Pei Jin said ignorantly at the side: "General, this Kou Tianshi is a man of great ability. When the patrol team found them that day, this veteran killed three cavalrymen in an instant by relying on martial arts. If it hadn't been for this Cui Taichang and The encumbrance of the followers, I am afraid that the remaining few cavalry will be killed by him, and the remaining generals will control Cui Taichang and his followers, so Kou Tianshi just throws a mouse and catches him without a fight!"

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, his face changed, but Kou Qianzhi and Cui Taichang were even more embarrassed and embarrassed.

Zhao Junsheng ordered to the prison chief: "Go and prepare some food and drinks and bring them here. When I meet an old friend here, I must do my best as a landlord!"

"Yes, General, the subordinates will go and arrange it immediately!"

Both Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi's expressions changed, Cui Hao said a little displeased: "Could it be that the envoy is planning to hold a banquet here to entertain us?"

Zhao Junsheng's face was calm: "Mr. Cui thinks where should this general entertain you two?"

An apprentice behind Kou Qian was very upset, "As an old friend, even if you don't have a banquet at home to entertain Master and Cui Gong, you should set up a table in the governor's mansion to welcome the old friend, so that you can hold a banquet in prison Wouldn't this act make the world's teeth cold?"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao and smiled slightly: "If General Ben hosts a banquet at home for criminals and prisoners, won't the world laugh at me, Zhao Junsheng, who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong? Doesn't distinguish between public and private? Treat the law as nothing? How to control subordinates and govern Youzhou?"

Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao's hearts sank when they heard this, knowing that they might be in big trouble this time, but Zhao Junsheng turned his face and refused to recognize anyone because of such a trivial matter?

The classroom fell into silence for a while, and no one spoke.

After a while, the prison chief came back with two jailers bringing some food boxes, a jar of wine, and some bowls, chopsticks, and wine bowls. He ordered the guards to bring the table and put the wine and food on the table.

"My lord, you guys are slow to use, and my subordinates are waiting outside. If there is anything to do, just give an order, and my subordinates will leave!" The cell boss gesticulated to several jailers and retreated together.

Zhao Junsheng bowed his hands to Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao: "You two, a little wine is not a respect, please!"

Cui Hao had a gloomy face, Kou Qianzhi seemed to let go, and said to Cui Hao with a smile: "Cui Boyuan, sooner or later we will have to eat the meal of severed head, let's not disappoint Mr. Zhao's intentions. Come on." Well, the old Taoist hasn't seen such a rich food and wine in more than ten days!" After speaking, he went to his mouth and knelt down.

Cui Hao had no choice but to walk over gloomyly and sit down on his knees.

Zhao Junsheng picked up the wine jar and filled the three ceramic bowls with wine. He picked up the wine bowl in front of him and lifted it up: "The conditions in the prison are limited, so we can only eat wine from ceramic bowls. Don't be disgusted with me, Zhao Mou respects the two of you with a bowl, do it first and respect!"

After drinking it dry in one gulp, Zhao Junsheng turned the bowl upside down, but not a drop of wine fell.

Cui Hao angrily picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth, while Kou Qianzhi's movements were more steady and slow.

"Come, eat vegetables!" Zhao Junsheng greeted again with his chopsticks.

Cui Hao picked up the wine jar and poured the wine himself, and after drinking two more bowls in a row, his face turned slightly red.Some people can't say something when they are conscious, and they are embarrassed to say it, but after drinking, they have no worries. As the saying goes, alcohol is strong and courageous, and that is what it means. Obviously, Cui Hao is such a person.

He asked Zhao Junsheng while holding the wine vessel: "Mr. Zhao, the national teacher just killed three patrolling cavalry. Does the envoy need to be so ruthless? Why is he so disregarding the old friendship?"

Zhao Junsheng put down his chopsticks and looked at the two with a straight face, saying: "Cui Gong said that the national division only killed three cavalrymen, and the word 'just' came out of Cui Gong's mouth without any pressure. This general is very happy." Shocking, this completely subverts my perception of life! Life is so worthless in your eyes? Cui Gong said this, can this general understand that even the lives of hundreds of soldiers are not as good as the national teacher? One person's life? So if they die, they will die in vain, and this general can't use this to hold him accountable?"

Cui Hao quickly waved his hand: "No, no, Cui didn't mean that. The situation was urgent at that time, and the national teacher was worried that these soldiers would endanger the lives of Cui and the followers behind him. So the national teacher didn't do it on purpose. kill!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I understand. Since Cui Gong didn't mean that, he just blamed me for not showing affection? As an old friend, do you think that I, Zhao, should not be guilty of disregarding affection and wanting to rule the country?"

Cui Hao didn't say anything more, which was tantamount to admitting this in disguise.

Zhao Junsheng said: "I admit that this is a world that focuses on human feelings, but human feelings cannot be greater than the sky, otherwise the world will collapse. What is the sky? The sky is the law and the rules! Take a look at what the current Wei is like? It is because there is no law, and there is a law that cannot be enforced. The Xianbei people ruled the world forcibly with brutal force and killings, so that chaos broke out everywhere, and the people continued to rise up to resist. !"

Cui Hao heard that Zhao Junsheng brought this matter up to the court, remembered that Tuoba Jian was dead, and didn't know what was going on in Pingcheng, so he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhao, we will be locked up in this cell. It's been more than ten days, and I don't know anything about the outside world, what's the situation in Pingcheng? What's the final outcome of the battle in Yan Kingdom?"

