In Jiankang City, a man in his early thirties shouted outside the palace for days, and the soldiers defending the city rushed and beat him, but the other party still went to the city gate every day to mumble, making a lot of noise.

The generals guarding Miyagi had no choice but to report to the Criminal Department and put the man in prison.

After another month, a few more men came to make trouble, and they were friends with the man, and asked the official family to release them.

This matter gradually reached Chen Xian's ears, and the waiter of the Criminal Department replied, "Your Majesty, he is a concubine from a poor family, because he was not elected to the official, so he makes trouble outside the palace every day!" It's also outrageous! and his two accomplices, who also made trouble together, have now been arrested! Locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about such a trivial matter!"

Chen Xian listened and asked the waiter of the Criminal Department, "What is that person's name?" What is the origin? "

The waiter of the Criminal Department replied: "This person claims to be Meng Xiang, a person from Jingzhao Mansion, whose ancestor once served as the secretary of the Waitai Order, and was later demoted to an official because of being a traitor. This Meng Xiang relied on his own talent, so he was arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, and he dared to despise the official family outside the palace, which was really bold! Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never spare this man and his accomplices!"

"Those who dare to come to the palace to shout outside the palace may not be mediocre, listening to you say this, the widow wants to see what kind of talent this person has, and dares to roar outside the palace gate" Chen Xian was quite interested in this Meng Xiang in the mouth of the servant of the criminal department.

And the waiter of the criminal department arrested Meng Xiang and was not polite to him, and he also gave him two sets of eighteen torture tools, and now this person has been beaten out of shape, and there is only one breath left! I'm worried that the emperor will feel uncomfortable when he sees it.

Then he replied: "Your Majesty, this person is just a mountain village man, Your Majesty's precious body, I am afraid that it will defile your dragon eyes!"

Chen Xian knew that those people in the Criminal Department were very spicy, thinking that since he was the king of a country, he naturally had to take care of his people, no matter whether this Meng Xiang was wronged or deserved, he should understand the truth and then deal with it.

Besides, I heard that this Meng Xiang dared to speak disrespectfully to himself at the feet of the Son of Heaven in public, and he was indeed a little bold.

I couldn't help but be a little curious about this Meng Xiang.

The waiter of the Ministry of Punishment brought Meng Xiang into the palace, and he wanted to ask for an understanding.

"If he is really a vulgar person, the widow will naturally add a degree to his crime, if not, the widow wants to see what grievances and grievances he has!"

"Obey the order!"

The servant of the Criminal Department had no choice but to obey the order, and then went back to escort Meng Xiang into the palace.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, bursts of crying and shouting were terrifying.

In a dark, damp cell, a ragged, whipped skin, lay on the ground and wailed softly.

The two men in the next room said to the man with concern: "Brother Meng Xiang, you must hold on!" This group of dog officials will not end well, and even the emperor is also a disciple of the Shi clan! We people from humble backgrounds will not have a way out in this life, but why should you be like this, and you want to lose your life? "

The person named Meng Xiang sneered, "The world's scholars should be treated fairly, there should be no distinction between the scholar clan and the Shu clan, the so-called nine-grade Zhongzheng system set by the previous dynasty is very unreasonable, why can those children from the gate valve be easily selected as high-ranking officials and have Houlu?" People like us, who have no money and no power, are destined to be subservient? I don't even admit it! Even if you cut me with a thousand knives, I have to express the dissatisfaction in my heart! Heaven and earth can be learned, Your Majesty is such a wise emperor, you shouldn't be so confused!"

"Hey! Brother Meng, now that I can't protect myself, it's useless to talk about it, but since the two of us have been able to meet a hero like Brother Meng Xiang, we will also die without regrets!" A man named Zhang Zhan said.

"Yes! Twenty years later, we will be a good man again, and we can be companions on the Huangquan Road!" Another one named Tang Wen said.

Meng Xiang looked at the two of them and said, "Brother Zhang! Brother Meng! I'm the one who is causing you trouble!"

"It's all this time, since we can't enjoy happiness together in this life, let's share hardships together!" Zhang Zhan said.

A few people were talking.

The squire of the Criminal Department came to Meng Xiang's cell with a few jailers and said to one of the jailers, "Open the cell!" Give him a change of clean clothes!"

"Yes! My lord!"

