Condescending and Condescending

By the time the twentieth board was beaten, Peng Chengbi and Peng Hanyu's trousers were already soaked with blood.

When Mrs. Peng and Mrs. Peng saw this, their eyes were red, and they rushed forward: "How are you? Are you all right?"

Peng Chengbi and Peng Hanyu were used to being pampered and pampered. When had they ever been punished like this, so now they were in so much pain that they couldn't talk, they couldn't even breathe, as if they had lost half their lives.

Only then did the officials below react.

They never thought that Fang Yanqin would really dare to attack the Peng family.

This is simply slapping Qingliu in the face, the face of the aristocratic family, and the face of the scholar-official class!

Thinking of this, many people looked at Fang Yanqin with anger.

Seeing this, Fang Yanqin smiled again: "You can't blame me, after all, I also act according to the law."

Then, as if he remembered something, the corners of his lips rose even more sharply: "By the way, didn't Mr. Peng Lang just say that they are all officials according to the law, so not only do they not need to kneel down when they are interrogated, but they can also sit down?" On trial?"

"Come on, bring up four chairs for Peng Shangshu and Peng Langjun, and help them sit up."

Hearing this, Peng Chengbi and Peng Hanyu, who had finally recovered their breath, felt their eyes go dark.

Because their buttocks have just received [-] boards...

Before they could react, several yamen servants moved four chairs up, set up Peng Chengbi and Peng Hanyu, and pressed them down on the chairs.

In the next second, heart-piercing screams resounded over the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment again.

Seeing this scene, the officials present couldn't help clenching their fists.

So they couldn't help standing up: "Qin Yanqin, you, how dare you humiliate the Peng family like this over and over again?"

"Scholars can be killed and cannot be humiliated. If you behave like this, aren't you afraid that future history books will poke your spine?"

"Prince Renduan, why did Prince Renduan give birth to such a ruthless son like you who only bullies others?"

……

Fang Yanqin ignored them, just leaned back on the chair, he still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't take their words to heart at all.

But hearing these words, Xie Wenlun couldn't help frowning.

What Xiao Shen can think of, he can naturally think of.

But what he didn't expect was that Fang Yanqin was so courageous that he dared to attack the Peng family in full view.

It is conceivable how these Qingliu aristocratic families will retaliate against Fang Yanqin in the future.

Don't underestimate the mouth of a literati, otherwise, how could someone compare it with a warrior's sword, because they can kill people.

So Xie Wenlun couldn't help but worry about the dialect.

But on the other hand, he felt that what Fang Yanqin did was not an ordinary way to relieve his anger.

The corner of his eyes fell on the excited second princess, and he couldn't help but think, if the Xie family could be like Fang Yanqin, then his aunt and big sister wouldn't have died It's over.

Thinking of this, Xie Wenlun's mood also became complicated.

Who would have thought that this bastard could have such a responsible side.

On the other side, Peng Chengbi and Peng Hanyu finally regained their breath.

Their pale lips were trembling uncontrollably, and the sweat was pouring down their foreheads.

At least in the past few decades, they have never been so embarrassed.

And all of this is thanks to dialect Qin.

The eyes of Peng Chengbi and Peng Hanyu immediately turned redder.

So they must let Fang Yanqin know what will happen to them if they offend the Peng family, their aristocratic family, and their literati.

Thinking of this, Peng Chengbi gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Zhao, can we start the trial now?"

Hearing this, the other officials present could only temporarily suppress their anger and sat back.

In the end, they didn't forget to give Fang Yanqin a hard look.

Wait, when the trial of the case is over, they must jointly submit a report, ruthlessly refer to the book of Fang Yanqin, and then publicize this matter to everyone, so that Fang Yanqin will not be able to hold his head up in the court and the field in the future.

And the third prince and the others sat up straight immediately.

Compared with dialect Qin's bullying, they only care about the progress of the case.

But nothing should go wrong.

Because last night, they helped the Peng family clean up all the evidence overnight.

So as long as it is confirmed that the truth of this case is what they concluded, at least their reputation inside and outside the court will be preserved.

As for Emperor Yuanping, they are the biological sons of Emperor Yuanping, and all five of their brothers were involved in this matter. Could Emperor Yuanping still abolish them all?

——At that time, he really can only support Fang Yanqin, his nephew who he regards as a thorn in his side.

It was precisely because they thought about this clearly that they became confident again.

Thinking of this, they looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Yanqin laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's time for the trial, after all, it's been delayed for so long."

Then he picked up the gavel and patted it: "Peng Chengbi, I ask you, when did the second princess' condition start to deteriorate?"

Peng Chengbi: "It started to deteriorate half a year ago."

"it is good."

