Uncle Lian is the chief minister on duty this season and the nominal top decision-maker of the Academy. His arrival temporarily suppresses the tense situation in front of Zuowangtang.
Lu Tong shouted: "Uncle Lian, you must decide impartially, otherwise everyone will be dissatisfied!"
Uncle Lian sighed: "Please be patient and wait for me to deal with it." Then he turned to the Boar Envoy: "Is the Zhu Envoy here too? I heard your words clearly. Are you speaking on behalf of the three of them?"
The mountain pig envoy said: "It involves Houshan Cemetery, and the three brothers are equally concerned about it."
Lian Shudao nodded and said: "Okay, let's talk together, but..." He pointed to the hundreds of people who had gathered behind Lu Tong: "Jieyu, can you disperse the people? Such a gathering of hedgehogs here. , making everyone in the world laugh."
Lu Dao said: "Uncle Lian, I didn't call these people here. Many of them were already here before I came. Most of them are not from my teaching hall. How can I let them disperse? Besides, this There are no outsiders here, and we are dealing with the internal affairs of the academy. How can we let the whole world laugh at it? Even if there is a joke, it is all caused by Jianwu!"
Jianwu said angrily: "Lu Tong, don't rant, these people are all caused by your madness!"
Lu Tong sneered: "You did something wrong and made everyone dissatisfied, and you come to blame me? If I can attract so many people by going crazy once, wouldn't hundreds of people in the academy go crazy? Justice is in the heart of the people, who is right? No, it’s very clear!”
As he was talking, he suddenly pointed behind him and said loudly: "Here it comes again, here it comes again! Is this also caused by Lu's madness? Look carefully!"
He was talking about the two disciples - Yan Boqiao and Sang Tianwu, who came hand in hand.
Yan Boqiao frowned and said, "What do you say?" He looked at the crowd with a dark face and pointed at a few of them: "Chen Zhigong, Zuoqiu, Guan Qian, you are not on duty in the back mountain, why are you messing around here? Is it because you think it's inappropriate? Isn’t the fine enough?”
The people named by him said: "Yan Fengxing, I am here just to seek justice. I want to see how these people resolve the case! Even if we are punished for a few more years for this, we will accept it!"
Yan Boqiao said angrily: "There are several great ministers who are in charge of solving the case. How can it be your turn to take the lead?"
Chen Zhigong said: "But right now, there is a situation where people are being treated unfairly. They are being detained and walked without being convicted of crimes, which puts everyone in danger. Although we are doing hard labor in the back mountains, we have the righteousness of the school in mind and we will never sit idly by and ignore it!"
Zuo Qiu said: "Yan Fengxing, please give us an additional three years of punishment now. We admit it, but justice must open its eyes, and Xiaoxiao must correct Yi!"
Guan Qian raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone, we dare not speak for others today, and no one will dare to speak for us in the future!"
Immediately, there was a flood of echoes behind him.
Yan Boqiao asked with a dark face, "What will it take for you to disperse?"
"I'll wait to see it when the case is being tried!"
"Let the people out first!"
"Let me apologize and promise not to break into the outer hall in the future!"
"Jianwu will not be on duty from now on!"
"Hand over Lu Qi and Xu Jun who injured Sun Wu!"
"That's right, let Lu Qi and Xu Jun pay for the elixir and the money for the medicine!"
"The compensation is more than ten gold, and no money should be lost..."
"We will also pay one gold to everyone present..."
"Yeah………"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Yan Boqiao shook his head and whispered to Uncle Lian: "This is a violation of public anger. It is difficult to handle!"
Sangtian Wu suggested: "No more gatherings. We must disperse people as soon as possible, or choose the next best option?"
At this time, Ji Xian, Jiang Ying, Chen Zi, Chang Hong and others also arrived one after another. Uncle Lian asked for their opinions. Chen Zi said: "It seems that we should lock up a batch..."
This was meant to be a strong deterrent, and Yan Boqiao immediately objected: "Chenzi, do you want to make the academy lose its popularity?"
