Chapter 15: The Bloody King's Stone
That night, Wu Yang stayed in the public house, and the emperor gave him a small house with two entrances, which was on Qingliang Mountain, not far from the imperial city, but Wu Yang rarely went to live.
Wu Yang brought Changji out of Xingqing Mansion alone, and he was busy with business on weekdays, half of the time he was on duty in the palace, half of the time was in the Imperial City Division to handle official business, and his meals were also solved outside. In addition to inviting a pulp washer to wash and dry the clothes and clean the courtyard regularly, the house did not increase the population.
Although Wu Yang is the son of the Jiedu envoy, Wu Lan himself is a martial artist; secondly, he had many children; Sanlai Jin has always been eyeing the country, so the descendants of the Wu family have been thrown into the army since they were ten years old to experience, eat and live with ordinary soldiers, and practice together, even if it is a son-in-law. Therefore, Wu Luan's sons are very popular when they come out, and they are even less arrogant.
There is another reason why Wu Yangwo is in the official room, a few days ago, a nursery rhyme circulated in the mouth of the children in Lin'an City, involving the succession to the throne-
"Zhao Erlang, Zhao Erlang, when will I borrow the throne? Half of the country is in the hands of the enemy chieftain, and the children and grandchildren are incapable of causing trouble to their fathers and mothers! β
As soon as the nursery rhyme came out, the two adopted sons of Emperor Zhao Gou, Zhao Yuan, the king of Pu'an County, and Zhao Xuan, the king of Enping County, went to kneel at the gate of the palace every day, pointing to the day of the oath to show their loyalty.
The Great Song Dynasty was founded by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, but after Taizu's death, the throne passed to his younger brother Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and the current emperor Zhao Gou is a descendant of Taizong.
Pity the only son of the current emperor Zhao Yang died of illness in the third year of Jianyan, when the Great Song Dynasty was turbulent, the country was turbulent, Zhao Gou listened to the minister's advice in Shaoxing two years to adopt Zhao Bozong and Zhao Bojiu of the Taizu line as adopted sons, that is, the current Pu'an County King Zhao Ying and Enping County King Zhao Xuan.
The case of nursery rhymes was investigated by the Imperial City Division as "Crow" Dugumu and "One-eyed" Xiaolong.
Since ancient times, the emperor has believed in the art of prophecy and weft, which is related to the legitimacy of the inheritance of the throne and the succession of Taizong and his lineage, which is to fundamentally shake the foundation of the imperial power of the current emperor, how can he not be angry!
The Son of Heaven is angry, the blood is drifting, the slightest carelessness, Lin'an City will set off a bloody storm, everyone is afraid of being affected by the pond fish, and they can't wait to stay out of the matter.
Since the emperor handed him the matter of banning "The Biography of Yue Fei", he naturally threw himself on it and had no time to care about it.
Early the next morning, Bai Yu took people to Taixue to investigate and find the person who printed the book.
Because of the nursery rhyme, most of the pawns brought by Bai Yu were assigned to Xiaolong and Dugumu, and now that he knew that the person who printed the book was very likely to be a student, Bai Yu simply took two pawns to Taixue with him, and the rest obeyed the dispatch of the two Imperial City Divisions.
Wu Yang got up and practiced his sword skills for a while, then washed his face, ate the breakfast that Changji bought, and sent someone to bring a message to Xie Wuwu, telling him that Kui Zhong was safe and sound in the secret spy department, and the morning passed unconsciously.
At noon, Wu Yang took a nap for a while, and was about to get up to deal with official business, when there was a sudden noise outside the gate of the Imperial City Division, and the voice was so noisy that he couldn't hear what was noisy.
"Changji, go outside and take a look, what's the noise? If there is no one to do it, the guards will be dispersed quickly, and what kind of system will it be to shout at the gate of the Imperial City Division! β
Changji agreed and was about to go out, when he bumped into a strong man who ran in from outside. The person who came hurriedly helped Changji, and kept running to Wu Yang's duty door, knelt down on one knee and reported loudly.
"Humble Tiemu, there is an emergency to ask to see the commander!"
In the afternoon, a group of people came from outside the gate of the Imperial City Division, pushing a cart, on which lay the bodies of a man and a woman and a child of a few years old, the people were noisy and shouted, saying that the Imperial City Division had forced a family of three to death, and the people wanted justice.
Since the establishment of the Great Song Imperial City Division, it has been exactly two hundred years, and it has never encountered the situation of the people blocking the gate.
Tie Mu felt fresh, he made people inquire, according to the people, today the Imperial City Division went to the West Market to arrest the perpetrators of the reactionary nursery rhymes, and somehow aimed the finger at Wang Ergou's family who killed fish for a living in the West Market.
The fast-moving Yacha Suo took Wang Ergou, and then went to lock Wang Ergou's only son Wang Shishi, who was only seven years old, saying that the children in this area were the leaders of Wang Shishi in singing nursery rhymes, and they wanted to take him back for questioning.
Wang Ergou and his wife only have an only son from Wang Shishi, and the baby is not good on weekdays, and the fish killing stall opened by the couple does not let Wang Shishi get involved, and they are afraid that the fish scales and internal organs in the fish killing stall are full of blood and water, and they do not want their baby son to suffer.
Now the Imperial City Division is going to take the baby son in for questioning, that is the Imperial City Division, alas, how many high-ranking officials and eunuchs have entered the Imperial City Division, and they have to shed their skin if they don't die, can a seven-year-old child come back after he goes in?
Wang Ergou and his wife first begged bitterly, but the fast-moving Ya was almost unmoved, and picked up the heavy iron chain to put it on Wang Shishi.
