After Li Linfu fell, the emperor also followed the advice of his ministers and granted a general amnesty to the whole country. He used the confiscated property of Li Linfu to offset half of the world's taxes for half a year, and ordered retrials of cases in various places.

Unjust cases and wrong cases continued all over the world, so the Jingzhao Mansion became busy again.

But because of this, Li Jiuzhou was able to seize an opportunity.

After getting the opportunity to get close to the imperial concubine, Li Jiuzhou would be summoned to the palace by the emperor and the imperial concubine from time to time.

That day, as soon as I came back from the palace, I saw a group of ragged people holding torches at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, angrily confronting the officers and soldiers at the gate.

The weirdo in the lead had his body covered with fire oil, and the torch in his hand was ready to be lit on fire at any time.

He was called a weirdo because his hair fell off as if it had been burned, revealing patches of pale scalp. The skin on his face shrank and wrinkled into a ball. His face was ferocious, three-quarters like a human and seven-quarters like a ghost. It was very scary.

people.

The weirdo's body was covered with kerosene, and the torch in his hand was ready to be lit at any time. There was endless anger in his hoarse voice: "If the murderer is not severely punished, we will die together with Jingzhao Mansion today."

After waiting for a moment, when there was no response, the weirdo roared angrily, lit a torch on his body, and rushed towards the inspection court like a ball of fire.

The soldiers held the bows and arrows that had been strung up in their hands and took a few steps back in panic. They didn't know what to do and no one dared to release the first arrow.

It is the time when the emperor is granting amnesty to the whole country. The current imperial court pays attention to the sentiments of the people. If it provokes a popular uprising, no one can bear the responsibility.

A group of officers and soldiers from the Jingzhao Mansion were frightened. He did not expect that this weirdo would really set him on fire. What on earth could have caused him to even risk his life?

A group of people watched nervously as the fireball got closer and closer to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, and they all panicked.

With a whoosh, an arrow hit the man's chest. The strange man fell to the ground with fire all over his body, roaring and wailing on the ground.

Wan Nanshan looked at this scene in disbelief. The murderer was his immediate boss, Li Jiuzhou, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion who was known as Qingtian.

The cold expression on his face seemed like nothing in the world could scare him.

Li Jiuzhou threw the bow to the soldiers behind him, "I'm giving you weapons, not for show off."

The soldier hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'm sorry Li Shaoyin."

Seeing the weirdo rolling in pain on the ground, Wan Nanshan, a big boss, couldn't stand it anymore and rushed up to put out the fire on his body.

Fortunately, the arrow missed the critical point, so the weirdo's life was not worried.

Seeing the violence used by Jingzhao Mansion, the group of common people behind them did not dare to make any more noise for a while, but suppressed the anger in their hearts.

Wan Nanshan picked up the half-burned document in front of him. He was surprised by the large characters on it: severely punish the murderer Xian Yu Zhongtong.

Although he knew that there was a distinction between superiority and inferiority in ancient society, Jingzhao Mansion, the institution that enforced the law for the people in Chang'an City and the embodiment of fairness and justice, was so indifferent to human life.

"What's going on?" Wan Nanshan raised his head and asked the soldiers beside him.

The soldier replied: "These are all villagers from Yongyangfang, and they have falsely accused Xianyu Gong."

Wan Nanshan didn't ask any more questions. He had already read the contents of the petition clearly. These people came to accuse Xian Yu Zhongtong of massacring villages and using villagers' heads as military exploits when he was in Shu.

"Why did you shoot that arrow just now?" Wan Nanshan walked up to Li Jiuzhou with suspicion in his eyes.

Li Jiuzhou looked calm, "If he doesn't die, more people will die."

"So, is this the reason why you kill innocent people indiscriminately?" After hearing what he said, Wan Nanshan no longer admired this boss whom he had always been convinced of, and there was some anger in his words.

Perhaps, Li Jiuzhou has changed.

Li Jiuzhou turned to look at Wan Nanshan, "It's better to kill him alone than to kill a group of people. Two to one, you can't even do such a simple arithmetic?"

Wan Nanshan was stunned, unable to refute these words.

"Besides, falsely accusing an official of the imperial court is an unpardonable crime." After Li Jiuzhou finished speaking, he shouted, "Arrest all these troublemakers."

Wan Nanshan was in a daze in the messy scene.

In Jingzhao Mansion, people are still busy as usual, inside and outside. There is a general amnesty and retrial of old cases, which makes Jingzhao Mansion even busier than in previous days.

In the hall, several important officials of Jingzhao Mansion gathered together.

Xianyu Zhongtong didn't speak for a while.

Li Jiuzhou, the young prince of Jingzhao Mansion, did not speak either.

Therefore, the others had no reason to speak in advance, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Li Shaoyin, in my opinion, let's let those troublemakers go. Let's not make the matter a big deal." Finally, Xianyu Zhongtong couldn't help but speak first. He was afraid that this incident would affect his reputation.

Wang Yuying had previously heard about Xian Yu Zhongtong's massacre of villages when he was in Shu. Li Jiuzhou raised his eyebrows at him and said lightly: "Does Mr. Xian Yu want to compromise with violence?"

Xianyu Zhongtong frowned and drew an arc between his brows, "If things get serious, I'm afraid it will easily arouse public anger."

"Public anger?" Li Jiuzhou replied: "They falsely accused Xian Yugong. Isn't Xian Yugong not worried at all?"

Xianyu Zhongtong had an embarrassed smile on his face: "Since it's a false accusation, I have nothing to worry about."

It is not that easy to sue him, a dignified third-grade official. Xianyu Zhongtong is just worried that if the matter gets too big and spreads to the imperial court, he will inevitably have to investigate. Once the investigation is started, it will be difficult for him to defend himself.

Li Jiuzhou saw the panic and uneasiness flash across his face.

"Can I say something?" Wan Nanshan's voice came from the corner.

Originally, he was not qualified to attend such an important meeting, but he couldn't help but wanted to see what Li Jiuzhou wanted to do, so he sneaked in.

Li Jiuzhou and Xian Yu Zhongtong both turned their eyes to him and looked at him seriously.

"Jingzhao Mansion is a place where people are redressed for their grievances. If we arrest the people who came to complain without finding out the truth, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate..."

Li Jiuzhou interrupted him, "So?"

Wan Nanshan opened his mouth and lowered his tone, "I propose to let the troubled people go and arrange for someone to investigate the matter."

Li Jiuzhou deliberately defended Xianyu Zhongtong: "Investigation? They want to slander Xianyu Gong without any evidence. Don't tell them. Those people gathered at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion to cause trouble and have evil intentions. They can be arrested and interrogated according to the law."

Wan Nanshan fell silent for a moment and acted according to the law. What he said seemed reasonable.

I'm just a little confused. Li Jiuzhou is so blatantly targeting Xianyu Zhongtong. I don't know what kind of medicine he is selling in his gourd.

He seemed like a different person today.

Xianyu Zhongtong was a little surprised to see Li Jiuzhou defending himself in this way, but when he thought about it, it was reasonable for subordinates to please their superiors for their own future.

It's just that Li Jiuzhou has already said this, so he doesn't want to ask for the release of the troublemakers.

Perhaps Li Jiuzhou has a way to silence the crowd.
