Chapter 124: Confidence
On the occasion of Lu Si'an's departure from Beijing, he made a false report to put the impeachment on the desk of the Son of Heaven, which provoked the anger of the Son of Heaven, and it spread all over the imperial city official hall in less than half a day, and there was a lot of discussion everywhere, and people were panicked, I don't know how many people were unlucky this time, and who would benefit from it.
The uproar this caused was expected by Lu Si'an, but he could not see it, and when his recital was opened by the emperor, Yushitai arrested him from his home and put him in Yushitai's prison.
Looking at Lu Si'an, who was brought into the hall for interrogation, Yu Shi, who was sitting in the hall, was a little annoyed.
Everyone is a court official, and they don't look up and look down every day, but Yushi is not much embarrassed, which is a very common thing for them.
It's just that today's Lu Si'an's look of holding his head up made him very uncomfortable.
Not to mention that this is the Yushitai where the officials have heard and changed, let's just say that Lu Si'an has never raised his head so tall every day.
has always followed Chen Shao and others to obey their words, only promises, play some clever, timid, and soft-boned, when can the four words of righteousness be reflected in him?
"Lu Zheng, you are guilty!" Yushi slapped the wood and shouted.
"Lu Zheng knows the sin of dividing words and deeds." Lu Si'an said indifferently.
"Avoid the important and light!" Yushi sneered, "You refuse to admit the crime of framing and slandering the court officials?" ”
Lu Si'an smiled.
"Am I framing slander? The adults really lifted me up, I don't think I have that ability, it's just to check the people's situation and report it. He raised his head and said, "If it is also a crime to investigate the people's feelings, Lu Zheng and I should confess my guilt." ”
Yushi sighed in his heart. But his face changed.
"Lu Zheng. Why do you think you do this? I know that you are reassured and resentful...", he said with a bit of inducement.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Si'an.
That's not true. I don't have any grievances in my heart, I just express my grievances for the people. He said righteously.
Yushi looked at him a little speechless.
"Lu Zheng, are you determined to kill yourself this time?" He asked.
Lu Si'an laughed.
"How can this be a dead end? It is the order of the courtiers to find out the people's situation for the Son of Heaven, so that the ministers cannot deceive the saints, and this is the way of the courtiers. He exclaimed.
Yushi shook his head and waved his hand to signal someone to take it away, anyway, he couldn't ask anything for the first time, although Yushitai couldn't torture the scholar. But there are other means, and a few days of grinding him can make him sober up.
Lu Si'an did not have the slightest fear, turned around and strode up, but saw Yushi Zhongcheng standing at the door, with a solemn expression.
"Lu Zheng." When he wanted to pass by, he was summoned by Yu Shizhong.
Lu Si'an looked at him calmly.
"Where did you get the confidence to think that Chen Shao could keep you this time?" Yu Shi Zhongcheng asked in a low voice.
Lu Si'an looked at him and laughed.
"I'm not a certain person." "It's the people of the world." ”
Is this kid crazy? It's probably because I was relegated to Nanzhou and felt that life was hopeless, so I went crazy.
Yu Shi Zhongcheng frowned and thought, but reason told him that things would never be as simple as this, and Lu Si'an was indeed sacrificing his life. But the confidence that made him sacrifice his life without waiting for Chen Shao to slowly save him in the future was the most crucial.
People of the world...
Is it really that big this time?
"Come on, go and check on the streets. How much exaggeration and how much truth is in Lu Zheng's picture. He beckoned a few of the servants and commanded.
At this time, Liu Jinquan, who was in charge of the right wing of the Beijing government, was also furious.
"What the hell is going on? How did Diao Min make such a big move, you don't even know at all! Are you all dead? He shouted, and since he got the news, he was scared into a cold sweat.
He heard about the events of that day afterwards, but he only said that there was a rich person to send a funeral, what a lot of money to spend, what a rich Taiping Immortal Residence or something, he didn't take it to heart, who would have thought that this matter would be used by Lu Si'an!
The subordinates standing in front of them all looked anxious.
No one expected that Lu Si'an, who was already dying, would dare to make such a move, in fact, it didn't matter to them who impeached the higher-level officials, the important thing was that the picture, the thing on the picture really happened, it happened in the capital, and it was from the west of the city to the east of the city, which happened to be under the control of their right wing.
Now that this matter has been stabbed in front of the Son of Heaven, the Emperor can't spare him, and the emperor can't spare him, in short, he was killed by Lu Si'an!
"My lord, it doesn't seem that Chen Xianggong arranged it this time." Someone said.
"They didn't arrange it, how did those people come out? How did so many people run out to see what funeral? Liu Gongshi shouted.
"It was said that the funeral party gave everyone wine and food."
