Text Chapter 1251: Replacing the First Place
"Defend on the spot? What a fair and impartial high official!" Tengfei laughed angrily when he heard this. He didn't want to say anything more, but he couldn't help but raised his chin toward the basin below, "Gao Guan, how dare you Guarantee that none of these people will cheat again?”
He has offended a lot of people this time, and it's really none of his business. But there are so many petty people in this world, and even if some people know that he can't control anything, it's a sin for him to sit here, and it's inevitable that some people will resent him. I wonder why he didn't stop him. He has the power of troops and horses to stop Gao Guan or delay Gao Guan until he is escorted back to deal with it, giving him a chance to survive!
He did have the ability and strength to stop Gao Guan. In fact, he had tried to stop it by force before, but there were some words that he could not spread out. Although he had guessed that Gao Guan dared to do so because he had the permission of the Emperor of Heaven, he could not do it to anyone. Each victim's family members naggingly explained that it was the Emperor of Heaven who ordered it. Once the matter spreads and is used by opponents, the Emperor's thunderous wrath will inevitably fall on him.
What's more, this matter has nothing to do with the Emperor of Heaven. Gao Guan didn't say it was the Emperor of Heaven's will. Gao Guan took the blame on his own and helped the Emperor of Heaven to take the blame. The Emperor of Heaven is still the most reasonable, and the Emperor of Heaven's wisdom cannot be questioned. , at this time, if he still dares to say that it is the Emperor of Heaven's will, and you can't provide evidence, then it is slander and slander, and he cannot afford the consequences.
In fact, he had contacted the Emperor of Heaven before but was suddenly unable to contact him at this important juncture. It was already very clear what the Emperor of Heaven meant and what attitude he expressed. If you dare to make it clear that you are going against the Emperor of Heaven, that's good! It is inconvenient for the Emperor of Heaven to kill all his ministers, but it is still very easy to kill or remove a few ministers. Some methods can be used to remove him from his position, and some people can take his place.
In order to prove his innocence, he did not dare to go against the Emperor of Heaven for the sake of appearance. Even Gao Guan didn't dare to stop the person who killed him, not only to give an explanation to the Emperor of Heaven, but also to give an explanation to the families of other victims. I can't even save my own relatives sitting here!
He watched his relatives being beheaded, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable. Being with a king is like being with a tiger!
Gao Guan said calmly: "There is no guarantee."
Tengfei sneered, finally seizing the opportunity: "Since there is no guarantee, how can this assessment be fair? Aren't these people who were beheaded died unjustly?"
Gao Guan looked back and said: "Gao Mou also has this doubt, but he doesn't have any evidence. Could it be that Teng Shuai has any evidence? As long as Teng Shuai reports and finds witnesses, Gao Guan will investigate to the end and will never tolerate it!" "
"..." Tengfei was speechless. He knew very well that someone must have done something to help the children of the family get the assessment results. He had done this before, but what could he say? As soon as you say it. That would really offend someone to the point of death. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't be able to say it out loud. It could be said that he was instantly speechless.
Seeing that he stopped talking. Gao Guan changed the subject: "I was supervising dozens of people on the right who were killed by these deceitful thieves, and thousands of your troops, Teng Shuai, died in battle. This matter will be reported back to His Majesty. His Majesty will be furious. It is directly related. It’s inevitable that everyone will be executed!”
Tengfei's heart tightened. He had been trying to find out which company was responsible for this fraud, and the supervisory department had been refusing to disclose the information. Now Gao Guan suddenly mentioned this. This made him a little nervous. Could it be that they were the two people in his family who were beheaded? If this is the case, those two bastards really deserve death, and death is not a pity!
He quickly asked: "Which family did the good thing?"
Gao Guan gave him reassurance, "It has nothing to do with your family! It has delayed the war. Someone must take responsibility for this matter. Otherwise, there will be no explanation to the superiors and the subordinates. If someone takes responsibility, it will be over. Teng Shuai does not need to say more. think!"
It’s better if it’s not your own home! Frightened, the anger in Tengfei's heart finally subsided, and he could only let out a bitter smile in his heart. He knew that all the people who had been beheaded died in vain. Gao Guan had already made it clear that the related family would be in trouble. Your Majesty is going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys! Because all the people involved in this incident were ordered to be executed, His Majesty was so furious. Who dares to stir up such anger and toss it to no end? His Majesty has a legitimate excuse in his hand. No one can say what the excuse is for delaying the war. It can be big or small. Do you want to force your Majesty to make the matter bigger? Things naturally passed like this. Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!
After calming down, Tengfei felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Although these powerful children were seeking their own death, without the forbearance of the elders in the family, they would not have reached this point. If they wanted to help the children and grandchildren behind them, they would have a better future. Sent to the guillotine.
Tengfei knew very well that these powerful children were forced to come to the place of purgatory. At the beginning, everyone just wanted to save their lives. As long as they saved their lives, they would still have a chance depending on their family background. They didn't do anything at all. I had other ideas, but after I saved my life, I found that hell seemed to be nothing more than this. They were unwilling to be lonely and plotted to get rich. They couldn't control it and started to use their hands and feet. Unexpectedly, Gao Guan intervened to disrupt the situation!
