Chapter 1222: The Meng Family's Purpose
It is indeed because someone has come to sue about the father, and the front hall of the city lord's mansion at this time is already in a mess, and the reason for the chaos is that there are too many people, and Miao Fusang didn't understand why so many people suddenly appeared all of a sudden, and they sued together, and they all sued the same thing-the father.
Regarding the matter of the kidnapping of the king of Gebu to raise his father, the people of the entire Fengxiang City have now known, although it has not yet been decided whether it is true or not, but people have always believed that this kind of thing will not be groundless, after all, no one is full of food and nothing to make the rumor of the monarch. The reason why such news came out shows that the secret that was originally tightly covered has been revealed.
So, people as family units all ran to the city lord's mansion to report the case and ask the city lord to help find someone. There is even a clear statement: "I suspect that my son was taken captive by the king's men, for on the night he was lost, a group of Praetorian guards was seen walking through the streets, and it was at that time that he disappeared." ”
Almost everyone raised their suspicions, even if they didn't raise it, they cried and begged the city lord to help find someone, can't a big living person say that he won't see it, this is Fengxiang City, Fengxiang is Kyoto, Kyoto can still be so rampant that there are people missing, so do the people of other cities want to live? Or is it just Kyoto where people disappear from time to time?
Among the people who came, there were also people from other places, and they immediately expressed their opinions: "It's not just that someone in your Fengxiang Township is missing, but it's also the case in other cities. A few years ago, we had a new daughter-in-law, and the man disappeared less than three days after getting married, and she cried so much that she died of illness within half a year. The old people of the two families were also sad because of the death of their children, and they were gone one after another within a year. No one knows what's going on in this world, I've heard that good-looking big girls will be taken away before, and flower thieves are also women, so why do our flower thieves in Gebu specialize in picking men? When we heard that the king was keeping his father in captivity, we really suspected that our son was taken captive by the king. Please Lord Castle Lord to make decisions for us, and we will find our son. ”
Miao Fusang was secretly surprised, there were at least 100 people who came to report the case today, although many of them also came with the old couple, and there were mothers-in-law who accompanied their daughters-in-law, but even if there were two people from each family, at least 50 families were involved. This is not a small number, if these fifty families are allowed to make trouble in the city, Fengxiang City will only be panicked. In addition, because of Meng Shuhe's disappearance, many families dare not let their daughters go out anymore, for fear of being robbed and beheaded. Therefore, Fengxiang City in the recent period is really not very good, people's hearts are unstable, and there are many legends.
Surprised, he was also amazed, sighing that the Meng family actually had such great ability to let the prince of Eastern Qin come forward for this matter.
That's right, it's the prince of Dongqin, although the prince of Dongqin was not present today, but he knew that this matter was done by that prince, and these people were found by that prince. Because the official messenger told him that it was two girls who came with these people today, and they had seen those two girls follow the prince of Eastern Qin into Fengxiang City yesterday and walk into the official inn together.
Miao Fusang cast his eyes on the two girls, one was taller, the other was a little shorter, the other had a cold face and a gloomy expression, and the other was shouting at him with his arms wrapped in front of him: "Lord City, how about you give us a word about the situation, just leave us like this?" The two girls each held a large roll of paper in their hands, and as she spoke, Miao Fusang could see clearly, and they were full of portraits. We came to report the case, first, to report the disappearance of the person, and second, to raise our suspicions, suspecting that this matter is related to the recent rumors of the monarch's captive father in Fengxiang City. I understood the principle and rule that whoever reported the crime should provide evidence, so before we came, we asked the artist to draw these portraits according to the oral account of each informant. ”
She pulled the cold-faced girl on the side, and the two of them squatted down together, spreading the portraits one by one on the ground. "These portraits are painted with their lost sons, husbands, and relatives in the family, Lord of the city, please take a closer look, you may be able to see what clues are on these paintings?" After speaking, he also beckoned to those who came to complain behind him, "You also come forward to take a look, it was a one-on-one portrait painted separately before, and now all the portraits are placed together, can you see for yourself what is wrong?" They moved very quickly to put up the portraits, and the more than 80 portraits were laid flat on the ground in a few moments.
Miao Fusang stepped forward and looked down, and he understood at that time. No wonder you have to paint one-to-one and put them in one place! Maybe they can't see any clues separately, but when they are put together, a discerning person can see the problem at once.
