At noon, I finally approached Fucheng. It was different from the scene I had seen before when I came here. It was obvious that Fucheng's defenses were much tighter, and the number of pedestrians on the road was also much sparse.
News of the civil uprising in Chenliu County had been conveyed as early as two days ago, but many people did not pay much attention to it. The Daji Dynasty has been in existence for ten thousand years and has been strong for thousands of years. It is just a small rebellion and can be easily captured.
The sound of laughter can still be heard from time to time along the way.
The people thought this way, and the government did not dare to underestimate the enemy and arranged troops to suppress the rebellion early. However, with thousands of troops, scheduling became a problem and there were many procedures.
Moreover, not everyone of them has horses, unlike a small group like Wu Yi, who all have horses. Therefore, Wu Yi has arrived in Fucheng at this moment, and the group of people he met at dawn may not have seen Chen yet.
Stay at the head of the county seat!
From a distance, Wu Yi abandoned his horse and approached Chenliu County on foot. Since he was going to bear a thorn to plead guilty, he had to look like he was apologizing and came on horseback. What was he planning to do? Is he going to attack the city by force?
Let others step down, so that you can step down yourself.
Wu Yiling unfolded the food reminder documents issued by the Chenliu County magistrate, as well as the vouchers for secret transactions with the Yang Mansion and other wealthy families, as well as some IOUs owed by the county magistrate to the Yang Mansion.
Wu Yi took the lead, kowtowed three times every ten steps, and together with them, shouted slogans such as "Please make the decision, Your Majesty" and "Punish corrupt officials".
Yes, you are asking your Majesty to make the decision, not the government official. The magistrate of Chenliu County asked the emperor to provide food for free, but at the same time he strictly required the people to pay for the food. He deceived the superiors and concealed the information from the inferiors. This was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
Keep this in mind, even if your trip is dangerous, it must be a case of great significance. Before the imperial envoy arrives, your life will definitely not be in danger. As for the pain of your skin and flesh, it is inevitable.
As for the second slogan, yes, it is about punishing corrupt officials. It gives the impression that the magistrate of Chenliu County was not killed. Wu Yi didn’t know whether the magistrate of Chenliu County was dead when he reported the news to the capital, but this
It's never wrong to say that.
Dozens of people behaved like this, and curious people gathered around to watch. Some of them, who were knowledgeable about important matters, left in a hurry as if they were caught in a fire. Only some ordinary people with flat heads were really watching from one side.
"The county magistrate Chenliu deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from the subordinates. He was treasonous and unethical. He violated the benevolence of heaven and betrayed the people. He colluded with the evil gentry, seized land and grain, built a large number of prisons, and killed innocent people indiscriminately..." A series of catchy four-character sentences,
The story of the civil uprising in Chenliu County was sung to the people nearby.
Sure enough, after knowing about it, many people expressed sympathy for the so-called rabbit's death and the fox's sorrow. As a result, more and more people gathered, and as many as two to three hundred people gathered.
However, soon, the garrison at the top of the city saw something strange and ordered the soldiers to check. Seeing this, they knew that the situation was out of control and did not dare to take control. They drove away the people watching the excitement and sent a small team to watch Wu Yi and others.
Abnormal movement.
Wu Yi ignored these soldiers and continued to hold up evidence and chant those slogans to move forward.
The leading soldier tried to stop him several times, but to no avail. He couldn't help but widen his eyes, drew his long sword, pointed at Wu Yi and said: "Thieves turban, if you don't listen to the guard's orders, the Za family will kill you here, so it doesn't matter!"
Wu Yi did not give in at all, and walked up to the knife edge, with an attitude of not fearing death, "Corrupt officials are in power, dirty officials are rampant, you are a dignified man in armor, the knife is not aimed at these people, but you are actually attacking a scholar who has no power to bind a chicken.
How can you get the monthly salary?"
After cleansing the tendons and cutting the marrow, the body was not only painful from beating, but also had a loud voice, full of energy, and the sound was like thunder. For a while, he even shouted back the soldier. The soldier felt ashamed and said: "Da Wen
"Jin, maybe you think that the Za family really doesn't dare to take your life."
The blade of the knife was close to his neck, with a cold light that made people's hair stand on end. Wu Yi smiled contemptuously and took out the emperor's imperial edict in reply to the Chenliu County Magistrate from his chest. The general idea was to praise the Chenliu County Magistrate for his consideration of the people's sentiments and his ability to ask for orders for the people.
But the emperor probably didn't expect that he would actually praise such a disaster.
"This is the holy decree. Magistrate Chenliu has committed a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven! If you dare to cut it down, you will be guilty of the same crime!" Wu Yi took the chicken feathers as arrows and continued his march without saying anything to the soldiers.
The soldier looked at Wu Yi's back, and the long sword he raised was trembling. Finally, he had no choice but to put it back into the scabbard, and followed Wu Yi as if to protect Wu Yi. In this way, many people observing from a distance
The people came closer again, pointing and making noises.
To be a chess piece, you must have the consciousness of a chess piece. Wu Yi understood that his first step had been successful.
Civil uprising, emperor's deception, bullying, any point is a huge event, not to mention, this time, all the problems broke out in an instant, no matter where they are, it is a serious political event.
The Yangmin Mansion responded quickly. There is no doubt that this matter happened under their own rule. Liu Bingzhong and Liu Fuzun should consider themselves unlucky. Even if there are people in the government, this matter will become a huge stain on his political resume.
The person who came was not Liu Fuzun himself, but he was also the second-in-command of Yangmin Mansion. It was Yangmin Mansion's Qian Tongpan, an old man who was about to retire. The Tongpan was responsible for monitoring the government's administration and checking and balancing each other.
Qian Tongpan originally thought that after finishing his job safely, he would retire and return to his hometown. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing. As soon as he heard the news, he rushed here in a hurry.
Perhaps there was chaos in the middle of the rush, and Qian Tongpan did not inquire clearly. He was so anxious that his white beard was trembling, and he wanted to suppress the matter. As soon as it happened, he indiscriminately asked the soldiers to capture Wu Yi and others and take them to the prison for detention.
The soldiers looked at each other in shock and made no move. The old commander was so angry that he jumped on his feet.
The leading soldier pointed to the decree in Wu Yi's hand and expressed his concerns.
A bit of light burst out from the old judge's cloudy eyes. After all, he was a man who was experienced in government affairs. After he was relieved, he understood the seriousness of the problem and no longer used force, but let Wu Yi continue to march and make trouble.
It's no big deal if it's a joke.
He "invited" Wu Yi and others to enter the post station to rest and wait for Liu Bingzhong and Liu Fuzun to handle the matter. Originally, he should not be in charge of such a big matter. He only needs to take charge and deliver a note to the emperor to say what he saw and heard.
Anything will do.
Anyway, the trouble was over, the city was full of uproar, and his goal had been achieved. Wu Yi did not continue to resist, and entered the inn to wait for the subsequent trial.
Judge Lao Tong knew that Wu Yi was the leader, so he sat next to Wu Yi, talking about other things, and insinuating things about Chenliu County.
When Wu Yi said he was hungry, Lao Tongpan was not annoyed, but he happily ordered several tables of delicious food and entertained Wu Yi with great care.
After eating, the moment Wu Yi opened his mouth, someone outside the door shouted, "The Master is here!"
