Chapter 332: The People's Sentiment Is Turbulent

"Wronged!"

Even if I don't know if shouting at this time is effective, but in the case of people being swordsmen and fish and meat, even if Qi Yuanwai is hard-headed, he can only use dead horses as live horse doctors. Even if this Changlu County Yali is said to have been severely purged yesterday, and many officials and even errand servants below Xu Cheng have been locked up from Changlu County, there may still be fish that have slipped through the net.

Even the previous Zhu Tingfang's selection of Master Sun's book is just a tall man among the short among a bunch of rotten officials, which does not mean that people are clean. Therefore, he simply shouted as if he was ruthless: "My family has accumulated virtue and done good, and everyone in Cangzhou City knows it, but General Zhu and Dr. Zhang have listened to the traitor's words and put the blame on me and others, I don't accept it!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the expected soldiers and horses of the Rui Cavalry Battalion did not rush up and take him down, and he still had a chance to speak, he almost didn't think about it, so he raised his hand and pointed to the little peanut standing behind Zhu Tingfang, raised his voice and said: "General Zhu, you dare to say, isn't the kid behind you who has been following the thief leader Xian Yunhe?" Can you keep such a little traitor by your side, but you can't trust us and other gentry? ”

"If we follow the example of General Zhu and Dr. Zhang, the traitors will be spared, but we who have radically changed the good people are a dead end! That thing is simply strange, a group of traitors, can also claim to be good citizens? What's more, all of you who are staying in the Yali of Changlu County safely now, haven't you radically changed the good people? Do you think that when Xu Xianzun was here, he didn't send you to play the pressure? ”

"Aren't you the ones who beat those spinners to the brink of blood? Aren't you the ones who poured dung in front of those people's doors and wrote the word Diao Min? But so what? Those Diao people don't know what to do and don't obey control, but we have never stolen or robbed, and every penny has come justly. As for Dr. Zhang, the accusations you have just accused us of are simply unexcused crimes! ”

"What about human witnesses? What about physical evidence? ”

The fierce defense outside the Qi Yuan...... Or under the counterattack, the other old men who had just made plans to take off the two layers of skin also woke up immediately. Since Jiang Dashao, who took the initiative to admit guilt and accept punishment, obviously could not escape the disaster of imprisonment, and even lived or died in the hands of others, they might as well put on an iron-clad appearance.

At least when the chaos has subsided, whether it is Zhu Tingfang or Zhang Shou, they dare not kill them to show the public!

Although the Zhu family is deeply trusted by the emperor, they also have many enemies among the courtiers, and they have been attacked countless times before. They don't believe that those political enemies of the Zhu family in the DPRK and China have not closely watched the changes in the situation in Cangzhou and will not seize this opportunity!

Listening to this high-pitched question, Zhang Shou turned his head sideways and saw the little peanut with a flustered face, but there was a lot of commotion in the errand guards who were standing not far away, and he suddenly stroked his palm lightly when he brought the little peanut, and said with admiration on his face: "Yes, yes, the danger of life and death can really make people burst out to the greatest potential, I can't help but feel resentful when I hear it, let alone others?" ”

"The imperial historians of the court and the central government should learn more from Qi Lao, so that when they quarrel in the court, they are aggrieved because of poor words, and finally have to quit gloomily!"

Qi Yuanwai didn't expect Zhang Shou to say this suddenly, and glanced at the others left and right, he had to suppress the unspeakable uneasiness in his heart, and argued loudly: "What I said is the truth. There are many reasons for this civil unrest in Cangzhou, if there is no such thing as us, those traitors may also riot...... "In the final analysis, what does it matter to me?"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a huge commotion outside, as if many people had gathered outside the county office. He had experienced a Mo Damin Change, and he felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but swallow back the words that came to his mouth. And those who had been "selected" before couldn't help but look at each other, and everyone's face was full of fear.

Zhu Tingfang was too big, and the hundred soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion who had followed the eldest prince were sent by him to guard the houses of the six families in front of him, and the two hundred people who had just arrived in Cangzhou were sent to the palace to "guard" the eldest prince, as well as dozens of traitors led by Xian Yunhe, plus those prisoners arrested today.

Even his capable entourage was taken out by the second son and eldest lady of the Zhu family, and now there are probably only a dozen people in the county office.

If there is another civil uprising outside...... With this amount of manpower at the moment, how can you cope with it? Of course they are not clean, they will not be thrown out by the two in front of them to calm the people's anger, right?

