Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Chen Shao's internal energy was exhausted and he fell to the ground. When Fu Jiu came over, he immediately asked, "What happened?"

Fu Jiu shook her head. "I don't know exactly what happened. When Bao Chengle and I came back with Zhou Shan, we saw a crowd of people at the foot of the mountain. They said they were all going up the mountain to plead for Sun Guishan, saying that he was a good official and asking the young master not to wrongly accuse a good man. I was afraid something might happen, so I came back to inform the young master first."

nice guy?

Chen Shao sneered silently. Black Stone Cliff was six or seven miles away from the nearest village. She had just detained them yesterday, and today a large number of people came to plead for him.

What a good person!

After taking a look in the direction of Luoyun Mountain, Chen Shao walked down the mountain.

This Sun Guishan was even more treacherous and cunning than she had imagined.

Every step she took on her way to Mengshe Prison seemed to be within his calculations.

Even asking for permission was asked.

This is because they know that she values ​​the people, so they use the people to deal with her.

Ah.

"Master," Fu Jiu looked back again and again without giving up, and finally couldn't help but stop her in front of her, "Master, please wait here for a while. I will go back and call a few more people over, and then we will go down the mountain together."

"No need." Chen Shao walked past him and continued to walk down the mountain. "They are just a few civilians. When I was in Hongyuan County, I was not afraid of the Gu family and the Zhu family. How could I be afraid of them? You don't have to follow me. Go back and tell Chan Yi to go to Yunluo Mountain immediately!"

Fu Jiu refused: "It's not just a few, it's hundreds!"

"That's better." After motioning him to move aside, Chen Shao said as he walked, "There are several hundred people, all of them are civilians. I have to bring elite soldiers with me. They are afraid and may not dare to tell the truth. I am alone, with a large number of people, and they can speak freely about anything in their hearts. Okay, don't delay me, hurry back to find Chan Yi!"

Fu Jiu didn't understand what was in her heart, nor did she know how to refute. After looking at the sword in her hand, she could only grit her teeth and return to the iron mine.

Chen Shao walked down the mountain alone, holding a sword. When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he saw the people moving up the mountain and paused for a moment.

"Lord Chen is here!" A sharp-eyed person among the people shouted.

The black crowd slowly stopped and looked upwards in unison.

Chen Shao curled the corners of his mouth and continued walking towards them.

When she was thirty steps away from them, seeing that she did not stop, the people involuntarily slowly retreated.

Fearing a stampede, Chen Shao slowly stopped.

After retreating several steps, the people slowly stopped when they were sure that she would not move forward.

Chen Shao glanced at everyone one by one without saying a word.

After a moment of silence, someone shouted, "Master Chen, please release Master Sun!"

The people seemed to be awakened and started shouting as well, each time louder than the last.

Chen Shao let them shout and remained silent.

After two cups of tea.

The shouting voices gradually died down until no one spoke anymore.

Chen Shao held his sword and waited for a moment before he asked expressionlessly, "You all came here in such a group just to ask me to release Lord Sun?"

No one spoke, only one or two people in the middle of the crowd shouted loudly: "Yes, Lord Sun is a good official!"

Chen Shao asked calmly: "Then tell me, how did he get better?"

"Lord Sun is an honest official, fair in justice, and loves the people like his own children!" Still only one or two people in the center of the crowd spoke.

Chen Shao nodded in agreement: "If that's the case, he would indeed be a good official."

——"Since Lord Chen also agrees that Lord Sun is a good official, please release Lord Sun!"

The person shouting hid well.

Even though Chen Shao was in a high position, he could only lock onto the opponent's approximate location, but not the specific person.

Chen Shao was not in a hurry. He looked away from the approximate location of the person who was shouting and looked at the people around him again: "Who are the miners on Black Stone Cliff?"

The people looked at each other in bewilderment. The person who had called out was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he quickly replied, "Of course they are all nearby people!"

Chen Shao smiled and said, "Since they are all local residents, are they good people or bad people?"

Before the person who called out this time opened his mouth, the people responded one after another: "Of course he is a good person!"

"I also think they are all good people." After Chen Shao confirmed their answers, he changed the subject and said, "Do any of you have family members working in the mine? If so, please raise your hands for me to see?"

People raised their hands one after another, and soon they joined together.

"There are quite a few people." Chen Shao nodded and continued, "How many people are working in Jizi Cave, Gengzi Cave, and Xinzi Cave? Raise your hands so I can see."

It has been seven days since the iron mine collapsed.

The surrounding counties and towns have long been known to everyone.

Every day, many people wander around the foot of the mountain just to find out what's going on on the mountain.

Now that she clearly mentioned Ji Cave, Geng Cave, and Xin Cave, doesn't this mean that the accidents happened in... The people whose family members worked in these three mines ignored everything else, squeezed out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed desperately to beg her to save their families.

Chen Shao hardened his heart and said coldly: "We have been rescuing people, but we don't have enough manpower. Since you are here, don't come here in vain. You guys..."

Chen Shao casually pointed at the thirteen people kneeling and said, "Come here."

Thirteen people quickly stood up and ran over.

Chen Shao asked them to stand in a row facing all the people. "From now on, you guys are the captains of the iron mine rescue team. You can each select 50 to 60 people as your teammates to go up the mountain to participate in the rescue. Remember, your teammates can only be people you are familiar with. After going up the mountain, you are responsible for the food, clothing, housing, transportation, words and deeds of all your teammates. That is, if your teammates make mistakes, you will be punished twice as much. If your teammates perform well, you will also be rewarded twice as much. Do you understand?"

The thirteen people answered in unison: "I understand!"

Chen Shao said: "Then let's pick someone!"

Thirteen people immediately rushed into the crowd and quickly picked their candidates.

Rewards and punishments are secondary. What’s important is that those buried there are their family members!

Less than two cups of tea.

All thirteen people have been selected.

"Go up the mountain, go up the mountain and find a man named Kang Tian, ​​and follow his command!" Just as Chen Shao finished giving the order, someone among the people who were not selected shouted, "Master Chen, please release Master Sun!"

"Everyone, don't worry." Seeing that some people were already running up the mountain, not caring about whether it was Lord Sun or not, Chen Shao curled his lips slightly and promised loudly, "Before the rescue is over, I will never convict Lord Sun for no reason! Human lives are at stake, so please hurry up the mountain to save people!"

The people who were picked out immediately turned around and ran up the mountain.

Looking at their backs rushing forward, Chen Shao curled the corners of his mouth again.

She arrived at Black Stone Cliff yesterday.

Only fifteen or sixteen hours have passed so far.

If you want to gather so many people in a short period of time, you can only do it in the nearest county or town.

Most of the miners in the mountains come from nearby counties and towns.

They wanted to use these people to escape, and she could naturally use these people to restrain them.

After all, there were not just one or two people buried under the collapsed iron mine, but nearly three hundred people!

Nearly three hundred bodies, that means at least nearly two hundred families.

How could the broken apart of nearly two hundred families be wiped out with just one sentence from Sun Guishan: he was an honest official and had a fair and just criminal justice system?

What's more, if his identity was fake, after the rescue was over, he would be charged with the serious crimes of murder and impersonating an imperial official!
