Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chapter 125: Become the Minister of Justice (6)

"Who allowed you to stand here?"

Just as Xie Lang joined the line, he heard a violent voice coming from behind.

At this time, Song Chengze walked in wearing an ochre-yellow robe. As soon as he came in, he looked at Xie Lang coldly.

Yesterday, when he heard the news that Xie Lang was appointed as the Minister of Justice, he immediately rushed to the palace to ask his father to revoke his decision, but his father refused to see him.

When had he ever suffered such injustice? And the source of all this was because of Xie Lang.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

When the ministers saw Song Chengze, they all bowed and saluted.

But Xie Lang still stood there, not even moving.

"How dare you, Xu Yingqing, to see the Crown Prince without courtesy? Are you trying to overstep your authority?"

The prince didn't need to get angry, as an official from the Ministry of Rites immediately stood up and scolded Xie Lang, directly accusing her of disrespecting the prince and usurping power.

His name was Zhang San. He had been working as a Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites for six years without any promotion. Now Xie Lang was promoted from the seventh rank to the second rank overnight, which made him jealous and crazy.

Now that Xie Lang saw that the prince couldn't even show courtesy, he was naturally secretly happy in his heart. If he really pursued the matter of disrespecting the prince, it could cost someone's life.

Xie Lang just glanced at Zhang San, then ignored the angry prince and said calmly: "Your Majesty has allowed me not to bow to anyone. If I don't even bow to Your Majesty, what am I to be the prince?"

The whole place was silent! !

After a few seconds of silence.

"presumptuous!!!"

“How dare you!!”

"It's so disrespectful, so rude. It's totally outrageous."

All kinds of scolding came towards Xie Lang in the court, and some old officials were so angry at Xie Lang's words that they almost fainted.

They have been officials for decades, how could they have heard such rebellious words?

It's simply outrageous.

"How could His Majesty give such an order? What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang San was angry at first, then secretly happy when he heard this. He didn't believe that Xie Lang would not die this time. He then said to Song Chengze, whose face flushed red, "Your Highness, this person openly spoke nonsense in the court and dared to say that you, the Crown Prince, are nothing. I think she is plotting a rebellion and should be tortured to death."

"Okay, okay, okay, you actually said that I am nothing?" Song Chengze said the word "Okay" three times in a row. His face was distorted with anger. The sound of his words seemed to be torn from his throat. He was like a wild beast that was ready to eat anyone. He shouted, "Someone come..."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw an even more exaggerated scene, which made him hold back his words.

Xie Lang had already walked in front of Zhang San. Under his astonished gaze, he grabbed his hand and gave him a sinister smile: "Lingchi, huh?"

"You...what do you want to do? This is the court, not a place for you to mess around." When Zhang San saw Xie Lang holding his hand, he subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get it free, so he showed a look of panic.

Xie Lang just continued to smile, and then there was a "ripping" sound.

"Ah ah ah..."

A painful scream burst out from Zhang San's mouth, echoing throughout the entire court hall, startling everyone.

Zhang San's right hand was forcibly torn off by Xie Lang, and then thrown to the ground with a "bang".

A scarlet bloodstain instantly appeared on the ground, and everyone could see that the fingers of the broken hand moved a few times.

There was also blood flowing from the cuff of Zhang San's right sleeve.

Such a bloody scene made everyone gasp.

"You... you actually dared to take action in the court, are you crazy?"

The Minister of Rites looked at Xie Lang with astonishment, but Xie Lang clapped his hands nonchalantly, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

Except for the Minister of Rites, everyone looked at her with shock.

Anyone who could do this is guilty of a crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of his clan.

"How dare you! How dare you! Hurry up and take her down, hurry up and take her down..."

When Song Chengze saw this scene, he shouted at the Yulin Guards without saying a word. He could no longer calm down at this time.

Someone actually dared to take action in the court. This is already lawless.

And just when the Yulin Guards were about to rush over.

"Your Majesty is here!"

When the eunuchs' voices of singing and shouting were heard, the hall instantly became quiet, and everyone knelt down in the direction of the puppet emperor.

Even the soldiers who were arresting Xie Lang and Zhang San, who was covering his right arm in pain, knelt down one after another.

Apart from Xie Lang, Xie Lang was the only one standing in the center of the hall, her crimson official robe making her look even more extraordinary.

The puppet emperor walked in and saw this scene, but he did not react at all. Instead, Wang Chengzhong, who was following behind him, looked particularly shocked.

"All the ministers are exempted from the courtesy."

After the puppet emperor finished speaking, none of the court officials stood up. Instead, they pointed at Xie Lang and said, "Your Majesty, this thief has no respect for the emperor or his father. Not only did he say that she would not bow to Your Majesty, and that the crown prince was nothing, he also broke the right arm of a fourth-rank official on the spot. This is simply against the will of heaven. If his entire clan is not executed, I think the world will be in chaos from now on."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."

Zhang San had a sad face and looked at the puppet emperor with grievance, tears streaming down his face. He looked so pitiful no matter how you looked at him.

"Father, please execute all nine clans of Xu Yingqing."

"I ask Your Majesty to execute all nine clans of Xu Yingqing."

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt on the ground, saying that they would kill all nine clans of Xie Lang.

"It was I who exempted Xu Aiqing from the etiquette, so she naturally does not have to kneel to anyone." The puppet emperor slowly said to the crowd, and the more he spoke, the more outrageous and ridiculous it seemed. "In addition, her right to take action in the court was also approved by me."

"Xu Aiqing will not easily take action in the court. If she does, then this person deserves it. I would like to ask, what did Zhang San do that angered the heaven and the people that made Xu Aiqing take action herself?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. What could he say?

If she did it, then that person deserved it, and that's what the emperor could say.

"Your Majesty, he said he wanted to torture me to death."

Xie Lang answered calmly, as if he was talking about a very small matter.

Hearing Xie Lang's words, the puppet emperor flew into a rage: "What? How outrageous!!!"

Hearing the puppet emperor's rage, Zhang San showed joy and looked at Xie Lang, "You're finished this time."

But the emperor continued, "Come here, drag Zhang San away and torture him to death."

Wha...what?

Zhang San was stunned at first, and the smile on his face froze. When he realized what the puppet emperor said, his expression became panic-stricken.

She cried to the puppet emperor, "Your Majesty, it was Xu Yingqing who disrespected the prince first. I was just refuting according to the law, and my hand was torn off by Xu Yingqing. Your Majesty, instead of punishing her, you actually want to torture me to death. I refuse to accept this!"

"Your Majesty, you can't do that!!!"

"Your Majesty, this is against etiquette!!"

"Father, you must have said something wrong. The one who should be tortured to death should be Xu Yingqing."

Even the Imperial Guards were surprised, wondering if the emperor had said something wrong.

Seeing this scene, the puppet emperor sneered at everyone: "Are my words useless? Drag Zhang San away and torture him to death. Hurry up."

At this time, the Imperial Guards understood and quickly pulled Zhang San up and dragged him back. Zhang San was already panicking: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life, I will never dare to do it again."

However, it was of no use. Finally, Zhang San looked at Xie Lang, as if grasping the last straw, and said to Xie Lang: "Master Xu, please spare my life. Please ask His Majesty to show mercy. Please...ah..."

Zhang San kept begging for mercy from Xie Lang, but Xie Lang remained indifferent. In the end, he even screamed in pain because he struggled too hard and got hurt.

Not long after, the whole person was dragged out of the hall.
