Chapter 82: The Case of the Slaughter of the Village
Some artists saw Ren Zi'an among the many officials, and he threw a flower gun hard.
"Ahh
The spear pierced Ren Zi'an's chest from behind, and he fell to the ground trembling like chaff in pain, and a terrible scream came out of his throat.
At this time, the court officials were even more frightened, and rushed to the door of the main hall in a hurry, and actually squeezed out the Yulin Army who came to escort them.
The artists were frantically looking for the enemy in the crowd, they all had red eyes, they were all red-eyed, and some people saw that the officials on the high platform were surrounding a person, so they rushed to the high platform.
"Ah, help, help......
When the internal officials saw the artist rushing over, the bloody knife was about to cut down on them, and they all held their heads and screamed.
Chu Zishan jumped up, raised his foot and kicked the artist off the high platform, bent down to pick up the Wuming fan discarded by the palace maid, and held the fan across the high platform.
The emperor, who was cowering under the dragon chair, looked at the heroic Chu Zishan like a god soldier descending from heaven, and his frightened eyes were filled with a trace of relief and gratitude, and he was relieved.
Under the high platform, the frightened crowd fled in panic like ants on a hot pot.
"Luo Zhen is there!"
With a loud shout, all the artists followed the prestige, and saw Luo Zhen hiding behind the thick beams, and the artists all roared angrily and rushed over.
Luo Zhen howled miserably and ran to King Xian: "Help, King Xian, save me, save me......
Guarded by six guards, King Hyun knows the reason for the artist's rebellion.
But he calmly thought about it, if his father died in this assassination, the ownerless court situation should be in his favor, should he take the risk......
Suddenly hearing Luo Zhen's shout, his gloomy face was a little flustered, his eyes burst with murderous intent, and he shouted wildly.
"Boldly disrupt the people, dare to assassinate the emperor, and the guards obey the order and swear to defend the emperor......
Immediately, he whispered to the guards around him, "Kill Luo Zhen."
The guards rushed to the artists at his order, and one of them pulled Luo Zhi and stabbed Luo Zhen in the back of the heart with a short dagger in his hand.
A black shadow flashed, pulling Luo Zhen away from the guard's hand and kicking the dagger away from the guard's hand.
When King Xian saw that the person who snatched Luo Zhen was actually King Duan's personal guard, he was so shocked that he drew his sword and wanted to rush over, so he heard a loud shout.
"Father, my son is here."
With the sound of a bumper impact, King Duan led the Yulin Army to break through the window and enter the main hall.
King Duan bore the brunt of the attack and lay on the high platform and helped the emperor up: "Father is frightened, can you be injured?"
The emperor shook his head: "I'm fine, it's a shame that Chu Zishan is here." After that, he pointed to Chu Zishan, who was standing on the high platform.
King Duan looked back and said, "Father, the son will go and pacify these rebellious people."
The words fell to his feet, pulled out the sword at his waist, and pointed to the chaotic hall: "Yulin Army, go with this king to kill all these untouchables who committed rebellion."
He jumped off the high platform and led the Yulin Army to fight with the artists.
King Xian looked at Luo Zhen, who was close at hand, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
Luo Zhi and Ren Zi'an were under his command, and everything was ordered by him, and they fell into the hands of the sworn rival Duanwang, which was very unfavorable to him.
He looked at the brave Duan Wang in the battle and gritted his teeth, he and Duan Wang Ming fought in secret, and most of the results were that he had the upper hand, but this time, he lost, and he may be defeated.
He had never disdained Duanwang's stupid opponent, but he was a little at a loss at the moment.
Soon, the artists were all restrained by the Yulin Army, and King Duan pointed at the artists with a long sword in his hand, and shouted: "Dare to stab the emperor, come, put them on the long street, behead them to show the public......
"Wronged, we didn't assassinate the emperor, what we want to kill are the dog officials Luo Zhen and Ren Zi'an, and I ask the emperor to avenge my whole village......
