Chapter 975 Crimes Against Humanity
As the head of an aristocratic family, there is no doubt about Old Man Dou's ability.

As early as when he found out that His Majesty planned to push Yun Ye out to compete with the Dou family, he had already made all preparations.

All the connections that the Dou family had managed for many years were in motion, like a huge spider web, surrounding Yun Ye from all directions.

He has already arranged for officials from all over Chang'an and even the Yushi Yanguan. The memorials to impeach Yun Ye were also written by the Dou family after collecting information from all over. He personally reviewed and researched them, and would never leave any trace behind. loopholes.

He has already made detailed arrangements for the Cheng family, Niu family and Li Jing family who are good friends with the Yun family, and has already sent out various exchanges of benefits, just waiting for the response from the Cheng family and the Niu family.

If there were no surprises, as soon as the day broke, countless memorials to impeach Yun Ye flew into the palace like snowflakes.

Old Man Dou only needs to sit at home and watch with a smile as Yun Ye is being made difficult by hundreds of officials in the court, and may even be doomed.

But why, why on the eve of planning the layout, such a thing happened!
Old Man Dou was lying on the low couch, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly. His mind kept flashing to the green bamboo sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands clasped together, and the note flying in the cold wind.

This was something that Old Man Dou had never encountered before in his life, and it was also the source of fear in his heart.

"Boom!"

There was another deafening thunder, and Old Man Dou suddenly woke up from his daze.

He recalled what Yun Ye had said to him in the palace, and also recalled Yun Ye's identity as a suspected disciple of an immortal.

If there really are immortals in this world and gods in heaven, will there really be retribution for the evil things done by the Dou family?
Just when the emotion called fear gradually emerged in Old Man Dou's heart, a servant suddenly came to report outside the door.

Old Man Dou sat up with the help of his old servant. He had not slept all night and his face was full of exhaustion, but at this critical moment, he still had to listen to the information that should be heard.

Sure enough, a servant came to report that the Yun family sent people to the county government to deliver the petition, and also sent a large number of guards to post notices throughout Chang'an City.

The Dou family quietly tore off one and brought it back. After seeing it, Old Man Dou angrily tore it into pieces.

The reason is also very simple. Yun Ye dares to use facts and truth to slander the reputation of the Dou family. It is really unreasonable!

What's even more annoying is that Chang'an County Magistrate Zuo Kui had the courage to accept the petition. Is this to go against the Dou family? !

Old Man Dou was a little anxious, but more urgent things were yet to come.

The second servant who came back to report the news said: "As soon as the city gate opened, the merchants of the Yun family rode fast horses and carried the proclamation out of the city. I heard that they ran in all directions as soon as they left the city. The villain feels that they did not carry the proclamation." If you stick to Guanzhong, you won’t give up.”

It takes time for the news to ferment, so it didn’t make much of a splash on the first day.

However, this is only calm on the surface, and the undercurrent is still surging in the dark.

People from the Yun family, the Cheng family, the Niu family, and even the academy and the East Palace scattered into the 108 cities and towns in Chang'an.

In conjunction with the notices posted by the Yun family, they continued to spread the horrific news that the Dou family liked to turn people into wax.

The people of Chang'an City did not dare to offend the Dou family, but they also secretly remembered the news, and in the mood of sorrow for the death of rabbits and foxes, and the emotions of animals harming their own kind, they took the initiative to spread the news more and more widely.

The most damaging thing is that Yun Ye also took advantage of the situation and gave different response methods to different people.

For example, for those families with missing persons, those who spread the news would secretly make them think that the missing person might have been kidnapped by the evil Dou family and used as a human being.

There are many other methods like this, which are like strong winds, blowing the fire more and more fiercely.

On the third day, the heavy rain that lasted for three days finally stopped, but there were still heavy clouds over Chang'an.

Thanks to the spread of the news by the Yun family knights, the entire Guanzhong knew about the Dou family's evil deeds, and the reputation of the family was completely ruined.

Also today, Yun Ye personally took to the streets and sounded the drum in full view of the public.

In the Tang Dynasty, the people had no way to sue the officials. If the people sued the officials, even if the lawsuit was won, the eighty-year-old cane would never be missing.

But Yun Ye was not an ordinary citizen. He was the Marquis of Lantian in the Tang Dynasty and a general who had returned from a great victory. As soon as he arrived at the county government office, Chang'an County Magistrate Zuo Kui and County Cheng County Lieutenant personally came out to greet him.

But Yun Ye didn't seem to see them. The county magistrate was standing nearby, but he still wanted to beat all the drums on both sides.

This behavior immediately attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an. The county government office was soon crowded with people everywhere watching the excitement.

However, the people from the county government did not dare to come forward to drive them away, because Yun Ye was standing in front of them, and the guards of the Yun family were also surrounding him, vaguely blocking the way of the government officials.

