A Clash of Gods - Chapter 904

[Chapter 894]

There was a smile on Qi Ning’s face, but everyone could see that there was not the slightest smile in the eyes of the little Marquis.

Cao Sen was stared at by Qi Ning’s eyes, his back was already sweating, and even cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.

“Master Hou, humble job…!”

“There is no Marquis in the hall of the Ministry of Punishment.” Qi Ning’s voice was slightly cold: “Everyone remembers that sitting here is the Minister of Punishment, which is the Lord of the Ministry in your mouth.”

Cao Sen hurriedly said: “Sir Butang, Biezhi… After I returned home last night, I really…have been checking the file…!”

Qi Ning smiled slightly, nodded and said: “Everyone has heard clearly, Cao Sishen said to this official that after he left the yamen last night, he went home and checked the file until Zi Shi Shifen. Because of this, he was almost one day late today. It’s time.” Sitting upright, he said slowly, “If I stay up late because of official business, and I’m a little late today, this official will punish him greatly, and many people must be unconvinced. In fact, this official is not an unreasonable person… ..!” He bent down and took a small wooden sign from under the table in his hand. The small wooden sign looked very elegant and was tied with a red sash. Qi Ning lifted the small wooden sign and said with a smile: “Do you guys know what this is?”

When the officials saw it, many people were stunned.

“I think some of you have already recognized this brand.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “It’s not a sin for a man to be romantic. There is an alley in Beicheng called Zhiyan Alley. Hearing the name, it is very fragrant. In fact, in that alley, More fragrant, there is a good place called Zhiyan Pavilion!”

Many officials suddenly showed strange expressions, and some even smiled knowingly.

“I don’t need to say more about the place of Zhiyan Pavilion.” Qi Ning said, “There are dozens of girls in there, Yanshou Huanfei, with thousands of styles, each girl has a brand, this brand The owner of the house is considered a red card in the Zhiyan Pavilion.” He threw the wooden sign at Cao Sen’s feet and said lightly, “Cao Sishen, come and tell everyone, what does this girl look like?”

When Cao Sen saw the sign, his face was already pale. When the sign landed at his feet, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He bent down and picked up the wooden sign. Sleeve wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, opened his mouth, but was speechless.

“Yesterday, you really left the Department of Punishment Yamen at You Shi.” Qi Ning stared straight at Cao Sen: “But you didn’t go home.” There was a piece of paper in his hand, looking at the paper and said: ” You went directly to the Baixi Building in the east of the city, and met a gentleman from Kuaiji, the man was Wu Xianzhong…!” He looked up at Cao Sen and asked, “I didn’t say the wrong name, right? ?”

At this time, Cao Sen was already pale and trembling all over. He had long lost the composure he had before, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.

“You stayed in Baixi Building for more than an hour, during which you called two singers.” Qi Ning’s voice was brisk: “Leaving Baixi Building, you all went directly to Zhiyan Pavilion. Zhiyan Pavilion is very familiar to you, Sishen Cao. You have to go there four or five times a month. In the past two months, you have been hanging out with a girl named Yu Xue, and last night was no exception. In Zhiyan Pavilion, you stayed until Zi Shi , I just left. The expenses inside were all paid by the noble man named Wu Xianzhong. Not only that, but yesterday Wu Xianzhong gave you a generous gift. You buy a private house, and then redeem the girl named Yu Xue and put it in that private house.” At this point, Qi Ning sighed and asked, “Cao Sishen, if what I said is inaccurate place, you can refute it now.”

At this time, Cao Sen only felt that his legs were weak, and he lost his strength for a while. He fell to his knees on the ground, opened his mouth, and was speechless.

All the officials in the lobby were horrified. When they saw Cao Sen’s reaction, they knew that what Qi Ning had said was not bad.

“Cao Sen, if you don’t speak, do you disagree with what this official said?” Qi Ning smiled and said, “If you think what I said is wrong, I can ask that Wu Xianzhong to come over immediately. Although you went to Zhiyan Pavilion last night. Not many people know about it, but there are still a few witnesses, if you want, this official can pass them over now, including the Yuxue girl, in short, you will never be wronged, what do you think?”

Cao Sen finally recovered at this time, fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: “Hou… No, no, no, Lord Butang, humble job… humble job damn it, humble job last night… ….!”

“It’s not a sin for a man to spend a lot of time drinking and drinking, I just said that.” Qi Ning sighed, “But you lied to Shangguan in public. You are obviously a drunken fan of drinking and drinking, but in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, you told us that you stayed up all night to work on errands. Cao Sen, you are really brave.”

“Imperial post… I’m guilty of a low post, I’ll never dare again in the future, I beg… I beg the Lord of the Ministry for mercy, spare this time, I’ll never dare again… …!” At this time, Cao Sen lost his arrogance, trembling all over, and kowtows again and again.

Qi Ning sneered and said: “So, you are admitting that what this official just said is not wrong. This is very good…!” Turning to Chu Mingwei, he asked: “Master Chu, you lied to Shangguan, I don’t know. What is the crime?”

