Today, there was a scene of "empty streets" in the Imperial City. The streets were deserted and deserted, with almost no one in sight. The stores on both sides of the street were also closed. Even Rishang Sangan was not open for business...
Where have everyone gone?
The answer is very simple. Everyone is going to the suburban square. Today is the annual "Pilgrimage Festival". Just by the name, you can tell that this festival is awesome. There are three major festivals in the secret realm, namely the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival and the Pilgrimage Festival.
The Pilgrimage Festival is to commemorate the founder of the secret realm! It is held every year, and the scene is very spectacular.
In the past, the population of the secret realm was small, so everyone gathered together to celebrate the Pilgrimage Festival every year. Later, as the population increased, it became difficult to celebrate the festival together, so everyone celebrated separately. Although they were separated, the scene was still lively.
The Pilgrimage Festival is a festival for everyone, even more important than the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival. Early in the morning, all the people in the imperial city gathered in the suburban square. From a height, it looked densely packed with heads.
Several rows of seats have been set up in the middle of the square. These seats are prepared for officials. Every year during the Pilgrimage Festival, many officials will come out to celebrate with the people, euphemistically called "having fun with the people!"
Ma Xiaoyao mobilized a large number of guards to maintain the safety of the scene. He stood in the center of the square, his eyes like lightning slowly scanned the surroundings, and his fingers trembled rhythmically. There were so many people present today! Ma Xiaoyao
He exclaimed in his heart, and later he decided to do something big, which might ruin the atmosphere of the scene.
If he hadn't been forced to do so, Ma Xiaoyao wouldn't have wanted to disrupt the pilgrimage festival.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, officials began to enter one after another. Ma Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows and hurriedly turned around to hide because he saw Prince Long...
As Prince Long walked, he glanced around, seemingly looking for someone.
"Stop looking, I just saw Ma Xiaoyao running away." Prince Tiger said.
"This bastard!" Prince Long cursed secretly: "More cunning and cunning than a fox!"
"Prince Long, you are incompetent as a father." Prince Tiger said with a smile: "When my son Hu Wei was arrested by Ma Xiaoyao, you still made sarcastic remarks and said that I was incompetent in raising my son. Who knew that within a few days,
Your son Long Fei was also arrested by Ma Xiaoyao, and the things Long Fei committed were much more serious than my son..."
"What on earth do you want to say!" The Dragon Prince stared at the Tiger Prince with a gloomy face.
"I just want to say... We are two incompetent, neither of us is a qualified father. From now on, we should not try to compete with each other," said the Tiger Prince.
"Hmph! When Long Fei comes back, I will punish him severely and put him in confinement for at least a year. If he doesn't get rid of all his bad habits, he will never come out." Prince Long snorted.
"Long Fei is tragic." Prince Tiger sighed.
"What do you mean? You cursed my son?" The Dragon Prince gave the Tiger Prince a fierce look.
"I didn't curse your son." Prince Tiger waved his hand hurriedly: "What I mean is... this boy Long Fei has been spoiled by you since he was a child. He is arrogant and domineering, and has developed a arrogant temper. Even if you close him
Even after ten years of confinement, it is impossible for him to change."
Prince Long's face darkened: "You look down on Long Fei and me! Just wait for me, I will definitely surprise you! Since I can give birth to a son, I can discipline him, unlike you who can only give birth to a son."
Sons don’t know how to raise sons, and Huwei is going to get into big trouble sooner or later, so maybe you can send a white-haired person to a black-haired person."
"Why are you talking so rudely!" Prince Tiger became angry: "Don't think that since today is the Pilgrimage Festival, I won't dare to beat you!"
"Come on, I've been holding in a lot of anger and can't release it. I just want to vent my anger on you." Prince Long sneered.
"You..." Prince Tiger was trembling with anger.
Just when the two were about to take action, a shout came from the distance: "The Emperor has arrived!!!"
Jin Tianwei is here, and he actually comes to participate in the pilgrimage festival. It is really unexpected. As soon as Jin Tianwei comes, the Tiger Prince and the Dragon Prince will definitely not be able to fight. The two of them glared at each other, and then raised their feet to greet Jin Tianwei.
No matter how much you hate Jin Tianwei in your heart, you must respect him on the surface. This is a rule and no one can break it.
Jin Tianwei arrived at the center of the square surrounded by everyone, then climbed onto the high platform that had been prepared long ago, and then began to speak. Jin Tianwei used his energy to make his voice loud and clear, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
After casually speaking a few words, Jin Tianwei solemnly announced: "The annual pilgrimage festival has officially begun! Let's pray together and have fun together! Today is a day for everyone to enjoy, and everyone must play.
Have fun, have fun!"
