Chapter 220: Death Doesn't Go
With that, Lord Yao gave the squad leader a slight blow, turned around and hurried to the palace.
This thing is strange now, but if the time is wrong, there will be no good fruit for him to eat.
For this matter, naturally someone reported to Emperor Chu early in the morning, but the group of people outside the palace gate did not hold weapons, nor did they gather in front of the palace gate to affect the normal order, so the guards and the Praetorian Guards did not dare to drive or arrest without authorization.
One accidentally stirs up public anger, this is not a trivial matter.
Emperor Chu knew that such a thing had happened, so he still calmly asked the palace people to wait for him to wash and eat, and then go to court on time.
He is the emperor of a country who manages the heavens and the earth and the ordinary people below, does he still have to take care of even small things to the end?
So what does he do with so many people? For dry rice?
Therefore, in the empty hall, Emperor Chu sat on the golden dragon throne in a Ming yellow dragon robe with incomparably majestic high-end, coldly staring at the ministers standing in separate columns below.
Listening to the minister's remarks about one important event after another, an hour later, he slowly swept over the ministers in the hall with gloomy eyes, and said, "What else do you Aiqing want to play?" β
According to normal times, if there is nothing to play again, then it is natural to disperse, and then everyone should do what they want.
Lord Yao, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, glanced left and right, and after quickly glancing at Dali Siqing, he stood up cautiously. The emperor on the throne of the golden dragon clasped his fists with both hands, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." β
Emperor Chu's gloomy eyes faintly swept over the top of his head, "What's the matter with Yao Aiqing?" β
His mood looked normal, and his gaze looked even more normal. And it was precisely because of Emperor Chu's usual cold reaction that Lord Yao was even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty," Lord Yao bowed his head slightly in the face of Emperor Chu's two usual but invisible swords falling on his head, "There are unidentified people gathered in front of the palace gate, and the ministers had a brief understanding before entering the palace that theyβthe purpose of their gathering is to sue His Royal Highness the Prince. β
The hundreds of officials in the hall went up and down, and almost everyone saw the group of special beings at the gate of the palace. However, firstly, the group of people was indeed not close to the gate of the palace, and secondly, most of them were in the attitude of not caring about themselves, and no one was interested in wading in this troubled water before the matter was clear.
Therefore, when they heard Lord Yao's words, almost all the officials in the hall were shocked.
Countless eyes began to quietly look at the emperor on the golden dragon throne, guessing what the emperor would do next?
Suing the prince, this is not a trivial matter of sesame mung beans, but a major event that pierces the sky. What is the identity of the prince? The prince of Southern Chu, the future emperor of Southern Chu, is the future heir on whom Emperor Chu has high hopes.
Such an excellent existence, but was sued by the people in this form, which is tantamount to a silent but hard slap in the face of Emperor Chu.
The ministers were all speculating that if their majesty was furious, would they order that the group of special beings at the gate of the palace be directly pulled into the prison and cut off their heads?
After Lord Yao's words fell, there was a brief death-like silence in the hall.
For a long time, the ministers trembled and waited for the wrath of Emperor Chu to come, but unexpectedly, this did not happen.
The emperor on the golden dragon throne swept them with cold eyes, and said unhappily and angrily, "Yao Aiqing, do you know why they sued the prince?" β
According to the laws and regulations of the current dynasty, civil prosecutors cannot be sued casually, and they have to go through rounds of cruel tests before stepping into the public court to formally file a lawsuit.
Therefore, the group of special beings at the gate of the palace will choose this way to make things bigger. Only by bringing the matter to the emperor, the emperor will naturally send someone down to investigate.
Lord Yao buried his head deeply, completely afraid to meet Emperor Chu's cold and inquiring gaze, he trembled, and said, "I don't know," he paused, instinctively shrunk his neck, and then added, "It is said that the cause is that their relatives were killed as cattle by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." β
It is said that it was something that had not been investigated and collected, so he would first answer Emperor Chu with the word "unknown".
Emperor Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he silently glanced at the ministers, as if he was humming, and only after a long time did he coldly spit out the words, "Since you don't know, then check." β
His gaze condensed on Dali Siqing, and then fell on Lord Yao's face, "Three days, three days later, I want to know the details of the cause and effect of the matter." β
In addition to secretly complaining in his heart, Lord Yao didn't dare to show the slightest embarrassment on his face, and he had to respectfully thank him for receiving his life.
Emperor Chu gently and skillfully looked up the words, and the two pieces of mouth skin closed up and down, and almost instantly exploded the capital.
First of all, Master Yao went out of the palace gate and immediately went to investigate non-stop.
As the first person involved, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, did not go to court today for some reason, and after hearing about this incident, his face immediately changed in shock.
Lord Yao went out of the palace gate and saw the group of people gathered in the open space in front of the palace gate, which would be no more noisy. Instead, they sat cross-legged on the ground in an orderly manner, eating and drinking with their heads bowed silently.