Fang Yanqin asked again: "Mrs. Peng, Mrs. Peng and your son Peng Hanyu should all know about this matter."

Peng Chengbi: "Yes."

Fang Yanqin: "During the period, the emperor asked you six times about the situation of the second princess. Why did you say that the second princess is in good health every time, but still needs to cultivate?"

Peng Chengbi thought that Fang Yanqin could play some tricks, but the result was this——

So he said directly: "Prince Zhao, these things, when the third prince and the fifth prince tried this case, the lower officials have already said it, you just need to look at the previous confession to know, and there are other things on it. The testimony of the imperial physician and some doctors outside testifying for us..."

Fang Yanqin interrupted him directly: "But I just want to hear from you—"

Seeing Fang Yanqin's aggressive look, Peng Chengbi's face couldn't help but froze again, but he endured it and replied: "That's because the emperor's health is not very good, and I'm afraid that the emperor will be injured after hearing the news. , I couldn’t bear it, so I only reported the good news and not the bad news.”

Hearing this, the second princess sat up excitedly: "You are talking nonsense, the reason why I am seriously ill is obviously because you poisoned my food, in order not to be discovered by my father, I lied to my father on purpose My condition has improved."

Peng Hanyu heard this, and immediately said: "Princess, the poisoning was obviously done by Hongjin. This matter is proved by Hongjin's suicide note and the confessions of the imperial physician and the servants in your yard. Why do you Just don't believe it?"

Then he looked suddenly enlightened: "Or do you keep that matter in mind..."

Speaking of this, he was very angry: "My mother just complained that we have not conceived a child in seven years of marriage, and you have always hated them until now, and now you can't wait to kill my Peng family before she dies." ?”

"You are so cruel. Apart from that, how can my Peng family feel sorry for you? You want to harm us like this?"

Hearing this, the officials present were suddenly in an uproar.

"So the truth of the matter turned out to be like this?"

"If this is left in an ordinary family, let alone seven years, if you haven't conceived a child in three years, your husband's family will kick you out."

"So what face does Second Princess have to hate the Peng family?"

……

Hearing Peng Hanyu's words of confounding black and white, and seeing those officials who almost wrote the word poisonous woman on their faces, the second princess was so angry that she almost fainted: "You, you guys, are shameless..."

Xiao Shen's face also darkened.

How dare Peng Hanyu do this?

When the Peng family saw this, a flash of pride flashed in their eyes.

This is the means by which they literati retaliate against others.

In less than a day, rumors about the second princess' vicious nature would spread throughout the streets and alleys.

And this is just the beginning—

Thinking of this, they immediately looked at Fang Yanqin proudly.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yanqin seemed not only not angry, but turned his head to look at Xie Wenlun: "Have you written it all down?"

Xie Wenlun just stopped writing: "I wrote it down."

Fang Yanqin: "Give them a signature."

The people present were all taken aback.

Fang Yanqin's interrogation is over now?

He only asked three sentences in total?

Even the second princess was stunned.

The Peng family didn't know why, but they could only honestly put a charge on the confession.

Holding the drawn confession, Fang Yanqin sneered, then slapped the confession on the table, and said: "Okay, since it is clear that the second princess's illness has not recovered, but you only tell the emperor that the second princess has recovered from her illness." , then do you know what this is in the "Great Law"?"

Xiao Shen was taken aback, what is it?

Fang Yanqin: "Isn't this just deceiving the emperor?"

"Mr. Xiao, according to the law, how should the crimes of the Peng family be punished?"

Xiao Shen subconsciously said: "If you don't tell the truth, you are indeed deceiving the emperor. What's more, the emperor asked Peng Chengbi six times about the situation of the second princess, so he was sentenced to 18 sticks and [-] years in prison. The other Peng family members also hid it. Suspected of reporting, sitting together, but Mrs. Peng and Mrs. Peng are a woman and child, according to the previous rules, they can be exempted..."

Fang Yanqin interrupted him directly: "That's easy."

"Since today is Mrs. Peng's [-]th birthday, I have exempted you from imprisonment, which is considered a congratulatory gift for you."

"Since there is no sentence of imprisonment, there is no need to report it to the Minister of Punishment and the emperor for approval, and the hall can execute the sentence directly."

After finishing speaking, he directly grabbed the big seal of the Ministry of Punishment and stamped it on the confessions.

Then he waved down the lottery bucket in front of him: "Come on, execute me!"

boom!

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

In the next second, the left and right yamen servants swung the water and fire sticks and knocked the Peng family off their chairs.

"what!"

Could it be that the Peng family let out a scream.

Peng Hanyu even hit his head directly on the ground, and even the jade crown on his head fell off, and after hitting the ground, it shattered all over the ground.

