Fortunate enough to transmigrate, and born into a landlord's family, I will never lack food or clothing in this life, yet I don't want to just drift along. So, Fu Xiaoguan casually did a fe...
When Xi Xunmei saw Fu Xiaoguan turn around and walk out, he thought that he could finally try the case in peace, but then he was dumbfounded again.
The crowd in front of the yamen was getting excited again!
The thunderous cheers seemed to welcome a hero returning in triumph; even the sound of his gavel being banged down was drowned out by the high-pitched sea of sound.
Even the yamen runners standing solemnly on both sides of the hall turned their heads to look outside. They saw Fu Xiaoguan holding his hands high, saying loudly as he walked, "Fathers and fellow villagers, hello!"
"Hello, little official!"
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow villagers!"
"Thank you for your hard work, little official!"
"Evildoers will eventually be punished!"
"Good people will be rewarded!"
“……!”
What can be done?
Xi Xunmei had been the Minister of Justice for five years and had tried countless cases, but this was the first time he had encountered such a scene.
He was not angry, but smiled and just shook his head.
With this guy in the capital, the capital seems to have a bit more life. If this guy goes to the Golden Palace after the court opens tomorrow, I'm afraid the Golden Palace will also be a bit more interesting.
That’s great!
Fu Xiaoguan finally walked into the crowd. He suddenly shouted in the crowd: "If Heaven had not given birth to me, Fu Xiaoguan, the world would be like a long night forever!"
Then the crowd roared, "If Heaven hadn't given me Fu Xiaoguan..."
This continuous yet uniform sound resounded throughout Shangjing. The crowd actually followed Fu Xiaoguan, shouting as they walked: "If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, Fu Xiaoguan..."
This... People in the shops on both sides of the street ran out, and the windows on the second floor that were originally closed were opened. People stuck their heads out, and then they were all surprised and asked questions. After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, these people who came to the capital suddenly became happy.
After the bloody battle on the long street yesterday, Fu Xiaoguan had already become a hero in their hearts. Last night, Prince Hui actually dared to do something that was outrageous to both humans and gods. Fortunately, Fu Xiaoguan was lucky enough to survive.
Today, in the government office, Fu Xiaoguan scolded Prince Hui until he vomited blood, and everyone felt relieved. Fu Xiaoguan represented the millions of people in Shangjing City. His voice was the voice of so many people. The words he cursed Prince Hui were the words these people wanted to curse but dared not say.
Today, Fu Xiaoguan cursed heartily, and they felt as if it were themselves. It is true that if Fu Xiaoguan had not been born, the world would be as dark as ever!
The huge crowd followed Fu Xiaoguan through the streets and alleys and arrived at March Alley.
Fu Xiaoguan waved his hands, and the voices of the huge crowd gradually died down.
He roared at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, this is Prince Hui's Mansion. I promise you, under the guidance of the Empress Dowager, I, Fu Xiaoguan, will absolutely destroy Prince Hui's Mansion to ashes! This is the law of justice. Even a prince who breaks the law will be punished just like the common people!"
"Therefore, in the clear and bright world, there are gods above us. I hope that the people of Dayu can be wholeheartedly good, and when faced with evil, they can unite to punish it. In this way, Dayu can prosper, and in this way, many evils can be stopped."
"Beautiful are the people of the Yu Dynasty, who will live forever! Magnificent are the people of the Yu Dynasty, who will live as long as the country! I, your humble servant... encourage you all!"
The roar like a tsunami resounded in March Alley, and even the snow accumulated on the dead willows was shaken off. However, the people in Prince Hui's mansion were trembling in the thunderous cheers.
…
"What on earth does he want to do?"
This question was asked by Yan Shidao, and in fact many people asked the same question at this moment.
For example, Shi Chaoyuan of the Shi clan, Fei Bang and Fei Wu of the Fei clan, Qin Huizhi of the Qin clan, Xue Zhe of the Xue clan. Of course, there is also the fifth prince Yu Wendao, the eldest prince Yu Wentian, the fourth prince Yu Wenshu, and so on.
Yan Beixi's answer to Yan Shidao was: "Take advantage of the situation!"
“What’s the significance of this?”
"Promoting the Queen Mother's name... This person is just after fame, especially the Queen Mother. This kid has ruined this chess game. Even if Prince Hui survives, he will suffer a lot!"
There were many similar responses, but only the Fourth Prince, Yu Wenshu, smiled calmly, "If Heaven had not given me, my humble servant, the world would have been dark forever. This man is becoming more and more interesting. This prince would like to meet him."
Behind the Fourth Prince stood a woman in white, wearing a mask. Her voice was icy cold, "When will Your Highness plan to meet him?"
"Let's wait until after the second day of the second lunar month... If he's still alive, then we'll meet."
Fu Xiaoguan persuaded everyone to leave and took Susu and Yan Xiaolou away in the snow.
He also tried to persuade Yan Xiaolou, but the girl seemed not to listen. He couldn't chase her away, so he had to take her with him.
He is going to Shuiyue Temple!
I was going to go yesterday, but I didn't expect to be delayed by an unexpected incident.