Looking at this battle, it actually means that it is preparing to stay here for a long time.
Lord Yao couldn't help but feel angry when he looked at it, these people had nothing to do, and they gathered here to shout and shout.
They were fine, and they sat down to rest on the spot when they had food and drink. As for him, he hasn't taken a breath since he entered the palace, and he hasn't even taken a sip of water, so he is busy investigating this thing.
Lord Yao was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to be angry with these people at this time.
If the emperor was willing, he would have quietly and secretly sent people to control the leaders who gathered to make trouble. The dragons have no leader, and these people naturally can't make trouble.
But the emperor did not do this, and his intentions were obvious.
Since Lord Yao was ordered by Emperor Chu to investigate, how dare he be sloppy at this moment.
"Everyone," Lord Yao pinched his aching eyebrows, rubbed his sore legs, walked up to the group of people, stood on tiptoe and shouted, "This official is the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and he is ordered by the Holy Order to investigate your grievances. β
As soon as he heard his self-introduction, the special people who sat cross-legged on the ground and ate and drank suddenly boiled.
"Listen, everyone, Your Majesty has really sent someone to investigate."
Some people stood up, dancing with their hands and weeping bitterly.
"My family's grievances are hopefully washed away." Some people hugged their heads and cried, and some people also cried out with grief and indignation, "Ah...... I hope that God will open his eyes and let His Majesty see clearly what kind of virtue the future prince of Nanchu is. β
When Lord Yao saw them shouting and screaming, and also attracted the people who passed by nearby, his heart immediately became very nervous.
He asked people to go to the yamen with his warrant to transfer the yamen to come over, but the yamen has not yet arrived, and if this continues, he is really worried that things will make a big fuss.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted in his smoking throat, "Please listen calmly to what the official said first, if you want to investigate and present your grievances, you can't do it here, right?" β
He paused, slowed down his tone, and shouted again with a negotiable attitude, "Please go to the yamen of the Admiral of the Nine Gates with this official, and this official will personally investigate and inquire with you one by one." β
As soon as they heard that they were going to leave here and go to the yamen of the government's territory, some people immediately quit.
"No, we don't go. Nine out of ten officials are bad, and they all say that the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. β
"We went to the yamen with him, who knows if we will be beaten by the great torture servant in the end? Who can guarantee that we will make it out alive in the end? β
"Think about our relatives who died in vain in prison, it's not because of the dark dog officials inside."
"Don't go, resolutely don't go."
Some people shouted angrily, and everything they said was what they said in their hearts, and naturally they responded to it immediately.
"If you don't go, you can't go, if you want to investigate, you have to ask, you can do it here, why do you have to go to the yamen?"
"Yes, we're not going."
"We had to go to the yamen to inquire about the investigation, and it was obvious that they were lying to us and preparing to deal with us with heavy punishment."
Everyone, you and I said a word, and all kinds of worst possibilities were deducted to the yamen, and Lord Yao was furious when he heard it next to him, but he couldn't stop it, let alone refute it.
Because they only mentioned all kinds of possibilities, when there were more and more onlookers, or in front of the majestic palace gate representing the imperial power, Lord Yao was extremely aggrieved and found that he couldn't even speak.
Because at this time, the crowd was emotional, and your words and my words had long overshadowed his voice, and it was useless for him to shout again.
It's better to let them all vent all this excitement.
Fortunately, Lord Yao's people arrived at this meeting. When the yamen arrived, they gathered behind him.
Of course, the group of people who were foaming at the mouth of the crowd, despite their anger, none of them rushed to Lord Yao out of control and tried to attack him or do something unfavorable.
Therefore, these officials gathered behind him, and not too many people stood with wide eyes and watched the excitement.
Lord Yao didn't need their protection, and Lord Yao looked at the people who were constantly pouring around, and he didn't dare to order these officials to surround the group of people.
If this is not handled well, it will turn into a bloody conflict, which will affect the emperor's prestige among the people, and the black veil on his head will not be able to keep it, and whether his head can stay on his neck safely if he is a little unlucky will not be able to say it.
Can't surround the crowd, Lord Yao estimated the situation, and waited for those people to vent almost enough. directly transferred those yacha to the surrounding areas to maintain order, and at this time, the table pen and ink he asked for were all moved to the scene.
When the surrounding people saw this scene, they immediately became even more excited.
"Yo ho, look at this posture, the Admiral of the Nine Gates is really here, and he really wants to be interrogated in public today!"
This sentence soon became like a stone thrown into the calm surface of the lake, stirring the lake layer by layer.
Lord Yao looked at the heads of those who were getting darker and more oppressive, and in addition to smiling bitterly, he hurriedly went to the table and sat down, and then began to ask seriously about the origin of the situation in a serious and orderly manner.
If you don't hurry up and get to work, he probably won't have to go home tonight.
As soon as the news of Lord Yao interrogating in front of the palace gate in public spread, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince involved panicked immediately