It's too similar, more than 80 portraits, and the people who painted them don't say the same, but each one looks like seventy percent. Someone understood at the time: "It's the formal!" Sure enough, it's the form father! A king is a captive man according to his appearance, and the reason why our child was chosen is because he looks a little like a king. Whether it's the nose, the eyes, or the mouth, there are similarities. ”
But others pointed out the difference: "You look at that one, it doesn't look like anything else." ”
The girl with a gloomy face spoke, and asked, "Then may I ask the family of the portrait, how long is the missing person in your family?" What is the posture? ”
Someone immediately replied to her: "My husband is nearly eight feet tall, and he is the tallest man in town." ”
"And what about His Majesty? The lord of the castle has to face the saint every morning, and asks the lord of the castle to tell us, how long is His Majesty the monarch? She stared at Miao Fusang again, her gaze aggressive.
Miao Fusang sighed, "His Majesty the monarch is eight feet tall. He had long understood that the monarch was looking for a similar father not only to look for a similar person, but also to consider the length of his body. Even if the child is born with a look that does not look like him, as long as he is tall, he can be justified. After all, there are not many people in the world who can reach eight feet in length, and this can be regarded as a route that can be taken by a father.
"And what does His Majesty look like?" Another girl smiled and asked him, "Compared to these portraits on the ground, is it like?" ”
Miao Fusang nodded, "Like, like seventy percent up." ”
"Does that prove that their disappearance has something to do with the monarch? Or can the lord of the city use this as a basis to ask His Majesty the monarch for an explanation on behalf of these suffering people? If so, ask him to hand him over, and if not, ask him to defend himself by stating a reason why he is not. Also, why did he say that he had a father, he also had to give an explanation to the people of the world. ”
"Yes, that's right!" People shouted, "We want a son, we want justice, please ask the lord of the city to be the master for us!" ”
This is the second batch to identify the monarch today, Miao Fusang knows that the Meng family has made up their minds to do this thing, and their daughter's death has made them crazy, but he doesn't understand, even if this case is clarified, what else can the Meng family do? Can you still make the monarch pay for his life? What is the ultimate purpose of the Meng family? What exactly do they want?
Faced with the questioning of more than 100 people, Miao Fusang also responded to the case. He put away all these portraits, made a pen copy for each of them, and made each of them press their handprints. He promised the people that the court would raise this case tomorrow morning, and he must let the monarch give an explanation, and he would definitely not let the case go unresolved.
The two girls were satisfied with this, but also made a request: "There are so many people, half of them are not local to Fengxiang, not to mention that even if they are locals of Fengxiang, it is too unsafe to return to live at home after suing the monarch." So let's take everyone back to the official inn, and everyone will live in the official inn together, and if something happens, then please ask the fathers and villagers who are listening to the hall today to testify against the king, and prove that they died because of the complaint against the king. ”
"Don't worry, we will testify!" Someone outside the hall shouted, and soon all the people who came to hear shouted. That's even bigger, hundreds, thousands, or even more. Some people even mentioned that the Meng family also brought someone to sue just now, and the sue was also the monarch, and they questioned this, "If the monarch is really such a person, then isn't he a faint monarch?" Isn't it a tyrant? Why should we let such a person rule the world of Gobu? He can even kill his own father, and even an unarmed Miss Meng can be treated so cruelly, so what else does he dare not do? Is there still humanity for someone like him? What hope is there for us to live under the rule of such a monarch all day long? What hope is there for Gobu? ”
For a while, the crowd was furious, and some people even called for "changing the dynasty".
Miao Fusang gradually understood, this is the purpose of the Meng family, or rather, is ...... He was slightly shocked in his heart, no, he was wrong, this was not the purpose of the Meng family, but the purpose of the person behind the Meng family.
The person behind the Meng family is that girl! The girl's face appeared in his mind again, and the familiar face made his thoughts suddenly be pulled back to more than ten years ago, back to the years when Lord Wenlan had not yet married.
Chun Yulan married to Dongqin and married Wen Guogong, although he died early, the daughter he left behind was very competitive. Not only does she have the reputation of a miracle doctor, but she is also the princess of heaven who was personally crowned by the Emperor of Eastern Qin, and she is also the wife of the prince of Eastern Qin.
It would be too stupid for such a person to participate in this crusade against His Majesty, and he could not understand the purpose of it.
But what about figuring it out? The king is arrogant and unjust, and he cannot live, even if the girl does not come to collect the debt, these people in front of him will also come to collect the debt. Since he took over this case, he could only go all the way to the dark, tying his life and the lives of the whole clan to the Meng family and that girl.
I hope she succeeds, Miao Fusang thought, I hope she can succeed!
