Chapter 161 The life of the noble and the cheap mansion is injured, and the people cry and complain about the king's protection
Anding County, which had just settled down, was in chaos again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Ordinary people, if they don't have any sources, are panicked, afraid of going out and bumping into people they can't provoke, so they simply hide at home and don't dare to go out.
As for those who know something, those who have an enmity with the Wen family, those who have no enmity, acquaintances or old friends, they are all far away, and strive to watch the play while protecting themselves.
The weather was dark, and on the main street of Fucheng, the funeral procession in plain clothes and filial piety clothes was crying and walking, and the long queue directly filled a street. So that the timid people who are afraid of the coffin have nowhere to hide.
After inquiring, I learned that these people were all relatives of those people who had been killed by Wen Qi before. After a few days, the prince of the house failed to handle the case properly, and the big guy couldn't wait, so he made an appointment to go to the prince of the house to ask for an explanation and ask for justice.
Zhou Chen, who hadn't slept well all night, was dark under his eyes, and his face was stinky, and when he came out to see these people, he couldn't get angry if he wanted to. I had to say in a good voice: "Neighbors, mourn! I will definitely give you justice. ”
"I heard that His Majesty treats the Wen family very favorably. We are not literati, is our life as low as dirt? It doesn't matter how many you kill? "This is a middle-aged man, with a full beard, a high nose, and red eyes, and he is not an easy person to deal with.
Zhou Chen was not afraid, but said quietly: "Life, in the hearts of Your Majesty and me, there is no distinction between high and low, only the right and wrong of people or whether they are good or not. In this matter, the murderer is dead, and it will be atonement to you. ”
"No! How many innocent people did he kill us? He was the only one who resisted his life, and he said that his life was not valuable? I want his son to die for my son!" ”
Zhou Chen is not a person who can speak well. With just such a sentence, he felt that he had no distinction between words!
How do you get so crowded? What happens when a person is deceived by what he sees? It is like these people who have lost their loved ones, who do not care about the suppression of the king's orders and high-ranking officials, and must get an explanation. is forced to the point that it is difficult to save his life, will he still care about the rotten life in the eyes of others?
So those people tightly surrounded Zhou Chen and several of his personal guards. Because he was ordered by Zhou Chen not to hurt the innocent, he did not draw a knife to threaten the people.
Therefore, the people are even more unscrupulous, someone took advantage of the chaos to push Zhou Chen to the ground, unfortunately, Zhou Chen fell face down, there were steps on his forehead, and he fainted.
"Fujun! Daring! The prince of the house has been killed by you! One of the guards didn't care about Zhou Chen's instructions, pulled out his sword, blocked the people who were frightened by the accident, and said: "The prince of the palace has been working hard for many days for your affairs, and he can't take a break, and you still treat him like this, it's really heartless!" The guards were also smart, and they didn't threaten them with Sun Nian, but just sold a pitiful explanation that Zhou Chen was good, so that these people could feel guilty for the time being, so that they could take Zhou Chen out to find a doctor.
Sure enough, those people all stopped, silently retreated to the side, and let Zhou Chen leave. However, they didn't leave, and sent a few people to follow to see Zhou Chen's situation, and the rest stayed in the place where Fujun was doing errands, waiting for Zhou Chen to come back.
This could have ended here. However, Zhou Chen was unconscious.
This made Sun Nian very guilty and annoyed. It's not that he is disgusted with the people who come to ask for explanations, but he shouldn't treat his ministers like this.
Looking at Sun Nian's angry appearance, Jiang Wei asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the last general teach those Diao people a lesson?" ”
Diao Min? Why do you want to be a bad person? If the prince of the palace is capable, if he, the person who is the king, has the ability to get rid of the Wen family power as soon as possible and solve the problem of Wen Qi, these things will not happen at all, and then naturally there will be no brave people who strive to fight for an explanation for their dead relatives.
