Two hundred and eighty-sixth chapter can not be changed
Shufang Hall.
Bo Ronnu was still talking to Queen Bo with a smile on his face.
At this time, a eunuch walked in, approached Queen Bo gently, and whispered a few words.
"I understand, the prince can do whatever he wants..." After hearing this, Queen Bo nodded noncommittally.
Then, Empress Bo turned her head and said to Bo Ronnu: "The prince just sent a message, and the Zhang family cannot stay!"
"The prince has ordered Tingwei's executioner to take over..."
Two faint sentences came out of Queen Bo's mouth.
It stirred up waves in Bo Rongnu's heart.
"Sure enough..." Bo Ronnu lamented.
He remembered that winter night twenty years ago...
Snowflakes were falling, and his father was sitting on a high platform.
A glass of sake was placed on the table.
Outside the door, the sound of lamentations and mourning continued endlessly.
The prime minister, the imperial censor, the lieutenant, and the court lieutenant were all mourning.
Weeping for the great general Chariot and Cavalry General Zhihou Bo Zhao died young.
And his father also drank the glass of wine resolutely, and then died young as the ministers expected.
At this moment, although the situation is different, the situation is the same.
Bo Rongnu knew that this result was inevitable.
So, he sighed leisurely.
The Bo family, just like twenty years ago, tried their best to save one person, but in the end they found that the result was even worse after trying so hard...
I have to say, this is really an irony!
Bo Ronnu knew very well that at this moment, just like twenty years ago, as long as Queen Bo sitting in front of him said a word, the Bo family's face could be saved, and at least there would be a decent result.
But today's Empress Bo is just like Empress Dowager Bo twenty years ago, just quietly sipping her tea with her head down.

Nei Shi Yamen prison.
Zhang Gui shook the cell door very arrogantly and shouted: "Let him go quickly! Do you know who I am? I, Xijun, am the niece of the current queen!"
Of course Zhang Gui felt that he was wronged.
The reason for his unjust accusation is of course not that he has not done anything.
Rather, he felt that maybe some people below did not open their eyes and did not know his identity, so they caught him.
So, he yelled like this.
Click!
The cell door was opened.
A group of government officials filed in, surrounded by a young official.
It’s Zhang Tang, the official who punished Cao Cao!
Zhang Gui recognized this family member at a glance.
There are too few people in Chang'an City who don't know Zhang Tang.
Who is this person? Before he was twenty years old, he was already the crown prince, leading the orders and punishing Cao's officials. Not surprisingly, twenty years later, he would have a place among the three nobles of the Han family.
"Zhang Lingli, Zhang Lingli..." Zhang Gui became excited: "You are here to release me on behalf of the prince, right?"
When he thought about it, this must be the case.
The Bo family is very small. Counting foreigners, there are only a few dozen people in total.
A few days ago, his wife came to visit him in prison and said that she would definitely save him.
He also believed it deeply.
In Zhang Gui's view, his backstage is the prince, so no one dares to touch him. Because touching him would be a slap in the prince's face!
It was precisely because of this that he dared to get involved in Du's plot.
Because even if the matter is exposed, he can still escape intact!
Zhang Tang walked forward expressionlessly, waved his hand, and the tall and thick guard behind him stepped forward and opened the cell door.
"Zhang Gui, you are suspected of hiring murderers, paying bribes, and ruining the reputation of the prince and the queen. The crime is extremely heinous. I am the court captain who punished Cao Lingli Zhang Tang. Your crime is unforgivable. The punishment of cutting off the waist and abandoning the city will be executed immediately! Family property
Confiscated them all!" Zhang Tang said calmly.
The expression on Zhang Gui's face was dull at this moment.
Cut off the market and abandon the market...
"How is it possible?" Zhang Gui shouted: "Absolutely impossible!"
According to Han law, the death penalty is also divided into three, six or nine grades.
Generally, the death penalty is carried out in winter.
Basically, people sentenced to this type of death penalty can pay for their sins or use connections to reduce their crimes through the back door.
