Chapter 201 Human Wax

There was no shortage of people watching the excitement everywhere in the world, especially Hong Wentao, who was used to being arrogant and domineering. He always regarded himself as the uncle of the country outside, but little did he know that others were secretly laughing at him.

When talking about the country's uncle, the queen's brother comes first, followed by the noble concubine's brother. When will the younger brother of a small nobleman be able to call himself the country's uncle.But because of Minister Hong's face, everyone couldn't speak out and could only let him run rampant.

Nowadays, Hong Wentao is being dragged down the street by the government officials in disheveled clothes. Many people are watching the excitement, pointing and discussing why the little bully of the Hong family was caught.

"Could it be that he was riding a horse in the street a few days ago?"

"No, no, no, I think you are robbing a girl."

"This new official of Jingzhao Yin has been in charge of three things, but unfortunately he will definitely not be able to control the Hong family. I think it won't take a while to get him back."

While the crowd of onlookers was talking, Hong Wentao was still yelling and cursing, but his servant couldn't beat the yamen servant and had already run back to fetch reinforcements, covering his bruised face.

"If you are sensible, please let me go. Otherwise, let my sister know. Not to mention one Jing Zhaoyin, even ten of them will lose their heads! Get your bullshit out of here right now..."

Before Hong Wentao finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked from behind and fell to the ground with a thud.Looking back, he saw Gongsun Zhuoyu standing behind him at some point.

Gongsun Zhuoyu obviously didn't have the temperament to be scolded, let alone in public. If he really endured it, how would he be able to hold his head high in the future?He lifted the hem of his official robe, stepped on Hong Wentao's back, and asked in a bad tone: "What, you want to see me?"

Hong Wentao wanted to speak, but he was stepped on the ground and his chest was blocked with a breath. He was speechless for a long time.He coughed repeatedly and struggled like a green turtle.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu finally felt a little better. He stood up with his hands behind his back and said righteously: "As a Jing Zhaoyin, I am in charge of public security in the capital. I have summoned you to review cases and redress grievances. It is my duty. Regardless of your background.No matter how tough you are, if you violate the king's law, you will not be able to escape the blame."

After saying this, he ordered to the government officials: "Whoever comes, please be escorted in by me!"

His words were so beautiful that some of the people watching had already cheered. Others felt that Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know the heights of the world. When the Hong family came, who knew whether he would regret capturing Hong Wentao.

Gongsun Zhuoyu turned around and walked into the inner room and sat down in the court hall.At this time, someone had brought Wang Xu up, but they saw that he was just a weak scholar with a bruised face and messy bun. He had been detained in prison for several days and looked extremely miserable.

The government officials looked at him with great care, and helped him kneel on the ground before letting go and retreating to the sides.The outside was crowded with people watching, stretching their necks to watch the excitement.

Gongsun Zhuoyu read the file carefully, then looked down the hall and found that Hong Wentao was staring at him with hatred, and he was happy: "Hong Wentao, according to what is written in this file, you sued Wang Xu for beating you and him in the street.Your entourage, yes or no?"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows it's impossible. That scholar Wang has thin arms and legs, and he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could he beat someone in the street?

Hong Wentao was used to being arrogant, so he smiled disdainfully when he heard this: "So what."

Wang Xu struggled to kneel down in the hall, his figure was shaky. Hearing this, he didn't know where he got the strength. He suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: "Sir! The common people did not beat anyone in the street! It was Hong Wentao who led his evil servants to bully the women of good families. The common people could not bear to witness it.He came to help me, but who would have thought that he would lead someone to beat me up, please redress my grievance!"

Hong Wentao didn't show any signs of panic. He straightened his sleeves and sneered, "That's nice to say. Do you have any witnesses?"

Since he dared to say this, it must have been arranged privately by the Hong family. If there were witnesses, why would Wang Xu have to suffer in prison for so many days.

Wang Xu's face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time. In a mixture of shock and anger, he spit out blood and splashed on the ground in a bright red color.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was startled, thinking that this man was too angry. He straightened up slightly and took a look, then sat back and reached out to Wen Zhongqing: "Go and see what's wrong with him."?”

