Seeing him kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Liu Xie grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears. Good boy, you know how powerful he is!

See if I don't keep you in check.

After quietly gathering his emotions, Liu Xie narrowed his eyes and said, "Spare you? Gao Rou, have you forgotten what I said to you before? As an adult, you have to be responsible for your own actions."

"My lord, I am willing to take responsibility!"

Liu Xie nodded slightly, supported his head with his hands and looked at him: "But I can also see that you are willing to take responsibility, but you don't want to die, right?"

"……yes!"

Gao Rou had been an official for many years. When he heard what the emperor said, he knew that the matter was slow and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

What kind of character, face, these frivolous things can be eaten? Living is the most real thing.

Carrot plus stick was originally the most useful trick, and Liu Xie was very happy.

He knew very well how capable Gao Rou was. Although he was still under Cao Cao's account, if he could win over him, he would be a powerful general.

In the late Three Kingdoms period, the two most famous Legalist figures were Gao Rou and Zhong Yao. In the end, these two people were related to the entire process of the Three Kingdoms.

It would be a pity to kill such a master, and... I might not really dare to kill him, either.

How much Cao Cao cherished him can be seen from the treatment he received now. If he really killed him, he would not be able to explain it when Lao Cao came back.

Now that he was so scared that he almost peed his pants, he figured out that there was no need to keep holding on to him.

Besides, this time I came here because I had a problem at hand. I just took this opportunity to dump the trouble on him. In this way, I could not only test his ability personally, but also create some trouble between him and the old Cao family.

.

Xiaoxiang was sent out by the school affairs office. He must have been ordered by Cao Pi to interrogate Xiaoxiang, just in time to stir up trouble!

Moreover, it is convenient for me to have an explanation for Fu Shou.

After all, his main purpose of framing Xiaoxiang for stealing this time was to save her.

This girl Fu Shou is soft-hearted and pities Xiaoxiang, but Xiaoxiang is from the school affairs office, so he is destined to not be able to keep her by his side, so the best way to get the best of both worlds is to let Xiaoxiang betray Cao Pi.

As long as she said the words "school affairs office", it would be equivalent to severing all contact with Cao Pi, and at that time, Cao Pi would never trust her again.

After that, Liu Xie returned Xiaoxiang, who had been regarded as an abandoned child, to Fu Shou. Then the matter was settled. Not only did he get rid of the spies around him, but he also fulfilled his wife's wish.

Alas, he worked hard just to win the beauty's smile.

But after all calculations, this is killing three birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie looked at Gao Rou with a smile: "Gao Rou, you said you don't want to die, then you have to give me a reason not to kill you. Since Lord Sikong placed you in Tingwei, it shows that you are trying the case.

He must have extraordinary abilities in this area, and just in time, I have a case in hand for you to judge."

"I value this result very much. Do you understand what it means?"

"My lord, I understand."

Although Gao Rou promised happily, she was scolded in her heart.

clear?

I understand your grandma’s legs!

I still don’t know what the case is, how can I understand it?

However, Gao Rou only dared to keep these words in her heart.

Gao Rou, who was up and down every day, put on the Xie Zhi robe and Xie Zhi crown, sat down on the throne, and then ordered someone to bring Xiao Xiang to the court.

When everything was arranged, Liu Xie also sat down behind the bead curtain. Gao Rou, Gao Rou, the conclusion of today's case is also related to your future. I hope that in addition to being strict in the administration of justice, you also have a little bit of power.

, don’t let me down.

Taking the tea, Liu Xie leaned there calmly and observed meaningfully.

However, as soon as Gao Rou came to the court, without asking any questions, she opened her mouth and was so shocked that Liu Xie spat out the tea he had just drank.

"Come on, first put hundreds of flowers and leaves on the prisoner, and then give her eighty reds."

Baihualuolie and Yanhong are both code words in the court. The so-called Baihualuoliye refers to a hundred kilograms of solid wood shackles, and Yanhong is a rattan stick rolled with iron leaves. When these two things are combined together, the prisoner is half-lying, with his neck just right.

With half of his body stuck, it was very difficult to breathe. When he was beaten again, the feeling was indescribable.

No one expected that Gao Rou would be cruel when he came up. Under his greeting, the guards started to mess around.

"Sir! This slave is unjustly accused!"

Xiaoxiang didn't expect such a result. She shouted loudly, but no one would pay attention to her. In the blink of an eye, the shackles and sticks fell down, and before she could scream a few times, she fainted.

This bastard!

Seeing this scene, Liu Xie couldn't sit still. Although torture can weaken a person's mind and make it easier for him to achieve his goal, this kid was rushing for his life as soon as he came here.

Isn’t this how he usually asks questions?!

Liu Xie was about to get angry, but fortunately Liu Jin, who was beside him, suddenly leaned over and reminded him that he knew much more about the ways of the court than the emperor.

After all, he is a high-level internal official and is in charge of the eunuchs in the palace. Although he does not have much real power, he often deals with those in the palace. He is very experienced in this aspect.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, Gao Rou is doing this just to vent his anger.

"He just lost face in front of so many people, and he is angry in his heart. Besides, what he just said was just the color red. The so-called beauty is bright and beautiful, so these eighty blows can only break the flesh but not the bones. You don't have to

Worry.

"And my slave, I'm watching. It's a good thing that Gao Rou is doing this. Only when he has vented his anger can he be able to do his job honestly. Just watch."

In the courtroom, after eighty sticks were beaten, Xiaoxiang had become more angry and less angry.

Liu Xie watched from behind, feeling anxious in his heart.

Although Liu Jin had just given herself a dose of reassurance, seeing is believing and Xiaoxiang has become as virtuous as she is now. If Gao Rou becomes ruthless later, wouldn't everything be in vain?

This was the first time that Liu Xie couldn't sit still. He frowned and was considering whether to intervene. Suddenly, Gao Rou, who was interrogating the case in front of him, came to him half-reverently and cautiously asked: "Your Majesty.

, how do you think we should review it next?”

What?!

Liu Xie glanced at Gao Rou, his mind racing, could this guy be a melon? Wasn't what I hinted obvious enough?

Or... is he playing ball with me, or is he trying to smear me in the face?

Why are there always unscrupulous people trying to harm me?

Just as he was thinking about it, Gao Rou seemed to have noticed something, and quickly explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. This inquiry is just to know...do you want to keep this woman?"
