The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 211 Once Back to Before Liberation
Zhu Biao looked at Zheng Xiong's miserable appearance, feeling a little embarrassed, it was all his own fault.

I couldn't bear it, so I stood up and defended Zheng Xiong.

"Father, my son has something to say."

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao speechlessly, he didn't ask you for your affairs, just don't talk, and no one bothers you.

With this opening of your mouth, others can't even ignore you, so there is still something to say.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lao Zhu could only signal Zhu Biao to speak.

"What's the matter."

"The alcohol I and Champion Hou drank was provided by my minister, and the drinks were also provided by my minister. If you say you are guilty, your crime will be even worse."

"However, the effect of alcohol is significant. The champion Hou Zhengxiong has done countless alcoholic lives. If you say that you have committed the crime of beheading after just drinking a glass of alcohol, such a punishment is really unfair."

"I also hope that the father will take back his life and give the champion Hou justice."

Needless to say, Zhu Biao's words were true and reasonable, and the onlookers couldn't help nodding their heads.

Zheng Xiong was speechless, your reflex arc is too long, and half your life is gone, so what's the point of having something to say now.

However, Zhu Biao's protection made Zheng Xiong, who was isolated and helpless, feel a little warmth in his heart.

Anyway, all the fines have been fined, so it doesn't matter, and Zhu Biao's help is needed later, so Zheng Xiong simply took care of everything.

"Your Majesty, the matter of drinking was proposed by this minister. When His Highness saw that this minister returned to Beijing, it was not easy to refuse, so he brought wine to drink with this minister. It was all the fault of this minister and had nothing to do with Your Highness."

"So that's how it is. His Highness the Crown Prince and his ministers look down upon them. They are quite benevolent. They have their own rules and regulations in their actions, and they are even more strict with themselves. I said how could you break the ban without a reason? It turned out that you were the hindrance."

"Your Majesty, the champion marquis instigated the prince to break the drinking ban, and he should also be punished."

"The ministers think it is true. The prince is at most a subordinate crime, and his crime can be avoided. The champion should be the principal offender and should be severely punished."

The gap between people is so big, Zheng Xiong has something to do, no one to help.

As a result, as soon as Zhu Biao came, these people were just a group of people licking the upper body of dogs, and they all praised Zheng Xiong for all the crimes.

Zheng Xiong was also dumbfounded, I just took the blame and left a good impression on Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu.

Anyway, the penalty is also fined, it doesn't matter.

The angry expression of the crowd now is the rhythm of whipping corpses even if they were dead before.

Zhu Biao was even more embarrassed, he failed to help, and Zheng Xiong was tricked again in the end.

From the moment Zheng Xiong took the charge, the facts are no longer important, what matters is who people believe.

There is no doubt that it must be Zhu Biao. From the perspective of investment, Zhu Biao has more investment value.

Looking at the scene where spittle was flying everywhere, Zhu Biao knew that this was not the case, and he wanted to explain something to Zheng Xiong.

Old Zhu spoke ahead of time and didn't give Zhu Biao a chance to speak.

"Don't say a few words, just shut up for me."

Old Zhu still had to watch over the market, so he ended the scene like a vegetable market with one sentence, and then he spoke slowly.

"As the crown prince, the prince should strictly abide by the law. How difficult the people's livelihood is, the prince should lead by example."

"Now we take away all the supply from the Prince's Mansion as a punishment, do you think so?"

It seems that punishment has been made, and the punishment given is also in place. There is no supply, and there is no extravagant capital.

But everyone present knew that with only three melons and two dates, Lao Zhu could barely maintain a decent face, and the current Prince's Mansion didn't need Lao Zhu's subsidy at all.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, and there is nothing wrong with thinking about it carefully.

Since the prince is fine and everyone's attitude is in place, he didn't say much.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"Since Zheng Xiong has been sentenced to death, he has a gold medal to save him from death. If he is responsible for making alcohol, he will not be held accountable. Do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty's grace is mighty, and the ministers have no objection."

They didn't care about Zheng Xiong's life or death. Since Zhu Biao was fine and didn't intend to put Zheng Xiong to death, he didn't make trouble again.

Although the development of the matter was a little off, the result was okay, Lao Zhu continued.

"That being the case, let me say one last thing."

"Zheng Xiong, on the way back to Beijing, you led the returning army to detour through Cao County."

"As far as I know, it's because a group of people in Cao County took the belongings brought by your eldest brother, but there is such a thing."

"It's true, I'm guilty of this."

Anyway, just one sentence, obediently confessed, Zheng Xiong completely lay down.

Lao Zhu wants you to die, no matter how hard he struggles, he doesn't want you to die, no need to struggle, Lao Zhu always has a way to save your life.

From Lao Zhu's actions before, Zheng Xiong has already felt Lao Zhu's attitude towards him.

A handy tool man, but he has absolutely no intention of putting himself to death.

"Private use of public equipment, public avenging private revenge, did not lead to serious consequences at all, but just took back what belonged to me, but without reporting, openly using the law as a trifle."

"Wen Zhong, as the left governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, what crime should Zheng Xiong be punished in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for such operations?"

Lao Zhu's words completely silenced the group of generals.

To be honest, Zheng Xiong has a lot of bad deeds, and he did a lot of things in Yanmen, the standard is very low, it is definitely okay to criticize.

But Lao Zhu just brought up such a thing, which is obviously a warning to the military system.

Such a matter can be big or small, depending on its nature, the method of handling it will naturally be different.

According to Lao Zhu, there were no serious consequences.

Just mentioning such a matter alone, one can vaguely guess that Lao Zhu has some ideas about the army.

Today's punishment also determines the future penalty standard.

What does it mean to have laws to follow? Zheng Xiong's treatment will inevitably become the basis for future punishments.

This example can be used as a reference for all future penalties.

The laws of later generations are still the same, they all find a standard answer from the same cases, and then make a judgment based on the actual situation.

The first penalty is often the existence of a standard answer.

So it's not good news for the military generals. The first thing to think about before doing anything in the future is Zheng Xiong's consequences.

If I do this, can I bear it.

Li Wenzhong, as the leading figure of the generals, also had some headaches when faced with the difficult problems thrown by Lao Zhu.

A boss who doesn't know how to safeguard his own interests and eats inside and out is not a good boss.

But Lao Zhu is right in front of him, and Lao Zhu's appeal is also a key factor that he needs to consider.

Li Wenzhong, who looked distressed, thought for a long time before opening his mouth.

"I believe that the champion Hou's trip did not cause serious consequences, so the punishment should be mitigated."

"According to the system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it should be demoted to three ranks to see the aftermath. However, the champion Hou has not been assigned the position of military commander. It is not easy for me to judge here."

"Downgrade to three levels? It doesn't matter if you don't have a military post, you still have the position of Marquis."

"Since that's the case, Zheng Xiong has obeyed the order. From now on, he will take away the title of Champion Marquis, as a warning to others."

"You should take this as a warning and don't do whatever you want with the power in your hands."
