Chapter 1548 Hitting the board

   Turning his head and seeing that the guard was about to take the portrait away, he quickly stopped him: "You must show the portrait to the people around you, otherwise who knows if you will forge evidence."

  Ye Muyu had already seen a series of his reactions in his eyes, and already had guesses in his heart. He scratched his fingers in Chu Heng's palm, and Chu Heng clasped his five fingers tightly, and tapped the back of her hand with one finger.

  The corners of Ye Muyu's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and the roots of her ears were still a little red. If it wasn't for the large robes to cover it up, it might have been exposed long ago.

  She tidied up her emotions and raised her hand towards the guard: "Let everyone browse through it."

  Two guards held the portraits and showed them to the crowd.

  In the crowd, after seeing the portrait clearly, several people's eyes flickered and they left quickly.

  The man was relieved to see that his accomplices had left.

   "Is it all right?" Ye Muyu asked.

  The man nodded: "Barely enough."

  Ye Muyu: "Then it's my turn now. You said before that I, Yonghe Garment Shop, sent people to cheat cotton, so the cost was reduced, so the cotton clothes are so cheap, right?"

  The man saw her admit it, his eyes shone brightly, and he nodded quickly without thinking about it: "Yes, businessmen don't chase profits."

"That's good. The cost of cotton is only 30 yuan for a cotton-padded coat of two hundred cash. What's more expensive is the labor cost. After all, the embroiderer's weaving speed is very slow, so the price of cotton-padded clothes is high. Is it cheating cotton? Even if you cheat cotton , My shop can’t survive, it’s losing money, no matter how much money I have, I can’t afford such a loss, so, what you said before, the reason why my Yonghe Clothes Shop cheated the villagers of cotton in order to sell cheap cotton clothes is untenable.”

The man did not expect Ye Muyu to call back in a few words, and said harshly: "You are buying fame for money! Don't think I don't know, standing next to you is Chu Heng, the servant of the household department. Being reused by the emperor, you deliberately gain fame, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to subvert the imperial power?"

  When the man uttered the last two words, the people around were frightened into silence, and the eyes of some officials and eunuchs watching the excitement flickered.

   "Discuss government affairs indiscriminately, slander the Holy Majesty, come and hit the board."

  Chu Heng acted resolutely, and asked the guards to press the man on the board and beat him on the spot. Fifteen boards were beaten down, and the man cried out in pain.

   Then I heard Chu Heng's cold voice: "According to the laws of the Great Chu, those who make false comments on the government and slander the Holy One will be whipped fifteen times. Can you plead guilty?"

The man didn't expect Chu Heng to be so ruthless at all, he didn't even give him time to react, and he started to hit him directly. When he met the opponent's cold gaze, there was a heart-piercing pain in his buttocks. He suppressed the fear in his heart forcibly, and roared: "You pretend to be an official and use lynching audaciously. Even if I violate the law, it's still a matter for the Ministry of Punishment. It's not something you, a servant of the household department, can manage. I'm going to Dali Temple to sue you."

  Chu Heng looked at him indifferently, and took out a waist card from his chest: "This is an imperial order, issued by the emperor himself, and in special circumstances, you can take care of it first."

The man looked at the token in his hand in disbelief, his eyes were shattered, he didn't expect that he failed to slander Chu Heng, but instead he dealt with him. If he had known, he wouldn't have talked about such controversial topics. .

   "Now, you can lie down and continue talking. I think you are guilty and dare not enter the yamen. If so, in front of everyone, if what you said is false, you should naturally be dealt with according to the law."