Wen Zhongqing took a look and saw that the man was still breathing, so he explained in a low voice: "Sir, that scholar Wang was already weak, and he was severely beaten by Hong Wentao, and suffered several days in prison.It was the blood that was vomited out of anger."

Gongsun Zhuoyu waved his hand to signal him to leave, and seeing Hong Wentao's proud face, he asked in an unclear voice: "Hong Wentao, you said that Wang Xu beat you in the street, but I see that he has no power to restrain a chicken. Is heHow was he beaten?"

Hong Wentao was extremely shameless, far better than Gongsun Zhuoyu: "He looked weak, but I was spoiled and frailer than him. He couldn't even swing his fist. That day he pinned me to the ground and beat me severely. IHow can you fight back?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu said oh, then looked at Wang Xu: "How do you explain?"

Wang Xu spit out a mouthful of bruises just now, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. His heart became a little smoother, and his energy was a little stronger than before. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, he is obviously full of nonsense!"

Hong Wentao smiled but said, "That day when you beat me in the street, all my servants saw it, and I couldn't tolerate your denial."

To deal with shameless people, you have to use shameless methods.Gongsun Zhuoyu thought for a moment and suddenly said to Wang Xu: "You, stand up and hit him."

Wang Xu was stunned when he heard this and didn't react for a long time. Even Hong Wentao was dumbfounded and said angrily: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, you are so brave! Even if you are the governor of Jingzhao, you still need a reason to beat someone!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu calmly took a sip of tea: "Oh, I am just a little curious about how Wang Xu, who is so weak, beats people. Mr. Hong just wants to suffer a little and suffer a little for the truth to come out, so he can bear with it for now., if it is true, I will definitely punish him in accordance with the law."

After saying that, he put the tea cup back on the table, slapped the gavel tree hard, and said in a deep voice to Wang Xu: "How you beat Hong Wentao that day, now show it to me exactly as it is, without any omissions."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xu clenched his fists subconsciously and looked at Hong Wentao.

Hong Wentao now knew what it was like to shoot himself in the foot, but he couldn't fight back yet. If he fought back and knocked Wang Xu down, wouldn't he overturn what he just said.

"You, you, you...don't come here!"

When Hong Wentao saw Wang Xu approaching, he hurriedly backed away: "My father is the Minister of Justice. If you dare to touch me, you will be killed!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu slapped the gavel hard, and kept encouraging from the side: "Fight! If you do anything wrong, just blame it on me!"

Although Wang Xu was a scholar, he was beaten severely by Hong Wentao and was framed and sent to prison. It was a lie in his heart that he had no resentment.When he heard what Gongsun Zhuoyu said, he gritted his teeth and simply punched Hong Wentao in the face with all his strength. Then the fists fell like raindrops, and he punched randomly without any order.

After all, he is an adult man. Even if he is weak, it will still hurt if he hits someone.

How could Hong Wentao, a young man who grew up in a honey pot, endure such pain? He held his head and endured it for a few times, but finally couldn't help resisting and kicked Wang Xu more than two meters away. His face was ashen and he shouted angrily.Scolding: "Wang Xu, you are so tired of living that you dare to attack me. Do you not want to live anymore?"

Wang Xu was kicked so much that he vomited blood and struggled on the ground for a long time, unable to get up for a long time.

Gongsun Zhuoyu had been waiting for this moment. When he saw this, he said in a deep voice: "Come here, take Hong Wentao into prison quickly!"

Hong Wentao refused to accept it, scratched his neck and said: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, why do you want to take me!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu sneered and said: "The kick you just made was full of energy. You have obviously practiced kung fu. Wang Xu's physical weakness and shortness of breath are caused by a weak heart that has been there for many years. How could he beat you and your servants in the street?It shows that there is not a word of truth in your mouth!"

After saying this, he threw two chips down and said, "I'll drag him down and beat him twenty times, and put him in jail to await judgment!"

