Cub Nursery

Chapter 244

"Ruan Duanxi! You plead guilty or not!" Wu Hongsong slapped the gavel and shouted!

"What is the crime of the old man?" Ruan Duanxi poked his neck, but pleaded not guilty.

Even if the evidence is convincing, even if there are all personal and material evidence, and they are all placed in front of him, even if there is no room for refutation, Ruan Duanxi still refuses to admit it.He knows that admitting and not admitting some things are two different things, sometimes the boundaries between black and white are not so clear, but are often reversed.

"En?" Yan Xun stared into Ruan Duanxi's eyes, wanting to see if he was guilty, but Ruan Duanxi didn't feel guilty at all.

True or false, false or true, perhaps some things no longer need to be defined by the truth in the eyes of Ruan Duanxi, but have completely become interests.

Having an interest can be the truth, and vice versa can be a lie.

The little cubs looked at Ruan Duanxi with some doubts, even if they knew that Ruan Duanxi was different from them in their hearts, and knew that things in the world were not so black and white, they still didn't understand why Ruan Duanxi could deny what they had done in such a way .

"This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with. He will never plead guilty no matter what. If he beats or scolds him, he will feel that he is being tortured." Baobao folded his arms and said old-fashionedly, "I have seen many kinds of people like this in Dali Temple. If necessary, torture must be used, otherwise they would not be able to plead guilty."

"I'll go ask him." Brother Dan regained his energy immediately, ran to the front, asked Yan Xun with his eyes, saw Yan Xun nodding, then ran in front of Ruan Duanxi again, put his hands on his hips, and said loudly, "Ruan My lord, you refuse to plead guilty, do not admit these irrefutable evidences, do you think someone will save you?"

Ruan Duanxi looked down at the short brother Dan, and sarcastically said: "You are a monster, not a commoner in Daqin, what right do you have to come here to talk?"

Even though Yan Xun is the minister of Honglu Temple and an official of the imperial court, his sons are monsters, and they are so small that anyone who is not a fool will know that they are not ordinary children. At this time, Ruan Duanxi said that he believed that Brother Dan must be I feel a little angry, after all, this is Daqin, there are only a few monster cubs, but there are many, many people.

Brother Dan is indeed small, and sometimes he can run on the ground without being noticed, but he moves fast and has great strength, so he doesn't need to worry about being trampled to death or easily beaten to death.

Even when he heard Ruan Duanxi's provocative words at this time, Brother Dan was not angry. He raised his face and said proudly: "How do you know that I am not qualified to come here? My brother's master is from Peking University, and my brother often goes to Dali Temple Help, make great contributions, do you think he is qualified? Without my brothers, do you think the border town can be so stable, can Daqin rent the barren hills of the demon country? Although my brothers never take credit because of their status, and never want to credit, but they don’t have to, but you can’t think that they don’t have it, that they don’t have the qualifications!”

A few words speak loudly.

Brother Dan walked around Ruan Duanxi with his hands behind his back, and said impassionedly: "People always have pursuits in life, either for fame or for profit. My brothers are not for fame and fortune, they do things for the people. What about you? You do things for the people. Fame and wealth, there are thousands of dollars in the family, and the account book is there... You have several lives in your hands, and the bones, witnesses, and physical evidence are all there."

"Master Ruan, the fame and fortune you pursued will no longer exist. What are you insisting on now? My father entered the palace and asked for an imperial decree just to punish you. Don't you understand?"

While talking, Brother Dan suddenly stopped.

The cubs in the hall all raised their faces slightly, standing reservedly.

The catchers listened carefully. They were not very familiar with Yan Xun and the cubs. They usually only looked at it with their own eyes. I also did so many things in the border town.

They all have the illusion of breaking through the fog and sand and seeing some truth.

In fact, the truth has always been there, but they don't know it.

"Master Ruan, you don't have to wait any longer, the person who will help you won't show up." Brother Dan said loudly, "Unless you are willing to reveal some information..."

"You!" Ruan Duanxi pointed at Brother Dan, trembling with anger.

This little cub was impolite, without the slightest adjustment in his speech, and didn't give him any face. He said it so straightforwardly, and he still didn't forget to show off his messy brothers.

Brother Dan has done very few things by himself, and it can be said that he has no credit at all, but he can jump out and pick out those things that his brothers never said on weekdays, and tell them to people who don't understand. , Say it to those with a guilty conscience.

Ruan Duanxi stared at Brother Dan viciously. He felt that these little cubs were raised stupid by Yan Xun. Since they had made so many contributions, why didn't they seek more benefits? Instead, their lives were still the same as before, and sometimes even Not as good as before.

He couldn't understand the little cubs, and the little cubs couldn't understand him.

Maybe only Brother Dan can understand a thing or two, or maybe Brother Dan himself doesn't understand. He just looked at Ruan Duanxi and felt that his brothers were wronged. , to protect my brothers like my brothers protect myself.

