Chu family.
"This, is this true..."
"Teacher, what, what should I do?"
"The public grievances outside are already boiling, he, they are coming here!"
…
The faces of several old men were full of anxiety, and they kept pacing in the hall. Because of the "Miaoyin Pavilion Murder Case", the Chu family had already been pushed to the forefront. Most of the children can still keep calm, but the ordinary people in the capital have lost trust in the Chu family and them.
Yesterday, a well-known Confucian scholar, just aimed at the Marquis of Li County, said "Sycophants are wronging the country" outside, then his head was smashed with a stone, his body was covered with rotten vegetables, and he was extremely embarrassed. When I got home, even the courtyard wall was knocked down.
The reason is that the source of this matter is still in the Chu family.
The Chu family was successful in the hearts of the people, but also lost in the hearts of the people, and lost the hearts of the people. The old man in front of him was nothing more than an ordinary old man.
Mrs. Chu sat on the chair with a calm face, without any expression, he just stared at the door blankly, as if thinking, but his eyes were empty.
A member of the Chu family ran in in a panic and shouted: "The people from the Ministry of Punishment are here!"
Several policemen came in from the outside, saluted the old man on the chair slowly, and the leader said: "Master Taifu, we suspect that Lingsun is related to a serious case, and please ask Mr. Chu to join us Take a trip."
A middle-aged man rushed out from the side and said loudly: "With your suspicion, can you take Ping'er away?"
The policeman quickly took out something from his sleeve, handed it forward, bowed and said: "Lord Chu, this is the arrest order of the Ministry of Punishment, please have a look."
However, the middle-aged man didn't look at the arrest order, and said coldly: "I am a member of the Chu family, can you take away as long as your punishment department says, without His Majesty's imperial decree, I don't think any of you dare to act rashly in the Chu family! "
Hearing the words, the arrester showed a little embarrassment on his face.
This is the Chu family. The Chu family is different from other families. With Mr. Chu here, even the members of the Ministry of Punishment should not be too presumptuous. Of course, if the Chu family is reasonable, things will naturally go smoothly. I have to ask your Majesty to make an order first.
The catcher looked at him, bowed and said: "In that case, I will take my leave first."
After those arresters left quickly, the middle-aged man walked up to Taifu Chu and said loudly: "Father, do you want to watch them take Ping'er away?"
"Qin Wen is right. The change of dynasties and the rise and fall of families are all days. How can any dynasty last forever, and how can any family last forever..." Taifu Chu got up from his chair with some difficulty, and murmured: "This old man is really old. This old man is easy to be confused, confused..."
"Father!"
"This matter, you can figure it out..."
Several police officers walked out of the gate of Chu's house, but they did not leave, because there was an endless crowd blocking them in front of them.
"Where's Chu Ping?"
"Why didn't the beast come out?"
"Is it because the Chu family won't let anyone go?"
…
Before the few police officers could reply, the crowd had already rushed up. Seeing the black crowd coming up, the concierge of the Chu family was terrified and immediately closed the door.
"Hand over Chu Ping!"
"Hand over the murderer!"
"Return Miss Shuangshuang's innocence!"
"Listen, people inside, you are already surrounded, hurry up and hand over Chu Ping!"
…
Inside Chu's house, they heard loud shouts from outside, and even the ground under their feet was shaking. The faces of several old men were all pale, and their hearts were terrified.
This voice, this formation, it is not difficult to imagine how many people there are outside. Once the gate of the Chu family is breached, the entire Chu family will be razed to the ground.
Inside the Chu family's ancestral hall, the old man with white hair and beard faced the spirit tablet of the ancestor of the Chu family, knelt on the futon, and burst into tears.
"The unworthy descendants... have shamed the ancestors of the Chu family!"
At the Jingdu County Office, County Magistrate Liu, who was flipping through the case file, was startled by the voice resounding through the capital, shivered suddenly, and dropped the pen in his hand to the ground.
In the palace, Li Mingzhu put down the memorial, walked slowly outside the palace, and looked at the sky beyond the palace wall.
"How's the situation outside?" She seemed to be talking to herself.
A female officer came over from the side and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the guards have been sent over, and nothing will happen."
In the Furong Garden, Emperor Jing slowly opened his eyes on the sickbed, and Chang De walked over and closed a window.
"Teacher Chu, it's a pity..."
Chang De narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "It is not a pity to delay His Majesty's illness..."
In the Li family, Li Yi covered the little guy's ears so that he wouldn't be startled by the sound from outside. When the first sound came over just now, he woke up the little guy who was taking a nap, and immediately burst into tears, finally coaxing him to sleep again Then, the sound from outside was still going on.
He covered Li Duan's ears with his hands, but there was a little melancholy and pity on his face...
At this moment, no matter whether they were in the capital or outside the capital, no matter what they were doing, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. Above the sky were scattered flying birds.
"Hand over Chu Ping!"
"Hand over Chu Ping!"
…
Chu family.
The closed door slowly opened, and everyone was about to rush in, but they couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw the old man with a cane in front of them, and the deafening voice gradually died down.
"All of this is the old man's fault."
Taifu Chu handed the crutches to the servants beside him, knelt down slowly in front of everyone, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am sorry for that girl, I am sorry for the ancestors of the Chu family, and I am sorry for the people of the world..."
"Grandpa, get up, it's not your fault."
After a sigh, a certain figure limped out from the crowd behind, walked up to Mrs. Chu, carefully helped him up, smiled, and said: "Kneeling is uncomfortable, old man When you are old, kneeling like this will hurt your legs and feet."
Two servants of the Chu family hurriedly supported Mrs. Chu.
Chu Ping didn't even look at the chattering crowd outside the door, and slowly knelt down in front of Mrs. Chu, and gave a heavy kowtow.
"I didn't kill Miss Shuangshuang on purpose... But, it's not important to say these things now."
"Before, you took me to so many places, saw so many scenery, met so many people, thank you very much."
Chu Ping kowtowed again, and when he got up, he said, "Everyone said that Kyoto is good. When I was outside, I always wanted to come back. Only when I came back did I realize that this capital is actually the most boring place." place… "
"Thank you... I'm sorry." He stood up, said something to Master Chu, then turned to face the mighty crowd outside Chu's house, and said loudly: "Everything that I, Chu Ping, did was done by me alone. Home has nothing to do with it!"
Plop!
boom!
boom!
boom!
He knelt down on both knees and kowtowed three times to the crowd.
After three beeps, there was no sound, he knelt there, and there was no more sound.
The policeman closest to him seemed to have thought of something, stepped forward and gently pushed him.
Chu Ping fell sideways, with a dagger stuck straight into his chest, and blood stained the skirt of his clothes.
