Chapter 1035(1/2)
Meng Gongjin ordered the guards to punish Lei Fusheng. At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.
Meng Gongjin frowned and asked, "Who is making noise outside?"
The guard went out to take a look, and when he came back, he was a little panicked, and came to Meng Gongjin and whispered:
"Sir, a large group of people gathered outside and blocked the gate of the inn."
Meng Gongjin just said, "It's unreasonable." Sounds came from outside.
"Unforgivable! Unjust! Unjust!~~~"
After Lei Fusheng was taken to the inn, the Poison Snake Gang immediately rushed to the inn, surrounded the gate of the inn and shouted that he was wronged.
The guards went out and pointed at the Viper Gang:
"This is the headquarters of the imperial envoy. If you dare to make noise, you will be arrested!"
The Viper Snake Gang members were not afraid.
"The imperial envoy is so powerful that he arrests people indiscriminately. Let's reason and arrest us together."
"Hmph, come on, catch us, we're not afraid!"
"Catch us, catch us, catch us!"
The Viper Gang members stared at each other, shouted and approached the guards.
The guards pressed the hilt of the knife around their waists and looked at the fierce crowd, sweat came out from their foreheads.
The law does not punish the masses. So many people cannot be arrested. Even if they are arrested, there is no place to be detained.
The guards felt a little guilty and unconsciously retreated under the pressure of the Viper Snake Gang.
At this time, Meng Gongjin walked out, stood at the door and said sternly:
"I am an imperial envoy here, who dares to be presumptuous!"
Meng Gongjin was full of righteousness and shocked everyone in the Poison Snake Gang.
An elder looked at Meng Gongjin.
"Sir, we are not here to cause trouble, we are here to reason."
"What reason do you want to talk about?"
"Sir, we want to ask, why should we arrest our gang leader?"
"Because you Viper Snakes are involved in a case."
"Mr. Imperial Envoy, does this case have anything to do with the gang leader? If it is related, please provide evidence. It doesn't matter, please release the gang leader immediately."
The Viper Snake Gang raised his arms and shouted:
"Evidence, we want evidence!"
The guard beside Meng Gongjin drew his sword and raised his shaky steel knife in his hand.
"No noise in front of the imperial envoy!"
The members of the Viper Snake Gang calmed down, their eyes were sharp, and they stared at Meng Gongjin.
Meng Gongjin said: "I am going to try the case now. Don't make a noise, otherwise I am going to arrest you all on the charge of obstructing official duties. If you can't be imprisoned in prison, you will be hung on the street!"
The elders of the Viper Snake Gang are not to be outdone.
"Sir, when our gang leader was taken away, his body was intact. If he was injured here, we would not agree!"
The laws of the Qianyuan Empire stipulate that gang leaders like Lei Fusheng will not be punished at will unless the emperor issued an order or the evidence is sufficient.
Meng Gongjin turned around and returned to the inn.
The Viper Snake Gang sat cross-legged at the entrance of the inn, waiting quietly.
Meng Gongjin came to the lobby, and Lei Fusheng was kneeling in the lobby, looking at Meng Gongjin proudly.
Meng Gongjin asked Lei Fusheng a few questions, and Lei Fusheng answered them without any leakage, and he could not find any flaws.
Meng Gongjin asked Lei Fusheng for two hours, but he still found nothing.
At this time, the guard quietly came to Meng Gongjin's side and said:
"Sir, the people from the Viper Snake Gang gathered more and more outside, and the whole street was blocked by them."
There are thousands of members of the Viper Snake Gang, all of whom were called to cheer for the gang leader.
Meng Gongjin hesitated.
The guard said, "Sir, thousands of people are blocking the streets, the impact is too bad."
Meng Gongjin sighed and said two words from his mouth unwillingly:
"Release!"
Meng Gongjin turned around and left, and the guard waved to Lei Fusheng:
"You go."
Lei Fusheng stood up, dusted his clothes, and walked out the door with great might.
Seeing Lei Fusheng walking out of the inn, the Poison Snake Gang immediately stood up and cheered:
"The gang leader is mighty, the gang leader is mighty, the gang leader is mighty!"
Lei Fusheng smiled, as if he was the Lord of Nine Five, and accepted everyone's cheers.
Han Ling'er looked at Lei Fusheng's appearance and was very annoyed, shouting at the members of the Viper Snake Gang:
"You are all honest, and you will be shouting loudly, and you will be arrested!"
Everyone in the Viper Snake Gang was dissatisfied.
"Stupid girl, come and catch us!"
Lei Fusheng waved his hand and signaled everyone to the Poison Snake Gang not to be as knowledgeable as the yellow-haired girl.
"Let's go!"
Lei Fusheng hurriedly and hurriedly boarded a carriage, led the venomous snake gang members and roared away.
Meng Gongjin asked his followers to post notices everywhere in the city, and the imperial envoy was stationed in the inn. If the people had any grievances, they could go to the inn to seek justice.
As a result, hundreds of notices were posted, but none of them came to seek justice.
Han Ling'er felt strange.
"Shannan Prefecture is so dark, it is impossible for the common people to have no grievances at all."
A guard said, "The people have grievances, but they dare not speak."
Han Ling'er asked, "Why, the imperial envoy is here, what are they afraid of?"
The guard looked helpless.
"They were terrified by Wei Chaogui's tyranny."
Sometimes, we cannot blame the people for being ignorant and cowardly, because the living environment is too harsh.
Meng Gongjin thought about it and ordered Han Ling'er and his guards:
"Go, go to prison."
Meng Gongjin took Han Ling'er and the guards hurried out of the inn and headed straight to the prison.
The prison door was closed, and the guards came forward to knock on the door, and impatient voices came from the yard:
"Who, the door broke, can you afford to pay?"
The gate opened a gap, and the guards rushed in immediately and knocked the prison guard who opened the door to the side.
The prison guard was about to get angry, but when he saw that these people were guards of the imperial envoy, he immediately suppressed the anger.
"What are you going to do?"
The guards ignored the prison guards and surrounded Meng Gongjin and walked towards the cell.
The light in the cell was dim and dirty, and it emitted a foul smell.
Meng Gongjin looked into the cell, and there were some haggard prisoners sitting.
The prisoners were disheveled and their eyes were dull, and they looked like walking corpses.
The guards were like a bell and shouted:
"The imperial envoy is here!"
The prisoners raised their heads and looked at Meng Gongjin, but did not show any emotional changes.
The guard thought, were these prisoners locked up in prison for too long and were they stupid?
Meng Gongjin said: "I, under the order of the emperor, came to Shannan Prefecture to investigate. If you have any grievances, just tell me."
The prisoners lowered their heads and said nothing.
Han Ling'er said, "Have you heard that the imperial envoy is going to make the decision for you? What kind of injustice do you have? Tell me out."
