineering Yang Jian dare not do this...

Those who arrived at the point early were very grateful in their hearts.

And those who were late on purpose, their guts are green with regret at this moment, God knows how this cruel boss will deal with him?
Just blame them for messing with the wrong guy...

Cheng Qun was originally a civil servant, and he was familiar with poetry and books, but he didn't know how to write the word backbone, so he kowtowed his head on the ground and begged in a trembling voice: "Younger Dianmao is late, I would like to be punished according to the rules, please remind me." Forgive me, my lord!"

Although it was said that the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats, and Cheng Qun just couldn't do it, at most he was responsible.But this kid is sixteen or seventeen years old, he is a stunned young man, and he holds the sword of the emperor, he can cut first and then play. If he has already killed one person, he is not afraid of killing another one. Uglier than Chen Di.

There was a look of disgust in Zhao Hao's eyes. To be honest, Zhao Hao looked down on most of the literati at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty. They were intriguing, scrambling for power, corrupting the law, and doing everything, but they rarely had the character that a literati should have.A literati like Cheng Qun is lying on the ground like a dog and begging for mercy, but if he is given a chance to succeed, he will still be so proud that he doesn't know what his mother's last name is.

Li Tong was a bit reserved as a military official, although his face was ashen, but he just prostrated himself on the ground and didn't kowtow.

The rest of the commanders were all shocked and kowtowed along with Cheng Qun.

Originally, it was not a big deal, it was nothing more than a staff responsibility, but in this critical period, the situation is different.This Zhao Tiju came here with the Sword of the Son of Heaven to investigate the case of rebellion. He is regarded as an imperial envoy. To block you and investigate the case is tantamount to rebellion.

Now the emperor is furious and everyone is in danger. In this special period, even if you know that you died unjustly, who will avenge you?
Zhao Hao sat back on the top of the lobby, slapped the gavel, and shouted in a majestic and angry voice: "When you play Chen Di, you can't see the law. The purpose of this crime is to prevent the official from investigating the case of treason. , I hold the sword of the Son of Heaven, you can cut it first and then play it, and I have already punished it on the spot, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

Originally, there were six activities, civil servants and eunuchs were all six ranks, military officials were seven ranks (you can see it everywhere), Chen Di is a rank six official, even if Zhao Hao is several ranks higher than Chen Di, even if Chen Di really committed a crime, Zhao Hao Hao can only be arrested and questioned according to legal procedures, and please beheaded, not to mention that Chen Di can't do it at all, at most he can only be punished. Zhao Hao's murder on the spot is actually a crime.

However, Zhao Hao lightly said that "it is tantamount to treason", which is almost the same as the crime of "unnecessary", so he sentenced Chen Di to death, and relying on the privilege of "beheading first and playing later", the dignified official of the sixth grade died in vain...

"Cheng Qun and Li Tong are suspected of obstructing the case with Chen Di. They should have been arrested and questioned. Considering their first offence, they will be punished one hundred times according to the rule of thumb; the rest of the commanders will be fined." If they don’t, they’re also collaborating in violating the rules, and they’re also suspected of obstructing the handling of the case. When you think about employing someone at the moment, you’ll be punished with a staff of ten, and the rest will be temporarily recorded to see the effect later.”

Cheng Qun and Li Tong, although their faces were filled with fear, did not dare to show the slightest intention to resist. If the executor was merciful, they would probably be hurt. Don't even think about it for half a month. go out.As for the other commanders, they were relieved and willing to accept the punishment.

It's not that Zhao Hao is being soft-handed, but he's new here, and he doesn't want to suppress him too hard all at once.Especially those subordinate officers and commanders, if they were suppressed too hard, in case something went wrong, he, Zhao Hao, couldn't bear it and walked around.

The personal servants are the people who are closest to the emperor. If they are forced to be harsh, and a few personal servants rebelled during Renzong's time and almost killed the emperor, it would be a big joke.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Hao replaced the positions of Cheng Qun and Chen Di with Kuai Xing and Chang Xing respectively, and transferred his original duties of personal servant and marriage officer to the other two swindlers, Li Quan. And Zhang Ren...the loyalty and favorability of these two people are both higher than 50.

Sure enough, the two associates originally had a lukewarm attitude towards Zhao Hao, but now they are suddenly sent by the most lucrative and powerful dispatch besides the promotion, and their favorability and loyalty have instantly exceeded 60. His attitude became more and more respectful.

Fang Baihua, Zhao Dian, Wu Song, and Daoist Aoki naturally became the heads of marriage officials.

There is no rank in Dutou, only minor officials, so Zhao Hao has the right to appoint and dismiss, and the higher ranks are officials, so there is a strict appointment and dismissal system, which is not within the scope of Zhao Hao's power.Although Chen Di has been killed by him first, but he does not have the right to appoint and remove new activities, he only has the right to recommend at most.

The marriage officer is responsible for spying, investigation, spying and other work, which is exactly what Zhao Hao wants to control. Sooner or later, the four of them will be commanders.

