After Lin Yu came back, he said to Jiang Jie: "Gu Xing has already started to act."
"Yeah. Okay. Very good." Jiang Jie responded with a smile.
It is true that "thoughtful efforts may lead to the failure of flowers to bloom, while careless efforts may lead to the growth of willows into a shade."
I just casually thought of contacting Gu's company, but I didn't expect to get such a result.
Jiang Jie looked towards the Lord's Mansion with confidence and said with a smile, "We are just the ones who started the fire. From now on, we are just responsible for watching the show. Haha..."
I am really looking forward to the moment when Gu Qing’s case will be tried!
…
Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi worked together to eliminate several silver corpses.
"Brother Yuan, you are about to advance, right?!" Ruan Qi asked Fang Yuan as he approached.
"Yeah, just in the next one or two days." Fang Yuan replied with a smile.
"As expected, you're the fastest among us. It will take me at least a week to advance to the Battle School. As for Jin Chen..."
Speaking of Jin Chen, Ruan Qi sighed and said, "I'm afraid it will take at least twenty days for Jin Chen to advance to the combat school."
Since Jin Chen was promoted to war lieutenant, he has not been very interested in cultivation and completing missions.
Many times, when we asked him to work on a task together, he turned it down.
Especially now, I basically don’t do the same tasks as them.
Instead, he stayed in the water fort, staying with Father Jin, and didn't talk much with them.
Fang Yuan said, "He's different from us. We don't have much to do except practice and complete missions. But Jin Chen needs to take over the huge Jin family, even the entire Water Village. When we formed this temporary team, we agreed to respect each other's choices and that we could withdraw at any time. Jin Chen did nothing wrong."
Ruan Qi said helplessly, "It wasn't so obvious before. He used to make up excuses for not coming. Ever since Jiang Jie tried to win us over last time, Jin Chen has become much more distant from us. Now, he doesn't even bother to give us a reason for not coming to the mission."
"Okay, stop complaining. It's getting late. Let's get on with the mission. Let's try to clear one more wave before dark."
…
At noon the next day, Jinmao finally completed its layout and issued a notice.
The notice said that at the request of Duke Jiang, a public trial of Gu Qing's case would be held tomorrow.
Location: the square in front of the city gate; time: tomorrow at noon; anyone can participate, no limit on the number of people, no limit on level.
Because of this, the entire water fort began to make noise.
…
A conversation between two noble family heads.
"Have you heard? The murder case of Gu Qing will be publicly tried tomorrow."
"What?! This, this isn't nonsense! How can something like this be tried in public? This is outrageous!"
As for the affairs of the noble and lord families, they usually collected and understood the major changes of each family based on their own abilities.
These high-ranking news were all circulated secretly and were never disclosed to the people.
This is their tradition and the rules of the game of power.
This actually gives them a lot of invisible power and benefits.
I never thought that now, the secret affairs of the upper class would be put on public trial!
How can we let them accept this?!
"Haha...tradition? What a joke. Hasn't Jin Mao done enough to break tradition?"
"The greatest tradition is the feudal lord shogunate system. I didn't expect it to be gone now, replaced by a parliamentary system with a nominal monarch. If they can even change this fundamental system, what else can he not do?"
"Alas... these are troubled times!"
…
A conversation between two noble sons.
"How is it possible to make the murder of Lord Gu Qing public? This is the Lord's family's business. How can such a thing be made public? There has never been a precedent before!!"
"It certainly wasn't possible before, but now it's completely possible. We're in a parliamentary system now, and what matters is openness, justice, fairness, and mutual benefit. These important cases, in the interests of fairness and justice, naturally have to be heard in public."
"Wasn't the Gu Qing case already settled? Why is it still being tried in public now?"
"Perhaps, our understanding is somewhat distorted. But, isn't that the point? The point is, why is the murder of Gu Qing being tried publicly? Why was it proposed by Duke Jiang? Why is it being tried publicly at this time?"
"You're saying that the Gu family is colluding with the Jiang family to restore the monarchy? Oh my God! How is this possible?!"
"Haha... How is it impossible? The timing is perfect now. The Gu family has just passed away, the parliament has just been established, there have been some achievements, and a powerful neighbor is visiting. Haha, this timing is really perfect!"
…
A conversation between two common people.
"Publicizing the murder of Lord Gu Qing? How could we commoners possibly get involved in something like this?"
"Why not? We have a parliamentary system now. Everyone can participate in the affairs of the territory. Don't forget, among the council's management, there is a deacon who is of commoner origin."
"Yes, Lord Zhao, it's really amazing."
This Lord Zhao is the one who was elected into the management of the parliament and the old civilian.
He is the highest-ranking representative of the people in the ceremony.
Lord Zhao can be said to be a hero made by practical actions!
He originally had the intention to die and represented the cause of the rebellion, but he did not expect that Jin Mao would usurp power, and the parliamentary system was adopted.
A political game that allows members to participate.
"So, tomorrow, there will really be a public trial for Lord Gu Qing's murder?"
"It should be true."
"Alas, Lord Gu Qing, you actually did quite well. During those two years, you lived a life second only to what you have now."
"Yes, we know very little about the upper class. We only heard about the internal strife within the Gu family, and then there was the news that Lord Gu Qing was murdered. We only have a vague understanding of it. Now that the trial is open, we can learn the details in detail."
"Yes! I don't know exactly how Lord Gu Qing died. It's a pity. Not long after Lord Gu Qing died, the Gu family fell into decline. They went from being a lord family to the noble family they are today."
…
A conversation between two poor people.
"Have you heard? There will be a public trial tomorrow regarding the murder of Lord Gu Qing. Do you want to go?"
"I have to work and support my family. No."
"Hehe... I know there are many elderly, weak, women and children in your family, and you don't have time to rest, so I won't go to see them. Don't worry, I'll go and tell you the details when I come back."
"Actually, I'm not really interested in this. Life is pretty good now, even better than when Lord Gu Qing was here. I have job opportunities and hope. It feels like Lord Gu Qing was a thing of the past."
"That's right. I won't go and stir up trouble or anything. I'll just watch and listen to what happened in the murder of Lord Gu Qing. Just treat it as a big show."
There are no entertainment or cultural activities in the water fort, so the public trial of the murder of the former lord naturally became the hottest topic and the event with the most participants.