But Tengfei couldn't tell whether the sudden change in the review method was Gao Guan's own intention or the Emperor's. None of this was important. What was important was that he had seen how strong the Emperor's determination to rectify was, and he even did not hesitate to confront the powerful officials of the Manchu Dynasty. …
Still in the temporary pavilion, the supervisory staff organized by Zhuanyuan were busy finalizing the results of each assessor.
In the basin at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of thousands of people were silent. They looked at the place where the head was beheaded on the cliff. When they opened their eyes, they could see blood dripping from the cliff. The red blood was like the mouth of a waterfall, eye-catching. At the foot of the mountain, there are piles of severed heads and mutilated corpses, which is shocking.
Why so many powerful people were beheaded is no longer an open secret.
Xiahou Longcheng's voice of dry swallowing was clear to his ears. Only he knew whether he had ever thought of cheating, and he was very happy in his heart.
Many powerful disciples who used their connections to coerce and induce some achievements were all uneasy, worried whether Gao Guan would continue to pursue this issue. Even Zhan Ruyi felt guilty. His arrogance was gone, and his expressions were no longer natural. From time to time worry flashes through.
Now when this group of people saw the tall hat on the front steps and the black cloak on the shoulders, they felt a little chill in their hearts. Most of them had only heard of the cold-faced judge for a long time before, but today they could actually see it with their own eyes. , I feel more terrifying than the Emperor of Heaven. In everyone’s mind, the Emperor of Heaven is glorious, upright, and famous. At least everyone thinks that the Emperor of Heaven is a relatively reasonable person and would not do such wanton killings!
Miao Yi stared at the silent tall crown in front of the palace on the top of the mountain. He was really impressed by the cold-faced envoy. Although he had ordered thousands of heads to be beheaded back then, those were the heads of thousands of servants of powerful families. Compared with this The heads of more than a thousand powerful men are incomparable. What's even more sinister is that they haven't announced the charges yet, and they have been chopped off without even announcing the charges!
From the looks of it, it seems that there is no intention to expose so many powerful people’s charges of fraud!
The sky is filled with sunset, the sun sets, and the smell of blood spreads in the air, warning everyone. The figure standing high in front of the hall wearing a black cloak and flying in the wind still makes people shudder...
"Zhuanyuan, please change the rankings. The first place will be replaced by the second place, and the second place will be replaced by the first place. No one below is strictly allowed to leak this matter. Anyone who violates the order will be executed!"
In the main hall, Gao Guan, who was sitting upright and had read the list of assessment results, suddenly made a surprising statement.
Zhuoyuan raised his head and was surprised. He didn't know why the lord who always upheld justice would do this. He hurriedly advised: "Sir, this must not be done! The first place Zhan Ruyi is the niece of King Yingtian, and the second place Wang Dingchao has nothing to do with it. Background, the cultivation level of the eighth-grade Golden Lotus is still inferior to that of a small mountain god... Of course, the humble position does not mean that he looks down on Wang Dingchao's background. In fact, Zhan Ruyi's background is not trivial. It would be fine if she did not get the first place, but she relies on her achievements You demoted her to second place after she really won the first place. In addition, my lord has just beheaded so many powerful people. King Ying Tian will not let it go. Many people will use this to make an issue to impeach me. Please think again. ah!"
He has offended countless people by following Gao Guan over the years, and he has been tied to Gao Guan for a long time. Once something happens to Gao Guan, he, a loser, will not be able to survive, how can he not be shocked!
Gao Guan said calmly: "That Zhan Ruyi got the first place based on real results? Isn't it possible? If we really investigate it seriously, I'm afraid her head will be in danger! Zhuanyuan, it is precisely because Wang Dingchao has no background that we let him If there is no incentive to be the first, who will dare to come to the next hell test? Some things need to make people see hope, and let people see what it means to change their destiny! You don't have to worry about King Ying, even if he knows it. He won’t say anything even if he learns the inside story. He knows what’s going on better than we do, so he will remain silent and won’t have any opinions.”
Zhuanyuan suddenly realized, understood, and felt relieved. This was not what Gao Guan meant, but what the higher-ups meant. It was the result the higher-ups needed, and there would be no problems...
After repeated checks and confirmations, half a month later, the assessment results of more than 200,000 people were announced, and more than 100,000 people returned empty-handed to save their lives and were not on the list.
Among the people who returned empty-handed, they were either powerless people who backed down after witnessing the horror of hell; or they did not have the right background of power at home and did not dare to mess around and remained cautious, having seen so many lives. After landing, some people felt that their decision was wise and it was better than losing their lives.
On a sunny morning, more than a hundred stone slabs with names engraved on both sides fell from the sky and were inserted in a row in the center of the basin.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Zhuoyuan Shifa announced loudly: "The assessment results have been released. To show fairness, they will be published for three days. Those who have doubts about their results can request a review. If no one has doubts about their results after three days, it will be decided." Next, report to heaven!" (To be continued.)
