Good morning Daming - Chapter 541: Cut off, Little Zhuge, wait to go to prison

Chapter 542: Cut off, Little Zhuge, wait to go to prison

As the deputy of the prefect, Huang Jing was not extremely powerful in Suzhou Prefecture, but he could make the prefecture tremble with just a stomp of his feet.

Even the powerful had to show some respect to him when they saw him, and not a penny less of the tribute they were supposed to give him every year.

For a big boss like this who can run rampant in Suzhou Prefecture, someone wants to tell you that someone dared to whip Huang Jing in the street, and humiliated him, saying that he would kill him...

Who believes?

But today, in front of countless people, right in the downtown area, Jiang Qingzhi gave Huang Jing a horsewhip.

The whip marks on his face were shocking to look at.

Since arriving in Suzhou Prefecture, Jiang Qingzhi and the officials and gentry of Suzhou Prefecture have been maintaining a superficial balance, but this whip... no, to be precise, when the other party used the crossbow, the balance was broken.

Jiang Qingzhi’s response was a whip and one sentence: Wait for death!

Huang Jing covered his face with his hands. The huge humiliation made him want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but at this moment, there was another thing that made him panic...

"Tell the Lord that they failed."

"Yes." A trusted clerk left quietly.

Huang Jing looked at Jiang Qingzhi who was being escorted to the base in front of him, and said with gritted teeth: "Are you going to fight to the death? Then don't blame Suzhou Prefecture for keeping you here!"

Outside the base, dozens of people were blocking the gate, and more than a dozen men and women in mourning were wailing.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, everyone turned around.

"It's that bitch's son!"

"It's Jiang Qingzhi who's here."

Amid the muttering, an old man slowly walked over.

"I am Ye Chong."

Jiang Qing's previous family had a low status in the family and was excluded from every gathering. This was even more true for his original self. As a son-in-law, Jiang Gan didn't even have the qualifications to be on the periphery.

Ye Xuan always went to every Ye family gathering, and Jiang Qingzhi could not participate.

So he had only heard of the name Ye Chong.

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

Sun Chonglou whispered beside him, "Master, his third son Ye Sheng once humiliated you."

Ye Sheng?

Ye Chong said, "Your mother passed away after giving birth to you. Many people in the clan said that you were born with bad luck and would bring bad luck to your mother. Some even said that you should be... drowned."

Jiang Qingzhi narrowed his eyes, holding the whip in his hand, thinking about the young man who was blocked by his tribesmen and scolded as a star of misfortune and a monster that killed his mother...

"It was I who insisted on keeping you alive. I said that Fifth Brother only had this one daughter, this one flesh and blood, so let her live! So you survived."

On the other side of the street, someone stood under the eaves and whispered, "Have someone come and watch. Make sure Jiang Qingzhi is afraid to take any action."

"Come and see! Ye and Jiang Qingzhi are having a fight."

The crowd came like a tide and soon surrounded the place, making it impossible to get through.

"Old Xu." Jiang Qingzhi took out the medicinal cigarette.

"exist."

"Let them attack now. Go to the government office and protect the coroner."

"Yes."

"Young Master." Sun Chonglou tried several times to light the matchstick, handed it over and muttered, "It would be great if Old Dou was here."

Jiang Qingzhi lit up the medicine cigarette and said to Ye Chong, "Anything else?"

Ye Chong glanced at the people around him and said, "Then my fifth brother left first, and then your father also left. You are the only one left in the entire Ye family..."

"And me!" Sun Chonglou said angrily. He was tall and strong, and he looked down at Ye Chong and spit in his face.

Ye Chong didn't look at him. "I thought you went to the capital and would never come back. The Ye family has been peaceful and stable recently. But I didn't expect you to come back again..."

Ye Chong sighed, "Just the day before yesterday, two people from the Ye family died."

The crowd watching exclaimed, "This person was killed by him!"

"Of course it is, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?"

"He has killed my biological mother, grandfather, and father... and now he has killed a member of my clan. If this person stays in Suzhou, he may bring disaster to us."

Someone was stirring up the emotions among the crowd.

"Is there any more?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

Ye Chong sighed, "Go back! Don't come again in this life. Ye's..." Ye Chong suddenly knelt down, "Ye's, I'm scared."

This was an old man from Jiang Qingzhi's generation, but he was kneeling in front of him, tears streaming down his face. "One of them is my nephew. Such a well-behaved child, but... I beg you, please go! Go far away and don't come back."

Jiang Qingzhi held a medicinal cigarette in his mouth and glanced at the Ye family members, with the voices of the crowd constantly coming to his ears.

"That's it?"

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and was about to speak when he heard someone shout, "He's lying!"

A woman squeezed out from the crowd on the left, and Sun Chonglou said, "It's Liang Yun!"

Liang Yun stumbled over, stood beside Jiang Qingzhi, and said to Ye Chong: "Before the little boy was one month old, someone from the clan came to persuade the old master to adopt someone from the clan as his son, but the old master refused. I was outside at the time and heard that person say that the little boy was weak and was afraid that he would die young..."

Jiang Qingzhi saw Sun Bu Tong. In the past few days, Jiang Qingzhi asked him to follow Liang Yun to investigate some things that happened in the past. Now it seems that they have gained a lot.

"Later, when the young master was one month old, someone from the clan came again and said that the young master had killed his biological mother. Aren't you afraid of being killed by him? The old man said that if he was killed, I would be able to meet the eldest lady in the underworld, which would not be bad. The man got angry and said that if you are so stubborn, you will be careful that no one will see you off to the end of your life."

Jiang Qingzhi smiled and asked, "Who is that person?"

Liang Yun pointed at Ye Chong and said, "It's him!"

With a bang, the crowd of onlookers exploded.

