Gao Yunhe suppressed the people with force in advance, and prevented Jiang Ziliu from contacting them. Everything went smoothly, but he never thought that someone would come out of nowhere, gain the trust of the people, and help Jiang Ziliu make connections.

These foolish people would never dare to take such a risk to gather together, there must be someone instigating it.But Gao Yunhe stared at Jiang Ziliu, obviously he hadn't seen him do anything, but where did someone collude with him?

With so many people, one sentence per person is enough to explain everything clearly. As long as the people identify him, then no one can escape, and all his previous efforts are in vain.

Gao Yunhe only felt his head buzzing, but he was still not reconciled. After he got off his horse, he subconsciously yelled, "Come on! Get rid of these rioters!"

Although the soldiers behind him hesitated, they still drew their swords and wanted to approach the people.At this time, Jiang Ziliu looked at Gao Yunhe quietly, and all the soldiers around him also drew their swords, and confronted the people brought by Gao Yunhe.

Jiang Ziliu chuckled, "I'm here, who dares to move?"

Gao Yunhe's face changed, "Jiang Ziliu, although you are an imperial envoy, this Yucheng is not a place for you to do whatever you want. What is your intention in protecting these disorderly people?"

Jiang Ziliu looked at him with great interest, "Oh? Chaotic people? Mr. Gao knew they were riotous people before he had contact with the people? I want to ask, where is the chaos?"

"It's nothing to gather, according to the regulations of our dynasty, if there are more than a thousand people, there is suspicion of treason, so what's wrong with me dispersing them?" Gao Yunhe said coldly.

The common people couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "We are here to avenge our grievances! We didn't gather for nothing!"

"Yes! We are redressing grievances, my lord, you must decide for us!"

Gao Yunhe scolded angrily again, "If you seek justice, you can beat the drums and complain, but you didn't gather here to make trouble. Did I say something wrong?!"

Gao Yunhe has accumulated prestige for a long time, such reprimands immediately silenced some people, but when he thought that they had already reached this point and there was no turning back, he immediately retorted loudly, "Is it useful to beat the drums? We still have to do this ?!"

"Yes! Aren't all government offices controlled by corrupt officials like you, otherwise why should we?!"

"Corrupt official! It's you!"

The shouts of thousands of people made Gao Yunhe's face turn pale.

Jiang Ziliu was still looking at Gao Yunhe. He raised his hand, and the official uniform slipped off, revealing a large section of slender arm, which seemed to be shining in the sun.Seeing his hand gestures, the people's shouts slowly stopped.

Jiang Ziliu said word by word: "If there is any grievance, I will decide for you one by one."

Gao Yunhe gasped, and was about to speak when Jiang Ziliu shouted, "Open the city gate!"

Gao Yunhe scolded angrily, "Don't open it!"

Jiang Ziliu's momentum was astonishing, he took a step forward, and raised his voice again, "My officer said, let's go!"

The soldiers accompanying him also took a step forward with fierce faces, and the soldiers behind Gao Yunhe shrank.

There was a commotion at the city gate, and then the city gate slowly opened.There was a clumsy creaking sound, and Gao Yunhe turned his head in panic, only to see the governor and the leader of the city gate open the city gate.

Gao Yunhe was about to burst into tears, "You bastard! You actually betrayed me!"

Du Youyan smiled at Gao Yunhe, but didn't answer.

Thousands of people rushed into Yucheng together, and other people in Yucheng watched curiously. After understanding the situation, many people followed behind. With so many people, it seemed that the entire city The city seems to be full.

Jiang Ziliu walked into the government office and sat at the top, with a plaque hanging above his head, which made him even more majestic.Of course Gao Yunhe didn't want to leave just like that, so he sat under Jiang Ziliu and listened.

Jiang Ziliu knocked on the gavel and said, "Bring someone in."

"I'll come, I'll come first."

"I come."

Several people argued for a while, and finally a person came in, and knelt down with a plop, "My lord, the little one is wronged!"

The book office at the side has already picked up a pen, ready to record what the people said.Jiang Ziliu asked in a calm voice, "What grievances do you have, tell me."

"My lord, my little one, two years ago, I sold some wild game with my sister in Yucheng, but I didn't want the son of the butler in Mr. Gao's mansion to use his power to snatch my sister away, and then he... He defiled my sister Innocent! My sister threw herself into a well the next day when she came home!"

The man cried sadly, "My lord, my sister is 15 years old! She is already engaged, but I don't want to encounter this kind of thing! I beg your lord to make decisions for the grassroots!"

Gao Yunhe snorted heavily, "Did you say you are my servant?! Do you have evidence?!"

"Yes, yes, Er Gouzi from my hometown can testify!"

"You fellow villagers are simply colluding and pouring dirty water on this official. There are countless witnesses like this. Slandering the imperial court official, this official sees that you are impatient to live. Come here and beat him [-] times!"

Seeing that he was being blocked back again, the man shouted in dismay, "I didn't slander you! That's it, dog officer! If you hadn't indulged your subordinates, how could my sister have been murdered like this?!"

Gao Yunhe was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Presumptuous!"

Jiang Ziliu patted the gavel, "No noise in the courtroom!"

