Chapter 71 Human Tragedy
People from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment wanted to control the situation, but the overwhelming notices had revealed all the information here, and countless angry people flocked in.
They spontaneously dug up the bones in the well, rushed into the kitchen and found the body parts left over from cooking, as well as various collections of human bone drinking utensils.
This is a human being, a living human being.
They can accept that there are three, six or nine levels of people, and they can accept being poor, toiling, and being squeezed by the world, because that is because they were born into a poor family, and this is their fate.
But it's not enough for these people to squeeze them, they also eat the flesh and blood of their children. They are human beings, not livestock raised for food by the world.
This Changchun House has been open for more than ten years and has eaten countless children. In order to facilitate 'purchasing', they chose the address behind the edge vegetable market where ordinary people gather. Maybe they bought the children from other places at first, but the people around them There will always be times when the child is jumping around right in front of you and you don’t want to abandon the near and seek the far away.
There are many people around me who have lost their children in recent years.
In the past, I just thought that I had been kidnapped by human traffickers. I was sad and painful, but there was nothing I could do.
However, now they know that their children were not taken out of the capital at all, but were tortured to death by people from noble families just across this wall, and then eaten alive.
"My Finger, my daughter."
"My orb, my son"
"Iron baby, iron baby"
The cries of grief continued, which was heartbreaking.
The officers and soldiers couldn't bear it, but the order had been issued and they could only drive them away.
"Dali Temple is handling a case, please leave as soon as possible!"
"The Criminal Department is handling the case, and no one else can come near!"
The victims are the children of these people, but now the officers and soldiers are drawing swords on them.
The men among the common people were very angry and rushed forward to reason: "What case did you handle? So many people have died in so many years, and you found nothing. Now the murderer has appeared. You knew he was coming, but who knew you were coming?" Are the investigators trying to cover up the facts and exonerate those scum?”
"When you talk about catching the murderer, you don't want to catch those children who are doing justice for God, do you?"
"The lives of those things that are inferior to beasts are lives. Aren't the lives of our common people's children not lives?"
The officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop: "Shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
The man was not afraid at all: "You are welcome to show me. If the murderer cannot be caught, he will only show his prestige to the common people."
The officers and soldiers were so angry that they were about to take action. The man immediately shouted loudly: "Look, everyone, the officers and soldiers are going to kill people and silence them. They are protecting those beasts and want to continue to hunt down our children."
As soon as the man shouted, the already angry people became even more excited, and a group of people rushed towards the officers and soldiers without fear of death.
"My lord!"
Meng Zheng, the young minister of Dali Temple, walked to Qin Mu: "This is obviously someone adding fuel to the flames. I'm afraid this matter can't be suppressed."
Qin Mu had a gloomy face: "You have to press it even if you can't. Could it be that a group of untouchables want to rebel against heaven?"
"Send extra manpower to arrest and beat the troublemakers as a warning to others."
The Qin family and the Meng family are both affiliated with the Lu family. Among the people who died this time was the Lu family, and there was also the shadow of the Gao family behind the Changchun Building. The Gao family's legitimate daughter was still the wife of the young master Lu. The family is too involved, and they must control it, otherwise big trouble will happen.
Meng Zheng still has some conscience, but after weighing it, he still has to protect himself first.
"Come here."
Dali Temple mobilized many people and went directly to arrest the leading people. The people firmly protected the few leaders who dared to speak out. Seeing that a bigger conflict was about to break out, a loud voice rang out like thunder. "The imperial edict has arrived!"
For a moment, everyone stopped moving.
Seeing the Minister of Punishment leading a group of people from Dali Temple and kneeling down, the people also knelt down hesitantly.
Let's hear what the emperor said.
A large group of forbidden troops rushed over and surrounded all the officials in the middle. King Wei in court uniform arrived with the eunuch Lou Xiang in purple robes.
Lou Xiang read out the imperial edict aloud.
The content is probably that the emperor expressed his shock and grief over this incident. He did not expect that someone would do such an appalling and inhumane thing under the emperor's feet. The emperor will never forgive and will investigate to the end.
At the same time, the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture and the Minister of Dali Temple neglected their duties, covered up crimes, and regarded human life as child's play. The crime cannot be pardoned, and they will be executed immediately!
Make a decision?
Qin Mu looked up in disbelief. The next moment he heard only a thud, he saw a headless corpse with blood splattering from its neck. The clothes on it looked very familiar to him. They were his most beloved ones. Dali Temple minister's official uniform.
Lord Zhangxiang, who was famous for his killings, took action, and instantly his head fell to the ground, while on the other side, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin was also beheaded.
Kill them as they say, without giving them a chance to argue or redress their grievances.
Li Xing, the minister of punishment, looked at the headless corpse lying next to him in disbelief, and then looked up at King Wei and the evil and cold-blooded eunuch Zhang Xiang. What is the emperor going to do?
The people did not expect that the people would suddenly kill people. After a moment of dead silence, everyone was excited.
"Your Majesty is going to make the decision for our people, Your Majesty is going to make the decision for our people!!!"
"The sky has eyes!"
Li Xing stepped forward and came to King Wei. Before he said anything, King Wei said bluntly: "Your Majesty has ordered that this case will be taken over by me and King Chen, with the assistance of Eunuch Zhangxiang and the Ministry of Punishment. Anyone who resists will be killed first and then reported."
Li Xing was speechless and bowed deeply: "My lord, I obey your order!"
Xiao Jingyi raised his hand, and the imperial guards immediately took out a thick roll of white silk and spread all the white silk on the ground in the courtyard. When the positions were arranged, Xiao Jingyi turned around and saluted the people.
"From now on, I will be responsible for this matter. I hereby promise to give you justice. Now, if you are willing, you can follow me to invite these dead children to see the light of day again!"< br>
"I do!"
"I do too!"
"Your Majesty, my child is inside. I'm going to take her home."
"Your Majesty, my child is also inside."
No need for persuasion, just one response.
Xiao Jingyi asked people from the Qintian Prison to set up an altar and have people break bones and bring them up while performing the ritual.
And just getting these bones took me from noon to night.
All the bones were dug out, some were fresh with flesh and blood, some were rotten and turned black and yellow, and some were completely turned into white bones.
Buckets after buckets were beaten out and placed on a white cloth. The bones were chopped up and couldn't be distinguished, but most of the skulls were intact. The skulls were placed in rows in front.
There was a pile of fresh ones next to them, and their appearance could still be distinguished from the heads. Several families were crying around the heads, and one mother even vomited blood and died on the spot.
Looking at these scenes of human tragedy, and then looking at the gorgeous bones carved and polished into utensils and inlaid with gold, jade and precious stones, it is really ironic.
