Chapter 315: Soldiers beat people

Zhang Yushi was eager to investigate the matter personally. As long as it was confirmed that someone instigated it, it could be concluded that this girls' school was a tool for some people to challenge the patriarchal power and the imperial power. This girls' school and the people behind it would all suffer.

The emperor did not tell him to appease those who surrounded the government office. Yushi was originally responsible for the clean atmosphere. The emperor only told her to solve the matter quickly. The government office was the face of the court.

The other adults also tacitly did not mention this matter.

Xie Yicheng and his ilk did not want to cause trouble, while Xu Mo and Zhao Hongye wanted to see Zhang Yushi add fuel to the fire.

The emperor clearly foresaw the risks, but did not mention a word. I don't know what his intention was.

Zhang Yushi was an old-fashioned person who believed that women should stay in the harem. He was opposed to the girls' school from the beginning.

However, at that time, the emperor was blinded by the little girl in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and had to rely on Su Bowen to go to the Western Border to work hard, so Su Lingxi became the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Since he found that the girls' school blocked his family's financial path, he has been impeaching the girls' school. The emperor didn't take it seriously because the girls' school did solve some problems.

This time, they dared to mention that women should participate in the imperial examinations and serve as officials in the court. This touched the emperor's sore spot, and the emperor would definitely not stop there.

Zhang Yushi received the emperor's order and transferred people from the city defense camp with the emperor to prepare for a big fight.

The first to suffer were those who were guarding outside the Yushi Terrace.

Zhang Yushi directly charged them with the crime of treason and disrespect for the government, and told them to leave quickly, otherwise he would drive them away.

An old woman said, "Sir, we have no choice. As long as you find a job for my daughter, we will leave now, and we promise not to hinder the official from doing his job."

Zhang Yushi snorted coldly, "Raising children is your responsibility as parents. If everyone is like you, relying on the government for everything, this government office will not be able to do its job. I think you are first-time offenders, so leave quickly. This official will... Let's let bygones be bygones!"

The old woman said, "You are right, my Lord. It is our parents' responsibility to raise our children. However, I am an old woman with no one to rely on. Originally, this child was to be sold to a wealthy family as a maid. It was Lord Su who took pity on us and took her to a girls' school, providing her with food and shelter and teaching her skills. Now she has finally learned a little bit of knowledge, and the school said that it is not her responsibility to raise children. Just close it, there is nothing I can do about it!"

Another person echoed, "That's right, sir. It is said that the closure of the school is the will of the court, and we dare not question the court. We just think that since the school is closed, then we poor people must have thought of a way out!"

Lord Zhang looked at the people in front of him with contempt and sneered, "The court has too many things to take care of. If even these trivial matters have to be solved by the court, how can the court operate? The civil and military officials must be exhausted to death. They simply don't know what they are. Get out of here!"

Those people said in unison, "Sir, we don't want to make trouble, but if we don't solve the livelihood problems of these girls, we have nowhere to go."

After that, they didn't argue with Zhang Yushi anymore, and just sat down one by one.

Zhang Yushi had lost his patience when he saw that they refused to accept his toasts. He waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, drive away these lowly people who are rebelling against the emperor and challenging the imperial power."

The people in the patrol camp received the order and went straight to drive them away.

The people were not willing to obey, and the two sides began to tear each other apart.

In the chaos, someone's stinky shoes hit Zhang Yushi's head directly.

Zhang Yushi was so angry that he shouted, "Are you from the city defense camp eating for free? Can't you even deal with a few powerless old women?"

The people in the city defense camp were ridiculed in this way, and they no longer cared that the other party was unarmed civilians, and directly used violence to drive them away.

Zhang Yushi thought that these people would be scared if someone came like this, and as long as Yushitai's people were driven away, others would not dare to do anything else.

But those people were not afraid of death, and they fought against the city defense camp with their weak bodies. Some people even shouted: "Sir, the officials are beating the people!"

Others complained: "Everyone, come and see, our wise emperor knows how to sympathize with the people, but this Sir Zhang said that we are not worth the court's trouble. Aren't the officers and soldiers here to protect us ordinary people? Why are they pointing their guns at us now?"

"The court doesn't treat us as human beings. Why did the girls' school close down? It's because we, the little people with no background, can make better things than the workshops of the aristocratic families, blocking their way to wealth. We have been enduring blindly, just to seek a way to survive, but the government wants to take our lives in broad daylight. It's death anyway, let's fight them!"

Those people became more and more excited. Most of the government offices were connected to one place. When they heard the movement of the Yu Shitai, people from other places also ran over and blocked Zhang Yu Shi and the people from the city defense camp.

If they really got serious, the people from the city defense camp would naturally come out easily, but that would definitely hurt the people.

At first, they didn't take these little people with no background seriously, but now, those people are talking nonsense. If the soldiers hurt people in broad daylight, they will be in trouble.

They are just temporarily assigned to serve Zhang Yushi, so there is no need to sacrifice their future for Zhang Yushi.

Therefore, they didn't take the breakout seriously.

Zhang Yushi stamped his feet in anger: "What are you still standing there for? These people are rebelling against the emperor. As the guards of the capital, are you just perfunctory about it? I am following the emperor's order to deal with these unruly people. Don't you even listen to the emperor's words?"

Zhang Yushi mentioned the emperor. The guards of the city defense camp asked their commander: "Sir, what should we do?"

The commander was also hesitant. When he came out, his superiors had told him to obey Zhang Yushi's orders.

But on the other side were the people!

Seeing that they still didn't move, Zhang Yushi took out the waist badge given by the emperor and ordered: "This official is doing his duty by order. You want to disobey orders? Why don't you drive these bastards away!"

Seeing the waist badge, the commander of the city defense camp didn't dare to be perfunctory anymore, and gave an order: "Brothers, go!"

The officers and soldiers drew their swords, and the cold sword blades dazzled people in the sun.

But the old, weak, women and children were not afraid at all. They didn't retreat, but urged the officers and soldiers to move closer.

The old woman who spoke first pulled the child and directly pressed her neck against the sword blade, saying: "Anyway, I can't live anymore, sir, please give us a quick death!"
