The Jingzhao Mansion is filled with sorrow.
One by one, the bookkeepers and historians seemed to be rushing to the execution ground, their faces were pale, without any trace of rosiness.
There was great joy outside Jingzhao Mansion.
The large open space in front of the main entrance was now filled with smiling people.
It was really crowded.
And the eyes of those smiling people with their families were all focused on the small piece of open space left in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
At this time, the open space was filled with gongs and drums and firecrackers.
Two red lions dressed in particularly festive costumes.
Moving up and down, jumping around in the little open space left.
Xu Yi stood at the front door, quietly watching the rare excitement.
At the same time, they are also waiting for the arrival of others.
It doesn't take a while.
Qin Fuping was the first to come to the main entrance.
The smile that always hung on Qin Fuping's face had long since disappeared.
With a sigh, Qin Fuping said expressionlessly: "This Chang'an City has really not been this lively for a long time."
Xu Yi turned his head slightly, glanced at the expressionless Qin Fuping beside him, and said calmly: "It's been a long time since it was so lively. Does Mr. Qin like to be lively or quiet?"
Both of their words were meaningful.
Just as the two were taking advantage of each other.
Chang Shuirong and Han Tong came in sequence.
The moment they saw the lion dance at the door, their expressions changed slightly.
But calm soon returned.
Lion dance, lion dance, not a festival, not a celebration, a lion suddenly danced outside the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
Who called it?
Xu Yi?
What do you want?
The two of them gradually had a bad feeling in their hearts.
However, who is willing to admit defeat until the last moment?
Fortunately, the two of them did not see Zhao Shou in the crowd.
This is undoubtedly good news for the two of them.
Chang Shuirong took a deep breath, strode towards the musicians below, and said loudly: "That's enough!"
After he finished speaking, Chang Shuirong suddenly pushed the big drum next to the musician.
The sound of the instruments stopped abruptly.
The two big red lions were stunned on the spot.
Countless people were enjoying watching it, but it was suddenly stopped due to an accident.
There was inevitably a bit of disappointment on his face.
The grumpy man was about to curse.
But the moment he saw Chang Shuirong in official uniform, he swallowed the 'greeting' that was about to blurt out.
For a time, there were countless people with red faces and red ears.
After the scene was completely silent.
Chang Shuirong pointed at the people and shouted loudly: "Who asked for the lion dance? There are corpses everywhere outside the city! Now let the lion dance come to celebrate in front of Jingzhao Mansion! What do you want?!"
Chang Shuirong pointed at the people, but it was Xu Yi who was pointed at the gun.
This criticism of Sang and Huai is really not very clever.
Xu Yi put his hands behind his back and looked at Chang Shuirong and said calmly: "Is Chang Shilang an old fool?"
"I just said that this song was taught to my servants by me!"
"Chang Shilang is now criticizing mulberry trees and pagoda trees in front of the people. What is his intention?"
Chang Shuirong pretended to be astonished and slowly turned his head and said: "The lion dance invited by the Sixth Prince? I wonder what the Sixth Prince wanted by inviting the Lion Dance?"
"Is it to celebrate the filial piety of his servants who took in three classes and six houses, or is it to celebrate the corpses littering the outside of the city?"
Chang Shuirong just finished speaking.
There was an uproar among the people watching.
Sometimes, people only focus on where they want to focus.
Just like this time.
What countless people heard was not that there were corpses strewn outside the city, but that servants were accepting bribes.
At this moment, a man dressed as a businessman came out of the crowd.
The man said loudly: "My lord, what did you mean by filial piety? What is filial piety?"
It is better to describe bribery as filial piety, and it is better to ask questions knowingly.
Xu Yi sneered in his heart and watched quietly as Chang Shuirong performed the double act with the man.
as expected.
Chang Shuirong sighed deeply, a look of sadness appeared on his face.
"You don't know," she said sadly. "Just now, there was almost a quarrel in Jingzhao Mansion over this matter."
Chang Shuirong deleted and deleted the events in Jingzhao Mansion and spoke slowly.
What he said seemed to be seeking truth from facts, but in fact, he was hiding evil intentions.
After the people heard that Zhao Shou had received more than five hundred taels of filial piety last night.
The situation exploded instantly. This was not filial piety, it was clearly bribery.
When the people heard that Zhang Chenglin, the official and landlord's bookkeeper, had a bad conscience, he spontaneously reported it.
Everyone cheered loudly at Zhang Chenglin, whose legs were so weak that he was carried to the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.
When the people heard that Xu Yi had repeatedly stopped everyone from confronting Zhao Shou, and even refused to let them in through the backyard gate.
Everyone sneered at Xu Yi, and some even hid in the crowd and cursed loudly.
When the people heard that the Minister of Justice Zuo was coming, Xu Yi still refused to let anyone search him, let alone confront Zhao Shou.
And on the grounds of face, Zhang Chenglin was forced to pledge his life as a guarantee.
No matter men, women or children, they were all filled with indignation.
The disaster victims in Guanzhong are having a hard time, and the people in their city are not much better off either.
The merchants could not go out. After the existing grain was used up, they could only buy high-priced grain from unscrupulous merchants.
In the past few months, food prices in Chang'an City have increased six to seven times.
Now it's just one aspect of the drought's impact.
From firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, to clothing and daily life, nothing is affected by drought.
All the people are looking forward to the arrival of an upright and capable official.
It is easy to resolve the disaster and restore Chang'an City to its former prosperity as soon as possible.
Zhou Qiping once was a pity to everyone, but unfortunately, Zhou Qiping could not escape the end of corruption in the end.
It is precisely for this reason that when people hear the word corruption, it is inevitable that they will lose control of their emotions.
There are certainly discerning people in the crowd who want to defend Zhou Qiping.
But with the crowd in such excitement, who dares to say no more?
I'm afraid that he was beaten to death in the middle of his words before he got to the point!
What's more, since ancient times, the law has not punished everyone, and beating to death can only be in vain.
Seeing that the people were excited, some people even passed by the government officials who were rushing over.
I want to use practical actions to show my inner hatred for corrupt officials.
Xu Yi suddenly pulled out the Zhanyuan knife hanging from his waist.
Under the cold light of the Zhanyuan Sword, the common people who had just passed the government officials immediately rushed towards the crowd.
Chang Shuirong was overjoyed when he saw this, and scolded him sternly: "What is the purpose of the Sixth Prince drawing his sword!"
“Did what I just said hit the sixth prince’s sore spot, causing him to want to kill me to silence me?”
"Or is it that just killing me doesn't relieve my anger, but the Sixth Prince also wants to kill all the people present?"
As soon as these words came out, the people who were standing in front instantly took a step back.
For a time, people were crowded, adults were cursing, and children were crying and screaming.
Qin Fuping couldn't help but glance at Xu Yi and Chang Shuirong.
My understanding of Chang Shuirong was refreshed again.
I thought this guy would only make trouble by getting wind of it.
I never expected that this person would lead the people and suppress them with great force.
It was the performance of the Sixth Prince Xu Yi just now that made Qin Fuping secretly shake his head.
