Chapter 59 Justice
When Duan Jun arrived at the front yard, it was basically destroyed. The wooden tables and benches made of fine wood were smashed to pieces, which shows his angry mood.
Fortunately Zhen Qingyi stopped them, otherwise the Huang Mansion would have been demolished by their group, which would have been a waste of time.
Duan Jun walked up to Zhen Qingyi, bowed, and then answered the question he had asked him just now.
"Brother Li went to help Lord Gu, so he sent me to assist you, Master Zhen."
At this moment, the miners are also waiting, waiting for Huang Zhenxing to come out so that they can pay back double for all the injustices and even excessive bullying they have suffered in the past.
But they didn't wait for Huang Zhenxing. Instead, they waited for Huang Shan, the butler who had always been by his side, but he was tied up.
The person who brought him up was a young man wearing a lavender mask, with a refined temperament and dressed in black clothes.
And there were two young men following behind him.
It was obvious that the young man walking in front was the master of these two people. The miners became quiet for a moment when they saw such a handsome man.
She walked to the center of the lower part of the main hall in the front yard.
At this time, Zhen Qingyi and Duan Jun walked towards her.
"My lord, everything has been arranged. We have people all around, so you can rest assured."
Duan Jun moved closer to Gu Junqing and reported in a low voice.
Gu Junqing nodded, and then turned her eyes to the miners who were looking at her without knowing why. They obviously didn't know what she was doing. They were facing each other, as if they were in a confrontation, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while.
Until someone came to report that the prefect had arrived!
Mr. Prefect?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
I never expected that although Suzhou, as a direct-controlled prefecture, had a prefect, his presence was extremely low and his authority was basically overshadowed by the prefect.
Although the prefect is the highest-ranking official in a state, in Zhili Prefectures, the prefect is of equal rank to the prefect, and the prefect is also equivalent to a spy for the court to observe and monitor other officials.
However, in the eyes of the people of Suzhou, this prefect seemed really cowardly and depressed. Over time, the people almost forgot that they actually had a prefect.
But what is the purpose of this prefect who has no sense of existence coming to Huang Zhenxing's house today? You know, generally the prefect keeps an attitude of indifference towards the mess done by the master in the prefect's house, and it can even be said that he is too lazy to care about it.
Moreover, the distance between the prefectural government and the prefectural government is quite far. The prefect once complained in front of Huang Zhenxing that the distance was so far that he, an old man, really did not have the energy to come here.
The prefect is over 55 years old this year, and has been the prefect of Suzhou for five or six years. In order to avoid the power struggle among the princes, he voluntarily came to Suzhou, which is the so-called open demotion and secret protection. Therefore, he saved the lives of his family. But if he had taken sides, he would not know what would happen now. Fortunately, he was a neutral party, so he was spared.
The prefect's name was Yang Li.
Yang Li walked down slowly on the stool that the servant had just placed.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw a group of people gathered here. Yang Li frowned and was about to ask these people to make way for him to enter.
However, the people spontaneously moved to the left and right, clearing a path in the middle. Yang Li nodded as a token of gratitude. He went in, and the servant behind him hurriedly followed.
As soon as Yang Li entered the room, he saw a scene of confrontation between the two sides, especially Gu Junqing, who was standing in the middle of them. Her face was covered with a lavender mask, as if covered with ice and snow, and only a touch of bright red plum was particularly eye-catching. Yang Li recognized her. She was General Gu of the Great Qi, and everyone in the world knew her. But now she was wearing a mask as if it was inconvenient for her to reveal her true face, so people around her did not recognize her.
He was stunned, and then couldn't help but ask:
"What do you mean? Do you want to cause trouble in front of the prefect?"
Gu Junqing looked at Yang Li, her eyes behind the mask flickered as if there were stars flashing across them, her exquisite and perfect red lips were slightly curled, with a somewhat mysterious and seductive tone, she said slowly: "The prefect has misunderstood, we are here only to seek justice"
Upon hearing this, Yang Li followed her words and said "Oh" with a slightly rising tone. He paused and then said: "Really? What kind of justice requires so much trouble? Please tell me as soon as possible." Although the people gathered at the door were equally curious, they were also confused. Yang Li was the prefect of Suzhou and his status was naturally noble. Why should he be so polite and even respectful to a young man whose name was unknown?
There was no time to think deeply, because the young man spoke:
"Your Excellency the prefect, you may not know that I am just a kid who came to Suzhou from another place to have fun. Not long ago, I went to the east of the city to find the hunter Niu in the mountains. I wanted to buy a white fox he had recently hunted and take it back home to raise. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily as soon as I arrived in the mountains. I had no choice but to find a cave to take shelter from the rain..."
At this point, Gu Junqing paused deliberately, raised her eyes, and saw that everyone was listening attentively. They looked at Gu Junqing waiting for her next words, like an old monk in meditation listening to a story. Her eyebrows twitched slightly, and then she continued:
"I didn't expect that this cave was a different world. There was actually a group of people staying inside. They were ragged and skinny. They were guarded by guards wearing Huang Mansion clothes. If they were not careful, they would be beaten or scolded!" Gu Junqing was still talking, but some soft-hearted people could not help but start cursing the people of the Huang Mansion with disgust on their faces.
"…I was alone at the time, so it was difficult for me to go forward. But I met Master Zhen, so we took our own people to find a way and finally rescued these brothers. However, these were only a part of them. Most of the brothers did not follow. It was not that they did not want to leave, but that their resentful souls were trapped and could not find a place to rest…"
A gust of cold wind happened to blow by, and the people here were also reminded of the words that Gu Junqing had just said about those resentful souls. Thinking about it carefully, the people around them couldn't help but feel cold all over and a chill in their hearts.
The few people standing next to Gu Junqing who were in the know couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the cold atmosphere around them. They couldn't help but admire General Gu's ability to make up stories. If possible, he could really be a qualified storyteller.
Gu Junqing's eyes curved slightly, and he smiled, his face full of relief:
"Even so, although the brothers standing here have suffered such severe physical pain, at least their lives have been saved. We can ask the governor to give us justice!"
The last sentence ignited a certain fighting spirit in the miners who were originally listening to Gu Junqing quietly. After all, she was right! Since they had escaped, and someone was willing to take charge of the situation and seek justice for them, they should have cooperated and sought justice for their dead brothers!
"Justice!"
"Please seek justice for us, Lord Governor!"
……
The people around who were watching the show were infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but shout along!
Of course, perhaps some of them were touched by Gu Junqing’s words just now, and they retreated to advance. Their seemingly relieved words also naturally expressed the suffering they had endured, arousing the sympathy of the people.