"Yes, yes, very good wine, the best liquor in the world..."
"My little guy grabbed a bowl and woke up after two days of drunkenness!"
"Is it really that powerful?"
Seeing that the conversation in the room had changed, Liu Gongshi recovered from his astonishment and took a few cases again.
"Wine!" He sneered, "It's wine, it's just a cup of wine to eat, where did you come from to send the soul of the hero, Lu Si'an is really bullshit!" ”
Everyone thought about it carefully, and it really was.
"It's all the trouble caused by this wine!" Everyone nodded and said.
"That's easy." Liu Gongshi nodded and said, "Shenxian Ju Taipingju is not a store, I will be arrested and punished for selling wine with private brewing!" ”
He gritted his teeth in hatred.
This incident is just a gimmick of selling alcohol by unscrupulous merchants, and there is no public grievance!
That's right, it's as simple as that, press the matter qualitatively before it gets to other things, and see what else Lu Si'an is making trouble!
Liu Gongshi stroked his beautiful beard and was a little proud, this time he didn't need to bother with Lord Fu Yin and Master Gao Lingbo, he would be able to do things well, and he would definitely be able to win his praise.
"Why don't you go quickly, bring more people to seal down those stores!"
……………………………………
It has been five days since Xu Maoxiu and others entered the earth, and Fan Jianglin walked out of his house and came to Taipingju.
Shopkeeper Wu personally accompanied him and introduced the new shopkeeper here to him.
Looking at the guys along the way, they greeted warmly and respectfully. Look at Fan Jianglin's calm expression again. His wife, Huang, gradually relaxed.
"The host, your house has always been kept." Shopkeeper Wu said.
Huang looked at Fan Jianglin with some concern. When they come home these days, there are old things about their brothers everywhere, and they will inevitably be sad once when they say and read them again, but Fan Jianglin's expression is not the slightest sadness, but he is getting happier and happier, which is really abnormal.
"You don't have to worry."
Sitting down in the room, Fan Jianglin said with a smile.
"They are my brothers. I've lost them, but I'm not afraid, and I don't have to forget them. ”
The husband and wife were talking, and suddenly they heard a commotion outside.
"The owner, the owner." Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly came over and shouted, "The people from the government are here." ”
Feudal official?
Huang couldn't help but be a little nervous, but Fan Jianglin looked relaxed and smiled instead.
"Sure enough, what my sister said was never bad." He said, standing up, "You wait here." I'll take a look. ”
"Boss, why don't you invite them in." Shopkeeper Wu hesitated and said.
Fan Jianglin smiled and shook his head.
"We don't have anything we can't say in front of people." He said. Raised his feet and stepped out.
The Taiping Residence was full of people, and they all stopped eating and drinking at this time, and looked at the few officials standing in it, pointing and discussing.
"A few bad masters."
Fan Jianglin stepped out from behind and said.
"You're the owner here? Shut down the shop and come with us. The official said.
The surrounding noise fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked surprised.
"Closing the store?"
And in the immortal residence in the city, the maid listened to the words of the official in front of her and laughed a little.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because you moonshine." The official said.
The whispering in the hall suddenly became louder, and they gathered at the Immortal Residence today, basically because of the wine they had made a few days ago.
Although many of them did not drink it, this did not prevent them from imagining the deliciousness of the wine.
Only the main store, the official winery and the private winery that buys the wine in Beijing are eligible to brew and sell, otherwise it will be a felony, which everyone naturally knows, but in fact, this is only for the common people, those high-ranking officials and powerful people can make wine privately, and the government turns a blind eye.
To put it bluntly, the crime of moonshine is just a coaxing name, and there must be other reasons in it, either it did not give a certain official benefits, or it was coveted by someone behind his back.
Such a delicious wine is bound to bring a lot of business, and this is bound to attract coveting, although this is a very common thing, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The handmaid smiled.
"Poor master, you misunderstood, we don't have moonshine wine, let alone sell." She said, "Our wine was bought from the winery of Lao Si on the road outside the city, but it was slightly improved, and it was only used for funerals, and no money was charged. ”
Is that so? It turned out that I bought it at Lu Laosi Winery!
The eyes of everyone present were bright, and they were even more anxious to get up and leave, but they were pulled by their companions.
"You're stupid, people obviously said that it was improved, and you thought that the wine made by Lu Laosi was so good."
"Whether it's or not, in short, I have a source, so let's go and have a good time to satisfy my cravings."
The chatter of the guests here is getting louder and louder, and the faces of the officials are not good-looking.
"Naturally, there are witnesses." The leader said.
"That can't be." The maidservant shook her head and said categorically, "We don't sell it, and we have a witness." ”
She said as she looked at the people in the hall.