The jailer opened the cell and threw the clean prison uniform in his hand in front of Meng Xiang, "Put it on!"

"What are you going to do?! We don't sin unto death, but you will be punished for doing so!" Tang Wen said one after another.

"What are you yelling about! Don't forget that you're prisoners now! Give him a change of clean clothes, that's because His Majesty wants to see him!" The criminal servant said with his hands on his waist.

Meng Xiang listened to the words of the squire of the Criminal Department, struggled to get up, and asked weakly, "Your Majesty...... Does Your Majesty really want to see me? "

"That's right! Your Majesty wants to see you, but I want to remind you that when you see Your Majesty in a while, don't say anything rebellious, admit your mistakes, and maybe there is a glimmer of life!" The waiter of the Criminal Department said to Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang picked up the clothes on the ground with one hand, and couldn't help laughing and said, "God help me!"

Then he endured the pain and quickly changed into clean clothes, and said to the waiter of the criminal department: "Take me to see Your Majesty!"

"Brother Meng, be careful!" Zhang and Tang told Meng Xiang.

The squire and the jailer of the Criminal Department took Meng Xiang all the way to the Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty! The criminal Meng Xiang has been brought to!" The squire of the criminal department replied to the emperor.

Chen Xian sat on the dragon chair, reviewing the folds, looked up at Meng Xiang, and saw that he was in his early thirties, as if he was forty years old, with dark skin and a burly figure.

"Sinners! Why don't you hurry up to see Your Majesty?!What are you doing in a daze? The waiter of the Criminal Department said angrily to Meng Xiang.

"I'm not a sinner! I'm not guilty!" Meng Xiang retorted to the waiter of the Criminal Department.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Xian and said, "Grass people Meng Xiang kowtow to see Your Majesty!"

"Get up! Why have you been roaring outside Miyagi for days, cursing the widow?!" Chen Xian asked sharply.

Meng Xiang said: "Back to Your Majesty!" Enlightened since the age of twelve, the grass people study hard, and they just want to win a reputation and serve the court! But it has been operated by those dog officials again and again, and we poor families have no chance of coming out at all! Even if the family borrows more silver taels, you can only be a 'turbid official' with no future! Your Majesty, you have always served the country and the people, but you only recruited the brother of a wealthy family lord to become an official in the court, and you are really a king in vain!"

"Shut up! How daring! To insult Your Majesty here! I think you're getting impatient! Your Majesty, this person is crazy and arrogant, let's let the minister take him back and teach him a good lesson!" The waiter of the criminal department said.

Chen Xian looked at Meng Xiang, who was full of guts, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand to the waiter of the Criminal Department, signaling for him to go down.

Then he walked up to Meng Xiang and said, "Do you know that just by what you just said, a widow can punish your nine clans?!Aren't you afraid?!"

Meng Xiang sneered, "Your Majesty is serious, don't hide it, there is only one grass farmer in the grass people's family!" No matter what His Majesty wants to do with the grass people, the grass people implore His Majesty to spare the two brothers of the grass people, Zhang Zhan and Tang Wen brothers who are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, they are all close friends of the grass people, they all have families, and please ask Your Majesty to be merciful!"

"Are they any different from you? If the widows let them go, they are afraid that more people will gather to avenge you! Isn't that the same as letting the tiger go back to the mountain?!" Chen Xian said to Meng Xiangyan.

Meng Xiang looked up at Chen Xian and said slowly: "Your Majesty killed our hearts, but you can't kill our thoughts!" In ancient times, there was a Shang martingale change, even if Your Majesty divided the corpses of the five horses, what could you do?!"

"You think you can be a martingale? Can you get justice for the Hanmen Shu clan? It's just too much to overpower!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty was also from a humble family! Your Majesty is so wise, you shouldn't be confused in this matter! Please give the poor children a way out!" Meng Xiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Presumptuous! How dare you talk about the origin of the widow? It's just a big rebellion!"

Chen Xian was so angry that he shook his sleeves and got up, and then said to Chun'an: "Chun'an, go and inform the people of the Criminal Department, and prepare to pull this Meng Xiang, who doesn't know the height of the sky, out of the five horses and divide the body!"

"Your Majesty!?" Chun'an looked at Meng Xiang who was lying on the ground in horror, and couldn't help but sweat for him.

"Why don't you go yet?!"

Chen Xian scolded and urged Chun'an.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
