great mandate

The largest restaurant in Meizhen is not open to the public today, but it is also very lively, with its doors closed, many tables and banquets are set up inside, and all the seats are local bureaucrats and family gentry.

Everyone whispered to each other, all looking a little dignified.

Shen Wuji thought that he had done a secret job in dispatching troops these few days, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, besides, they have "gods" to help them, and they have their own sources of rumors in private. Numerous murders over the past decade.

When the news came out, they were naturally shocked and flustered.

Because, if you want to talk about it, few of these people here can escape.Or do it yourself, or give convenience in this matter, or make an idea from it... After so many years, so many lives, such a big thing, how can one, two or even a dozen people can do it of?Because of this, they may have had some concerns at first, but later they comforted each other and "thought it out": since ancient times, the law does not punish the crowd, one person does it, ten people do it, and one day the court knows about it, and maybe it will be used again. People caught and beheaded, but if one hundred people do it, two hundred people do it, and even if you implicate me, I will get on you again. Most of the people in the town are more or less involved, so ask the court if it is possible to pay back? Dare to investigate?At that time, instead of investigating the case, it will be massacring the city. Dare I ask the whole country, which official dares to bear such a notoriety through the ages?It's the emperor Lao Tzu, how dare he?

The more people there are, the less afraid they will be. If there are more people, even if what you do is wrong, it will become right.

——They originally thought so.Therefore, when Shen Wuji said that as long as they handed over ten people, although they were dissatisfied, they felt that the loss was acceptable, so they cheered up and bargained on the spot, including the old man who was beaten to death by Shen Wuji in the street. In this list of ten people.How to put it, people die, so save a quota.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wuji, a shameless eunuch, would dare to do that stupid thing!Sure enough, it is something that has no roots and no descendants, so I am not afraid of doing this immoral thing of cutting off children and grandchildren!

——That's what they scolded.

Cursing is scolding, self-protection is self-protection, these people went to seek asylum each, while planning to leave the town to avoid the limelight, and at the same time trying to spread the news to the outside world, but they did not expect that Shen Wuji, the eunuch, had long been prepared and set up various places on the outskirts of Meizhen. Lay an ambush and intercept the message and those who want to escape one by one.

Just when they were panicking, fortunately, Jiao Xian, who had been enshrined for so many years, appeared.

Jiaoxian entrusted his dream and said that he had informed the nobles about this and told them not to be afraid.

Everyone was unavoidably still a little dubious, but then, they heard the news that Shen Wuji was driven out of Meizhen in the middle of the night, and they immediately believed in Master Jiaoxian even more. The "imperial envoy" must be the noble person Jiaoxian said, and he might be "one of my own people", so I relaxed a lot, and I was not in a hurry to abandon the family business and flee. I heard that the imperial envoy invited them to a restaurant to discuss important matters , all went at once.

Gathering together, before the imperial envoy arrives, everyone will inevitably talk in groups of three or four, or curse the eunuchs, or discuss ideas, or speculate on the imperial envoy's intentions and actions.

Just as they were talking in full swing, they suddenly heard "The imperial envoy has arrived", and the huge restaurant suddenly fell silent. They all looked towards the door, and saw a young man in a silk brocade suit sitting on a wheelchair, being held by him. The man slowly pushed over, followed by a few local officials in official uniforms, laughing along the way.

Could it be that this sickly-looking person is the imperial envoy?Everyone was a little puzzled and looked at each other.

Although they hated that eunuch Shen, but when it comes to the adults from the capital, they should have a bit of the prestige of that Shen.Why doesn't this guy even wear an official uniform?It also looks like the wind can blow away, and she is still in a wheelchair... Is there such a high-ranking official in the court?

Jun Tianci had a full view of everyone's suspicious looks, but he remained calm.

His guards pushed him to the head of the main table, and the local officials also went to the side, looked around, coughed a few times, and said loudly: "Introduction to you, this is the one who saved us from Meizhen." The savior who was slaughtered innocently, Mr. Imperial Envoy, Mr. Jun. If there is no Mr. Jun, we don’t know if we still have a head on our necks today!”

As he spoke, he winked.Everyone understood, and immediately knelt down layer by layer. While kneeling, they called "Master Imperial Envoy" and "Savior", mixed with those who called for injustice and kowtow.

Jun Tianci leaned lazily on the back of the wheelchair, looking at these idiots in front of him, with a peaceful face, kind eyes, and a smile on his mouth, but his heart was as cold as before, and he had nothing but boredom and dislike for this world. thing.

He hates this world for nothing more than he hates the world, because everyone in the world is greedy, selfish, dirty, boring, ignorant, and poisonous.

From the emperor to the beggar, without exception.

All filthy and stinky.