After hearing this, the officials on both sides looked at each other, thinking that the newly appointed Fuyin master actually had two brushes, and even Hong Wentao dared to hit him.There was no ambiguity immediately, and he immediately covered the person's mouth and dragged him down. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be tall people to support him, so even if something happened, it wouldn't be their fault.

As for the other one...

Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at Wang Xu, who was lying on the ground half-dead. He stretched out his hand to call Wen Zhongqing and said, "There must be some silver coins on Hong Wentao's body. Go and search for them. Find a doctor and take them to Wang Shusheng for treatment."

He is not willing to spend a penny more.

Wen Zhongqing had never done such a shameless thing before, so he hesitated and said, "Sir, isn't this bad?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked at him: "How about you pay for him to find a doctor?"

Wen Zhongqing: "My subordinates are going to search Hong Wentao's body right now."

When the people outside saw the trial of the case finished, they were still unsatisfied and refused to leave. Apparently they had not seen enough of the excitement, so they gathered together in twos and threes and whispered.

"This Jing Zhaoyin is quite courageous. He dares to try this kind of case, but he actually dares to beat Hong Wentao."

"I just hope he doesn't get into trouble by the Hong family."

"If there are any difficult cases in the future, maybe we can sue the officials. This one is much better than the previous fool named Chu."

Hong Wentao was beaten twenty times and was thrown directly into prison.His servants hurried back to the palace to fetch reinforcements, but who would have thought that the Minister of Punishment was discussing matters in the palace, so they had to rush to the palace gate to guard it until the sun went down.

But at this time, Gongsun Zhuoyu was ready to leave the office and go home.

The Jingzhao Mansion specially opened a residence for officials to live in. Seeing that Gongsun Zhuoyu seemed to be leaving, Wen Zhongqing wondered: "Don't you live in the mansion? Your subordinates specially ordered people to clean the room and put everything in order.”

When Gongsun Zhuoyu heard this, he thought, Chu Lianjiang is a very corrupt official, and there might be some priceless treasures in that room, so there is no harm in going there.He coughed lightly and said pretentiously: "In that case, I will go and have a look."

When he thought that there might be a treasure in the room, he walked faster than anyone else, even Wen Zhongqing couldn't catch him from behind.

Gongsun Zhuoyu found the master bedroom and pushed the door directly in. He saw a calligraphy and painting hanging in the middle hall, with a Buddha statue on it. There was a translucent gauze hanging above, and a woman with a maid's bun could be vaguely seen kneeling devoutly.Chanting sutras in front of Buddha.

No...

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that it would be terrible for Du Lingchun to see this girl.He lifted the gauze curtain and stepped forward, frowning and wondering: "Girl, who are you? Why are you here?"

There is an incense burner in front of the Buddha, and the strong scent of sandalwood makes people dizzy.The woman remained motionless. Only the wind from outside blew into the house, blowing up the ends of her dry and discolored hair. The gauze curtain behind her danced wildly, and there was a faint smell of corpses.

Gongsun Zhuoyu's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly realized something was wrong. He tentatively raised his hand and patted the woman's shoulder. However, before using any force, the other woman's figure maintained the posture of worshiping the Buddha just now, and fell straight down.

There was just a soft "dong" sound, and it seemed that what fell to the ground was not a person, but a cold and angular object.

Only then did Gongsun Zhuoyu see the woman's face clearly, his pupils dilated involuntarily, and he took two steps back in shock——

It was an extremely strange corpse.

The woman had obviously been dead for a long time, and there were dense bruises on her face.Her face was horrified, her eyes were split open, her mouth was opened to an incredible extent, and it was torn open behind her ears, and she looked like she was smiling weirdly.His hands were stiffly clasped together in a worshiping posture, his mouth was filled with wax oil, and a white wick was exposed.

"call……"

The wind outside suddenly picked up, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled like thick ink, sinking little by little, and even the vision became a little dim.In a daze, the woman's head was facing Gongsun Zhuoyu, and the corners of her mouth were cleft behind her ears, as if she was smiling at him.

This is a human wax statue.

The author has something to say: Gongsun Zhuoyu (frightened):...
