Chapter 276: The Power of the People
The crime on this complaint is very peculiar, it is called a crime against human rights.
Shi Heng coughed and said: "Di Qing, since the promulgation of the "Tang Law" during the reign of Emperor Gaozu in my Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a crime, this official has been involved in the criminal laws of all dynasties, and I have not seen this crime against human rights, can you explain it?" ”
"Lord Shi, since ancient times, the law is to bind people, tell people what should be done, what should not be done, since Emperor Gaozu, I Tang Dynasty abolished the harsh punishment left over from the Great Chu and the pre-Qin Dynasty, and those appalling corporal punishments have only become whipping and boards, the corpses of the five horses are gone, the palace punishment is gone, the punishment of gouging out the eyes and cutting the tongue is gone, and even the heinous crime has become the main culprit and the accomplice is distributed. The purpose of education is to save people, not to behead and exile. ”
Shi Heng glanced at Di Qing appreciatively and said, "Go on, this official will listen to you." ”
Di Qing coughed and continued: "My lord, now that the prosperous era is coming, at the border pass, my Tang army will defeat the North Jin, level the Northern Liao, and destroy the Three Kingdoms of Lingnan; The new policy implemented by His Majesty has won the hearts of the people, so why can't we have a good life in such a peaceful and prosperous world? ”
As soon as Di Qing's words fell, there was applause from the onlookers.
Di Qing turned around to accept everyone's welcome, and Shi Heng snorted coldly: "Di Qing, you have said so much, but you haven't explained what this crime against human rights is?" ”
Di Qing replied with a smile: "My lord, the students have made it very clear that in this warm spring day, there are always some miscellaneous things to destroy this environment, and their actions are against the interests of all the people, so the students call this a crime against human rights." ”
Shi Heng nodded and said, "Okay, the official knows, and the official will deal with it fairly......"
Before Shi Heng finished speaking, Di Qing turned around and shouted hoarsely to the surging people: "Everyone, in this kind of good day, there are always one or two disgusting things happening, the Wu family, the richest man in Chang'an in the west of the city, in order to vent their anger, they turned a young girl into a wax person, you can think about it, if a croaking baby wants to grow up, how many tribulations it will have to go through, His Majesty now cherishes the people's power and prohibits the use of the Tang Dynasty as slaves, and what are their Wu families doing, they are taking people's lives in a hurry, Who in this room wants his daughter to be a burning candle? The Wu family in Chang'an is in vain a family of poetry, books and etiquette, such a family is simply not as good as a beast, I bah. ”
With Di Qing's mouthful of spit, everyone squirted at the west of the city in unison.
Li Jun did not completely block the Wu family, but did not allow the main personnel of the Wu family to go out, and those house slaves of the Wu family could still go out to find out the news.
Wu Xiang is in the mourning hall, looking at the wax man in front of him, the wax man is very exquisitely made, Yan Zhu is kneeling on the ground, and there is a lamp twist in his mouth, every time Wu Xiang sees this slut, he will think of his little grandson, and his heart is very sad.
At this moment, Wu Shan hurriedly ran in and said, "Father, it's not good, someone went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue us." ”
Wu Xiang said coldly: "It's okay, if you only rely on this, Your Majesty won't be able to move to our Wu family." ”
As soon as Wu Xiang's words fell, several officials came to the door of the mourning hall, and the officials led by him stepped forward and looked left and right, and the wax man pursed his lips and said, "It's a pity, old man Wu, you can do it with such a beautiful girl." ”
Wu Shan said angrily: "Get out, who gave you the courage to enter our Wu family's ancestral hall?" ”
The head of the official was not angry, shook his head and said, "Old man Wu, there is no way, this is Lord Shiheng's order." ”
"Come on, get these bastards out and tell Shi Heng that I don't need him to take care of my Wu family's affairs." Wu Shan shouted outside.
But no one came in for a long time, and the head of the official plucked out his ears and said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, those subordinates of your family were caught and fled, and there is no one left." ”
After saying that, ignoring the two people, the head of the official picked up the wax man and left without looking back.
