Chapter 574 He Ao, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments

Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times before meeting Zhuge; Guan Yu passed five passes and beheaded six generals before meeting the emperor's uncle;

It's just that Quzhi County was poor, and half of his life was knocked out.

Of course, even without Zhu Ping'an, Quzhi County could not escape today's torture. No way, this is life. Man is a knife, I am fish, if there is no strong strength, there is only a portion on the cutting board.

After Zhu Pingan watched the government servant carry the blood-stained Qu Zhixian away, he saw He Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, surrounded by several officials.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is an old man who is over half a century old, his hair is already white, but he has the demeanor of being quite old and still able to eat, with big arms and round waist, a very strong figure, at least half a head taller than himself. His complexion is not like that of a literati, but that of a warrior, and his skin is a bit like his father's bronze color. So strong and powerful, it is no wonder that it can withstand the imperial staff of the two dynasties. This body can resist blows just by looking at it. If it were other weak officials, it would be fate to be able to withstand a single imperial staff. Have to hang eight. Especially in the Jiajing Great Etiquette Controversy, the Royal Scepter was the real thing. Of the 124 officials, sixteen were killed on the spot, and twenty-seven were dying. Seven or eight of them did not survive a few days after returning. indivual.

He Shangshu walked forward with eight-character steps, walking in the front, followed by two officials and several subordinates. He Shangshu's pace was not fast, but he was very imposing. It seemed that he had been in a high position for a long time, and he had a leadership demeanor.

He Shangshu just glanced at Zhu Pingan, but just this one glance made people very stressed. Zhu Pingan felt like he was being stared at by a tiger in the forest, but fortunately the tiger was taking a nap, maybe it was full. Or maybe it was a picky eater, and he didn't pay much attention to himself, but just glanced at himself.

However, what about the tigers? How many tigers have become cushions on people's seats, and even the tiger whips have been soaked in wine and drunk.

What's more, this fierce tiger has become Yan Song's dog at this time. It's a pity that he has survived the court staffs of two generations of emperors, but he kneels at Yan Song's side, and he will not be safe at the end of the festival.

"My subordinate Zhu Ping'an has met Mr. He and all your lords."

Zhu Pingan raised his head and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and his party who were getting closer and closer. He stood firm, with a respectful look on his face, and saluted from a distance, with his arms straight forward, his right hand slightly bent inward, and his left hand Attached to it, move your hands from top to bottom from the height of your forehead to the height of your chest, and at the same time bend your waist at forty-five degrees to salute.

Bow your hands in this way and salute twice.

Afterwards, Zhu Pingan remained in a bent posture and remained still.

Not to bend one's waist for five buckets of rice means to have a backbone and not to follow the trend. In ancient times, when meeting a high-ranking person, it is normal to bow your hands and salute. Even if he was like "Bijiashan" Hai Rui, he had to bow to the official to salute, but the officials around him all knelt to the official to show that he was standing.

Of course, Hai Rui definitely didn't bend like this himself, it was the standard twice. Haha, if Hai Rui saw this scene here, he would definitely laugh at himself. Zhu Pingan bent over and hooked his lips.

one second

two seconds

Zhu Ping'an bent down and counted silently. It has been two seconds since he saluted and said hello, and he has not heard any response from He Ao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the third second, Zhu Ping'an heard an insignificant "um" sound, there was no extra sound, and there was no ups and downs in the sound track, probably He Shangshu didn't even nod his head.

Speaking of such a strong person, such a soft voice. You are constipated.

Zhu Ping'an bent over and twitched the corners of his mouth indistinctly, then replied loudly, "Thank you, sir," and stood up with a respectful expression on his face, even more respectful than the doctor Zhai Juntao beside him.

If you meet officials of the Ming Dynasty, if the official rank is at the same level, then you can hand in each other or hand in hand twice; nod in reply. At the same time, there is an unwritten rule, that is, when officials with low official positions bow their hands to salute, they must do a big salute, just like Zhu Ping'an.

As for He Ao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who makes people have high official positions, he can return gifts as he likes.

"My lord, please take your seat." Zhai Juntao, the official secretary of the Qing Dynasty, smiled and welcomed He Ao, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, to the center of the room.

"Master Wang, Lord Liu, please." Langzhong Zhai Juntao greeted the other two colleagues with a smile and folded his hands.

"Your Majesty Zhai, please be polite." Lord Wang and Lord Liu bowed their hands in return, and sat down courteously.

Not only intentionally or unintentionally, everyone greeted each other and sat down. Zhu Pingan was the only one left in the room. No one took care of him. He stood where he was, surrounded by people like a monkey in a zoo.

"Hey, Ping An, why are you still standing, sit down."

After standing for several seconds, Zhai Juntao seemed to have just noticed that Zhu Ping'an was still standing, he let out a sigh, and called Zhu Ping'an to sit down.

"Thank you, my lord." Zhu Pingan did not refuse, and after cupping his hands to thank, he sat down at the bottom seat.

"Are you Zhu Ping'an?" The Lord Wang sitting under He Shangshu shifted his gaze to Zhu Ping'an, raised his chin and asked formulaically.

Nonsense, Zhai Langzhong called me safe when he gave up his seat just now, I am not Zhu Pingan or someone. Of course, Zhu Pingan would not say that.

"Yes, my subordinate Zhu Ping'an has met all your lords."

Zhu Ping'an got up and bowed his hands again, then glanced at the officials above him. He Ao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, came along with Mr. Wang and another Mr. Liu. As for the other subordinates, they can be ignored.

Wasn't there Jin Yiwei who was tried in the case of Quzhi County by the Federation just now? Why didn't I see it? This 40-year-old Mr. Wang is definitely not Jin Yiwei, and the official uniform he is wearing is not the uniform of Jin Yiwei. The uniform is not the uniform of Jinyiwei. Perhaps the Jin Yiwei of the joint trial had other errands and didn't come here.

"Hmm." Lord Wang who asked the question nodded, and then asked He Ao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, who was sitting high, with his eyes, then looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked, "You don't have to be nervous, this time we just understand Regarding the situation, we will notify you and Zhao Qianhu to come and make a statement after we confirm the date with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Factory Guard."

Ha ha

Okay, I have repeatedly urged you before, but now I am not in a hurry anymore. The position of the Ministry of Punishment can be seen from this.

It seems that this petition will definitely be troublesome.

Zhu Ping'an was not surprised by this, he had already prepared himself before coming here, and now his guess was just fulfilled.
