With the blessing of Xu Tian's aura of the living ancestor, the voices that originally questioned Zeng Laohan disappeared all at once, and in their place, everyone firmly believed that Zeng Laohan's family was brutalized by the five princes, and they had to break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

Otherwise, how could Xu Qingtian, who asked for his life for the people, stand up.

There must have been a great injustice.

This is the influence of word-of-mouth and good name.

"Yes, Xu Qingtian is a living Yazu who can bet with His Majesty to the death for the sake of the people, and he has stood up, which shows that this matter is indeed strange."

"It turns out that the five princes have really done such a thing that is inferior to beasts!"

"The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!"

"We must punish you severely!"

"Xu Qingtian is alive and Yazu is alive, and with him, he will definitely not let the evil thief of the Five Princes get away with it!"

"I just hope that Xu Qingtian will never be in danger."

"Xu Qingtian has put himself in a desperate situation more than once for the sake of the people."

"Such a good official who is the master of the people must not have anything to do!"

In the crowd, the white-faced scholar said again: "After the news of the matter was revealed, in order to prevent the five princes from killing people and destroying their mouths, Xu Qingtian hid Zeng Laohan's family in Shangshu Mansion in advance, and later let the five princes rummage through the entire Hangchuan, but they couldn't find them, in order to bring them to Beijing to complain today." ”

"I see!"

Everyone was amazed.

"Later, the killers of the five princes did not find anyone, and they burned down the house of Zeng Laohan's family."

As soon as the white-faced scholar said this, the audience was in an uproar.

"What, the fifth prince actually buys murder?"

"Is there any humanity left?"

"How can it be!"

"Thanks to Xu Qingtian, everything is like a god! The Zeng family was saved! ”

"Xu Qingtian is benevolent and righteous!"

"The Five Princes must be allowed to subdue the law!"

"Let the five princes subdue the law!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted.

In an instant, everyone shouted in unison.

"Let the five princes subdue the law!"

"Let the five princes subdue the law!"

……

Everyone raised their fists, the momentum was like a rainbow, attracting more and more people to gather at the door of the upper division, and after hearing the content of the matter, everyone was indignant and joined the ranks of avenging the grievances of Zeng Laohan's family.

"Who beats the drum outside the door, and who makes noise outside the door?"

Si Zun, who was still straightening the black gauze hat, hurriedly came out of the back hall, his brows furrowed.

There was so much movement outside the door that he had heard it in the back hall.

"Go back to your lordship, outside...... It seems that it is a matter of suing the five princes and the strong women of the people to kill people and set fires......"

The master said with a solemn face, "The people of the capital gathered at the door, saying that they wanted the five princes to subdue the law, this, this is the first time such a thing has happened." ”

"What?"

Qiu Pingzhang's face changed, this kind of thing, not to mention the first time the master met it, even if he became this superior master, he had never seen it before.

It's a first.

It was even the first time since the founding of the Dalan Dynasty.

First, the prince broke the law.

Second, the masses denounced the prince.

How could you encounter such a tricky thing in your own office......

Shouldn't this matter have subsided, how can it get worse, even to this point?

"Quick, go and inform the emperor!"

Qiu Pingzhang knew that the big thing was not good, no matter what, he had to let the emperor know about it as soon as possible, and he would not dare to make a decision.

Then, taking a deep breath, he tried to straighten his chest, and said:

"Mr. Liu, let's go out and have a look."

……

After causing a mutiny among the masses, the white-faced scholar quietly withdrew from the scene at some point, holding a folding fan of mountains and rivers, walking alone on the street that seemed a little empty because the crowd gathered to the top of the company, leisurely and leisurely.

"Xu Shuishui, that's right, just a few words, let the people stand on your side?"

Lu Su, who was also dressed as a man, walked out of the alley and affectionately held Xu Xiangxiang, who was dressed as a scholar.

"It's as if I deliberately provoked trouble."

Xu Xiangxiang glanced at her and said, "I'm just telling the people the truth of the matter." ”

"In your brother's words...... The public's right to know? ”

Lu Suyan said with a smile.

Let the five princes subjugate the law, in a short period of time, this sentence has become the consensus in the hearts of the people in the capital.

"Who's beating the drum outside the door!"

The vermilion door of the upper division finally opened slowly, and the master Liu Zhi stepped out with a few officials.

"My lord! Grass Folk ...... Zeng Er! ”

In the face of the official lord in the capital, Zeng Laohan instinctively had a little stage fright, but when he thought of his son who had died and his humiliated daughter-in-law, he still turned his heart sideways and plucked up the courage to use Xu Tian's words to teach him, "The grass people are from Qiaotou Village, Hangchuan County, and they make a living from fishing, and they are here to tell Your Majesty their grievances and ask Your Majesty to seek justice for my dead child!" ”

The master didn't answer, just because he saw Xu Tian standing at the bottom of the steps in an official uniform, and his heart was suddenly awe-struck, and he stepped forward quickly and bowed and asked, "Dare to ask who this adult is?" ”

"This officer, Xu Tian, the secretary of the military department."

Xu Tian replied with his head held high, full of official authority.

"It turned out to be Lord Shangshu! The lower officials meet Lord Shangshu! ”

The master and the official next to him immediately knelt down.

Obediently, the secretary of the military department, but he is a grade higher than their boss.

For them, this is a real big shot.

"No courtesy."

Xu Tian motioned for them to get up.

"Dare to ask Lord Shangshu what instructions he has for coming?"

The people were already in an uproar, how could Liu Zhi not know the intention of this old man, but he still asked pretentiously.

"That old man has a grievance,"

"If you have any grievances, just come one by one! We will do justice for you! ”

Liu Zhi asked knowingly again.

"Adults, grass people......"

Zeng Laohan looked at Xu Tian, and saw that the latter nodded at him, and his heart was reassured, with Xu Qingtian here, he just spoke freely, and immediately explained the matter in a not very smooth language.

"That's it, the fifth prince threatened the lives of my daughter-in-law and youngest daughter to force me to retract my confession."

Zeng Laohan said, "But the grass people don't want my child Zeng to die without turning a blind eye, so he found Lord Xu, the secretary of the military department, to administer justice for me." ”

"Oh, I see." Liu Zhi nodded when he heard this, glanced at Xu Tian, who was slowly walking up the steps, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

Although this Lord Shangshu is young and promising, he is really young and frivolous, young and ignorant......

Why do you think you're wading through the muddy waters?

The son of a fisherman's family is dead and dead, can he offend the five princes for this?

As a courtier, can't you be open to the children of the lord?

"Master, according to the usual process, there are people beating drums and complaining, so please ask Lord Sizun to open the hall, right?"

Xu Tian asked expressionlessly, with a calm attitude, as if he was just passing by to watch a play.

Liu Zhi bowed and said, "Lord Shangshu is reasonable. ”
