Hu'er shouted and rushed into the inner room. Lu Bu was lying on the bed comfortably. Hearing his grandson's voice, he stood up with a smile. Hu'er quickly rushed to his side and sat directly aside. It seemed that Especially excited and in high spirits, Lu Bu smiled and patted his head lovingly, "Didn't your master want to take you on a march? Why are you back so soon?"
"Today Shijun and I marched in a hurry to Zhongmu County..." Hu'er said excitedly and danced. Lu Bu smiled and listened to him talk about today's trip, "Then I met a merchant. He You want to steal my little red rabbit!"
Hu'er frowned and said seriously. Lu Bu was stunned, and his face suddenly darkened, "Someone wants to steal your red rabbit?"
"Yes, he even insulted Master in front of me!"
"How do you do it?"
"I'll kill him!" Hu'er said proudly, slapping his chest. Lu Bu suddenly coughed and his eyes widened, "What did you say?"
"I stabbed that guy to death! Yeah, how did I do?"
Lu Bu looked at the little guy in front of him blankly. He was speechless for a moment. After being stunned for a long time, he asked: "Hu'er... you don't feel any discomfort at all?"
"Yes, stabbing him to death with one sword is really an advantage for that guy!" Hu'er was still talking about how he should torture the poor merchant, but Lu Bu was already speechless and was stunned for a long time before he felt helpless. He shook his head and said with some regret: "Hu'er, what a pity, you are a natural warrior... What a pity, what a pity."
Hu'er looked at Lu Bu in confusion, but Lu Bu didn't say anything more. Instead, he warned: "Your father just promulgated the new policy a few days ago. If you do such a thing today, he will be very angry. If he does it later, Send someone to call you, and when you see him, cry and say that you were bullied, so you take action, and he will not make things difficult for you anymore..."
Listening to Ye Ye's words, Hu'er felt a little afraid of his father. He couldn't help but nod his head and remembered Lu Bu's words in his heart. When Lu Bu finished speaking, Hu'er complained: "It's all the businessman's fault. If it hadn't happened a little, What should I do if my father reprimands me? The people in this world that I hate most now are merchants. Let’s see what happens to me in the future..."
Lu Bu felt that there was something wrong with this, but he couldn't give a general explanation. He could only advise: "You can't blame everyone because of one person... Doesn't Liu Bei have a son who is also in business? I went to his house a few days ago. As for Xu Xianyuan, his cooking is very good, the food is delicious, and the dancers are...ahem...anyway, you better not make everyone angry because of one person's fault..."
Hu'er frowned, mumbled, and didn't reply.
Sure enough, before he had waited here for too long, several eunuchs arrived in a hurry. Lu Bu had already expected that they would come. Hu'er killed someone outside. It was such a big thing. It would be strange if the emperor didn't send someone to look for him. However, Lu Bu has never given face to these eunuchs, so he held the tiger in his arms and explained for a long time, leaving the eunuchs in the palace to dry for a long time.
Qi Yue stood at the door, anxious, but did not dare to break in. When he was thinking of a way, the prince slowly walked out. Seeing Hu'er walking out, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared the most was that Lu Bu refused to let the prince go to the Houde Hall, so he would be unable to communicate and would be blocked at both ends. Fortunately, Lu Guozhang did not make it so difficult for him.
After meeting the prince, Qi Yue quickly took the prince to the palace.
The group returned to the palace. Qi Yue led Hu'er into the Houde Hall in a hurry. Hu'er still remembered Lu Bu's instructions just now. As soon as he entered the hall, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be aggrieved.
He looked at the emperor eagerly, but he was not the only one in the Hall of Houde. The emperor was sitting in the upper seat. Cui Yan and Xun Yu were sitting next to him, and there was another person. Hu'er didn't recognize him either.
Cui Yan lowered his head, glanced at Hu'er, and said nothing. Obviously, the emperor had called Cui Yan long ago and was very clear about the context of the matter. He looked at the little guy in front of him, but still asked:
"Zhongmu County, what's going on?"
"Father~~~" Hu'er shouted, wiping the tears that had never appeared on his face, howling: "It's that merchant, he wants to rob me of my red rabbit, and he also wants to beat me...
"Looking at Hu'er's clumsy acting skills, Liu Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, but did not interrupt his performance. He looked at Cui Yan aside and said, "Let's just do what I just said...
"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Hu'er blinked his eyes and looked at the people in front of him blankly. He stopped crying and just looked at them. Cui Yan was about to agree, but Xun Yu on the side shook his head.
Shaking his head, he said: "Your Majesty, I think there is a better way to solve this matter. There is no need to cover it up. How about leaving this matter to Manjun."
"Oh?" Liu Xi was stunned and a little confused.
"The merchant boldly committed the crime. In the new law, there are provisions for such behavior and how to punish it. However, the prince punished the merchant in self-defense. How should this be tried? It still has to be handed over to the criminal government. I believe that Lord Manchu will be very
What do you think Manjun thinks of handling this matter fairly?" Xun Yu looked at the man beside him, and Hu'er realized that this man was the servant of the Xingfu.
