Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the door formed a human wall and quickly blocked the embarrassed scholars.
Blocked these indignant people.
The scholars and officials were frightened at this moment and hid behind the officers and soldiers.
Wei Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to persuade these people who had lost their minds.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, please don't get excited. The family has family rules and the state has national laws. The court will handle this matter in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Please don't get excited..."
Wei Zheng, who just ran forward, was hit by a stone and knocked unconscious.
The soldiers guarding the gate could no longer stop these people, and they didn't want to stop them either.
These stupid scholars who dare to challenge His Majesty will have to die.
As long as they guard the gates of the imperial city, that's fine.
So they retreated and guarded the gate.
The officials among them saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but with so many people, one person could drown them all with just a drop of spit.
I could only accept the beatings from these people, hold my head in my hands, and hope to escape with my life.
Fortunately, at this time, countless soldiers rushed out from the imperial city. It seemed that they came with bad intentions. Some people among the people shouted: "The army is coming, run away!"
These people ran away as if they had been specially trained. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of them were gone without even a stampede.
All that was left was a pile of rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and feces.
Of course, there were also several corpses and a bunch of injured scholars.
Wei Zheng was taken to the Imperial Hospital in the palace by officers and soldiers. After treatment, he finally woke up faintly.
I just felt a severe pain in my head. I touched it and it was so big.
The one who had been stabbed a thousand times actually hit him with a stone.
But at this moment, half an hour had passed since the incident. When he asked the people around him, what happened.
People around him said that nine people died, including six officials and three students.
As for his teacher, he was just slapped in the face like a child. He was fine, but his face was gone.
At this moment, Wei Zheng learned that the front page of today's newspaper stated that the King of Shu had passed away and that the murderer was a member of the Zheng family, and listed the ten major crimes of the Zheng family.
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly, it turned out that His Majesty had already made arrangements.
His Majesty knew that he wanted to warn against bad things, so he kicked him out before he could speak.
And the events outside the palace gate are probably also the work of His Majesty.
It's really cruel, and the phrase "water can carry a boat can also overturn it" is played clearly.
Why!
I just felt sorry for his teacher, who was being used as a weapon and didn't even know it.
Now it's better, my face is gone, my child's daddy was thrown away in front of so many people.
Your Majesty can't do anything to you, but the people don't care who you are, the beating is in vain, and the beating was humiliating.
"Zheng, Zheng, it's not good for you to kill anyone. You have to kill the prince. I'm afraid you have to finish the game this time."
Wei Zheng touched the bag on his head and swore in his heart that he would never be the first person again.
Things are changing so fast now that his brain might not be able to keep up with the pace, and he will be tricked to death, just like his teacher.
Shishi Liu had his wounds bandaged in the hospital. At the same time, he also read newspapers and listened to the conversations between patients and their families in the hospital.
He never expected that the death of the King of Shu would be killed by people from the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Only then did he realize that he was being used as a weapon.
But he didn't blame anyone else. The blame was that he was too naive.
I just feel sorry for his students!
Thinking about it, thinking about the shit thrown at him by the people, he was so angry that he cried and wanted to die.
But even death could not restore his reputation.
But his life has no meaning anymore.
He returned home, left his family behind, and then committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
However, this will was published in the newspaper on the same day, with tens of thousands of words written eloquently, all of which cursed the five surnames and Qiwang.
Qiwang, the fifth surname, used him as a spearman and killed several court officials and innocent students, earning him eternal infamy...
He would never let go of those conspirators hiding in the shadows.
The appearance of this will made the entire Chang'an City hate the Five Surnames and Qi Wang even more.
He actually used the old master and his students as cannon fodder, and the five surnames and Qi Wang lost even the most basic humanity.
Then, another newspaper appeared.
The front page of the headline read: The Zheng family in Xingyang has cut off the transportation of grain and commodities all over the world, and closed all Zheng family stores in the world.
Moreover, they contacted other wealthy families and wanted to go on strike and close the market at the same time, threatening His Majesty and sparing the Zheng family in Xingyang.
Does this mean you don’t want the people of the world to live?
Is what Mr. Zheng of Xingyang did because of the annihilation of conscience, the distortion of human nature, or the loss of morality?
People who talk about right and wrong, right and wrong things, and those who talk about right and wrong are right and wrong people.
