After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

People on the street hadn't noticed these things yet. They were just whispering about the papers they had just picked up. Everyone was surrounding a wall in front, and the number of people kept increasing. When some people came later to ask questions, the people in front kept explaining.

"Hey, you're in the front, did you see everything? What's written on the wall?"

"Well, I read some of it. It's about the Zhu Nian family in Mo City."

"Hey, I saw some of it, too. They said that something had happened to their family. They were originally an honest family."

"It is said that it is their neighbor who is even more pitiful. It is also a sudden disaster. They have lived here for decades. How could there be an assassin? Whether you can find out or not, you should give an explanation."

"Who says it's not true? You can just give an explanation anyway."

"How terrible!"

"Since they are arresting a suspect, that's normal. What does it have to do with us? Ah, what else does it say?"

"What I saw was that the officials from Beijing who went to the capital wanted to arrest everyone in our Mo City, saying that everyone was a suspect."

While everyone was talking, some yamen runners came hurriedly over, holding sticks and driving the people away.

"Disperse, disperse, no looking." With a loud noise, the characters posted on the wall were torn off.

"Hand over the person who knows the truth, otherwise he will be treated as an accomplice." The bailiff shouted loudly and took away the papers in the hands of the people.

These government offices are all familiar faces in Mo City, so the people are not that afraid. After all, they are old acquaintances who have lived in Mo City for decades. The prime minister has three doors of poor relatives at his doorstep, not to mention that you can still make connections here by taking a roundabout way.

"What's going on? Are they going to start arresting people?" Curious people gathered around the government office and asked.

The government office waved his hands and said, "It's okay, no, no, don't believe the rumors."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone screamed and the soldiers came to arrest people.

Soldiers, arresting people? Everyone looked back and saw a group of soldiers rushing over not far ahead. They were the Beijing soldiers that everyone had seen several times. At this time, they were aggressive and looked ferocious.

The street suddenly became quiet for a moment, and the sound of Tata's horse hooves struck the hearts of everyone present.

"The soldiers are arresting people..." someone shouted again.

"Run! The soldiers are arresting people."

Sure enough, they are here to arrest people. Sure enough, everyone is a suspect. The people who had been appeased could no longer stay where they were. The streets suddenly fell into chaos. Everyone ran, falling down, and shouting for their parents.

"No, it's not like that, it's not like that." Although the government office clarified it again immediately, who could hear it in the chaos?

"Haha, haha, look, look how scared they are." The officers and soldiers who went to the capital said with some pride. They even wanted to give them the best, which was simply overestimating their own abilities.

"What are you doing?"

A loud roar came from behind the Beijing official. It turned out that it was Prefect Liang who arrived, and behind him were Mo Chen's officials.

Humph, I heard that the last time they were going to arrest someone, they were obstructed by Liang Jingtian. He even scolded them at that time. Does he want to repeat the same trick this time? Humph, what a joke, it won’t be so easy this time.

These Beijing officials are not afraid of him.

The official raised the token in his hand and said, "Prefect Liang, we are going to arrest the suspect now. Do you want to come with us? We are only following orders."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liang Jingtian, "Whose orders are you following? What you are doing now is just adding fuel to the fire." After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go."

As he waved his hand, the officers and soldiers behind him not only did not leave, but even surrounded them. The situation on the scene suddenly changed.

The general of the Beijing official was furious and said, "Sir Liang, you dare to privately mobilize the guards of Mo City to deal with us. What are you doing? Are you planning to rebel?"

Liang Jingtian said angrily, "You are deliberately causing resentment among the people by doing this. Now is not the time to talk too much. Shao Jinhua, please deal with these matters quickly."

"Come with me to see Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liao quickly. If we are late, something bad will happen."

Looking at the group of people flying away, Su Qinghe, who was standing at the foot of Qinghe Academy, raised his hand towards a cliff.

"The city is in chaos," he said.

Even though Su Qinghe was quite far away, he could still see that it was the carriage of Prefect Liang, and there were many people behind them searching people.

“As you wished, Zhang Zhe and Liao Chengyi, Zhang Zhe, Liao Chengyi and others have plotted against Yingge.