However, there is one category that is executed immediately.
For example, cut off the waist and abandon the market.
But this kind of judgment cannot be decided by a thousand or two thousand stones.
Only the top three princes or the emperor, queen mother, or prince can give the order.
There is no doubt that this verdict comes from the anger from the highest level, from Zhang Gui's long-standing hope and confidence, and his backer, Prince Liu Che!
But why is this happening?
Don’t you just want to make more money?
People from the Dou family, people from the Chen family, people from the Su family, and people from the Wang family have done even dirtier things before!
Why him?
Isn't it said that the punishment is not good enough for the officials, and the courtesy is not good enough for the common people?
Something must have gone wrong!
……………………
It's September, it's cloudy, and at noon, the most visited fish market in Chang'an City is packed with people.
Thousands of people were watching several prison vans being escorted by heavy troops.
In the first car at the head was Du Mao, the contemporary head of the Du family, which once had a powerful reputation in Guanzhong and was known as the largest business family in Guanzhong.
In the second prison car, the person being escorted was Chen Gui, who had a maternal background and was the nephew and son-in-law of the current Queen Bo.
In the third carriage, there was also a high-ranking and powerful figure in the past.
There are six or seven carriages.
Six or seven big shots who used to be high and mighty are now being escorted to the market like pigs and dogs.
Countless civilians are waiting eagerly.
"Can't Du Mao see this... He's actually so bad..." A commoner said angrily: "On his hands, there are more than a dozen lives lost. It is said that several slaves in his family are beaten to death every year... It's really terrible.
Already..."
"Yeah, these people usually look nice and peaceful, why did they become like this?"
"But, having said that, the Tian family is really fair! Back then, Emperor Gao made a three-part rule that whoever touches someone will die. It was indeed true!"
In the eyes of most ordinary people, the real cause of death of these people is that they will die if they commit unjust acts.
But it's different in the eyes of noble ministers.
"You really did this!" Su Rong looked down at the prison van on the street and sneered.
Xiangzhuang's sword dance aims at Peigong.
Su Rong is not stupid, this is his lovely prince nephew demonstrating to him.
It is obvious that anyone who is not blind can see that in the past two months since the prince ascended the throne, he has never taken the initiative to visit the Su family's door, nor invited any relatives of the Su family to visit the prince's womb. The Su family even wanted to see the prince.
Neither could be admitted.
However, this does not hinder the Su family at all from using the prince's banner to reap benefits.
For example, go to the Shaofu to catch the autumn breeze and buy some gold or something.
Or take advantage of their status to force local officials to give them benefits or something.
In the past two days, it was even reported that the prince had issued an order to the three yamen of Tingwei, Neishi, and Lieutenant, saying that anyone who wears the banner of the prince in the future will be treated as a liar as long as they do not have the prince's order.
In addition to the recent high-profile executions of Du and other anti-prince clique people, Zhang Gui is especially promoted as a model, propagating that the law is selfless, that laws must be obeyed, and violations of the law must be punished.
But there is no doubt that the target of the attack is pointed at him, Su Rong, and his family.
Su Rong even felt that his good nephew was almost pointing at his nose and saying: Don't cause trouble for me, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!
"Haha..." Su Rong shook her head.
I didn't take these threats and warnings to heart at all.
instead……
"Why should I be afraid?" Su Rong Shizhu, who is not afraid of boiling water, thought: "If you have the ability, punish me for my sins, punish my uncle for his sins..."
"If you don't even see us in person, you want us to be obedient, haha..." Su Rong sneered, "How can there be such a cheap thing!"
Since Bo Zhao's death, public opinion in both the government and the public has always believed that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen did something wrong.
In particular, the aristocratic ministers and the landowning gentry class vigorously preached that this was "killing without teaching".
Because of this background, Su Rong has no fear.
Although he is not a relative like Bo Zhao who contributed to the country, Liu Che is not Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, at least, not yet! (To be continued)