The strong wind blows down the sycamore tree, and others will comment on it.
Right and wrong are right and wrong, and justice lies in the heart of the people.
Qiwang of the fifth surname had just performed a move. They really didn't expect that Li Shimin would fire countless moves like a storm.
He also hit them in the face, hitting them so hard that their cheeks hurt, and they became dizzy.
The important people left in Chang'an by the five surnames and Qi Wang were all killed in one sweep. They were not rescued, but countless others were caught up with them.
At this moment, Li Shimin, holding the important tool of public opinion, the newspaper, was simply killing gods and Buddhas, and they didn't even have a chance to refute.
In terms of public opinion, they have completely lost.
This also proves from the side that newspapers are powerful tools for public opinion.
Usually public opinion and guidance are in their hands, so they can coerce public opinion and put pressure on Li Shimin, but now it's the other way around.
The other people of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang who stayed in Chang'an City did not even dare to leave the yard at this moment, for fear of being beaten to death by the common people.
They have now become street rats.
They informed the family heads of all parties about the major events that happened in Chang'an City overnight, hoping that the family heads would find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the reputation of the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs may soon be lost.
What they relied on was their reputation in the hearts of the people. Now that reputation is gone, they are still using a shitty name.
In Xingyang County, people traveling between Chang'an and Chang'an have never stopped.
Li Ke just hid in the woods outside the city and watched all this quietly.
News from Chang'an City also came, and everything was going according to their plan.
The newspapers have been distributed all over the world, and public opinion has been formed. However, the newspapers in Xingyang City cannot be delivered to the hands of the people for the time being.
But this is not a problem. Most of the people living in Xingyang City are businessmen. They are a mobile population and will always go out.
And his people have sneaked into Xingyang City with newspapers, and they are waiting for tomorrow morning to put newspapers on the streets and alleys, even at the entrance of the government office.
Prejudice, let the businessmen who have suffered from the Zheng family for a long time develop feelings of hatred towards the Zheng family, and then let the bandits kill all the Zheng family.
This will only please people's hearts and make other families feel that helping the Zheng family will cause them to get burned and quickly abandon the Zheng family.
These days, Sishe has found a group of water thieves and three groups of thieves. The water thieves have gone north along the Grand Canal, and three groups of bandits have also arrived from various places.
If nothing else, they got the news that Zheng had killed the third prince and was going to run away with a large amount of property.
They intercepted and killed Zheng on the way, and they had enough to eat in their lifetime.
Early the next morning, people in Xingyang County were stunned when they walked out of their homes.
What's going on? ? ?
The doors and windows of his house were covered with paper.
Looking around again, the entire alley... no, the entire street.
The big trees, walls, doors and windows were all covered with dense paper, and even the ground was covered with paper.
Originally, Xingyang County belonged to the Zheng family. They thought that the head of the Zheng family had lost his mind and wanted to show off how wealthy his family was in this way.
But after reading the dense writing on it, everyone became uneasy.
Damn it, did Zheng’s people kill the third prince?
This is the rhythm of rebellion!
And who is the person who posted this paper?
What's the intention?
The merchants were quick-thinking, and their first impression was that they could not stay in Xingyang City.
For a time, they closed their shops and gathered at the city gate with their families. When the city gate opened, they immediately left the city to avoid causing disaster to the fish pond and dying in confusion.
The entire county government went crazy at the same time.
When the county magistrate got the news, he got up from his concubine's bed and ran out without even lifting his pants.
When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, he saw a scene where the entire street was occupied by papers. After reading the contents above, he went crazy.
"Are you all just doing it for a living?"
"Overnight, thieves broke into the city and posted so many newspapers... You don't know?"
"Everyone went out, tore up the newspapers, and told the people that these were deceptive rumors and should not be believed..."
Then, he ran to the Zheng family's old house in one breath. The Zheng family and all the people involved were sitting in the living room. Everyone looked at the patriarch with extremely ugly expressions.
The Zheng family may be at risk of annihilation.
It has been passed down for so many years, but the opponent we faced this time was too difficult to deal with.
As soon as they took action, people's revenge came like raindrops.
Especially the other six major families and other wealthy families, if they see this situation, can they still help them?
Can we still stand on the same front as them?
Faced with enough interests, even relatives can turn against each other, let alone the other six major families. They only have a cooperative relationship.
