Another group of people came to the Xiao Manor.
It was the imperial guards with their heads in the imperial forest.
The leader was the Minister of Personnel, Zhangsun Wuji.
"Hehe, so the old master of Wannian County is really here.”
Zhangsun Wuji did not waste any more time with Ning Cheng. His gaze was like a torch as it fixed on Xiao Fan.
"Are you Xiao County Man?"
Xiao Fan nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.”
Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands and bowed." I, Zhangsun Wuji, represent the people of the world to thank Xiao County for saving the country."”
Boom!
After Zhangsun Wuji introduced himself, Ning Cheng, who was originally standing upright at the side, felt his heart jump to his throat at this moment. His legs were unconsciously dwarfed.
This was a big shot!
Great Tang's top-notch big shot!
He was bowing to Xiao Fan.
Shit!
Ning Cheng hurriedly licked his face and said,"Lord Zhangsun, yes, yes. I'm here today to thank Xiao County's man for saving the country."”
Zhangsun Wuji ignored Ning Cheng and asked Xiao Fan,"Can you let this old man try on a cotton coat?”
"Don't worry, the Imperial Court is not a robber. If it really can keep you warm, I can get the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to buy it.”
Only then did Xiao Fan nod. He waved his hand and said to everyone in the residence,"Bring me a cotton coat."
Soon.
Zhangsun Wuji put on a cotton coat.
An unprecedented warm current surrounded his body.
The warmth of this item was not much worse than fur.
What shocked Zhangsun Wuji the most was that His Majesty had said that this crop could be planted in large quantities!
In other words, it was cheap!
As such, Zhangsun Wuji naturally knew how much this cotton coat was worth.
His entire body was trembling!
Violent trembling!
Such a divine weapon that was beneficial to the country and the people was told to the Wannian County Yamen, but the county magistrate abandoned it like it was a broken shoe.
Zhangsun Wuji wished he could kill County Magistrate Ning on the spot.
"Ning Cheng!" he roared angrily. Do you know what this is? This was called a cotton-padded jacket! This was called cotton! This was the greatest weapon to save this year's snow disaster!”
"Xiao County Nan entrusted himself to you. What did you say?”
"You are a sinner of the Great Tang! Not dying is not enough to appease the public's anger!"
"You useless dog! Because of you vermin, the people fear the imperial court like tigers!”
Zhangsun Wuji was furious!
He was even more furious than Li Shi Min!
When Li Shimin mentioned the warming effect of this cotton coat, Zhangsun Wuji didn't care too much.
But now that he was wearing it, his heart was filled with shock.
Apart from shock, there was also anger!
At this moment, Ning Cheng was already trembling like a leaf.
"Xiao…Brother Xiao, please tell me…I was also busy with work at that time…"
Brother Xiao, tell Lord Zhangsun, I…I will be grateful to you…"
Ning Cheng begged Xiao Fan longingly, his eyes filled with deep fear and regret.
He didn't know where this kid came from.
She did not know why he had such great power.
The only thing he knew was that if he wanted to live now, Xiao Fan was his only chance.
The word 'gratitude' was tightly clenched by County Magistrate Ning.
Xiao Fan smiled as he looked at County Magistrate Ning. He knew that he was hinting at him.
As long as he put in a good word for him, he could do whatever he wanted in Wannian County in the future.
But Xiao Fan needed charity? Or rather, this county magistrate was worthy of Xiao Fan's eloquence?
He hated it when others threatened him.
He also hated this kind of behavior that started to admit defeat after acting tough.
An adult had to pay the price for his rudeness.
Xiao Fan smiled and blinked. Didn't you say that you were busy with work? I remember you said that we were disrupting the court?”
"Do you remember when my father told you about the laws of the Tang Empire?”
"Remember when you said that you could control the entire Wannian County? Have you forgotten?"
Ning Cheng's entire body was trembling.
These vicious words were no different from pushing him directly into the abyss.
It was too late for regrets.
"No…No, Xiao County Nan, think about it carefully. Didn't I say that back then…"
Xiao Fan cupped his hands and said to Zhangsun Wuji,"Is there anything else?"”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded and waved his hand fiercely.""Take them away!"
" Xiao County Nan…Brother Xiao…Xiao…"
Ning Cheng's cry was getting further and further away.
……
Taiji Palace.
Ning Cheng's eyes became more and more frightened.
He didn't know why he was brought to Taiji Palace.
He was just an ant. There was no need for him to come to Taiji Palace, unless…
The criminal law of the Great Tang rarely killed people.
After Li Shi Min took over the government, he had not killed a single person for three years. Even if they were evil people, Li Shi Min would give them a chance to change.
Let alone the officials of the Great Tang?
Ning Cheng originally had a fluke and felt that at most he would be dismissed from office.
But now…
Horror, intense fear.
Boom!
When they arrived at the Dew Palace Hall, Ning Cheng suddenly knelt down.
"Your…Your Majesty, this humble subject…greets, greets Your Majesty.”
Li Shi Min looked at him and said lightly,"County Magistrate Ning, come, raise your head and see who I am.”
What a familiar voice!
Ning Cheng trembled as he swallowed his saliva and slowly raised his head.
Swoosh!
He felt like he was suffocating!
Not far away, the Great Tang Emperor was sitting upright. A few days ago, he had gone to the Wannian County Office in high spirits.
" Your…Your Majesty…" Ning Cheng was instantly stunned.
"Oh, you still know me?" Li Shimin said playfully. Did you regret not killing me back then?”
"What? No…I don't dare, I don't dare."
"You don't dare?" "How dare you, Ning Cheng!" Li Shi Min said in a deep voice. If he could ignore the laws of the Tang Empire, what was there to be afraid of?”
"Dai Zhou! The Supreme Court approved his death sentence and beheaded him at the Meridian Gate…at the East and West City Department Caishikou! As an example!"
"The matter of this official is to be announced to the world and spread among the people. In the future, if the yamen continues to be so unreasonable, severe punishment will not wait!”
"Drag him away!"
" No…Please don't…Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please spare me…"
County Magistrate Ning's voice was getting further and further away.
Wei Zheng cupped his fists and stepped forward." Your Majesty, the Tang Empire rarely has the death penalty. Although this child has offended the heavens, the death penalty is too heavy.”
Zhangsun Wuji threw his cotton coat onto the Dew Palace.
"Doctor Wei, try it on."
Wei Zheng didn't understand. He put on his cotton coat. In an instant, his eyes revealed a look of shock.
" This is the cotton-padded clothes that His Majesty mentioned," Zhangsun Wuji said." The cotton inside can be planted in large quantities."”
"Such a crop was reported to Magistrate Ning, but he ignored it. If not for His Majesty's keen eyes, how many people of the Great Tang would have died?”
Wei Zheng instantly understood. He gritted his teeth and shouted coldly,"This defeated dog deserves to be killed!"
