Chapter 209: Murder in public
Those words were like a drop of clear water smashed into a boiling oil pot, and in an instant, fierce public opinion splashed like oil sparks, surging endlessly.
On the other hand, Sun Jing, as the sesame-sized acceptance officer of the Criminal Department, naturally does not need to go to court on time every day, plus he participated in the Puting case some time ago, and now he is even more proud.
Therefore, when there is no case to go out, it is very leisurely.
Winter was coming, and the temperature had dropped suddenly, and he was now staying in his official position and drowsy.
In a haze, he seemed to hear the sound of the grievance drum, and he was so frightened that he woke up instantly and almost fell off his chair.
Listening to it again, the sound of the grievance drum became louder and louder.
"Who's beating the drum of grievances?!" Sun Jing was dripping with cold sweat, and immediately stood up and looked out.
"Lord Hui, it's a general." The criminal soldier was also frightened, and replied in a daze.
Sun Jing was a little impatient, and asked again without thinking: "Which general?" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was no need for the criminal soldier to answer, and Sun Jing reacted by himself.
In the court, there is only one general!
A thunderbolt struck, Sun Jing only felt extremely uncomfortable, subconsciously took two steps back, and asked in disbelief: "It can't be the general of the Jun family, right?" ”
The criminal soldier looked like he was about to cry, and buried his head lower: "It's General Jun." ”
"Hiss-" After receiving an accurate answer, Sun Jing gasped, stared at his eyes and hurriedly beckoned out: "Hurry up, everyone in the reception department is ready to go!" ”
After a while, Sun Jing gathered all the people who could be dispatched from the Criminal Department and headed towards the direction of the grievance platform.
Along the way, Sun Jing rode a fast horse, but he hated that he couldn't go any faster.
That general is the living king of Hades on the battlefield, he lies in the mansion quietly on weekdays, and no one can invite him, and he is the most non-existent general in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Sun Jing never thought that if people didn't move, they wouldn't move, and if they moved slightly, it would be shocking, and there was such a big movement, and the whole Upper Kyoto was shocked.
He only hoped that the general's grievances would be smaller, otherwise he was afraid that the court would be overturned.
Thinking of this, Sun Jing was ruthless, raised the whip in his hand, and then fell fiercely.
With a 'snap', the fast horse was in pain, and with a high roar, the speed was two points faster.
Rao came all the way, and when he finally came to the stage of redressing grievances, the place was already crowded and impenetrable.
Coming to the front row with difficulty, the drums in my ears did not stop, but became more and more intensive.
Seeing this, Sun Jing's hairs stood on end.
It was clear that it was snowing heavily now, but he was like a furnace, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
Sun Jing called upwards in a loud voice: "General, the lower official is here, and I hope the general has something to say." ”
Hearing the noise below, Jun Chen glanced down, but he was very indifferent, only a few traces of blood appeared in his eyes.
The drums stopped.
Jun Chen lowered his eyes and said calmly: "You can't be the master of this matter." ”
When the words fell, the drum beat again, no matter how Sun Jing shouted, Junchen didn't react at all.
A pair of arms seemed to be tireless, beating the drum again and again, and each time it seemed to exhaust all the strength of the whole body.
The people around him asked anxiously, "My lord, what should I do?" ”
Sun Jing rolled his eyes, equally impatient: "How does this official know what to do, can you still pull the general down?" ”
Let's not mention that the wooden ladder leading to the grievance platform is narrow and cramped, let's just say that the general has a strong martial arts, if he goes up and forcibly pulls him, wouldn't it be a kick and an accurate?
And it's so high that if you kick it down from such a high place, the person who gets kicked will have to die for half a life, if not dead.
In such a scene now, he will definitely not be able to suppress the situation as a sesame petty official, and for today's plan, I am afraid that it will only be useful to invite Ye Quan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department who is recuperating from his injuries.
Thinking of this, Sun Jing raised his hand and beckoned a person, and instructed in his ear: "You should go to the Ye Mansion as soon as possible to ask Lord Shangshu to see him, and ask him what I should do." ”
The man hesitated: "Lord Ke Shangshu is injured......
"If we delay any longer, the anger of the people will not be suppressed!" Sun Jing hurriedly said, "Don't go yet!" ”
Sure enough, the commotion around them grew louder and louder, as if they were going to eat them.
Hearing this, the man was full of excitement, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and after squeezing out of the crowd, he got on his horse and went straight to Ye Mansion.
There were more and more onlookers, and seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Sun Jing overstepped the level and reported to the Praetorian Guards, and finally the Criminal Department and the Praetorian Guards jointly barely controlled the situation, and cleared the vicinity of the grievance platform, which finally had a short period of silence.
The restaurant closest to the grievance platform was full, and some people even set up a stove near the grievance platform, as if in this way, the temperature could be transmitted.
Yu Lao has long occupied the best position, not only can not be protected from the wind and snow, but also can have an unobstructed view of Junchen's situation.
He sipped a little wine, looked at Junchen, and listened to the hottest gossip at the moment.
"I don't think this matter will be over, and I don't know how long it will take for the Criminal Department to send someone who can call the shots."
"Yes, I heard that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department angered Shengyan and was scolded by the rod and is still recuperating at home."
The noise in his ears became more and more chaotic, and Yu Lao's brows became more and more wrinkled.
