Wei Cheng said with a cold face: "What the official said very clearly, the person just now was not Wan Delin. ”

"I ...... I recognize him as Wandlin. A thin man in gray whispered with his hands curled up in his sleeves. After him, several people echoed, identifying the person who had been hanging from the tower as Wan Delin.

Just as Wei Cheng was thinking about how to deal with it, a sign was thrown at his feet, "Please explain the words on the sign, Lord Wei." ”

Wei Cheng glanced at it and said indifferently: "Why does this official have to explain something that is unnecessary?" ”

"Do you not want to explain, or Lord Wei can't explain at all?" Before the words fell, there was a commotion in the crowd, it turned out that Master Li had finally found the person hiding in the crowd, a young man of about twenty, who was grabbed by the servants tightly by his arms at this moment, unable to move.

"Put him in jail!" Master Li shouted at the messenger.

The young man struggled hard, "I didn't commit a crime, why did you arrest me?" ”

Master Li snorted coldly: "Instigating trouble, gathering crowds to disturb the yamen, and dare to say that there is no crime, take it down!" ”

"I just want to know why Wandlin didn't die, what's wrong? When you are like this, it is clear that you have a ghost in your heart. After a pause, he suddenly laughed, "I know, just like what is written on that sign, stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, using innocent people to die instead of Wandelin, you are so despicable!" In the eyes of those of you who are officials, what is the royal law? What is human life? Is it powerful and powerful, even if you commit a great crime, you don't have to die? On the contrary, we, the small people who are promoted to fight, don't know when we will be arrested and condemned or even killed? ”

Seeing that Wei Cheng's face was getting more and more ugly, Master Li hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing one by one?" Don't pull it down yet! ”

As soon as the messenger dragged the young man a few steps, he was blocked by several civilians, and said nervously: "He has not committed any crimes, and you have no reason to put him in prison." ”

Master Li snorted coldly, "Just because he slandered the imperial court officials, it is enough to be locked up in prison for a lifetime!" ”

A sturdy man in Xuanyi walked up and arched his hand: "Since you say that he slandered the officials of the imperial court, then please tell us why Wan Delin, who was beheaded yesterday, is still alive?" ”

"The official said, he is not Wan Delin, you are wrong!" As soon as Wei Cheng's words fell, the man in Xuanyi said categorically: "The villain asked himself if he had grown to the age of more than thirty years old, and he was not to the point of being dazzled and deaf, the person on the city tower was Wan Delin, absolutely right!" ”

As soon as he said this, there was a response from the crowd, at first it was only three or three, but then there were more and more, and the emotions of the crowd became more and more excited, and they kept shouting for them to let the young man go, no matter how much Master Li screamed and scolded, he couldn't suppress it. He looked at Wei Cheng in a cold sweat, "My lord, this ...... What can I do? ”

Wei Cheng was also a little timid, he couldn't imagine that the people who were very obedient on weekdays would have such a tough side. Seeing that people were constantly coming around, lest the matter get bigger and bigger, he scolded loudly: "Everyone retreats immediately, if they don't retreat, they will all be arrested and put in prison!" ”

The noisy crowd was drunk by him, and immediately quieted down. Just when they thought they would retreat like this, the man in Xuanyi stepped forward again and said, "Your Excellency would rather order the arrest than explain, it seems that our guess is correct." It's just that my lord, the fact that Wan Delin is not dead is spread throughout Kaifeng City, are you going to arrest all the people in Kaifeng City? Can the prison in Jingzhao Mansion be closed? ”

Wei Cheng was speechless by his question, and shouted angrily: "Diao Min, a group of Diao Min!" ”

"The villain only wants to know the truth, and only wants to know if there is a royal law at the feet of the Son of Heaven! The word Diao Min, forgive the villains for not being able to bear it. "The man in Xuanyi is neither humble nor arrogant, which is irrefutable.

Wei Cheng's face was red and white for a while, he has been an official for so many years, and he has dealt with a lot of things, but none of them are as tricky as now, do you really want to arrest these people?

Just when Wei Cheng was in a dilemma, a familiar voice came into his ears, "Yo, Lord Wei is so lively here, what are you doing?" ”

Wei Cheng saw the person coming clearly, and hurriedly walked over and bowed, "See King Mu!" ”

"Okay, you know I'm not interested in these false courtesies!" Gongliang Yanqing said, pointing to the crowd and quipping: "Lord Wei, is this going to send rice or silver?" Attract so many people. ”

Wei Cheng said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, don't make fun of the lower officials, the lower officials are about to die." ”

Gongliang Yanqing glanced at him, "It looks like something happened, let's hear about it?" ”

Wei Cheng whispered close to his ear for a while, and Gongliang Yanqing's expression changed sharply, "Is this true?" ”

"How dare Xia Guan joke about this kind of thing, he is in the mansion at this time, Xia Guan originally planned to take him to see His Majesty, but he didn't know that there were so many people making trouble, and he couldn't persuade him to leave, and he couldn't catch it, so I really don't know what to do."

Gongliang Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you let this king persuade them?" ”

Wei Cheng couldn't wait for him to do this, and nodded hurriedly, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Gongliang Yanqing walked over, and did not immediately speak to persuade him, but motioned to the messenger to let go of the young man, and said gently: "Is there an injury?" ”

The young man was a little flattered and said, "No, it's not hurt, it's just that the arm is a little painful from being scratched by them." ”

"It's okay!" Gongliang Yanqing patted him on the shoulder, walked up the bluestone steps, and said in a condensed voice: "Everyone, this king understands your feelings about wanting to know the truth, but this matter was not judged by Lord Wei, nor was it beheaded by him, and this matter happened suddenly, and he was also confused. It's better to listen to this king, you go back first, and when this matter is clarified, you will definitely give you an explanation. ”

The young man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that as soon as we go back, Wan Delin will be dropped again." One by one, you have colluded with each other to take the lives of the people seriously, and your words cannot be trusted. ”

Gongliang Yanqing, who was still kind and pleasant just now, heard this, his face suddenly turned cold, he walked to the young man's side, and said coldly: "You are the first person to say this about this king, should this king praise you for your courage or ...... Stupid? ”

The young man wanted to speak, but was pulled by the man in Xuanyi, "King Mu will really give us an explanation?" ”

Before Gongliang Yanqing could speak, the young man had already said urgently: "Brother Yan, don't believe him, these people don't have a word of truth in their mouths." ”

"I don't know what about others, but King Mu definitely won't. You've only been here for a short time, and you'll find out later. After appeasing the young man, the man in Xuanyi looked at Gongliang Yanqing and said, "Please be sure to give us a satisfactory answer!" ”

Gongliang Yanqing said solemnly: "Okay, this king hereby promises to you, and will give you a satisfactory answer within three days!" ”

"Good!" The man in Xuanyi also replied heavily, and said to the crowd behind him: "Since King Mu has spoken, we will sell King Mu a face, and come back in three days!" ”