At first, the noise and noise outside were chaotic, as if it was still a little inaudible, but as the sound gradually unified, someone like Zhu Tingfang, who had excellent ears, gradually distinguished the words that kept repeating. Soon, not only him, but even Zhang Shou, Xiao Peanut, Qi Yuanwai and others, and even those errand servants, all heard clearly.

"Please make the decision for the people of Cangzhou!"

The faces of the outsiders changed, and the faces of those servants also changed. But what made them even more distracted was that Zhu Tingfang actually smiled, then stood up and flicked the corner of his clothes and said: "This is really fresh, could it be that there is something in Cangzhou City that makes the people angry to besiege the county government?" Since you're in the right place, come with me and Dr. Zhang. ”

Speaking of this, he didn't give anyone else a chance to refuse, and shouted: "Come on! ”

In an instant, Zhang Shou saw a column of big men with a line of big men rushing out, holding knives and standing solemnly, even if there were only a dozen people, there was still a breath of vertical and horizontal eyes. As Zhu Tingfang nodded, Qi Yuanwai and the others were easily set up one by one without the slightest ability to resist, and immediately after, there were also seven people standing in front of those officers.

Although the knife was not unsheathed and the people did not make a move, under the watchful eyes of the seven people, several messengers couldn't help but tremble, and finally under the gaze of the overwhelming sense, they obediently followed Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou who were striding forward, and even did not dare to deliberately delay because there were people following behind.

It wasn't until they saw that they were about to arrive at the gate of the county government that the shouting voice gradually became clearer, and although there were many people, it should be dozens or hundreds of people in the sky, not hundreds or thousands, that they were a little relieved.

As long as there are not many people, as long as there are not another bunch of chaotic people trying to occupy the county government...... Who would have thought that a group of lowly people who they could bully casually on weekdays would come to the door again and again, and they all ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!

"Listen to the people outside the door, if there are grievances, grievances, etc., then they all retreat three steps before opening the door, and wait for the general to come out and then pay attention to it, if the door is opened, there are still idlers three steps in front of the door, and they will be punished for colliding with the officials!"

With Zhu Tingfang's order, the originally closed gate of the county government was slowly opened. At this moment, except for Zhang Shou and Zhu Tingfang, who had a little bit in their hearts, the rest of them couldn't help but lift their hearts. Of course, Zhu Tingfang has already spoken first, but God knows if those people outside will be carried away by anger and rush in when the time comes?

Especially Qi Yuanwai and the others, who were escorted and had to be at the forefront, saw a pair of angry eyes as the two doors slowly opened, and felt the anger like substance, and their hearts even raised their throats.

"Please General Mingwei to call the shots for the people of Cangzhou!" In the crowd, a loud man shouted, and then he came out of the crowd, strode forward, pointed at Qi Yuanwai's nose and scolded angrily, "It is this old man who occupies the widow, takes people's land, and even sends his children to the so-called good hall to raise, and the good hall steward forced them to work day and night, tired to death of the seven-year-old son!" ”

Qi Yuanwai shook his heart when he boarded, and when he was about to speak, someone shouted: "I once worked in that good hall, and if the children resisted, they would be hung with ropes and beaten with wooden sticks, and if they escaped, they would be tortured, and when they died, they would tie up stones and throw their bodies into the stinky pond behind them!" Because I said a few more words, I was kicked out of the good hall, and I was threatened, so I could only live on the street! ”

After this person, another person shouted loudly: "These big dog families colluded with the dog official Xu Cheng to replace the good rice in the granary, and then replace it with moldy and rotten old rice and put it in the warehouse!" Every time I give up porridge, I use those moldy old rice to fool people, and I don't eat a few poor people to death in a year! ”

"The Huang family is immortal, and there are a lot of young women who still possess the marriage contract...... His good son of Longyang, I don't know how many sons of good people have taken possession! ”

Qi Yuanwai never knew that the so-called public anger would one day completely erupt in such a form. Although there were only a few dozen people outside the county yamen at this moment, the shouting one after another revealed all the crimes that they were accustomed to and didn't care about in the past. In the midst of such insults and accusations, he could only barely calm his mind and try to plead a case.

"It's ridiculous, just because these three people become tigers, and everyone has money, can they also put charges on us at will?"

