Chapter 703

He didn't look at Ma Jian either, but looked quietly at Wu Mao who was kneeling in the hall.

"If these moths of the country are not severely punished, there will be Li Mao, Wang Mao, and Zhang Mao in the future. At that time, the emperor will also ask them to return the embezzled military pay, and punish them casually?"

"If it's all like this, then what's the use of my Southern Chu laws? Why don't we deal with them as appropriate."

"Has the Prince Regent made a fuss over a molehill?"

"Unhealthy trends must not be encouraged!" Mo Zhanhua said righteously.

Ma Jian's face darkened.

Damn Mo Zhanhua, he really didn't give him any face!
The Chinese and military officials in the hall bowed their heads one by one, not daring to show their air.I was afraid that if I accidentally made a movement, it would attract the attention of those two on the stage.

For a long time, the hall was filled with an almost eerie silence.

"Your Majesty, Prince Regent." Prime Minister Feng stood up, and after saluting the two of them, he said: "The old minister thinks that the King Regent and Mr. Gu are right, and those who are corrupt and pervert the law like this should be severely punished. , will definitely leave people with criticism, thinking that my Southern Chu laws are child's play."

Ma Jian took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

She laughed softly and said, "Prime Minister is serious, it's nothing more than a case of misappropriation of materials. I think Wu Aiqing also knows that he was wrong, why don't we give him another chance to reform and let him make meritorious deeds."

There is a big difference between deducting military pay and misappropriating supplies.

The corners of Mo Zhanhua's lips twitched.

Gu Changci stood silently in the hall, his desolate face showed no joy or anger.

"Your Majesty, I really know my mistake." Wu Mao seized the opportunity and quickly admitted his mistake, forced out a few tears. "After you retire from the court, you will immediately go to borrow money. Even if you sell your house, land, children, and daughters, you will return the embezzled money to the treasury. I beg the emperor and the regent to give you another chance." , let the minister take the blame and make meritorious service." The voice fell, and he kowtowed a few times.

"Being extrajudicial is not a loss of human kindness. Since Wu Qing's family is willing to return the silver, I think it can be given lightly." Ma Jian insisted.

Mo Zhanhua didn't express his opinion, but looked at Song Yucheng, "Song Shangshu, Wu Shilang is from your military department. What do you think about this matter?" The unhurried voice made it hard to tell what his words were. intention of.

Song Yucheng was named, and he didn't dare to neglect, so he got out of the queue.

He is Ma Jian's person, so naturally he has to follow Ma Jian's meaning.Committing himself to salute, he opened his mouth and said: "Returning to the regent's words, I think that Wu Shilang used to be in the rear, and he always did his best to serve the country. If he made a mistake, it would be unfair to dismiss him and investigate. Please also Your Majesty and the Regent have made an exception, since he has no credit but also hard work, let him be spared."

"En." Mo Zhanhua nodded thoughtfully.

Ma Jian thought that he had finally let go of his mouth once, and was about to speak, but saw him ask Gu Changci again: "Master Gu, there are many cases in Dali Temple, and this king is puzzled about something, and I want to ask Mr. Gu for advice."

"My lord, please speak."

"Generally speaking, who would intercede for a prisoner?" He asked quietly.

"Accomplice." Gu Changci said without thinking.

As soon as this remark came out, Song Yucheng's face changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground, "I am wronged, please the regent king to investigate clearly."

"Well, then let Dali Temple investigate." Mo Zhanhua pushed the boat smoothly.When I looked at Gu Changci again, the sloppiness just now disappeared from my eyes, and there was an imposing manner that could not be refuted on the clear and solemn face, "Master Gu, Song Shangshu said that he was wronged, you have to give this king a good time." Check. If you dare to let Song Shangshu suffer the slightest injustice, this king will take off the black veil on your head!"

"Yes." Gu Chang resigned and accepted the order.
