Chapter 203: Not a Moment’s Delay

This on the next day’s residence newspaper headlines of the public trial of the General Assembly, before and after three hours, until Su Yan publicly announced, will be the biggest suspects in the explosion of the White Paper Square – Vacuum Cult thoroughly investigated to the end, will be a cadre of masterminds arrested for questioning, and the rest of the accomplices, even if it is a powerful noble relatives will never be tolerated, only in the people’s thunderous cries of the end.

The high platform was not immediately dismantled, but the descending white cloth was torn away by a portion of the populace, who trampled on the ground to vent their anger, and trampled stains all over the Red Lotus Seal and the inked characters.

Su Yan saw this scene, thinking suddenly jumped, thought of the street wall root hidden place of those red lotus marks, in the future for fear of drawing out, will be the same circle, diagonal pole crossed out, or follow the gourd also write a “cheat” word, just like the latter days of the demolition team painted the wall, and then couldn’t help but be amused.

“Imperial Secretary Su.” Someone called out.

He turned around and saw that Zuo Guangbi, the langzhong of the Ministry of Justice, had left at some point, and the one who spoke out was Chu Qiu, the imperial inspector of the Duzha Academy, so he greeted him as well, “Imperial inspector Chu.”

Chu Qiu said: “Su royal historian courage is commendable, can think of how to deal with retaliation and counterattack? Wei family has the backing of the empress dowager, the vacuum religion is disjointed and hidden in the city, this open fire and hidden arrows are all alive.”

Su Yan recalled that Emperor Jinglong had also said that he was setting himself up on a woodpile to burn, so he nodded: “Many thanks to Lord Chu for reminding me. However, where the path is concerned, even though there are millions of people, I will go forward.”

This sentence was invoked appropriately, Chu Qiu heard it solemnly, arching his hand and saying, “Gong for my fellow travelers.”

Su Yan into the dynasty as an official for a year, because of the imperial historian, the situation of the Academy also have some understanding, that the Chu imperial historian is really have a clear flow of the bones of the official, so in the name of the investigation team will be drawn over to participate in the case. After this contact, the outlook is better, so he returned the salute with a straight face: “There is a sequence of hearing, Chu adults are my seniors.”

Chu Qiu said, “But a little older a few years, ‘senior’ two words dare not take, call me table word ‘Lingchuan’ can.”

Su Yan laughed, “Then Brother Lingchuan can call me ‘Qinghe’ as well.”

Although we meet each other with a bow, the intention has been a thousand years. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and were considered to have made friends.

After the people dispersed, Su Yan also did not take the official sedan chair, so he took the carriage, escorted by the guards back to the house.

A few moments later, King Yu rode up after him.

Su Yan was afraid that he would come to keep watch again, and after expressing his gratitude again, he pushed that he was very tired today, and wanted to go home and sleep early, and had no energy to stay with the guests any longer.

King Yu kindly laughed: “This expulsion order is quite a bit like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Unfortunately, this king does not want to compete with the group of guards sent by his royal brother for the bed in the outer room of your bedroom, Qinghe is overly concerned.”

Su Yan made a big red face, thinking that you are not here to flirt again, then stop my carriage to do what?

As if King Yu had heard his bellyaching, he leaned over and whispered, “I just want to remind Qinghe – Huanghua Fang is to the north, adjacent to Clarification Fang where my royal residence is located. But your carriage was driven west, so I guess the driver didn’t know the way and went south.”

Su Yan originally wanted to go to Shen Mansion in Hourong Square to visit Shen Qi before returning home, but now his mind was pierced, and he couldn’t get over his face. And worried that Yu Wang followed to stir up the situation, stimulate the injury has not yet healed Shen Qi, so he had to order: “Car driver, turn right in front, go to the Huanghua Square Su House.”

King Yu’s face looked good as he succeeded in his purpose, escorting Su Yan to the door of his house and seeing him enter the courtyard with a few guards before he said take care and turned his horse around to leave.

Su Yan wanted to be angry, but could not be angry, after all, Yu Wang helped a lot tonight, although deliberately stirred up his date with Shen Qi, but also did not stalk him like before, on the contrary, it seems to be quite genteel.

