Zhao Zhongzheng was happy.
Looking at the faces of these Changyuan people, looking at the ferocious glances of these Changyuan people as if they were father-killing enemies after seeing Han You, looking at Han You's pale face, it can be seen that there is a leopard in the tube.
In fact, all this is what Zhao Zhongzheng did.
Originally, he didn't want to take action so quickly. He wanted to deal with Zhao Tai first and let Artai distinguish between the big and small kings.
However, Zhao Zhongzheng also kept Han You in mind and did not dare to be careless. A few days ago, he had people sneak into the construction site to find out how Han You rescued the people of Changyuan and see if there were any details. Sexual issues are used as a handle.
In fact, just the fact that Han You brought these people from Changyuan to the capital to build his gymnasium can make a big fuss.
It's just that Zhao Zhongzheng didn't dare to take action rashly. It was well known to all the dignitaries in the capital that Han You liked to sell his buttocks and lure others into taking the bait. Many courtiers fell for his evil trick and ended up being beaten.
Han You seems to have a bit of a collecting habit. There are so many people in the Jingzhao Mansion prison who he doesn't like and who don't like him, and they are locked up without killing them. Except for Shen Tu Gang and his son, no one is there. Once spared, these are bloody lessons.
Who knew that the people sent by Zhao Zhongzheng reported back the news that the people of Changyuan had long been dissatisfied with Han You and had been grudges for a long time.
The people of Changyuan were extremely xenophobic, and Zhao Zhongzheng's people could only get a rough idea. These people said that Han You had deceived them and wanted to harm them.
According to Zhao Zhongzheng's understanding, the entire construction site is like a powder keg, which can be ignited by a tiny spark.
How could Zhao Zhongzheng fail to seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? That's why today's "inspection" was carried out. He wanted to find out from the people as an official what Han You had done to regret them, just to be on the safe side. , he also brought along a director from the Ministry of Works. After all, it was the officials from the Ministry of Works who had always been in contact with these miners in Changyuan.
Unexpectedly, after arriving at the construction site, the people in Changyuan ignored him at all, as if their tolerance for any official had reached the limit. Many people were cursing and did not trust them, officials in the capital.
The head of the Ministry of Industry was furious and reprimanded several people, and then a quarrel broke out.
Officials never thought that the common people would dare to talk back. When they get mad, they would have people arrest and punish the common people who insulted them.
Hearing the word "criminalization" is like poking a hornet's nest, and chaos arises.
Zhao Zhongzheng was not worried, but overjoyed. Chaos, the more chaotic the better, these people were brought by Han You. The more people in chaos and the greater the noise, the worse Han You would be.
In order to cause chaos at the entire construction site, Zhao Zhongzheng asked the servants of the Zhao family and the nursing staff who had sneaked into the construction site to take advantage of the chaos to light up the construction materials, and at the same time spread rumors that the imperial court was going to punish them, and that Han You was going to lead troops to execute them, etc.
What happened next made Zhao Zhongzheng overjoyed. As expected, the people of Changyuan became chaotic and made a big fuss. After the Jingwei came over, the Zhao family guards took advantage of the chaos and released arrows, making the whole thing completely out of control.
When they saw that Jingwei had been shot and killed, many timid Changyuan people were frightened and immediately chose to escape from the camp, fearing that they would be punished and executed by the court.
However, there was one thing that Zhao Zhongzheng did not expect. That was that the common people did not really take action against the Jingwei. Fu Yuxiang first intervened forcefully, and with dozens of veterans of the Southern Army and a dozen new soldiers, he actually defended the construction site. It is impregnable and Jingwei cannot enter at all.
When a large number of Beijing guards were transferred, Ma Erye intervened forcefully again and established a second line of defense with about 300 Ma family farmers.
While Ma Rulong blocked the Jingwei, Fu Yuxiang, Ji Ying, Teacher Zha and others also gathered other Changyuan people to the innermost side.
The only one who knows the whole thing is Zhao Zhongzheng, who has been pulling the strings.
But he didn't understand one thing. Why did these Changyuan people hate Han You so much?
Including Ma Qian, the supervisor of the Changyuan Mining Area, a total of twelve people were tied up tightly, and they knelt down in front of the emperor. Their eyes were full of anger, and they all looked at Han You.
