The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table fell all over the ground. Li Xiangjun was shocked and took two steps back, then stepped forward, picked up the dusty book of the Criminal Code, gently patted the dust on it, and placed it safely on the cabinet beside her. She said lightly: "There is nothing impossible, but you, a shameless person, cannot understand Mingxun's mind. The difference between you two is nothing if you can't understand it."

Hou Fangyu seemed to have been drained from his energy in an instant. He sat there limply, his eyes were stunned and speechless for a long time. Only his ups and downs showed his unwillingness. A long time later, Hou Fangyu asked, "Are you here to laugh at me?"

"No, I came here this time to tell you that in the special court two days later, I don't want my name to be spit out of your mouth." Li Xiangjun said seriously.

After hearing this, Hou Fangyu was stunned at first, and then laughed: "I knew that Li Mingxun also hated that you were once a prostitute! He asked you to come. A hypocritical person, why not kill me directly, and put aside all the money.

Haha, I want to preserve my reputation and show my magnanimity, which makes people disgusted.”

Li Xiangjun shook her head slightly: "No, I'm here myself, he doesn't know at all."

According to the rules formulated by the Special Court and the Anti-Trait Liquidation Committee, traitors like Hou Fangyu need three trials and three decisions. Of course, this is also what Li Mingxun meant. He wanted to turn the legal act of punishing traitors into an iron case, and also took this opportunity to infiltrate the spirit of the rule of law into a nation's bloodline. In this era, the rule of law is civilization and noble, and this process is not achieved overnight, but purging traitors is an opportunity, and it is the first footprint left by this nation and country towards the rule of law. At the same time, this history is always worthy of consideration.

Hou Fangyu accepted a trial, but only the special court read out his crimes to Hou Fangyu and everyone present. Hou Fangyu was listed with 32 major and major crimes, and he did not admit any of them. Although his eloquence and cultural literacy made his self-defense talent outstanding, he did not use any legal provisions. Therefore, the key lies in the second trial. The form of the first trial is almost the question and answer. The rhythm and scope are within the control of the special court. The second trial is from Hou Fangyu's free time. Li Xiangjun was worried that during this period of free time, he would talk about his past. Li Xiangjun is the wife of the head of state, and she would never want to slander even a little because of herself.

"Whether you voluntarily or Li Mingxun asked you to come, in two days, I will make your scandal public and make you and Li Mingxun despise forever!" Hou Fangyu's eyes almost fell out, and he shouted hysterically. He seemed to have found a way to retaliate against Li Mingxun than to defend the court.

"I won't let you do this." Li Xiangjun's pretty face turned cold and she said coldly.

Hou Fangyu laughed: "How can you do to me? I know that I am now a highly anticipated person. There are local gentry, Eastern Bandit reporters and even foreign envoys in the watch seat of the special court. If you kill me, everything Li Mingxun does will be wasted! Hahaha, Li Mingxun, a hypocritical idiot, who told him to cause trouble for himself and conduct public trials? He gave me a chance. I will catch it and vilify you very much!"

Hou Fangyu made a big fuss for a long time and felt dry mouth. He grabbed the water sent by Li Xiangjun and was about to drink it, but Li Xiangjun rushed up and pushed it away. The teapot fell to the ground, and the tea water flowing out bubbling. Hou Fangyu's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: "You really want to kill me!"

Li Xiangjun said: "You will never know how much a woman is willing to pay to protect her lover!"

After hearing this, Hou Fangyu hated him even more: "It's a pity that the final result will be the same if you kill or not."

"You are such a shameless person. Maybe I can't kill you, but you also have family members. Your youngest son seems to be only three years old. There will always be people paying the price for your arrogance. I will let you see it with your own eyes." Li Xiangjun gritted his teeth and said. Hou Fangyu couldn't believe that this was something a weak woman could say, but Li Xiangjun said: "Don't look at me like this. I'm just a woman, but I don't have the broad mind of Mingxun."

"I will tell everyone about this in court!" Hou Fangyu shouted.

Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "Go, everyone in the court knows that the head of state's wife is still at the base camp at this moment. You tell them that you saw me today. Maybe they would think you are a lunatic. Who would believe what the lunatic said?"

