Mobile reading
These three hundred or so people obviously came prepared, although the things thrown are not similar to yesterday's raw pork and pig bones, but there are a lot of vegetables and fruits, and after a while, Ye Yueming's body will be green, red, purple, colorful.
Emperor Xi calculated the time, and saw that Ye Yueming was almost smashed to the ground, so her right hand was behind her back, and she gestured behind her, her aura turned into a transparent butterfly, and with Emperor Xi's mind flew to Ye Yueming's forehead, the transparent butterfly pounced on Ye Yueming's injury, and the originally scabbed wound suddenly shed blood, accompanied by egg whites and tomato juice, and half of her face flowed at once.
This time, it can frighten the people below. The hands that they wanted to continue throwing paused, and the eggs, vegetables, etc. they were holding in their hands were all put back into the basket, and they looked at Ye Yueming in a bit of a daze.
Ye Yueming looked at them indifferently, clasped her hands into fists, and made an arching gesture: "Are they all relatives of the group of prisoners executed yesterday?" ”
When the people below heard Ye Yueming ask, they suddenly screamed, and they were all bitter masters.
"Since you are all relatives of the prisoners who were ordered to be killed by Xiao Wang, then, Xiao Wang asked you, are they your dearest relatives?" Ye Yueming looked at these people coldly, her voice was cold, but with a slight sigh.
"Needless to say? My man is such an honest and responsible person, but he was given a ...... by you who killed a thousand knives" I don't know which woman in the crowd is, and she opened her mouth and cried obviously.
Ye Yueming was not in a hurry, and made a gesture in the direction where the voice came from: "May I ask Madame, my husband's surname is Gao." ”
"Liu Ergou."
"Liu Ergou? But the Liu Ergou who turned over the tea leaves in the east of the city? Ye Yueming thought for a while and asked.
There was a sudden silence in the crowd, and from the perspective of Emperor Xi and Ye Yueming, the eyes of the crowd all fell on a woman who was half a head shorter than ordinary women.
"Yes...... What's wrong? ”
Ye Yueming smiled slightly: "So, madam, do you know, how did your husband come to be a horse leader?" ”
"My man told me that one day when he was walking on the road and saw that our prefect's horse was frightened, he sacrificed his life to save the prefect, so he made this official." The woman heard Ye Yueming's question and told what she knew, and the crowd was in an uproar.
Ye Yueming clapped her hands and said, "Prefect's office clerk, come up." ”
A lean middle-aged man with a goatee walked up from behind with a thick account book and bowed to the night moon: "Your Highness." ”
"Come, tell this lady the origin of this horse leader."
"On the third day of the fifth month, Liu Ergou went to the back door of the prefect's mansion, bribed ten taels of silver, and won the official to lead the horse." The clerk opened the thick account book, and flipped through it for a while before he found Liu Ergou's name on the dense records in May.
Ye Yueming listened to the paperwork's words, and her smile was so cold that she couldn't bear it: "Folks, did you hear it?" The horse leader only needs ten taels of silver. Clerk, please tell these bitter masters, how much does such a clever horse leader earn in a year? ”
"The horse leader, the annual salary is twenty taels of silver."
"Do you hear that? Spend ten taels of silver, and after a year, you can earn back ten taels. Xiao Wang asked everyone present, where did the money come from? Isn't it enough for a horse leader to have such a good fortune to behead the public? Ye Yueming said this, paused, and looked at the people below: "Who else, confident that Xiao Wang killed the wrong person, you can report your name, and Xiao Wang will check them for you one by one." ”
"The only son of old decay...... Liu Yi. ”
"Another one surnamed Liu? If Xiao Wang is not mistaken, the old uncle's son seems to be a gardener? Ye Yueming went through all the lists in his hand all night, and his ability to remember came in handy at this moment.
The trembling old man in the crowd nodded, and his voice was hoarse: "Yes, it's him." ”
"Paperwork, read it." Ye Yueming waved his hand and handed over the job to the clerk.
The clerk turned the account book to February last year and said: "Liu Yi, the gardener in the house, bribed twenty taels of silver. ”
"How can an old son be a florist who does his duty...... It's about to be decapitated. ”
Ye Yue Ming saw that the old man with white hair was full of muddy tears, and the vegetable basket he had in his hand only had a few cheapest vegetables, and now he was still lying quietly in the vegetable basket, so he knew that this old man had never moved, and he was even more sympathetic in his heart: "Uncle, Xiao Wang told you, but you have to hold on to it." ”
"The old sons are dead, what else can't hold on? But my son died unjustly. The old man thumped his chest, sad as well.
Ye Yuechao walked a few steps in the direction of the old man's house, attached half of his body and said: "Uncle, your son visited the Qinglou in early February, killed a little slave of the prefect's mansion, was blackmailed by the prefect, and had to enter the prefect's mansion as a gardener. Your son is carrying a human life, and when he was working as a gardener in the prefect's mansion, he actually stole the prefect's gold, silver and jewelry and sold it. ”
The first time the old man heard someone say this about his son, he couldn't bear it for a while, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Seeing this, Ye Yueming immediately jumped down from Xingxingtai, hugged the old man, and shouted loudly: "Come on, send this old man to the palace, send the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, and we must ensure that the old man is safe and sound!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhou Yaji's people immediately took the old man from Ye Yueming's hand, and quickly left Xingxingtai with the old man.
At this time, there was silence under Xingtai, and only sobs could be heard one after another.
Ye Yueming walked back to Xingtai, and asked again: "Who else thinks that Xiao Wang killed the wrong person, continue to ask." ”
There are three or two people who want to ask for justice for their families, but they are rejected by Ye Yueming one by one, and after making about ten people like this, no one dares to come on stage to discuss with Ye Yueming whether their relatives have really made mistakes.
Seeing that these most excited people gradually calmed down, Ye Yueming finally spoke: "Xiao Wang was originally exiled to Yuzhuo City, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't care about any matter in Yuzhuo City, let alone execute so many prisoners. But don't forget, we're out with herders who can come at any moment. If our own people are exploited internally, and the officials protect each other, and Qin Wen leads the grassland tribes to disturb the border in the coming year, will the people of Yuzhuo City open the door and surrender and become the second Broken Leaf City? ”
The people below were silent, and no one responded to Ye Yueming.
Seeing that they were no longer talking, Yeyue Ming continued: "Xiao Wang knows that those who were beheaded by Xiao Wang were all your closest relatives, but did the mistakes they made harm other people's loved ones? People are of the same mind, and their hearts are of the same mind. What's more, you will get a person who has no official status at all through the means of buying officials, do you really expect them to make decisions for you? Think carefully about how hard your days will be if this continues. ”
