Chapter 116 This is Wei! Its you who should get out!
Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty.
In Shouren Academy, after Xu Qingxiao's order was issued.
At this moment, the entire Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice were already ready to take action.
The foreign tribes of Fans and Shang have been running rampant in the capital of the Wei Dynasty these days. They do not do business properly, and they are just doing some crooked ways.
They had been unable to bear it for a long time, but there had been orders from above not allowing them to move, so they were feeling aggrieved during this period.
The common people pointed at them and said that they were Fanshang's dogs, and they were also angry.
I have always been holding back my anger, especially the officials from the Ministry of Punishment, who were even pointed at and scolded by the people when walking on the road.
Now it's okay, Xu Qingxiao finally gave the order, and now the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War have completely let themselves go.
How cruel the pressure was before, how cruel it is now.
"Brothers, Master Xu has issued an order to arrest the bad businessmen and bring them all to the Ministry of Punishment for trial!"
"What are you still doing? Master Xu has already given the order. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War will join forces to arrest anyone on sight!"
"Let's go, let's catch all these bastards."
Voices rang out one after another. They were officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War. They were now like wild horses breaking free, walking directly towards the major streets.
Huainan Yamen.
A large number of Beijing soldiers swarmed out, each with a serious expression.
The people were furious, and they were really full of anger when they looked at these officers and soldiers.
They have suffered so much humiliation these days, but what they didn't expect was that today's outbreak, these officers and soldiers would come to stop them!
"Dear fellow villagers, these officers and soldiers are so inhumane. They don't want to help me wait. Now they come here and want to suppress us. Let's fight them."
"Yes, how badly have we been harmed by these merchants these days? You just saw us ordinary people being bullied, and now you are helping them do it."
"Listen up, everyone. If these officers and soldiers arrest us, we will collectively go to the palace to cause trouble. I don't believe that Your Majesty will leave us alone."
The people were so angry that they shouted, their eyes full of anger.
These days, they have been really pissed off by this group of profiteers.
But when the officers and soldiers arrived and saw the people like this, they couldn't help but shout anxiously.
"Don't get me wrong, we are not here to cause trouble for you. Master Xu has an order. Recently, profiteers from foreign countries have been doing evil in Kyoto. Let us arrest the profiteers. Everyone, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment now. Master Xu wants to review it in public."
"If the punishment department is full of people, let's go back now and take out all those receipts. Sir, they may be of use."
"In a word, you can't trust us, but you can trust Mr. Xu, right? We see that he avenges the people, right?"
The officers and soldiers came up and spoke hurriedly. He was afraid that the people would really revolt. If this happened outside the palace, it would not be a trivial matter.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were said, the people fell silent and everyone began to whisper.
But someone immediately spoke.
"Folks, this gentleman is right. Even if we don't believe them, we can still trust Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is in Nanyu Mansion to redress the grievances of the people. He would rather offend a great scholar. You must know that he is a Confucian scholar."
"Also, Mr. Xu entered Kyoto, and one of his subordinates was bullied. Mr. Xu would rather destroy his own future than make a fuss in the Ministry of Punishment. He angrily killed the Prince of Huaiping County a few days ago. We are watching this scene.
inner."
"I won't talk about anything else. Master Xu is a really good official in the capital. Now let's go to the Ministry of Punishment. If we are cheated by the merchants, go back and find the receipt. Master Xu will definitely make the decision for us."
The loud voice sounded, and when the people heard it, they immediately started talking.
"Yes, yes, Master Xu is a good official. Master Xu will indeed redress our grievances."
"Well, I believe Mr. Xu. If nothing else, what does Pingqiu Mansion have to do with Mr. Xu? Millions of people died innocently. Mr. Xu can completely ignore it. The case happened decades ago, but Mr. Xu would rather risk offending him.
A prince also wants to redress the grievances of the people, and even invites the Holy Will. We have to believe this alone."
"Okay, I really don't believe in others, but I believe in Mr. Xu! Let's go to the Criminal Department."
"Then let's go back and get the receipt. I'll tell you that Mr. Xu will definitely not ignore us. Let's leave now."
The people opened their mouths and talked a lot.