Lu Tong clapped his hands and cheered: "Excellent! Come on, Chenzi, take away Lu's lock first. From now on, Lu will go to your fourth peak to write a book!"
Sang Tianwu asked: "If more than half of the people here leave the academy, will the academy be able to survive?"
Chenzi said with a dark face: "Even if we are all gone, we will recruit another group... Lu Tong, I am not targeting you. If you mess around, Chen really wants to lock you up. You can try."
Lu Tong jumped three feet high: "Try now, don't wait any longer!"
The wild boar messenger on the tree suddenly turned around and left. Sang Tianwu stopped him: "Zhu Messenger?"
The wild boar envoy turned around and said: "I broke into the hall with a shoulder in front of me, and Chenzi wanted to arrest me in the back. Zhu didn't dare to say anything anymore. Now I will go back to pack my luggage and leave the mountain with my three brothers... even Da Fengxing, Farewell!"
Uncle Lian stamped his feet: "Come back! Why is this happening?"
Lu Tong sneered: "Don't you all read the book written by Lu? Lu wrote in the book of mountains and seas and beasts twenty years ago that monsters value their territory the most. This move by Jianwu violated their taboos." , it is absolutely impossible to be accommodating! What’s more, Tatsuko wants to arrest someone?"
Sangtian sighed and said: "Chenzi, if you want to lock up even Zhixian, then I will have no choice but to return to the Danlun Sect. I can't afford to offend you."
Jiang Ying said: "Then the case will be tried in public. Whoever is at fault will bear the responsibility. The punishment will be clear and no one will refuse to accept it."
Uncle Lian asked Jianwu: "What do you mean?"
Jian Wu said: "Why did I arrest Sun Wu and others? Isn't it just to prevent them from colluding with each other to confess? Chang Zisheng has solved the case, and Sui Yue has also arrived at the case. Now that everyone is here, it is naturally good to try the case in public. I agree. ! But those kids asked me to shoulder my apology and won’t let me be on duty in the future, so what can I say?”
Ji Xian also said: "This is nonsense, it's outrageous. Why should Jianwu be as knowledgeable as them? Let's try the case now. Early trial and early conclusion."
Looking at Chang Hong again, Chang Hong pointed out: "I have no objection."
At that moment, Uncle Lian made a decision and asked two people from each court to participate in the discussion and conclude the case immediately.
As soon as the decision was announced, hundreds of people cheered, and each church immediately recommended candidates, causing another commotion.
The case was still put in Shangyuan Hall for deliberation. In addition to the three chief ministers and six ministers, Shanzhu envoys were also invited to the hall to hear the case. Nearly forty listeners recommended by various halls also sat in the Shangyuan hall. In the hall, under Uncle Lian's order, you can listen, but you are not allowed to speak without permission, otherwise you will be expelled.
The remaining hundreds of people did not want to disperse. Uncle Lian had no choice but to open up several courtyards of Shangyuan Hall, allowing everyone to enter, and ordered people to announce the case to the public at any time to satisfy everyone's wish to hear the case at any time.
Uncle Lian ordered: "Bring the relevant people over." Jianwu sent Huangfu to join Huang Yue, Song Mu, Lou Sunbai, Lian Zheng, Qingshu, Jingtai, Wang Nang, etc. who were in charge of the outer hall, and went to sit together. Wangtang mentioned people and sent over Sun Wu, Xue Zhong, Sui Yue and Song Wang. At the same time, Zhao Shang, Cai Zhang, Peng Li, Chang Zisheng, Meng Jin, Fei Longzi and others were summoned to the court and detained in various courtyards.
After the arrangements were made, it was already night, and the lights in Shangyuan Hall were brightly lit, waiting for the trial of this unprecedented case to begin.
The case was originally not big, but there were many people involved in the case, and its influence was getting bigger and bigger, affecting the hearts of almost all the monks in the academy. It was indeed unprecedented!