Not only that, after entering the lobby, the Yun family guards also blocked the door and did not allow the county government office to close, so that everyone could see what happened in the county government office.

Looking at Yun Ye sitting in the hall, the Chang'an County Magistrate smiled bitterly and said: "Marquis Yun, in our Tang Dynasty, since the "Wude Code" was promulgated in the seventh year of Wude, this crime against humanity has never been committed. I have also dabbled in the laws of the past, but I have never heard of this law. I hope Marquis Yun can explain it to me. ""Don't you understand?"

Yun Ye glanced at Zuo Kui and said calmly: "Then let me ask you, since China had its criminal law, all kinds of harsh punishments have emerged one after another. Why are there fewer and fewer tortures in the Tang Dynasty?"

Zuo Kui hesitated and said: "This... is of course His Majesty's mercy!"

Yun Ye agreed: "You are right, Your Majesty is merciful, so our Tang Dynasty abolished all kinds of torture. Those harsh corporal punishments, now only whips and boards are left. The things like quartering the body with five horses, gouging out the eyes and tongues are all gone now." ”

"This is the general trend and what His Majesty wishes."

"As the saying goes, a country should be governed by etiquette and prospered by benevolence. Yun believes that as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, we should enjoy the most basic human rights. Even the lowest and most humble slave status must be different from livestock and wild beasts."

"Therefore, anyone who abuses us Tang people as livestock is a crime against humanity!"

After hearing Yun Ye's words, the officials in the hall were thoughtful and understood what Yun Ye meant.

Yun Ye glanced at them, then turned around, looking at the crowded people outside the county government office and yelling angrily.

"Now that the Tang Dynasty has defeated the Turks, it is a sign that the prosperous age is coming, but at this time, such a frightening evil thing happened in Chang'an City!"

"The Dou family of Xinghuafang is said to be a thousand-year-old family with a legacy of poetry and etiquette, but in order to vent their anger, they actually treated a fifteen-year-old young girl as a beast in human form and made her alive into human wax!"

"Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, everything is in ruins and the population is sparse. Every time your Majesty makes sacrifices to heaven, he sincerely prays for the prosperity of the people and the multiplication of livestock. But what are your Dou family doing? You are scorning human lives!"

"How much hardship does a person go through from birth to adulthood, and how much effort does the parents have to put in? Who would want the child they have raised through all the hard work to become a lit candle in the Dou family's mourning hall?"

"Tell me, who of you wants your child to be a candle?"

As Yun Ye's angry voice came, the people outside the county government office became excited and roared one after another, rushing towards the county government office.

Seeing the crowds of people outside the county government office, not to mention the many officials in the hall, even the Yun family guards at the door couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife, and large drops of cold sweat flowed from their foreheads.

Looking at the excited people around him, Hong Cheng, who was dressed as a government servant, couldn't help but swallow, with a look of horror in his eyes.

As the leader of Baiqisi, Hong Cheng would appear here. Naturally, he was ordered by Li Er to cooperate with Yun Ye's actions.

But what he never expected was that Yun Ye's words were so inflammatory, and the entire people of Chang'an were mobilized by him.

It is foreseeable that if Yun Ye continues like this, the rampant public opinion is likely to turn into an uncontrollable riot.

Thinking of this, Hong Cheng couldn't help but cast a horrified look at Yun Ye.

Yun Ye stood at the gate of the county government office, glanced at Hong Cheng, and made a gesture to him that the plan remained unchanged.

Cold sweat broke out on Hong Cheng's forehead, but since Yun Ye was confident, he had no choice but to follow His Majesty's orders, waved his hand bravely, and rushed to Xinghuafang with the elite Baiqisi who were disguised as government servants.

……

……

On the other side, in the Dou family's house, Old Man Dou stood under the eaves, looking absently at the dark clouds on the horizon.

Since the day I left the palace, heavy rain has been falling in Chang'an for three days, and it barely stopped until today. However, the dark clouds in the sky have not dispersed. Instead, they cover the sky of Xinghuafang and the heart of Old Man Dou.

For some reason, he always felt that this dark cloud was coming towards him, which made him terrified.

At this moment, there was a burst of noisy footsteps and panicked shouts from the front yard.

Old Man Dou frowned, and immediately took his old servants and a group of nurses to check, and found that a group of uninvited guests dressed as government servants broke into Dou's house through the main entrance of the mansion.

Dou Huai'en, the third eldest son of the Dou family, angrily ordered the family nurse to step forward to stop him.

But unfortunately, this team of yamen servants is obviously not the waste in the county yamen who are just waiting to die. The water and fire sticks in their hands make this team of yamen servants superb.

The Dou family's nurse can be regarded as one of the best in a hundred, but he is no match against these government officials.

In an instant, more than a dozen nursing homes were beaten with broken bones and tendons, and the rest of the nursing homes also fled in all directions.
