Chapter 214: It's my order
Wang Mang's eyes clearly conveyed a message to Li Lan and the others, if things are not done well, he will really kill people!
Li Lan and the three of them glanced at each other, and finally understood that now that the three of them had been put on fire, what to do when the matter came, they already knew what to do.
Standing up again, Li Lan and the three of them already had a murderous aura on their bodies.
Zhang Jian and the others followed closely and rushed to the scene, seeing the scene in front of them, they still didn't understand what was happening, and when they kowtowed: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Are you going to oppose me?" Wang Mang looked at Zhang Jian and the others coldly.
Zhang Jian and the others looked panicked and didn't dare to speak, Wang Mang glared at Li Lan and the others again, and the three hurriedly called his subordinates to directly surround the soldiers.
The soldiers paid no attention to the soldiers and officials who surrounded them, and even two or three bold soldiers gave two slaps to the soldiers surrounding them, only telling them to get out.
Most of the people present were Wang Qinian and Lin Guodong, the two looked at each other, and Wang Qinian shouted: "Stop it for the official, if you don't stop, the official will take people!"
Wang Qinian shouted three times in a row, but except for the disdainful laughter of the scholars, none of the scholars stopped.
"Give it to this officer!"
Wang Qinian peeked at Wang Mang, and finally waved his hand, and the soldiers under him immediately pounced like wolves, especially the two soldiers who had just been beaten, and they were even more ruthless.
Although most of the soldiers are not weak, but in the end, they are all people who have never been on the battlefield and have never fought, how can they be the opponents of a group of professional soldiers, there were dozens of impulsive soldiers at that time, so that the soldiers fell directly to the ground.
"Damn, you stinky soldiers, you dare to beat us, what about your commander? Tell him to come out, we have to reason with him?"
"You wait, you're dead, we'll hit the clock right away, see Your Majesty!"
"Do you dare to do it, if you don't give you some color, I think you are simply lawless, brothers, let's go together!"
"Kill these stinky soldiers!"
"I really thought that with their two and three-legged cat kung fu, they could compare with us, we are the most elite people in the Great Qin Kingdom!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, these people definitely don't dare to attack us for no reason, someone must have given them an order, and the person who gave the order is a traitorous minister, let's clear the king's side!"
"Yes, Qingjun side!"
Wang Mang stood not far away, listening to the shouts of the scholars, looking at Zhang Jian and the others with a cold face, and finally pointed at Zhao Xin and said, "This is the scholar taught by your Ministry of Rites for so many years?"
Zhao Xin was in a cold sweat, his face was pale, and he was also frightened by the scholars shouting "Qingjun side", and he didn't dare to answer.
Seeing that Zhao Xin didn't speak, Wang Yongji rushed out, jumped out and pointed at Shizi and scolded: "A group of stupid fools who read and read, they actually dare to scold the stinky soldiers, you must know that if there are no such stinky soldiers, I don't know where they have the confidence to sit at home and study and practice martial arts with peace of mind, it's ridiculous!"
Zhang Jian couldn't let Wang Yongji continue to say this, and said: "Your Majesty, these scholars are also impulsive, according to Weichen, it is better to punish them with a small punishment and a big commandment......"
Yes!
Before Zhang Jian could speak, he heard a scream from the crowd, but a soldier didn't know how to pull out a knife and cut the soldiers around him with one sword.
Originally, when Wang Qinian asked people to do it, he also explained that he could beat people, but he couldn't kill people, so although the soldiers and servants surrounded and killed them, they all knocked people down and tied them up, even if they used weapons, they all smashed people with the back of a knife, never killed anyone, and never seriously injured people.
But now, the soldiers killed a soldier, and with this scream, the red blood directly made the crowd clamour.
"If you do the first year of junior high school, you are not afraid to be fifteen, students, let's take action together and let these bastards know how good we are!"
"That's right, I'm afraid they won't make it!"
"The law doesn't blame the public, let's go together, I'm afraid of a bird!"
"What law does not blame the public, we are self-defense, it is this group of lawless people who first attacked us, we are self-defense and counterattack!"
"Yes, it's self-defense!"
Under the deliberate rhythm of some people with ulterior motives, and under the leadership of some soldiers who didn't know where to find their weapons, they took the lead.
And the soldiers and officials also played a real fire, seeing that Wang Qinian and others were about to be unable to suppress it.
Wang Mang looked at Zhang Jian coldly, pointed at the scholar and said, "You let me punish the big commandment?" Can you tell me how much benefit you Zhang Jian has received from others, and here you are calling for me to punish the big commandment?"
Zhang Jian's face turned white, and he didn't dare to speak at all.
Wang Mang said loudly: "Wang Qinian, Lin Guodong, Li Lan, do you three just watch your subordinates being bullied?"
Wang Qinian's eyes were red, his face flashed with anger, and he directly threw the weapon in his hand into the soldiers, and killed a soldier with one sword, and then said loudly: "Draw out your war knives and tell these lawless bastards that our Soldiers and Horses Division is not a pension institution!"
Kill!
The soldiers shouted loudly, drew their sabers, and slashed down in front of them.