They hesitated and whispered at first, not because they didn't believe Xu Qingxiao, but because they didn't believe what these officers and soldiers said. It was only by looking at the attitude of these officers and soldiers that everyone believed that they were true.
"Stop talking, let's go to the Punishment Department, and let's support Mr. Xu."
"Master Xu came to the capital to cause trouble in the Ministry of Justice and beheaded the king of the county. Now that this is happening, it stands to reason that Master Xu can no longer come forward. He has already offended many people. But now that Master Xu sees that we are pitiful, he still stands up for us.
"
"We must not let Mr. Xu feel cold. Let's go over and support Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu is the father-in-law of our people and a good official. Mr. Xu must be under great pressure now. If we are still making trouble here,
If we don’t support Master Xu, then are we still human beings?”
Some people shouted loudly, thinking that Xu Qingxiao had done too many things for them, and now they were being attacked from both sides in the court. The Wen Palace of the Great Wei looked down on Xu Qingxiao, the civil servants looked down on Xu Qingxiao, and all the officials looked down on Xu Qingxiao.
In such a difficult situation, Xu Qingxiao still came out to avenge the people. If everyone does not support Xu Qingxiao, who will support Xu Qingxiao?
As soon as these words were said, the people became excited one by one and walked towards the Ministry of Punishment.
Seeing the people leaving in droves, the Beijing soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xu Qingxiao is so prestigious and has won the hearts and minds of the people."
"Yes, when you see Mr. Xu in the future, you must be extremely polite. Although Mr. Xu doesn't have much rank now, people all over the world support him. From now on, he will rise to prominence, and he may become the prime minister one day."
"Well, when we meet Mr. Xu in the future, we must respect him."
The soldiers in the capital were extremely shocked. They really didn't know what to say because of Xu Qingxiao's appeal. He could get the people to follow him with just one sentence. If it were any other minister, the people probably wouldn't listen.
This is terrifying and has won the hearts of the people.
This kind of thing happened not only in Huainan Yamen, but also in Yamen all over Kyoto.
Countless people walked over and headed to the Criminal Department to support Xu Qingxiao.
At the same time, voices appeared in Kyoto one after another.
"Everyone, please stop making trouble. Mr. Xu has redressed our grievances. Go to the Criminal Department quickly."
"Master Xu is under great pressure to avenge me and other people and severely punish profiteers. Everyone, go to the Ministry of Punishment and support Master Xu. If we people don't support Master Xu, no one will support Master Xu."
"Master Xu has completely offended the Confucian and Taoist people, and he has also offended the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. The royal family and nobles also hate Master Xu to death. Why? Why? It's not just to make our people live a better life, let's hurry up
Go to the Punishment Department and support Mr. Xu."
The common people shouted and spread word of mouth, telling everyone to go to the Criminal Department quickly, but some people still spoke, full of doubts.
"Xu Qingxiao didn't support us before, so why does she stand up and speak out again now? Is there something evil going on?"
"Yes, if you don't show up early, you won't show up later, but if you show up at this time, I feel that there are not many good officials."
"Collusion between government and businessmen, this Xu Qingxiao is not a good thing either."
A strange voice sounded, and it seemed strange. Someone did it deliberately to ruin Xu Qingxiao's reputation so that people would not blindly believe it.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately attracted countless scoldings.
"What are you talking about? Lord Xu didn't show up before? Were you blind when they beheaded the county king? Were you deaf when they made a big fuss in the Ministry of Punishment? Can you say this? Are you still not a human being?
?”
"Why didn't Mr. Xu come forward before? It was because he had just killed the county prince, and everyone in the court disliked him, so Mr. Xu really didn't dare to come forward. If he did, Mr. Xu would be gone. You actually said this?
Do you still have a conscience?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu has done too much for us and other people. To be honest, if it weren't for this group of profiteers, I really don't want Mr. Xu to come forward again. Pity me, Mr. Xu."
"Master Xu is so pitiful. He speaks out for us and other people, but is still insulted by you people. Why don't you die? By the way, who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
"Yes, yes, who are you? I haven't seen you before. Are you from our street?"
