Her voice was not loud, but the crowd fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes were on her, listening to what she said.
Tang Shiyue said in a clear voice: "Thank you all for your kindness to me. Tang Shiyue is grateful." She bowed slightly.
Everyone waved their hands and said it was not necessary. Tang Shiyue continued, "But you can't do this. We are all law-abiding citizens in Dongfeng County. I am also a law-abiding citizen. We are all reasonable. The county magistrate is the parent official of the area. When he comes to lead the people, we will go. The county magistrate said that I used the art of nightmare to murder the royal family. I have never done such a thing and I will not do it. I believe that the county magistrate will handle it impartially. Everyone just wait with me."
Those who are familiar with her know that she is very angry.
She was determined to make the matter bigger, bigger than the sky!! That was why she had to occupy the reason.
She didn't tell a single lie, she comforted the people, she cooperated with the government investigation, and no matter what the other party did, it was not her fault... and under such circumstances, how could the government dare to touch her?
Magistrate Qin's legs were shaking and his sweat was pouring out, soaking his official robes.
Tang Shiyue and Meng Yiqiu were taken to the cell.
The door was closed, but more and more people gathered outside...surrounding the county government office in a dark mass.
...
...
You know, the people of this era are simple-minded and most of them value gratitude. Besides, Tang Shiyue is not just a benefactor, she is the goddess of fortune, she is the god of Qinzhou! She owns Yuefang, workshops, cement... How many people in Qinzhou have not worked for her?
County Magistrate Qin was in a dilemma and went to Zhong Yu Pavilion with trembling legs to seek advice from Yan Liangchou and others.
Yan Liangchou is not here.
Yan Tingyue had no idea how serious it was. She had red bumps all over her face and body, which itched unbearably, but she dared not scratch them. She was extremely irritated. When she heard that the people had surrounded the county government office, she said, "They are just some unarmed people. Can't your yamen runners beat them? Then you are really useless!"
County Magistrate Qin said anxiously: "It's not just one or two people, it's hundreds and thousands of people!"
"So what!" Yan Tingyue disagreed, "They have nothing to do so they just surrounded us, do they dare to rebel?"
She chuckled as if she found this very funny.
County Magistrate Qin was so anxious that he kept wiping his sweat and asked the attendant beside him, "Where did Mr. Yan go?"
Yan Liangchou went to pay homage to his biological father.
When we got there, we found that the heavy rain had collapsed the tomb, and the pine tree in front of the tomb had actually fallen down, breaking the tombstone.
He wanted to find someone to repair the tomb and carve a tombstone, but no one was willing to take the job. Some avoided him, some pushed him away, and after running around for the whole morning he didn't accomplish anything, so he had to go back.
When he returned to the town, he saw that the streets were full of people, especially in front of the county government office, which was packed with people. Yan Liangchou was also stunned.
Countless people looked at him like this. They kept whispering to each other: "It's him! He was the one who killed Lady Fu's beast yesterday!"
"It's retribution! The ancestral grave was hit by a tree!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. He wanted to hire someone to carve the stele. I said my hand was injured and I couldn't carve the stele, so I cut my hand off!"
"Brother Wang is truly righteous!"
"I don't deserve the credit. I just know that Lady Fu saved my family by vaccinating them. Everyone should remember this favor!"
"Exactly!"
The sound of discussions poured into his ears like a gusher, and Yan Liangchou didn't even know how he got in.
When County Magistrate Qin saw him coming back, he rushed forward and said, "Lord Yan, what should we do now?"
"Let her go!" Yan Liangchou's voice was shaking. "How could it become like this? Are you crazy? How dare you arrest someone like this? We don't know, and you don't know either!"
County Magistrate Qin really wanted to cry: "It has come to this, I...I can't just let them go! How can they let me go without an explanation! Mr. Yan," he knelt down: "You can't not save me! I am only following your orders!"
