The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people
Chapter 612: Caning 2
Liang Chongyue was contemplating with his eyes closed. The puppy beside him finished his reflection and added:
"Host, how about you lend a hand? You're going to enact new laws when you return anyway, so why not add one to help women trapped in dead-end marriages escape?"
The system's slightly naive voice sounded in his ears, but Liang Chongyue still sat silently against the inner wall of the carriage, thinking quietly about his own things.
Seeing that the host ignored it, the system calculated that it still had some distance to go to the Ministry of Justice. Relying on the fact that no one else would notice it in the carriage, it took out the snacks it had saved in the host's backpack and started eating.
Liang Chongyue heard the sound of crunching, raised her eyelids slightly, and saw that the system was eating potato chips, one piece after another, and couldn't stop at all.
"Give me a pack."
The system was eating when a voice suddenly came from above its head. The host seldom ate these snacks after coming of age. Did the sun rise from the west today?
"original?"
As the system asked, it had already taken out the original flavor and handed it to the host.
Liang Chongyue tore open the package and started eating. By the time he finished the whole package, the carriage had arrived at the Ministry of Justice.
The system looked down at the empty bag of potato chips that the host had stuffed into its paws before getting off the carriage. Was the host not full just now?
Liang Chongyue was standing outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice. Before he could go forward and knock on the door, Yan Renzheng, dressed in official uniform, hurried out.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."
Since receiving the news from the owner of Wangjiang Tower, Yan Renzheng has been staying in the Ministry of Justice waiting for His Majesty's arrival.
He didn't expect that His Majesty would go out of the palace in disguise today, and happened to witness such an unbearable scene in the Qiang King's mansion. He had just persuaded the Qiang King to leave. Fortunately, he was quick enough, otherwise if His Majesty saw him staying with the Qiang King, he would not know what to say.
Thinking of this, Yan Renzheng secretly let out a breath of air. He escaped a disaster, but in front of His Majesty, he dared not slack off for a moment.
"Get up, I have something to talk to you about."
Wangjiang Tower would be open until midnight curfew, and the bastard from the Qiang Palace was still hanging outside the door of Wangjiang Tower. When Liang Chongyue came out of Wangjiang Tower, the bastard was already silent, and only the faint rise and fall of his chest showed some signs of life.
"Your Majesty, please take your seat."
This was not Liang Chongyue's first time at the Ministry of Justice, but the Minister of Justice had remained the same over the years, and she and Yan Renzheng had known each other for many years.
"Yan Renzheng, you should know why I came here today."
"Yes, I understand. I promise that such a thing will never happen again in the capital. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Yan Renzheng is an old fox who knows the rules. He knows what he should and should not do, and he also understands what she wants to hear now.
"Send someone to Wangjiang Tower to bring that kid back. Everything will be handled according to the law."
Liang Chongyue added some punishments to the law for those who harass women a few years ago. Although this matter was not a big deal, the boy had a special identity, and under strict law enforcement, he could restrain many people.
"Yes, Wei Chen knows."
The laws of Daxia were displayed in Yan Renzheng's room. Liang Chongyue personally found the few articles that she had added later and showed them to Yan Renzheng.
"Copy these and post them at the gate of your Ministry of Justice. Have that boy copy them for me in prison whenever he's free. When he's copied ten thousand copies, send them to me. I'll release him when I'm satisfied."
After Yan Renzheng looked at the place where His Majesty pointed, he nodded silently beside His Majesty.
According to the laws set by Your Majesty in the past, Young Master Liang of the Qiang Palace was sentenced to twenty strokes of the cane for harassing a woman in the street. Since Your Majesty has personally ordered this to be done, Young Master Liang will have to stay in the Ministry of Justice for at least half a year before he can leave.
"That's how it should be. The law is already strict, and your Majesty is wise."
Liang Chongyue has become immune to these compliments, she prefers people who do practical things.
He looked up at Yan Renzheng, who immediately put away the flattering smile on his face and became more respectful.
"Alright, you can do whatever you want. If I encounter something like this again, you and everyone else in Jingzhao Prefecture will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."
"Yes, Wei Chen understands."
After seeing His Majesty off, Yan Renzheng stood at the gate of the Ministry of Justice, watching the carriage going away. Only when the carriage disappeared around the corner did the respectful and flattering smile on his face disappear.
A minor official walked out of the gate and whispered a few words to him. Yan Renzheng then withdrew his gaze and turned back.
At this time, in a separate study room in the southeast of the Ministry of Justice, the people from Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple that Liang Chongyue had just mentioned were already waiting inside. Although they were still chatting and drinking tea, the expressions in their eyes were not very good.
Seeing Yan Renzheng walking in, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"How is Brother Yan? What did His Majesty say?"
Yan Ren was sitting in the main seat, his face showing no emotion. After finishing his cup of tea, he slowly spoke:
"Your Majesty has said that if such a thing is discovered again in the capital, we will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane along with the offender. If the offender commits a more serious crime, I am afraid we will be implicated even more."
Everyone sitting in the house came to the Ministry of Justice as soon as they received the news. They waited until the sunset dyed the entire sky red before they received the news that His Majesty had left Wangjiang Tower.
"Prince Qiang loves his second son the most, saying that he looks very much like Prince Qiang when he was young. Now it seems that the resemblance is only superficial, and the inner qualities are not even half of what Prince Qiang looked like when he was young."
"What a splendid young Prince Qiang was! What a shame! Forget it. Let's not talk about it. You might as well think about what to do with Prince Qiang's second son first."
Yan Renzheng was sitting in the main seat, listening quietly. Half of them were new people appointed after His Majesty ascended the throne. All the old men in the court who were found by His Majesty to be corrupt, disregarding human life, or forming cliques for personal gain were removed by His Majesty.
Those who died early have grass growing on their graves.
He also has close personal friends among them, but now there are so many people talking and it is inconvenient for him to say too much directly.
Listening to their chatter, and calculating the time, Yan Renzheng finally spoke:
"You all came to me to hide from Prince Qiang. I have to go pick someone up soon, so I won't keep you here any longer. Once the person is in prison, Prince Qiang won't have time to look for you anymore."
Everyone understood what Minister Yan meant and stood up to say goodbye. Yan Renzheng did not see them out. If this scene were to reach the ears of His Majesty and be used by someone with ulterior motives, he would explain to His Majesty, but the emperor was suspicious and His Majesty might not believe him.
He was also unwilling to waste His Majesty's trust on such a small matter.
