Chapter 950: City in Turmoil

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 so, 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? Was 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 to 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 there is danger in this trip, it must be a high-profile case. Before the imperial envoy arrives, his life must not be in danger. As for the pain of his skin and flesh, it is inevitable.

As for the second slogan, yes, it shouts 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 was dead when Chenliu County reported the news to the capital, but this It's never wrong to say.

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 grace of heaven and betrayed the people. He colluded with the evil gentry, seized land and food, 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 guards 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 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 point is not aimed at these people, but actually against the scholar who has no power to bind a chicken, How can you get this monthly salary?”

After washing 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 I think the Za family really doesn’t dare to take your life.”

The blade of the knife was close to his neck, and the cold light 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 being considerate of the people and being able to ask for orders for the people.

But the emperor probably didn't expect that he would praise such a scourge.

"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 raised sword 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, 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 is someone in the court, 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 home. Unexpectedly, he would encounter such a thing. As soon as he heard the news, he rushed here in a hurry.

Perhaps there was a chaos in the busy schedule. Qian Tongpan did not inquire clearly. He was so anxious that his white beard was trembling. 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.

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, but did not move. The old judge was so angry that he jumped up and down.

The leading soldier pointed at the decree in Wu Yi's hand and talked about his concerns.

The old judge's cloudy eyes flashed with a few gleams of light. After all, he was an experienced person in government affairs. After he calmed down, he understood the seriousness of the problem and stopped forcing him. However, it was not a good idea to let Wu Yi continue to march and make a fool of himself.

So he "invited" Wu Yi and others to go into the post station to rest and wait for Liu Bingzhong to deal with the matter. Originally, such a big matter should not be his responsibility. He only needed to deliver a memorial to the emperor to tell him what he saw and heard.

Anyway, the commotion was over, and the whole city was in turmoil. His goal had been achieved, and Wu Yi did not continue to resist. He went into the post station and waited for the trial later.

The old judge knew that Wu Yi was the leader, so he sat beside Wu Yi, talking about other things, and hinting at the matter of Chenliu County.

Wu Yi said he was hungry, but the old judge was not angry. Instead, he readily ordered several tables of delicious dishes to entertain Wu Yi with great care.

After eating, just as Wu Yi opened his mouth, someone outside the door shouted, "The master of the palace has arrived!"
