Happy Little Scholar

The people were facing the stone monument, and those who were tied with ropes and kneeling on the ground were also facing the stone monument, so the people could not see their faces clearly.

Until one person plucked up the courage to step forward, looked down, and immediately let out an exclamation.

"This, this seems to be Wei Shilang from the Ministry of Industry!"

"Impossible? Why is Minister Wei kneeling here?"

"This, isn't this Mr. Han? Why is he kneeling here?"

"Master Fang, Master Qi, Lord Wei, Tian Na, what happened? Why are they all kneeling here!"

…

Naturally, everyone present could not recognize all the faces of these people, but there were always some people who often appeared in front of the public due to their identities, so it was not difficult to identify them.

It was precisely because of this incident that everyone in the venue felt shocked and unbelievable.

Because all the people kneeling are high-ranking officials in the capital. Who would have thought that these people, who are usually so high up that they cannot even come into contact with them, are being tied up with ropes and kneeling in this ancestral hall at this moment? , in front of the stone monument, it is clear that the eyes can still move, but the body cannot move and the mouth cannot speak...

It was broad daylight, could this be a ghost?

Finally, someone noticed the abnormality, pointed to the papers in front of these people, and said to everyone: "Look, what is written on these papers?"

Someone picked up a piece of paper and looked up. The expression on his face was stunned at first, and then gradually showed anger and anger: "These corrupt officials are beasts, beasts!"

Under his incitement, everyone stepped forward and picked up the paper pressed with stones from the ground.

"Ah, these corrupt officials at the feet of the Emperor of Kyoto are so bold!"

"This, these things, even if they die ten times and a hundred times, it's not enough!"

"Could it be that God showed his spirit, pulled out all these beasts one by one, and knelt before the spirits of the two girls?"

"God opens your eyes, God opens your eyes!"

…

The papers held by everyone were densely written with the sins committed by the officials and dignitaries kneeling on the ground in their lives. One by one, they were shocking and made people feel chilled in their hearts.

They have no idea that these people who usually look bright and aloof on the outside are actually so dirty and dirty on the inside...

When they knelt neatly in front of the monument, with the charges signed and signed in front of them in front of everyone, the repressed emotions of grief, anger and repressed feelings in the hearts of the people burst out in an instant.

One person finally couldn't help but kicked the kneeling figure closest to him and said angrily: "You... you deserve to die!"

"Yes, beat them to death to prevent them from coming out to harm others again!"

"Kill them and eliminate harm for the people!"

…

After the first few people took action, the crowd immediately became furious. Those who were kneeling on the ground were pushed to the ground and punched and kicked.

The kneeling man was not only tied with a rope, but also had his acupuncture points tapped. Apart from being able to move his eyes, he could not even speak a word, let alone struggle to escape. He could only bear the anger of the people for his life.

The movement inside the ancestral hall soon attracted people nearby to watch.

The crowd surrounded the ancestral hall, and people outside had no idea what was going on. They couldn't squeeze in, but people kept coming from behind.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The detectives were always late as usual, and it took a full quarter of an hour before more than ten detectives ran over quickly from a distance, pushed aside the crowd, and squeezed into the ancestral hall.

"Stop, everyone, stop!"

Seeing the chaos in the ancestral hall, all the police officers also changed their colors. Regardless of the identity of the person who was tied with a rope and lying on the ground with a bruised nose and face, and regardless of the reason for the current scene, if he is beaten like this If you go down, I'm afraid someone will die!

The police officers wearing uniforms and holding weapons in their hands were still very intimidating to ordinary people. The people gradually dispersed, while not forgetting to add a few more kicks.

"what is going on?"

A government agent looked at the miserable condition of those people and felt a little chilly in his heart, so he asked loudly.

"Sir, look at this." Someone handed over a thick stack of paper.

After the detective turned over a few pages, his legs couldn't help but feel a little weak. He was helped by the person behind him, and he finally stabilized his body.

"help me……"

A weak cry for help came from under his feet. The policeman noticed that someone was holding his ankle, hurriedly squatted down and asked: "Who are you?"

"This, my official, the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wei, Wei..." The Minister of Criminal Affairs, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, passed out before he could finish his sentence.

The policeman looked at him and carefully identified him for a long time, but he didn't see anything about him that looked like the Minister of Works...

He sat down on the ground with a pale face. It didn't matter whether the other party was the Minister of Works. If it wasn't the Minister of Punishment, it could be another Minister or a powerful person...

It doesn't matter who he is, what matters is that the sky is falling!

He pointed outside in a hurry and said, "Quick, go to the government office and call someone and tell Mr. Zeng that something big has happened!"

At the same time, a servant stood at the door of an official's residence in Kyoto, lingered for a long time, and said with some confusion: "Why don't you get up, sir? Don't you go to court today?"

He finally couldn't help knocking on the door, then pushed the door open and went in. He looked at the empty bed and said in surprise: "Where is your lord!"

Soon, a servant in the mansion ran out of the door in a hurry and headed straight for the county government office.

Along the way, they met many people who were as panicked as them.

Jingzhao government office.

Zeng Shichun had just gotten up and washed up, and before he could beat the drum to go to the court, a yamen runner ran in from outside in a panic, his face pale and said: "Sir, something big has happened!"

Zeng Shichun frowned and said: "What is it? Tell me slowly."

The yamen runner said in a hurry: "Forty officials and dignitaries in Beijing were kidnapped last night and were discovered early this morning. They were all tied up and kneeling in the ancestral hall of Miss Shuangshuang!"

Zeng Shichun was stunned and asked: "How many did you say?"

"No more, no less, exactly forty."

As soon as the voice fell, a noisy sound came from the gate of the yamen.

"I want to report a case. My master is missing!"

"My Lord is missing too!"

"My Lord and Second Lord are both missing!"

...

Zeng Shichun's body swayed, and he had to hold on to the wall to stand steady. More than 40 officials and dignitaries in Kyoto were all kidnapped overnight..., which bandits were so bold, this was not a crime, this was clearly a crime!

In front of the government office, there was a burst of ghosts and wolves howling, and in the palace and the hall, all the civil and military officials looked puzzled.

Without the slightest sign, the number of people attending court today was nearly 20% less than yesterday. Although the court was not empty, the crowd was indeed much sparser.

The inspectors were standing in line in front, impeaching the officials who were absent from the court without reason. An eunuch ran in quickly from outside. Because he was too flustered, he fell when he stepped into the palace door and crawled in...

He knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Your Highness, Jingzhao Yin has an urgent report!"

After a while, the originally quiet court suddenly became an uproar.

Above the hall, the eldest princess slowly stood up, as if she thought of something, her face changed slightly.

One after another, with a certain ancestral hall as the center, spread within a few hours, and the capital was shocked!
