Chapter 182: Extraordinary Performance, the Neighbor's Dog Must Be Convicted of Knowing the Crime but Not Reporting It
Ji Chen chuckled and said, "Whose crotch has a hole in it, exposing the two of you black things. Not only do you look ugly, but you are also disgusting. It is true that birds of a feather flock together."
"You should be thankful that this is the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion. If it were another place, you would have died several times.
"Ji Beigui, what do you mean?" Xu Chengwei was furious. Although he mocked Ji Chen, he did not curse.
This guy was good, he cursed directly, pointing at his nose and cursing.
He just said a few sarcastic words, saying that Ji Chen's copying of poems was just nonsense. After all, Ji Chen's poem "Handing a Sword and Riding a Horse" was indeed only half a verse, and many people were looking forward to the other half.
However, Ji Chen cursed directly, how could he not be angry.
Xia Ziran had long been unhappy with Xu Chengwei, and said directly, "I said you are a black thing, didn't you hear it? With your IQ, you can get into the academy. I really don't know how much money your father spent to bribe the examiner. "
He had been unhappy with Xu Chengwei for a long time. He and Xu Chengwei were divided into two factions in the academy. He represented the poor faction and Xu Chengwei represented the aristocratic faction. The two often quarreled.
Xu Chengwei was also from a poor family. He was only reluctantly related to the aristocratic family because of his mother. He regarded himself as a noble family all day long, and was high and mighty. He did not have the background of a noble family, but he learned all the problems of a noble family.
"You, Xia Wenzhong, you are looking for death!"
Xu Chengwei was furious and was about to fight, but was stopped by Fang Jingyu next to him.
Once you fight here, the nature will be different. It doesn't matter if scholars talk nonsense, and gentlemen talk but don't fight.
If you want to fight, you have to agree on the time and place, and there must be witnesses or prizes for sword fighting.
"What, you don't accept it!" Xia Ziran sneered.
"Brother Ji, beat him up and let him see the ability of the Demon Suppression Division. "
Xia Ziran had wanted to deal with this guy a long time ago. Although scholars cannot do it casually, Ji Chen can. As the general flag of the Demon Suppression Division, he can directly say that he suspects you are possessed by a demon, and then beat you up to exorcise the evil spirit for you.
It would be useless to beat him up.
"Don't bother so much. I will check whether his father has embezzled. According to the Great Xia law, if an official embezzles 1,000 taels, he will be dismissed and investigated. If he embezzles 5,000 taels, he will be exiled to the border. If he embezzles 10,000 taels, he will be beheaded. If he embezzles 30,000 taels, his entire family will be executed. If he embezzles 100,000 taels, his entire family will be executed. If he embezzles 900,000 taels, he will be executed. If officials and businessmen collude, they will be punished together."
Ji Chen said calmly, his eyes fell on Xu Chengwei.
"This brocade dress of his is made of rare material, with a silk border and gold embroidery embedded inside. It is finely made. It is specially made by Su Embroidery Workshop. This dress alone costs more than 500 taels."
"The boots are also from Su Embroidery Workshop, more than 200 taels. "
"The jade pendant on his waist is made of top-grade ancient cold jade, which can assist in cultivation and calm the mind. It is conservatively estimated to be worth more than 10,000 yuan."
"The folding fan in his hand is also made of jade, and the fan surface is woven with silkworm ice silk. It is conservatively estimated to be worth more than 20,000 yuan."
"His father, the Lord of Liangzhou, has a monthly salary of only 100 taels. Even if he has outstanding political achievements and is rewarded by the court, his annual salary is only over a thousand taels! If you say there is no corruption, I'm afraid no one will believe it!"
"Based on the value of Xu Chengwei, it is no problem to kill the entire clan, not to mention the nine clans. "
As soon as Ji Chen finished speaking, the whole place was silent, and everyone was shocked.
Good fellow, you just said a few words and sentenced the whole family to death.
This is not just ordinary, this is a wolf extermination!
Xia Ziran was also stunned. Even he did not expect Ji Chen to do this. His original intention was to hope that Ji Chen would use his identity to beat this guy up and vent his anger. After all, he just said a few words.
This guy is good, he arranged the whole family neatly and clearly.
This is really a talent. You should not work in the Demon Suppression Department. It would be great if you could go to the Judicial Department with this ability!
If you go to the Judicial Department, I guarantee that there will be no unjust, false or wrong cases, and you can kill all the officials in the world.
"Brother Beigui, is your performance a bit extraordinary?" A Confucian scholar next to him said weakly. Just a few words to kill a whole family, it's too cruel. You are a demon!
Ji Chen said lightly: "This is just my normal performance! "
Normal performance???
The people around were confused again. If he performed normally, he could arrange everything for the whole family. What if he performed exceptionally?
The scholar asked again: "Then, what if Brother Beigui performs exceptionally?"
Ji Chen said seriously: "If he performs exceptionally, all his neighbors, including those who pass by his door, will have to go to the Ministry of Justice. Even his neighbor's guard dog will be charged with knowing the crime but not reporting it."
"Hiss! "
The whole yard took a collective breath, and then fell into collective silence.
The atmosphere was frozen to the extreme.
You are a demon!
The neighbor's guard dog should be convicted of knowing and not reporting.
Xu Chengwei's face turned pale, and he was terrified. He never thought that just a few words to Ji Chen would involve his whole family.
Although he knew that the other party might be trying to scare him, the key point was that this matter really could not be investigated. How many officials are clean? It's just how much they have been corrupted. It's just a matter of whether the higher-ups will investigate or not.
Especially since the other party is from the Demon Suppression Division, although they have no right to investigate his family, if they really want to investigate and publish the evidence, even if the higher-ups don't punish his family, it won't work. Even if the whole family can't be executed, at least his father is dead. The Xu family depends on his father. Once his father dies, the Xu family will collapse.
In an instant, Xu Chengwei's forehead was sweating and his body was shaking.
Fang Jingyu looked at Ji Chen coldly and said, "Xu Chengwei is my cousin. I gave him clothes, shoes, jade pendants and folding fans. Do you have any objections?"
Ji Chen chuckled, "If you have any objections, just check it out. By the way, check whether your Fang family and his Xu family have colluded with officials and businessmen. If so, punish them all. Believe me, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is no case that the Demon Suppression Division cannot investigate."
Fang Jingyu's face was very ugly. Collusion between officials and businessmen, you guessed it right, it really existed. What was the purpose of the Fang family marrying so many officials? The purpose was to consolidate the status of the Fang family. If Ji Chen really wanted to hold on to this matter, even if their Fang family had the ability to operate and settle it, it would cause a lot of trouble.
And it was unwise to confront the Demon Suppression Division head-on.
This was also the reason why he stopped Xu Chengwei from talking nonsense at the beginning. After all, no one's ass was clean. Unexpectedly, that guy was not motivated and was caught by someone after all.
This Ji Beigui was also a demon, and he actually found fault with his clothes.
Fang Jingyu suppressed his anger and said, "Xudi was impulsive and outspoken. If he offended you, I will apologize to you on his behalf."
"We are all scholars. There is no need to spoil everyone's fun for a small matter."
"Today's gathering was initiated by two nobles in Beijing. We don't need to let the nobles in Beijing look down on me, a talented person in Beizhou, because of a little verbal dispute."
