Chapter 1198 Zhao Kuo reveals his identity and conducts trial (Chapter 30)(1/2)
Not only the others were surprised, but even Zhao Kuo was surprised.
After all, from Zhao Kuo's perspective, he really didn't expect Fan Zeng to appear here in time. What's more, even if Fan Zeng really appeared, what can he change his identity as a scholar like him?
Zhang Xiaodong's thoughts were obviously the same as Zhao Kuo. After knowing Fan Zeng's name, Zhang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then said with an impatient look: "What else should I say about this matter?
This official has already made a successful judgment, and there is no room for negotiation. People come to take them all down!"
For Zhang Xiaodong, today's trial has actually made him lose face, so he no longer waits, not to mention that he wants to meet with Tian Wan earlier.
After Zhang Xiaodong's orders, these yamen runners were naturally moved, but at this moment Fan Zeng spoke loudly again.
"Mr. Zhang, the Lu family hides weapons and armor in their manor to rebel. Is this matter also indifferent to Lord Zhang?"
Fan Zeng's words were very loud, which made almost everyone present hear it, and he immediately fell into silence.
Rebellion is definitely a taboo in any country.
Zhang Xiaodong was also surprised and said in disbelief: "What are you just saying, do you repeat it?"
Fan Zeng took a deep breath and spoke with great affirmation: "To be honest, I actually worked for the Lu family before. After a while, I saw them secretly occupying a large number of finished weapons and armors hidden privately.
Just imagine, what else can I think about hiding weapons and armor at this time?
It must be a rebellion!”
After hearing Fan Zeng's words, Zhang Xiaodong also fell into hesitation.
This matter was actually something that Zhang Xiaodong didn’t know before. If Lu really wanted to rebel, what should he do?
At this moment, another sound suddenly sounded.
"Mr. Zhang, don't believe this boy's nonsense. Our Lu clan has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty and has absolutely no intention of rebellion!"
As this sentence fell, a road suddenly separated in the crowd, and a middle-aged man walked over with a smile on his face.
There are many followers around this middle-aged man, and anyone can tell that this is definitely a nobleman with a very high status.
The next moment, someone in the crowd immediately called out the identity of this noble man.
"It's Mr. Lu Yu who is here!"
"I didn't expect that this incident also alarmed Mr. Lu Yu."
"Since Mr. Lu Yu is here, then this Lord Li You is afraid that he will really suffer."
Zhao Kuo could hear all these whispers in the crowd clearly, but Zhao Kuo was very calm and the expression on his face did not change at all.
Lu Yu walked into the lobby, went to Zhang Xiaodong for an example, and said, "Mr. Zhang, Lu wants to solemnly declare here that our Lu clan has absolutely no intention of rebellion. The so-called crime of privately harboring weapons and armor is also because of Fan Zeng. This guy owes money and doesn't want to pay it back. Who found an excuse?"
After hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhang Xiaodong obviously came back to his senses and cast a look at Lu Yu, indicating that the other party was at ease.
Then Zhang Xiaodong turned his eyes to Fan Zeng, and said with a very stern expression: "Come on, let me take this guy who dares to falsely accuse the Lu family of the Lord and take it down together!"
After Zhang Xiaodong finished speaking, several yamen runners rushed up and held Fan Zeng down.
Fan Zeng struggled and shouted loudly: "Everyone knows the Lu family's intention to rebel. Just check their manor and you will know, why don't the adults do this?"
Zhang Xiaodong said coldly with a stern face: "You are just a guy who doesn't pay back your debts. Compared to you, I certainly trust the Lu family more.
Originally, I planned to find another time to deal with your case, but now that you have already arrived, let’s deal with both of you and us together! The person who came here, suppress all this guy and Li You and others, and put them into prison, and exil to Lingnan together at that time!"
When Zhang Xiaodong's order was issued, many yamen runners immediately surrounded Zhao Kuo. Fan Zeng struggled hard but failed, with a regretful expression on his face and said to Zhao Kuo: "My benefactor, I'm the one who harmed you!"
After seeing this scene, Zhao Kuo's expression remained calm and said to Fan Zeng: "You must believe that there are still axioms and justice in this world after all."
After saying this, Zhao Kuo turned his head and nodded to Mao Sui, who had been unable to control himself.
From Mao Sui's perspective, of course, he had already had enough of Zhang Xiaodong and Lu Yu, so he immediately slapped the nearest yamen runner and slapped the yamen runner who had no time to be wary of the chair to the ground.
After Mao Sui took action, the followers of Zhao Kuo behind him, the palace guards of the Han Dynasty who were responsible for protecting Zhao Kuo's safety, immediately took action.
Since these palace guards can be selected to protect Zhao Kuo, of course, martial arts are all top-notch. Just a dozen yamen runners are no match for them at all, and they are instantly beaten to the ground.
This sudden change suddenly triggered a burst of exclamation, and Lu Yu subconsciously shouted: "Come on, hurry up, defeat these bold thieves!"
Lu Yu also brought several followers in this wave.
But immediately, Lu Yu knew that quantity was of no use in the face of real combat power.