After saying that, Li Xiangjun walked out of the door and two female guards protected her to leave. Just as no one knew about her when she came, she was also quiet when she left. In addition to the custody area, Li Xiangjun suddenly found that there was one more person in front of the carriage she was riding in when she came, which was Li Mingxun's attendant.

"Madam, the head of state has been waiting for you for a long time." said the attendant.

The car door was opened, and Li Mingxun sat there bored. Li Xiangjun got up and the sound of horse hooves sounded. Li Mingxun said: "Why do you do this too much? Hou Fangyu has become a mad dog."

Li Xiangjun said stubbornly: "I will not let this mad dog damage your holy name. You have worked hard for decades and worked hard. What you should get should be respect and worship, not slander."

Li Mingxun smiled: "No gold is enough, no one is perfect, so why bother!

Which Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu is not a hero, and which one is a saint and gentleman? Qin Emperor burns books and burys scholars, Han Wu is addicted to immortality, Tang Zong kills brothers and kills brothers, Song Zu usurps the throne and seizes power, all of them are just like this. The literati are shameless, and frustrated must be criticized. Throughout history, how many unofficial history, the heroes of all generations have been made, which one has not been slandered, and which one has no gossip. If you block Hou Fangyu's mouth, can you dig out the hearts of gossip in the world?"

Li Xiangjun listened. Although Li Mingxun was scolding her, she didn't hear any anger. This was what she was worried about. Today's things failed. The only thing Li Xiangjun was worried about was her husband's anger. She sighed: "It's all because I'm tired of you."

Li Mingxun laughed: "I am just a rude person, why have you ever tired me?"

Li Xiangjun lowered her head and stopped talking. Li Mingxun patted her hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, Hou Fangyu's conspiracy will not succeed."

"But he is going to say it in the court."

Lee Mingxun said: "He can't say a word, whether it's good or bad."

"Why?" Li Xiangjun couldn't understand.

Li Mingxun said: "Hou Fangyu is right. I am indeed hypocritical in the issue of judging him, but he was wrong. I am a politician, not a gentleman. What I need him to do is to publicly confess his guilt and punish the law, so that the world can know the ugly faces of the gentry class and the literati in Jiangnan, rather than letting him talk nonsense. If he cooperates with me, I will give him a good ending. Unfortunately, he will not be useful to give him a chance!

Since he can't say good things in his mouth, he doesn't have to say anything."

"You mean." Li Xiangjun already understood that Hou Fangyu would become a mute: "But he can't say it, he can write it."

Li Mingxun smiled: "Writing materials are always much easier to operate than people."

Zhangqiu County Town.

The magistrate Huang Qingya staggered out of the sedan chair and had been waiting for his wife Liu, who had been at the door, ran over, held Huang Qingya's arm, and complained: "Oh, why did you drink so much wine? Master, you are in your fifties, you are at the age of raising your blessings and maintaining your health. Huang Fu, don't look at me!"

Huang Qingya was already a little drunk. Liu directly threw the fire on the butler. Huang Fu suddenly felt wronged: "Madam, Huang Fu is just a slave. He can't even enter the door. How can he persuade him? Today, the gentry in our county is invited together. They are all grateful to our master for his great kindness in life, and no one can persuade him."

"Where is Master Ma, why didn't he follow him?" Liu complained.

Huang Fu hurriedly said, "Master Ma has important matters to deal with, so he didn't go."

Several servants helped Huang Qingya into the bedroom in the backyard. Liu asked someone to fetch water and wipe Huang Qingya's face. Perhaps the cold water was aroused. Huang Qingya suddenly woke up, sat up directly, looked around, and shouted: "Why are you drinking here? Get the master to drink!"

Liu quickly stopped: "Master, you can't drink anymore."

Huang Qingya pushed Liu away, shouted for wine, and went straight to the study. Liu had never seen Huang Qingya like this, and asked Huang Fu to warm up and cook, while asking him: "Is the master's errand work today not going well?"