"Have you ever bought our wine?" She asked.
"Nope."
"Whoever can buy it, I will buy it from him, and the price will be high."
The hall was filled with the sound of answers, mixed with laughter.
Looking at the people in the hall, the officials were a little uneasy and a little annoyed.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, close the store and follow us." They shouted.
The handmaid looked at them and smiled coldly.
"Official, you have to give a reason, right?" She said.
"Reason, reason, you use alcohol as a gimmick to gather people to make trouble." One of the officials had an idea and said, "Spread rumors." Incitement the populace! ”
The maidservant looked at him stunned. He immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth and giggled. The more they laughed, the harder they became, and the hall where they only laughed quieted down, and the smiling officials felt furious.
"What are you laughing at?" The servant shouted in annoyance.
"I thank you." The maidservant looked at him and said suddenly.
Thank you?
The servant was stunned for a moment, and before he could come back to his senses, he saw the girl in front of him laughing, his expression sank, and he took a step forward.
"We scatter wine, and the people come. Why are we gathering people to make trouble? She shouted, pointing out, "So so many people gathered outside at this time because you came to us to ask about things, so are you also calling the crowd to make trouble?" ”
The officials subconsciously turned around, and saw that at some point the door was already full of people watching the excitement, and more people were pouring over to crowd the street.
A few people suddenly changed color, why have they been talking for so long?
"If you have anything to say to the yamen, come with us...", the official at the head shouted, and he stretched out his hand to shake off the iron chain.
He hadn't stepped forward yet. The handmaiden stepped forward again and stood in front of him.
"You want to arrest me? Want to close our shop? We bury the owner's scattered wine road sacrifice, is it a gathering of people to make trouble? Our host is dead. Are we spreading rumors? Our owner is dead, let's talk about a pompous burial, this is called inciting the people? She said, "Bad master, which one is a rumor?" Is it because our host didn't die, or didn't our boss die in battle? ”
The little girl was young, and she spoke quickly and crisply, and she only said that a few officials were dizzy, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, a little dazed.
What are they talking about now?
"Less nonsense....", the leader raised his voice to cover the little girl's voice.
But the maidservant only gave him a chance to say these three words, and immediately took over.
"Nonsense? What I'm talking about is nonsense? We don't ask for merit, can't we even say how the owner died? Is it a rumor? The maidservant shouted sharply, reaching out and grabbing the placket of her clothes, tears glistening in her eyes, "What the hell is this?" Why are you coming to arrest us and seal our shop? We don't want anything, we don't ask for anything, what? Can't even be buried in the bright light? Our hosts were killed in battle, and they were upright, and because we didn't bury them like thieves, are we guilty? Well, if it's a sin, then catch it! Catch! ”
The officials retreated again and again, hitting the door frame and stopped, looking at the people in front of them in disbelief.
What's going on? How do you say that? They didn't say anything!
They turned their heads and looked at the crowd outside the door, the crowd had stopped the noise and looked at them with indignant expressions, and then looked inside, and the people in the hall also stood up.
On the other side, Fan Jianglin watched as the servant who stepped forward reached out and took out a bow and arrow.
Several officials immediately took a few steps back like ghosts, and raised the waist knife in their hands.
Although it has been a long time, although there are not seven men in front of him but one man, the five splashes who broke into the door in front of this Taiping Ju were shot dead on the spot, and the fact that Taiping Ju has a Vajra Protector is still circulating in the Yamen.
"Fan Jianglin, what do you want to do? Resisting arrest and killing? They shouted.
Fan Jianglin looked at them and smiled, and threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground.
"I can't kill anyone now, I can't pull a bow now, I can't shoot arrows, even if I really want to kill, I can only use a crossbow." He shook his head as he reached out and tore his robe violently, revealing his naked upper body.
The people in the hall were caught off guard, and the women screamed and hid their faces.
"I can't kill anyone now, and I won't kill you, my brother died in the hands of the West Thief, I got away with my life, I still keep it to kill the West Thief, how can I aim the arrow at you, at you who are protecting my brothers to death." Fan Jianglin said slowly, laughing loudly and spreading his arms, "Come on, arrest it, I listen to you, if you say I'm guilty, I'll be guilty, arrest it." ”
The officials were stunned, and the people in the hall were also stunned, looking at the shirtless man in front of them, looking at the criss-crossing scars on the body were shocking, so many such terrible wounds can only be had by people who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, every scar is real, there is no falsehood.
"Catch..."
"Grab your mother's head!" Suddenly, someone in the hall burst out and shouted, and at the same time a plate smashed over, "There is your mother's sin!" ”
This shout was like water poured into the oil, making the oil pan suddenly fry and tumble.
