As soon as Liu Guangye saw Hu Yuanli, he was secretly shocked.
Hu Yuanli and he were both Imperial Censors; although one was from the Left Censor Department, the other from the Right Censor Department, the two were like fire and water, but they worked in the same yamen, naturally they knew each other.
In his shock, Liu Guangye ignored Hu Yuanli's reprimand and said in shock, "Imperial Censor Hu! How can you be here? "
Hu Yuanli angrily said, "This official has received imperial orders to patrol the various roads, specifically to investigate and apprehend people who disregard human life as grass! Liu Guangye, you have committed many bloody crimes in the Barbarian provinces, you have killed many innocent souls. The bamboo of Guannan Mountain, your crimes are not over; the waves of the Eastern Sea, your evil is not over! This official will definitely report the facts to the imperial court, if I do not bring you, Liu Guangye, to justice, to the world, Hu Yuanli will not rest! "
Liu Guangye heard that the imperial court had sent someone else to monitor their movements, he was even more shocked. But as soon as he heard Liu Guangye's accusation, Liu Guangye was displeased and temporarily suppressed the panic in his heart. His face darkened and he said, "Imperial Censor Hu, you are a high-ranking official of the imperial court, how can you speak without thinking and slander this official? This official is carrying out an imperial order to handle a case, what crime have I committed? Treason should be executed, hanging the corpses as an example to the public is to deter thieves and thieves. You slander me without reason, what proof do you have? "
After Sun Yuxuan got off the carriage, he saw Liu Guangye had brought a lot of heads, and behind him were many young boys and girls. He was so angry that his face turned purple. If you asked him to memorize, he could talk endlessly, but if you asked him to scold people, he was not as eloquent as Hu Yuanli. If you asked him to list such a long list of crimes in one breath, it was not his forte; it was a skill practiced by the imperial censors. Therefore, he could only glare angrily from the side and let Hu Yuanli speak. Now that Liu Guangye dared to quibble in front of him, Sun Yuxuan laughed sorrowfully and said, "Proof? You still want proof? "
He took two shaky steps forward. Sun Yuxuan was in the prime of his life. It was not that he was old, but when he thought of the horrendous scene he had just seen, the legs of this bookworm, who had never seen such a cruel and inhumane scene, suddenly trembled.
"According to the laws of the Imperial Court, even if there is a rebel, even if the relatives are not killed, the father, the young son, and the woman will not be killed. I saw the corpses with my own eyes. There were white-haired old men, children less than ten years old, and many women and women. Most of the dead were old, young, women, and children. Liu Guangye! Could it be that an old man in his seventies also wanted to rebel? Could it be that even infants in swaddling clothes wanted to rebel? Could it be that those women also wanted to rebel? Liu Guangye, you! You deserve to die! Your sins are so heavy that even if you die ten thousand times, you still won't be able to atone for the numerous crimes you committed in the Barbarian Province! "
Liu Guangye calmed down and sat on the horse, gently clapping his hands. He smiled and teased, "Good! Well said! Well scolded! How impassioned! The two of you have red mouths and white teeth, echoing each other, it's even better than singing an opera! "
Liu Guangye put on an act and laughed three times towards the sky. Then his face darkened and he snorted, "Do you think I'm guilty just because you say I'm guilty? This imperial envoy is handling this case according to the imperial decree. Everything I do is for the Imperial Court, there is absolutely no selfishness. This official handles the case according to the justice, why would I be afraid of the two of you slandering me! "
He glanced at the two of them with disdain and said, "This official came here according to the imperial decree to handle the case of the vagrants rebelling. Since the two of you have the responsibility of supervising, then you can just watch from the side. This official does things with a clear conscience. In front of the Emperor, I'm not afraid of fighting this lawsuit with you! "
Liu Guangye flicked his sleeve and ordered sternly, "Go! Hang the heads of the rebels on poles as a warning to others! "
Those soldiers were local officers and had to abide by the law in everything they did. But ever since they followed this imperial envoy Liu, they killed and robbed people, bullied men and women, and were even more bandits than bandits. Those days were truly joyful. Once a person's desires were unrestrained, the kindness in their heart would be eroded by greed until there was not much left.