"It's good!" Huang Fu said happily: "Since I heard that the island barbarians in the East Fan besieged Qingzhou camp, I immediately asked the gentry from the countryside to bring money, grain, goods and the village warriors into this Zhangqiu County. I worked hard for more than half a month. I just finished it in the morning. Madam, guess what, good guy, the cavalry of the island barbarians came in the afternoon. It was so mighty that there were tens of thousands of people. The master asked someone to close the city gate. The town warriors and the yamen runners up the city wall, and fired dozens of shells in a row, and directly killed the island warriors. The gentry and the men praised the master for his cleverness and said that the master saved everyone's lives, and they were all happy."

"Why is the master so unhappy!" Liu asked.

Huang Fu shook his head and said, "Madam, the master is unhappy. Don't go to the study room. I'll invite Master Ma to come and let him mercy."

When Liu heard this, it made sense and did not dare to disturb him anymore. The study was quiet. Huang Qingya picked up the wine pot and poured two big mouthfuls, tilted on the chair, regardless of the cold wind, and was stunned and thinking about his own affairs. At this time, he felt powerless, and it was Tat.

Huang Qingya was from Fujian. He knew about the United States when he was a community. Eight years ago, the United States attacked Fujian, and Huang Qingya's family was also liquidated. He knew about the United States' attitude towards the gentry class and the strength of the United States. However, Huang Qingya was unwilling to accept it. He was not from a high background and had a shallow background. He studied hard for more than ten years and became a juren. He spent most of his family's money and even sold most of the land. If he stopped being an official because of the United States' liquidation gentry, wouldn't he have been in vain for half his life?

Huang Qingya escaped from his hometown. With his identity as a juren of the Qing Dynasty, he became such a seventh-rank official. After two years of stable life, the United States came again. Thinking of this, Huang Qingya couldn't help but burst into tears. He threw a wine glass and cursed: "Ming Qing, Zhu Ming, Dongfan, can't you give me a way out?"

After cursing with one sentence, Huang Qingya felt a little more comfortable. When he looked up, Master Ma Youqi walked in. He grabbed his old friend's hand: "Come on, Brother Ma, have two drinks with me."

Ma Youqi took the wine pot from Huang Qingya's hand and asked, "Didn't you drink enough during dinner? Now it's time to consider the future."

Huang Qingya smiled: "What are you thinking about? The army in Shandong has all gone to Qingzhou, which is the battlefield. At most, there are cavalry around our Zhangqiu. Now the children of gentry, autumn grain and taxes have entered the city. Can the Eastern Band still capture Zhangqiu?"

Ma Youqi said: "Don't you want a way out, like Zhou Lianggong?"

"Mr. Zhou Liang?" Huang Qingya remembered the Qingzhou branch road. During the meal today, a local gentry also talked about him, saying that Zhou Lianggong had betrayed all the gentry of Qingzhou and did not even get a single official position in Dongfan, but was rewarded with hundreds of acres of land and a house. It was really stupid.

Huang Qingya also echoed a few words at that time, but he was also a little moved. If the United States could also give him hundreds of acres of land and a house, he would be willing to save himself from his sins and keep the family safe, but would he still have that opportunity?

At this time, Ma Youqi had closed the door of the study and sent away the servants outside. Huang Qingya asked: "Brother Ma wouldn't really want me to join Dongfan. I escaped from Fujian back then. Now I have been an official in the Qing Dynasty for three years. I have not said that I have helped the gentry preserve their wealth during this period, and it is a death sentence in Dongfan."

"This may not be true!" Ma Youqi said: "Today, students have got a lot of things in Dongfan."

Huang Qingya knew that today when the gentry were fired guns at the head of the city to block the army cavalry, a group of people outside the city rushed in. Ma Youqi took the yamen runners to control those people, searched for leaflets and reward orders, and guessed that there were also spies and lobbyists and people like those mixed in. Ma Youqi was always busy with this matter.

As he said that, Ma Youqi took out a flyer from his arms and placed it in front of Huang Qingya. Huang Qingya picked it up and saw that this was a list of traitors issued by an organization called the Suppression and Liquidation Committee. The people on the list were all unforgivable and were sentenced to death. The flyer clearly stated that killing the people on the list can be rewarded or punished. The names on the list are all familiar with Huang Qingya. At least they have heard that everyone is a local official from Shandong.