"You have all been rejected by Yan Xun. You are so capable, why don't you vote for another master?" Ruan Duanxi suddenly calmed down, and he heard from Brother Dan's words that these little cubs might still have evidence that they hadn't shown yet. , but obviously it has nothing to do with others, and he still has chips that the cubs don't know.

With a calm heart, Ruan Duanxi looked at the cub standing next to Yan Xun, looked at the proud and arrogant brother Dan, and began to provoke.

"Hey." Brother Dan covered his mouth and smiled, ran back and stood at Yan Xun's feet, but stopped talking.

The little cubs all looked at Ruan Duanxi, thinking that he seemed a little silly.

In the beginning, these cubs were all monsters and because of their special appearance, they were feared, disliked, or even disgusted by many people. However, when they got the honor of being a scholar, those answer sheets were posted and were seen by many scholars. When they are down, these little cubs are already very different from before.

There are still people who hate them, but more people accept them.

He became a young scholar and made great contributions in the border town.

There are also those miraculous Gewu, without the cubs, there would be no such miraculous Gewu.

Ruan Duanxi is not the only one who agrees with the cubs' ability, there are also many people who are tempted, and they even penetrate into every hole.On weekdays, even if the cubs go to the mall to have a meal, they will always meet people who come to befriend and win them over.

Those temptations of fame and fortune can even pamper the cubs, so that they don't need to restrain themselves, they can do whatever they want, and give them absolute freedom.

Every day, he faces so many temptations, all kinds of temptations, he can meet everything he can think of, even the unexpected ones, even Brother Dan has met people who waved to him.

"You are stupid." Seeing that no one spoke, Brother Dan couldn't help but said, "Who do you think can compare to my father in this world?"

In Ruan Duanxi's mind, there were many adults, even the emperor, His Royal Highness, princes, but when he looked at Yan Xun again, he suddenly fell down.

There is only one Yan Xun in this world, and there is no one who can compare to him, not even the ninety-five supreme emperors in the world.

Yan Xun doesn't have that much power, and he doesn't do whatever he wants, but as long as he wants to do, he can definitely do it, and he protects the cubs so well, even if it is changed to anyone else, there will be no such thing I don't have such an idea.

In the face of these cubs with great abilities, ordinary people will only desperately use them.

"Because of feelings." Yan Xun said indifferently, "No one else has feelings for them."

Even when Yan Xun first woke up in Honglu Temple, he was still thinking about the hatred from his previous life. When he saw monsters, his first thought was not to die, but to kill the grass and roots.However, there was no hatred for humans in the eyes of the first snake cub, which Yan Xun, who just woke up at that time, had never seen in his life, so he tried to change his attitude instead of repeating his previous life. To kill, to repeat the ending of the previous life.

In the beginning, they didn't know each other and had no feelings. Yan Xun's kindness was only a little bit big, and he would leave at any time.

As he got acquainted with the cubs, his relationship became more and more profound, and now Yan Xun almost forgot about himself in his previous life, and lived happily every day in this life.

"Put Ruan Duanxi down and leave the court for now!" Wu Hongsong slapped the gavel and said with a straight face.

There were no outsiders in the lobby, and the gate was closed by the police, so Wu Hongsong showed a tired look.

Yan Xun found a bench and sat down, motioning for Wu Hongsong to sit down too.

"Sitting for a long time, I'm tired. I'll just stand up." Wu Hongsong asked Yan Xun in a low voice, "Master Yan, what should we do at this time?"

The witnesses and material evidences are complete, and almost everything that can be thought of is prepared, so Yan Xun even made a special trip to the palace and invited the imperial decree.

However, Ruan Duanxi just pleaded not guilty. If he was put in prison like this, he might be reversed and rescued by someone with a heart in a short time.Zhao Feiteng was like this at the beginning, and Ruan San also had twists and turns at that time.

Even if the imperial decree is requested, it is just a little more certainty. Even the emperor cannot act recklessly in matters of the court.

"I still have to go to the palace." Yan Xun said in a deep voice, "Ruan Duanxi refused to plead guilty because he thought that someone would come to save him. I gave him two choices, plead guilty, or confess something, then we can discuss it. However, now Ruan Duanxi obviously does not intend to confess, nor does he intend to plead guilty..."

"Hey." Wu Hongsong sighed, "Even if Ruan Duanxi confessed, it's just to catch some scapegoats."

Daqin's officialdom is a net. No one is completely white, and no one is completely black. If you want to survive in this net, you must become gray.

Even Wu Hongsong, the official of the capital's parents and the emperor's confidant, still has many shady things hidden in his hands.

Even Yan Xun, who stayed out of the matter, did not use methods to erase Huang Ting.

"You have to try." Yan Xun stood up and straightened his clothes, saying, "The officialdom of Daqin does not necessarily have to be clean and clear, but it must be restrained. It cannot be lawless. This time Ruan Duanxi dared to divide the position, the highest bidder won. There must be helpers behind, although the money has been intercepted, but there is no guarantee that there will be no next time..."

