Chapter 88: Chaos in the World (Thanks to Xiaobai's monthly pass)(1/2)
The old man panted and ran to Wanji Wonton Shop, rushed into the lobby, and shouted, "Everyone, go to East Street, there is already a stir there!"
The neighbors who were eating wontons and noodles stopped their chopsticks and changed their color and said, "What, so fast!"
Lao Wan stood behind the counter and was shocked, "Didn't I just asked Xiao Shichang to inform the girl?"
"It's useless. The civil and military officials in the court were determined this time and wanted to put pressure on the tyrants together. How could a woman, a woman, resist so many men!"
The old man said anxiously, greeting the neighbors who were eating in the store and went to help, "I don't believe that the old man can't make up for this case. We have paid so long. Why, after the high officials of the country kidnapping and killing people, they said that they would uphold the original verdict if they would uphold the original verdict!"
"We are not convinced!"
"Let's go, we'll all go!"
"We can't let them bully the girl!"
"Okay, Xiaosi, you, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, stay in the store, I'll go and have a look!" Lao Wan picked up the wall and leaned against the wooden stick, limping his feet to follow.
"Shopkeeper, I'll go with you. You have trouble walking now!"
Xiao Si looked at the shopkeeper with a wooden stick and was inconvenient to walk, so he hurriedly held his arm and said, "Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, you and the chefs in the kitchen lock the door together, I am afraid that the whole Yingdu will be in chaos!"
Xiaowu and Xiaoliu nodded repeatedly and began to close the windows and lock the doors.
The old man hurriedly said, "I won't say anything anymore. Everyone who wants to go to will go to East Street, which is already in chaos there!"
"I have to go to other places to notify everyone!"
"But you have to be careful. Those Liu Ruo Ao have swords on their hands, and this time they will definitely come with great force and serious action!"
"Uh-huh!"
In a hurry, the old man held his wooden clapper and knocked and turned around and left Wanji wonton shop again. He walked through the streets and alleys with his "bang-bang-pong-pong" and shouted loudly, "Everyone, someone has someone to come out! If you have time, you will go to the East Street, take a look, and take a look! How did the aristocratic families encircle our people, and we won't let us complain now, and we are mobs for nothing!"
"Everyone, tell me, if we are mobs, who are not mobs?"
"On weekdays, we are obedient and pay taxes according to our own people. When did we rebel and riot?... During the war, we rushed forward. After the war, we were flooded and famines, and those who starved to death were all the uncleans at the bottom. Even in such difficult times, we had never rioted... we just wanted to have some food, just wanted our relatives to be reunited... Is it a sin to do this?"
The old man's voice came out one by one. Some people heard it in the yard of their homes, burst into tears, and then rode on the wall of the liba in anger and shouted at him, "Why do they say we are mobs? Where did we riot?"
"We steal, we rob, have we murdered and set fire?...We just want to find our relatives!..."
"The serious crime of murder and arson are all the things that the big men above do!" The old man was admiring his fair tongue, nodding and knocking all the way through, "You haven't forgotten the turmoil on Jin Street two days ago. Everyone in Yingdu knew it was related to Ruoao's Commander, so would anyone dare to arrest him?"
"Why don't you arrest him, but you want to arrest Chen Tingli, who is the master of us, and you also want to impeach the grand girl?" the people shouted.
"that is!"
"Why?"
“Where is this justice?”
"Are we just a pariah? We can convict us at will!"
The people heard the news coming out of their homes with sloppy words. Every alley was filled with people and said angrily, "Does our untouchables have no way to untouchables?"
"We just let others bully you, never dare to speak out?"
"Since we don't give us a way out, we won't live anymore! Let them chop wood, cook, wash, buy, dress, fold quilts, lead horses, drive, and go to the front line to fight..."
Along the way, vendors were pushing a trolley, carrying a load, guarding the shed. When they heard the news, they rushed in the same direction, shouting, "What else do you do in business!"
"We haven't done it these days, we have to see the girl win this lawsuit!"
"The major clans will only oppress us good people!"
"Ruo'ao is even more lying!"
"This is not giving us a way to live, and we can suppress us into mobs at will, so we will show them!"
Even there were tea sheds, wineries, inns, grain shops, silk and satin shops... For a time, most of the shops closed one after another. In the bustling streets, people were empty and rushed to the East Street, "Shopkeeper, close the door, everyone followed the sage, who still came? Let's go and check the situation!"
The wine shops and inns are closed one after another, "Shopkeeper, let's close it too..."
Some even drove the guests out, "The refugee case cannot be won for a day, and we don't open the door to do business for a day!"
There were pedestrians who followed one after another, "Let's go, follow!"
In less than an afternoon, the whole Ying was in chaos.
Not only were most of the shops closed, but some servants of the small officials also fled and long dragons paraded by the streets.
Walking in a row.
Go towards East Street.
When we arrived at East Street, we found that there was no one anymore. After asking the yamen staff of the Criminal Prison Office, we found out that everyone was guarding the Taila and Chen Tingli to Chengfu, and then rushed to Chengfu without stopping.
