Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1292

Previously, these people would never have dared to speak ill of Xu Bantian of the capital, who was favored by the Emperor and the Celestial Master, in such a public setting.

But recently, both in the government and among the common people, people have taken pride in defaming Xu Shan.

In fact, the louder you are, the more favored you will be by important people.

At the very least, they could receive a substantial financial subsidy from some wealthy merchants.

More importantly, it can also earn a reputation within the circle for being fearless of powerful figures.

Why not gain both fame and fortune?

For this reason, the 'Willow Heart' where a large number of powerful people and merchants gathered at night became their stage to show off their talents.

After a young man in a long robe finished spouting nonsense and slandering Xu Shan, his companion, who had come with him, seemed to be offering kind advice, but in reality, he was secretly supporting him.

"Brother Cui!"

Be careful what you say and do.

"This Xu Shan is known in the capital as 'Xu Half-Heaven'."

"His henchmen are spread across all walks of life."

"What you said is true. But if it gets to their ears, it could lead to your death."

Hearing his companion's words, Cui Gu snorted and said, "Although I am from Lu County, my ancestors were from the Cui family of Qinghe."

"He's Xu Rentu, isn't he planning to slaughter our entire Cui family for his own selfish desires?"

"I'll be right here. I'll wait for him to make his move!"

"We, the scholars, may have our heads cut off and our blood shed, but we will never bow down to the treacherous officials who endanger the Ming Dynasty."

After he finished speaking, the brainwashed and inspired scholars around him shouted, "Well said!"

"A role model for us!"

"For the future of the Ming Dynasty, how can we swallow our anger and submit to injustice?"

"We must also condemn the traitor Xu."

Inside Yang Liuxin's hall, there should have been singing, dancing, and drinking merrily.

But now?

It has become a gathering place for 'pedantic scholars' to denounce Xu Shan.

Moreover, the situation escalated, leading to widespread verbal and written criticism.

After Cui Gu's remarks resonated with the entire audience...

A piercing sound came from a private room on the second floor.

"The Ma family of Changhe, though merchants, are devoted to the country."

"Tonight, hearing Mr. Cui's words, I feel that there is still hope for the future of our Great Ming Dynasty."

"Therefore, I hereby present one hundred taels of silver to support Mr. Cui's studies."

"Once he passes the imperial examination, he will purge the court of treacherous and wicked officials."

"it is good."

Upon hearing his words, the audience erupted in deafening cheers once again.

Cui Gu, who could earn a hundred taels of silver with just a few words, had such a wide grin that even an AK couldn't stop him.

But an even bigger surprise is yet to come.

Just as cheers erupted at the scene, a servant-looking boy approached Cui Gu.

First, he introduced himself as a servant of the Vice Minister of Rites. Then, he relayed a message from his master.

The gist of the statement is that Mr. Cui is a man of great talent and could first condescend to teach at a private school in the capital.

Got it!

By hurling insults at Xu Shan, the unknown Cui Gu not only gained a reward, fame, but also a stable job and a powerful backer.

Such an outcome was a shock to every scholar present.

As a result, the rest of Yangliuxin was filled with condemnations of Xu Shan's "evil deeds".

This……

This was exactly the result that the Ma family, who had been awarding the silver, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites wanted to see.

Every so often, a 'designated' lucky person is born.

That would be enough to make these so-called 'scholars' work for them.

Are they the future of the Ming Dynasty?

Reading is for understanding principles.

But for these pseudo-Confucians who talk about benevolence and morality but are only interested in fame and fortune—a scholar is useless!

'boom! '

I thought that after the event was hyped up, today would end with topics of slander and even humiliation of Xu Shan.

But who would have thought that the intrusion of a group of uninvited guests would disrupt the once bustling Yangliu Heart.

First there was a commotion, then a sudden silence.

"When the Imperial Guards were handling a case, everyone would squat down with their heads in their hands."

The Imperial Guards, wearing straw hats and carrying raindrops and an air of menace, rushed in quickly.

All of this suddenness caused many scholars and courtesans to let out shrill cries.

Afterwards, those who had sobered up a bit fell silent.

'Pah-ta-ta.'

Giving them no time to think, the highly targeted Imperial Guards split into two teams and rushed towards the second and third floors.

Before long, the people in the hall heard their screams.

"You, why do you arrest us?"

"What crime have we committed?"

The first person to scream was none other than Ma Shi of Changhe, who had just rewarded Cui Gu.

Not only him, but even from the third floor, the roar of the Vice Minister of Rites could be heard.

"I am the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"You Imperial Guards are simply lawless."

Upon hearing these words and seeing the Jinyiwei's crude manners, the scholars in the hall were all filled with righteous indignation.

Cui Gu, who had just benefited the most, immediately stood up and said, "Report to the authorities, report to the authorities immediately."

"I refuse to believe that there's no law in the capital."

Upon hearing this, a sudden voice rang out throughout the room.

"Report to the official?"

"Who goes there to accuse me?"

"what?"

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall, as well as the Ma family from Changhe who were forcibly taken downstairs and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, subconsciously turned their heads to look.

Then, Deng Ziyue, dressed in a flying fish robe, strode over, his hand on his embroidered spring knife.

Behind him, a Jinyiwei guard carrying a flag stayed close by.

The flying fish flag was familiar to everyone present.

The surname can also be embedded in the very center of the flag.

Under heaven, only the 'Xu's Flag' is unique!

Even a fool would know now who these Imperial Guards are representing in handling the case.

“Deng, Deng Ziyue…”

"On what charges have you arrested me?"

"Yes, what did we do wrong?"

Deng Ziyue, who was in charge of the patrol battalion in the capital, was a figure of some importance.

Therefore, he was recognized at a glance by the Vice Minister of Rites.

"you guess!"

"Huh? You, you..."

"If I, the commander, were to say that you have done nothing wrong, then we, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, would simply be bored and want to arrest you."

"Isn't this reason hard to accept?"

At this point, Deng Ziyue walked up to the other party with a cold smile. He immediately added, "Then if I, the commander, were to tell you..."

"Today, not only you, but all of you will be arrested..."

"We'll also ransack your homes. Wouldn't that make you even more excited?"

'boom.'

When they heard this, the whole scene was in an uproar.

"Lawless and unruly."

"Under the Emperor's very nose, you Imperial Guards dare to be so arrogant. This is truly outrageous..."

'Snapped. '

‘Crack. ’

"Ow."

Before the Ma family of Changhe could finish speaking, Deng Ziyue, who had taken a step forward, stomped on and broke their supporting leg.