Then their heads were held up by two water and fire sticks.

It can be said that how arrogant they were before, how embarrassed they are now.

So Peng Chengbi immediately roared angrily: "Shuzi, dare you?"

Only then did the others react.

The eldest prince stood up directly from his seat, glaring and said: "Qin Yanqin, do you know what you are doing?"

The third prince also said: "Qin Yanqin, don't mess around."

Those officials were even more furious: "Prince Zhao, Peng Shangshu is obviously sympathetic to the emperor, but how come you have turned into a bully."

……

"You, you are obviously making trouble for no reason."

"I'm going to meet the emperor right now. Even if I crash into death in front of Fengtian Hall today, I will definitely let the emperor punish you severely."

After speaking, the official raised his foot and was about to walk out.

Seeing this, other officials shouted, "I'm going too."

"is it?"

Fang Yanqin saw him and waved directly.

In the next second, there was only a crisp sound of a long knife being drawn out of its sheath, and the guards surrounded him with their knives.

"Go back!"

"Otherwise, don't blame the swords in our hands for not having eyes—"

When they met those fierce faces, they were immediately stunned.

One of the elderly officials trembled, pointed at Fang Yanqin and said, "Zhao, Prince Zhao, what do you want to do?"

"What?"

Fang Yanqin looked at them: "Since you don't feel comfortable sitting, you should all kneel."

Before the words were finished, those imperial guards kicked those officials' feet directly: "Did you hear me, all kneel down."

thump!

Caught off guard, those officials were forced to kneel down one by one, even the five princes were no exception.

They were completely angry: "Qin Yanqin, you are so bold—"

Fang Yanqin interrupted them directly: "Whoever dares to roar in the court again will be killed on the spot!"

The imperial guards immediately took a step forward: "Yes!"

Looking at the shining long knives aimed at them all around, they subconsciously swallowed the words that came to their lips.

Fang Yanqin sat up straight again: "Making trouble for no reason?"

He smiled: "Yes, I am just making trouble for no reason, just teasing you."

"you you--"

Hearing this, the officials were so angry that they couldn't even speak.

So Fang Yanqin helped them and said, "Why do you want to do this?"

"Why do you dare to do this?"

The smile on Fang Yanqin's face disappeared in an instant: "You all know the truth about the assassination of the second princess."

"My emperor's uncle is kind, but he wanted to reason with you and give you face. As a result, you put your nose on your face and ignored the grievances of the second princess and the majesty of the royal family."

"Do you still remember that Jiangshan's surname is Qian, and Tianxia's surname is Qin—"

"You are all ministers of the Qin family, but every day you want to run wild on the heads of the Qin family!"

"Since that's the case, do I still need to give you face?"

Still the same sentence, Emperor Yuanping was too benevolent and too rigid. He clearly held the military power and the country was relatively stable, but he still allowed a group of literati to climb to the top of his head to do his best.

When they heard this, the faces of a large number of officials changed instantly, but how could they admit this, so they immediately tried to refute Fang Yanqin.

But Fang Yanqin didn't give them a chance at all: "Do you still want to say that if I behave like this, I won't be afraid that the history books will poke my spine in the future?"

"I don't know if Shi Shu Gongbi will stab my spine, but I know that those knives can stab your spine if I give an order now."

"Do you still want to say that after the trial of the case is over, you must jointly submit a report, and sternly refer to me for a copy, and then publicize this matter to everyone, so that I will not be able to hold my head up in the court and the public in the future. ?”

"Even if I really can't lift my head up in the court and the field, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as I live for a day, you all have to kneel down and answer me honestly."

"By the way, there is also the matter of the second princess and Peng Hanyu. Have you forgotten that in this dynasty, only the princess is married, but there is no such thing as a princess marrying off, so what kind of Peng family is the second princess's in-laws? Even if the second princess and Peng Hanyu I have been married for many years and have not had any children, so it is only my royal family who reprimanded Peng Hanyu for his incompetence, where did the Peng Chen family have such a big face, dare to criticize the second princess."

Hearing this, Peng Hanyu's face turned green.

Because Fang Yanqin's words simply regarded him as those cowardly and incompetent sons-in-law who came to visit.

This is true, because Fang Yanqin didn't take him seriously from the beginning to the end.

So he put his left hand directly on the table, looked at them and said: "I said so much, just to tell you that no matter how many witnesses the Peng family has, no matter how little evidence the Second Princess has, as long as the Second Princess says, If I believe it, then what she said is ironclad proof!"

"about--"

Those yamen servants immediately replied in unison: "Yes!"

Fang Yanqin: "Beat Peng's family to death!"

"My lords, watch carefully!"