He had to laugh and curse a “scheming dog”, let the boy went to the Shen residence to pass a note, saying that today there is something not yet done, tomorrow to visit.

As a result, by “tomorrow”, he was busy with official business and put it off until after nightfall.

They say ride the heat, and so does the battle for public opinion.

The public trial was just the beginning. Under Su Yan’s planning, five districts in the capital, operated by their respective military departments, set up “special zones for victims of the Vacuum Cult to report their cases” in the downtown area, and received complaints in public.

At first the people were watching the fun, and even if they had grievances, no one dared to be the head of the pack.

Su Yan beforehand let stone eaves frost and Wei Tassel to find those victims came in handy. Wan Xin, as he expected, is a businessman at heart, and has come into contact with a large number of congregations wanting to develop business opportunities, so the testimony provided is trivial but true.

For example, a certain chief of incense cheated and raped a female believer in the name of preaching; the hysterical family members of a certain people were regarded as evil devils by the congregation and burned alive; and which congregation members, in order to cure the disease and eliminate the karma, sold their pots and pans, and finally caused their families to perish. …… The list goes on and on.

These victims have no way to sue, but also afraid of the vacuum religion of the “power”, can only beat the teeth in the stomach. Do not want to come to a group of jinyiwei, all kinds of persuasion, and take out money to do what “the courage to expose the evil forces reward money”, and even help to write a complaint, let them go to the five cities set up by the Secretary of the Department of the special area of the police to report the case.

Finally a few of the sufferers were persuaded to go and hand in their petitions and describe the crimes of the Vacuum Cult in public as required, and sure enough they got their bonuses afterwards.

Seeing that others had gotten a taste of it, but anyone who had been victimized, congregation or not, came to sue.

On the platform of the special area for reporting cases, there were women crying and complaining of rape, old women crying with tears for their sons to come back to life, and some who had lost their benches, spatulas, and watchdogs blaming the Vacuum Sect for their loss.

All sorts of black information spread, snowballing in the capital and the Kinki region, becoming hard evidence of the scourge of the Vacuum Sect.

As is often the case in the world, once word of mouth collapses and everyone falls off the wagon, it’s hard to get back on your feet.

All sorts of revealing notes and reported information, the brocade guards are even more counted until their hands are soft.

So more and more people rushed here, squeezing and shoving each other to report the case. There were even some swarthy martial arts practitioners who directly kidnapped the small leader of the Vacuum Cult to claim credit and receive the second type of prize money set up by the task force – the “National Reward for Courage and Courage”.

The arrested small leaders of the Vacuum Cult were unlucky enough to take the lead in bearing the wrath of the people, and were first bombarded with a barrage of rotten eggs and leaves without being told.

This situation, really called a tree toppled monkeys scattered, the wall fell down many people push, and finally only fell into an empty chicken feathers.

“See, this is the power of the people. As the saying goes, drowning the enemy in the sea of people’s war–” Su Yan just got off the carriage, he accidentally stepped on the rotten vegetable leaves on the ground, almost came to a sliding shovel, fortunately, next to the stone eave frost eyes and hands fast, a hand to grip the collar.

Su Yan, who straightened his lapel after standing steadily, was a bit embarrassed, coughed dryly, and changed the topic, “That, the few toys you arranged for yesterday’s public trial assembly were good, with a natural look and reasonable lines ……”

“I’m sorry, Lord Su,” Stone Eaves Frost interrupted sardonically, “In fact, those few weren’t touts, they were really the people. The Brocade Guards did plant hidden spies in the crowd, but as a result, we didn’t expect the people to be driven by the infection of your lordship’s emotions at that time, and each of them spoke mindlessly. Our people only took the lead in shouting a few ‘Liar Cult’, and it didn’t come in handy ……”

Su Yan froze: this degree of cooperation is really, God! Worthy of being the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, the people’s ideological awareness is high.

I also don’t know what the situation is in other prefectures that also exploded on the second day of February. We must hurry to organize and report this mode of public opinion warfare, so that the Emperor can send it out to various places as soon as possible and promote it vigorously.