"Forget it, the old man will come along too." Wu Hongsong sighed.

Yan Xun nodded, and went out with Wu Hongsong through the back door of the yamen, heading for the palace.

This time it was not Zhang Rui who led the way, so Yan Xun asked in a low voice, "May I ask Eunuch Zhang what's the matter?"

"Lord Yan, Eunuch Zhang said that the emperor felt a little unwell, so he went to the dining room to make medicine, so he sent his servants to lure the two adults." The little eunuch said softly.

"Thank you." Yan Xun immediately understood.

It meant that the emperor was not in a good mood, but it was not convenient for Zhang Rui to come out, so he asked the little eunuch to help with the conversation.

In the imperial study.

The emperor sighed and asked Zhang Rui, "Ruan Duanxi is not a good Honglu Temple minister, why do you have to intervene in the barren mountains of the demon country?"

"This... this old slave doesn't know." Zhang Rui hurriedly knelt down.

"Hey... If he is a little more honest, I can help him. Although Ruan Duanxi is not very capable, he is obedient enough. It's a pity..." The emperor said this, but his face was a little hesitant, obviously he I don't want to give up Ruan Duanxi.

There are a lot of capable officials in the court, and the governance of various places in Daqin is also very good. Now the border town is stable for the time being, and a large part of the credit is due to Yan Xun.

Border towns, even the capital city, even Daqin, cannot do without Yan Xun.However, in this way, Yan Xun was on the cusp of the storm and became a school of his own. The common people even only knew Yan Xun but not the emperor.

This is not what Yan Xun did deliberately, but because no one in the court can sit on an equal footing with Yan Xun.

Although Ruan Duanxi has done many evil things, as long as he is well controlled, he is a mad dog that will not bite his master.

The emperor thought for a long time. Originally, he wanted to wait for the barren mountain in the demon country to be dealt with, so he tried to promote Ruan Duanxi so that he could give full play to his abilities. It would be best to be able to match up with Yan Xun. Only by going back and forth can a balanced effect be achieved. As for Yan Xun being pushed higher and higher by the waves.

It's just that Ruan Duanxi didn't wait for the chance to be promoted, so he used his connections and took his servants to Jia Qiugu's mansion to make trouble, and was caught by Yan Xun again, and the evidence was presented one by one, even the emperor couldn't speak directly Pardon Ruan Duanxi.

Now that Yan Xun and Wu Hongsong are entering the palace, the emperor knows what these two people are doing, but as a Ming emperor, he cannot avoid seeing them.

Finally, Yan Xun and Wu Hongsong came in.

The emperor looked down at the two men and asked, "Yan Xun, does Ruan Duanxi have to die?"

When he asked like this, he almost expressed his thoughts directly.

Yan Xun didn't understand, but he couldn't go down the steps because Ruan Duanxi had to die.He doesn't mind who the emperor supports to balance him, but that person can't be Ruan Duanxi.

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of Great Qin, Ruan Duanxi will beheaded more than 100 times." Yan Xun said in a deep voice.

The emperor immediately lowered his face and said, "Could it be that I can't compare with the laws of the Great Qin? The laws of the Great Qin belong to me!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Ruan Duanxi!" Yan Xun refused to budge.

The emperor's face became even uglier.

He knew that Yan Xun was a smart person, and it was impossible for Yan Xun to understand what he said, but even if Yan Xun understood, he still chose to kill Ruan Duanxi, regardless of his wishes.

He is the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and he is the biggest in the entire Great Qin.

Just looking at Yan Xun kneeling below, the emperor couldn't protect Ruan Duanxi's life.

"Yan Xun, although Ruan Duanxi made a mistake, he has already been taught a lesson, why should you be so aggressive." The emperor said bitterly, "There are so many courtiers and local officials, but there are only a few people who are really useful. Yan Xun Xun you count as one, Ruan Duanxi is talented and knows how to judge the situation, so he should be counted as one."

Yan Xun pursed his lips and did not speak.

Ruan Duanxi is good at drilling, and he is very good at drilling. He has connections with many adults in the court, and he knows many secrets. The emperor may not know these things, but the emperor wants to use Ruan Duanxi, so he uses it, and does not consider other things.

"I assure you, Ruan Duanxi will not make mistakes again, how about it?" the emperor said in a low voice.

Wu Hongsong, who was kneeling next to him, was covered in cold sweat.

He originally thought that Yan Xun would understand it with reason and move it with emotion, but he never expected that Yan Xun would be so tough, that is the emperor aloft, and he would be so merciless.

People all over the world are coaxing the emperor, looking forward to the emperor's favor, trying to figure out the holy meaning, and only Yan Xun does the opposite. He still respects the emperor, but the principle of doing things is not the emperor. .

Wu Hongsong's body trembled a little. Although he didn't raise his head, he could imagine that the emperor must have an angry look on his face, and he would definitely have an attack immediately. Both he and Yan Xun would be dragged out, and maybe their heads would be lost.
