Chapter 556 The good show begins, the opening scene
Suddenly, one stone caused a thousand waves, and the other people also said: "The old general of the Shen family died fighting for the country, and now his son has been framed again. General Shen did not rebel."
"Yes, we can all testify that on the night of the Lantern Festival, General Shen drank in a wine shop to relieve his boredom and missed his dead son."
The officers and soldiers also hurriedly drove these people away, fearing that they would bump into the emperor and the empress dowager.
Seeing that the situation was indeed chaotic, Jing Hong also drew his sword and said angrily: "The emperor can make his own decision between right and wrong. Retreat, everyone."
"The emperor doesn't know anything, and he doesn't know how to handle government affairs. He wants to kill so many innocent people, even children, with just one imperial decree. You are a fool."
"I heard that the government affairs were handled by the Queen Mother Shen. After the Queen Mother Shen became seriously ill, she fell into the hands of the Queen Mother. General Shen Bi has led the troops for so many years and has been doing his best. Why would he suddenly want to rebel?"
"Hunjun..." someone cursed.
Suddenly, the public opinion turned one side and made a fuss, all criticizing the emperor and the empress dowager.
Mu Lingwei listened to them being scolded and said secretly: "Scold you, you rulers should also be scolded by the people. Alas, you can vent your emotions after you have had your fill of words. It won't hurt your skin or flesh. Are you stupid?" , I will let you sober up later and ask whether the Shen family is your father."
She looked at Jun Chenrui again, and saw that his features were as cold as ice and his mentality was very calm. He knew that someone would submit evidence of the Shen family's crimes and punish the Shen family's crimes.
His imperial edict to confiscate the family may draw indignation from countless people, but once the Shen family is convicted, the emperor will gain a lot of popular support.
He had a wishful thinking and was willing to be scolded, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager was scolded along with him.
Mu Lingwei also guessed Jun Chenrui's purpose in issuing this edict. No matter who gained the most, their ultimate goal was to deal with the Shen family.
So she has always been very plain, even if Jun Chenrui had hinted that pulling Shangguan Yun's case would expose her life experience.
It's a pity that the people who fanned the flames in Jun Chenrui's ears thought that because of her life experience, Jun Mohan would be hit and Jun Mohan would also fall into public opinion. This idea was completely wrong.
Maybe Jun Chenrui also knows that the other party is using him, and he is willing to be used by the other party so that he can also benefit.
They all wanted to attack Jun Mohan and suppress his "arrogance".
Mu Lingwei suddenly raised the corners of her lips. Today she was in a good mood, combing her hair into an exquisite bun, and wearing a gorgeous palace dress. She was very eye-catching when she appeared in front of everyone.
At the same time, Jun Ao's face turned green with anger. He took out the knife from the guard and wanted to kill one or two people first, as a warning to others.
Unexpectedly, his knife had just been unsheathed and was about to stab the person who made the most noise...
In the midst of the lightning and flint, the Empress Dowager seemed to have known his movements for a long time. The dragon staff in her hand was like a dragon wagging its tail, and the Empress Dowager made him look heroic.
In an instant, the knife in Jun Ao's hand was knocked out. Of all the people present, only the Empress Dowager dared to do this. She wanted to maintain the image of the royal family and give an explanation to the people.
No killing is allowed at this time.
Immediately, the man in a green shirt was also frightened, and the words "killed" were still stuck in his throat.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were as sharp as a sharp blade, and she glanced at everyone coldly, and the surroundings instantly became silent...
Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager was heard saying loudly: "All the people present, are you here to plead for the Shen family?"
Everyone stared at her, unable to say a word.
The Empress Dowager supported her waist, held the dragon staff again, and said in a deep voice: "The Ai family is here today just to tell you that the Ai family and the emperor are here to punish the Shen family's sins. It doesn't matter whether you scold the Ai family or not. The Aijia family will not be angry, let alone punish you for your sins. The Aijia family is here today to listen to the people's scoldings. You can speak freely today, and neither the Aijia family nor the emperor will punish you for your sins."
"Your Majesty must also listen to the voices of the people in order to govern our Long Yuan Kingdom." She said to Jun Chenrui again.
"Yes." Jun Chenrui was also very honest.
Mu Lingwei's head was full of black lines, and the Empress Dowager's ability to confuse people was unparalleled. She quietly supported the Empress Dowager, fearing that she would slip up to her waist.
At the same time, as soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar, and the people also whispered to each other: "The Empress Dowager has come forward. So many people just scolded her, but she was not angry. Instead, she saved the man in Tsing Yi who insulted her the most."
"Who is spreading rumors that the Shen family is a good person? Have you forgotten all the evil things Shen Yu did? Shen Bi deserted and killed 50,000 soldiers of our Long Yuan Kingdom?"
Others echoed: "The man named Shen Jia who was killed on the execution ground just now used his power to bully others, robbed women of the people, and forced them to commit suicide by jumping into the river."
"Yes, today the streets are full of people calling for injustice for the Shen family, but where exactly are their injustices? I haven't figured it out yet." Someone said in confusion.
The man in green clothes who was rescued was so frightened that his pupils shrank, but he didn't tremble all over.
At this time, the Empress Dowager suddenly approached him and asked in a warm voice: "The Ai family sees that you are also a scholar. It is not wrong for you to fight for the injustice of the Shen family, so the Ai family will not blame you, because most of you are probably immersed in studying. It has blinded you so that you do not know the truth, and it is possible that you have been deceived."
The Empress Dowager said to everyone again: "It is good to read more, but if you do not study with great determination and do not learn to distinguish right from wrong, you will be a scholar in vain."
The people were also stunned and stared at him. He scolded the most fiercely. The Empress Dowager didn't care. The Shen family had already investigated it long ago. Why are there so many people complaining on behalf of the Shen family?
It's so strange.
Seeing everyone staring at him, the man added: "Everyone in the Shen family, men, women, old and young, had their homes confiscated. The government couldn't produce evidence to prove that the Shen family was rebelling. How could they convince the public? Even the smallest children were expelled." Going to the guillotine is something we have never heard of or seen."
The Queen Mother glanced at Jun Yi and Jun Ao.
Jun Yi quickly avoided it, and Jun Ao also turned around. Jun Mohan came up with this idea. If you want to find it, just look for him.
However, they only mentioned some children and women to scare the people. When they saw that they wanted to kill children, they would definitely continue to create public opinion. They had actually killed some people before, and there was evidence to prove that they had actually committed the crime. The person being punished.
When everyone sees a dead person, they will naturally panic. Those who are truly afraid will only shrink back. Only those who think of making trouble will act unscrupulously.
At this time, the Empress Dowager said again: "So the Ai family and the emperor personally went to the execution ground and tried the case in person in front of the people. They not only wanted to give an explanation to the Shen family, but also to the people of the world and to the souls of the dead. Explain."
The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice: "You still want to make a fuss now, do you still want to make a fuss?"
"Since the Empress Dowager has said so, we also believe that the Empress Dowager will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor let a bad person go." A man's voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
As soon as these words came out, many people echoed them one after another. They all chose to believe the Empress Dowager and became silent instantly.
The troublemakers have no reason and no longer dare to ignore others.
Mu Lingwei looked for a voice and saw the tall man with an ordinary face again.
After taking a deep look at Mu Lingwei, he instantly disappeared into the crowd.