The people are not stupid. Their first reaction is anger, thinking that Xu Qingxiao has done enough for everyone. The reason why they have not come forward during this period is because Xu Qingxiao has endured too much.
Unexpectedly, there are still people slandering Xu Qingxiao. How can everyone endure it now?
At the same time, as everyone was scolding, someone suddenly realized that these people seemed to be unfamiliar faces. After questioning them carefully, the face of the person who had just spoken suddenly changed and he wanted to run away, but was stopped by the people.
Don't let them go, life or death.
"Everyone, I'm just a little bit tongue-tied. I'm a tourist. I'm a tourist."
"Yes, yes, we don't know what the situation is. We just talked nonsense. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
When these people saw that public opinion was wrong, they trembled with fear and immediately begged for mercy, telling everyone that they were just talking casually.
"Talk about whatever you want? You can say whatever you want, Mr. Xu. Are you allowed to talk nonsense? I think you have evil intentions. Capture him and hand him over to Mr. Xu later."
"Yes, yes, catch him. Mr. Xu is a man of integrity and works hard for us and other people. You still want to discredit us, Mr. Xu? Are you human?"
"They are definitely not tourists. They must have been caught unexpectedly and sent to the government office."
The common people reprimanded one after another. They were not stupid. They immediately discovered that there was something wrong with this group of people, so they immediately caught them and reported them to the official.
"Everyone, listen to me. Master Xu is a good official. Let none of us question this. If he is not a good official, then who in the entire Wei Dynasty dares to say that he is a good official?"
"A person who dares to denounce a great Confucian for the people, a person who dares to cause trouble in the Ministry of Justice for the people, a person who dares to kill the king for the people, will he be greedy for money? No! Will he please the businessmen? No! He will not even please the emperor.
Are you going to please a group of profiteers?"
"Someone is spreading rumors and wants to harm our Mr. Xu. We must not be fooled. If anyone dares to say a bad word about Mr. Xu again, he will be taken to the Yamen directly and let them know. Don't let Mr. Xu feel cold!"
"If this chills Mr. Xu's heart, who will support us ordinary people in the future? Who will speak for us ordinary people again?"
Someone roared, instantly sensing something was wrong, and called on everyone to support Xu Qingxiao.
And the people responded one by one.
"Master Xu, he is a good official! We support him!"
"Let's go to the Criminal Department and stop talking."
"Damn it, whoever dares to scold Mr. Xu again will have my butcher's knife cut off his head. He's really not a fucking thing."
The support from the people is almost unprecedented.
And at this moment.
In Kyoto.
At this moment, all the merchants were as if they had seen a ghost. They were running around. When the soldiers saw the merchants, they would arrest them, and they would take them directly to the Ministry of Punishment regardless of who they were.
These merchants ran to people's homes in an attempt to escape, but were immediately arrested. When many people saw this, they stood outside and shouted for Beijing soldiers to arrest them.
Countless merchants were arrested, and all of them complained a lot, but there were also some arrogant ones.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know who is behind me? Do you dare to arrest me? You are dead!"
"Our envoy will be here soon. Which of you dares to arrest me? Believe it or not, I will tell our envoy to go to His Majesty and submit a copy of your Ministry of War."
"You guys, how dare you catch me? Do you want to die?"
The merchants were confused. Yesterday they could do business in Kyoto without restraint, acting arrogantly and domineeringly.
But today, he suddenly became a street rat and everyone shouted for beating him. Who can bear this?
Being timid and afraid, they keep saying that they have done nothing wrong and that they are just passing by.
The bold one is still fierce, arrogant and domineering, and thinks he is the king of heaven.
"Shut up, I."
The Beijing soldiers kicked him up, pointed at Fanshang who kept shouting and cursed angrily.
"If you fucking say one more thing, I will chop you to death, do you believe it or not? You are like a dog, do you really think of this place as your home?"
"This is Da Wei! It's you who should get out!"
The Beijing soldiers were also angry. During this period, they patrolled the streets and saw with their own eyes that many people were bullied by these merchants.
They are angry!
They are also angry.
But what can be done? There was an order from above not to allow them to arrest people, and they even had to favor them.
The anger in their stomachs caused them to have a lot of growths on their faces during this period.