Zhao Junsheng: "At the time of the class teacher, neither of the two sides got any advantage. Killing the enemy by one thousand hurts eight hundred! As for Pingcheng, now that the dust has settled, the eldest son of the first emperor, that is, the four-year-old prince Ren, has inherited the throne. This matter was presided over by the Empress Dowager Bao, Zhongchang Shi Zongai, and a group of military generals. Tuobafan, king of Le'an, and Tuobachong, king of Jianning, were killed on the spot because they failed to compete for the succession of the throne!"

Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, that is to say, the empress dowager should be in charge of the imperial court now, Zong Ai is the helper of the empress dowager, and the emperor Tuoba Ren is only four years old, obviously he can't call the shots, if they return to Pingcheng, rely on The relationship with the Empress Dowager Bao and Zong Ai is fairly good. It shouldn't be a big problem for the officer to be reinstated.

Cui Hao looked at Zhao Junsheng: "What does Shi Jun plan to do with us?"

"The murderer dies!"

"What?" Cui Hao stood up angrily, "Zhao Junsheng, why are you so cruel?"

Kou Qianzhi waved his hand: "Boyuan, forget it! Mr. Zhao is right, and he did nothing wrong. Only by enforcing laws and regulations and rectifying rules and regulations can society be stable!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Junsheng and said, "Shijun Zhao, I killed the man, and it has nothing to do with Cui Boyuan, my disciples, and my followers. They should be innocent, right?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "That's right, they are innocent, and they will be released tomorrow morning!"

"Thank you!" Kou Qianzhi poured a bowl of wine to respect Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Jinsheng picked up the wine bowl and drank it dry, "National teacher don't need to thank Zhao. If they committed a crime, it would be useless for anyone to intercede. Now that they have done nothing wrong, even if they want to stay with you, this general will never allow it. Prison expenses are limited, and people cannot eat and drink for nothing!"

In a quarter of an hour, Zhao Junsheng led Pei Jin and his soldiers out of the prison.

Pei Jin hesitated for a while and said to Zhao Junsheng: "General, I heard that the national teacher is Mr. Dongfang's master, should I tell him about this!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled wryly: "It's impossible to hide this matter.

live?I can't hide it, if he finds out about it in the future, I will inevitably complain that I am too unkind, and I have to hide such a big matter from him, because I don't believe him! "

Pei Jin sighed: "The subordinates are worried that the national teacher is Mr. Dongfang's master after all. If the general wants to handle it impartially, Mr. Dongfang will inevitably have a grudge in his heart!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "I can't help it. If I am just and strict with others, but bend the law for my own selfishness, wouldn't I be doing the same thing in front of the face and the other in the back? How can I convince the public?"

"But...if it is done in a fair manner, it will be a crime of beheading. Isn't the general and Mr. Dongfang having a grudge against his teacher? How will Mr. Dongfang still work under the general's command in the future?"

Zhao Junsheng stopped and turned his head to look at Pei Jin: "Am I going to kill Kou Qianzhi? It's Fa who wants to kill him! I, Zhao Junsheng, are just a firm enforcer of Fa, and I have no personal grudge against him!"

Early the next morning, Cui Hao, his three attendants and three apprentices of Kou Qianzhi were released. Cui Hao immediately asked his attendants to buy horses, and rushed back to Pingcheng as quickly as possible to find a way to rescue Kou Qianzhi. Borrow the power of the imperial court.

It stands to reason that Kou Qianzhi is an important minister of the imperial court as a national teacher, and Zhao Junsheng, a state governor, has no right to deal with him. However, Kou Qianzhi and Cui Hao sneaked away on the Liaodong battlefield and became deserters. In fact, they gave up their official positions and interests. Nobility, and when You Beiping was arrested, he did not reveal his identity. If he had revealed his identity at that time, the death would not have occurred. So until now, Kou Qianzhi is a black household. Since he is a black household, Zhao Junsheng naturally does not have to report to the court. .

In the morning, Hua Mulan heard about Cui Hao and Kou Qianzhi when she came to the Governor's Mansion. She immediately went to Zhao Junsheng and said, "Brother Junsheng, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this. Kou Laodao is also a national teacher, you alone The local governor has no right to dispose of it, so I think it’s better to report it to the imperial court, even if it’s an ordinary person, if he wants to execute a capital crime according to the law, he must report it to the relevant yamen of the imperial court for approval, right?”

Chapter 553 Family Separation System

Of course, Zhao Junsheng will not let others take advantage of him, and the procedures that should be followed must be followed. Hua Mulan is right, even if an ordinary person commits a capital crime, the execution of the death penalty must be reported to the relevant yamen of the court for approval. 16595

However, the trial of Kou Qianzhi will be done in Youzhou. As the governor of Youzhou, he can make the judgment as he wants.

"I know what you said. How could I not follow the rules and wait for the court's permission to implement them? I said that I must follow the rules, so I have to give an explanation to the families of the three soldiers who were killed and my colleagues in the army. As for the imperial court...it's beyond my control!"

The two were talking, Dongfang Chen walked in and bowed to Zhao Junsheng: "I have met the envoy!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "I know Mr. Dongfang must have come to blame me, it shouldn't be..."

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your envoy has misunderstood. Although I am a disciple of Master, I have always advocated the rule of law. I came here neither to plead with Master nor to blame the envoy. I just want to visit you in the cell." Master, please allow your envoy!"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Mr. Dongfang is bright and upright. I would admire it! Even ordinary prisoners on death row, family members can visit them. This is human nature. Does this general still treat you differently from Mr. Kou Guoshi? You can just visit the prison."

"I will take my leave!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't know what Dongfang Chen had said to Kou Qianzhi in the prison, but he only knew that Dongfang Chen acted as if nothing had happened after he came back, and assisted him in handling military and political affairs as usual.

That night, Zhao Junsheng found Dongfang Chen, and the two sat facing each other. Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Dongfang doesn't blame me for the matter of Master Ling?"