The day before yesterday, news came from Xiyu Tower that a man in black had entered Shuiyue Temple and had not come out. Until now, no news has been received from Xiyu Tower, which means he has not come out yet... This made Fu Xiaoguan have many associations, but the nun was said to be very old, which seemed unlikely.
So what did they do?
The three of them walked in the wind and snow, speaking very little. Su Su only looked at Wuweizhai on Chang Street when they passed by it. The door was not open yet. Thinking of the big bag of broken cakes, she felt a little unhappy, so she went to the small stall next to it and bought a candy man.
"Would you like to have one?"
Yan Xiaolou shook her head. As the daughter of the Yan family, she couldn't be as carefree as Su Su, licking a candy man in the street.
"It tastes great, why not try it?"
"Thank you Miss Su, it's really not necessary."
Well, Susu couldn't understand, just like Yan Xiaolou couldn't understand Susu.
The three continued to move forward. The long street had returned to its previous appearance. No one knew where the corpses had been cleared away. The snow on the ground covered up yesterday's blood. If it weren't for the broken frames on both sides of the street, it would be difficult to see any traces of yesterday's bloody battle.
Just like that, the three of them arrived at Shuiyue Alley.
Yan Xiaolou didn't know what Fu Xiaoguan wanted to do. She thought Fu Xiaoguan was just strolling around casually. She still thought so until Fu Xiaoguan stopped in front of Shuiyue Temple.
Could it be that he is going to worship Nuwa?
The Shuiyue Temple is not very popular. Even if you want to worship, you should go to the City God Temple.
Fu Xiaoguan looked up at the plaque of Shuiyue Temple. The three large characters were already mottled and their former colors could not be distinguished.
The door of the nunnery was ajar, and the copper ring on the door was dull.
He walked over and pushed the door open with a creak. What he saw was a patio with a rockery and a fish pond in the patio. Next to the fish pond was a plum tree with plum blossoms in full bloom, adding a touch of color to the originally black and white background.
There is a well under the plum tree, and the wheel on the well is covered with a layer of snow.
He walked in, crossed the courtyard, entered the corridor, and then entered the main hall.
There were only a few oil lamps in the main hall, and the light was quite dim.
The statue of Nuwa is in the main hall. In the dim light, it looks lifelike. However, the statue is already mottled, and only a few places can show traces of its former golden body.
There is an incense burner on the altar in front of the statue, with a half-burned incense stick in it.
The smoke curls up, adding a hint of incense flavor.
Fu Xiaoguan looked around and was about to go around the statue when he saw a door on the side open and an old nun in black clothes walked out.
"Are you here to ask for divination or to burn some incense?" The old nun stood in front of Fu Xiaoguan and asked with a gesture of faith with one hand.
"You just don't miss Master?"
"That's right, old nun."
"This temple doesn't look very popular."
"It's alright. Mortals are blind and can't recognize Nuwa's true form. Later...when the goddess shows her holiness, the incense will naturally flourish."
Fu Xiaoguan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "You haven't given up yet?"
The question was baffling, but the old nun was startled and twirled the rosary in her hand. "I don't know what you mean, sir."
"Oh, nothing serious, just asking casually."
He took a few steps and came to the side door. He peeked inside. There was no light inside, it was pitch black. It seemed that even the windows were covered.
"Master, it's like this. I, no, have a cat that's lost. My servants said it went into Shuiyue Temple, so I came here to look for it. It's a pitch-black cat. I wonder if Master has seen it?"
Nun Bu Nian frowned slightly, "I have never seen your cat."
"Oh... My cat is worth thousands of taels of silver. It has been with me for many years. I can't let it get lost. So, Master, can I look for it everywhere?"
Su Su licked the candy man and stared at Fu Xiaoguan's back in amazement. What was this guy going to do? Where was his cat?
Yan Xiaolou was also confused and wondered if Fu Xiaoguan still had doubts about this place?
He certainly wasn't attacking without reason. In Yan Xiaolou's heart, Fu Xiaoguan's words and actions were all very meaningful, and he was not comparable to those young men in the capital.
Nun Bunian was shocked. This was a conspiracy, and she could only agree. If he really found that secret place, it would be very bad.
She never expected that Fu Xiaoguan would come to this place. What should she do now?
"Master, guess where my cat is hiding?"
The rosary in Master Butian's hand was spinning rapidly, and Fu Xiaoguan's sight fell on the rosary. He knew that he had come to the right place, there must be something fishy here!
"In that case, please do as you please, sir." Nun Bunian thought that the place was so secretive that it was impossible for him to know about it.
"Thank you, Master!"
Fu Xiaoguan and Susu walked into the side room. Yan Xiaolou thought for a moment, took an oil lamp and walked in. Master Bunian knelt in front of the statue of Nuwa, silently reciting scriptures in her heart, but she was begging Fu Xiaoguan to leave as soon as possible.
Not long after, Fu Xiaoguan walked out of the room with a stick in his hand, on which was a pair of even pretty underwear.
"Master, you are a bit unfaithful to your husband!"
