Chapter 189: The People Petition
After Wang Mang learned that the county government was surrounded by the people, he immediately followed Lu Yuan to the gate of the county office.
At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered at the gate of the county ya, and more than a dozen people were standing in the front row, and when they saw Wang Mang and others coming out, they hurriedly saluted and said, "The villain has seen all the masters." ”
Wang Mang raised his eyes and took a closer look, but he saw Sun Wuhan among the dozen or so people, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in his heart, What is this person doing here?
Lu Yuan was dressed in a fine dress of Xinyang Order, his expression was solemn, and he said, "Fathers, I don't know what you are doing here?"
Sun Wuhan said with a little twist on his face: "Lord Lu, the small dozen or so people are nearby Lizheng, and they were elected by the people to see the adults as representatives, and the people behind the small ones are all representatives of each household, because the small ones happen to have something to do with today's events, so they were elected as the general representatives." ”
After Sun Gohan finished speaking, the people around him all nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Lu, Sun Gohan is our representative." ”
"Then what are you doing?" Lu Yuan said.
"Lord Lu, we want the truth!"
"We want the truth about the case of the Du family's extermination!"
"We ask the government to thoroughly investigate this matter, and we must not let go of the wicked people who killed Du Hong's family!"
"That's right, Lord Lu, our people in Xinyang have been simple since ancient times, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but such a bad thing happened today, which is enough to be recorded in the history of Xinyang, and the people of Xinyang are full of righteous indignation, hoping that Lord Lu can handle this case impartially!"
Lu Yuan spoke, and everyone opened their mouths to express their opinions, Sun Wuhan was a little helpless, he just said that he was waiting for more than a dozen representatives, but before they could speak, the people behind them were in a commotion.
It seemed that seeing the embarrassment of Sun Wuhan and the others, Lu Yuan's eyes were cold, and the official behind him immediately shouted: "Silence!"
In the end, the authority of the government has a great deterrent effect on the people, and with the shouts of the officials, the people's drumming noise is much smaller, Lu Yuan pointed at Sun Wuhan and said: "Sun Lizheng, you are not their representative, you tell the official, what is going on?"
"Lord Lu, the news of Du Hong's destruction has now spread all over Xinyang City, and everyone is very angry about it, after all, I believe that such a bad incident has not happened for hundreds of years, and several respected villagers in Xinyang fell ill with anger after learning about this. Sun Gohan said angrily: "As a Xinyang person, I, and a large number of Xinyang people, don't want to see this kind of moral degradation happen, so the villains have come to petition the adults!"
"Petition?" Lu Yuan frowned.
"Yes, my lord, the villains hope that the government can find out about this matter as soon as possible and announce the truth, Xinyang is by no means a place to tolerate and nurture traitors, and the simple people of Xinyang must not let such a villain go unpunished!" Sun Gohan said, knelt down directly and said: "Lord Lu, please be the master of Du Hong's family!"
"Ask Lord Lu to be the master of Du Hong's family!"
"Ask Lord Qingtian to be the master of Du Hong's family!"
"Ask the court to be the master of Du Hong's family!"
After Sun Wu's meal, the people were kowtowing one after another, and the voices of petitions came and went.
Looking at all this in front of him, Wang Mang was quite touched, and glanced at Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "Fathers and elders, please get up, even if you don't come here to petition today, this official will investigate this matter thoroughly, and the court will also thoroughly investigate this matter." ”
As he spoke, Lu Yuan pointed to Wang Mang beside him and said: "This Lord Wang beside this official comes from the six doors of the imperial court, and the six doors are the yamen of the imperial court that is specially responsible for criminal investigation, and Lord Wang has explained to this official that the six doors will fully cooperate with Xinyang to investigate and deal with the case of Du Hong's extermination of the door, in addition, Lord Wang has written Chang'an, and there will be angels coming soon, please rest assured, fathers and elders!"
"Lord Xie!"
"Lord Xie and Lord Lu, thank the court, thank your majesty!"
"Long live the Imperial Court! Long live Your Majesty!"
The people shouted one after another, and for a while, a large number of people gathered around them, and when they saw that it was the people who petitioned for a thorough investigation of the Du family's destruction, they followed and shouted.
Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zifan rode horses, standing in the distance, looking at the scene at the gate of the county government, their faces gloomy and about to drip water.
Their original plan was to come to the county government to deal with Zhao Si's affairs straightforwardly, but as a result, the county government had not yet entered, and Lu Yuan had not seen it, so they saw the scene in front of them.
Zhao Ming, Li Xiaobai and other four major families in Xinyang are also in charge, at this moment one by one looks panicked, they have been relying on the prestige of the four major families to play prestige in Xinyang, often think that in Xinyang they and others have reached the invincible realm, even if Lu Yuan sees himself and others have to give three points of face, but now ...... The four principals were scared.
And Zhao Zhiheng and the others were even more angry, Zhao Zifan had always been unable to hide his temperament, and hit Zhao Ming in the face with a whip, Zhao Zifan pointed to the people kneeling down at the gate of the county government and said: "You bastards, what did you do in Xinyang, you actually let the people of Xinyang hate me and wait for Ruosi!"
Zhao Ming and the others were at a loss, they were really confused!
Even now, Zhao Ming and the others still don't know what happened, the world in their intuition has changed in the past few days, and the world that they and others understand suddenly changes unpredictably, and they and others don't know each other at all.
Seeing that Zhao Ming and the others were stunned, Zhao Zifan was even more angry, stretched out his hand and gave a horsewhip, Zhao Zhiheng stopped Zhao Zifan and continued to wave the horsewhip, and said, "Third child, let's go back first!"
Zhao Zifan glared at Zhao Ming and the others fiercely, shook his hand, and left first, the scene in front of him, the more Zhao Zifan looked at it, the more angry he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to hit someone!
The figure of Zhao Zhiheng and his entourage did not intend to hide it from people at all, the movement was so big, Wang Mang and the others couldn't think about it, and sent away the people who petitioned, and Wang Mang and the others quickly learned what happened on the street.
Hearing Zhao Zifan whip Zhao Ming whip after whip, Wang Mang's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "What a bitter plan!"
"Such an obvious bitter plan, it seems that although the third son of the Zhao family has a flexible brain, he is not particularly bright. Lu Yuan also laughed.
Lu Yao couldn't get used to seeing Wang Mang and Lu Yuan often say things that she didn't understand, so he sneered at this moment and said: "What are you proud of, in this area, except for Zhao Shixiu, the head of the Zhao family, who doesn't know that Zhao Sangongzi is a big straw bag!"
"You said Zhao Zifan is a big straw bag?" Wang Mang couldn't help but look at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "That's right, everyone knows that the Zhao family has four sons, the eldest son has the deepest city and the most scheming, but it is also the most disliked by Zhao Shixiu, the second son has a gloomy complexion, scheming, and often gives advice to Zhao Shixiu, the third son has an impulsive personality, and is the most stupid, but people are born well, his mother often blows the pillow wind in Zhao Shixiu's ears, so he is the most favored by Zhao Shixiu, as for the fourth son, you have seen it, on the surface, there is a beautiful son, and the world gives him the nickname of the smiling tiger. ”
"Where did you hear this? Wang Mang smiled and said, "It sounds the same as the real thing." ”
"How can you know all the methods of this son!" Lu Yao smiled and glanced at Wang Mang.