As well as himself.

It is no different from the dung in the latrine.

There shouldn't be people in this world, people hinder the beauty of this world, even the flowers, plants, sun, moon and stars are affected, and they become vulgar together.

Jun Tianci withdrew his thoughts, and said in a gentle voice: "You don't need to be like this, I'm weak and too noisy, so get up."

The local officials hurriedly passed on the word, telling everyone to stop yelling.

Everyone quickly quieted down and looked at the nobleman eagerly.

With a smile on his face, Jun Tianci said slowly: "There's no need to say it so shockingly. Mr. Shen wouldn't do that. There's absolutely no reason to massacre a city. You're just chasing after wind and shadow."

A senior old man sighed and said: "Master Jun looks like a kind and compassionate face, so naturally he would not have thought of such a scary thing, but other people may not have the heart of a bodhisattva like Lord Jun."

Everyone agreed one after another, their tone was a bit yin and yang.

"Yeah, not necessarily all people in this world, who knows some..."

"There are some people who have no descendants left and right. They wish to drag everyone to join him. Who knows what they think? How can ordinary people think of it?"

"If you think about it, you know, something without roots may mean how dark your heart is."

"I'm no longer a human being."

Ever since Shen Wuji came to Meizhen, they had slapped them countless times. They hated Shen Wuji deeply. Although they still dare not call him by his name, they couldn't bear it any longer. The eunuchs are right in front of them, so that they can vent their anger by eating their own flesh and blood.

Looking at their angry and mean faces when they spoke, Jun Tianci felt even more tired.

Shen Wuji is certainly not a good thing, but at least his face can still be seen. These ugly guys don't know why they need to live, they are burnt to ashes, and they are probably more pleasing to the eye than they are now.

Jun Tianci was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it in the slightest, he just watched and listened sleepily.He has always been a sick man, others only think that he is weak and weak, and will not feel anything else.

Listening to these ugly things, it was so easy to scold Shen Wuji eccentrically. Jun Tianci coughed for a while, and then said softly: "I'm weak, and I can't stay long, so I'll get straight to the point. Don't panic, everyone, Shen Gong has returned to Beijing by order. I will come again. I will transfer back the officers and soldiers he transferred inside and outside Meizhen one by one. Mr. Shen is the eunuch in charge of the etiquette supervisor. He has a high position and authority. It is natural for him to come here for office work and bring some guards. Everyone, please don’t go around saying that you want to massacre the city. It’s a matter, it’s not a big deal to scare people’s hearts by telling the story, but it’s a big deal to make foreigners see the joke.”

Everyone watched their words and expressions, and hurriedly responded.

Jun Tianci heard them echo for a while, stopped, and continued: "Mr. Shen ordered Dongchang Jinyiwei to investigate the Meizhen evil god case for a long time, and reported it to the capital city..."

Everyone's expressions darkened again, and they winked at each other.

Jun Tianci was a little tired, curled up a little more, took a few breaths, and continued weakly, "Don't worship that evil god in the future, and don't make offerings anymore, and the imperial court won't ask you to return your previous money. Just don’t do that again in the future, and let the past go.”

Not to mention whether we will continue to worship Jiaoxian in the future, in short, now that we have the promise of forgetting the past from the court, everyone is relieved, and hastily praised the current emperor and Lord Jun for their sageness.

Jun Tianci arranged a few more things, asking these people to turn around to put on a show, to find a name to be a salvation for those dead souls, and was about to say "this is the end of this matter", when suddenly heard There was a faint noise, accompanied by the beating of drums.

This restaurant is the most respectable and high-end restaurant in Meizhen on weekdays. Among other things, the location is very good. It is at the central street of Meizhen, just one street away from the official office of Meizhen.

Jun Tianci heard that the noise was unusual, turned his face slightly, and glanced at the local officials beside him.

The official hurriedly asked someone to go outside to see what was going on.

But after a while, the man ran back and reported: "If you want to answer your Excellency, there are people beating drums in the government office!"

The officials hurriedly asked: "Who played the drums? What is the matter?"

The man glanced at him, then at Jun Tianci, and said, "It seems to be the one who is going to marry Lord Jiaoxian...that scholar! That Luo Jinyu!"

Jun Tianci raised his eyelids, and said softly, "Oh? Mr. Shen is here too?"

The man said: "Not here, just the scholar, I didn't see anyone else!"

Jun Tianci was slightly startled: "Is he alone?"

"Yes, he is the only one." The man said, "But he seems to have a close relationship with Eunuch Shen, so the yamen servants didn't dare to touch him, and they didn't know what happened to him, so they only dared to ask him to persuade him. Don't talk, just play the drum there."

Jun Tianci sighed silently, and said, "Go and have a look."
