Chapter 201 Sing and Harmony(2/2)
He confessed to Wan Shirong, and the second half of his flattery was so flattering.
Fang Chengzhong felt funny in his heart, but he still said hypocritically: "Your Highness, if they know their mistakes and correct them...according to my subordinates' opinion, they may not be punished lightly."
These civil servants wanted to make a big deal out of it as soon as they came. They couldn't stand the generals, so how could the generals like them?
"Yizhou has made mistakes in the front and smeared people in the back. How do you think this king should punish you?" King Xuan asked lukewarmly.
"Come on, dismissed from office?" someone said weakly.
"If everyone in the court only needs to be dismissed from office if they do something wrong, that would save trouble." Fang Chengzhong sneered.
He paused, and then said: "I have fought for you to avoid the death penalty, but you should not be so cunning."
These words made them blush.
Only Xue Qingyin licked her lower lip.
Why did Deputy General Fang talk so much today? He didn't give her a chance to complain.
"Your Highness, please give me four years of official salary." Someone said in a trembling voice.
Unlike the officials in the capital, they have no salary, and because they are officials in a fiefdom and have no family members to support them, if their salary is reduced for four years, they will truly become paupers.
Another person said: "If I make another mistake, please send me to the front line to fight against the Mon army."
This is basically equivalent to swearing a poisonous oath.
King Xuan nodded slowly and said: "Okay."
Their tightly held hearts suddenly fell to the ground, and their bodies softened and tilted to the side.
Wan Shirong was holding it in and was shaking all over. But what could he say? Accused them of not bowing their heads and let them die calmly?
Being lingchi can't be done calmly at all.
At this time, the bodyguard came in and said, "Your Highness, he has fainted."
"Please, Your Highness, spare the sacrifice bar..." Wan Shirong spat out helplessly.
"Bring people in." King Xuan said.
Everyone was horrified, were they going to see the horrible scene after being cut off?
They were thinking about it, even trembling uncontrollably.
The personal guards followed the instructions and brought the Dongge sacrificial wine back from outside.
But it didn't look as miserable as imagined.
The collar around his neck was all wet with sweat. His face was pale. He was really faint, but... there was no blood on his body.
"He...this...the sacrificial wine was not cut off?" Someone said in surprise.
Wan Shirong's expression changed drastically: "His Highness lied to your subordinates?"
Fang Chengzhong's face darkened, and he shouted first: "What? Hasn't Master Wan experienced the feeling of saying the wrong thing?"
Wan Shirong had no choice but to shut up.
The guard on the side said: "As soon as I pulled out the short knife, he screamed. When I took off his pants again, he screamed again. By the time the blade touched his skin, he had already fainted from fright."
The guard had a look of pity on his face: "Before I could come, His Highness called me in again."
It turned out that I almost took action.
Several subordinates felt even more frightened.
Wan Shirong looked ugly and was speechless. He thought that maybe half of his prestige among them had been lost after such an incident.
Fang Chengzhong sneered and said: "Why do everyone's faces look so ugly? If the royal guards had not found you near Bazhou that day, you would have died on the road."
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Your Highness, for sending someone to find us." They whispered.
Fang Chengzhong sneered: "Use your brain carefully..."
Wan Shirong frowned: "Vice General Fang..."
Fang Chengzhong looked at him: "Wan Fu is the head of the subordinate officials, can't he not understand it?"
Wan Shirong said in shock: "Yes... Your Highness doesn't know how to predict. How did you know that we were arrested when we arrived in Yizhou, and how did you know which way we took after escaping? Then why did the guards discover us near Bazhou?"
?”
Fang Chengzhong said coldly: "Because of the princess."
Wan Shirong scratched his heart and lungs, and said sincerely: "Please give Vice General Fang a detailed explanation."
Xue Qingyin touched her nose in this room, ah? Why did it come to her?
Just listen to Fang Chengzhong continue: "There are no ferocious beasts on Xingzhou Mountain, but His Highness picked up a wolf cub on the mountain that day and gave it to the princess. The princess was very careful and concluded that there were either natural disasters or man-made disasters around, so she caused this
The pregnant female wolf trudged to escape here. After His Highness heard about it, he had no doubt about the princess's words and immediately sent people to investigate. Then he went all the way to Bazhou and saved your lives."
Fang Chengzhong said sternly: "The princess is your savior, but you are talking nonsense behind your back. Is this the way of a gentleman?"
They suddenly realized it in great shock.
Immediately I felt even more ashamed.
However, Xue Qingyin couldn't help but tilt her head and look at King Xuan.
