Courtesy is not inferior to the common people, punishment is not superior to the doctor.

If one had a different understanding of this sentence, it would have a completely different meaning.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the explanation for this sentence was that " commoners are not qualified to receive courtesy, and doctors have the privilege not to be punished." The meaning of " lower " was " lower " and " upper " was " upper ".

However, Kong Yan was born in the Kong family. Even if he did not like to read the Confucian books, he had come into contact with more Confucian books than many scholars.

Regarding this sentence, a predecessor of the Kong family had specially noted: The upper and lower levels should be distinguished from each other.

Courtesy does not lower the common people, punishment does not respect the doctor!

Naturally, Kong Yan, who came from the later generation, was not interested in the words of the ancients. He had already formed his own worldview.

He knew that in this world, everyone was not equal before the law.

In fact, he himself was a thoroughly privileged class in this world.

At this moment, the reason why he was torturing the high-ranking officials was not entirely to uphold justice for the disaster victims.

More importantly, the money that these people were greedy for was his!

As long as he thought of the rouge and cosmetic powder that these people bought for his concubine, the bill for the meal with his colleagues, the money for whoring in the brothel, and even the money for doing good deeds when he met a poor girl who sold her body to bury her father…all of them were his, Kong Yan could not help but want to kill!

Now, he was indeed prepared to kill!

Jin Yuliang's screams gradually stopped, his hands were numb from the pain.

Kong Yan waved his hand, indicating for Sanlang Zhu to stop.

"Jin Yuliang, the evidence is conclusive. Your butler should have been arrested and thrown into the Supreme Court's prison by now. Are you sure you want to die and not admit your guilt?”Kong Yan asked coldly.

"I'm not guilty. You made it up.”Jin Yuliang roared. His ten fingers were in so much pain that it pierced through his heart. Now, he could no longer feel the existence of his fingers.

He hated Kong Yan for interrogating him in public.

If it was in the prison, he would have admitted defeat if there was conclusive evidence.

But now, with all the officials present, how could he recognize them?

Kong Yan sneered and looked at Du Ruhui.""Du Pushe was once the Minister of Justice. I wonder how he should deal with the embezzled disaster relief funds of more than 100,000 taels?”

Du Ruhui frowned and said," If your evidence is conclusive, then Lord Jin's situation is one of the six types of corruption. According to the martial law, one foot of silk is worth 100 sticks, and each bolt is worth 15 bolts. He will be hanged.”

"Is it that serious?" Some officials who didn't understand criminal law were shocked.

Jin Yuliang shivered, and fear appeared on his face again.

"A hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough to buy a hundred batches of silk.”Kong Yan muttered to himself, then looked at Jin Yuliang coldly." Now, I'll ask you one last time. Do you admit your guilt?”

Jin Yuliang's face twitched and he said hatefully,""I don't admit it. I'm not guilty!"

" Very good!" Kong Yan smiled coldly and said," Bring him to Vermilion Bird Avenue and behead him for public display!"”

"What?"

All the officials were shocked. Jin Yuliang looked at Kong Yan in disbelief.

Li Shi Min, who was in the Sky Bearing Sect, also had an ashen expression as killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, this killing intent wasn't aimed at Jin Yuliang.

"Execution!" Kong Yan looked at Zhu Sanlang.

Zhu Sanlang secretly gulped and asked in a low voice,"Do you really want to kill him?"

"Hmm?" Kong Yan frowned and glanced at Zhu Sanlang indifferently.

Zhu Sanlang's expression turned cold, and he immediately understood.

He no longer hesitated and dragged Jin Yuliang out with his men.

Jin Yuliang's expression changed drastically as he struggled and shouted,""What are you doing? Let go of me, if you want to kill me, it should be His Majesty who gave the order. What right does that cheap merchant have…"

" You…" Du Ruhui looked at Kong Yan and frowned. He couldn't guess if Kong Yan was bluffing or if he really wanted to kill Jin Yuliang on the street.

Most of the others didn't believe that Kong Yan would dare to kill Jin Yuliang in front of so many officials.

"Kid, don't go overboard. Since you have evidence of his crime, hand it over to Dai Zhou. Your money will definitely not be stolen.”Li Jing frowned.

Li Ji said,"Killing a minister is no small matter. Don't make a mistake."”

Kong Yan glanced at Li Junxian and asked,"What does General Li have to say?"

Li Junxian said nothing as he turned to the Gate of Heaven Influence.

He knew that Kong Yan wasn't asking about him, but about the Emperor he represented.

