My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court
Chapter 18 Thunder
Emperor Jingming finally chose to deal with the matter of Captain Ning suing Fang Hongming first.
There's no other reason, he just needs to take it easy.
While this case is being tried, think carefully about how to deal with the matter since Ning Bu Si is a woman's business.
The ministers winked at each other, trying to suppress the emotions in their hearts, and were also thinking about the big show that would happen later.
How should I, as an official, sing?
When Ning Bu Si listed Fang Hongming's crimes one by one, the emperor asked Eunuch Lin to go to the palace gate to bring in the witness.
At this time, Ye Shengxin also came back to his senses.
This time he came to his senses, he heard that the soldiers on the border had to eat inferior quality cotton-padded clothes, swords, and even food because Fang Hongming had embezzled military pay.
In addition to the more than a thousand people who froze to death, last winter some soldiers also suffered from diarrhea because they ate stale grain that had been stored for more than three years.
The medicinal materials for treatment were cheap and ineffective, so the soldiers waited for nearly half a month.
In the end, Ning Bushi had to pay out of his own pocket to buy the best medicinal materials and had them delivered to the military camp in time to avoid more serious consequences.
After figuring out the whole story, Ye Shengxin roared.
[Ahhhh, the soldiers are out there defending our country. They are risking their lives to protect the borders and the people and officials in the rear.]
[The production environment in this world is not good. They are already suffering enough. Fang Hongming dares to deduct money and medical expenses from them, increasing their physical burden.]
[How can such a person still have the nerve to live when so many people died because of this? 】
Ye Shengxin glared at Fang Hongming, whose face was pale and blue, and was filled with rage.
Roaring.
[You can only know a person’s face but not his heart. What right does this corrupt official have to say that I am not qualified to be a fifth-rank official? I deserve to die! ]
[Although I am timid and afraid of death, at least I know that ill-gotten gains are not desirable and that I must never harm innocent people.]
[This guy has a bad character and yet he has the audacity to instruct me and kill so many soldiers. Oh, God, why don't you send down a bolt of lightning to kill this beast in human form? ]
"Boom!"
Just then, a thunder exploded in the cloudless sky.
As if sensing Ye Shengxin's anger, the sound of thunder was loud and echoed across this vast land.
Millions of people were frightened to the point that their scalps went numb and cold sweat broke out on their heads.
Someone brave enough to stick his head out of the window, and saw thick dark clouds overhead.
The wind was howling, and the whole sky seemed to be collapsing.
He was so scared that he quickly closed the window and hid under the quilt.
Countless people noticed something was wrong and at the same time closed their doors and stayed in their homes trembling.
Such a heavy thunder must mean God is angry.
Someone must have done something bad and angered God, so he sent down thunder as punishment.
At this time, dark clouds thousands of miles away were rapidly gathering towards the capital.
In just one stick of incense, the entire capital city fell dark.
The angry gale blew up the clothes of countless court officials in the Golden Palace.
Their hair was disheveled and their hearts were trembling, but they also realized three things very clearly.
——Ye Shengxin should not be provoked.
——You can’t jump on her weak points, that is, the soldiers who are defending their country.
——If Fang Hongming really did this today, he would definitely die.
None of them could plead.
Even though he is an important figure in the Queen Mother's faction.
As this thought came to mind, the thunder in the sky roared again in everyone's ears.
In the center of the hall.
Ning Bu Si felt that the sudden change in weather was very strange, but she had no time to be distracted. After a flash of lightning, she was about to say something.
Zhou Lin was quick to act and dragged him aside by the collar.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning turned again and struck the hall.
Fang Hongming had experience, and when the thunder sounded again, he tried to hide behind others even though he was trembling all over.
But the ministers were not stupid. They moved quickly and avoided his clutches.
The lightning struck Fang Hongming.
At this time, everyone was looking at Fang Hongming, who was lying on the ground, twitching all over, rolling his eyes, and foaming at the mouth.
Although this was not the first time I had seen this scene, I still felt a lingering fear when I saw it again.
Especially this time the thunder punishment was extremely severe. Fang Hongming's skin was directly singed by the electric shock and he no longer looked like a human.
Whether he is still alive needs to be confirmed by the imperial physician.
[Wow, what happened to this Lord Fang? Why was he struck by lightning? ]
Hiding in the crowd, Ye Shengxin covered his mouth and looked at Fang Hongming, who had not a single piece of good meat on his body, feeling very puzzled.
[Is it because I have done too many bad things that the gods can’t stand it and sent down thunder as punishment? 】
"You do not know?"
Prime Minister Shangguan lowered his voice and asked in disbelief.
Now that it has come to this, no matter how stupid Ye Shengxin is, he can see that she has the ability to control lightning to punish people, right?
Ye Xingxin blinked innocently, "Know what?"
"You didn't think about the sky just now..."
He was unable to come up with the next words. Prime Minister Shangguan was already used to this, so he immediately changed the way of asking the question.
"Master Ye, how do you think Master Fang should be punished for committing so many mistakes?"
Fearing that Ye Shengxin would just speak official language to appease him, Prime Minister Shangguan also used the soldiers to provoke her.
"Only in order to give justice to those soldiers who died?"
"For killing so many soldiers, I must cut them into pieces to pay you back."
His emotions got to the fore again, and Ye Shengxin spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Can't I just be struck by lightning?"
Ye Xingxin tilted his head, "I didn't think of it before, but the Prime Minister's suggestion is very good, but I don't have that ability."
She spread her hands, her expression full of regret.
The ministers in the front could hear the conversation between Ye Xingxin and Prime Minister Shangguan. From what Ye Xingxin said, could it be...
Prime Minister Shangguan looked up at Emperor Jingming, and as their eyes met, they came to a new understanding.
——Ye Shengxin was affected by something and couldn’t remember his own bad words.
The greater the effect of her crow's mouth, the more forgetful she becomes.
This may be God's limitation on her ability.
Otherwise, if she were to realize this clearly, and use this ability to do evil, I'm afraid no one in this world would be able to punish her.
This news made Emperor Jingming loosen his grip on the dragon throne.
He also felt more at ease with Ye Shengxin's slightly fearful heart.
At this time, Eunuch Lin entered the hall with three witnesses.
After the three witnesses finished their statements, it was almost effortless to prove Fang Hongming's guilt of embezzling military pay and causing the deaths of soldiers.
There was no obstacle at all, which made Ning Bu Si, who was kneeling on the side, feel very unreal.
Before she entered the palace today, she knew that it would not be easy to sue the Empress Dowager and this second-rank official.
With the protection of other ministers, it would take at least two or three months to convict this man, and the court would take time.
Maybe she, the person who caused the problem, will die because of it.
But she was not afraid. She couldn't let her former brother not rest in peace after his death.
We must not allow the surviving soldiers to suffer or even lose their lives because of this person.
So here she is.
She saw that God was angry, and the man's guilt was determined in just a few words.
In order to comfort her and the dead soldiers, the emperor and his court officials even ordered the eunuch to give her a knife.
The Jingming Emperor at the top had a serious look on his face, and his aura was fully revealed:
"My dear Ning, Fang Hongming's crime has been established. To pay tribute to the soldiers who died because of him, I allow you to behead him in public."
"Do you dare or not?"
