Chapter 62: The End of the Song and the Dispersion of People (4)
Bang!
With a loud noise, Xia Yuanlong suddenly felt like the world was spinning, his head went dizzy, and he fell to the ground. It turned out that the two officers and soldiers had hit him with their rifle barrels, and they had not dared to hurt them.
Soon, other people were arrested one by one and thrown into wooden cages. The officer just waved his big hand and dispersed many people, opened a wide road and took the criminals to the prison.
Wan Heshun was overjoyed when he heard the news. This marked the complete demise of the academy as a force in the world. He took the pen with satisfaction and wrote on the letter, "Everyone who participated in the conspiracy will be punished with death penalty. Xia Yuanlong's crime is extremely serious."
, the three tribes should be executed and executed. This is my opinion. I hope to inform the prefect and discuss it further.'
The officer followed the order of the county king and set off for the Yamen with No. 3 or 4 people.
The Inspection Department was extremely well-informed. Jiang Tian heard about Xia Yuanlong's arrest, and also knew that people from Wan Fang had gone to meet Ye Yongjia. He expected there would be trouble later, so he rode on horseback and galloped towards the government office.
The Inspection Department was only across the street from the other place. The officer and a few of his men had just dismounted in front of the stone lion. They glanced to both sides and saw a faint figure coming towards here. They quickly ordered the people around him: "Jiang Tianding is here to cause trouble, don't do it."
We need to see each other, let’s go quickly!”
He hurriedly stepped onto the stone steps, but before he had taken two steps, he heard a shout from a distance: "Hold!" which made him freeze in place.
"Don't be nervous, everyone." Jiang Tian saw that the men had pulled off their sabers and looked menacing, so he bowed and apologized, "I was ordered by the government to come to hear his explanation of his resignation. I didn't mean to stop you.
, why threaten him with this?"
"No matter how big or small, take it back." The officer turned around depressedly and had no choice but to scold the soldiers a few times and then came up to him with a smile on his face, "Chiang is inspecting, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"Seeing that you are so vigilant, you must have a heavy responsibility. I wonder why you came to Mr. Ye to discuss?" Jiang Tian asked knowingly.
The officer was afraid of his high position, so he had to answer: "The thief Xia Yuanlong has caused trouble, and the prince wants to pursue it to the end, so he asked us to come and discuss with him."
After Jiang Tian heard this, he sighed several times and said with a worried look on his face: "According to my understanding of Mr. Ye, you will not only have no merit, but also make mistakes."
"Why...why?"
Jiang Tiandao: "Master Ye has a surprisingly stubborn temper and has always protected the academy party. Now that I have said goodbye, of course I won't let go of any regrets. I will argue with you and won't let go. If I don't speak properly, let him
Angry,
If you send a piece of paper to the county king, it will ruin everything. Think about it, the county king is hoping that Ye Yongjia will leave quickly. If you waste more time today and the matter drags on, he will hate you for not executing it well.
, on the contrary, nothing happened.”
The officer gradually became anxious and nodded: "What you said during the inspection does make sense. But if you blindly follow Mr. Ye's words, won't the leader of the rebel party let him go?"
"You should be smarter," Jiang Tian added. "The prince only needs peace in Nanjing and doesn't cause too much trouble. As for 'pursuing to the end', including killing the three tribes, it is just an expectation, not unshakable.
The bottom line. When the time comes, Jiang will advise you and ensure that you can make a great contribution."
The officer suddenly woke up and bowed down to thank him two or three times before entering the yamen together.
"Is it Jiang's inspection?" Ye Yongjia's voice came from the back room.
"It's me and someone from the prince's palace who came up to report some things."
Ye Yongjia just opened the curtains and came out to meet the two of them. After bowing to each other, he sat aside and asked them what they were doing. The officer then told them how Xia Yuanlong intended to rebel and how Wan Heshun hated them.
Don't dare to miss a word.
Ye Yongjia had known for a long time that Xia Yuanlong would end up like this, but when he heard this fact, he was suddenly stunned. He thought that the reform of the academy had been so close to him, lingering around the city like a raging river, and now it was unexpectedly
It turned into dust so quickly and was swept away, which made me feel a little sad.
He did not respond immediately, but rubbed his browbones and fell into deep thought. 'I can't let the academy go away in this world in vain,' Ye Yongjia thought, 'it must live in one place...'
"Rebellion is a heinous crime. According to Sir Wan's opinion, the three tribes should be killed to serve as a warning to the people." When the officer saw that he did not answer, he set his own terms.
"This military master," Ye Yongjia suddenly sat up, his eyebrows raised like sharp swords, "Which Xia Yuanlong can bear such a serious crime?! Even if he has evil intentions and intends to rebel, he has not yet taken action! He is just deceiving.
If a common person commits a crime, do you want him to suffer eternal damnation?"
Inspector Jiang saw that the officer's face was ashen and he hurriedly walked to Magistrate Ye and persuaded him in a low voice: "After the meeting in the front hall, we have determined that the academy has violated the law and is tantamount to causing chaos. If we persist now, it will not only not help the matter, but also may
Get you in."
After saying that, he turned around and said to the officer: "This discussion is really unfair. It's no wonder that the government officials are angry. Xia Yuanlong, a scholar, has not caused a big mess that shocked the state and moved the government. It is enough to punish one of them, so why implicate innocent people?"
You should always act in accordance with the law.”
"Then... what do you think, Lord Magistrate, of killing Xia Yuanlong alone in a busy city?" The officer seemed reluctant to lower the terms and asked hesitantly.
"I'm just speaking for reasons, and I don't mean to be biased." After Ye Yongjia said this, he added another word with his peripheral vision, "Forget it, I won't argue... Okay."
The officer smiled relievedly: "Then please Sir Ye, please stand for this last shift."
"Kill today...?" Ye Yongjia obviously didn't want to visit that scene in person.
"That's right, if you stay too long, you will be in trouble." After saying this, he stopped explaining and left the government office.
"Inspector Jiang...are you willing to go to the capital with me?" After Ye Yongjia saw off the officer, he slowly turned around and met Jiang Tian's eyes.
"I'm sorry," Jiang Tian bowed politely, "I can't let go of what happened in Donkey Skin Alley for a long time... I lost the lives of two subordinates, and it was I who encouraged Captain Mao to die. I feel guilty and don't want to be so easy.
Just... pat your butt and leave."
"But Wan Dang Hui..."
Jiang Tian smiled calmly: "It's okay, this is my responsibility."
Ye Yongjia had nothing to say anymore. He looked into the distance melancholy. Jiang Tian behind him bowed to him for a long time and walked down the hall.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
Xia Yuanlong was sleeping soundly, but he was woken up by this roar. He half-opened his eyes and saw a fish and a full bowl of soy sauce beef in front of him.
"It's rice with no head," he waved his hand, picked up the chopsticks, and said with a smile, "I know this stuff..."
"You're damn lucky. The three clans were supposed to be punished for a serious crime, but Lord Ye begged for mercy like this, and the fate of the whole family was saved!"
