With the departure of the official, Bao Zheng quickly entered the state of investigating the case.
After all, this matter was personally encountered by the official, and it was the official who brought the two to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Even if it wasn't an imperial edict, it was no different from an imperial appointment.
Although the case was soon clear.
However, Bao Zheng still went to the Chu Mansion and found more witnesses.
Only when the evidence had reached an absolute level could the verdict be made!
"Gu Tingtang, you wanted to use violence against Zhou Shao, but because of his resistance, you became angry out of humiliation and pushed him out of the window on the second floor. Then, you chased him to the street and continued to beat him up. He also collided with the emperor's carriage and was personally questioned by the emperor. He still did not repent and made excuses to deceive the emperor. Therefore, I sentence you to the punishment of a guillotine!"
"Dog Head Chopper!"
With the final shout, the bailiffs immediately put down their killing weapons and carried out the dog-headed chopper.
He lifted the yellow cloth and immediately revealed a cold guillotine.
Zhang Long held the hilt and lifted the guillotine.
Immediately, someone pushed Gu Tingtang, who had long been paralyzed on the ground and could not even speak, under the guillotine.
"Chop!"
Bao Zheng stood up, took the token, and threw it out. With a loud reprimand, the guillotine suddenly fell.
Gu Tingtang's head was cleanly chopped off.
It made all the witnesses and Zhou Shao tremble in fear.
"Zhou Shao, I've been appointed by you to help you.”
After putting away the guillotine and lifting the corpse, Bao Zheng still had not sat down.
As he looked at Zhou Shao, he faced the Imperial Palace and cupped his fists towards the sky.
"So, you can ask for anything. I will definitely fulfill your wish on behalf of you!”
"I…only have one wish, and that is…to regain my freedom!”
Bao Zheng nodded and looked straight at a woman with heavy makeup."From now on, return the document and his freedom.”
"Lord Bao, even if this is…a favor from an official, you can't be so decisive and want this lowly one to regain her freedom without paying any price, right?”
The woman, who was actually a brothel keeper, immediately looked at Bao Zheng and spoke.
"What do you want before you set him free?”
"Although she is a courtesan, she is also a courtesan. She can bring us a steady stream of income, but in the end, the official has shown mercy. I will give her a preferential price of 100 taels of gold!”
Bao Zheng was furious." What a crafty woman! What a shameless face!" She is an official prostitute, because she was convicted into the Chu Guan, under the government, how can she become your money-making tool? Moreover, this was a favor from Wansui, yet you actually used it as leverage to obtain great benefits.”
"Men, punish me with a hundred strokes of the cane as a form of respect!”
"No…Lord Bao, I admit my mistake…"
The brothel madame was just a commoner and was indeed crafty. She originally wanted to use this opportunity to make a fortune.
After all, this was a matter that the officials were personally involved in. One hundred taels of gold should be easy to obtain.
However, he didn't expect that he would anger Bao Qingtian and be scared out of his wits, begging for mercy.
However, before he could finish speaking, a bailiff had already stepped forward and pinned him to the ground.
He raised his killing might and started to beat him with his staff.
Even though he was beaten to death very quickly, because the number of caning wasn't full, he was still falling heavily.
Let alone a woman, even a brawny man would not be able to escape death after a hundred strokes of the cane.
……
Marquis Ningyuan's residence!
In the hall, a group of people knelt down.
Chen Lin stood respectfully in front of him.
He had come to reprimand them under the imperial edict, and he had also brought the imperial edict.
"Marquis Ning Yuan, as the Marquis, you didn't discipline the descendants of the Marquis 'Residence and allowed his nephew to act recklessly. Not only did it damage the Marquis' Residence's prestige, it also affected the entire family.”
Gu Yankai broke out in a cold sweat and his face was pale. He said in shock,"This lowly subject…knows his sins!"
"Being in a high position and receiving the grace of the heavens, yet betraying the grace of the heavens. Marquis Ning Yuan will be demoted to Earl Ning Yuan!"
The reprimand earlier was already a very dangerous signal.
Immediately after, he was demoted, and it was a fatal blow.
This caused the Gu family to be extremely terrified.
But he had no choice but to respectfully accept the edict!
……
Ding!" Congratulations to the host. Zhou Shao, the official performer, has secretly set up a longevity token to worship you. You have received a reward of 5,000 deterrence points!”
Zhao Zhen, who was reading memorials in the royal study, suddenly heard the system's reminder in his mind.
It made him feel refreshed, and his face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward of the Rippling Phantom Divine Art!”
After the reminder from the front, the system's reminder sounded again.
His consciousness immediately surged into his mind and transformed into information.
It was the contents of the Rippling Phantom Divine Technique.
Obviously, this was because Zhou Shao had secretly set up the Longevity Token and obtained 5,000 deterrence points, causing the deterrence points to exceed 80,000, triggering the system's reward.
This made Zhao Zhen even more excited.
The Rippling Phantom Divine Art directly made up for his lack of movement techniques.
So there is no supreme body technique.
When he used it, he would replenish the strength in his body. It would last for a long time.
Moreover, the strength that was replenished would also be converted into physical energy, forming an increase in cultivation.
It was a divine technique that combined cultivation techniques and movement techniques.
As expected, he still had to go out to gain more!
Furthermore, Zhao Zhen had a flash of inspiration from his harvest.
Zhao Zhen was not unfamiliar with the official performer, but he only had some understanding of it through the debate drama before he transmigrated.
He was still relatively unfamiliar with the current state's official dancers.
Because of an unintentional action, he had actually obtained such benefits from Zhou Shao.
"Looks like there's a lot to be done with this!”
As he thought to himself, the corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth curled up into a bright smile.