After the officials and others left, a young man from the Wu family who was hiding behind the ancestral hall came to Wu Xiang and knelt on the ground and said: "Ancestor, I know that person, that person's name is Wang Zhen, who also studied in the military academy before, and later heard that he entered the Jinyi Guard. ”
Wu Xiang suddenly fell to the ground when he heard this, and muttered: "It's over, the Wu family is resting, boss, hurry up and send Xiao Yun'er and a few people to the secret room, as for you, I will wait for Your Majesty to send it." ”
The Wu family was in a mess......
Shi Heng didn't know what step Di Qing was going to take, and when he was hesitating whether to suppress the matter, he saw several big men coming in with a naked woman on their backs.
Wang Zhen put the corpse in the center of the hall and roared, "Everyone can see clearly, this person is the poor courtesan." Wang Zhen took the fire fold and lit the lamp twist in the wax man's mouth, and it was lit at one point.
Qingpi roared angrily, regardless of the injuries on his body, he threw Wang Zhen aside, and Qingpi pulled out the lamp twist in Yanzhu's mouth, the lamp twist was very long, and when it was all pulled out, it also brought out a piece of intestines.
Qingpi hugged the corpse and cried, and the people of Chang'an at the gate of the county government all burst into tears.
I don't know how long it took, Qingpi's big cry also turned into a whimper, like the beast's dying argument, Di Qing came to Qingpi and took off his robe and draped it on Yan Zhu's body, and then patted Qingpi's shoulder and said, "Good man, if Yan Zhu knew that there was still your brother, he would not die." ”
Qingpi suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Shi Heng and said, "Lord Qingtian, please allow the little one to take revenge." ”
Shi Heng roared angrily and said: "If the people have disputes, they can come to the government to appeal, if everyone can take revenge by themselves, what else do the government want to do......
Before Shi Heng finished speaking, he saw the people outside roaring: "Revenge, revenge, revenge." "The second pole of the Guanzhong people has a temper, they don't care about this, and Qingpi was surrounded by everyone and went to Wu's house.
Shi Heng was dumbfounded, looked at Di Qing and Wang Zhen and said angrily: "Look at the good things you have done, something will happen like this." ”
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "My lord, please rest assured, there are our brothers from Jinyiwei around the Wu Mansion, and the situation will be controlled." ”
Shi Heng snorted coldly, ignored Wang Zhen and Di Qing, and went straight to the Wu Mansion with the officials and bad people.
Di Qing was very worried and asked Wang Zhen, "Old Wang, is this really okay?" ”
Wang Zhen pursed his lips and said: "That's fine, let those big families see it, this is the power of the people." ”
Wang Zhen walked to Yan Zhu's side and closed his eyes for Yan Zhu and said: "Yan Zhu, you are much stronger than a demon concubine like Bao Xi, they can fool the emperor at most, when they die, only the emperor is sad for them, and your death has caused the sadness of the people of Chang'an City, and the people of the whole city have sought justice for you, you are a hero." ”
The mighty people rushed straight to the Wu family, Wu Xiang hanged himself, Wu Shan was beaten to death by the people, and the rest of the Wu family was scared to death, and some were killed, and the women and children of the Wu family were driven into a room by several big men and burned alive.
When Shi Heng came, the entire Wu family had been completely engulfed in flames, and several Jinyi guards were reporting the news to Wang Zhen, and now the main descendants of the Wu family, except for the two young Wu family disciples who did not find their bodies, the bodies of the rest of the people have been found, and the people of Jinyi Wei estimate that the two young children hid in the secret room, but such a fire, even if they hid in the secret room, they would be suffocated to death.
Seeing that the official messenger was coming, the people scattered in a hurry, Shi Heng ordered with red eyes: "Search the whole city, and if you find anyone who steals property from the Wu family, you will be jailed immediately." ”
"No." The bad guys and Jing Zhaoyin's servants also left quickly.
Wang Zhen came to Qingpi and found that this guy was eating human flesh, Qingpi said with a smile: "This is Wu Xiang's old horseman's chest meat, which is particularly delicious." ”
Wang Zhenqiang held back his nausea and said: "Okay, don't eat it, you still have a sister to take care of, see that you kid is ruthless enough, how about coming to my Jinyiwei?" ”
"Thank you, sir."
What happened in the Wu family, Li Jun took the ministers to see it clearly in front of the Xuanwu Gate, Li Jun sighed and said to the pale ministers: "Do you see it?" This is the power of the people. ”
