After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums Chapter 456

"The cause of the fire can be found."

Song Yanjun shook his head. He was in a hurry to put out the fire and didn't bother to investigate.

Cheng Dedi's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, revealing boundless coldness.

At this time, Zuo Shiwen, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, grabbed a man by the collar and walked over from behind the crowd. Ru Bing's face was full of solemnity. It's no wonder that others gave him the title of King of Hades.

"The humble minister sees the emperor."

Zuo Shiwen walked in front of Emperor Chengde, threw the person in his hand to the ground roughly, bowed his hands and saluted.

"Zuo Aiqing is free." Emperor Cheng De said, and then his eyes fell on the man on the ground suspiciously: "This is?"

Zuo Shiwen said expressionlessly: "Back to the emperor, I just investigated the cause of the fire and saw this man sneaking away, so I immediately caught him. After analyzing it, it was probably that this person was drinking in the school, and when he was drunk, he accidentally knocked over the candle. The fire burned the tables and chairs through the spirits, and spread all the way. He woke up halfway and found the fire, and escaped. It's just that a pillar fell and pinned his legs, and by the time he tried to escape, the fire was out of control."

After finishing speaking, he glared at Dali Siqing angrily, his eyes full of disgust.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, it is his duty to investigate the cause of the fire, but this guy doesn't care at all, and his ability is too poor.

Emperor Chengde's eyes froze, and he fell on the man like a sharp dagger. His whole body was full of the pressure that belonged to the emperor, and he said, "Raise your head."

The man's body trembled with fright, his leg was already in pain from being crushed by the pillar, but at this moment he clearly felt that the pain in his leg could be ignored compared to being stared at by the emperor.

The man slowly raised his head, revealing a dark face.

Emperor Cheng De frowned, who knows this dark person?

"Who are you?"

"Wei... Weichen Xiao Muheng." Xiao Muheng prostrated on the ground, his body trembling in fear. Emperor Chengde's gaze was like an invisible big palm, tightly choking his throat, making him feel the fear of dying.

Someone in the crowd whispered.

Emperor Cheng De looked at Xiao Muheng with cold eyes: "Are you on duty tonight?"

Xiao Muheng replied with a trembling voice: "Yes...it's a subordinate."

As soon as his words fell, Emperor Cheng De raised his leg and kicked him: "You bastard, you are the Imperial College, and you are at home. How dare you drink here."

Guozijian Jijiu wanted to intercede for Xiao Muheng. This is Liu Xiang's son-in-law, and he was also the Guozijian where Liu Xiang arranged for him, but when he met Emperor Chengde's cold eyes, he couldn't say anything.

Forget it, it's the most important thing to be wise and protect yourself.

Xiao Muheng drank and set the Guozijian on fire. This matter cannot be lightly forgiven. There is no need to risk his own future for him.

Emperor Chengde glared at Xiao Muheng with an angry face, and said sharply: "Neglect of duty, set fire to the Imperial College, come here, pull him out and let me chop him up."

Xiao Muheng turned pale with shock when he heard the words: "The emperor is merciful, I know my mistake, I beg the emperor to spare my life, I beg the emperor to spare my life."

He kowtowed and kowtowed, begging for mercy in panic.

Emperor Cheng De let out a cold snort, and waved his hand indifferently behind him. Immediately, the Imperial Forest Army stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Muheng and was about to drag him out.

At this time, an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is the time of Chinese New Year, and it is not appropriate to kill a living being. Although Master Xiao's crime is unforgivable, please allow him to take the crime and make meritorious deeds."

He is Liu Xiang's man, he doesn't know if killing Xiao Muheng will make Liu Xiang lose his right hand and right arm, but today, if the emperor wants to kill Xiao Muheng for the crime of setting fire to the Imperial College, it is undoubtedly an invisible slap on Liu Xiang's face , Let Liu Xiang save face in the future?

Emperor Chengde looked at the minister of punishment and sneered, "What advice does Aiqing have?"

This sneer fell into the ears of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, causing a chill to creep up on the soles of his feet for no reason, and he shuddered fiercely. He subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but he held back his teeth and said respectfully: "Big mistake!" Now that it has happened, even if Mr. Xiao's head is cut off, the Imperial College will still be burned down, why not the emperor punish Mr. Xiao to pay for the rebuilding of the burnt school, so as to relieve the emperor's worries.”

Xiao Muheng quietly cast a grateful glance at the minister of punishment.

It's just a fine, it's just a trivial matter for him. With the background of the Xiao family, it's fine to rebuild the capital of the country.

Thinking, Xiao Muheng hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Chengde to plead guilty: "I know that I deserve to die, but I am willing to rebuild the Guozijian. I beg the emperor to give me a chance to reform. Please forgive me."