The artists who were pressed to the ground screamed in grief, the blood and tears on their faces mixed together, and they complained with tears in their eyes: "Luo Zhen, Ren Zi'an, they killed the whole villagers in order to hide the iron mine, and they were mad, and they were even more ......miserable."
Duan Wang drank hard
"You still want to quibble about assassinating the emperor in front of everyone, and you tell a big lie even more absurdly............
The artist straightened up, "We confess the crime of assassinating the court official, but I didn't lie, let alone frame."
He glared at Luo Zhen, his eyes were splitting with resentment: "We are from Xiaolijia Village in Wancheng, just at the foot of Guigu Mountain, the whole village depends on performing arts for a living, our group has been out for more than a month, and finally earned money to go home, but as soon as we entered the village, we were arrested.
According to the person who guarded us, some villagers in our village found iron ore in the mountains and reported it to the officials, but they did not receive a reward, but they brought a huge disaster to the whole village.
In the evening, Luo Zhen and Ren Zi'an took a large number of generals and slaughtered our entire village while the villagers were sleeping.
They are so mad and sinful that they are hiding and seizing iron mines.
We escaped from the yamen and complained to the prefect, but the prefect not only refused to accept it, but also beat my brother to death.
They protect each other, no one is the master for us, and they redress the grievances of my fathers and fellow villagers who died in vain, and they also chase and kill us everywhere, and we are cornered.
I heard from my peers that Kyoto was going to host a birthday for the Grand Governor and recruit jugglers.
We thought that Luo Zhen and Ren Zi would definitely attend the eldest princess's birthday banquet, so we decided to assassinate the dog official and fight to the death.
Regardless of whether you can kill the dog official or not, you must hide the dog official in the iron ore and show the world!
In this way, it can be regarded as revenge for the villagers."
After that, he kowtowed to the ground with a bang, and there were bloody tears in his eyes: "I beg the emperor, for the more than 500 people in my village who died under the butcher's knife of the dog official, kill the dog official, for this, we would rather suffer the punishment of Ling Chi."
When the artist's words fell, the faces of everyone present were shocked, and for a while, the quiet needle drop on the hall could be heard, and the atmosphere was solemn as if it was pressed down by heavy dark clouds, which was so dull that it was suffocating.
The artists looked at the high-ranking officials with expectant eyes, and no one responded for a long time.
They kowtowed in unison: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can go to Lijia Village to verify, except for a few of us, there are no living people in the village."
The long sword in Duanwang's hand was slowly raised towards Luo Zhen, and he shouted angrily in a low voice: "The slaughter of Lijia Village, more than 500 people, and the private hiding of iron ore, is it true?"
"I, I, I, no, I, the lower official, wronged......
Luo Zhen cried bitterly in panic, repeatedly saying that he had been wronged, but he couldn't say anything to justify.
At this moment, he was a little envious of Ren Zi'an, who died so happily, and what was waiting for him would be life rather than death.
The moment the artists shouted his name, he was so frightened that he knew that the incident in the east window had happened, and wanted to seek the protection of his master, King Xian, but he saw King Xian's murderous intentions towards him.
slaughtering the whole village and hiding the iron mine, if he can't recruit it, he will not escape death.
King Duan sneered: "Tutu Tu, there must be a trick, you are just a four-grade official, this king does not believe that you have the ambition to swallow the sky, dare to commit a heinous crime, say, who instructed you."
Luo Zhen lay on the ground limply, like a fat toad, he cried and convulsed all over his body, desperate.
Can he tell that the master behind it is the virtuous king?
If you recruit a virtuous king.
Privately possessing iron ore, the great crime of the nine clans, he and King Xian are dead.
If you don't summon a virtuous king, take care of everything yourself.
There is still a glimmer of hope, but King Xian can help him leave a trace of blood.
Thinking of this, he kowtowed vigorously and cried bitterly: "Minister, the sin deserves death, it was Ren Zi'an who persuaded me to conceal the iron mine, saying that from now on the two of us will have a huge wealth in the world, I, my ghost has lost my mind, and I have lost my conscience and made a big mistake, and I am extremely remorseful, and I am willing to die to apologize."
He jerked to his feet and rushed towards the thick beams.
