Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Su Qin was afraid that Tong Zhongqian would recognize him because he had seen him before, so he kept hiding behind other victims and watching them. When he saw Tong Zhongqian's eyes full of sadness and apology when he looked at him, his heart tightened.

Is this a case of continuing the execution even though they know that the person might be wrongly accused?

Su Qin has been an ordinary citizen in her past and present lives. She is patriotic, but has never experienced major events, so she cannot rise to a higher level and can only stay on the surface.

She understands that the world is not black and white, and that gray and unfairness must exist, but she still believes that there is more justice and fairness in the world.

So before just now, she firmly believed that as long as Tong Zhongqian and the others found out that they might have wronged Su Jijing and the others, they would not kill them.

She didn't expect that once things rise to the national level, there will be no justice or right or wrong. Everything will be based on the interests of the country and the interests of the majority.

If Su Jijing's case affected only a few people, then he could live despite being wrongly accused. However, his case affected a large number of people, and even the security of the country, so he must die.

She looked at the indignant victims around her and knew that she was shooting herself in the foot. She used the victims' anger to force out the real corrupt official behind the scenes.

However, the anger of the victims was so great that they might burn Su Jijing's family to death first.

She pursed her lips, trying to think of a solution. The victims were still cursing, but not as fiercely as before. They were also watching.

After thinking it over, Su Qin finally made up her mind to burn her boats and cross the river. Since she had taken advantage of the disaster victims, she would use them to the end.

It would be best if the Su family could be rescued. If not, she would make a big deal out of it and would not let the people behind this incident have an easy time.

So she hid in the back and muttered, "What happened? Will the prisoner be replaced? It seems that the real embezzler has been replaced. The court is really trying to fool us. I don't know if the rescued embezzler will spit out the disaster relief money. If the embezzler runs away with the money, will we starve to death here?"

Her voice was not loud, but Wang Er and Xu Chunshan next to her heard it.

Xu Chunshan's face was grim, but he remained calm. However, Wang Er couldn't help but raise his voice, "What? The embezzler was rescued?"

Su Qin nodded, pointed in the direction of Tong Zhongqian and the others and said, "I've seen that man in the city. He's the Minister of Justice. Didn't the prisoner just shout that he was replaced?

When he came over, his face looked very ugly, so it must be that the prisoner had been replaced.

Look at those kneeling people. They're being pulled by their hair and held up, but they're not moving. Are they dead?"

Wang Er tiptoed over to look because they were in the front and could see clearly. He couldn't see the faces of the dead people clearly, but he had seen so many dead people along the way that Wang Er could tell at a glance that the ones with pale faces were dead.

He immediately shouted angrily: "Those people are already dead. They used the dead to replace the real embezzlers. The embezzlers ran away with the money. The court is fooling us."

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly into a hot oil pan, and it exploded with a "bang".

The victims who were nearby were furious and started crying, shouting and cursing. The victims in the back who didn't know what was happening also started to squeeze forward after hearing what was coming from the front, wanting to see if they were being fooled.

Tens of thousands of disaster victims were pushing forward together, and the imperial guards, numbering only a few thousand, were unable to stop them. They couldn't really kill anyone, and once blood was shed, the situation would be irreversible. They could only try their best to stop them.

The officials who were discussing the matter turned pale with fear when they saw the suddenly agitated victims. Master Yan was so frightened that he almost fell down. He shouted in panic, "Quick, stop them!"

Then he said to Zhao Liangchen, "Quick, mobilize more troops. We can't control this number of people."

When Zhao Liangchen was about to leave, Tong Zhongqian stopped him: "Master Zhao cannot go."

Master Yan asked anxiously, "Why?"

Tong Zhongqian: "Just now, when Wu Bin mentioned that the prisoner had been replaced, Lord Zhao was so angry that he almost killed him. I suspect he was guilty and wanted to kill him to silence him. The person who was replaced was a member of Lord Zhao's clan. From now on, Lord Zhao should be suspended until the case is fully investigated. Little Lord Zhao is his son and is suspected of being an accomplice, so he should also be suspended to avoid suspicion."

This immediately angered Zhao Jian. He shouted angrily, "You are slandering me. What evidence do you have to prove that I killed someone to silence him?"

I just wanted to stop him from making excuses and causing public outrage. Look at the current situation, isn't it caused by their random shouting?

The most urgent task now is to execute these criminals on the spot to reassure the people. Lord Tong has repeatedly stopped the execution. Are you in cahoots with Su Jijing?"

Tong Zhongqian sneered, "Master Zhao, why are you being so unreasonable and unreasonable? You just didn't want the prisoner to speak out and cry out for justice, which angered the victims. I also think you deliberately angered the victims to force us to execute the sentence early so as to cover up the fact that you and the embezzler are in cahoots."

"you......"

Zhao Jian wanted to argue with Tong Zhongqian but was stopped by Master Yan. He said anxiously, "The two of you should stop arguing here. Master Tong, please don't be so serious. This is a critical moment. Let's control the current situation first."

The current number of imperial guards is insufficient, and they should be dispatched as soon as possible."

Tong Zhongqian: "Master Yan, it's not that I want to be serious at this moment, it's just that Master Zhao's behavior is really suspicious. He almost chopped Wu Bin to death just now.

He is deliberately exacerbating the conflict. The victims have doubts about the case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds. We should follow public opinion, re-investigate the case, and give the victims a true explanation.

Zhao Liangchen is the son of Lord Zhao and is also a suspect. What if the soldiers he mobilized deliberately killed the victims towards Lord Zhao and intensified the conflict, wouldn't that be adding fuel to the fire?

Therefore, I suggest that all suspects should be removed from the scene."

Master Yan was a little hesitant. He looked at Zhao Jian. He was also frightened by Zhao Jian's action of chopping Wu Bin. Although Wu Bin and others were prisoners who were supposed to be executed, there was a procedure for execution. Not everyone could chop anyone they wanted. Zhao Jian's behavior just now was indeed inappropriate.

He turned around and looked at the Imperial Guards who were almost overwhelmed and said embarrassmently: "But, we are short of manpower here. The Imperial Guards are suspected of evading. Who can stop the victims?"

Tong Zhongqian looked at the victims. They had already started to clash with the imperial guards. In order to ensure their safety, the victims basically carried weapons while fleeing.

Some, like Su Qin, held machetes, while others held hoes, rakes, kitchen knives, and wooden sticks.

At this time, the angry victims were attacking the Imperial Guards with all kinds of weapons. Zou Tai led the Imperial Guards in a difficult counterattack. Under normal circumstances, the victims were definitely no match for the Imperial Guards. Even if their numbers were several times greater, they would not be able to defeat the Imperial Guards.

But now the imperial guards were afraid of hurting the victims and exacerbating the conflict, so they mainly tried to avoid them and could only retreat step by step, watching the victims getting closer and closer to them.

Tong Zhongqian didn't want the victims to cause trouble, so he hesitated for a moment before saying to Grand Tutor Yan, "I'll go talk to the victims."

Master Yan was a little worried: "With so many disaster victims, how could they possibly listen to you? How are you going to talk to them?"