"As you said, Liao Chengyi wants to send troops to reveal the truth. Zhang Zhe knows what kind of person he is.

Su Qinghe said, "It's just as you said. Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe added fuel to the fire." He paused and said, "So it was you who deliberately angered them last time when Bao'er was here?"

Yingge opened her mouth wide. Even if they only had one Baoer, they could have avoided it. I protected her only because I wanted her to know that I was sincere. She must not be considered a blind person.

Su Qinghe said, "Yes, Young Master Yingge is wise and kind-hearted." Then he frowned and said, "What if, I mean, Prefect Liang persuades them to stop, then won't this plan fail?"

"I have thought of this before, but now I can tell you clearly that it won't happen. You have to look at the officials in the capital. They are used to being arrogant. Last time, they made such a scene in front of Liu's house. The most important thing is that the reason they came here is not necessarily for Lu Gongqing. They have the same purpose as Lu Gongqing, to select those girls as concubines. They are all the same people. They would rather kill the wrong person than let anyone go."

Aren't those people here for Lu Gongqing? What else could they be here for? Su Qinghe frowned and said nothing, unless they were like Lu Gongqing and had other things to arrange behind the scenes.

"The death of Lu Gongqing has made everyone panic, and the Zhu Nian family's affairs have made people even more uneasy. If I confront Zhang Zhe and Liao Chengyi in public, it will definitely push everyone's anger forward a step further, which will also make them more arrogant. In order to deter, the whole city will be terrified."

Everyone is a suspect and everyone may be arrested. This is no longer something that happens to others, but something that may happen to yourself, so no one can stand by and watch.

Su Qinghe tapped his fan and said, "This is a great plan. Now all we need is an east wind."

"This kind of thing is very serious. In order to avoid being exposed, let's let those students take a break first." Although everyone volunteered, she was the one who instigated this matter, and her original intention was not to let everyone get involved in this matter and cause problems.

"I understand. You arranged this matter. I'm relieved." After saying that, he patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, it's almost time for class. Let's go to class."

After the group separated, Su Qinghe arrived at the church where he was taking classes. There were already dozens of people seated inside, with young men aged fifteen or sixteen sitting upright in the hall. There was no laughing or making noise, only the occasional whisper of reading.

Su Qinghe walked over and sat down. He suddenly took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to the classmate next to him, saying, "I picked this up in the street market. I don't know what to do after reading it. Take a look at this."

The students were curious and stretched their necks to look. "Hey, let me see what's written on it. It seems like I saw it when I passed by the street market this morning."

The commotion here attracted the attention of the surrounding students, "What are you talking about? Are you talking about yesterday's homework? I want to see it too."

The student replied, "No, Qinghe saw an article and everyone was curious and was watching it."

"Come, come, let me take a look at it too." When the students heard this, they immediately gathered around with interest. The student also passed it among them, but there was no loud noise or exclamation from beginning to end. Everyone just passed it silently.

"So this is it."

"Is this something that was circulated outside? You picked it up too, right?"

Everyone occasionally discussed and whispered until it reached the last student. The footsteps of the teacher coming to class were heard outside the door. Su Qinghe stood up and walked to the student and said, "Give it to me, I'll give it to the teacher. Otherwise, passing it back and forth like this will cause trouble."

The teacher who was about to enter the classroom heard the last sentence and asked, "What's the trouble?"

The student handed him the paper. After Su Qinghe got it, he walked up to the teacher and handed it to him, "Sir, I found this on my way to school."

The gentleman took the paper and looked at it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He lowered his head to read the contents and roughly guessed what was going on. After all, it had spread all over the outside world and it was not surprising that people were talking about this matter in school.

"Don't spread these things anymore. These matters will be decided by the government officials."

Su Qinghe said yes repeatedly.

"We were suspicious and worried that something might happen, so we handed it over to you, sir."

The teacher nodded to show that he understood. "It's best if you can think this way. Let's continue to talk about the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics today."

In the afternoon, the students in the academy gradually quieted down. Some were reading, while others were reading aloud. The teachers patrolling among them looked a little relaxed.

Hey, you see, your head is pretty good now, "It's good to study like this. No one is talking about Zhu Nian anymore."

It's true that they are young at heart. They forgot everything in just a few days.
