"Sir, do you think this chain is too heavy? Do you want to untie it for you?"
At the entrance of the palace, the punishment carriage of the Ministry of Punishment arrived.
Xia Shang never dreamed that one day he would be locked in a torture car and paraded. Although his head would be covered, there would definitely be many people throwing vegetables and fruits at him, right?
Just like in the TV series?
MGB! This time he became the protagonist!
Xia Shang smiled miserably, but he felt calm in his heart. He had experienced life and death countless times, so how could he care about this little parade?
Xia Shang was very calm, but the officials of the Ministry of Justice were extremely nervous.
Although everyone knows that Mr. Xia killed and arrested several officials of the Ministry of Justice with just one sentence last night, everyone hates Mr. Xia deeply in their hearts, but who dares to show it?
What they fear most now is that a group of killers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will suddenly appear and kill them halfway.
Although Mr. Xiao Xia was imprisoned, anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is a ruthless man with real power in his hands. His official name is just a name, and his power will not be reduced much because he has lost his official name.
If such a person is sent to the Ministry of Justice, he is obviously a hot potato, and the slightest mistake will cause him to get burned.
At this time, the Minister of Punishment had already stopped Prime Minister Fu Yu on the way, sweating profusely and asking what to do.
Fu Yu's answer was very simple. Anyway, he would be locked up first. Everyone in the court could hear him clearly. How to deal with this person next was still up for discussion.
The only thing to worry about is that the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are out of control at this time. If they join forces to rob someone halfway, things will get out of hand.
What's more important is that his daughter Fu Qianqian is still in the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he can't let this matter go wrong.
In order to avoid some unexpected riots, Fu Yu used all the power he could control to monitor Xia Shang's entire route to the Ministry of Justice, and there were countless secret sentries watching every move of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
At this time, Xia Shang had already boarded the prison car, and a very impressive team began to go towards the Ministry of Punishment.
The news must reach the ears of the people, because most people in Kyoto are still afraid to go out because of what happened last night. The best way to appease the people is to catch the culprit and give them an explanation.
The people heard that the mastermind of last night's murder was arrested
After being caught, most people took the rotten eggs, rotten vegetables and other things to the street, ready to humiliate the big devil.
But when the prison car passed by them, there were some strange people beside them. They didn't bring anything with them and didn't say a word. They just looked at people around them who dared to throw things in the direction of the prison car and silently ignored those people.
Tow away.
Therefore, Xia Shang didn't feel anything was wrong.
In his opinion, the people in Kyoto are quite friendly, at least they are not as dirty as he remembered on TV.
Xia Shang's head was covered all the way, and he could not see the indignation of the people, but occasionally he could hear some shouts and curses.
Through the various voices along the way, Xia Shang truly realized that he had done something wrong.
Of course, Xia Shang would not be decadent or blame himself because of his mistakes. He just felt that he should calm down and think about what kind of ending ordinary people most wanted to see.
During this period of time when he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, Xia Shang didn't have to think about other things, he just used it to adjust his mood.
…
The journey was uneventful, and Xia Shang was safely sent to the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment had been waiting at the door for a long time. The moment he saw the prison car coming, he really relaxed. Fortunately, no one from the Metropolitan Procuratorate took action.
However, there were many beggars gathered at the entrance of the Criminal Department, and it was obvious that they were not simply here to beg for food.
Since no beggars are willing to come to the Punishment Department dungeon, today is extremely unusual.
Normally, if a beggar is seen wandering at the entrance of the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment, officials such as jailers will drive him away. Sometimes if he is in a bad mood, he will drag him over and give him a beating.
It was different today. Everyone in the Criminal Department was very nervous. Even though they felt that these beggars had impure intentions, they did not take the initiative to provoke them.
The prison car stopped in front of the dungeon door. Wang Qinghai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, was about to greet him. He didn't want to be surrounded by beggars, so he gathered around them. They all walked to the officers and soldiers, banging their sticks and spreading out the broken bowls in their hands.
"Everyone, please do your best and enjoy your meal..."
"Go away! Are you looking for death?"
It is an extra favor that the officials did not take the initiative to trouble these beggars. Unexpectedly, these ignorant guys were bold enough to take the initiative to get involved, and they were still handing over the prisoners at the most critical moment.
time.
Wang Qinghai realized that something was wrong and shouted: "Be on guard! Anyone who dares to get close will be shot to death!"
"Click rub rub..."
A series of sounds of drawing swords were heard. Dozens of officials around him all showed their weapons. Some were protecting Lord Shangshu, while others were clinging to the prison car.
The knife was indeed a bit of a deterrent, causing the beggars approaching around him to stop in their tracks.
However, after the officials around them saw the situation clearly, everyone suddenly felt a little weak at their feet.
I don't know since when, the streets around the Penal Department have been surrounded by beggars.
This is a T-junction. At the end of the view in three directions, there are without exception dense crowds of beggars. They are all holding sticks and broken bowls full of dirt. They are no different from usual, but those pairs of eyes
But they all have an inexplicable coldness, like rats coming out of the sewer, swarming in groups, making people feel hairy all over.
At a quick glance, I guess there are thousands of people gathered here!
In this case, even a fool would know that this is not a coincidence. These beggars must have ulterior motives.
We can end it all smoothly right before our eyes, so how can we fall short here?
These beggars usually don't look good, but when there are so many gathered together, there are only thirty or forty of them, and they can't kill them all even if they stand still.
Wang Qinghai whispered to the person next to him: "Inform the Prime Minister and send reinforcements as soon as possible."
The guards around him took the order, put their feet down, and flew into the air in an instant.
It turns out that among these humble guards there are extraordinary masters.
However, just as the guard jumped up, a wooden stick flew out of nowhere in the air. With a pop, the guard was knocked down and fell heavily to the ground. His thigh had already been pierced by the wooden stick.
Wang Qinghai was shocked. How could he have thought that there were hidden masters among these beggars?
At this time, a strange man wearing a huge robe walked out from the group of beggars not far away. His whole body was hidden under the robe. Not even a hair could be seen. The only thing that could be seen was his withered hands holding a
of an ordinary stick.
The man did not speak, but walked slowly towards the prison car. With every step he took, the officials near the prison car felt the pressure on them increase.
Gradually, everyone's backs were wet with cold sweat.