This man looked very cold, stern, and a bit scary. Hu'er subconsciously took two steps back and asked hurriedly: "I am the prince, how can I let my ministers judge and punish me??!"
He hurriedly looked at Liu Xi, but he did not expect that Liu Xi actually squinted his eyes and started thinking.
"Father?! I want to tell grandma!!" Hu'er felt something bad and shouted immediately, but he didn't know that when he shouted, Liu Xi, who was still hesitant at first, immediately turned down his face and looked aside.
Xun Yu said seriously: "Okay, I have made a law and no one can violate it, even the current prince. Manjun, then I will leave this matter to you!"
Man Chong was stunned, stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said solemnly: "I will deal with it justly."
Hu'er was about to escape when he was helplessly blocked by Qi Yue. Liu Xi frowned and said viciously: "Manjun, I'll leave this kid to you. You should review this case carefully. After the review,
, Inform Kong Ming of the matter and ask Kong Ming to go to his residence to report to the government!" Liu Xi said, and asked several Huangmen to take Hu'er and leave with Man Chong.
Hu'er was particularly angry. He looked at Xun Yu in the distance and cursed: "You old thief, wait until I get stronger!!" Before he could finish his scolding, he was taken away by Man Chong.
Liu Xi smiled bitterly and looked at Xun Yu beside him, "Mr.
Discipline him, and he will definitely not have any thoughts of revenge..." Xun Yu smiled softly and said: "I am not afraid, I am only afraid that I will not be able to wait for the day when the prince takes revenge."
Just now, Liu Xi mentioned the prince, which was a disguised proof of Hu'er's identity. After all, Hu'er was Liu Xi's only child, and it was only a matter of time. Therefore, Xun Yu also followed the emperor's words and said
Go down.
"Qi Yue!" Liu Xi shouted. Qi Yue suddenly appeared in front of the emperor. Liu Xi then said: "You must not leak these things. Before Hu'er comes back, don't let the queen know, let alone
Don't let the monarch know..." Liu Xi gave a few instructions. If the queen found out, she would probably go to the monarch's house to cry. If she cried, Man Chong's life would be at risk.
When Man Chong took the prince back to the Xing Mansion and prepared to start the trial of the case, the entire Xing Mansion was boiling and Man Chong was also ready. These people were not allowed to go out. Several people came to an empty courtyard.
Then came the prison of the Xingfu. The officials of the Xingfu sat down one after another. Man Chong sent someone to inform Cui Yan and the magistrate of Zhongmu County and others to come here.
Without the emperor here, Hu'er was not afraid. He looked at these busy people coldly and turned a blind eye to their greetings.
It has to be said that the people in the Xingfu are quick to do things, and Cui Yan arrived soon. At this time, Hu'er's expression improved a little, and he stood beside Cui Yan aggrievedly. Cui Yan comforted him a few times.
, told him not to be afraid, and then took him and sat aside, not knowing what they were talking about. After a long time, the county magistrate and a few embroidered clothes arrived here covered in dust.
When County Magistrate Fu heard about the summons from the Xingfu, he felt uncomfortable. What kind of day were these? Now someone came to embroider clothes, and now someone came from the Xingfu. Why was he so unlucky?
After everyone gathered, Man Chong began the trial. Of course, everyone also told what they had seen that day. The merchant was greedy for the prince's treasure horse. After being exposed, he became angry and wanted to misbehave with the prince.
He killed people to seize goods, but was killed by the prince. After Man Chong investigated the truth of the matter, he also conducted the trial strictly according to the new laws.
First of all, the merchant wants to kill someone and seize the horse. This is a serious crime. What's more, the person he wants to kill is the current prince. This is already a treason and should be sentenced to death. The prince's legitimate self-defense cannot be regarded as a fault. However, because some self-defense is excessive
Because of the suspicion, he was punished to copy the law. Everyone was shocked when they heard Man Chong's final decision. No one thought that he really should punish the prince.
Cui Yan took Hu'er and left the Xingfu. Hu'er had a sad face and was in a very bad mood all the way.
The next day, this matter was reported by the Di Bao Mansion. The prince went incognito to visit the people and encountered a merchant who wanted to kill someone and seize the horse, so he told him to kill him. The Di Bao not only told the whole story,
Even the final trial process and punishment of the prince by Man Chong were also told. As soon as this article was published, the world was shocked.
Even the eldest son of the current emperor is restricted by the law and cannot break the law. What about the rest of the people?
The spread of the law among the Han Dynasty became even faster for a while, especially the common people, who were even more willing to see what kind of law this was and how powerful it could be. Of course, the common people
It was still very simple. When they learned that the prince who came to check on the people's lives was treated like this by merchants, and even punished by the criminal government, they all felt that the prince was not worth it.
The merchants were scolded the most, but Man Chong was not scolded. Perhaps it was his courage to defy power that conquered the world, but he became more and more respected and famous all over the world.