"Who is this woman?" someone shouted.

Liang Yun shouted at the top of her voice: "I am the lady's close friend, and later I took care of the young master for three years. I know all these things clearly!"

She pointed at Ye Chong and said, "It was he who repeatedly persuaded the old master to adopt a child, and that man is his son! And he was born to me, a concubine!"

"Fuck, this is going to wipe out the entire family!"

"He looked like a decent, kind man, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious."

Ye Chong's expression changed slightly, "Bitch, you are talking nonsense!"

"Who are you calling a bitch?" Sun Chonglou asked.

Just as Ye Chong was about to speak, Jiang Qingzhi's whip came and with a snap, Ye Chong covered his face and screamed.

"How dare you do that?" An old man from the Ye family was furious. Ye Sheng rushed over, supported Ye Chong, and said to Jiang Qingzhi coldly: "This is Suzhou Prefecture. Your biological mother is from the Ye family. How can you whip your mother's uncle in public? How can this be justified? How can this be filial piety?" Filial piety is one of the core concepts of the Central Plains dynasty in governing the world.

Filial piety is the social order. Only when children and grandchildren respect their parents and ancestors can a family and a clan be stable. By extension, only when subordinates obey their superiors almost like filial piety can the government at all levels be in good order...

Starting from the most basic unit, the family, to the court, the emperor, his subjects, and his sons... once this order is established, the social framework will become stable.

Therefore, filial piety was never pedantic, but rather contained the philosophy of governing the country at that time.

The surroundings fell silent, with countless people looking at Jiang Qingzhi.

This is using filial piety to pressure others. Your biological mother, Jiang Qingzhi, was born in the Ye family. Unless she comes back to life, you really can't be so cruel today.

Poor kid… An old man whispered, “His parents are dead, his grandparents are dead, and he is the only one left in the world. But his mother’s family is still trying to ruin his reputation…”

"Father, this is a bad omen!" someone objected.

The old man sighed, "I have lived for more than sixty years. If there is such a person, there is nothing to do in the court. Send him to the frontier to kill all the foreign cavalry.

As for the saying that the parents died of bad luck, how many women die in childbirth every year? Everyone is killed by their children? Isn't this nonsense?"

Jiang Qingzhi took a step forward.

He said, "My mother is my mother. Now the tablets of my mother and my grandfather are in Xin'an Lane in the capital. What does the Ye family of Suzhou have to do with me?"

These words are making it clear to everyone: From now on, I, Jiang Qingzhi, will have no ties with the Suzhou Ye family and will no longer have any relationship with them!

As for filial piety, I have brought the tablets of my maternal grandfather and mother to my home in the capital for worship. Wherever I am, there they are.

My filial piety is in the capital, and you, Ye, are just my relatives from the Outer Eighth Route Army. How can you talk to me about filial piety?

Ye Chong: “…”

……

"Send them all out!" Yang and Yang Bai looked pale. "If the assassination fails, Jiang Qingzhi will definitely turn against us completely. The soldiers haven't come yet because the woman is still on the way."

He looked at the tyrants with different expressions, "I know you still have good hands. Those good hands who used to suppress tenants and slaves, bring them out. In this time of life and death, are you still keeping them for your coffin? Send them all out to intercept that woman, no matter if she lives or dies, no, kill her!"

Someone said, "At the beginning, you, Yang Bai, swore that you alone could defeat Jiang Qingzhi, but what about now?"

"Yes, I did talk big at the beginning!" Yang Bai saw that everyone was looking at him with unfriendly eyes. He knew that these people could do anything in desperation, so he reached out and slapped himself hard.

"My biggest mistake was to underestimate Jiang Qingzhi!"

"It's not too late to mend the fence now!" Yang Bai said with a fierce smile, "Get out all the good fighters from each family and kill that woman."

"Where's the coroner?" someone asked, "If Jiang Qingzhi takes action by force..."

"He doesn't have this opportunity." Yang Bai said: "I asked Ye Shi to hold him back. It seems that they want to ruin his reputation, but in fact, they are just building a false front. I think it will be very lively outside the government office at this moment."

"What do you mean?" asked a powerful man.

"I sent someone to mobilize some people. Those idiots were brainless and followed my people after I gave them some benefits. They should be almost at the government office by now!"

Yang Bai said: "The matter of divine punishment on the biogas pond has made the farmers uneasy, but Suzhou Prefecture has been slow to deal with it. The people who came from the capital have also been slow to give a definite answer... The farmers are worried about divine punishment, so they came to the government office to inquire. There are so many people... the public is very excited..."

A tyrant suddenly stood up, "So they rushed into the government office, and someone was beaten to death in the chaos!"

"That person must be a coroner!"

"By the way, kill a few petty officials."

"Yes, that's how it should be."

"Brother Yang has great skills!"

"It's really my little Zhuge of Suzhou Prefecture!"

……

There was already a huge crowd outside the government office at this moment. Hundreds of people were attacking the gate of the government office, and more than a dozen minor officials were trying their best to stop them.

But the defense line is in danger.

The officials all gathered in the open space. Yang Changhe glanced at the coroner and saw him sitting in a secluded place. Not far away were the two men sent by Jiang Qingzhi to follow him.

"We'll take advantage of the chaos later and make them take action!" Yang Changhe whispered.

The confidant nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Fu."

There was a sudden explosion outside, and I heard a lot of shouting.

Yang Changhe lowered his head with ecstasy in his eyes.

"Escaped, escaped!"

Puff puff!

There was a sound of footsteps outside, in unison.

Puff puff!

The footsteps are getting closer.

"Who is this?" Yang Changhe looked up.

At this time, someone outside shouted, "Anyone who dares to break into the government office will be charged with treason and executed immediately!"

"It's soldiers!" someone outside screamed.
