Countless women and children poured out of the ground, shaking the whole of Tokyo.

In particular, many of these people are scarred and even mutilated.

There were many people present at the time, and there were many soldiers patrolling the assassins, and they were immediately shocked when they saw this scene.

And those women and children, when they suddenly saw the light of day, were suddenly filled with joy and sorrow, and fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

The nearby officials did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to inquire, but when they asked, they learned that they were all taken away and abducted, and had been imprisoned underground in the dark.

Only now that he is saved, can he return to the world.

A rough question, the longest of them is actually more than ten years.

It's not that there is no longer time, but the longer ones have basically died long ago.

The few who survived were abducted when they were young, and now they are only in their twenties, but they are old and haggard, with mutilated limbs, and I am afraid that they will not live long.

One of the characteristics of Confucian civilization is that it has always been the official standard, but it always advertises itself as the people's standard, and the memorial arch has always been high.

What is "the people are the most important, the society is secondary, and the king is light", what is "loving the people like a son", what is "not competing with the people for profit", what is "the prince breaking the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime"......

It sounds good to say, but it is always superficial when it comes to doing things.

Their group of officials know very well that most of the people are obedient and easy to fool.

As long as they make a superficial appearance and hype it up, the people are superstitious about authority, and when the authority says so, they will naturally believe it.

At most, a few more typologies are established, and special cases with small samples are used to represent the majority, and as long as they are preached, they can naturally replace the concept and make people form stereotypes.

"A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail", listen to it, how catchy.

"The roll call outside the Donghua Gate is a hero", look at it, the hairpin and white horse parade on the street, the one who was caught under the list, is there a general?

When it comes to playing with public opinion, literati are experts, but they are not comparable to military generals and ordinary people.

This is the case today, the assassination of the official family is a hot spot in the near future, but hundreds of women, girls and children suddenly appeared, and the heat was stirred up.

Now the people in the capital are talking about these saved victims all day long, and they don't even pay much attention to the assassination of the official family.

On weekdays, everyone actually knows that there are abductors, strongmen, abduction and trafficking of children, and abduction of women, but except for the family that suffers from it, no one else feels much.

Even if someone around him is killed, he just sighs for his bad fate and bad luck.

In the huge capital, 1,800 people are lost every year, and they don't feel it at all, except for the records in the yamen, outsiders don't know anything about it.

But now that hundreds of people suddenly appeared in the city and gathered together, the matter is serious.

People suddenly found that there were so many people who were victimized, not just the one or two around them.

These are still alive and rescued, but what about those who died in the ground?

What about those that were sold?

Even, are there any people underground who have not been rescued?

Especially for those who heard that someone had been rescued and rushed over to look for their families, but were disappointed to see that everyone was taken away by their relatives, but their own relatives were not among them, the sadness and despair are indescribable.

At the underground exit, a large number of people are now wandering around every day, hoping that their relatives will just walk a little slower and will soon be able to come out of the hole again.

It was the government that drove them away in every possible way, but still refused to leave.

Even worse, the surviving women and children leaked the information of some "guests", which caused an uproar in the city of Tokyo.

Everyone knows that the powerful are careless about human life, but no one has any evidence.

Even if there is evidence, they can't afford to mess with it.

If someone is a nobleman, they kidnap your daughter and daughter-in-law, and abuse your children, what can you do?

The people did not dare to march in the streets, it was illegal, but they dared to curse in secret, dare to slander, dare to complain......

What does the court do to eat?

I know about collecting taxes all day long, but I don't do anything at all!

All of a sudden, everywhere the officials went, everyone looked sideways, did not speak, did not scold, but only had a gloomy face and looked at the road.

The pressure came to Kaifeng Mansion in an instant.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, Sheng Zhang, is now very big, because there is a large vacancy in the court meeting this morning, and more than a dozen people have not been able to come to the court.

The official record is sick leave, but now officials know that most of these people will not be able to come in this lifetime.

Moreover, a large number of powerful families sent people to report the case, saying that their master had not returned today after leaving home last night.

Sheng Zhifu didn't have to think about it at all, he knew where this group of people died.

After getting the news, he immediately sent someone to the underground to find out the situation on the side of the Ghost Fan Tower.

It was full of burned ruins, and there were countless corpses in it, and who knew which corpse belonged to which nobleman?

As for why he knew the address of Ghost Fan Building, just look at the "Book of Life and Death" written in blood in Ghost Li's hand, then you will know that he is the number one one!

All the pressure from all sides fell on him, demanding that he must arrest the "evil thieves" who "killed" those nobles.

The origin of these people is too big for him to resist.

This matter is so big that the officials have been alarmed and specially asked.

In this world, many things can be done, but they cannot be said.

Although most people, including the emperor, are now eager to let those sluts who come out of their hearts simply die, and not to affect the existing stability and overall situation, no one dares to say such words.

Most of the bureaucrats and nobles did not care about the lives of the people, but they did not oppose the use of this propaganda slogan to carry out political disputes and suppress dissidents.

This kind of thing is "people-oriented" is politically correct, and whoever opposes it will seek death.

The imperial court openly demanded that Kaifeng Mansion must crack this shocking case, give an explanation to the people, and let the victims get their grievances.

But secretly, the real meaning is to try to eliminate the situation, so that everyone's grievances have an outlet and calm down as soon as possible.

At the same time, the thief who dared to harm the nobles must also be brought to justice!

These things don't need to be spoken, and officials must understand them, otherwise they won't be able to climb up.

The tacit understanding of officialdom gradually took shape under such circumstances.

Of course, the Sheng Governor's Mansion was sensible, so he immediately sent people with gifts to visit the victims, investigate the details of the incident, and at the same time organize officials to go underground to "clear" the thieves.

The underground wave of people is very smooth, most of the people are dead, and it is enough to arrest a group of the remaining people as scapegoats, push them to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead them to show the public, and appease the people's emotions.

But when the victim was questioned, it was not so smooth.

"Kaifeng Mansion Yin" often appears in film and television dramas or scripts, which is not very official, and it is generally added to the prince.

The official position in charge of the administrative affairs of Kaifeng Mansion is "Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion", referred to as "Prefect", which is one of the important central officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, such as Kou Zhun, Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and others have held this position.

Sheng Zhang, the word Jiwen, Zhu Mian's henchman, served as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture several times from the fourth year of Zhenghe to the eighth year of Zhenghe.
