Jingzhou government office.
I didn't get enough sleep because my wife asked me to give a lecture last night.
Qin Yuan was taking a nap in the house openly as usual.
Chen Wujiu and Wei Wuyin are both away. He is the most powerful person in the entire Jingzhou. Which ignorant official would dare to say anything against him?
As for the censors in the Censorate who are responsible for supervising all officials, who would set their sights on the Qingshui Yamen, Jingzhou Prefecture?
They cannot be allowed to gain a good reputation, nor can they be allowed to gain enough benefits.
Qin Yuan had nothing to worry about, so he slept soundly.
In no mood.
While he was sleeping, a petty official stumbled in and shouted, "President Qin, President Qin, something terrible has happened!"
Qin Yuan was awakened by the shouting. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked impatiently, "Speak slowly, what happened?"
The petty official was panic-stricken and said in a trembling voice, "Qin... Lord Qin... something terrible has happened in Jingzhou!"
"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Qin Yuan frowned slightly and handed the clerk a cup of tea.
What could happen in Jingzhou?
There can't be anyone rebelling again.
The clerk took the teacup, took a sip, and after calming down, he said quickly, "The students in Jingzhou City are about to rebel!"
"They gathered in large numbers and marched in the streets to demonstrate, but I don't know what they wanted to do!"
"Master Qin, what do you think we should do?"
"Should we send yamen runners to drive the scholars away to prevent any trouble?"
Qin Yuan frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "No, it's better to ease than to block. It's normal for scholars to feel resentful about the rising book prices."
"If we suppress their resentment with drastic measures at this moment, it will only lead to greater disasters."
The clerk asked again, "Then, Mr. Qin, what do you think we should do?"
"Such a big thing happened, the people in Jingzhou government office can't escape responsibility at all!"
Qin Yuan muttered, "Go and invite Li Dejian, the commander of the patrol battalion. Such a big matter is beyond the reach of a small Jingzhou government office."
"Yes!" The clerk did not dare to delay and hurried out to find Li Dejian.
If something goes wrong with this kind of thing and is blamed on Jingzhou Prefecture, they might lose their lives!
Qin Yuan held his forehead, speechless.
You can sit at home and something bad may happen to you.
He was just living a good life, but who knows who planned this incident and made him get into trouble for no reason.
The destinations of these scholars are nothing more than two places.
First, the imperial city was instigated by the aristocratic families, who wanted to take advantage of the resentment of the scholars to force Yan Jiaoran to withdraw the decree of paying labor service according to the amount of land.
The second reason for the family's base was instigated by stupid women, who wanted to deal a heavy blow to the family's reputation.
The people of the aristocratic family have been arrogant and domineering for most of their lives. How could they tolerate such a situation?
If there was any bloody incident that caused unrest, he would probably be blamed for no reason!
…
Xie Mansion in Chen County.
Zhen Jian's broadsword went straight for Ma Zhou's neck.
The students and people who were watching closed their eyes, unable to bear to watch.
However.
After a long time, they didn't hear Ma Zhou's screams, and then they slowly opened their eyes.
The blade of the long sword actually stopped at Ma Zhou's neck. If it weren't for the cold light on the blade, everyone would have thought it was an unopened useless sword.
Looking more closely, it turned out that a black iron hand was tightly clamped on Zhen Jian's wrist, which saved Ma Zhou's life.
The owner of the Iron Palm wore a bronze helmet and iron armor, had broad shoulders and a thick waist, and had an indigo face and red eyebrows.
Yes——Li Dejian!
Li Dejian, the son of Li Yaoshi, the god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Thanks to the outstanding military achievements of his father Li Yaoshi, he was rewarded as the commander of the patrol camp, mainly responsible for the public security of Jingzhou City.
His appearance could not help but give some fearful scholars more confidence.
Pharmacist Li is the most sought-after figure in the entire Great Zhou. Who in the world would dare not show some respect to him?
Li Dejian opened his eyes wide and shouted sternly, "Hey!"
"Zhen Jian, you are so brave!"
"Don't you know that I'm the commander of the patrol camp?"
"Don't you know that I'm responsible for the daily security of Jingzhou?"
"In broad daylight, you dare to commit a crime in the streets of Jingzhou City. Do you still respect the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Do you still respect my father?"
"Be careful, or I'll catch you and lock you up in the patrol camp for a few days!"
Zhen Jian had the support of the Xie family of Chenjun, so naturally he was unwilling to lose face.
Besides, no matter what, they are right in this matter!
So, he said viciously: "General Li, this is not my fault!"
"It was clearly this fellow who wanted me to chop him, so I drew my sword and attacked!"
"If you don't believe me, ask them. They can all testify."
Hearing this.
Li Dejian turned his head, looked at Ma Zhou, and asked, "Did you ask them to chop you down?"
Ma Zhou nodded and said calmly, "Yes, Commander Li, it was I who said that."
"If you're worried about your official hat, take it from me!"
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
Although Li Dejian saved him, in Ma Zhou's eyes, he and the aristocratic families were no different. He came here at this time, perhaps to support the aristocratic families, so naturally he didn't look at him in a good mood.
Li Dejian asked again: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Death?" Ma Zhou raised his head and howled, "Who wouldn't be afraid of death?"
"But that bastard family actually raised the price of books twenty times. I probably have no hope of passing the imperial examination in this lifetime. Why should I be afraid of death?"
"I have only one life left, so I'll just die!"