Unexpectedly, this happiness came so suddenly. The superiors suddenly issued an order to arrest people?
Now the Beijing soldiers were excited and rushed out one by one, even more passionate than on the battlefield.
If you see Fan Shang, you will be arrested. If you dare to make a noise, you will be slapped twice. If you don’t accept it? If you don’t accept it, you will be slapped twice.
If you still don’t accept it? If you don’t accept it, you’ll be beaten to death.
"Okay! That's right! This is Wei, and it's these people who should get out!"
"If you do a good job, you should be beaten to death."
"Our Wei soldiers are still bloody."
The people on both sides cheered and even clapped, cheering for the Beijing soldiers.
And this group of Beijing soldiers became even more excited in an instant, and a sense of honor came over them. What did they do as soldiers? To protect their families and the country, could it be that they really wanted to collect military rations.
What does it mean to protect one's home and country? Protect one's own people, and at the same time, you also want to be praised by the people.
Now that the people are praising him like this, how can they not be excited? How can they not be excited?
"Everyone, Mr. Xu has said that these profiteers will be severely punished. Just wait for the good news. Mr. Xu also said that if anyone is cheated by these profiteers, they should go back and get the receipt."
"We are all businessmen. The one who is really under the pressure is Mr. Xu. The power behind these profiteers is growing. Whether they can be completely eradicated is not something we can say, nor Mr. Xu. It is up to you.
Said."
"Common people, I was raised by my parents and am a citizen of the Wei Dynasty, but today I must say something heartfelt. These foreign tribes are dominating our Wei Dynasty. Today, Sir, please stand up for us!
Justice for us!"
"You must support Mr. Xu. If you don't support Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu's heart will really be chilled."
The soldiers from the capital opened their mouths and said all kinds of good things for Xu Qingxiao.
After hearing this, the people couldn't help but burst into tears. After all, there are not many good officials who can stand up for the people nowadays.
soon.
The merchants were sent to the Ministry of Punishment in batches.
The inside and outside of the Criminal Department, including the dozens of streets outside, were packed with people. They were all people who came to watch and support Xu Qingxiao. At a glance, it was not an exaggeration to see hundreds of thousands of people.
Fortunately, the Beijing soldiers had left some people behind beforehand, thus clearing a way.
All the merchants were escorted over one after another, and they walked into the punishment department one after another, while the people on both sides cursed loudly.
"A group of female businessmen, do you really think that no one can control you?"
"What a bunch of dogs. Master Xu will definitely punish you severely."
"You are so arrogant, why don't you continue to be arrogant?"
"Boss, what about your arrogance yesterday? Why don't you speak now?"
"Master Xu, we must punish these profiteers."
The common people roared angrily, and some even threw vegetable leaves directly at these profiteers, but they still could not understand their hatred.
To be able to arouse such hatred shows how many things these merchants have done that make everyone angry.
Outside the Ministry of Punishment.
Set up a court!
At the main table, Xu Qingxiao sat.
On the left are Zhang Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Gu Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry!
On the right sits Zhou Yan, Minister of War.
Six ministers and three ministers attended.
Xu Qingxiao presided over the trial.
This shows how big this posture is.
Not to mention the capital of the Wei Dynasty, countless spies have been frantically sending messages back, and the entire Wei Dynasty's dignitaries are paying attention to this matter.
Three ministers heard the case.
Xu Qingxiao presided over the trial holding the Great Neilong Talisman.
No matter what the result is today, the Wei Dynasty will be boiling again.
Fanshangs were arrested one after another. Even if only the leader was arrested, three to four hundred people were arrested. Fortunately, this was set up outside the Ministry of Punishment. If it were inside the Ministry of Punishment, there would be no room for review.
There are more and more people, and common people are gathering. Even if they are dozens of streets apart, there are still people who stand and look at each other, letting the people in front pass the news.
By the end, there were seven or eight hundred people in Fanshang, and all of them were big bosses, and the remaining small bosses were all besieged elsewhere.
There is no qualification to enter at all.
He glanced at the sky.
Xu Qingxiao took a sip of tea and was not in a hurry because the real character hadn't arrived yet.
