Zhang Dong Cheng's face turned slightly red and he coughed lightly. He remembered the reason Xiao Yi Jin told him about this. Could it be that Xiao Yi Jin wasn't confident enough to let him test it out? He couldn't help but feel angry and continued with the second line of impeachment, "Prince Mo, since it is only a birthmark, and the eyes of the twelve soldiers were pierced, isn't this an abuse of lynchings?"
He could not help but cough, thinking that everyone said that he was sick and weak, but the way he looked at people was like a soft knife cutting through butter. Even though he looked at them a few more times, he clearly did not feel guilty, but still looked at them with a guilty conscience.
"Imperial Censor Zhang, before you said those words, did you personally go and ask those soldiers guarding the city gates of the Fire Hou Battalion?"
Zhang Dong Cheng was stunned: "Of course I have."
"Everyone has asked? Are you sure that what they say is the truth, and all of it? "
Zhang Dongheng blinked his eyes.
"This kind of matter should not be said in the throne room, but since Censor Zhang insisted on asking, This King had no choice but to admit the truth. It's just that This King has said it first. If this matter is made clear, does Great Master Zhang really not regret it? "
"This official …" Why should I regret it? " Zhang Dong Cheng's stubborn nature did not change, and he said proudly: "If this official is at fault, then I will naturally admit it."
"I'm afraid it's not something you can solve just because you admit your mistakes." Xiao Yi Xiu said lightly. He turned around and said to the Emperor, "Imperial Father, this son would like to ask, what is rudeness and neglect?"
The emperor was stunned. Even a child could understand these words. Why would he need to explain them?
Xiao Yi Xiu continued, "Your son doesn't know how you gave the orders, or did you comply with Imperial Father's orders? You actually asked the women to take off their shoes and socks while passing through the city gate? Even if the carriage was not made up of the women of this son's family, it would still be considered as indecent on the part of the commoners. Furthermore, they would even dare to look at the women of the clan if their superiors were to commit an offense! "
Zhang Dong Cheng didn't know that something like that happened and couldn't help but to stare wide-eyed.
Xiao Yixiu said indifferently, "Lord Censor Zhang, if your wife and daughter can take off their shoes and socks in front of the throne room for all the officials to see, I will admit that you have abused your punishment."
The Eastsea Monk Confucius was courteous and courteous, and the woman's feet were considered private. How could he allow other men to see her as they wished? Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xiu's words, Zhang Dong Cheng's face turned red, and his usually sharp words also disappeared. He stuttered as he said, "This …" "The prince also didn't say anything back then …"
"Excuse me, but the squadron leader told This King's main wife to take off her shoes and socks in front of the crowd. The other eleven people present also saw it. Is this kind of matter worthy of This King announcing it to everyone in order to get rid of his' crime '?"
Zhang Dong Cheng was in a sorry state, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this. At that moment, he couldn't help but curse Xiao Yi Jin for overseeing things so closely, causing him to do such a thing.
In fact, Xiao Yi Jin didn't take the matter to heart when the Fire Hou Battalion had asked for an explanation. She had only said that it was a matter of urgency, so she didn't care much about it. Her face turned red as she thought to herself, No wonder those people were blinded and didn't complain.
At that time, he was too stressed from the situation in the inner and outer city to care about such a small matter. He thought that with Xiao Yi Xiu's identity, he could be a prince at most.
Xiao Yi Xiu's tone remained as calm as ever, "Alright, since the words have been said, then I will go to the imperial court and ask my father. Could it be that when the city gates were being inspected, such orders were given?"
The emperor was also slightly embarrassed. He forced the prince to admit that his family had been seen by other men as their private parts. No matter what, this was a great humiliation, and he could only glare at Xiao Yi Jin resentfully.
"Moreover, this is not an exception. When I went to the epidemic area with my concubine, I saw that they treated the people the same way. If there is a woman who refused to comply, I would take off her shoes and socks in front of everyone, regardless of the daylight. I was just trying to restrain myself at the time, but I only told them not to do so again, because I knew that after the disease had passed, the reputation of the people in the army would not be good either, and I would not be able to recover from it. "
"What?" is the same with the people? " The emperor was furious this time.
Xiao Yi Jin's forehead was covered in sweat as he said anxiously, "Your son … He could only do it helplessly. When the disease first started, it was all on his limbs, especially his hands and feet … "For the safety of more people in the capital, it is also true that …"
The emperor sighed and thought of Fu Yu's words. Just as he was about to give Fu Yu a way out, he heard Xiao Yi Xiu chuckle and say, "So if the disease starts in the body and it starts in a secret place, does it mean that the sixth royal brother will order all those who passed the trial to be examined naked?"
"You …" Xiao Yijin's face was filled with rage, "Could it be that your royal brother has a better way to deal with this?"
"At the very least, when the women are being examined, they shall be carried out by the women, and care shall be taken to protect them."
"But where did the girls in the army come from?!"
"This sort of thing should be a small matter. It shouldn't be impossible even with the Sixth Imperial Brother's ability."
Xiao Yijin was thwarted again and again. He gritted his teeth and was speechless.
"The matter regarding the Yan King has indeed been handled inappropriately. Zhang Aiqing's words shall not be accepted. As for the absurd suggestion for Princess Mo to come to the throne room and prove it, it's even less necessary to mention it. " The emperor didn't want to say anything more about this. Although he looked calm, he could not contain his anger. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to keep Xiao Yi Jin to fight against Xiao Yi Xiu, he would have disgraced him.
After leaving the imperial court, Zhang Dong Cheng bitterly walked away. Suddenly, he heard Xiao Yi Xiu's voice floating over, "Censor Zhang, in the future when you're hot-blooded and straightforward, should you consider it? You don't have the courage to remonstrate directly."
Zhang Dong Cheng's spine stiffened as he looked in the direction of the voice. Xiao Yi Xiu was smiling gently at him, his eyes so deep that they couldn't be seen.
His heart turned cold, and he could not tell if the other party was happy or angry.
As Xiao Yi Xiu walked past him, he said softly, "Be careful, you're being used as a gun."
Zhang Dong Cheng unconsciously stopped walking and stared at Xiao Yi Xiu's back. Suddenly, someone else came up from behind and patted his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Censor Zhang doesn't need to be so angry. You're not the most unlucky one today."
Zhang Dong Cheng shuddered, and turned around to see Xiao Ling Fei's smiling eyes, gentle and amiable.
Gu Qing Li's prescription had been used for the third day in the inner city, so he had hoped that it would have the same effect as in the outer city. Who knew that the news would shock everyone?
For a while, the inner city was in a state of panic. The officials who had been hoarding food all day long did not even dare to go to the streets anymore. They had to close their doors and doors for the rest of the day.
It was hard for those small merchants to do business. They had to take advantage of the situation and face danger.
At this moment, Gu Qingli was greatly surprised by the Helian siblings' visit.
Xiao Yi Xiu was not around, so he went out to inspect the situation and the drug use in the inner city.
Gu Qing was supposed to leave, but she couldn't wake up early in the morning to throw up, so Xiao Yixiu stopped her from going out and told her to stay in the manor to rest. Although both of them knew that they couldn't let the child stay, they still hadn't made up their minds to fall.
Gu Qingli then found an excuse, saying that the epidemic was rampant. If she aborted now, it would inevitably take more than a month of rest, and she would not be able to see the patient in person. Xiao Yixiu knew that she actually didn't want to part with him, so he agreed to that as well.
