Chapter 20: Fear for Life
In the lobby of the Heyang Mansion, everyone looked at the funny scene in front of them and was dumbfounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A dozen or so beggars who can only be seen in the corners of the alleys, livestock sheds, or other darkest corners of Heyang City on weekdays slammed their heads three times, then got up and put their heads on their unkempt faces, and said loudly: "Lord Prefect, we don't agree with the matter of Da Rimen!"
The government fell silent in an instant. Everyone looked at each other for a moment before someone spoke.
"Lord Prefect, what do you mean by this?" The tall and thin old man of the Great Rimen raised his hand and pointed at a dozen beggars, angry: "How can you let these untouchables go to court? Isn't this nonsense?!"
Sun Ting raised his eyebrows, his eyes were like the autumn wind, and his tone was even colder: "Elder Wang is cautious. These are also my people of Heyang, why can't they go to church?"
Elder Slender King was stunned, he opened his mouth to scold, but he was intimidated by Sun Ting's expression, and finally just took a deep breath and said, "Okay, even if they can go to the court, they should just kneel and wait for the arrangement." How can I let them talk about the matter of my big day?"
"According to the laws of the imperial court, as long as the people of the sect territory are here, they can speak, and since they are the people of Heyang, they can certainly speak. Sun Ting smiled coldly and asked with ill intentions: "Could it be that Elder Wang doesn't recognize the law of my dynasty?, or is it that the Great Rimen is not ready to abide by the law of my dynasty?!"
Elder Wang immediately opened his mouth and gagged by this big hat.
Just kidding, what kind of crime is it to not recognize the laws of the imperial court and not abide by the laws of the imperial court? That is to be a rebellion! And once he is charged with this crime, Sun Ting will immediately be able to mobilize the Wuhou camp in Heyang Mansion without any scruples and directly wipe out the Darimen!
"That's not what I meant. He said dryly, "I just, I just feel that the prefect is too merciful and too generous to these untouchables. ”
Sun Ting looked at him coldly, and only after a moment did he say coldly: "This official does things and has his own opinions, Elder Wang just needs to listen to the arrangement." ”
To put it bluntly, you're just a small character, just follow it, don't really think you're a character!
Although Elder Wang was not young, he could still understand his words, and his face was immediately embarrassed.
"Lord Prefect, my senior brother made a slip of the tongue for a while, don't blame me. Zhang Yan, who had always been watching the kneeling beggars in the hall, finally spoke: "It's just my lord, do you really want to value the meaning of these untouchables?"
Sun Ting narrowed his eyes, his gaze moved to Zhang Yan, and said, "Why did Elder Zhang make a mistake? This official reminds you that this is the imperial court's office, but two cannot be three!"
Zhang Yan raised his head, looked at Sun Ting for a moment, and then took the initiative to turn away and look at the beggar in the hall.
"Are you really going to kill yourself?" he said coldly, "I kindly remind you that if you get out of the way now, you can still save your life!"
The beggars seemed to be frightened, and suddenly trembled, and the leader even bowed his head with a crying voice and shouted: "Lord Prefect, someone wants to kill the small people, please uphold justice!"
Sun Ting was really furious, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted angrily: "Zhang Yan, don't you take this official in your eyes! Come on, drive them out for me!"
When the officials outside the door heard this, they immediately rushed in with water and fire sticks, and rushed towards Zhang Yan together.
"Humph!"
Zhang Yan snorted coldly, got up and shook his arms, and shook the officials back three steps in unison, and then said: "The prefect doesn't need to be angry, it seems that the matter of my Darimen today cannot be done." Well, I'll leave now. ”
Elder Slender and Tall King was already embarrassed, and when he heard this, he immediately got up and walked out without saying a word. But Zhang Yan stopped at the door for a while, left a sentence in a deep voice, and then left.
"Sect Master Lin has good means, but he is not afraid that he will have the same life as these untouchables?"
Everyone present shook when they said this, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, and took the initiative to kowtow and say goodbye. Sun Ting snorted coldly, and with a wave of his big sleeves, he asked the officials to send them away.
At this time, Lin Sen got up from his seat, and he didn't talk to Sun Ting Mo Wenhou, but directly picked up the kneeling beggars one by one and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you for your help, I will never forget this kindness!"
As Zhang Yan thought, it was indeed Lin Sen's arrangement to find the beggars to stir up the situation.
After returning to Heyang City three days ago and deciding to block the Great Sun Gate, Lin Sen had been thinking about what to do, and after thinking about it, he suddenly thought of these beggars with a flash of inspiration.
The Great Rimen can coerce the rich and big families to be the representatives of the people's will, so why can't I let the beggars be the representatives of the people? Anyway, is there any provision in the law of the Dayong Dynasty that beggars cannot be the representatives of the people's will!