Many of the officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Junxian enter the Gate of Heaven Influence.

He thought that after the Emperor knew about what had happened here, he would definitely not allow Kong Yan to continue causing trouble.

They had watched Kong Yan torture two officials in succession, largely because Li Junxian was standing here with two teams of Golden Guards around him!

Li Shimin and Wang De hid in the Gate of Heaven Influence and did not meet Li Junxian.

"Tell him that I am sick and will not see anyone.”After a moment of silence, Li Shi Min said.

Wang De nodded gently. After a while, he slowly retreated into the palace.

Kong Yan leaned on the sofa with a faint smile on his face.

How could Li Shi Min not know that he was blocking the civil and military officials with great fanfare?

How could he not come and take a look?

Jin Yuliang had already been pulled out, and Li Shimin had yet to appear. There was only one explanation:

Li Shi Min silently agreed to his actions.

" This deal is a little bad. You robbed my treasury, and I helped you organize the court. In the end, I might be killed by you…" Kong Yan looked at the rising sun and could vaguely see the color of blood.

Puff!

On Vermilion Bird Avenue, Zhu Sanlang raised his hand and slashed down. A beautiful head with a beautiful beard fell to the ground!

The eyes on the head were wide open, filled with endless fear and confusion.

Jin Yuliang never thought that he would die here!

Zhu Sanlang's legs were also trembling, and his crotch was slightly wet. The four men in black around him could not help but vomit.

"Really?" A black-clothed hidden guard said in a trembling voice.

Zhu Sanlang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and spat, saying,"If you kill such a corrupt official, so be it. What are you afraid of?”

"Third Master, your legs are shaking." Another black-robed dark guard reminded him kindly after vomiting.

"This grandpa is frozen, what do you know?!”Zhu Sanlang's old face was a little uncomfortable. He stretched out his leg and kicked this person, cursing angrily," Hurry up and go back. Young Master is waiting for you.”

Not long after Zhu Sanlang and the others left, a commotion broke out on Vermilion Bird Avenue.

"Murder!" Someone shouted in fear.

Soon, the voice reached the Gate of Heaven Influence, and all the officials had a bad premonition.

Zhu Sanlang's legs were no longer trembling as he walked. Under everyone's puzzled gazes, he came to Kong Yan's side and bowed."The execution is over. The head of the corrupt Jin Yuliang has fallen to the ground.”

"Really?" Someone revealed a terrified expression.

Qin Qiong stared at Zhu Sanlang and said in a low voice,"From the looks of it, he has indeed killed someone, and the evil aura on his body has yet to dissipate…"

Cheng Yaojin nodded, his face solemn."This kid has gone too far. I'm afraid it won't be easy to end this.”

"Could it be that he knows that the Great Tang is going to attack the Turks, so he's acting so brazenly?”Li Jing narrowed his eyes and guessed in his heart.

The rest of the ministers had different expressions, most of them in disbelief.

After all, torturing an official and killing an official on the streets were two completely different concepts.

When torturing a minister, as long as the money was in place, the general minister would choose to reconcile. Other ministers might even feel jealous, regretting that they were not the one being beaten up.

Just like the scene after Dai Zhou was beaten up.

However, if he was sentenced to death on the streets, it was not a matter of money.

Even Li Shimin didn't expect Kong Yan to be so resolute.

He had considered the possibility that Kong Yanzhen would order a murder if Li Junxian didn't receive a reply from him.

But he hadn't expected that Li Junxian would be beheaded before he even returned!

He couldn't help but think, Where did Kong Yan get the guts to kill a court official outside the Sky Bearing Gate?

"Is Assistant Minister Wang Zheng here?" After Kong Yan closed Jin Yuliang's scroll, he opened another scroll.

"Wang Zheng?"

At this moment, many people were shocked.

How was the corruption case related to the Ministry of Personnel Affairs?

In the Great Tang, the rank of the Assistant Minister of the Board of Rites was above the fourth rank, which was why Wang Zheng was standing quite close to the front.

When he heard Kong Yan's call, he was so frightened that he trembled.

Zhu Sanlang led the two of them and dragged Wang Zheng to the front.

"Do you plead guilty?" asked Kong Yan.

“……”

Wang Zheng's face was uncertain. With Jin Yuliang's example, since the other party called him out, he should have found his own evidence. If he did not plead guilty, it was likely that this day next year would be his death anniversary.

However, he felt a little wronged if he were to admit his guilt directly.

He had indeed accepted the silver, but he did not know that it was the disaster relief fund!

"Actually, I admire you very much.”Kong Yan suddenly said.