At the beginning when they were assigned to Liu Guangye to listen to his orders, these soldiers were still quite disgusted with Liu Guangye, an outsider, riding roughshod over their heads. But after tasting the sweetness, they became obedient and obedient. Once they heard his orders, they immediately escorted the criminals and were about to continue forward.
The conversation between the two was heard by the captured Xie Man soldiers. Some of them were not proficient in Chinese and did not understand what the two were talking about. Although some understood, they were afraid of the soldiers' swords and spears and did not dare to speak.
But there was a girl who understood the contents of the conversation. Hearing that these two were also imperial envoys and hearing from their tone that they were enemies with Liu Guangye, she knew that this was a rare opportunity. She immediately rushed out and screamed, "Imperial envoy daren, we are wronged! We are wronged! Liu Guangye indiscriminately killed the innocent and disregarded human life. Imperial envoy daren, please uphold justice for us! "
There was actually someone who dared to undermine him in front of him?
Liu Guangye flew into a rage and turned his head to look. He saw that the girl who rushed out of the crowd to cry out for her innocence was the girl that he was most satisfied with. This girl was the prettiest among the Miao girls. He initially wanted to keep her in his room but since this Miao girl did not know how to appreciate his kindness, Liu Guangye did not hesitate to kill her.
Liu Guangye's face darkened and said sternly, "Impudent!"
The servant on his left heard his voice and released the snake skin whip in his hand. With a flick of his hand, the whip exploded and struck towards the Miao girl.
"Stop!"
Sun Yuxuan shouted loudly and stood in front of the Miao woman. The servant could not stop in time and 'Pa!' the whip landed on Sun Yuxuan's shoulder. Sun Yuxuan was in so much pain that he quivered. His summer clothes were thin and a bloody mark immediately appeared on his shoulder.
Liu Guangye saw that he was blocking and the hostility in his heart grew. He pointed to the Miao girl and said, "Kill her for me! Drag her corpse through the streets! "
Two soldiers immediately pulled out their swords which were more than a foot long and charged towards the Miao girl. Sun Yuxuan endured the pain and spread his arms in front of her to protect her. He said sternly, "Who dares to make a move?"
Hu Yuanli saw that Liu Guangye still dared to kill wantonly in front of them and could not help but tremble with anger. He said sternly, "Liu Guangye, how dare you! Of course you still dare to kill wantonly in front of us! "
Maqiao had only brought four soldiers with him to the Southern City. The five of them had been waiting at the side, watching the few court officials negotiate. Seeing this situation, Maqiao's hand placed on the hilt of his sword and slowly unsheathed it. The four soldiers saw that the Brigade Commander had made a move and immediately pointed their spears forward.
Liu Guangye rolled his triangular eyes and said sternly, "Why? You want to assassinate this imperial envoy? "
Hu Yuanli said loudly, "This official is not only responsible for supervising your actions but also has the responsibility to investigate the truth of the Liu people's rebellion. You indiscriminately killed the innocent and disregarded human life. This official suspects that there is something hidden and has the right to stop you and investigate the truth! "
Liu Guangye raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you say that just now? Imperial Censor Hu, do you really have the imperial decree? You must know that passing a false imperial decree is a capital offense! "
Hu Yuanli said, "We naturally have the imperial decree in our hands!"
Liu Guangye lazily stretched out his hand and said, "Then please take out the imperial decree and let this imperial envoy see it clearly!"
The imperial decree and the imperial envoy's decree were both in Yang Fan's hands. How could Hu Yuanli take them out? Even though he had another secret decree in his hands, that secret decree was also for Yang Fan. He did not dare to open it without permission.
Hu Yuanli's expression showed a slight hesitation. Liu Guangye, who was sitting on his horse, saw it clearly. Immediately a suspicion arose in his heart, "Could it be that he is not the imperial envoy following the imperial edict at all, but has some other official business? He happened to pass by this place, saw me doing something, and decided to bluff and bluff to deceive me?"