Chu Mingwei looked solemn and cupped his hands: “Reporting to the Lord of the Ministry, this should be punished according to the facts, according to the crime committed by Cao Sen, at least fifty sticks, in addition to dismissal from office, no more use!”

“Rewards and punishments are clear, no matter which yamen should be like this, let alone the punishment department yamen.” Qi Ning said lightly: “Cao Sen, do you understand what Mr. Chu said?”

Cao Sen raised his head and said, “Lord Butang, the humble position… The humble position is indeed at fault, but… But the humble position has been in the Xingbu Yamen for more than ten years, and…and it was Mr. Qian who single-handedly picked it up. ……!” Having said this, he realized that he had said something wrong, and it was impossible to take it back.

“Master Qian?” Qi Ning really grabbed it and said, “You mean Qian Rao Shun?” He laughed and said, “This official knows that there are still many people in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment who are thinking that one day that Qian Rao Shun If Lord Shunqian can make a comeback, this official may be leaving at this Punishment Yamen, I wonder if that is the case?”

There are indeed many people in the Xingbu Yamen who have such thoughts. At this time, when Qi Ning said it outright, their hearts shuddered.

“However, I still advise you that the sage issued a decree and personally dismissed Qian Raoshun. If Qian Raoshun can make a comeback and reuse it, doesn’t it mean that the sage’s decree is not wise enough?” Qi Ning said coldly, “Qian Raoshun. The case is still under review, this person is a minister of punishment, knowing the law and breaking the law, practicing favoritism, extorting confessions by severe torture, and even concocting a perjury, how can such a serious crime be forgiven lightly?”

Qi Ning’s voice was so loud that all the officials present did not dare to look at Qi Ning for a while.

“This official said this, I just want you to be clear, how you lived in the past, I can’t control, but how you live in the future, you must follow the rules of the court.” Qi Ning said lightly: “Some people are thinking, I am Qi Ning. From the experience of no punishment name, if you come to the punishment department, you don’t have to worry about it. You don’t have to worry about it. The emperor has ordered me to take charge of the punishment name. , whoever breaks the rules should do it according to the law.”

Originally, many officials were thinking about whether to come out to seek marriage for Cao Sen, but when they heard Qi Ning’s words, they immediately hesitated.

Many people felt similar to Cao Sen’s calculations, and felt that Qian Raoshun had helped Sima Clan in the change of the imperial mausoleum. Regardless, the possibility of a comeback is very high, so I thought that if Qian Raoshun really made a comeback, he really couldn’t get too close to Qi Ning.

But at this time, I suddenly realized that Qian Raoshun may not really be able to make a comeback due to the obstruction of Jinyi Qi’s family. The most important thing is that Qi Ning is now a well-deserved minister of punishment, and the current official is now in charge. It is really unwise to reject this little prince with the idea of a comeback.

The scene that happened to Cao Sen was well known to everyone present. Qi Ning obviously expected that Cao Sen would deliberately embarrass him today, so he made preparations in advance and deliberately punished Cao Sen in front of everyone today. .

Cao Sen knew that disaster was imminent, but he still held the last trace of luck, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com bowed his hands to the surrounding officials: “Everyone, please… I also ask you to read my colleagues for many years, help me to the ministry. Your Excellency is begging for mercy. Cao has been in the penal department for many years, and he can be considered conscientious. Just because…just because he was late for an hour today, he…will be punished by this. It’s really… !” But he didn’t say anything.

At this time, the surrounding officials knew that Qi Ning was going to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and who would dare to be implicated, one by one, without going to see Cao Sen.

Qi Ning sneered, looked at Chu Mingwei, Chu Mingwei knew it, and said solemnly: “Come here, take Cao Sen down, and beat him with fifty sticks!”

Cao Sen knew in his heart that after fifty sticks, he would be disabled if he didn’t die. At this time, he slammed his heart and said loudly: “My lords, today… today you want to watch me get punished? Today I, Cao Sen, are late for being late. If you have to suffer such a severe punishment, tomorrow… tomorrow maybe because of other things the size of sesame seeds, you will also suffer injustice, don’t I have someone who dares to speak up in the yamen of the Punishment Department?”

Not only will he be subject to fifty sticks, but he will also be dismissed from office and his future will be ruined. At this time, in a desperate situation, he simply becomes desperate and shouts in public, hoping that the officials of the Punishment Department will join hands to fight against Qi Ning.

It’s just this time, knowing that Cao Sen’s catastrophe is imminent, who would go through this muddy water.

At this time, several police officers from the Ministry of Punishment had already entered the hall, and they were about to drag Cao Sen down to be tortured. Hearing Cao Sen shouting, Qi Ning raised his hand and said, “Hold on!” Leaning forward, his eyes were like knives, staring at Cao Sen and said: : “Cao Sen, I wanted to give you face because you have been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years. Since you are shameless, then I don’t need to keep it for you.” He took out a file from under the table. , handed it to Chu Mingwei, sneered, and said: “Master Chu, you are the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, this case is handed over to you to handle!”