"As I said, where there are troubled people, it must be that the governors there are not good enough to force the people to take risks. All men are bloody. ”
"However, not everyone is not really a scoundrel, there must be a real person who volunteers to be a scoundrel." Jiang Wei said disapprovingly, "Those who overthrew the monarch of the mansion are the ones who overthrew them." ”
Sun Nian nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. But most of them are excusable. "It's really full of evil, I'm afraid that when I knew it, I would send someone to find evidence and kill it to make an example.
Not much to say, Sun Nian saw that Zhou Chen couldn't wake up for a while, so he had to accept his fate to take over the mess in Zhou Chen's hands and face those people. I am afraid that the purpose of sharpening Zhou Chen at this time will not be successful.
The people sat in the middle of the avenue and watched from afar as a pair of cavalry galloped towards them. Before they could get up, one of the evil gods immediately said coldly: "Your Majesty is here, why don't you hurry up and salute?" ”
Sun Nian deliberately suppressed their anger, so he didn't immediately dismount and let them be exempted, but just watched the people kneel and salute in a posture of sitting on the ground.
When they kowtowed, Sun Niancai said, "Get up." ”
Sure enough, most people are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. When the people saw His Majesty coming, their faces were cold and hard, and they still had so many evil spirits, they didn't dare to say more, lest they would cause trouble and lose their heads.
"What do you want to do. Send someone to explain it to the widow. ”
Among the people, pushing and shoving, it was finally the man with cheeks who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'll tell you." First of all, I have to ask Your Majesty for guilt. I am a sinner, and I have caused the king of the palace to faint with injuries and fainting. ”
"Keep that in mind." Sun Nian got off the horse, and Jiang Wei immediately stood beside him to protect him.
The man didn't dare to say anything else, but only made his intentions clear, "Because the Wen family killed several of our relatives, although the sinner is dead, we have to pay for the coins!" Because they are all adult men, the pillars of the family, they are gone, how can the family live? ”
"Who are you who are the dead?"
"I'm their village chief."
It turned out that the dead young people were all young men in their twenties, originally from a big village outside the city, and they made an appointment to sell things at the market together, but they were killed by the crazy Wen Qi. It's not wronged. However, the Wen family did not give any compensation. And how can those dead families swallow this breath? Therefore, at the suggestion of the cheeky man, he had the courage to seek justice from the king. In fact, there is a little bit of thought, I hope that the government or the Wen family can give those people a little compensation, otherwise, how will those people live?
Sun Nian listened to them quietly and said, "Originally, today was the time for the prince to give you justice. Even if he doesn't do well, the widow will still make up for you later. After Sun Nian finished speaking, he was overjoyed to see the man, and said, "Your family and you, the village head, go to the mansion with the widow." ”
The bearded man pondered for a while, agreed, and let the rest of the people stay behind, and took the family to follow Sun Nian into the mansion.
When he got inside, Sun Nian gave the coins he had prepared to the families, and then asked with a solemn face, "This is a little bit of the widow's heart." Don't be too grieved. It's the fault of the widow that he didn't protect you. Sun Nian's words made the person who lost his relatives cry again, but in his heart, he was very grateful to Sun Nian and revered a lot. After all, there are few kings who will read them and apologize to them!
Then Sun Nian continued to ask: "Before you came here, someone lobbied you to come here?" ”
The families didn't react much, but the village chief was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Your Majesty, I, I, I heard someone talk about it, saying that if the Wen family doesn't give compensation, the prince will also give it!" ”
"Oh? Who are they? ”
"Right outside in the crowd!"
"It's from your village? But is it a surname? Sun Nian got to the bottom of it.
The village chief nodded heavily, "Yes!" Yes! The village chief's heart was pounding, because he knew that he was being used! Or people from their own village. He said that when he came back from chopping wood that day, he met someone whispering under the trees! It turned out to be just a trap.
"Boyo, you send the village chief and these families out, and when the village chief indicates who it is, you will arrest them in."
"Promise!" Jiang Wei received the order and immediately led the people out.
After a while, he heard the noise outside, and Sun Nian suddenly felt bad when he heard it, "Don't have an accident!" Thinking so, he walked out with his feet lifted, but saw Jiang Wei striding in with a person in one hand.
