Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 584 Who will have the last laugh

The mornings in Xijing City are very lively. When there is a hint of light in the sky, there are already many people on the street. Those who do early business will basically choose this time to set up their stalls.

Mr. Li stood on the street and looked at the ten or so people around him. His heart was filled with chills.If you said something good the night before, you will change it if you say it, and you won’t come if you can’t, and you don’t even say hello.

He sighed softly, even if there were only these few people left, he wouldn't worry, anyway, those who were wronged were the ones who were wronged, and he firmly believed that justice was on his side.In this confrontation, they are the ones who will have the last laugh.

"Let's go!"

Master Li nodded towards the colleagues who came, and walked in the front of the group with his head raised.

Today they deliberately wore court clothes and held wat boards, with serious and sad expressions, in order to appear solemn and let everyone see how much they attach importance to this matter.

Walking to the front of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and climbing up the third step in unison, everyone raised the wat boards in their hands and kneeled straight in a row.

The people in Xijing City were also very lively. They were very curious to see so many elders kneeling at the gate of the prison. It didn't take long for hundreds of people to surround them.Everyone whispered, some of them recognized these people, and they were all guessing what happened to make these adults do such a thing.

Although Lord Li was kneeling, he was also paying attention to the movement around him. He heard the voices of the people talking, and knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had come.He cleared his throat, shouted "wronged" loudly, and felt the surroundings suddenly quiet down.

As a member of the Yushitai, he is still a capable general. Master Li usually jumps his feet in the hall to participate in this and that. The words were clearly stated, and the onlookers were clearly told that Cai and Li were in such a difficult situation, they were completely framed, and they were unwarranted charges.As people with conscience, they must seek justice for their colleagues.

"I request Your Majesty to investigate the truth and severely punish those who spread rumors!"

"The ministers request His Majesty to investigate the truth and severely punish those who spread rumors!"

The censors of Yushitai kowtowed to the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and shouted, until they kowtowed ten times, this wave was over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they're not afraid of breaking their brains. They're not smart in the first place. If they're stupid again, Yushitai will be disbanded!" Song Qiyun sat on the street facing everything that happened below, and cast aside his disgust. She pouted, "Huang... no, my elder brother is not here now, no matter how much they kowtow or howl, my elder brother can't see or hear him!"

"They are not for your brother to read or listen to, but..." Shen Haolin pointed to the people who were watching, "Did you see that? The people's emotions have been mobilized, this is their Purpose. If the Ministry of Punishments or Dali Temple ignore it and don’t give a clear statement, the common people will think that what they said is true.”

"The calculation is wrong. The people of Xijing are not so easy to fool. They are used to seeing big scenes, so this is not enough." Song Qiyun glanced at the silent Shen Cha, "What do you think, sister Xiaocha?"

Shen Cha didn't speak, just rested his chin and quietly observed the movement on the street.She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the shadows, the imperial guards, and people from the patrol battalion had mixed into the crowd of onlookers.

Just like what Song Qiyun said, the people in Xijing City who were watching were not so easily fooled, and they would not only listen to one side of the story.

"He is clamoring to beg His Majesty to make the decision, why should he kneel here? Shouldn't he kneel at the gate of the palace? His Majesty is not here."

"That's right, kneel here and yell, who is it for? Bullying ordinary people like us, don't you have your own ideas?"

"It's not like that. If there is no such thing, there is something wrong with those two adults. They are not wronged. The adults from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will come up with evidence to speak out."

Just when the common people were discussing and several adults were kneeling at the gate of the prison in order to show their strength of character, the two most core and crucial figures at this time, accompanied by Ying Shisan, stood inside the gate, looking through the through the crack of the door to watch the situation outside.Li adults will never know that there is only one door between them and the person they want to save.

"How are you two?" Ying Shisan looked at Mr. Cai and then at Mr. Gao, "Is it very touching?"

"What's the trouble?" Mr. Gao shook his head, "They don't have to do this, we deserve it." He looked at Ying Shisan, "Does the Duke and the General need us to come forward and explain?"

"No, you two just stand here and watch!" Ying Shisan put his hands in his hands, with a faint smile on his face, "The friends of the two adults are really loyal, I admire you!"

Cai and Gao looked at each other, and they both saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.How could these people be righteous in doing this, they were clearly putting them on the fire and roasting them. When the truth came out, they would be the first to turn their backs.

Ying Shisan looked at the expressions of these two people, sneered, and nodded to Qi Yong, the servant of the punishment department who had been preparing for a long time.

Qi Yong touched the paper offering in his arms, took a deep breath, waited for Ying Shisan to lead the two adults out of sight, and then asked the jailer to open the door, and walked out with a serious expression .

"What are you yelling about?" Qi Yong said with a sullen face, and stepped in front of Mrs. Li, "What are you doing? Mrs. Li, you are the censor of Yushitai after all. OK?"

"Master Qi!" Master Li raised his head and glanced at Qi Yong, "There is nothing wrong with you. The two adults have been arrested by you for several days without any reason. We, Yushitai, are here to ask for an explanation. What's wrong? Woolen cloth?"

"For no reason?" Qi Yong raised his eyebrows and sneered, "These two are suspected of colluding with the Jinren and conspiring against others. How did Master Li say it was for no reason? Isn't man a sin?"

"Where's the evidence?" Lord Li didn't want to be outdone, and stared at Qi Yong with staring eyes, "Empty words are nothing, Master Qi will always show evidence."

"Of course there is evidence, but I can't give it to you, Mr. Li."

"Why not?" Master Li snorted twice, "Don't dare to make it public, is it a guilty conscience? In fact, there is no evidence, right?"

"Lord Li, the evidence should be presented to His Majesty first, not to you. Could it be that your Yushitai is more important than Your Majesty?"

"Of course..." When these three words came out smoothly, Master Li felt that something was going to happen, so he quickly changed his words to make up, "Of course it must be presented to His Majesty, but let us and the common people know the truth in advance, there is no problem at all. Bar?"

"Master Li, I would like to advise you, it is better to be cautious in your words and deeds. If you can't speak, keep your mouth shut, so as not to cause trouble for yourself." Qi Yong saw his face suddenly pale, and the expression on his face The sneer became even more obvious, "However, you are right, since everyone is very interested in this matter, let's make an exception and let everyone know the truth." He waved at the soldiers guarding the gate, "Come on, Bring out the shopkeeper of the tea shop!"

Song Qiyun upstairs couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this, and gave Shen Cha a thumbs up.

"Sister Xiaocha, your trick is really amazing! But, why?"

"It's much better for Jin Guoxizuo to speak out than those two adults in person. People will firmly believe in Jin Guoxizuo's words, but they will doubt what Cai and Gao said." Shen Cha sighed, "Think carefully. , is quite sad, isn't it?"
