Ming Zuo

Chapter 616 Backer
"My official is ordered by the emperor to patrol the sky on behalf of the sky. I have my own rules for judging cases and judging crimes. How can I allow you and other ghosts and monsters to talk about it?"

Xie Xuelong burst into anger, and his words contained guns and sticks.

Jin Qiyu didn't care, just looked at Xu Jinzhong.

"Eunuch Xu, please uphold justice."

Xu Jinzhong was terrified by his eyes, and was even more annoyed by Xie Xuelong's stubbornness.

"Xie Zhongcheng, are you going to disobey the holy will?"

Xu Jinzhong is an imperial envoy, representing the emperor, and his words are obviously imperial edicts.

The mountain-like pressure came, which made Xie Xuelong feel helpless.

"Your Majesty is so confused that he will not hesitate to seek skin from a tiger."

"presumptuous!"

Xu Jinzhong was furious.

"Xie Zhongcheng, if you refuse to obey orders, don't blame our family for using law."

Seeing the Jin Yiwei around him staring at him, Xie Xuelong knew that there was nothing he could do.

The rest of the Jiangxi bureaucrats and gentry shrunk their heads even more. As for how much anger was in their hearts, they were helpless at this time.

"Pass down the order and let people go."

They thought they were already aggrieved, but Jin Qiyu didn't give up.

"Where are my merchants from Shandong locked up? I will meet them personally."

Xu Jinzhong trembled.

"Lord Jin, the prison is a filthy place, and it seems inappropriate to get involved in it."

Jin Qiyu had a murderous look on his face.

"I walk around the world in Shandong, open and aboveboard, with my head held high, but I can't be bullied casually. Let's discuss today's matter."

After finishing speaking, Jin Qiyu followed Jin Yiwei and left the yamen, heading straight to the prison in Nanchang.

After he left, the discussion in the lobby was boiling, and all the bureaucrats and gentry were in mourning.

Zhou Yingqi couldn't take it anymore, and asked, "Eunuch Xu, what is the reason for the court to do this? Isn't it afraid of losing people's hearts when they condone rebellion and arrogance?"

Now without Jin Qiyu, Xu Jinzhong's airs have also collapsed.

"Do you think our family is willing to go through this? Do you know what His Majesty is suffering? The situation is like this, what can we do!"

Xie Xuelong seemed to be several years old, slumped in the chair, and his whole body had no strength.

"Eunuch Xu, is the court really powerless?"

Xu Jinzhong looked up to the sky and sighed.

"People are knives, and I am fish. Everyone... I have been wronged."

The whole house is full of the essence of Jiangxi, the best of the best.At this time, there was nothing he could do except hug his head and cry.

Everyone had a premonition that the fate of the Ming court seemed to have really come to an end.

Nanchang Prison.

Seeing Jin Yiwei approaching, everyone in the prison was terrified.

Hundreds of Jinyiwei came forward and asked, "Where are all the merchants from Shandong who were imprisoned earlier?"

The head of the cell hurriedly said: "Master Baihu, please rest assured, the little ones have already been greeted and are just waiting for you."

Baihu was terrified, knowing what he meant.

"Take me there quickly."

The prison chief thought that Jin Yiwei came here to pick up the prisoners, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly led them and walked all the way to the depths of the prison.

The depths of the prison at this time are like hell on earth.

There are hundreds of men and women, young and old, held here.All of them are merchants running Shandong business, and Li Banghua's relatives are among them.

A middle-aged man was paralyzed on the ground, his whole body was beaten to pieces.Looking at the dark roof above with dazed and withered eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other side, a little girl struggled to curl up in a woman's arms.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

The woman couldn't help crying when she heard the words.

"Hey, there will be something to eat soon."

The little girl was frightened by the woman's crying and didn't dare to make trouble anymore.Trying to reach out her little hand to help her mother wipe away her tears, but as she wiped, she also sobbed.

Although the child is small, he is very sensible and does not dare to cry out loud.

In the nearby cell, a slightly older boy was questioning his father in fear.

"Father, are we going to die?"

His father had a bitter face, but he still pretended to be strong.

"Don't worry, we're going home soon."

But he himself knew that they were rebels.Since being caught here, it is a dead end.

Regret?
Resentment?
He didn't know whether to do it or not.

Thinking about the prosperous days before being arrested, it is so nostalgic.

The whole family, old and young, live a prosperous life because of doing business in Shandong. Could it be that they are in trouble today, so they have to say that Shandong is not?
It's a pity that the accumulated money was all corrupted by those dog officials.

This is Daming who does not give people a chance to survive.

What's wrong with him?

I just want to start a business, earn more money, and support my family well.

He never thought of rebelling.

What is the reason for the imperial court to deal with unarmed people like him instead of going to Shandong to suppress the rebellion?

Men can't figure it out.

Trapped in such a small world, the only thing that can wait is death, right?

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, which was the way the sun shone when the prison door was opened.

How long has it been since you have bathed in the sun?
Even the warmth brought by the sun is so strange.

Only when he was trapped here did he suddenly understand the value of freedom.

With a burst of footsteps, a large number of Jinyi guards rushed in, causing all the prisoners here to panic.

As a native of Ming Dynasty, no one knows what Jin Yiwei's appearance means.

Could it be that today is their last time?

Before the big guy could get ready, Jin Yiwei parted left and right, revealing a young man in a strange costume.

The young man came forward and couldn't help laughing when he saw the horror in the fence.

"Okay! Very good! I, Shandong, remember what happened today."

After the harsh words, the young man asked loudly, "Where is Mr. Li Chengyang and Li Zichu?"

Although the lady who was holding the little girl was very frightened, she still said in a blessing manner: "That's the fool. He is injured and can't get up to answer. Please forgive me."

Jin Qiyu couldn't help being furious when he saw the man paralyzed on the grass.

"What are you still doing? Open the door."

Jinyiwei's hundreds of households were trained like dogs, and they couldn't help but blame the cell boss.

"Goucai, didn't you hear that?"

The head of the prison was sprayed with saliva, and hurried forward to open the lock.

Jin Qiyu stepped inside, squatted in front of Li Zichu, and found that his condition was very bad.

"Immediately arrange a doctor and prepare medicinal materials to treat Mr. Zichu. If there is an accident, I will not give up in Shandong."

Seeing that Jin Yiwei not only did not arrest anyone, but the young man seemed to be very worried about her husband's safety, the woman suddenly felt hopeful.

"Dare to ask the official..."

Seeing Jin Yiwei sending someone there, Jin Qiyu replied.

"Ma'am, don't worry. I'm from Shandong, and I'm here specially for you. Meng Angong heard that you were in trouble, and he couldn't sleep or eat. He felt very guilty. The commander-in-chief of my family even said that we can't let the relatives of officials in Shandong and the merchants who run the business You've been humiliated by others. For now, rest easy, you can go home soon."

All the prisoners around heard his words, and all of them cried for a while.

This is the cry of tears of joy.

It is also a blessing to turn the crisis into safety.

It is a kind of happiness to be protected.

They didn't expect that even though they were thousands of miles away, Shandong actually cared about their safety and even came to rescue them.

Originally, life and death were unpredictable when they were caught here, and many of them were quite resentful towards Shandong.

But after this incident, most people here quickly changed their views.

There is a feeling of backing, but it is different.