"Your Majesty, I have a grievance!" As soon as Jin Tianwei finished speaking, a gray-haired old man rushed in, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly, saying that he had a grievance.
"Your Majesty, I too have been wronged!" An old lady also knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me..."
"Your Majesty, my relative was killed by a villain, please seek justice for me!"
"Help me get justice!"
"I don't want to live anymore!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't avenge me today, I will crash to death here."
…
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were kneeling on the ground, including men and women, old and young. They all cried out that they had been wronged and asked Jin Tianwei to help them get justice.
Jin Tianwei was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He twitched the corner of his mouth: "You all get up, get up and talk..."
"Your Majesty, if you don't give me justice today, I will die on my knees here." A middle-aged man cried.
"Yes, we won't get up if we don't get justice!" Others shouted.
"I promise that I will definitely help you get justice. You have to believe me." Jin Tianwei tried to make his tone calmer: "You all get up and speak. You are all my people. I will definitely help you get justice."
Yes, everyone, get up."
With Jin Tianwei's repeated assurances, this group of people finally stood up. If they were not forced to do so, they would not want to kneel down.
"Tell me what grievances you have. Tell them one by one. Don't argue. Since I'm here today, I will definitely give you an explanation." Jin Tianwei promised.
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Long Fei, the son of Prince Long. He wanted to molest my wife because he thought she was good-looking. When my wife refused, she was beaten to death by this bastard Long Fei. Afterwards, I went to the government to report the case. Who knew?
The government officials didn't accept the case at all, and finally kicked me out."
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Hu Wei, Prince Tiger's son. He stole my family's ancestral antiques and severely injured my mother. She is still bedridden..."
"Your Majesty, I want to sue Luo Zhan, the son of Marquis Xingbin. He galloped on the street and not only knocked over my stall, but also broke my legs..."
…
Hundreds of common people spoke to each other, and the targets of their accusations were all the children of the powerful men of the day.
Jin Tianwei's face immediately turned gloomy...
The faces of Prince Long and others also became ugly...
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly jumped out, holding a lot of white paper in his hand: "I can prove that what these people said is true. What I hold in my hand is evidence. The children of some powerful people are really
It's so lawless, relying on the power of the fathers to act recklessly, bullying the weak, and disregarding human life, they are simply scum! Please judge impartially and severely punish these heinous dandies!"
"Ma Xiaoyao!" A trace of anger flashed in Jin Tianwei's eyes. He finally understood... All of this today was clearly directed by Ma Xiaoyao. This was an attempt to force the palace, using the power of the common people to put pressure on Jin Tianwei, you Ma Xiaoyao.
, you are so capable!
"Ma Xiaoyao, you bastard!"
"Do you want to die?"
"You bastard, I swear I will kill you!"
"Did you find these people? Did you instruct them behind the scenes to frame my son!?"
…
A group of powerful people accused and cursed Ma Xiaoyao one after another, and the scene almost got out of control.
"Shut up, everyone!"
At the critical moment, it was Jin Tianwei who shocked the audience. He scanned the surroundings like lightning: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, I will take off his head!"
"Crash..."
A group of guards wearing armor surrounded them from all directions. All the guards had their weapons drawn. As long as Jin Tianwei gave an order, they would start to carry out ruthless massacres.
"Your Majesty, it is clearly Ma Xiaoyao who is behind this. These people have also been bribed by Ma Xiaoyao. What he said cannot be trusted at all!" Prince Long said loudly.
"I have evidence in my hand. Once the emperor sees it, he will know whether I am talking nonsense or not." Ma Xiaoyao said neither humble nor arrogant.
"Ma Xiaoyao!" Prince Long glared at Ma Xiaoyao, exuding a strong murderous aura: "Are you really going to break up with me?" This was Chi Guoguo's threat.
Ma Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "I have risked my life today. As long as I can redress the injustice of the common people and eliminate harm to the secret realm, I can rest in peace even if I die!"
"You..." Prince Long was so angry that he was speechless. A person is not even afraid of death. What else is there to be afraid of?
"Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for us!"
"Your Majesty, you are the lord of all peoples, you are the embodiment of justice. If you don't make the decision for us, then we will have no choice but to die."
"Your Majesty..."
In just a short period of time, hundreds of people were kneeling on the ground. Without exception, they were all accusing the children of the powerful men of the day.
"Your Majesty, you can't listen to only one side. This is a trap, and the main messenger is Ma Xiaoyao!"
"Ma Xiaoyao deserves to be punished for his crime. Please order the emperor to execute Ma Xiaoyao!"
"Ma Xiaoyao is a bastard. He directed this scene. Your Majesty must be aware of everything."
"Your Majesty..."
…
The dignitaries of the day also complained one after another that someone wanted to deal with their children, how could they just sit back and ignore it?
