Chapter 1064 Injustice
Since the day when Yu Wenkai presided over the construction of Chang'an City, Chang'an City has entered a rhythm that seems to remain unchanged forever.
Every morning, one hundred and eight markets are opened one after another. People who are tied up in cage-like markets breathe the fresh air and start their daily work. The greatest city in the world also begins to gradually recover. With vitality, another day of hustle and bustle begins...
Ordinary people are not interested in caring about whether those high-ranking wealthy families have encountered family changes or whether scandals have broken out. If they have time, they might as well care about today's rice prices. This winter is the lowest price of rice since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This is thanks to Erlang of the Fang family who opened the sea route to Nanyang and purchased rice from Linyi State. Although Linyi State's rice that is harvested three times a year is less than the wheat in Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong. It's not the least bit unpalatable, but it's so cheap!
Who would have dared to think that cheap food could be bought throughout the winter and that one could have enough to eat twice a day?
Such a life was something I couldn’t even dream of before!
As the New Year approaches, the entire Chang'an Market is bustling with traffic, and pedestrians and merchants are rubbing shoulders. Especially the merchants and pedestrians from the east and west cities are rushing back and forth like crucian carp, making it very lively. All kinds of goods from the north and south are spread along the market, and there is a dazzling array of everything.
What is the best-selling New Year product in Chang'an City?
If you randomly grab ten businessmen on the street, nine of them will tell you with jealous faces - Firecrackers!
Who is better at the firecrackers of the Tang Dynasty?
Please come to Fangjia Fireworks Workshop!
This is not an advertisement, this is a therapeutic effect...
There is a shop near the West Market with five doors, and the wide stone space at the door is densely packed with carriages of all kinds. Box after box of firecrackers and fireworks were carried out from the store and placed on carriages. Young accountants with calligraphy books came to count and collect money. Of course, there were also some close customers who signed and stamped their names. White strips.
But this doesn't matter. Triangle debt has existed in ancient and modern times. But looking at the Tang Dynasty, who dares not to pay back the money owed to Fang Erlang?
All the vehicles transporting firecrackers and fireworks passed by the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen on Xishi North Street. They were all curiously attracted by the scene in front of the Jingzhao Mansion. Many idle people even gathered here and stopped for a moment.
Two white-haired old men were kneeling in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion. Their cries were heartbreaking and earth-shattering. They knelt in front of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, banging their heads on the ground, wailing incessantly, knocking against the hard stone slabs. The forehead was broken, and the blood flowed into a stream...
The onlookers couldn't help but marvel.
It is said that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, both the important ministers in the court and the local officials have been mostly honest and upright, while few are ignorant and cruel. In addition, the power of the Censorship Station has never been stronger. These censors who claim to be morally perfect are ordered to patrol , If someone hears something is going on, no matter how old the official is, no matter how deep his background is, he would dare to impeach him. Which official would dare to blatantly cause trouble? This is not to say that there are no black sheep. No matter how clean the era is, it is impossible to completely eliminate the existence of corrupt officials. However, at least great restraint will be given so that officials will know that once their actions have extremely bad effects, even if you are the official Even Chao Zaifu can’t protect you...
Therefore, unjust, false and wrongful cases rarely occur among the people.
But why were these two old men so grief-stricken and kept shouting "unjustly accused"? If there was no great grievance, we wouldn’t kowtow and kowtow until rivers of blood flow...
Just when the onlookers and the officials in front of the Jingzhao Mansion were confused and at a loss, they saw the old man with a rickety back suddenly stood up, his face was confused with blood mixed with tears, and he screamed. : "Someone is no longer alive!"
He suddenly hit the stone lion in front of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
The onlookers stood far away, and the officials were caught off guard and had no time to pull the father-in-law...
There was a soft "bang" sound, and the old man slammed his head against the stone lion as tall as a person.
The fragile skull shattered immediately when it hit the hard stone, and red blood and white brains splattered all over the floor.
The majestic stone lion with its chest and belly is still holding its head high and looking at everything. It has no idea that its body is covered in blood and brains...
