The people were facing the stele, and those who were kneeling on the ground tied with ropes were also facing the stele, so they did not see their faces clearly.

Until one of them plucked up the courage to step forward and looked down, he suddenly let out an exclamation.

"This, this seems to be Wei Shilang from the Ministry of Industry!"

"Impossible, how could Wei Shilang kneel here?"

"This, isn't this Lord Han, why is he kneeling here?"

"Lord Fang, Lord Qi, Lord Wei, God, what the hell happened, why are they all kneeling here!"

……

The people present naturally couldn't recognize all the faces of these people, but there were always some people, because of their identity, who often appeared in front of the people, and it was not difficult to distinguish.

It was precisely because of this incident that everyone in the audience felt shocked and incredulous.

Because all the people kneeling are all dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing, who would have thought that these people, who are high up on weekdays, and they can't even touch them, at this moment, they are being tied with ropes, kneeling in this ancestral hall, in front of the stone tablet, obviously the eyes can still turn, but the body can't move, the mouth can't speak......

In broad daylight, is this a hell of a thing?

Finally, someone noticed the anomaly, pointed to the paper in front of them, and said to everyone, "Look, what is written on these papers?" ”

Someone picked up a piece of paper, his eyes moved, the expression on his face was stunned at first, and then gradually showed resentment and annoyance: "This, these corrupt officials, beasts, beasts!" ”

At his instigation, the crowd stepped forward and picked up the paper that had been pressed with stones on the ground.

"Ah, at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Kyoto, these corrupt officials are so bold!"

"This, these things, even if they die ten times and a hundred times, it's not enough!"

"Could it be that God manifested his spirit, pulled out these beasts one by one, and knelt in front of the spirits of the two girls?"

"God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes!"

……

On these pieces of paper held by everyone, all the sins committed by these officials and magnates kneeling on the ground were written in their lives, one by one, which was shocking and made people feel chills in their hearts.

They had no idea that these people, who usually looked glamorous and lofty on the surface, were so filthy and dirty on the inside......

When they knelt neatly in front of the monument, and the signed and painted charges in front of them were placed in front of everyone's eyes, the grief and indignation in the hearts of the people broke out in an instant.

One person finally couldn't help it, kicked the figure closest to him and knelt on the ground, and said angrily: "You ......, you deserve to die!" ”

"Yes, kill them, lest they come out and harm people again!"

"Kill them and eliminate the harm for the people!"

……

After the first few people made their moves, the crowd immediately became angry, pushing those who were kneeling on the ground to the ground, punching and kicking.

The kneeling man was not only tied with a rope, but also pointed to the acupoints, except for the ability to turn his eyes, he could not even say a word, let alone struggle and escape, and could only bear the wrath of the people.

The movement in the ancestral hall soon attracted onlookers from the nearby people.

The crowd surrounded the ancestral hall, and the people outside didn't know what was going on, so they couldn't squeeze in, but there were crowds of people coming in from behind.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The catchers are always habitually late, and after a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen catchers came quickly from a distance, pushed away everyone, and squeezed into the ancestral hall.

"Stop, stop!"

Seeing the chaos in the ancestral hall, all the catchers also changed color one after another, and no matter what the identity of the person who was tied by a rope and lying on the ground and was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and no matter the reason for the current scene, if he continues to fight like this, I am afraid that he will die!

Wearing uniforms and holding weapons in hand, the hunt is still very deterrent to ordinary people, and the crowd gradually disperses, and at the same time does not forget to make up for a few more kicks.

"What the hell is going on?"

A government official looked at the miserable situation of those people, and his heart was also a little chilling, and he asked in a loud voice.

"Look at this, my lord." Some people handed over a thick stack of papers.

After flipping a few sheets, his legs couldn't help but be a little weak, and he was held by the person behind him, and finally stabilized his figure.

"Help, save me......"

A faint cry for help came from under his feet, and the catcher quickly noticed that someone was holding his ankle, hurriedly squatted down, and asked, "You, who are you?" ”

"Ben, this official, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Labor, Wei, Wei ......" The waiter of the Criminal Department, whose face was already swollen like a pig's head, passed out directly before he finished a sentence.

The catcher looked at him quickly, carefully identified it for a long time, and didn't see where the other party looked like a squire of the Ministry of Works......

He sat on the ground with a pale face, it doesn't matter if the other party is a waiter of the Ministry of Works, not a waiter of the Criminal Department, it may be another waiter, or a powerful person......

It doesn't matter who he is, what matters is that the sky is falling!

He pointed outside in a bit of a hurry and said, "Quick, go to the mansion to call someone and tell Lord Zeng that something is wrong!" ”

At the same time, in the mansion of a certain official in Kyoto, a subordinate stood at the door of the room, lingered for a long time, and said with some doubts: "Why don't you get up yet, don't you go to court today?" ”

He finally couldn't help but knock on the door, then pushed the door in, looked at the empty bed, and said in surprise, "My lord! ”

Not long after, someone in the house hurriedly ran out of the door and went straight to the direction of the county office.

Along the way, there are not a few people who are as flustered as them.

Jingzhao Mansion.

Zeng Shichun actually got up not long ago, finished washing, and before he had time to beat the drum and ascend to the hall, a servant ran in from outside in a panic, and said with a pale face: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”

Zeng Shichun frowned and said, "What's the matter, talk slowly." ”

The official hurriedly said: "Forty officials and dignitaries in Beijing were robbed last night, and they were only discovered early this morning, and they were all tied up and kneeling in the ancestral hall of Shuangshuang girls!" ”

Zeng Shichun was stunned and asked, "How much do you say?" ”

"No more, no less, exactly forty."

As soon as the words fell, there was already a noisy sound at the entrance of the yamen.

"I'm going to report it, my family has lost it!"

"My lord is also lost!"

"My old man and second master are lost!"

……

Zeng Shichun's body shook, and he stood firm against the wall. More than 40 officials and magnates in Kyoto were all kidnapped ...... overnight, where are the bandits who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, where is this crime, this is clearly piercing the sky!

Before the palace, there was a ghost crying wolf, and above the palace and the main hall, the civil and military officials were all puzzled.

Without the slightest warning, the number of people in the court today is nearly two percent less than yesterday, and although the court hall will not become empty, the crowd has indeed become much more sparse.

The picket imperial history was standing in front of the line, one by one impeaching the officials who were absent from the court for no reason, and a eunuch ran in from the outside quickly, because he was too panicked, he fell when he entered the palace gate, and crawled in......

He knelt on the ground, and said in a panicked voice: "Your Highness, Jing Zhaoyin is in a hurry!" ”

A moment later, the originally quiet court instantly became in an uproar.

Above the main hall, the eldest princess stood up slowly, as if she had thought of something, and her face changed slightly.

One after another, with a certain ancestral hall as the center, spread within a few hours, and Kyoto was shaken!
