Chapter 1103 Liu He counterattacks

Everyone present was attracted by this roar.

I saw a handsome and tall boy walking towards this side dozens of steps away.

When Zhong Yao and the other three saw this person, their pupils dilated and they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Meet Your Highness."

Liu Zheng bowed and returned the ceremony: "Today I am here to apologize for guilt. Since it is an apology, it is naturally a prisoner. The three should treat each other as prisoners."

Zhong Yao was a little panicked and waved his hand quickly: "How to do this? Never, never..."

However, Lu Zhi interrupted him and said to Liu Zheng with relief: "Your Highness can reflect on himself and come to apologize in person, which is a blessing for the world and the country."

Man Chong was also very satisfied: "The law is the pillar of the country. If Your Highness has such virtue, the little minister will definitely fulfill it."

After saying that, he was not polite and waved his hand directly: "Come on, remove the criminal Liu Zheng, and put on the shackles."

Zhong Yao was anxious: "Boning, although Your Highness is guilty, he is the prince after all. How could he be so humiliated in public?"

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Yuan Chang, Yuan Chang, you are also an old minister of the Han Dynasty. How could you be so critical that you are not as clear as the junior Boning?"

Zhong Yao was a little confused, but after looking at the expressions of the two, he quickly understood: "Haha, I understand, I understand."

Ni Yuan and others who were extremely proud of their hearts just now were stunned when they saw this change. They never thought that Liu Zheng would actually come to the Tingwei Mansion to apologize in person. This was beyond their expectations, and these people were at a loss for a moment.

Among the spies hiding in the crowd, several people quickly disappeared and ran towards Wang Yun's mansion.

The originally noisy door suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes gathered on Liu Zheng.

Several officers walked to Liu Zheng, clasped their fists at him, said "offending", and then reached out to untie his brocade robe.

Man Chong suddenly bowed to Zhong Yao and said, "You have reported to the Tingwei that according to the laws and regulations, when interrogating the royal relatives, there should be a jury on the spot, and the Tingwei will also send someone to invite him."

Zhong Yao thought about it and said that this should be the case. Just when he was about to speak, he heard an old voice coming.

"No need, I'm here."

Everyone looked in the voice. An old man with white hair and beard slowly walked towards this side with the help of two followers. Several people hurried forward to greet him.

"I've met Zong Zheng."

Liu Zhengze knelt directly to greet him: "The grandson has met the emperor's uncle."

Liu Yu is nearly 70 years old now. Although he is still healthy with Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, he is still old and has a little trembling when walking. But even so, his tiger eyes and his eyes are sharp. He glanced around, as if he could see through the thoughts of everyone present at a glance.

Then, he smiled and helped him with a helping hand: "I asked you to ask me, Lao I and the Tingwei are of the same level. President Lu is even more important than Lao I. How dare I take such a great gift?"

He turned his head to look at Liu Zheng again, with a serious look on his face: "Zheng'er, today you can go to the Tingwei Mansion to apologize, and it will not be in vain for your father and mother's teachings for many years. Get up and wait for Tingwei to interrogate."

Liu Zheng then stood up and said to Zhong Yao: "The criminal Liu Zheng, please ask the court magistrate to conduct a strict review. He will definitely speak out and never deceive him."

The Miao family members who had just arrived, all of them became anxious when they saw this situation. Miao Juan instinctively rushed over, intending to defend Liu Zheng a few words.

At this moment, even Miao's mother, who was extremely tricky in the past, didn't say anything, followed her husband and daughter, holding her youngest son in her arms, and wanted to push the crowd away and squeeze forward.

At this time, a powerful hand suddenly grabbed Miao's father from behind and stopped him. When Miao Juan and others were about to look back, they were instantly pulled and dragged out of the crowd by several people who came out of nowhere.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The Miao family couldn't even shout out the word "help" and their mouths were covered and their hands were caught without any resistance.

Several people felt that this must be the ones who secretly murdered His Highness and were preparing to kill their family to silence them. Thinking of this, the four of them were all trembling in their hearts and struggling desperately, but it was useless.

Just as they were almost in despair, a familiar voice rang in their ears: "Do you want to kill Zheng'er?"

The few people suddenly felt that the power that bound their bodies disappeared. When they recovered, they looked in the sound and were shocked.

"General Zhu, why...why are you?" Miao's father was very surprised.