Today he did not go to the morning court for this matter, but since some people give him a message. Yesterday made such a big commotion, even Wei Joon’s younger brother was imprisoned as a tainted witness, Wei family could not possibly not know, today’s court meeting was calm, Wei’s party did not have a single official on the sparse attack on him, and even talk about this matter are not.

Su Yan believes that there must be a demon when things go wrong. But where the demon is, and when it will suddenly jump out to give him a fatal blow, is not yet known, can only raise their own vigilance.

On the other hand, it is the side of the Censor Yuan, headed by Chu Qiu, a group of imperial historians, impeached Feng An Marquis Wei Jun instructed his brother Wan Xin, collusion with the court banned the vacuum religion, is an accessory to the explosion of the White Paper Square case.

Wei Jun because of disability can not go to the court in self-defense, will be entrusted to his brother Xian’an Hou Wei Yan to the emperor on a letter of blood, as expected Su Yan, “do not know, heartbroken, righteousness” three bombs in a row, begging the court to be just and straightforward, his brother to the right law. In short, it is all Wan Xin’s fault, and his Wei family has nothing to do.

When Wan Xin was informed of this in the Imperial Prison, he was so angry that he cursed “the old pig dog with a broken arm that bites people after eating buns” and said to Su Yan: “I tried my best not to implicate the Wei family and only testified against the Vacuum Cult, but he wants to abandon me to save the car? Since you are unkind, you should not blame me for being unrighteous! Does he think that I only have silver in my eyes and know nothing? The Wei family’s salacious affairs, just the ones that leaked out from the cracks of his fingers, are enough to put him on the chopping block three times.”

Su Yan smiled and replied, “Even if you retaliate against Wei Joon, there is still Wei Yan and Noble Consort Wei, who can crush you like an ant by stretching out a finger.”

Wan Xin cried out, “For the sake of the fact that I will be punished, Lord Su saved my life!”

Su Yan patted his shoulder, comforted: “In fact, I quite like the businessman, profit and benefit, clear, than those moralistic hypocrites lovely much. Right now for you, the imperial prison is the safest place, you temporarily stay here, I order the jailer to treat you well. Regarding the Wei family, write down everything you know and give it to me, and I’ll make sure you live.”

Wan Xin at this time in addition to believe him, hope him, no other way to live, had to press Su Yan said, racked his brains to write the Wei family’s crimes and evil deeds.

Su Yan knows that with these alone, it is not enough to break the Wei family from the root, must come up with ironclad evidence, proving that it has the heart of an insubordinate, the act of conspiracy, so that the empress dowager breaks the support for them to do.

This task, come to think of it, must still fall to the Vacuum Cult.

As long as you can catch the master of the Church, the vacuum religion collusion Wei family, instructed Jiyao to mislead the Empress Dowager, assassinate the Crown Prince, burning Kun Ning Palace, spread rumors of rebellion and so on the old accounts of all turned out, the Wei family will be completely finished.

If I were the Vacuum Sect Master, and my hard-earned foundation had been uprooted in the capital, would I want to kill the culprit named Su Yan? The answer is inevitable, the heart of a broken body is there!

I have seven killing battalions under me, so many assassins pouring out, cold arrows in the air; poison in the meal; disguised as a night watchman, let him go to the toilet in the middle of the night, and a knife can be stuck out of the toilet bowl …… There are many ways to kill people.

After Su Yan switched places, he broke out into a white-haired sweat, feeling that from now on, every breath he took could be inhaled into a deadly poisonous mist.

The so-called dancing on the tip of a knife and walking a tightrope on a cliff are nothing more than that.

Somehow, Su Yan thought of Shen Qi. He wondered if he was in the same mood when he decided to bring down Feng De Evil.

Would Shen Qi be nervous and scared?

Regret while being tortured by grooming?

How does someone who is so desperate to live and work his way up the ladder overcome the survival instinct and is willing to give up everything to save another person’s life and future?

Su Yan let out a heartbreaking sigh.

He was alone in his bedroom at midnight for a few moments in a state of bewilderment, and from the bottom of his heart sprang a very strong impulse to–

He wanted to see Shen Qi. Without a moment’s delay, he ran to Qi Lang’s side.