For a time, the North City Street, Nancheng Street, and the Main City Street gathered tens of thousands of people, and more and more, old and young, strong, men and women, and all walks of life...
...
The soldiers patrolling the streets and the soldiers of the five cities immediately held swords and halberds, and were extremely nervous, "Head, is this the riot in Yingdu?"
"It looks like it!"
"This morning, you soldiers did not see it. Those court officials first besieged Chen Tingli, and then surrounded the Taiwo, a woman. They really didn't look like a man..." The Five City Military and Ma Si who were present at the time said to the soldiers who were not present.
"It's conceivable. But how can men bully women? This matter is unstoppable!"
The soldiers of the palace nodded repeatedly. They had seen the beautiful women, and they were willing to siege them, and they really didn't look like men.
"You can't stand it, and there is no way. We are paying for the salary and service. Who said that our head is the person in charge of this case now - Ruo Ao Duwei."
"Let's go, we will follow us quickly. We must prevent them from making trouble, otherwise we will not be able to afford to take advantage of it!"
"Uh-huh."
The timid soldiers followed the steps of the five cities' military personnel and followed.
...
In the mansion of Mr. Pan, he finally had a rest all day, but the descendants of the Pan family, who had received the news early in the morning, rushed into Pan Chong's scenic garden with wind.
"Maternal grandfather, grandfather...is not good, there is chaos outside!"
"What's going on?"
Pan Chong, who was writing in the pavilion, stopped writing and looked at his grandson who came to report the news.
The old slave also picked up the graphite and pressed the silk that was blown by the wind, then raised his head and looked at the young Xian Yin, who dared to scold Wu Hou and the Wucheng Military and Masji in the Golden Palace.
"My grandfather didn't know that last night, the old Situ tied up a group of important officials and discussed the dethronement of the crown prince. He went to the palace early this morning, but fortunately he was stopped by the king. Later, they were unwilling to give up and went to the Criminal Office to ask Chen Tingli and the Grand Lady to release Situ Nan. In the end, the people even had a conflict with the six Ruoao tribes in order to safeguard Chen Tingli."
Xian Yin bowed and replied, "Grandfather, are we still not moving now?"
"Send someone to watch the movements of the grandmother and the courtiers."
"If it is really a time when it is absolutely impossible, you will naturally move."
Pan Chong closed his eyebrows, a ray of frost flashed across his eyes, and he said slowly, "You can't let the entire Yingdu follow the turmoil because of their personal selfishness."
"Yes, grandfather and grandson, let's do it now."
Xian Yin came in a hurry.
He left in a hurry again.
...
In Ruoao's mansion, there was a burst of people rushing over, and the first thing to do was the big house Canglang Pavilion. Xiao Jiang hurried in and shouted, "Son-in-law, Miss, the courtiers outside have started to make trouble for the case of the son-in-law. I heard that someone has died."
Zhou Jinghua was shocked and was about to be inserted into her hair bun and fell from her hand. Ruoao Yuejiao quickly caught her with her eyes, then inserted her into her black hair, and said in a deep voice, "What's the hurry?"
"I knew about this yesterday."
Looking at the woman in the bronze mirror, Ruo Tao Apricot, she was extremely beautiful, with only a circle of thick shadows under her eyes. Ruoao Yuejiao calmly turned around and waved to Xiao Jiang and blamed, "Don't tell the wife about this outside in the future, so as not to let her sleep at night."
"Yes, son-in-law."
Xiao Jiang agreed carefully and then stepped down.
Zhou Jinghua sat in front of the dressing table, pulled his sleeve nervously and asked, "Why don't I let me know? Recently, it's a critical moment. If something happens to you, we...we...we will have nothing to do..."
"With me here, of course there will be no problem."
"Even if something happens, it's a matter between us men, and it's not something you, a woman, can worry about. So you might as well stay in the backyard with peace of mind, read books, embroidery, or if you're really tired, go back to the room to rest, and I will naturally handle everything outside."
After saying these words, Ruo Ao Yuejiao emphasized to all the maids around him just now, "Madam, you need absolute rest. Don't disturb your wife with the news from outside, do you know?"
"Yes, young master!"
Seeing that all the maids were sending Yue Jiao around and strode out of the dormitory, they ordered people to prepare horses and go to the Five City Military Command.
Zhou Jinghua sat in front of the dressing table and silently looked at the tall man who was gradually walking away from the window.
I was so scared in my heart for no reason.
But the more she didn't let her know what was going on outside, the more she wanted to know. She called Xiao Jiang into the room again. The master and servant said to the outside world that they wanted to make up for their sleep and locked the door. Then they disguised Yixing and left Ruoao's mansion through the back door, missing.
...
The second housekeeper rushed into the main courtyard of Ling Yin, "Mr. Ling Yin, Lord.... It's not good. The ministers really went to the Criminal Prison Office and the Palace to make a big fuss!"
Ling Yinzi, who had been sitting in the yard, was holding Huang Pi in his hand and trembling slightly, and locked it into the mahogany box with a "click". "What's going on with the girl now?"
To be continued...