Zhu Ye glared at them angrily: "I have repeatedly told me to rest in the mansion and not go out at will. Why don't you listen to it, which will cause such a big disaster?"

When the few people heard this, they all lowered their heads in shame.

Miao's father smiled apologetically and said, "This... Xiaomin, I... I was also confused for a while. I was just going to tell a few words for Your Highness..."

Zhu Ye waved his hand: "No need, Your Majesty has made arrangements for this matter. You can watch it here for a while, don't do anything."

Although Zhu Ye usually looks kind and rarely puts on airs in the army, he is a famous general who has been on the battlefield for nearly twenty years. This expression, coupled with a few words, is not angry and powerful, which makes the Miao family members dare not speak out, and can only force themselves to calm down and watch the changes in the situation ahead.

Although Liu Yu was only one of the nine ministers, he had a very high seniority. Today, he would respect him as the emperor. Now, in the court, only him and Guan Yu can enjoy the four treatments of not going to the court, praise and worship, swords and shoes to the palace, carriages or horses in the palace, even Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, Cui Jun, Xun Yu and others can only enjoy one or two of them.

Therefore, as soon as he appeared at the gate of the Tingwei, not only did Zhong Yao and others become more serious, but those who were waiting to watch the fun did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Zhong Yao specially ordered people to move the seats. After Liu Yu sat down, Zhong Yao, Lu Zhi and Man Chong sat down separately and prepared to openly investigate the case at the gate of the Tingwei Mansion.

"Bang..." Zhong Yao slapped the agglomeration and shouted: "The prisoner Liu Zheng, why don't he kneel down?"

Liu Zheng did not hesitate and immediately knelt on both knees.

Thousands of onlookers from all directions, when they saw the eldest prince, they actually knelt on their feet to be tried in public, and they all began to feel a little upset.

"Your Highness is clearly an open and honest gentleman. Could it be that we blamed him wrong?"

"Well... I think so."

"Hey, it's too early to say it, so I'll continue to read and make a conclusion."

Zhong Yao asked straight to the point and asked directly: "I received a complaint from this hall saying that you left the palace last night during the mourning period, escaped from the city, and killed people in the street. Can you admit your guilt?"

Liu Zheng replied: "Return to Tingwei, there is indeed this incident."

"Wow..." As soon as he saw that he admitted it, the onlookers were a little surprised.

At this time, a secret spy hidden among the people shouted loudly: "Everyone heard it, he confessed himself. How can such a vicious, unfaithful and unfilial person be a prince?"

"That's right, he should be punished severely according to law!"

"Severe punishment according to law!"

Under the instigation of the spies, another wave of condemnation came towards Liu Zheng. However, the wave was obviously much smaller than before. The people and merchants looked at each other and were a little wandering.

"Silent! The court officer tried the case. Whoever dared to be arrogant would despise the national law!" Man Chong was a little unhappy and scolded him sternly. The officers on both sides shouted "magnificent" in unison, and then suppressed the waves.

Zhong Yao seemed to have also admitted his guilt that Liu Zhenghui was so readily, and he felt a little unexpected, but in full view of everyone, he was not convenient to protect him. Just as he was about to continue to hold him accountable, Liu Yu, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke.

"Zheng'er, even though you are a prince, you should be punished if you violate the law today, do you know?"

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Go back to the emperor's uncle, grandson knows."

"Yes." Liu Yu nodded and said, "It is the duty of the court magistrate to follow the law. However, as a minister, I am in charge of the affairs of the royal family. Since I attend today, I should do my duty. I have something unknown. Zhenger, you have been very sensible since childhood and are extremely filial to the Queen Mother. What is the reason? You have left the city late at night without regard to the mourning ban. Let me explain it to the emperor's uncle."

"Yes, grandson obeys the order."

Liu Zheng bowed three times in the direction of Liu Yu, and then he briefly explained what happened last night.

He was able to come to the court guard for trial in person, which greatly relieved the emotions of the people who were originally angry. Now when he heard him say how fiercely Niu was, he repeatedly harassed the Miao family and extorted, and still stopped the road and robbed Miao Juan in the middle of the night, intending to commit crimes, and robbed Miao Juan when he went back to be a concubine of the thirteenth house, he usually hated this bully outside the city, and the anger that had just calmed down was aroused again, but this time the anger was targeted by Niu.

