The woman was hit by the messy things thrown at her, and her face was soon covered with blood marks.
His face looked increasingly blurry and less human.
Tears rolled down her face and she shook her head desperately, trying to pray for someone to believe her.
"My father was wronged, he really was wronged..."
It was probably because no one believed her, so she kept saying it over and over again, and that was all she said.
Qi Mingyue, who was about to open her mouth to plead for mercy, actually shut up when she saw this situation and retreated silently, for fear that the anger of the people would be transferred to her.
Even Jinchen looked ugly and whispered to the guards,
"Take her away!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please, please..." The woman was not willing to be dragged away, and was still trying to crawl toward Lian Jinchen with her arms stretched out.
“It’s unfair, it’s unfair——”
Her voice was hoarse, but she was still shouting miserably.
"Unjustly accused? If you, the Song family, were unjustly accused, then the people who died in Lingzhou City were not unjustly accused!"
The people shouted angrily.
"Kill her, kill her!"
"Can't let her go! Kill her!"
Probably provoked by the repeated "unjust accusations", the people who originally just spurned the angry people were now furious, as if their hearts were as gray as ashes, and finally found an outlet.
They all stopped the guards who were about to drag the woman away, and shouted at Lian Jinchen to kill her.
Lian Jinchen frowned.
He originally had no intention of quarreling with such a little girl. As soon as all the people who interfered with the case were put in prison, waiting for trial and prosecution, a married woman like this woman would generally not be thrown into prison if her husband's family did not commit a crime.
This is not the first time this woman has pestered him like this. She has blocked him at the Yamen Gate several times before. When he asked, she said nothing and only said that her father was wronged.
Whether Magistrate Song was really unjust is another matter. He would not escape death just for the crime of dereliction of duty.
The words of this Song girl are really worthless if they don't have something to say!
He originally wanted to spare her life, but now that she has caused public outrage, it would be difficult to end it without punishing her!
But Lian Jinchen still hesitated to kill her like this.
Just when he was hesitating, a clear voice shouted: "Everyone give way!"
He looked at the man with excitement.
Sure enough, I saw Qing Hui and Lian Xueyin.
He subconsciously wanted to salute Lian Xueyin, but Lian Xueyin glanced at him lightly the moment he looked over.
Lian Jinchen immediately lowered his eyes.
Qing Hui pulled away the crowd, walked into the encirclement, and looked down at the woman whose face was covered in blood.
Two guards held her shoulders and stepped on her leg with one foot, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
Qing Hui walked over, reached out and grabbed the woman's chin, and lifted her face up.
I don't know what hit me, most of it was swollen, and one eye was bleeding.
"Who are you? Do you want to plead for her?"
"This kind of person doesn't deserve anyone's mercy!"
"Kill her immediately!"
Seeing Qing Hui's actions, the people shouted at her.
The woman was forced to raise her head in despair, her face mixed with blood and tears.
"What's your name?" Qing Hui asked her.
The woman obviously didn't expect that Qing Hui would ask her this. She subconsciously replied,
"Song Tanxi, my name is Song Tanxi."
Sure enough, it is the name of a lady, Qing Hui thought to herself.
The woman looked at Qingshan eagerly, thinking that Qingshan had a little hope after asking her name. When she trembled her lips and wanted to say something else, Qingshan let go of her chin.
Then he bent his lips and faced the group of people who were shouting to kill Song Tanxi,
"You want to kill her, don't you?"
The people shouted, "Kill her! Kill her!"
Qing Hui clapped his hands,
"What's the point of killing her? Don't you want to see Song Gouguan and his family die together?"
Everyone was shocked by her words.
They were all stunned.
A moment later, as if being ignited, he shouted loudly: "Think!"
"That's right, what's the use of killing her? We should pull out Song Guguan and the entire Lingzhou City, all those officials who lie in plain sight, deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, take bribes and pervert the law, prey on the common people, and show them in front of everyone He judged them in front of them and chopped them into pieces! Do you think that’s right?”
Qing Hua's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.
At first, everyone just seemed to be lit on fire, but now it seemed like the entire grassland had been burned down. Everyone was shouting with blood boiling. They wished they could pull out all those dog officials now and judge them as she said. Crime, cut them into pieces again, let them feel all the sins they have suffered in the past few years!
"Judge them! Judge the dog judge!"
"We want to put the dog judge on trial!"
"Make them pay!!"
The entire open space was filled with countless heads, and it was originally as dead and silent as a pool of stagnant water.
But now Qing Hui's words were like a drop of water thrown into the oil pan, frying the whole pan.
Half the city was boiling.
Lian Jinchen could hardly see clearly Qing Hui standing in the crowd, but under the scorching sun, her eyes were so bright that they seemed to glow.
It was as if she was the center of the world as she stood there.
His heart felt like it was being pinched so hard that he could no longer look away.
Qi Mingyue was hiding behind him, holding the corners of his clothes with her fingers. Qing Hui was indeed a lunatic!
How could there be such a lunatic like her!
She didn't want to seek justice for these people. She clearly wanted to watch those officials being pulled out for trial and then chopped to death with a knife!
She is a pervert!
Qi Mingyue wanted to tell Qing Hui's perverted purpose loudly, but at the moment, it was impossible for anyone to believe her.
Qing Hui was indeed very excited. She was worried about how to catch the big fish behind her. Wouldn't this be an opportunity?
The grander the scene, the better. With such a big fuss, she didn't believe the people behind it could bear to come and see what was going on!
Seeing that everyone's emotions had been ignited to the extreme, Qing Hui raised his arms to signal them to stop.
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
People who were originally thin and sallow due to lack of water now have red faces and eyes shining with excitement.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, may I ask for my advice? What do you think?"
"If you also agree with the aspirations of the people, then at noon tomorrow, all the criminals will be brought here to accept an open trial from all of us! It is not only the right of you, the superior officials, to judge them, but also the rights of everyone present. The rights of the people who have suffered so much!"
"Please allow His Highness King Chen," Qing Hui shouted.
All the people present fell silent. Is it their right to judge those corrupt officials?
This is probably the first time someone has said something like this to them in their lives!
Many people even had tears in their eyes for a moment.
Lian Jinchen's face was tense. This matter was not a trivial matter. Even if he agreed with what Qing Hui said, he could not make the decision alone.
What's more, the culpability of Lingzhou officials is under investigation. Even if they cannot escape the blame in the end, the crimes must be investigated one by one before they can be convicted.
Even if they are brought out for trial, it will have to be after they are convicted, not now!
Tomorrow at noon, this time is too late, he can't do it, and he can't be the master!
Facing so many people and her gaze, he couldn't make up his mind.
He was thinking about how to break this situation, or ask Qing Hui to change the time and wait until they go back to discuss before making a decision.
Qing Hui suddenly turned around and faced the extraordinarily tall man standing outside the crowd.
Qing Hui crossed his hands towards Lian Xueyin, bowed and bowed.
"I sincerely request your majesty's permission to publicly judge the crimes of Lingzhou officials together with thousands of people in Lingzhou at noon tomorrow!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