Junchen is a general, this is something that everyone knows.
He said that Sun Jing can't be the master, that is, he can't be the master, of course, he has to change someone who can be the master.
Now that the news has spread, I just don't know whether the enemy arrived first or the reinforcements arrived first.
Yu Lao sighed.
At this moment, he saw a burst of cold light suddenly appear in the dark alley next to him.
If you look closely, it turned out to be a dart, hurrying towards Junchen's front door.
Almost at the same time, Yu Lao immediately threw the teacup in his hand, and met the dart in mid-air, and the two fell separately, and the teacup shattered.
After that, Yu Lao didn't plan to let go of the people in the dark, so he brushed it off the table casually, and the rest of the tea sets flew to the dark alley.
'Bang' and 'bang' a few times, one by one dodged.
Yu Lao secretly sighed a pity.
"Who dares to hurt someone with a secret arrow!?"
The forbidden army Wu Wei shouted loudly and immediately ordered people to investigate everywhere.
It was only at this time that the people below finally noticed that something was wrong, and scattered in panic, and even the people who had been watching the excitement also retreated.
After hearing the shouting, Sun Jing was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Zuo Wuwei and asked, "What happened?" ”
Zuo Wuwei's expression was solemn, he had already picked up the darts that had fallen on the ground and put them in his hands to check them, and said without raising his head: "Someone wants to kill the general." ”
After inspection, Zuo Wuwei concluded: "The darts are poisonous. ”
At this time, the general was beating the drum to redress his grievances, and it was the time when there was no defense, and if this was a sneak attack, it was very likely to succeed.
In broad daylight, under his nose, the thief is simply presumptuous!
Zuo Wuwei's eyes sank, and his evil aura overflowed instantly.
Hearing this, Sun Jing was frightened, for fear that the general would suffer under his nose, so he was busy stationing people around, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Seeing that he was on guard, his nerves tensed, and Zuo Wuwei said again: "Lord Sun doesn't have to worry too much, although some people want to be unfavorable to the general, there are also people who are secretly protecting the general." ”
As he spoke, Zuo Wuwei's gaze fell on the teacup that had been broken into several pieces.
He saw very clearly that this teacup flew out of the teahouse, just in time to repel the darts, proving that there were people from the Junfu in the teahouse.
"I can't help but worry."
Even though he knew this, Sun Jing pursed his lips, but he still didn't dare to relax.
The entire Great Jin Dynasty can't find a second brave and warlike Junchen, if the general has an accident in front of him, he can't wait for the people to drown himself in a mouthful of spit, he can't wait to blame himself.
Seeing that he insisted, Zuo Wuwei didn't say anything, but just made the people under his subordinates more vigilant on patrol.
Soon, the janissaries who went out to investigate came back and shook their heads at Zuo Wuwei helplessly: "No abnormalities were found. ”
Zuo Wuwei took a deep breath and only said, "Continue to patrol!" ”
By the window on the second floor of the tea shop, through the snow curtain, Yu Lao took everything in his eyes, and then shook his head silently.
Of course, he knew that it was impossible for the Praetorian Guards to detect the anomaly, and those people had already fled without a trace when he was chasing them with the cup as a secret weapon.
Until this time, Yu Lao finally understood the reason why the prince of the East Palace must let him stay by Jun Chen's side, he thought that Qi Changrong had exaggerated the crisis of the Jun family, but now it seems that it is even worse than what Qi Changrong said.
If he hadn't been there just now, it's hard to say what the situation would have been.
The masked Bato led his men all the way to the moat leading to the outside of the city, and when his men saw blood flowing from his fingertips, they exclaimed, "You are injured!" ”
"No problem." Barto pulled off the cloth to wrap the wound, and looked gloomy: "I was just accidentally injured by the porcelain piece." ”
Originally, he was only close to succeeding, he smeared poison on the arrow, but who knew that there would be an accident on the way, I don't know who was secretly protecting Junchen, so that his traces were revealed, and he was almost controlled by others!
If one sneak attack fails, there will be no second chance.
It was precisely because he understood this truth that he did not hesitate to retreat with his people.
The man in black asked worriedly, "Lord Barto, what should we do now?" ”
Bato held his breath and said in a deep voice: "What else can I do, I can only wait for the adults to come out of the palace before making a decision." ”
After finishing speaking, he said: "You find a safe place to hide, and report the news at any time." ”
The man in black no longer hesitated and scattered.
Barto looked in the direction of the palace from afar, as if a large stone was pressing down on his heart, making him almost breathless.
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that he had just been in the court not long ago, and Ye Quan was seriously injured at home, without the protection of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Sun Jing would definitely not dare to let the people of the Criminal Department break into the Jinluan Palace like last time.
In this way, this matter can drag on for a few more hours.
……
The snow-covered Ye Mansion in front of the door ushered in an uninvited guest, who was the subordinate who was sent by Sun Jing to ask for reinforcements before.
Recognizing that this person was wearing the clothes of the Punishment Department, the porter did not dare to stop him, and after welcoming the person in, he immediately sent the news and ordered someone to invite Ye Quan out.
Ye Quan, who was sick in bed, was helped out by two people.
He was unable to stand on his own not long after being punished, and was only supported to walk a few steps, and the pain between his brows could barely be concealed.
