Seeing this, the tyrant couldn't help showing disgust on his face, and kicked the unconscious Xu Zhengxuan aside.
The Grand Marshal was dismissed from office by the tyrant. His son committed a capital crime, and he could not escape death. However, the tyrant spared his life because of his past merits. He allowed him to return to his hometown to farm and never return to the capital.
His son Xu Zhengxuan was not so lucky. He first raped a woman with bad intentions, and then spoke rudely to His Majesty and Concubine Yi. He was guilty of a capital crime punishable by beheading.
However, the tyrant felt that chopping off his head directly was too easy for him, so he ordered people to pull out the tendons in his hands and feet, cut off his tongue, and threw him into the military camp to fend for himself.
Zhang Daren of the Criminal Justice Department was beheaded for corruption and bribery, and the brother and sister who were nearly murdered were also vindicated.
Criminal Justice Department.
The great tyrant sat on a chair, looking at the two little yamen runners who had dared to step forward, and asked, "What are your names?"
"Your humble servant is Tang Zhongting."
"Your humble servant is Tang Zhongyu."
The Tyrant said: "You have done a great job today. As officials, you should abide by your duties, punish evildoers and eliminate corrupt officials. Don't be blinded by so-called power.
I am very pleased to have such a minister. What reward do you two want? I can satisfy you."
Tang Zhongting said, "In reply to your Majesty, these are our responsibilities and do not require any reward."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is our duty. As yamen runners, this is our duty." Tang Zhongyu replied.
"Really?" The Tyrant said calmly, "Now that Lord Zhang has been beheaded by me, his position is vacant. Don't you want to take his place? If so, I will naturally agree."
"Your Majesty, there is no one in this world who doesn't want to climb higher," said Tang Zhongting.
Hearing his words, the great tyrant raised his eyebrows slightly. He heard him continue, "I am a common man. Naturally, I want to take Lord Zhang's position, or even a higher position than Lord Zhang. However, I don't want to rely on your Majesty's so-called reward to get there. Instead, I rely on my own efforts to climb up step by step, one step at a time."
"That's a strange answer!" the tyrant said with a smile. "You really don't want it? If you rely solely on yourself, climbing up from a mere yamen runner will not be achieved overnight."
Tang Zhongting: "My father once said that one should be down-to-earth and not be eager for quick success."
"What about you?" The tyrant looked at another yamen runner.
"In reply to your Majesty, we both have the same father, so I will listen to my father."
"Hahahaha, interesting! If that's the case, then I won't force you. I also hope that you brothers will achieve great things in the future. I look forward to seeing you two in the court in the future!"
The Tyrant stood up and patted both of them on the shoulders.
When the two brothers heard this, their eyes lit up immediately and they said in unison: "Yes!"
After hearing the names of the two brothers, Wanwan felt that the name of the yamen runner named Tang Zhongting was very familiar.
[The name Tang Zhongting sounds so familiar, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before]
As the great tyrant cradled the little girl in his arms and boarded the carriage, he heard her voice. He pricked up his ears. Sound familiar? Could this Tang Zhongting be a traitor in the future?
The tyrant thought about it, and the next second he heard Wanwan's inner voice again:
[Oh! I remember now! Isn’t this Tang Zhongting the most capable general beside the male protagonist?]
The male protagonist? The one who would have their entire family's heads hang on the city wall three years later?
After hearing this, the tyrant immediately understood. He actually guessed right. The yamen runner named Tang Zhongting was indeed a traitor!
Kill him now or later...
No, it’s better to kill him now to avoid any trouble in the future. Now that he knows who the traitor is, he will definitely not leave him alive.
The tyrant was thinking of sending someone to assassinate the yamen runner named Tang Zhongting tonight, when he heard the little kid's thoughts.
[However, Tang Zhongting didn't look like someone who would betray his country just now. Why would he betray his country and join the male protagonist? ]
[Oh, now I remember, this Tang Zhongting seems to have had a rather miserable life. His parents died young, and after he grew up, he finally managed to find a job as a yamen runner in the government with his younger brother.]
Because he was too upright, he accidentally offended the son of a powerful official, who then murdered his younger brother. His childhood sweetheart was also targeted and humiliated by the son, and eventually, unable to bear the humiliation, she hanged herself.
[He also had his legs broken and thrown into a mass grave. Perhaps it was not his fate, so he was saved by a traveling doctor and survived.]
After surviving, he began to think about revenge for his tragically killed brother and childhood sweetheart. Then he met the hero and became his most capable general. When the army finally broke through the Dongming Imperial City, he also chopped off the head of the high-ranking official's son in one fell swoop, and his great revenge was achieved!
[Oh my god, the son of the high-ranking official who killed his brother and childhood sweetheart couldn't be the son of the Grand Marshal just now? Now that the Grand Marshal's son has been beheaded by his scumbag father, does this mean that the series of tragedies that followed for Tang Zhongting will not happen?]
[I've unknowingly eliminated another major enemy for my scumbag dad! Oh my god! I really am a lucky star!]
After hearing Wanwan's thoughts, the tyrant was also shocked.
It turned out that there was an inside story behind Tang Zhongting's treason. If he had not witnessed all this in the restaurant today, the tragedy would probably have happened just as Wanwan said.
Now it has been resolved accidentally!
The source of all this was that the girl suddenly became hungry and wanted to eat roasted whole lamb, which was why they entered the restaurant.
The tyrant was also very glad that he had followed them at that time, otherwise he would have planted a disaster for himself!
Wanwan is really his lucky star!
[Alas, it’s a pity that I didn’t get to eat the roasted whole lamb, wuwuwu~]
"Want to eat roasted whole lamb?"
The tyrant saw the little kid sighing and asked her.
Hearing this, Wanwan's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, "Wanwan wants to eat."
[Does this scumbag dad understand me so well now? ]
[Scumbag dad, if you come back to the palace and make me a roasted whole lamb, you will be my most beloved dad, no doubt about it]
Big Tyrant: Little brat, I hope you will keep your word. I am your most beloved daddy.
"I'll have the imperial chef prepare it when we get back to the palace."
"Great!" Wanwan immediately threw herself into the tyrant's arms and cheered, "Then Wanwan also wants to drink goat's milk. Roasted whole lamb and goat's milk are the best match~"
"Okay, whatever you say. You can eat whatever you want Wanwan." The big tyrant rubbed the little kid's head, his eyes full of pampering.
[This scumbag dad is so good to me. I am really crying. Suddenly I feel reluctant to see his head hanging on the wall in three years.]
