At this time, a jailer shouted loudly: "Lord Yang, Lord Yang! He hurriedly ran in from outside, came to Lord Yang and glanced at Li Daochun, and then reported: "Lord Yang, my lord, something is wrong, dozens of students came outside and said that they were going to go to prison, and thousands of people were making noise. ”

When Lord Yang heard this, he was angry and said, "It's all fucking messing up for Lao Tzu, and I'll get rid of it." ”

The jailer said with a sad face: "My lord, there are still many Confucian students at this door, and we are not good at being rude to the scholars, so why don't you meet for a while." ”

Lord Yang became even more angry when he heard this, and looked at his subordinates and shouted angrily: "Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, he will also suppress Lao Tzu." ”

"Yes." The jailer took the order and left.

Li Daochun was so clever that he immediately guessed seven or eight points, and then stood up and said to Lord Yang: "Since Lord Yang has official business, then I won't bother and leave." Then he turned and left.

Lord Yang saw that the east wall had collapsed, and the west wall could not collapse again. Ignoring the official body, he chased after him and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Li." If we don't, we can talk about it. ”

Li Daochun saw that the other party was chasing, and he was even more confident, he turned around and said without humility or arrogance: "If you want to talk, you can talk about it after three days." "Turn and leave. No matter how much Lord Ren Yang shouted, he would all turn a deaf ear.

Looking at the back of Li Daochun leaving, Lord Yang was so angry that his beard was crooked, but there was nothing he could do about holding this young descendant. secretly thought, this kid is not only beautiful, so thoughtful, but also a master of negotiation.

After returning home, Xia Mo threw herself into her mother's arms, like a baby. Xia Mo's gaze was a little dull, obviously because he had suffered a lot of fright today. She was stunned and said, "Mother, to be honest, today you saw those sticks facing us, are you scared?" ”

Mother Xia stroked her daughter's hair and said, "I'm not afraid." ”

Xia Mo said: "Although you are not afraid, but I am afraid, I am really afraid." ”

Xia Mu said, "Really? I didn't see it at all, I didn't see the look you were scared of. ”

Xia Mo said: "What we are afraid of is not the stick, what we are afraid of is that we will not win, and we are not afraid of bloodshed, we are afraid that all the blood that will be shed will be in vain." Although Li Daochun was locked inside, they still insisted on fighting hunger strike. From last year to now, we have been charging forward for more than a year, and we have exhausted all means. But you see that the people of the Five Elements Sect are still so rampant, they have no scruples, and we are still like cows, horses, and lambs. ”

Xia Mu raised her head and sighed often: "Yes, I always think that outsiders bully us, and our own people also bully others, but why can't we see any light?" ”

Xia Mo looked at her mother's eyes that had already dispersed, but they gradually coalesced together, and returned to the appearance of Zhong Lingyuxiu in the past, she suddenly said firmly: "Mom, don't worry, our efforts today are for the brightness of tomorrow, and you will definitely see it." ”

Xia Mu smiled and nodded, and Xia Mo smiled too.

In Weiyang's courtroom, Li Daochun stood in the defendant's seat. There was a commotion in the public court, and at this time, the judge couldn't help but slap the shocked wood and shouted: "How can there be a roar above the court, give this official a silence!" ”

Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, the judge asked, "Detainee, is Li Daochun you?" ”

Li Daochun responded: "It's me." ”

The judge asked again: "You, Li Daochun took the lead in gathering the crowd and went straight to the Yamen of the Political Envoy of Hengshan County, disrupting the normal order of the Yamen, and now he knows whether he is guilty." ”

Li Daochun nodded and said, "I am guilty." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the Confucian scholars present looked sideways, whispered, and exchanged ears, not knowing what Li Daochun meant by this, even Xia Mo was stunned.

Li Daochun said: "My sin is, because I have understood what a crime is in Weiyang and Dongtu, and it is a crime in your eyes to ask for the people's life, resist the crime of witches and ghosts, condemn the atrocity of the evil ghosts of Shura, protect the interests of the people, and appeal to the political envoy Yamen to ask to see the lord of the domain is a crime." ”

The Confucian scholars present shouted one after another: "Well said. "Well said." "Well said."

Xia Mo stood up even more excitedly, clapped his hands and said, "Well said, well said." Driven by her, many people stood up and applauded.

When the judge heard this, he had to pat the shocking wood again and again, and kept shouting: "Quiet, quiet." ”

The general judge said angrily: "The victim blatantly confused right and wrong. ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Daochun said again: "Since it is me who confuses right and wrong, and what he says is not a crime, then may I ask if it is a crime for those wolf-like public servants to beat Confucian scholars and cause them to bleed?" Is it a crime for the Arrest Department to arrest people from all walks of life in detention for more than 200 days without interrogation? ”

The Confucian scholars were furious and shouted: "That's right, are you committing a crime like this? Why hit the reader? ”

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control again, the general judge had to forcibly use his voice to force everyone, but where could he suppress it? He kept shouting, "Quiet, quiet." ”

After venting, everyone's voices finally gradually lowered, and the judge said angrily: "Li Daochun, are you trying me today, or am I trying you?" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Daochun did not show weakness, pointed to the nose of the general judge, and said angrily: "Of course I will judge you." ”

The judge was furious: "You! ”

Li Daochun said sternly: "Whoever is in the hands of justice, who is the judge, today I represent justice, on behalf of the good scholars and the people of Weiyang, to judge all the beastly atrocities that trample on the small people." ”

When the Confucian scholars present and the people watching outside heard this, everyone shouted: "Release, release, release." ”

The general judge repeatedly shouted: "Quiet! Be quiet! This time, however, the voices of the crowd could no longer be suppressed, and the entire roof of the public hall was "released!" Release! The call is about to be overturned.

Three days later, more than 20 Confucian scholars, including Li Daochun, who had been arrested in Weiyang, were acquitted in court amid the wave of protests of solidarity from the general public and Confucian scholars.

On this day, Xia Mu came back from shopping for vegetables outside, and as soon as she entered the house, she said, "Mo'er, I'm back." ”

Xia Mo responded: "Mom, you're back." ”

Xia's mother put down the vegetable basket and walked towards her daughter, she saw that her daughter was threading needles and threads, so she asked, "Mo'er, what are you showing here?" ”

Xia Mo smiled: "Don't show it." ”

Xia Mu smiled: "Good, good, good, don't look, don't watch." "Turned around and was about to leave

Xia Mo said again: "Look, look, it's actually nothing, just a little warmth for him." ”