"It's hateful. I knew that Niu was not a person. I didn't expect that he would make things so difficult for Lao Miao and his family!"

"That's right, if Your Highness hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid Lao Miao and his family of four would have been cold now. This Niu's surname should really die."

"Your Highness is well killed. Such a villain should have been killed!"

Everyone cursed Mr. Niu, especially those merchants who were familiar with the Miao family in the past, such as the man who was called Brother Qin by Miao's father, was scolded especially fiercely.

"That's not right." A secret spy spoke, "Even if Mr. Niu bullies the weak, what's the matter with your eldest prince? You actually worked for you to leave the palace late at night and go out of the city to kill him?"

Man Chong also said: "If Mr. Niu violates the law, he should be punished by the national law. The eldest prince should not interfere. What's more, although Mr. Niu's crimes are serious, he will not be able to commit evil in the end. According to our laws and regulations, he will not be punished until he dies. Even if he really robs the daughter of the people, he should be arrested and tried again, and then be exiled to the frontier. Therefore, your highness, you still cannot escape the severe punishment of the law."

Liu Zheng did not make any excuses and replied respectfully: "I am willing to be punished, and there is no other way."

He seemed to be punished, but the people quit.

"What's the reason? What's wrong with the eldest prince punishing evil and promoting good and practicing the way for heaven?"

"This girl from the Miao family is so well-behaved. If she is really robbed by that bully and goes home, she will be tortured to death sooner or later. She will be a sin..."

"That is, Brother Miao and his family saved the prince's life, which was a great contribution, but they were bullied by several bullies. It is normal for His Highness to be favored by others and stand up for them in a reasonable and reasonable manner."

Man Chong glanced at the hall and shouted again: "Sujing!"

After everyone calmed down, he said, "So, after learning that his benefactor was made difficult and bullied by the Niu Master, he broke out of the palace. What he did was to save his life?"

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "No. I saw that Mr. Niu was in a bad intention while there was no one around, and he was angry and took a heavy move and killed him. Tingwei Zheng said it was right. Although the man was guilty, he would not die. He confessed his guilt. No matter what punishment he was punished, he would not complain."

Ni Yuan and others were a little anxious when they watched the emotions of the people around them, but when they heard Liu Zheng confessed directly, and the man Chong looked upright and seemed to be planning to do it strictly according to the law, it seemed that the development of things was not too far from their expectations.

Man Chong looked at Zhong Yao, Zhong Yao, Lu Zhi and Liu Yu, and looked at each other, and the few nodded to each other to show off.

Then, Zhong Yao slapped the awkward again: "Okay, criminal Liu Zheng, listen to the sentence..."

In Wang Yun's Grand Tutor's Mansion, dozens of current ministers, including Wang Yun himself, and a group of patriarchs of wealthy families, gathered together, as if waiting for something.

Wang Yun looked calm, picked up the teacup and took a sip, revealing a look of enjoyment.

Wang Qian leaned forward and stopped talking. When he was about to retreat, Wang Yun spoke first: "If you have something to say, don't hesitate."

"Yes." Wang Qian smiled awkwardly and said, "Taoshi, the shocking sound outside seems...it seems to have stopped. Could something have happened?"

Although the Grand Tutor's Mansion is separated by several streets from the Tingwei Mansion, the shouts of thousands of people are enough to be heard several miles away. Even in this lobby, you can hear the movement faintly. However, not long ago, the shouting came to an abrupt end, which made everyone feel a little nervous.

Wang Yun was calm and unhurried: "What's the hurry? Maybe Zhong Yao and Lu Zhi are trying to calm down the situation. Today's matter has been planned for a long time. No matter how clever the two of them are, it is difficult for the eldest prince to clear the charge."

When everyone heard this, they felt very reasonable and then they calmed down a little.

"Master..." A voice came from outside the door, and then a man hurriedly ran in.

"Hmm?" Wang Yun recognized that this was one of the spies he sent out and asked hurriedly: "How is the matter going?"

The man gasped and replied stutteringly: "What happened...thing happened...the eldest prince...he..."

When everyone heard the three words "What happened" and instantly raised their hearts to their throats.

One of the heads of the family asked: "How is the eldest prince?"

However, before the man could answer, another voice came from outside.

"Zheng'er has gone to Tingwei's Mansion to apologize. My dear friends are afraid they will be disappointed."