Wang Qinian brought 300 soldiers, all of them drew their knives at this moment, and when they went down, more than 100 heads flew directly into the sky.
In an instant, everything is silent!
The originally boiling and noisy scholars directly lost their voices, and they all looked at the more than 100 scholars who fell in front of them with a dull face, a second ago, they were all alive, and now they are all dead!
Even Wang Qinian himself was taken aback, he originally just wanted to scare and scare people, but he never thought that the soldiers would be so obedient, and cut off the heads of hundreds of people at once, if it weren't for the soldiers gathering together, Wang Qinian even felt that these soldiers under him could cut off 300 heads.
But looking at the red eyes of the soldiers, looking at the soldiers who were carried out of the crowd by them, and let the soldiers kill at the beginning, Wang Qinian understood.
In the silence, the leaders of the scholars in the north and south, Li Hui of Nanyang City, and Chen Shi, a native of Chang'an, walked out of the crowd in silence, first knelt on the ground, kowtowed to more than 100 headless scholars, and then stood up, pointed at Wang Qinian, and said angrily: "Who are you?
Wang Qinian sneered, didn't speak, and silently raised his hand again, and Li Hui and Chen Shi's faces changed.
"Lord Wang, do it slowly!" Zhao Xin ran over with an arrow step, rushed to Wang Qinian's side and said, "Lord Wang, the riot has been stopped, why don't you wait for Your Majesty's order!"
Wang Qinian didn't answer, but Li Hui and Chen Shi shouted as if they had found the bitter master: "But Lord Zhao Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Zhao wants to make the decision for us and punish these lawless murderers!"
"Can you say a few words!" Zhao Xin glared at the scholars fiercely.
Li Hui but Chen Shi did not relent: "Lord Zhao, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you are our pillar, we have suffering, if you don't help us, then what do we want you to do? These damn bastards, they actually drew their knives at us unarmed soldiers, waved their butcher knives, and there is no royal law, is there justice!"
"You ......" Zhao Xinqi couldn't say anything.
"Lord Zhao, we don't know who this lord who raised the butcher's knife to slaughter our scholars is, but he actually made the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites so afraid, watching us being killed, and not speaking, today, if Lord Zhao can't give us an explanation, then we have to ask Your Majesty for an explanation!"
"That's right, we want to see Your Majesty, we want to say the law!"
"More than a hundred scholars can't die in vain, this damn executioner must be crushed to the noon gate and beheaded!"
"We want to clear the king's side!"
"We're going to hit the clock!"
A group of scholars followed Li Hui and Chen Shi to make noise, Zhao Xin looked at all this in front of him, and almost fainted, the matter has reached this point, it is already difficult to end, if he really lets these people continue to make such trouble, then what kind of face does he have as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites!
At this moment, Zhao Xin suddenly saw Wang Qinian suddenly turn around and kneel on the ground, followed by Wang Qinian, Lin Guodong, and Li Lan also knelt down, and even the soldiers, officials, and brocade guards they brought all knelt on the ground.
Zhao Xin looked up, but Wang Mang arrived, and he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
When a shout spread, a group of scholars who were originally confused by the court officials suddenly knelt down to understand that the emperor had arrived, and some of the nimble ones trotted forward and knelt on the ground.
Wang Mang walked to Wang Qinian and the others with a cold face, looked at all this in front of him, squinted his eyes and said, "Who shouted to Qingjun's side just now?"
All the scholars were silent, and Li Hui and Chen Shi looked a little flustered and said: "Your Majesty, I am Li Hui (Chen Shi), and the scholars just want to talk to Your Majesty about their grievances, and they have no other meaning." ”
"Is it?" Wang Mang pointed to the more than 100 scholars who fell in a pool of blood and said, "Looking at this situation, it seems that your grievances are not trivial?"
"Your Majesty, I was about to say to you that these soldiers are simply lawless, and they actually waved a butcher's knife at our scholars, completely ignoring the ancestral etiquette, not taking Your Majesty in their eyes, not taking the court in their eyes, and simply treating our scholars as grass mustard, enemies, please Your Majesty make decisions for us and punish this gang of lawbreakers!" Li Hui said.
"That's right, Your Majesty, although Li Hui and I don't deal with each other, but on behalf of the northern scholars, I ask Your Majesty to make the decision for us, punish these lawbreakers, and give justice to the scholars!" Chen Shi followed and spoke.
"Please make your own decision for us, punish these lawbreakers, and give justice to the scholars!" the scholars shouted loudly after the two of them.
The officials around Wang Mang changed color, but Wang Mang looked at all this in front of him with a faint expression, and suddenly said: "It's my order!"
Suddenly, there was silence all around, everyone looked at Wang Mang blankly, even Wang Qinian looked at Wang Mang incredulously, originally he thought that the emperor would push him out to calm the anger of the scholars, but ...... Wang Qinian thought about it, but he didn't dare to think that the emperor would take responsibility himself.
As for the scholars, they were even more confused!
Looking at everyone, Wang Mang snorted and said again: "It's my order, how are you going to punish me?"
