Someone started, and other officials followed suit, loudly threatening the imperial guards not to touch these scholars! And when these scholars saw that someone was supporting them, they were naturally emboldened, and they actually started making noise again when surrounded by Jin Yiwei!
But Baihu who led the team didn't care about this! Because he was the highest-ranking official present, he did not draw his sword. So he simply picked up the scabbard with both hands and used it as a short stick to hit the two soldiers in the face! The two soldiers fell to the ground in response, blood spurting out from their mouths and noses! Judging by their looks, their teeth might have been knocked out!
Seeing this scene, the officials and scholars were shocked! They didn't expect that a mere official from a hundred households would dare to actually beat a scholar, so they didn't say anything for a while!
The hundred households stepped forward and stepped on the head of a scholar and said loudly: "I don't care whether you have members or not, whether you are a pillar or a pillar! Anyone who breaks the law will be punished! If you dare to attack Beizhen Fusi, I will look at you They are all tired of living! Take them all down!"
After receiving the order, the Jinyi people immediately started to arrest people! In particular, these Jin Yiwei had long hated the scholars who usually made trouble, so they simply took the opportunity to act cruelly!
They turned the Xiuchun knife in their hands upside down and used the blade to whip at these soldiers! Knock them to the ground first, then drag them out from the crowd and tie them up! The beating made these scholars cry for father and mother for a while, complaining endlessly!
The scholars were angry when they saw this! They have been making trouble for many years, and no one dares to lift a finger against them! Jin Yiwei actually dared to beat them today. This is absolutely unacceptable! So these scholars began to resist!
But these scholars themselves are powerless people, how can they be the opponents of these strong warriors! At the beginning, I still had the energy to resist for a few times, but then I was completely defeated! Everyone was tied up and kneeling on the ground!
When everyone was under control, the man from the household hung the knife back on the knife ring on his waist, and said loudly: "These people gathered to make trouble and stormed the Yamen! They were all taken to Shuntian Mansion for rigorous interrogation! In addition, they are all scholars. , report directly to the Ceremony Department to find out their identities!"
This order issued by Baihu can be described as clever! First of all, he killed these people who were common people, and then the soldiers
..The protection on our bodies has been peeled off! And these scholars now have no official status, and they are indeed common people. This avoids direct conflict between the Jin Yiwei and the civil servant group!
Moreover, his second order was to transfer these scholars to Shuntian Mansion, which was also quite meaningful! Because Shuntian Mansion is the one who hears cases related to the people. The duty of the Jinyiwei is to monitor officials and spy on intelligence. They have no duty to conduct civil trials!
At the same time, handing them over to Shuntian Mansion is equivalent to handing a hot potato into the hands of the civil service group! If the civil service group protects these scholars, then Jin Yiwei will have something to say! If they don't protect these people, they will create trouble within the civil service group! In short, this is a difficult problem to solve!
And the best part is to notify the Ministry of Rites to find out the identities of these people. Because the biggest reliance of these scholars is their status as members, but the Daiming Law also clearly stipulates that scholars are not officials, but ordinary people! But if the common people gather to make trouble and attack the government, according to the rules, their student status will be revoked! In other words, all the books they read in the previous ten or twenty years were in vain!
Perhaps some of the scholars feel that they have a strong background and do not worry about this problem, but they have forgotten that the Jin Yiwei is still watching them! If the people from the Ministry of Rites don't take action, they will have reason to make trouble in the Ministry of Rites and take away a few officials by the way! In short, these scholars are extremely unlucky! Read the book
Those officials are best at playing with words, so naturally they know all about them! So when they heard Baihu's order, they knew that none of these scholars could save them! Therefore, they could only shake their heads and sigh and retreat, ignoring the glances and shouts of those scholars asking for help as if they could not see or hear them!
After the scholars were taken away, Mr. Liu couldn't help but said to Baihu again: "This Baihu, it's almost time now, right? Aren't you going to break your promise?"
Baihu said nonchalantly: "Of course the time has not come yet. I will let you in when the time comes! And there are still a group of people who have not arrived. Why are you anxious?"
Mr. Liu pointed to the people behind him and said, "I and my colleagues already have more than a hundred people.
, where is there anyone who hasn’t arrived yet? And look where there are people coming around! "
Mr. Liu is very sure that no one will come again. Because ordinary people are busy making money to support their families, so they have no time to pay attention to the trial. The reality was just as he guessed, there were not many people watching the excitement around. And there are also quite a few local hooligans and idle men.
On the contrary, these people and officials are not afraid, and it doesn't matter if they tell them about smallpox. Because as long as officials tell the people that these people are gang members, no one will believe them! .
At this time, Baihu snorted and said, "Why is no one coming? Don't you think that person has arrived?"
Everyone looked up, and sure enough they saw another group of uniformed guards approaching from the end of the long street. There seemed to be about a dozen people wrapped in them. This surprised the officials! Could it be that the Jin Yiwei specially arrested some people to listen to the trial?
But even so, they are not afraid! Those ordinary people are like sheep. As long as someone is sent to threaten or bribe them, they will remain silent. When the time comes, it will not be up to them to decide how the case will be tried!
But when they came closer, many officials recognized who the person wrapped in the royal guards was, and they couldn't help but change their colors! These people are no one else, they are storytellers in many teahouses!
These officials also have entertainment on weekdays. It is common for them to go to teahouses and listen to books in their free time. So it’s not hard to recognize these storytellers!
Other officials quickly got the answer from these officials who recognized the person, and they were all shocked! You must know that these storytellers have a large audience in the capital! As long as they tell the truth about Jin Yiwei's trial, they won't be able to hide it even if they want to!
However, one official said: "Don't worry about these storytellers, they are just ants. You can send someone to warn or bribe them!"
But then someone said, "It's useless! If Jin Yiwei can think of calling them here, he will naturally think of how to protect them. Threatening and bribery is equivalent to giving them clues! Maybe Jin Yiwei will be guarding them when they are telling stories. As soon as we take action, we will give you a handle!"