Emperor Chengde looked down at Xiao Muheng from a high position, his cold eyes were filled with black ink, and no emotion could be seen.

The air became quiet for a while, and even the sound of everyone's breathing became heavy in their ears. An invisible coercion fell on everyone, making them dare not breathe out.

After a long time, Emperor Chengde's cold voice sounded: "Qi Aiqing is right. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to come, and the new year is a good day, it is really inappropriate to kill and see blood. His official position will be deprived of his fame and reputation, he will be demoted to nothing, he will not be hired for life, he will be held responsible for eighty, and he will be fined 10 million taels of silver to rebuild the Guozijian."

Hiss—

In the crowd, someone couldn't help but gasped.

Ten million taels...

It is possible to build two Imperial Colleges.

No matter how rich the Xiao family is, they can't stand such a toss.

The face of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment froze, he hesitated to speak, and Emperor Chengde didn't give him a chance to speak: "If Qi Aiqing doesn't want him to pay the money, I don't object to you taking it for him."

"The humble minister dare not, but the emperor is wise."

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly clapped his hands and echoed.

Just kidding, to be able to intercede for Xiao Muheng under the emperor's fury is already the best of humanity, is he crazy and then open his mouth to bear the punishment for Xiao Muheng.

Anyway, Xiao Muheng's life was saved by him, and he also explained to Liu Xiang himself.

As for whether Xiao Muheng would rather be beheaded or spend 10 million taels to appease the Holy Wrath, it has nothing to do with him.

"Hmph." Emperor Chengde snorted softly, and glanced at the crowd: "What about you, do you feel dissatisfied?"

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and said: "The emperor is wise, and I admire you."

Can you object?

It's not the people from the Liu Party who don't care about Xiao Muheng's life or death. Anyway, they are not related to them, and dare to drink in the Imperial College, so they rush to find someone to blame.

As for the members of the Liu party, no one dared to speak again after learning from the past by the minister of punishment.

Even if they were afraid of Liu Xiang's majesty, they would not be able to empty out their family for Xiao Muheng.

The emperor made it clear that he would severely punish Xiao Muheng, and if he objected again, not only would the emperor not change his mind, but it would most likely put his own future at risk. From now on, the emperor will definitely remember you as a person, and will definitely give you a little Shoes to wear to death.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know that I am wrong, and I am willing to be beaten and punished. I beg the emperor not to let go of my position. I beg the emperor to show mercy and forgive me lightly." When Xiao Muheng heard the punishment from Emperor Chengde, his mind went blank, and his face The blood faded away, and when he came back to his senses suddenly, he begged for mercy in a panic.

The emperor demoted his official position, and took away his fame. From then on, he can no longer enter the court as an official, and his grand plans can no longer be displayed. After so many years of hard work, he has nothing.

There is still the 10 million taels, this is to make him bankrupt.

Without an official position, fame, or family property, he is undoubtedly a good-for-nothing to Liu Xiang. Without his glory and wealth, he can no longer be an excellent minister. Xiao Muheng only felt his brain buzzing and almost collapsed. .

Emperor Cheng De was unmoved by his desire for grief: "If you don't want to, then pull it out and cut it."

Now that I know how to beg for mercy, I have already gone to bed.

Drinking in the Imperial College, is your mind filled with grass?

"Your Majesty, don't want it..." Xiao Muheng regretted and cried out in horror: "I accept the punishment, I accept the punishment."

Emperor Chengde said to the Imperial Army with a cold face: "Pull it out, and fight at the gate of the Imperial College, and give Xiao's family three days to raise 10 million taels, otherwise I don't mind raiding his home."

Boom!

Xiao Muheng couldn't bear the stimulation in the end, and he was smoked for a while, and the injury on his leg hadn't been diagnosed and treated in time, so he passed out as soon as his eyes went dark.

The deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, this..."

Everyone is dizzy, do you still want to fight?

Emperor Cheng De glared at him: "If you faint, hit me too."

"yes."

The deputy commander received the order, and commanded his subordinates to carry him to the gate of the Imperial College without hesitation.

The imperial guards were more ruthless than the little eunuchs when they were punished. At eighty boards, even men would have to die for half their lives.

On the way, Xiao Muheng woke up from the pain, wailed a few times, and passed out from the pain again.

Headed by Emperor Chengde, accompanied by several officials and countless firefighting soldiers and Yacha, they stood at the gate of the Imperial College and watched Xiao Muheng being tortured.

After the fight, Emperor Cheng De swept everyone's eyes one by one with warning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This time I will punish you lightly, and I will give you a chance. You all tighten your skin, and who will be the next time?" If you dare to burn any place, you will not be beaten and fined, just wait for your head to move, you should carefully consider how many heads you have enough for me to chop off."

Everyone bowed their hands one after another and said: "I will follow the emperor's teachings, and I must be strict with myself."