The old man's frail body collapsed limply at the feet of the stone lion.
The old woman behind her just realized what she was doing. She was stunned for a moment, let out a heart-rending howl, climbed up to her husband on both hands and feet, held her husband's deformed head in her arms, and howled to the sky!
"Oh my god! Why can't you open your eyes? Why do you want us, a family who keeps our duty, to suffer such a misfortune? We have never done a bad thing, and we have never harmed anyone. Why do good people have no reward, but they have to Forced to such a dead end? ”
Every sentence is sad and the sound is full of blood.
The viewers were all moved when they saw this cruel and bloody scene in front of them!
How much injustice must one have suffered before one could die by running into a stone lion?
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion were also dumbfounded.
How could I just watch someone get knocked to death at the gate of the Yamen?
Several officials were so frightened that they sweated, and hurriedly stepped forward and said in a gentle voice: "Auntie, why is this happening? He just said that the New Year has been sealed in the Yamen, and everything can be dealt with after the New Year, so why bother with this? A day and a half? But now...this...what should I do?"
No wonder these officials were sweating all over and turned pale with fear. Fang Jun's first rule in managing the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is to "treat others with a smile and act with integrity." Mr. Fu Yin gave many instructions and instructions: No matter whether they are members of aristocratic families, princes, nobles, or ordinary people, all officials in the yamen must not look down on others, put on official airs, or take advantage of others. They must treat everyone equally and be fair and just.
The banner with the words "Gong Sheng Ming Lian Sheng Wei" written by Lord Fu Yin is still hanging in the lobby of the Yamen. That is the code of conduct of Jingzhao Mansion!
Who dares to break the rules of Jingzhao Mansion and ruin the reputation of his Fang Fu Yin? Do you really think that Fang Er Bang Chui doesn't dare to kill anyone? !
But now a living person is killed in front of him, and the news will inevitably spread throughout Guanzhong. When Master Fu Yin is held accountable, how will he and others explain?
Everyone is dead, no matter how I explain it, I can’t explain it clearly!
Once Mr. Fu Yin blames him...
Several officials couldn't help but shudder.
It’s terrible!
The old woman hugged her husband's body and cried in agony. Her voice was already hoarse, but her tears were still pouring down. Her hoarse cry was like a sharp awl stabbing the hearts of the onlookers, making everyone feel the same. Suffering from that despairing sadness...
The old woman seemed to have lost her soul, she just couldn't stop crying. No matter how many officials asked and persuaded her, she didn't reply a word.
The officials scratched their heads anxiously, not knowing what to do.
It was impossible to let her cry here. He knew the power of rumors. The incident in front of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen could spread throughout Chang'an in an instant, but as the rumors spread, they might become what they were. , those censors and officials in the court, regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, finally caught the Jingzhao Mansion, but they still have to impeach their own governor to death?
But he didn't even dare to force the old woman away, not to mention the conscience in his heart that made him unable to bear any disrespectful behavior towards the old woman. If he dared to do so, the crowd of people around him would swarm him in anger. Torn to pieces...
The heroic spirit of the people in Guanzhong has been passed down since the time of the old Qin Dynasty. It has been integrated into the blood for a long time. If you get angry, you will never tolerate it!
Dugu Cheng heard what happened in front of the door and ran out in a hurry.
When I saw this situation, my head suddenly got bigger...
Leaning in front of the old woman, Dugu Cheng resisted the nausea caused by the smell of blood and persuaded: "This aunt is the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion. No matter what grievances your family has, after all, the deceased is the most important. How about I help you bury the deceased first, and then tell you your grievances in detail? I promise you that no matter who or what happens, I will give you justice. ”
It is really shameful for something like this to happen in front of the dignified Jingzhao Mansion. Fang Jun gave him the task of taking charge of the daily work of Jingzhao Mansion. It was simply a test. He had to dissuade the old woman and end this farce. Otherwise, if Fang Jun thought that he was deliberately causing trouble for Fang Jun, Then his trouble comes...
The old woman seemed to be stupid. She only cried sadly and said nothing. (End of chapter)