Yan Liangchou's mind went blank: "Let him go first! Anyway...let him go first!"
"No! Don't let her go!" Yan Tingyue shouted, throwing down the cups on the table: "Look at my face! She made me like this, if you don't kill her for me, I will never let you go!"
Yan Liangchou gasped heavily.
He stared at her for a long while, then suddenly laughed, "It's already like this... Even if you let her go, you can't escape."
He never expected that it was just an ordinary village girl. Since Yan Tingyue didn't like her, he could just kill her. In the end, how could it turn out like this! Why? Why is this! ?
Upon receiving Ding Jiu's urgent report, Emperor Ming Yan was so angry that he kicked over the table on the spot, and the accompanying officials were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
The emperor was inspecting the northwest, and all the officials along the way were on high alert, speaking and acting with caution. But something like this happened on the road ahead, which was like stabbing a knife into his heart!
Not to mention the prosperous Dayan, even in the previous dynasty and the dynasty before that, such a thing had never happened!
The accompanying officials all knelt on the ground, begging the emperor to return to the capital immediately and send troops to suppress the mob. "The emperor should not seek fortune by taking advantage of misfortune"!
Emperor Mingyan said coldly: "These are my people! They are the people of Dayan! They are petitioning for their benefactors. Thousands of people gathered outside the county government office, and no one hurt anyone. They are not a mob! It is those officials who eat the emperor's salary, flattering and acting recklessly that have caused the people to boil over! And those dogs who rely on others' power have harmed the country and the people, and their crimes should be executed!"
This guy is taking advantage of the power of others and is scolding his own family!
His crime deserves death! All the ministers were sweating when they heard this... Some people secretly cheered, thinking that this time, Yan Chengyuan was going to fall flat on his face.
Emperor Ming Yan issued three imperial edicts in succession.
The first step was to capture the newly appointed magistrate of Qin County, beat him with a hundred sticks in public, and escort him back to the capital for trial.
The second one was an edict to Yan Chengyuan, blaming him for "failure to teach his daughter and thus harming the country and the people!"
The third order was to order Yan Liangchou and Yan Tingyue to apologize to Tang Shiyue in public, and to bring him back to the capital and hand him over to Yan Chengyuan for strict discipline.
The imperial edict could not be transmitted in the open as fast as an eagle, so at this time, Tang Shiyue and Meng Yiqiu were still in jail.
The two of them really didn't suffer much.
These yamen runners all knew her, and as soon as they came in they felt like they were at home. One of them said, "This is my bedding. Don't be disgusted, Madam Fu. Just sit like this for now..." Another said, "This cup is clean. Madam Fu. Have some water."
Tang Shiyue thanked him with a smile, and she and Meng Yiqiu each held a cup of tea, and they sat in a cell and drank opposite each other.
Meng Yiqiu sighed, "I don't know what will happen! After all, her last name is Yan!"
Tang Shiyue asked: "Are you stupid or foolish?"
She sneered, "Plowing, vaccination, cement... all these things are beneficial to the country and the people. Now the emperor is touring the north, do you think he is just strolling around for fun? He is doing this for the world! Inspecting officials and keeping the people safe, maintaining stability, such as border military affairs, people's livelihood and economy... these are the top priorities! I am standing at the forefront of the storm right now. Anyone, remember, anyone, who goes against me, the emperor will protect me!"
Meng Yiqiu was startled, and Tang Shiyue continued, "Of course, I'm talking about it openly, but after all, 'it's better for the children to take care of their own'. So if the emperor is really blind and feels sorry for these two idiots who have no sense of the overall situation, then he will naturally deal with me secretly in the future. But that's a matter for the future. Now, I'll vent my anger first!"
Jia Eleven above his head slightly lowered his eyelashes.
This young county lady suffered a loss but did not learn her lesson. These few words were extremely disrespectful to the emperor and clearly speculated on his intentions. Of course, he had to remember to report it clearly and send her off.