However, compared to him, the rest of the old men had long been disturbed by this messy sound and atmosphere, but they couldn't even say such a quibble. Seeing that he could only support independently, Qi Yuanwai was angry and hateful, thinking that Zhang Shou had put the youngest Jiang Dashao in prison before, he felt that the other party was scheming.

He mustered up the last bit of strength and shouted: "Blame us and other gentry for the crimes accused by a group of chaotic people, Dr. Zhang, you, a doctor who has read the books of sages and sages, ask yourself, are you not relying on selfishness?" ”

At this moment, the crowd that had just been noisy suddenly fell silent. Qi Yuanwai was thinking that his angry rebuke had finally shocked the group of Diao people in front of him, and at the same time asked Zhang Shou speechless, but suddenly heard an old but calm voice.

"Scholars, gentlemen, learn to be in the position, use wisdom and work, govern the place when you are outstanding, ensure the safety of one party, and educate the inside and outside at home, and ensure the peace of the family. Just use your reputation to sell your reputation, but in fact, you are full of evil, and you are also worthy of being a scholar? ”

With this voice, an old man with more than half of his temples turned white, but still in good spirits, appeared in front of everyone. I saw him dressed in linen clothes and flat cloth belts, at first glance, he seemed to be just an ordinary old man in the market, but at first glance, he gasped outside this person. And not only him, but the rest of the old men who had just been scolded in a hurry and angry were also dumbfounded.

It was Xu Weng, an old man who had tried and failed, but he was deeply respected in Cangzhou City. Because he is profoundly knowledgeable, and he opened a school in Cangzhou to give lectures to people, and he treats the noble and the poor equally, so he is very famous, even if they have children and nephews in the family as officials, they will often be polite to this person. How could a bunch of lowly people invite this respected old Confucian here?

The frightened and angry Qi Yuanwai finally shouted: "Mr. Xu, don't be blinded by these chaotic people......

"Although I am old, I am still deaf and clear-sighted, and I am not so easily deceived by others! Today I saw with my own eyes the bones of three bodies recovered from the pool, one of which had not even melted its flesh and skin, and apparently had not been thrown down for a short time, and I saw with my own eyes that, according to the size of his skull, each of them was definitely not more than ten years old...... It's outrageous and miserable! ”

"It is said that the old and the old, the young and the young, although I have heard the rumors of your good hall, but I never thought that there would be such a tragedy in the world! I know that if something happens to you, you will push it on the steward, on the little guy, anyway, you will be clean and innocent, as if you have done nothing......"

"But if you didn't do anything, how could the people in Cangzhou be boiling with resentment, how could the strange thing that happened before, how could so many people come to surround the county government in the middle of the night and ask the minister to uphold justice!"

The older Xu Weng became, the more excited he became, the more excited he became, the louder he became, and when the last roar came out, he trembled with anger and was unstable under his feet, and suddenly stumbled, and the whole person suddenly tilted to the side. At this moment, a pair of hands stretched out from the side and supported him steadily. And he turned his head slightly in embarrassment, and then coughed.

"The officials and gentry colluded, colluded, deceived the superiors and subordinates, and abused the people...... God really gave you a human skin for nothing! ”

Zhang Shou had already seen it clearly, and it was none other than Zhu Ying, who was dressed in men's clothes, who helped this old Mr. Xu. Her face still looked gorgeous even under the light of torches at this time. Seeing that the eldest lady was smiling and glancing at him, he couldn't help but smile back when she made such a big fuss tonight.

And Zhu Tingfang, who was watching them from the side, was in a really complicated mood. If he couldn't see that this was the same as the situation of those villains and ruffians brought by Zhu Ying before, he would be blind! Everyone in the capital thinks that his sister is a straw bag who likes gorgeous clothes and ornaments to swagger through the market...... Now look at the things she did, it was like punching the master to death!

He withdrew his gaze on Zhu Ying, and bowed slightly at Xu Weng: "So, Mr. Xu came over today as a witness?" ”

"Not bad!" Xu Weng nodded emphatically and said word by word, "I Cangzhou is a treasure of heaven and a great person, how can I be ruined by these wolf-hearted things!" I implore Lord Qincha to punish these dogs and rats who harm the people, and return me to Cangzhou! ”

Hearing this, Qi Yuanwai, who had been in a state of overexertion at the beginning, tilted his head and fainted directly. When he fell, the rest of the old men who had been looking at him were gone. After you saw my eyes, as the first person fell down and pretended to be unconscious, the others hurriedly followed suit, deceiving themselves not to listen to the higher and higher shouts.
