Chapter 389 Whole Fish Feast (2)
It was supposed to be a joyous and festive month, but such a tragedy happened. Living people who have done trivial matters like glutinous rice **** and dressed in filial piety will be shunned by people when they walk outside, and they will be cursed and hit themselves.
But right now, seeing more and more pedestrians gathering around him, Wen Mingtang only felt that the scene in front of him was inexplicably dazzling.
Pedestrians in Furong Garden, the busiest "wealthy place", mostly wear bright and rich clothes, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Pedestrians who are most taboo about these "unlucky things" at this time disregard their usual taboos and gather here. Come, give pointers and watch.
Wen Mingtang's mind was in turmoil, looking at Zhao Mengzhuo who was lying on the ground and looking at the world calmly, it seemed that a pile of soil had gathered in his heart, blocking his heart, unable to express his emotions, and gradually felt uncomfortable and sour.
During the evening meal, the people who were on the top floor of the Zhaixing Building who could speak and move a moment ago were separated from them in the blink of an eye.
There was a commotion all around, there were crowds of people watching the excitement, and there were also those who pointed to the star-picking tower that Zhao Mengzhuo fell from, which was "ordinary people should not approach", and loudly boasted that the people they saw passing by shouted that this was the building that fell from the roof. There are even more brightly dressed dignitaries who came to inquire from the Furong Garden on the opposite side. They are men and women, stepping on the red carpet laid at the entrance of the Furong Garden, looking at the people lying on the ground. Zhao Mengzhuo covered his mouth in surprise, then bowed his head and whispered.
Zhao Mengzhuo's status as Minister of Dali Temple is there. Among so many dignitaries, there are many people who know him. The word "Dali Temple" rang out from time to time in those noisy and trivial whispers.
But even though there are many people who know about it, Zhao Mengzhuo is lying on the ground now, but no one steps forward.
Wen Mingtang listened to Zhao You, who was beside him, arguing angrily with the guy from Zhaixing Building who blocked him from going: "I am the servant of Dali Temple. Right now, Master Zhao is there, why don't you allow me to go forward?"
The buddies of the Zhaixing Building are also tall and powerful. Those who can prevent the crowd from approaching the Zhaixing Building are not so much the buddies who serve tea and water as the guards with skill.
The other party stretched out his hand to stop him from coming forward, and only repeated one sentence in his mouth: "This is our master's territory, and it will not be completed until our master comes!"
What kind of Dali Temple yamen, what government office is obviously not important in the eyes of these people, only their boss is the most important existence beyond the yamen and government office.
Seeing those guys pushing and shoving Zhao You, while still not letting the passers-by around, Wen Mingtang collected himself, and winked at A Bing, A Bing immediately understood, ran out of the crowd, and ran towards the direction of Dali Temple. go.
After Ah Bing left, Wen Mingtang loosened his clenched hands and wiped his robe with his sweaty palms: Forget it, although those guys only had eyes for their boss and no one else, they never let anyone get close Zhao Mengzhuo lying on the ground.
In this way, the site can be said to be intact and has not been damaged.
Thinking like this, but seeing a group of people hurrying out of the Picking Star Tower, looking at the clothes that are either rich or expensive, Wen Mingtang felt a bad feeling spontaneously.
Sure enough, the next moment, I saw the pedestrian walking quickly from the door of the building, and the two fellows who pushed Zhao You and refused to allow the "Dali Temple official" to approach seemed blinded by the pedestrian's approaching. Generally, ignore it.
In the blink of an eye, the pedestrian walked up to Zhao Mengzhuo, and then they all knelt down to touch Zhao Mengzhuo.
The pedestrian squatted down and touched Zhao Mengzhuo casually, someone patted Zhao Mengzhuo's body, and said "Brother Zhao?"; "Come here", after another clerk came out from the inside slowly, those people said, "Hurry up and call the doctor!"
There were also people who said "how could this be?", with a look of disbelief, while tidying Zhao Mengzhuo's robe, his eyes were red and he was crying.
Wen Mingtang looked at the reaction of this group of well-dressed nobles, and his heart became more and more cold: Zhao Mengzhuo fell from the building in full view, but these people wantonly destroyed the murder scene in full view.
If it is said that this group of people is not the group of people who had a dispute with Zhao Mengzhuo on the top floor, who would believe it?
The Dali Temple Yamen, who is in charge of major murders in Darong, will protect the murder scene at the first sentence every time he arrives at the murder scene.
But right now, Dali Temple Qing, the highest ranking official in the entire Dali Temple Yamen, died here, but his murder scene was ruthlessly destroyed in this way.
This is an aboveboard conspiracy!
Wen Mingtang felt extremely sad in his heart, staring intently at every movement of the line of well-dressed nobles, those who straightened their robes, and those who slapped their bodies carefully took notes.
…
When the guards from Dali Temple came to look for Lin Fei, Lin Fei was following behind his elder brother, preparing to make amends to Duke Yasukuni who left in anger on New Year's Eve.
Grand Yasukuni’s anger has almost subsided until today, and he listened to the three father and son swear with a cold face that this incident will never happen again in the future.
Of course, this incident seems to be that Jingyunhou, father and son were unfilial, they "defeated" their ancestral business without telling Jingguogong, and Lin Shizi was transferred to the yamen, but the fact is that Jingyunhou went to the country after Jingguogong got angry on New Year's Eve The government explained the whole story of the matter.
This matter has nothing to do with "unfilial piety", it is nothing but sacred will. Although Duke Yasukuni was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up a step and let it go.
When His Majesty was the crown prince, he had quite the means to communicate with the city government. Compared with the former emperor, it can be described as a world of difference.
But such a monarch is more difficult to guess the holy will than the stupid people like the first emperor.
After Jing Yunhou and Lin Shizi made apologies one after another, it was Lin Fei's turn. Compared with his father and brother, his side is just venting his anger.
Duke Jingguo's cold face had already been relieved by the apology made by Marquis Jingyun and Shizi Lin, and he was ready to expose the matter when Lin Fei brought the teacup over and said a few soft words to assure him. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Fei picked up the teacup, a servant rushed in, and before saluting Lord Jingguo and others, he hurriedly ran to Lin Fei and shouted: "Master, it's not good, come out!" Murder!"
Master Yasukuni's face froze when his complexion eased just now, and then he saw Lin Fei put aside the teacup he had just picked up, turned his head and asked the boy: "What's the matter?"
Duke Yasukuni's froze face completely sank.
