"Father! Don't you think your Majesty will trace the person behind this disaster?" Hou Junji, who was kneeling on the ground, his face twisted, gritted his teeth and asked sternly at the eunuch who delivered the order.
After hearing this, the eunuch who delivered the order put away the oracle, moved a few steps to the side, and waited for Hou Junji to kneel in the direction. Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Master Shangshu, your Majesty's thoughts are beyond the control of my subordinates.
Coveting? Now that His Majesty’s decree has arrived, it’s better for Sir Shangshu to get up quickly and act in accordance with the decree first.”
"According to the order? Your Majesty wants me to deal with them personally?" Hou Junji gritted his teeth and looked back at the officials of the Ministry of War who were captured by him.
In the past, when those officials looked at him, it could be said that they were in awe. But now, they turned into three parts disgust, three parts anger, and six parts indifference!
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, Hou Junji immediately stopped the riot and escorted them to plead guilty, which was the most correct decision!
But in the eyes of the people in the Ministry of War, Hou Junji has become a traitor! A despicable villain who sold them in exchange for a lighter punishment!
"If our Minister of War is still General Li Jing, then he will definitely stand with us instead of grabbing his own men and coming to claim credit!"
A low cold snort came from the officials of the Ministry of War, and Hou Junji in front of him heard his face turn green and white. He also knew that after this incident, he had lost not only his reputation as Minister, but also the entire staff of the Ministry of War.
The hearts of all officials!
"I want to see Your Majesty! Please tell me, sir!" A pair of fists were slowly clenched, and Hou Junji stood up suddenly, cupping his fists and saluting the eunuch who had delivered the message!
He wants to see the emperor! Not to complain, but to catch the person behind him! Only in this way can the resentment of the military department be diverted from him!
Unfortunately, the eunuch who delivered the order seemed to have received the instructions a long time ago. When he saw this, he just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty is not seeing anyone right now. We will talk about everything until the meeting tomorrow."
A simple sentence, but it blocked all Hou Junji's thoughts! Moreover, Hou Junji felt a greater fear in his heart while feeling disappointed!
Meeting tomorrow?
He has heard this word twice! The emperor emphasized the meeting tomorrow so much, so what will happen at the meeting tomorrow?
——————
The riot started by the Ministry of War in the morning lasted only for a short time and was completely put down. It did not even affect the neighbors next to the Marquis Mansion in Xiangcheng.
But what many people didn't expect was that at this time, there was an even bigger riot, which was slowly brewing in the hearts of countless Chang'an people!
The time slowly came to noon, and what was being discussed in the streets of Chang'an Street at this time was not the unlucky Marquis of Xiangcheng who was dismissed from office, nor the spectacular scene of the Ministry of War collectively being punished, but the poem that had been circulated.
A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return in ten years!
One poem, ten words, describes the cruelty and helplessness of the battlefield, and also makes people remember again the Tang Dynasty Army God Li Jing who once led the Tang Dynasty to attack Huanglong!
"I heard that after General Li Jing came back, he was framed by a traitor and has been idle at home! But even so, there are still people who will not let him go and want to kill him!"
"Yes! I heard about it early this morning! The general's brother was injured last night. The general went there, but he was ambushed and surrounded by people. If it weren't for the general's martial arts, this time it would have been a disaster.
!”
"Who is that bastard!"
"I heard that he is a child of an aristocratic family. I heard that his surname is Wang and he lives in Taipingfang!"
"Damn it! He's a kid from an aristocratic family again! He was reincarnated so well, so he just stayed at home and waited for death. Why do he always come out and jump around! Aren't you afraid of having your legs broken?"
People are all emotional animals!
Especially after learning that the hero was neglected after his return, the Chang'an people felt extremely guilty!
Now he learned that someone else wanted to hurt him! This guilt quickly evolved into deep anger! Driven by anger, some people couldn't help but want to find this situation for Li Jing.
Let’s go! Find him!”
When one bird enters the forest, hundreds of birds silence the sound!
With the first one starting, the others immediately followed indiscriminately!
At this time, reason had no effect. No matter how Li Jing was injured, they only knew that Li Jing was injured, or at the hands of a noble family member, and that was enough!
Taipingfang
As a village close to the roots of the imperial city, those who can live here are basically the families of wealthy families and officials.
Therefore, it is always quiet on weekdays. It will never be like Datongfang, with people coming and going and the sound of cars.
However, just today, this tranquility was completely broken by a group of people!
"right here!"
A young man who claimed to be the third uncle of the family's seventh uncle's niece pointed to a vermilion door and shouted: "That person lives here!"
"Punch it in!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, several men in short shirts behind him shouted impatiently, hugged their shoulders, and ran towards the door.
"Crack!"
There was a sound of wood splintering, and two thick vermilion doors opened in response! One of the doors was hit so hard that even the door shaft was broken, and it hung diagonally on the door frame, making a loud sound.
A squeaky whine.
"Come on!"
Looking at the open door, someone in the crowd roared, and then, like a tide, the angry crowd poured into the door.
"Who? What happened!"
Behind the door, several people dressed as servants heard the sound and hurried over. When they saw the crowd pouring in like a tide, they were stunned and so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
Of course, they soon stopped talking, because the angry crowd drowned them in the crowd in the next second.
"What's the noise?"
In the backyard of the house, a sturdy man who looked like a foreigner heard the noise, climbed up from the recliner, frowned and asked.
A pair of maids who were fanning next to them, some of whom were sleepy, heard this and quickly cheered up. They shook their heads and said, "I don't know."
"I don't know? Where's the housekeeper? Housekeeper!" The foreign man glared at the two maids. He was about to jump up from the lounge chair and go to the front yard to have a look, but unexpectedly the housekeeper rushed in through the moon door while crawling!
"Master, it's not good! A group of thugs went crazy and rushed into our house, beating everyone they saw! All the servants in the house were knocked down. Master, you'd better get out of here!"
"What?"
Hearing the steward's urgent words, the foreign man's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
"Who are they? What grudges do they have against us?!"
"I don't know! I just heard that they want to deal with a family member named Wang!"
"A son of a noble family named Wang? Wang Shilong? Doesn't that Sangmenxing live across from our house?"
