Zhao Yun was furious and could not hide the anger on his face. Zhao Yun said angrily: "How dare you bully me from a small country like Qi!"
Immediately, Zhao Yun picked up his pen and wrote a letter, and finally handed it to Yuan Shao, saying: "The Qing family sent this book to the Lord of Ziqi. I want to tell the world that I am very angry and the consequences will be serious.
"
Today's Song Dynasty, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, not only forced the Jin Kingdom to pay compensation, but also achieved brilliant results against Mongolia. It can be said that externally, the Song Dynasty has not been afraid of anyone.
But who would have thought that a mere self-Qi country would dare to provoke us and kill the border residents of the Song Dynasty? How could Zhao Yun endure this!
Yuan Shao realized Zhao Yun's thoughts and was shocked. He did not expect that Zhao Yun would take this matter so seriously.
The borderland has always been a place of darkness. No matter how peaceful the world is, there will always be people from the opposite side who come to kill people and steal goods, or even massacre villages and destroy villages. There are countless such things in the past dynasties.
And once it happens, because it is difficult to make the matter bigger, and worried that it will not be able to end and trigger a war between the two countries, they often adopt the strategy of minimizing the major issue and minimizing the minor issue.
Sometimes, they simply blame it on the bandits and ignore it. People who understand the situation have long been accustomed to it and are not surprised.
But it was obvious that if Zhao Yun met him this time, it would be impossible for him to be kind.
Yuan Shao solemnly raised his hand and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Yuan Shao took Zhao Yun's handwriting and went down to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Jiang Chongzhen was even more in awe of Zhao Yun. At the same time, she also knew that a war might break out between the Song Dynasty and Ziqi State, so she asked Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, will the wedding be postponed?"
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "The monarch's wedding ceremony is a big event, how can it be delayed by a mere small country? Everything is as usual."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jiang Chongzhen raised his hand in agreement and finally resigned.
Zhao Yun calmed down, tried to control his emotions, and then continued to review the memorial.
After all the memorials were reviewed, Zhao Yun stood up and walked to the main hall of Funing Hall. Zhao Yun also needed to personally handle the reform. Zhao Yun also wanted to cut himself in half and use it.
While walking in the palace corridor, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, and said to Gao Shi, "Gao Shi, please send an empty food box to Zhu Zhu."
"Empty food box?"
Gao Shi was confused. It was common for emperors to reward ministers with dishes when they appreciated them, but this was not the case with empty food boxes.
Gao Shi didn't know why, but he couldn't ask any more questions, so he just followed the instructions.
Zhu Zhu, the Minister of Punishment, was on duty. Zhu Zhu had a frown on his face, looking like he couldn't make up his mind, and his face was red with anxiety.
At this time, the biggest culprit in the Ministry of Punishment is undoubtedly Wang Jin. This matter was impeached by Yan Guan. Zhao Yun personally gave instructions to arrest all the people. Now, Ling Ling Zongzong has arrested no less than a hundred people. What should be done with these people?
, but it made Zhu Zhu extremely embarrassed.

All officials knew that Wang Jin had been deeply trusted by Zhao Yun before. This time he was imprisoned and questioned, and they did not know what Zhao Yun's true attitude was.
Zhu Zhu was anxious and murmured to himself, "Are the officials really angry with Wang Jin, or are they just going through the motions to appease Yan Guan?"
Zhu Zhu did not dare to make a decision easily. If he made a wrong judgment, he was afraid that his job would be ruined.
When he was worried, he heard that Gao Shi was coming, and Zhu Zhu quickly stood up to greet him.
"I didn't know that when Eunuch Gao came, he would not welcome you from afar, and it would be rude and impolite."
Zhu Zhu didn't dare to make excuses and was very polite to Gao Shi.
Gao Shi said humbly: "Your Majesty is a high-ranking official in the ministry. I trouble you to welcome me in person. It is my family who should express my gratitude. How can we dare to blame you?"
"Wherever, please come in, Eunuch Gao."
Zhu Zhu politely invited Gao Shi into the check-in room, and then asked Gao Shi why he came.
Gao Shi handed an empty food box to Zhu Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, this is a reward given to you by the government. You should keep it."
Zhu Zhu took the empty food box and looked at the food box in his hand stupidly, wondering what Zhao Yun wanted to convey.
Zhu Zhu was puzzled and asked cautiously: "May I ask my father-in-law, what is the purpose of the official giving me this thing?"
Gao Shi shook his head and said: "It's not like we can figure out the official's wishes at will. Just keep it safe for you. Since you are busy with your affairs, we won't disturb you too much and leave first."
Zhu Zhu sent Gao Shi away, and then spent a long time looking around the food box in the check-in room, but still couldn't figure it out.
There was no other way. After leaving the office, Zhu Zhu took the food box to his friend Wei Liaoweng's house and asked him about the reason.
Wei Liaoweng also didn't understand why. He said: "Officials generally don't give things to others. This must be something they have in mind. Please don't get it wrong."
Zhu Zhu had a grimace on his face and said, "Who says it's not the case? I was just worried that I might mislead the officials, so I came to ask you for advice. Now you don't know. What should you tell me to do?"
"
Wei Liaoweng gave Zhu Zhu an idea and said, "Food boxes are mostly used by women. You might gain something from going home and asking your wife for advice."
Zhu Zhu had no choice but to obey his words and go home to tell his wife about the matter.
Madam Zhu Zhu, Mrs. Chen, held up the food box and said, "The food box is empty, just put something in it. Husband, you are in charge of the punishment department. Are there prisoners on your hands now? Are the officials hinting at you to add charges to the prisoners?"
Zhu Zhu was shocked and connected Wang Jin's thoughts together. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.
But this matter was of great importance, and he did not dare to draw conclusions easily, so he took the food box and asked his mother for advice.
His mother said: "The food box is naturally used to store wine and food. When it is empty, it is too light and feels uncomfortable to carry in your hand."
"Empty, too light,"
Zhu Zhu patted his thigh one last time and it was done.
After that, Zhu Zhu tortured Wang Jin, Ding Youzhi, Ma Ke, and the magistrates of various counties, and extracted confessions from their servants one by one, hoping to extract more charges.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. Saints are still guilty of three points, let alone ordinary people. Moreover, Wang Jin and others are not good people. After being tortured to extract confessions, they will naturally be guilty of a laundry list of crimes. What?
There are a lot of things like robbing women of the people, oppressing good people, lending money at usury, forcing people to hang themselves and jump into rivers.
Zhu Zhu finally sorted out the charges and presented them to Zhao Yun for review.
Zhao Yun looked at the crimes one by one and was shocked by the crimes committed by Wang Jin and others. Especially when it was confirmed that Wang Jin ordered his servant to assassinate Chen Guiyi, he was even more angry.
Without hesitation, Zhao Yun said angrily: "Kill them all. Kill them one by one at Caishikou in front of the people."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhu successfully passed the test, a stone fell in his heart, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, Wang Jin, Ma Ke, Ding Chang, Ding Youzhi, Ma Zhengweng and others were sent to the execution ground and executed. The people watching all clapped their hands and applauded, and the public anger was calmed down.