Where was Wang Ergou willing to let his baby son enter the Yama Palace, he got up from the ground, flew and hit the yacha, knocked the yacha back a few steps, and fell on the buttocks.
The fast-moving yacha was furious, picked up chains, sticks, and sabers and beckoned to Wang Ergou, beating Wang Ergou to roll all over the ground. Wang Ergou's wife saw that her husband was at a loss, so she hurriedly rushed over to protect her husband's head and face, and was hit several times in succession, causing the husband and wife to scream in a row!
"You bullied my father, I fought with you!"
Wang Shishi didn't know when he pulled out a fish-killing knife, the blade was thin and slender, and the blade shone with a cold light in the sun. Wang Shi held the fish-killing knife in both hands and rushed straight towards the Yacha headed by him!
Wang Ergou and his wife turned pale with fright, and exclaimed: "Don't, don't stone!" β
It's too late to say anything! I saw Wang Shishi rushing to Mu Yuan, the leader of the fast travel team headed by the fish-killing knife, Mu Yuan staggered slightly, dodged the blade, grabbed Wang Shishi's neck with one hand, and turned him around.
Wang Shishi was also a fierce man, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately stabbed the fish-killing knife towards Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan grabbed Wang Shishi's collar and shook him hard, threw him out of the way, and fell to the ground into a rolling gourd, spurting out a mouthful of blood with a "poof"!
"Stoneβ"
Wang Ergou and his wife screamed sadly, Ergou ran to her son's side to check the injury, Wang Ergou took out a large fish-killing knife from under the board and pointed it at a cadre of the Imperial City Division, and roared: "Don't come over!" You killed my son, and I fought with you! β
Seeing that Wang Ergou had a knife in his hand, the officials "choked" and pulled out their sabers one after another and forced them forward.
Wang Ergou was just a matter of urgency, where could he, an ordinary fish-killing peddler, be the opponent of the well-trained Imperial City Division.
The nursery rhyme case is suspected of the art of the weft, and it is related to the succession of the Great Song Dynasty, and if it is not done, it is a big crime of rebellion! Seeing that Wang Ergou dared to openly resist arrest with a weapon, the yacha killed Wang Ergou on the spot in three or two rounds!
As soon as Wang Ergou died, Ergou Niangzi also rushed up and fought hard, hit his head on the blade of the yacha, and was wiped on the spot!
In a blink of an eye, my father and mother died, and before Wang Shishi, who had just got up, had time to grieve, he heard someone next to him shaking his head and sighing: "Just for the sake of coveting a few candies, I actually caused my father and mother to die tragically, pitiful!" β
Wang Shishi looked in the direction of the speaker, then looked down at the corpse of his father and mother, and then looked down at the fish-killing knife that he had been holding tightly in his hand, and he screamed: "Dad, mother!" It's the child who is not filial, and the child doesn't know that singing a few words of song will kill people! The child is here to accompany you, you wait for the child! β
As the child spoke, he parted the dirty cotton jacket on the ground to both sides, revealing his white belly, and he stabbed and pulled the fish-killing knife into his stomach, only to hear a "poof" sound, the hot intestines flowed out, and the blood spilled out far away!
Wang Ergou's family of three died cleanly, and the tragic situation stunned the people watching from afar, and some people said that the Huangcheng Division investigated the nursery rhyme case this time, because they couldn't find the master, and they all pointed the finger at those ignorant children who clapped their hands and sang nursery rhymes.
"They are all children of a few years old, if they are all like Wang Ergou's family, Lin'an City will not become a ghost domain in the world, who will survive?"
"Let's go, go to the Imperial City Division, and ask Wang Ergou's family for an explanation! What a sin he committed to dedicate a family of three to death! β
"Yes, I have to give an explanation! What's wrong with an ignorant child singing a few nursery rhymes? Isn't the nursery rhyme telling the truth? Most of the country is now at the feet of the Jin people, and they can't even guard the ancestral tombs, so what kind of face is there to blame this and that! β
Tie Mu didn't take it seriously when he heard it, he was on duty in the Imperial City Division, and naturally he also heard that the nursery rhyme was that someone used candy as bait to lure the ignorant children in Lin'an City to sing it. Chazi and the brothers of Kuaixing searched around in Lin'an City, but they could not find the person who taught children to sing nursery rhymes, and heard that the two Imperial City Secretaries were very angry, and there was no need for them to bump into the guns of the two adults.
He shouted to the people gathered outside the door: "The nursery rhyme case involves rebellion, you should leave as soon as possible, don't make mistakes!" β
The people did not leave, Tie Mu ordered the soldiers to drive away, who knew that the people gathered more and more, the two sides clashed, and people on both sides were injured and hung the lottery.
When the people saw that Wang Ergou's family did not get justice, but someone was injured, they immediately quit, and they wanted to storm the gate of the Imperial City Division with a large number of people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tie Mu immediately ordered to retreat to the Imperial City Division and close the gate to prevent the people from rushing into the yamen. Only then did he rush over and report to Wu Yang.
Now Wu Yang in the Imperial City Department is the supreme official, so he naturally has to take the idea.
Wu Yang followed Tie Mu to the gate, only to see that the two vermilion gates of the Imperial City Division had been latched, and someone outside the gate kept banging on the gate, making the gate crumble, but fortunately, the soldiers on duty pressed the gate with their shoulders to prevent them from being knocked down.
Wu Yang climbed up the ladder set up on the wall, only to see a group of black and oppressive heads gathered outside the door, and the people used a big cart as a siege block, constantly banging on the gate, and shouting noisily: "We want to see Lord Tiju!" We want to avenge Wang Ergou's family! β