As soon as this idea was proposed, Sun Ting and Mo Wenhou immediately looked at each other, feeling that this matter was very unreliable: the Dayong Dynasty had never done anything like this in the past hundred years since the founding of the country!
There are two reasons for this: first, they can't think of it, and second, they don't think it's possible.
Unexpectedly, it is because officials and beggars are completely different classes, such as Sun Ting, who broke his head himself, and he couldn't imagine that he could still use beggars as a shield, because he was actually the same as Elder Zhang Yanwang of the Great Rimen, he didn't look down on these untouchables! Even from their hearts, their thoughts were exactly the same: just untouchables, just kneel down and wait for the arrangement, how can they participate in this kind of thing?
As for the impossibility of thinking, it is a more natural idea: those rich families are still intimidated by the prostitution of the Great Day, and can only be at the mercy of their lives, how can these beggars be exempt from vulgarity?
So in the face of this novel idea, Sun Ting and Mo Wenhou couldn't believe it.
However, unexpectedly, when Lin Sen found those beggars with the idea of giving it a try and not losing anything, the loach patted his chest and said that it was no problem after a little discussion with the others!
As for the reason, it is what the loach said at this moment.
"Master Lin is too polite, how can we, the people, be worthy of your words. He got up with the rest of the beggars, rubbed his dirty hands uncomfortably, and grinned: "We are cheap, and it is a blessing to be able to treat you sincerely." Now I can give you something back, and we feel comfortable!"
These words made Lin Sen suddenly speechless, even Sun Ting showed praise on his face, and Mo Wenhou even blurted out: "True righteous man!"
"I can't afford to be praised by nobles. ”
Although the loach didn't know Mo Wenhou's identity, he also knew that he must have a noble status, so he immediately responded politely, and then left the lobby under the leadership of the officials.
At this time, only Lin Sen and Sun Ting Mo Wenhou were left in the hall of the mansion.
"Unexpectedly, it really happened. There were no outsiders at the moment, Sun Ting's flat face relaxed, and he sighed lightly: "Sect Master Lin, thanks to you today." ”
Lin Sen understood that what he said was not only that he stood up to oppose it in the name of Tongtian Sect, but also came up with the idea of beggars going to court.
"Lord Sun has a good reputation. Lin Sen waved his hand and signaled that the other party didn't have to care: "As you said, it is related to the vital interests of Tongtian Sect, if I, the sect master, don't stand up, who else will come forward?"
Mo Wenhou nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason. Brother Sun, Sect Master Lin, you two are welcome, now let's think about the next thing. I don't think Elder Wang of the Great Rimen is worried, but that Elder Zhang is just afraid that he has some calculations. ”
Sun Ting narrowed his eyes and said, "What Brother Mo said is good, Zhang Yan is scheming and has to guard against it." ”
Lin Sen recalled the situation and immediately nodded in agreement.
If it was an ordinary person who saw his plan being shattered, he was afraid of breaking out on the spot, but Zhang Yanfang not only did not do so, but also remained strong in the face of changes, forcing the beggars to regret as much as possible. And when it was impossible to do anything, he made a decision to leave directly, and even guessed that Lin Sen, the initiator, did not dwell on it!
This kind of performance is really alarming!
"But it's a troublesome matter, but it's also simple. Mo Wenhou thought for a while and said, "If the Great Rimen wants to implement this matter again, it can only sweep away the obstacles, that is, Sect Master Lin and those righteous people. As for the method of sweeping, hehe, what he just said is very clear. ”
Sun Ting immediately understood, and said solemnly: "Sect Master Lin, please pay more attention to your own safety. Frowning and thinking about it, he added, "It's better to stay in my house temporarily." No matter how rampant the Great Rimen is, I don't dare to mess around in my house!"
This is the truth, if Da Rimen really dares to attack the private residence of a court prefect, then he can almost be labeled as a rebel, so that Sun Ting is happy, because in this way, he has a reason to directly mobilize Wuhou.
But Lin Sen refused without hesitation.
"I understand Lord Sun's kindness, but I'd better go back to the original inn. ”
Sun Ting and Mo Wenhou were very surprised: "Why is this?"
Lin Sen smiled: "I always have to protect my friends." ”
Sun Ting was puzzled when he heard this, and Mo Wenhou was stunned for a moment and reacted: "Are you talking about those righteous people?"
Lin Sen nodded. Sun Ting was stunned for a moment, even Mo Wenhou looked stunned, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sect Master Lin, it's good for you to have benevolence and righteousness in your heart, but this is not an ordinary moment, you must always put your own safety first." ”
"Master Mo doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind. Lin Sen waved his hand, and then said softly: "And there are some things that I need to do with my friends." ”
