Chapter 282 - 282: Punishment by Battles
Shen Ming was acquitted, and the losses he suffered would be compensated by the He family. They ordered He Wenxuan to return the girl to her and then remove her name and return her freedom.
After listening.
Zhang Ronghua laughed. He Wenxuan had suffered a huge setback this time, even worse than the memorial!
Just the punishment of this year’s salary and Xuanwei Sect’s ten strikes of the cane had dealt a huge blow to his prestige. With his body, after the cane punishment, he would have lost at least half his life.
The butler was even dragged to the market to be beheaded. For a lowly second rank official to be dragged to the market to be beheaded was a small loss of face, but it was a huge signal that the Xia Emperor was already dissatisfied with him.
The people around him looked at each other, but they didn’t know when to speak. They waited until they got back to Xuanwei Gate. The Emperor Guards had already surrounded the area and forbade anyone from taking even half a step closer.
However, there were many people standing outside them. They were all wearing official robes and were officials. After all, it was not easy to see such a lively scene today.
Within the Human Emperor Guards, He Wenxuan was expressionless. His eyes were dark and gloomy. He looked at the increasing number of officials and his heart was filled with anger. He wanted nothing more than to cut Pei Caicai into pieces.
He had defended against the Evergreen Academy, but he had never thought that he would fall into his hands. He had never thought that this old fellow would be so decisive and seize the opportunity to give him a fatal blow.
His hands were tightly clenched under his sleeves.
He hated it! He was even more unwilling!
Grand Secretary Cui had warned him to be careful and not to mess around, especially during the crucial moment of entering the pavilion. He had also remembered his words and instructed the butler to be careful when selecting candidates. He had told the butler to be careful and not to cause any trouble. If it could be solved with money, he should not use his power to suppress others. He did not expect to meet a stubborn man like Shen Ming who was not afraid of death. Before Shen Ming could make up for his mistake, they had already obtained evidence of his crime.
The matter was already set in stone, and it was too late to say anything.
With the identity of a second-grade chief in front of the hall, being punished in Xuanwei Sect was even more ruthless than sprinkling salt on his wounds.
The leader of the group, Sima, opened his mouth and said,”Execution!’”‘
The two Human Emperor Guards rushed forward and held He Wenxuan by the shoulders, pressing him to the ground. He did not dare to resist or struggle at all. He closed his eyes in humiliation, his nails digging into his flesh as he endured.
“Fight!”
A Human Sovereign Guard came forward with a court staff and stopped beside him. He grabbed it with both hands and swung it around. With great strength, he slapped his butt roughly.
It was too painful! He Wenxuan was already enduring, but this attack had broken all his defenses. He cried out in pain as his butt swelled up. His official uniform was dyed red with blood. It seemed like it had been broken.
“How ruthless!” Ding Yi sighed.
Zhang Ronghua smiled. With such a huge commotion, if it was a fake fight, Emperor Xia would not have ordered the battle to be carried out here. He would have directly attacked outside the Purple Extreme Hall.
With so many people watching, it would be meaningless to fake a fight. Instead, it would bring about a bad influence.
The court baton did not stop and continued to hit his butt ruthlessly. Every time it landed, He Wenxuan would scream in pain. When the baton was over, his old eyes closed and he fainted.
After the show ended, it was time to go back.
The three of them returned and entered the Scholar’s Hall. Lu Junxiu tactfully did not follow them. After they entered the hall, he closed the door and went to do his own things.
In the room.
There were no outsiders present, so there was no need to worry about speaking.
“Why didn’t you kill this old fellow?” Ding Yi asked. If he died in the battle, there would be less trouble in the court.”
Zhang Ronghua took a bite of the fashion brand that he hadn’t finished eating just now. He shook his head and said, “Things are not that simple. If you want to get rid of him, this small matter alone is not enough! However, His Majesty had ordered him to be brought to Xuanwei Gate for punishment. It seemed that he was very disappointed in Grand Secretary Cui and wanted to use this as a warning.”
“Brother, does He Wenxuan really not dare to take revenge on Shen Ming and the others?”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua replied.
“This matter is very big. Even if Pei Cai comes out to protect him, he won’t make a move even if we lend him a few guts. After this battle, He Wenxuan would rest for a few days and lay low for a while. He would go to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets after the storm passed.”
Ding Yi also took his unfinished breakfast and continued eating. As he ate, he said, “I’m afraid his butler won’t be beheaded in the market tomorrow!”
Zhang Ronghua nodded. Xuanwei School had already humiliated He Wenxuan. If they were to drag his butler to the market and behead him, his reputation in the capital would be completely ruined.
Although that was the order, what if the butler committed suicide today?
Could it be that they could drag his corpse to behead him? It was obviously unrealistic.
After breakfast.
Ding Yi still remembered what had just happened and asked impatiently,””Brother, what kind of pill did you refine?”
Zhang Ronghua didn’t keep him in suspense. He took out a pill and handed it over.
Looking at the pill in his hand, a rich medicinal fragrance spread out. There was also the faint gnnnd of a dragon’s roar Ding Vi was shocked “This. this
“With the Azure Dragon bloodline as the main ingredient and the eighteen spirit herbs as the auxiliary ingredients, strictly speaking, there are only nine of them.”
“Could it be that your alchemy skills have also reached the sixth level of the Dao of Apparition?”
Zhang Ronghua replied with a smile.
Gulp!
Ding Yi looked at him like he was looking at a monster. He only came back to his senses after a while..”How can a person’s talent be so strong?”