Thinking of this, Liu Guangye narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Imperial Censor Hu, where is the imperial decree? Where is Kanhe? You … are you trying to deceive this official? "
Song Chumeng and Song Wanyou also became nervous when they heard this. The two of them went out of the city to welcome them and saw hundreds of soldiers protecting them. How could they still doubt Hu Yuanli and Sun Yuxuan's identities? Besides, they were local officials and did not care about the rules like the officials of the imperial court. That was why they did not ask for the imperial decree to be seen. If these two were really fakes …
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and took a step back at the same time.
Hu Yuanli said, "This official is naturally a genuine imperial envoy! However, this official is the deputy of the imperial envoy and the head of the imperial envoy is the Director of the Ministry of Justice, Yang Fan. The imperial decree and Kanhe are both in his hands! "
When Liu Guangye heard that there was also a Yang Fan and that this person was the biggest enemy of the imperial censor, he was already seventy percent convinced. In his nervousness, he blurted out, "Is this true? Where is Yang Fan now? "
Imperial Censor Hu was an upright person and did not know how to lie. Hearing this, he hesitantly replied, "Imperial Envoy Yang … moved separately with us. We first went to Yaozhou to investigate the situation of the vagrants. Right now … he should be on his way to Manzhou."
Liu Guangye's heart was at ease and he laughed at the sky. "Hahaha, that is to say, you have nothing that can prove your identities?"
Liu Guangye lowered his head from his horse and glared at Hu Yuanli. He coldly said, "You don't have the imperial decree in your hands, what right do you have to restrict this imperial envoy's actions? Humph! You better not interfere with this imperial envoy's actions. Otherwise, I, Liu Guangye, may recognize you, but the sword in my hand does not! "
Liu Guangye's gaze swept past Hu Yuanli, Sun Yuxuan, and Maqiao one by one. When he saw Maqiao, his gaze was fixed on the sharp blade in Maqiao's hand that was half unsheathed. He smiled mockingly and finally glared fiercely at Song Tongmeng and his nephew. The two uncle and nephew had expressions of unease and did not dare to meet his gaze.
Liu Guangye slightly raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Niu Yilang, why haven't you beheaded that little slut yet?"
Hu Yuanli was both shocked and angry. However, he had let the cat out of the bag and could not prove his identity, so there was nothing he could do. He was, after all, a person who had been in the bureaucracy for many years. If it was Yang Fan present, even without the imperial decree in his hands, he would dare to order people to take down this arrogant and ruthless official first. However, in Hu Yuanli's mind, there were no thoughts that were outside of the rules.
Maqiao naturally wanted to chop off Liu Guangye's dog head, but he could not do so at the moment. This was in broad daylight and there were hundreds of people here. If he did this, it would undoubtedly be a rebellion. He had an elderly mother, a lovely wife, and an unborn child. How could he do this?
Niu Yilang was the servant who waved the whip just now. He heard the voice and dismounted from his horse and unsheathed his sword. Seeing that he was about to commit murder, Sun Yuxuan, who had not spoken for a long time, puffed out his chest and stood in front of the Miao woman. He shouted coldly, "This person cannot be killed!"
Liu Guangye looked askance at him and did not recognize who he was. He asked coldly, "Why? You want to obstruct this imperial envoy from handling the case?"
Sun Yuxuan said, "This official works for the Ministry of Justice. This barbarian woman has cried out her grievances to this official. This official has accepted her case. This woman will naturally be under my responsibility!"
Liu Guangye laughed coldly and said, "No matter how you argue and find excuses, she is this imperial envoy's captive. This imperial envoy is in charge of a major case of rebellion. Since when is it your turn to interfere? I'm afraid this girl's death is none of your business! "
Liu Guangye pointed his horsewhip at the Miao woman and shouted loudly, "Execute this barbarian woman who has rebelled against the imperial court!"
His voice had just faded when he heard an awe-inspiring voice shouting, "He can't interfere, but can I?"
Liu Guangye turned his head when he heard the voice and looked over in astonishment. He had just opened his eyes when he saw a large foot flying towards him. The sole of the boot landed on his mouth with a 'pu' sound and kicked him off the horse.