The king and his ministers were silent, very confused. What on earth did Han You do to make the world angry?
Zhao Zhongzheng, who had previously said that these were rioters and vaguely hinted that Han You was instructing the people, was now not afraid of annoying the emperor and started his performance.
"Your Majesty is here. All the adults in the court are here. If you have any grievances, just tell them. Why did you make such a big mess? Who instructed you or insulted you? Your Majesty loves the people like a son. I will definitely make the decision for you.”
Ma Qian and others still looked at Han You, gritting their teeth and saying nothing, but they did not speak, but they gave an answer.
"Han You!"
Zhao Zhongzheng pretended to be indignant: "What on earth have you done that is so outrageous? Tell me!"
"Your mother and your wife took off their clothes. I don't have time to change."
Han You didn't even look at Zhao Zhongzheng and went straight to Ma Qian.
Unexpectedly, before Han You could speak, Ma Qian and the others were like mad dogs, struggling to get up. No one doubted that if they were not held down by the guards and their hands and feet were tied, these people would definitely pounce on them. Han You was torn into pieces.
Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui instantly protected Han You, but there was someone who reacted faster than them, and that was the Emperor.
Lao Ba was completely instinctive and pulled Han You behind him, using his not-so-broad shoulders to cover Han You behind him.
Zhao Zhongzheng still put on that performance, and he looked like he loved the people as his own son: "You and others are all in charge of the Changyuan Mine. Please believe what I say, your Majesty will definitely uphold justice for you..."
"Get away!"
Situ Yu suddenly pulled Zhao Zhongzheng aside and looked down at Ma Qian and the others.
"My name is Situ Yu. I am the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I will use my head as a guarantor. If someone really bullies you and forces you to dare to take action against our Imperial Guard, the Imperial Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Your Majesty will definitely make the decision for you. I will The official will also make the decision for you, but if..."
Situ Yu changed the topic and said coldly: "If someone instructs you to slander Captain Han, the imperial court will definitely deal with you and others according to the laws of the country. Don't even think about hiding it. If you dare to hide it, you will be punished with serious crimes!"
"Officials protect each other."
Ma Qian finally spoke. He had never spoken loudly to any official since he was born, and he was already overwhelmed by anger.
"You bunch of dog officials, officials and officials protect each other, why do you care about the lives of us little people? You are putting on a show for who to see. You just have to use any means to kill or cut into pieces. Bah!"
The Changyuan people next to Ma Qian also started to curse. Wen and Wu looked cold and glanced at the guards, who all drew out their long swords.
"Shut up, everyone!" Ma Rulong, who had always looked gloomy, shouted angrily: "The imperial court really protects each other, Mr. Zhou... Why did your majesty come with all the ministers? Why do you want to ask you why? Use your stupid brains to think about it. Really?" If you were to die, I would have just given an order for the guards to rush in and execute you, so why bring you here for questioning!"
Ma Erye's words woke up the dreamer, and Ma Qian and others were all stunned.
They may not believe what others say, but Ma Rulong has proved something with his actual actions. Just now the Beijing camp was about to attack, and it was Ma Rulong who rode a horse and carried a long stick to lead the Ma family villagers to kill them, saying "Ma Rulong" Who dares to make a mistake here, the second master?" The frightened group of guards retreated.
"Second Master, Second Master..." Ma Qian's eyes finally changed and he looked at Ma Rulong: "They...will they really make the decision for us?"
"Yes!" Ma Rulong squatted down: "Do you still remember what I said to you a few days ago?"
"Remember." Ma Qian nodded and showed a bitter smile: "You said that your surname is also Ma. Maybe we were a family in the past. When people encounter trouble, they can come to you and help you if you can."
Zhou Ke's old face turned red. His people would rather believe in a foreign race than the imperial court.
Ma Rulong said loudly: "I, Ma Rulong, never break my promise. Your Majesty and all the gentlemen will make the decision for you."
"good!"
Ma Qian nodded heavily, then knocked his forehead to the ground at the emperor, tears began to flow down his chin, and he gritted his teeth and roared.
"Han You and Han Shaoyin, the emperor's personal soldiers, are beasts, the worst beasts in the world. He wants to kill the grassroots and all the people of Changyuan!"
