Chapter 278 Turn the spearhead! The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment?
"Yes! Deception! People from the Ministry of Etiquette and people from the Ministry of Punishment joined forces to deceive!"
"Why did the Chongsheng Temple collapse because eunuchs entered the Confucian Temple? This is their way of diverting attention!"
"That's right! This is a big official collusion! They used that eunuch to cover themselves up! That eunuch is not guilty at all!"
One voice after another kept ringing.
At this time, everyone felt that this conjecture was the most correct.
And the woman serving the tea smiled again.
"Everyone, although I am a brothel girl, I also know that people who study do not need to be classified as high or low."
"Besides, some of the sages of our country had low status at the beginning, and only later became famous throughout the world."
"In this case, how could they get angry for the eunuch because of their status? Isn't this against the moral character of a saint?"
This sentence undoubtedly strengthened the ideas of those literati!
Soon, there were echoes.
"Yes, if a saint teaches all things, why would he care because of his status?"
"The so-called saint means that regardless of high or low, as long as he is sincere, everyone can visit the Confucian Temple!"
"The saint is not angry because the eunuch entered the Confucian Temple. This is not the cultivation that a saint should have. The saint is angry because of the injustice of the examination!"
Countless literati can’t help but sigh at this moment!
After a while, a suggestion was heard!
"Let's go! We must let the officials in the capital give an explanation!"
"Especially the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment! They are the culprits this time!"
"Let's go! We want an explanation!"
Under the commotion, countless literati immediately poured out of Xiangyue Tower.
Along the way, they shared their ideas with other literary talents around them.
Soon, this storm of public opinion completely reversed!
The spirit of the sage, punished for unfair examination!
Therefore, the Chongsheng Temple collapsed!
This is the anger of the sages! It is the protection of their students!
Countless literati soon gathered again and headed towards the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment!
In Xiangyue Tower, when the woman saw this situation, she also smiled.
Afterwards, she also took off her clothes and left Xiangyue Tower.
And her real dress is that of a palace maid!
It was Cang Hong who called here specifically to give the final word to this group of literati!
Afternoon time!
More and more literati are gathering on the street!
At this time, the door of the house of He Weixin, Minister of Rites, was already surrounded by water!
"Master! Master! It's not good! It's not good!"
The boy below ran wildly towards the house.
He Weixin had just finished his meal when he saw the servants running in in a panic, and he was not very happy.
"What are you doing? How can you be so flustered?"
He is the most disgusting person to see his servants being so unruly!
This is inconsistent with his status as Minister of Rites!
The boy couldn't take care of that much at this time and quickly reported: "Master, many literati have gathered at the entrance of our mansion, asking you to give an explanation!"
"What? Gathering at the door of my mansion? Don't they go to Lin Yiqiu to question them? What are they doing here?"
He Weixin just felt puzzled.
Then, under the leadership of the servant, he hurried straight to the door of the mansion.
As soon as I walked out, bang!
A rotten egg has just been thrown!
"You guy! You are basically working with the Minister of Justice!"
"Yes! When you arrested that eunuch, you were all accomplices!"
"You have offended the sage! You deserve death! You deserve death!"
The roaring sound flooded the whole street!
He Weixin was stunned on the spot!
Holy shit! What the hell is going on?
Didn't these people have the same idea as them before and target Lin Yiqiu?
Why is this spear pointed at me now?
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet! I, He Weixin, am the Minister of Rites! How can I collude with anyone?"
"The sages entered the Confucian Temple for eunuchs because they were angry! How could you forget this?"
He reminded loudly.
Next second!
"Nonsence!"
Countless literati just started spitting!
"It was the collusion of you bunch of dog officials! That made the saint angry!"
"What does this have to do with eunuchs! The sage once said! There is no distinction between high and low people! You only need to be sincere to enter the Confucian Temple!"
"Yes! You are deliberately diverting our attention! You are obviously colluding with each other!"
Angry voices rang out one after another, giving He Weixin no chance to speak at all!
Soon, rotten eggs and rotten cabbage leaves were all coming to greet him!
He Weixin has never seen such a scene before, and he is also panicking at this moment!
Order to close the door tightly! Hide in the mansion and never come out again!
When the literati saw this, there was nothing they could do.
After continuing to yell and curse at the door for a while, someone suddenly shouted: "Let's go! Let's go to the Criminal Department to get an explanation!"
"Yes! What happened this time is the person the Ministry of Punishment took the initiative to arrest! They must be the same as Huo Yongzhi! Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked toward the Punishment Department in an aggressive manner.
However, the Criminal Department had already been completely dispersed by the Jin Yiwei.
At this time, there was not even a single Jinyi guard, only two or three guards guarding the door.
After everyone walked in, the place was empty, but no one else was seen at all!
"Strange? Where are the people?"
Suddenly, a group of people began to become confused.
And the next second, a crying sound was suddenly heard from behind the government office.
"Ouch! Help! Ouch!"
"There's someone inside!"
A man pointed behind him and shouted loudly.
So, a group of people walked inside in a hurry, thinking that all the people from the Punishment Department must be hiding inside!
However, after entering the prison behind the government office, there were still no guards or officials.
Walking further, I saw in a cell, a figure covered in blood, rolling on the ground!
Lin Yiqiu, whose body was covered with pig blood, was crying for his father and mother, howling for a while!
"Master Huo! I just entered the Chongsheng Temple! How could you do this to me?"
"Lord Huo! I, Lin Yiqiu, am not convinced! I, Lin Yiqiu, have been wronged!"
Tears and blood mixed together, rolling down from the face!
Seeing this situation, all the literati felt a sense of shame on their faces!
Some soft-hearted people even have sore eyes!
This eunuch is obviously Lin Yiqiu, the governor of the West Factory, the person they were targeting before!
However, it seems that he is just cannon fodder! It was Huo Yongzhi who tortured him on purpose!
"Quick! Get the people out quickly!"
Someone shouted immediately.
Afterwards, everyone stopped being stunned and stepped forward to kick open the cell door and squeeze in.
At this time, Lin Yiqiu was still rolling on the ground! But he seemed to be dying!
"Take him to the hospital! Hurry!"
Several people at the front quickly held Lin Yiqiu up! A group of people just supported Lin Yiqiu and took him out of the Penal Department Prison!
At this time, all the literati felt nothing but deep sympathy and shame for this eunuch!
They knew that Lin Yiqiu ended up like this! They were accomplices! This chapter has been completed!