As for the matter of being an official, Zhao Hao didn't dare to arrange for four imperial prisoners to mix in, especially Fang Baihua. What if this girl disguised as a man went crazy and killed the emperor while she was close to Zhao Ji? Just opened up.

Zhao Hao, who was an official for the first time, used a brutal, simple and effective method to gain a firm foothold in the prestigious Imperial City Division within half a day and initially controlled the power. Minion institutions still have a long way to go.

As for the deflated Yang Jian, he walked around the gate of Yanfu Palace, but he didn't dare to go to the officials to argue. Although Yang Jian was domineering, he was not a brainless person.

When Zhao Ji was assassinated for the first time, he was in a rage, how dare he touch this bad luck?He pretended to be aggressive in front of Zhao Hao, just because he wanted to bully Zhao Hao who was young and had a low rank, but when he met the arrogant Zhao Hao who acted wildly on him, he could only admit it... At this time, he went to the officials to make an argument, and the officials asked about it The reason is that in a fit of rage, he might be abolished, or even listed as a rebellious party.He is not a scholar-bureaucrat, and the result of falling out of favor is a dead end. How could he not have a point in his heart?

……

Heaven Prison.

Zhao Hao changed his vermilion official robe and put on an ordinary scholar's uniform. Accompanied by Zhao Dian, Fang Baihua, Liang Lie and others, he turned around the capital almost halfway around the capital, and only then did he reach the purpose of his trip. Ground - sky prison.

Relying on the badge of Huangcheng Division, Zhao Hao and his party successfully entered the deep sky prison, twisted and turned, and arrived at the deepest cell where they were held alone.

Raising his hand to repel the prisoner who followed, Zhao Hao slowly stepped in, as if afraid of waking up the people sleeping inside.

But he still woke up with a start, only to hear a low voice: "It's very early to deliver food today!"

Zhao Hao didn't make a sound, but stopped in his tracks, and looked coldly into the cell fence, only to see a person wearing shackles and shackles, lying on the straw, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

The man heard the sound outside the prison cell, he didn't make a sound, he was stunned for a moment, turned his head, showing a face with messy beard and hair, he could vaguely see that it was the Song Taiwei who had been imprisoned for half a month, and the front of the palace. Commander, Gao Qiu!

Gao Qiu raised his head in astonishment, looked at Zhao Hao, and suddenly jumped up like an electric shock, and rushed towards Zhao Hao, but hit the fence with the shackles together, making the guy dizzy for a while.

Gao Qiu forced himself to stand firm, pointed at Zhao Hao, and suddenly let out a terrible howl: "It's you, it's you, it must be you!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the fence door again and shook it vigorously. Gao Lian's force was not low, but now he went crazy, shaking the cell so loudly that it seemed that it could collapse at any time.

Zhao Hao felt disgusted, and suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked in through the gap in the fence, hitting Gao Qi's chest, kicking Gao Qi by surprise, backed up a few steps, and fell to the ground.

This kick seemed to wake Gao Qiu awake. Instead of going mad, he stood up slowly, with endless resentment and murderous intent in his eyes, and ran to the fence again, pointing at Zhao Hao and cursing: "You The evildoer, secretly harming me, pretending that I don't know?"

Zhao Hao smiled coldly, did not speak, just looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

Seeing that this guy used to show off his might and secretly tricked him to kill him, and now he is a prisoner, Zhao Hao couldn't help feeling a burst of inexplicable joy and relief in his heart.

In life, one should be happy to repay kindness and hatred, to repay kindness with kindness, and to repay grievances with resentment!
Gao Qiu continued to roar: "In the paddock, I personally led the imperial guards in front of the palace, and searched several times in a carpet-like manner. How did I hide hundreds of soldiers and horses? Why did the soldiers and horses of the regicide rebellion even have stirrups and horseshoes?" None? Why did I capture more than a dozen captives, and suddenly they disappeared without a trace?"

After a series of pressing questions, Gao Qiu's eyes showed a ferocious and terrifying look, and he stared at Zhao Hao intently, trying to find some flaws in his face.

But Zhao Hao didn't move, he just looked at him with pity.

"After thinking about it, although I, Gao Qiu, have offended many people in my life, you, Zhao Hao, are the one who has had the deepest enmity recently. You were also the one who discovered the rebel army first! In the end, it is you, Zhao Hao, who benefited the most! I also heard that you used sorcery in the palace to confuse the officials, so it must be your sorcery!"

The analysis really made some sense, but it's a pity... Zhao Hao will never let him spread these words again!
Zhao Hao smiled tentatively, with a bit of cruel pleasure, slowly turned around, and ordered to Priest Aoki: "The crime of Gao Qiu seems to be suspected of escaping from prison, you hold my token Waiting here, without my order, no one is allowed to approach it, let alone talk to it, or interrogate it!"

"Here!" Daoist Qingmu respectfully said.

The current loyalty of this guy has risen to over 75, which is enough to be trusted for the time being.

When Gao Qiu in the cell heard this, he became violent again in an instant, shook the fence desperately again, and shouted, "Let me out, I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Hao turned around coldly.

Daoist Qingmu was originally a vicious person, so he naturally has thousands of ways to deal with Gao Qiu, so don't worry.
