The wind is getting stronger and stronger, bringing dark clouds all over the sky.
People from all directions gathered towards the Jingzhao Government Office due to the gongs and drums of the Beifu soldiers. New groups of militiamen walked out of the west gate of the Jingzhao Government Office at the right time and walked along the majestic Yong'an Ancient Capital Long Street towards the capital.
Walk along dozens of main avenues.
Outside the Taifu's Mansion, a group of Beifu soldiers came from the northwest. The sound of the gong gradually approached. When they arrived outside the eaves of the Taifu's Mansion, the soldiers who were beating the gong stopped. After they had completely passed by, they sounded again.
An Yuzhi listened to the sound of the gong and said, "Is it someone from the government who is beating the gong?"
The butler nodded: "Yes, sir."
"Militia, patrol guards, or government guards?" An Yuzhi asked again.
"It's from the Beifu soldiers." the steward replied.
An Yuzhi said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.
The militiamen of the Beifu soldiers did the most tiring and boring work, such as the practice of beating gongs before public trials, which was only started a hundred years ago. This requires people to beat the gongs in the streets and alleys.
I don’t know who is on trial today. There are so many people who have committed crimes recently.
After another incense burnt out, An Yuzhi looked at the fallen ashes and asked, "Is it time yet?"
The housekeeper nodded: "It should be."
"Okay," An Yuchi said, "go get the mourning clothes that have been prepared in advance. You can also prepare the white curtain hanging curtains, mourning sticks and flowers in the mansion."
"Yes." The butler said sadly.
An Yuzhi got up and walked out. Then he came out of the courtyard and saw An Yudao running in a panic: "Brother, brother, it's not good!"
"What's the matter?" An Yuzhi asked.
"Father is not in the house!" An Yudao said with a bleak expression, "The study was in a mess. It had been disturbed. Father is missing!"
An Yuchi was shocked: "What, what about Uncle Liu?"
"Uncle Liu was knocked unconscious last night and was frozen outside all night. Now he only has half a life left."
"Go!" An Yuzhi said angrily.
More and more people gathered at Jingzhaofu Yamen.
Liang Nai took a nap in the back office.
Yesterday was a busy day, and he encountered such collisions on the street, which made him have nightmares last night. He was very sleepy now, so he took the time to rest.
Zhu Xian was reading the copy and wanted to tear it up.
Those who will be put on public trial later are the poor and homeless people who made a big fuss in Yanyunwei Mansion before. Many court officials will come there, including Lu Ronghui, and they only need to sit there with airs like Liang Nai.
That's all. The job of presiding over the situation is done by him, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion.
The process and judgment were already in his hands, but Zhu Xian wanted to vomit and didn't want to judge like this at all.
Director Wei sat next to him for a long time. Seeing his appearance, he said, "Don't you want to take the hat off your head again?"
"That's what I meant." Zhu Xian said coldly.
"But you can't take it off now. The court is about to start, unless you are willing to take your head off too." Wei Zhizhang said.
Zhu Xian did not speak. After a long time, he said in a very low voice: "Why can right and wrong be reversed like this? Li Dongyan has been released, but these unarmed people are going to be beheaded."
"It is a fact that they rushed into the Yanyun Guards Mansion, and it is also a fact that they killed several imperial officers."
"The people who took action first were the people from Yanyun Weifu."
"The lives of a few untouchables, the adults of Yanyun Wei Mansion feel dirty even if they take action, how dare you fight back?" Wei Zheng sneered at the corner of his lips.
"There are also those girls who were taken away by people. Many of them have not been found," Zhu Xian's voice was a little hoarse. "Perhaps many girls have been sold to the countryside to become the wives of lame and blind men."
Wei raised his eyebrows and had difficulty pronouncing the words: "It's very possible."
"The world is really blind," Zhu Xian looked back at the verdict in his hand, "and I have worked hard to study and be an official, but now I don't even have the ability to protect them."
"Just listen to it," Wei Zheng said, "This is the way of the world in ancient and modern times. Yi Ya cooked his son and offered minced rice for a long time. Not only did Duke Huan not blame him, he also regarded him as a confidant. You think there are other ridiculous things in this world that cannot be accepted.
?”
"Absurd thing... there are more than two hundred good heads," Zhu Xian looked at the name above and said softly, "They will fall today, and there will be another river of blood."
Manager Wei looked at the paper in Zhu Xian's hand, curled his lips into a smile, and said nothing.
In fact, is it a big head?
In terms of human life, maybe, but as far as those in power are concerned, the fewer the better, really
It's better to just kill him.
There have always been countless struggles in prosperous and troubled times, which is sad to say.
Wei Zheng withdrew his gaze and continued working.
At four o'clock in the morning, the sun still hadn't risen, and dark clouds had settled down in a thick layer, as if it was threatening to rain.
Thousands of soldiers in silver-white armor separated the gathered people in all directions and drew a thoroughfare leading to the middle section of Imperial Street.
Officials in court uniforms were carried out of the palace on sedan chairs and headed to Daping Square.
One after another, magnificent.
Guards followed on both sides, and behind them, hundreds of criminals, dressed in thin clothes and with long shackles on their hands, staggered around.
The people on both sides looked at them, some smiled and gave advice, some were filled with grief and anger, some were numb and indifferent, and there were also sounds of crying. Many girls followed them on both sides, crying and calling for their mother or father.
Several fast horses suddenly chased from behind the crowd: "Master Liang!"
"Sir," the guard following Liang Nai's sedan said, "Tianrong Guards are chasing you."
Liang Nai paused and shouted: "Stop the sedan chair."
Liang Nai walked out of the sedan and watched Tianrong Guard catch up.
The leader of the Tianrong Guards stood up and dismounted: "Master Liang, something has happened. The Emperor has summoned you to the palace."
"Now?" Liang Nai was surprised.
Tianrong Guard came forward and whispered in Liang Nai's ear.
Liang Nai's eyes widened and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Taifu An..."
"Master Liang, let me tell you, follow me into the palace." Tianrong Wei said.
"Okay, okay." Liang Nai responded quickly.
Zhu Xian's sedan was relatively far back, and when the Tianrong Guards passed by him to pursue Liang Nai, he felt a little lucky in his heart. Perhaps Emperor Xuan Yan suddenly realized his conscience and planned to pardon these criminals.
Liang Nai called him out of the sedan chair and whispered in his ear.
Zhu Xian was no less surprised than Liang Nai: "How audacious! How unreasonable!"
"I will go to the palace first," Liang Nai said, "you will take charge of the situation later."
Originally, I was the one presiding over it. Does it make any difference whether you enter the palace or not?
Zhu Xian complained silently, and his expression didn't look much better. He nodded dryly: "Yes, I understand."
Liang Nai's sedan came out of the queue, turned around, and headed towards the palace.
Lu Ronghui was curious in the sedan chair, so he called someone to ask, but nothing came out, so he soon didn't care.
After being an official for so many years, I have long been tired of it. The less government affairs the better, and the less I know about it the better.
