Chapter 169: Set off to invite the river god
The seven gentry pointed to the angry crowd outside and said, "Young Master Su, you have also seen this, I am afraid that today's matter can only be solved by the princess." ”
The mob people, each with a shovel and hoe or other tools in their hands.
shouted one after another: "Let the princess of Chu come out, let the princess of Chu come out and speak." ”
"We don't care if she wants to dig ditches, but if she wants to dig rivers and disturb the gods, we have to take care of them."
"Princess Chu, if you have the ability, you can come out, don't hide in the house and be a turtle with a shrunken head."
Su Ling's head hurt from the deafening shouts of the people.
He stood in the middle of the gate: "Quiet and quiet, everyone listen to me." ”
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Su Ling said: "The ditch was dug into the river, because the rain disaster was about to fall in Wanzhou, and the princess wanted to flow the rainwater that could not be discharged in the city into the river. ”
"Where did the rain come from, you don't have to be alarmist here."
"That is, the river god blesses us Wanzhou for a hundred years, why do you say that there is a rain disaster, there is a rain disaster?"
"Even if there is a rain disaster, it is the princess of Chu who offended the river god and made the river god angry."
"Let Princess Chu come out and give us an explanation, let her get out!"
The crowd shouted and threw their hoes and shovels on the ground.
"I won't do it, whoever wants to dig a ditch will dig it, anyway, Lao Tzu won't dig it."
"I thought it was a good thing for the benefit of the people, and I got the salary, so I signed up to dig a ditch, who knew that this ditch digging turned out to be an evil thing that caused us to collide with the river god, so I didn't do it."
"No more, no more."
Su Ling was angry, and said that the poor mountains and bad waters came out of the people.
But this Wanzhou, so rich, is all Diao people.
He turned his head to look at the seven gentry, all of whom looked helpless.
In order to let them enter the courtyard, Su Ling could only show the politeness of the previous few days.
said: "Let's see if we can talk about it in private, I can't leave this Wanzhou just because my grandfather doesn't care about anything." ”
When several gentry heard this, they thought to themselves, anyway, it wasn't them who made trouble, so it was okay to go into the courtyard and talk about it.
It can't be the end of this matter, and it is not appropriate for them to offend the nobles.
As for Princess Chu, they were not worried at all.
In the name of the princess, she came to Wanzhou to fight the disaster, and arrested the prefect of Wanzhou for no reason, which is one of the crimes, and then angered the river god and led to civil unrest, this is the second crime, if Wanzhou really rains, it is her disaster resistance This is the third crime.
No matter which crime is pulled out, it is a big crime to be killed, and I heard that the princess of the king of Chu is overjoyed, and she is not liked by the king of Chu, if he is convicted and executed, the king of Chu should not care.
"Guys, let's go in and tell me what's going on? Why are there so many people besieging the house here? ”
"This is the people coming spontaneously, and we have no choice but to be invited to judge."
"Let's go, let's go inside."
The seven gentry followed Su Ling into the courtyard, and the moment the door was closed, Su Ling picked up the big wooden stick that was prepared on the side and yelled at the old guys.
"Bastards, you dare to fool your grandfather, Lao Tzu will kill you old bastards now."
The seven gentry were frightened by Su Ling's sudden change, and they saw that the wooden stick hit their bodies, and several of them fled one after another.
"Little grandpa, what are you doing here?"
Su Ling doesn't talk nonsense with them, he can overturn one by one.
The courtyard was filled with the screams of several old men crying wolves.
Wang Ke'er watched from the window, covered her mouth and snickered: "Miss, these old villains can't get up after being beaten by the little grandfather." ”
Jin Yue saw that it was almost done, so it was made,
"Stop."
Su Ling was panting tiredly, threw the stick, and said, "For the sake of the princess today, Lao Tzu will spare a few of you." ”
Wu Haoshen looked at Jin Yue and asked, "Princess Niangniang, is there any royal law in this Great Chu?" If you say no, then we will go to Beijing to sue the emperor. ”
Jin Yue stretched out his hand, and Lin Hui handed over the incriminating evidence of several people.
Then Jin Yue threw the papers on the ground: "Enter the scripture to sue the emperor? Go ahead and don't forget to bring these incriminating evidence. ”
A few old men wondered what it was?
But when they picked up the paper on the ground and looked at it, the faces of several people were suddenly bloodless.
Jin Yue sneered: "This princess is arresting the prefect of Wanzhou for no reason?" Or did I wronged you? ”
"Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life!"
Several old men were unruly before, but now they kneel in front of Jin Yue and beg bitterly.
Su Ling leaned over and gave Jin Yue a thumbs up and said, "Niu, no wonder you directly caught that Xu Xu, it turned out that you had already taken the evidence of his crime." ”
Wang Ke'er said: "The evidence of the crime was only obtained today, and there was no one before!" ”
When Su Ling heard this, he was speechless.
I don't know if Jin Yue is really bold or stupid.
He said: "Are you so confident that you can find these corrupt and bribery books? You're so daring. ”
Jin Yue said: "Then the Xu Governor dug out a secret room in his father's grave, and these account books and the treasures of corruption and bribery were hidden there. ”
A few old men are really convinced, they don't know where Governor Xu hides things, and even Mrs. Xu's Yang family probably doesn't know.
But this princess of Chu can actually find it?
And is it a grave digger?
Wu Haoshen couldn't help but ask: "This digging people's graves is a big taboo, Princess Chu, you are not afraid of digging up a hollow and charging more crimes?" ”
Jin Yue sneered: "Since she has already been charged with so many crimes, is this princess still afraid of this?" ”
Seven little old men, completely convinced!
Two silent little pigs, wanting to cry without tears.
Obviously, they told this bad woman, and the owner of the secret room in the tomb only took the two pigs there.
"Princess, since you let us in, you are planning to let us go."
"Yes, princess, what do you want us to do?"
Jin Yue smiled: "You know the current affairs. ”
The corners of Su Ling's mouth twitched: "To live and to die, fools also know how to choose to live." ”
"You persuade the people outside to retreat, and the Japanese princess will give you an answer tomorrow."
"That's it?"
A gentleman wonders, it's as simple as that?
Jin Yue said: "The people here believe in your seven great gentry, and they don't believe in this princess, so it is easy for you, but it is difficult for this princess." ”
"But the princess, you did anger the river god, if you don't leave this Wanzhou quickly, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Why, you don't believe that this princess is a god descended from heaven?"
A few gentry: "......"
"Someone, send off."
A few gentry were invited out, and she didn't care at all about how to persuade the people gathered outside the door.
Su Ling said, "What if they collude with that river god who pretends to be a ghost?" ”
Jin Yue said: "Impossible, I checked that the people who donate the most silver to the river god every year are the seven big families." ”
"So what's next?"
Jin Yue said: "When the people disperse, we will set off to invite the river god." ”