In just two minutes, Lu Yu's entourage was also beaten to the ground, and a group of people fell down in the lobby.
This scared Zhang Xiaodong. He was about to continue calling for someone, but found that Mao Sui was standing in front of him with a smile.
"You try another word?"
Although Mao Sui is already in his forties, if he talks about martial arts, no ten Zhang Xiaodong deserves to carry his shoes.
This is mainly because Mao Sui was undercover in Qin State back then. In order to prevent him from running away, he practiced martial arts crazily to avoid being unable to escape.
Zhang Xiaodong opened his mouth and showed an extremely ugly smile: "Brave, hero, why do you have to do this? Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"
At this moment, another sentence floated over slowly.
"Misunderstand?
I'm afraid I don't think so."
This sentence was said by Zhao Kuo.
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he walked calmly to Zhang Xiaodong in front of everyone.
Mao Sui immediately understood and picked up Zhang Xiaodong and threw it aside.
Zhao Kuo naturally sat down in the only main position, which was just Zhang Xiaodong.
Everyone outside the lobby was stunned when they watched this scene.
Fan Zeng couldn't help but speak, "My benefactor, let's go quickly!"
For Fan Zeng, what happened today was already shocking enough. What shocked Fan Zeng even more was that this benefactor didn't leave after beating him?
You should know that Zhang Xiaodong is a Juchao Order and can mobilize the army! Even if these entourages around Zhao Kuo can fight, can there be any army?
Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Mao Sui: "Tell me."
Mao Sui nodded and said loudly: "You all know that this is not someone else, but His Majesty the Emperor of our great Han Kingdom!"
After Mao Sui finished speaking, everyone present was silent for a moment.
emperor?
This... Suddenly, Lu Yu laughed: "You guy is crazy, you dare to pretend to be the emperor?"
You're dead!"
Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said calmly: "Put your mouth."
Mao Sui kicked up and kicked Lu Yu directly in the face. Lu Yu screamed in pain, and countless front teeth flew out directly, and he rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.
At this moment, a team of soldiers rushed in.
Zhang Xiaodong was overjoyed and thought it was a soldier living in Chaocheng, but he never expected that the person who came was a team of fully armed imperial guards holding muskets! The general of the imperial guards led by the imperial guards came directly to Zhao Kuo and knelt down: "My teacher Pang Jian was late to protect him, so please forgive me!"
Pang Jian's words were like five thunders thunder, which instantly knocked Zhang Xiaodong stupid and made everyone present dumb.
If everyone didn't believe it when Mao Sui revealed his identity, but now the musketeers and imperial guards have appeared, who dares not believe it?
Zhang Xiaodong looked at Zhao Kuo with trembling all over, and finally linked the majestic man in front of him with the figure who had delivered a speech on the highest stage of the academy many years ago.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaodong was just the most ordinary scholar at that time. He had never been able to get close to the stage. After so many years, he had long forgotten Zhao Kuo's face! At this moment, the people outside the lobby also came to their senses, and they didn't know who started it, and everyone knelt down one after another.
"See Your Majesty!"
Lu Yu covered her mouth and was also stupid.
His Majesty?
I, Lu Yu, actually got into trouble with His Majesty?
Lu Yu felt dizzy for a moment. If he could, he really wanted to faint on the spot.
Fan Zeng was also stupid.
My benefactor...is the legendary Your Majesty?
Your Majesty, he actually helped me stand out and had a meal at my Fan Zeng’s house?
The huge shock and happiness were stirring back and forth in Fan Zeng's heart, making him unable to help but feel the urge to whistle to the sky.
Suddenly, Fan Zeng came to his senses and quickly knelt down.
Long roar can be roaring in the future, but now, no one can stop Fan Zeng from expressing his heartfelt respect to the wise and great Majesty! Zhao Kuo looked at the many people kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You don't have to be polite, get up, let me hear the first trial of this case."
After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, everyone stood up one after another, and hope rose in their hearts.
His Majesty the Emperor has come, and he also colluded with the Lu clan and Zhang Xiaodong on the spot. Juchaocheng must be saved! Zhao Kuoxian set his eyes on Zhang Xiaodong and said lightly: "Zhang Xiaodong, you collude with local tribes and oppress the people. You ignore the loan documents that are obviously usury. They still speak stubbornly. You are still an official from the school. It is simply a shame to the school! From today on, Zhang Xiaodong will be deprived of all his positions and all his family will be exiled to Lingnan. Zhang Xiaodong himself is temporarily detained. After the brigade of troops arrives, behead him and show his head!"
Zhao Kuo has no favors for a corrupt official like Zhang Xiaodong.
You should know that corrupt officials bully the people, and embezzle the money from the Han Dynasty. Which of the people is not the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and which one does not belong to Zhao Kuo?
For Zhao Kuo, these corrupt officials are thieves, thieves who steal the hearts and powers of the Han people! Zhao Kuo cannot let these hateful thieves survive. He must let everyone, especially the officials, know that whoever is greedy will die! After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Zhang Xiaodong was stunned.
A few seconds later, Zhang Xiaodong shouted wildly: "Your Majesty, I know I am wrong. Give me your life, let me go!"
To be continued...