Jiang Ziliu glanced coldly at Gao Yunhe, "Master Gao, as an official of the imperial court, you must lead by example."

Gao Yunhe snorted heavily angrily, Jiang Ziliu looked at the kneeling people and asked, "Is there anyone else to testify for you?"

The man was silent, and the people outside were also talking in low voices. Suddenly, a commoner squeezed out from inside and shouted, "I can testify! I was selling straw sandals next to him that day, and I saw it with my own eyes!"

Gao Yunhe spoke again, "How do you know that he is from my Gaofu?!"

"He said it himself. He said his father was the steward of the sheriff. Are there any other sheriffs in Yucheng?"

Jiang Ziliu nodded, and took a deep look at Gao Yunhe, "I've made a note of this matter, so I will step back first. In the past two days, I will definitely give you an explanation."

The man was overjoyed, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"next."

"I come!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Gao Yunhe's face became paler and paler as the common people went to the court one by one. When other officials heard the news, they hurried over, and some of them went to the court. Almost fell to the ground.

"Master Liu, the prefect of the county, allowed his son to rob Cao Min's family of good land. That was the only thing my family left to Cao Min. It was all robbed!" This is a man with a face full of weather.

"Master Changshi Zhang passed by Cao Min's house, and he snatched Cao Min's little daughter home and became his aunt. I have pity on my daughter. After being snatched away, she only lived for one year and died..." This is An old man with tears in his eyes.

"Xiaosheng doesn't understand why the tax is so heavy. The tax is increasing year by year. When did the court issue such a tax?" This is the skinny Tongsheng.

"The father of the folk daughter was beaten to death alive..."

One lawsuit after another is like a series of wounds that have been uncovered, full of scars.

Jiang Ziliu's expression became more and more dignified, and the whole Yucheng also became more and more dignified.The crying came from an unknown corner, and it seemed to be contagious immediately, causing all the people to kneel down.

"Adults are in charge of us!"

This day is destined to be written into the history books, and it is called the Yucheng Rebellion.

Things have come to this point, no matter how much the officials of Yucheng talk about it, there is no way to get it back.

Jiang Ziliu interrogated him day and night, and it took two days and two nights just to record it. Everyone was unshaven and haggard.It's just that the common people are very excited, and the people headed by Gao Yunhe have lost all their vitality.

The book office changed several people in succession, and their wrists were almost swollen.

After the last commoner finished speaking, Jiang Ziliu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Gao Yunhe and the others, and shouted, "Come on! Take Gao Yunhe, Liu Yang, Zhang Hui..."

Jiang Ziliu reported a long list of names, all of whom were domineering officials in Yucheng, "Go through customs and go to prison!"

"Yes!"

The common people cheered loudly, and everyone wept with joy, "Master Qingtian! Master Qingtian!"

"The gates of the city are guarded by me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Yes!"

After leaving the court, Jiang Ziliu immediately took up a pen and wrote down the matter, and sent someone to rush back to Qicheng.

To dredge the people, dispatch officials to Yucheng, and investigate the evil deeds of Gao Yunhe and others, everything is urgent, and he must ask the imperial court for support.

When Chu Yuchen saw the memorial, he laughed angrily.Regardless of whether it is not the time to go to court, he directly ordered to go to court again.

Upon hearing this, the ministers knew that something had happened, and when they rushed to the palace tremblingly, many of them had their official hats crooked, and there was no time to tidy up their appearance, so they looked at each other with a heavy heart.

Chu Yuchen held the notebook handed over by Jiang Ziliu in his hand, and stepped on the throne amidst the fear of all the officials.

"See Your Majesty."

Chu Yuchen didn't even bother to pay attention to them, so he casually threw the memorial in his hand on the ground and said, "Mr. Liu, read it to everyone."

Xiao Kezi quickly picked up the memorial, walked down the stairs and handed it to Liu Feiran.Liu Feiran took it respectfully, opened it, took a look at it, and his face became extremely ugly.She raised her eyes and circled the ministers, and said slowly, "Chenjiang flowed by itself, and was sent to Yucheng by His Majesty's order to check the blood books of Wanmin. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

"October 150th, the people gathered in Yucheng, [-] people, and sued Gao Yunhe, the prefect of Yucheng, Liu Yang, the prefect of Yucheng, and other officials for illegally increasing taxes, robbing civilian women, indiscriminately killing innocent people, and occupying people's fields. The minister read The matter is of great importance, and the relevant persons have been taken into custody. Yucheng is now empty, and I hope His Majesty will dispatch officials to assist the ministers and appease the people."

Changhong Palace was silent.

Chu Yuchen looked at them coldly, and after a while, he snorted coldly, "Didn't you all be very enthusiastic when Jiang Ziliu was impeached? Why are you silent now?"

Liu Feiran sighed softly, knelt down and blamed himself, and said: "I failed to notice this matter in time and made a big mistake. I am guilty."

All the officials knelt down one after another, "The ministers have failed in their duties."

Chu Yuchen's indifferent voice came down lightly, "I think this imperial court needs to be cleaned up."

After saying that, Chu Yuchen shook his sleeves and left, leaving all the courtiers sweating and terrified.Your Majesty's last words... what do you mean?
