Chapter 909
Chapter 909
"Slander, slander."
"He, they slandered me."
Wang Can was the first to come to his senses, jumping up and roaring.
As he roared, the officials present also shouted along.
"What nonsense!"
"That's nonsense."
"They speak nonsense and confuse right and wrong."
"This, this is definitely a conspiracy of the Pacification Bureau."
"Through this method, they are trying to discredit us."
When saying this, Wang Changhe, Wang Can and others no longer mentioned the incident of crashing into the palace gate.
Each of them, feeling guilty, rushed towards the newsboys mixed in the crowd with their own disciples.
When he saw someone paying to buy the [Zhenfusi Newspaper], he shouted at the top of his lungs, "You are not allowed to buy it."
"These are all rumors!"
"Didn't you hear that?"
However, the water army lurking in the crowd began to set the pace at this time.
“If you are upright, you fear no slander!”
"If you were really being slandered, why would you be so nervous?"
"That's right! It's probably because he's guilty as a thief."
Upon hearing this, Wang Changhe and the others shouted in frustration, "Nonsense!"
"We just don't want our reputations to be ruined by those villains from the Pacification Bureau."
After he finished speaking, the popular keyboard warrior, Passerby A, stepped forward and said, "Haha. Lord Xu is revered as 'Xu Qingtian'."
"Of all the cases he's judged, he's dared to have them published in the [Zhenfusi Newspaper], and which one wasn't based on irrefutable evidence?"
"Do we believe in you, the hypocritical hypocrites? Or do we believe in Mr. Xu, who is dedicated to the people?"
"Everyone says so, right?"
"Correct!"
Although Xu Shan is not liked and even hated in the circle of powerful people, he has real prestige in the circle of ordinary people in the capital.
Counting every case he investigated after arriving in Beijing, no matter who was involved, he investigated it to the end.
While pleading for the people, how many unjust, false and wrong cases have been overturned on their behalf?
Therefore, when Passerby A took the lead in saying these things, the scene erupted in thunderous applause.
"you you……"
"How dare you frame me?"
"Come, come, arrest them all."
Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, the officials headed by Wang Changhe immediately used their official authority to order the servants and guards who came with them to suppress the situation by force.
Originally, Shangguan Yan'er had allowed the situation to develop, but after seeing this scene, she quickly waved her hand to signal the imperial guards to stop it.
What a joke.
Are you not allowed to publicize anything that is disadvantageous to you?
Do you really think you are a big shot?
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just as both sides made some unusual movements, a sharp sound of horse hooves resonated from far away and reached everyone's ears.
After hearing the sound, everyone at the scene subconsciously looked over.
At the corner, before the troops and horses arrived, the flag fluttering in the wind was revealed first.
No matter how far away they were, many people at the scene exclaimed in surprise after seeing the pattern and logo of the flag clearly.
"Yes, it's the Flying Fish Banner!"
"The flying fish flag of the Inspectorate."
As soon as she finished speaking, that touch of crimson was fully revealed in front of everyone, surrounded by the Jinyiwei.
"Xu, Lord Xu!"
"It's Master Xu."
"Come, I'm here to take you in."
Among the common people, several people in the navy on the high ground pointed their fingers at Wang Changhe, Wang Can and other officials without any concealment.
The servants and guards who had been ordered to capture these sailors and newsboys suddenly lost their initial arrogance and retreated a few steps.
Even the disciples who came with them consciously kept a distance from their "mentor".
They dared to run to the gate of the palace to "die in protest" under the instigation of their own teacher. But they really didn't dare to face "Xu Yanwang", who was known as the evil god.
I came here to gain a good reputation and the title of a respected teacher, not to commit suicide.
"Jinyiwei enter the palace to report!"
"Anyone who is outside please get out of the way immediately."
‘Wow! ’
When Zhang Liansong, who was carrying the Flying Fish flag, shouted with all his might, the people who were originally standing on the imperial road quickly moved to both sides like frightened birds.
This time, not only them, but even the entourage and servants of these dozen officials did not hesitate.
Even some of his disciples joined the "crowd".
This also meant that in front of the palace gate, only the "die-for" ministers headed by Wang Changhe, Wang Can and others, and a handful of disciples were left.
Such a scene formed a sharp contrast with the grand scene that had just been kneeling outside the palace gate.
"You, you guys..."
Looking at his disciples hiding in the crowd, several ministers pointed their spears at them with angry eyes.
'Whoa.'
But before they could curse, the Jinyiwei led by Xu Shan had already followed their master, reined in their horses and stood in front of everyone.
Obey orders and be uniform!
'Uh-huh. '
Especially when Xu Shan dismounted, the sound of the Jinyiwei wearing cloud boots and stepping on the ground resounded throughout the palace gate.
At this moment, there was complete silence in front of the huge palace gate!
'Snap, snap.'
After a few breaths, Xu Shan tidied up his official uniform, held a memorial in his hand, and strode forward.
The Jinyiwei behind him stood still, holding their horses, and did not follow.
But even so, Xu Shan, who was a single-handed army, gave officials such as Wang Changhe and Wang Can a great sense of oppression.
Especially when Xu Shan got closer to them, the few disciples who were there also subconsciously dodged away.
Even Wang Changhe, Wang Can and others moved their bodies to leave the center line of the ecliptic.
I thought...
Xu Shan would stop in front of them, confront them in public, and tell them the charges published in the [Zhanfusi Newspaper].
They had all prepared their own arguments in their minds, ready to argue with him.
But who would have thought that Mr. Xu, with his head held high, would pass by them and walk towards Shangguan Yan'er with a strong and powerful voice.
Throughout the whole process, he didn't even glance at them.
He completely ignored these ministers who had tried to remonstrate with him until death.
This is no longer just ignoring, but naked contempt.
"Commander Shangguan..."
"The Lin family in the capital has colluded with rebels to create chaos in the city, attempting to overthrow the imperial power. The evidence is irrefutable, and all members must be brought to justice."
'Wow.'
Xu Shan's sudden words really caused an uproar.
The evidence is conclusive and everyone is brought to justice?
All the Lin family members were arrested?
"During a thorough investigation of the case, we discovered that some of the court officials were in cahoots with the perpetrators. We also uncovered irrefutable evidence, totaling more than three boxes..."
"Because it involves third and fourth rank ministers such as Wang Changhe, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Wang Can, the Junior Supervisor of the Ministry of Rites, I have entered the palace to request permission."
'Plop.'
Just as Xu Shan finished speaking, several officials who had been staring at him behind him collapsed to the ground with pale faces.
If the arrest of all members of the Lin family gave them a glimmer of hope, then the discovery of more than three boxes of solid evidence would make these people completely despair.
Those "black data" are the leverage that the Lin family has over me!
It's over, it's over!
