Chapter 677: Let's Play This Way, Right?
"What's going on?" Qi Yushi asked loudly, confused and panicked.
Having a door knocked down in the middle of the night would scare anyone.
The knocking suddenly stopped again.
After a brief moment of calm, the housekeeper's anxious voice came.
He retreated all the way and yelled in panic: "Mrs. Qin, how can you break into other people's houses without permission? My family is all asleep. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow!"
"No, this matter is urgent and you must inform your Excellency immediately!"
Hearing the strange female voice coming from outside the courtyard, Qi Yushi and the attendant in the room looked at each other, "Who?"
The attendant shook his head, he didn't know either.
In just this moment, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
The housekeeper and two nurses held wooden sticks in their hands and stopped in front of Master Qi's room.
In front of them was Qin Yao, who was holding Wu Sheng who was tied up by Wu Huada.
She was a woman, and she was carrying someone in her hand, but the three of them couldn't stop her at all, and forced her to rush out of the door.
"Master Qi! I am your new neighbor. We have met once. You must still remember it, right?" Qin Yao asked loudly towards the door.
Qi Yushi was greatly shocked. She, a married woman, broke into her neighbor's house at night. How unbecoming she was!
The door opened with a creak. When the housekeeper saw his master, he opened his mouth to explain something. When he saw Qi Yu Shihei sternly waving his hand for them to leave, he sighed helplessly, and Qin Yao became even more angry.
He had to inform his wife, otherwise there would be many misunderstandings.
"Ms. Liu family?" Qi Yushi looked at Qin Yao who was holding Wu Sheng in her hand, and frowned so hard that she could kill a mosquito.
Qin Yao nodded, called Master Qi politely, pulled out the cloth from Wu Sheng's mouth, and told him in his ear:
"This is Mr. Qi, the supervisory censor. He has the responsibility of supervising all officials. This opportunity is rare. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
Wu Sheng's surprised eyes switched back and forth between Qin Yao and Qi Yushi. He quickly reacted and knelt down.
"Sir! Civilians and military students, if you have anything to report to your Excellency!"
As soon as Wu Sheng opened his mouth, Qi Yushi had a bad premonition and raised his hand to tell him to shut up. Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng had just eaten and was full of energy. He suddenly thought of Prince Dong Palace shielding Prince Feng, amassing money for personal gain and wasting human life. Things came out.
Qi Yushi was just shocked at first. After hearing half of it, he realized that it was not something he could hear, and wanted to cover his ears, but Wu Sheng's voice was like a bell, and he couldn't help but listen.
In the end, not only Qi Yushi heard it clearly, but also the rest of the Qi family who were hurriedly called by the housekeeper also listened to it.
Wu Sheng bowed deeply, his eyes were scarlet as if weeping blood, and he shouted hoarsely, "Please, sir, please make the decision for the common people!"
For a moment, the whole courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Mrs. Qi was the first to react. She glared at the servants around her and quickly dismissed them.
Soon, only Qi Yushi and his wife were left in the courtyard, as well as Qin Yao and Wu Sheng who was kneeling on the ground.
Mrs. Qi strode up, grabbed Qin Yao who had her back turned to her, gritted her teeth and asked angrily:
"What are you thinking about? It's just that I didn't go to your house for the housewarming party, but you actually took revenge on my Qi family like this. You woman have such a vicious heart!"
Qin Yao pulled out her hand, unable to control her strength. Mrs. Qi staggered as she threw her, and almost fell down.
Mrs. Qi looks to be in her thirties. This is the first time Qin Yao sees her. This lady doesn't leave the house or go to banquets on weekdays. It's really difficult to see her.
"Mrs. Qi's words are wrong. Although I, Qin Yao, are just a grassroots citizen, I also know that public affairs are public affairs and private affairs are private."
Qin Yao faced Qi Yushi who was standing at the door of the study room, trembling all over, whether it was anger or shock, and said loudly:
"It is the duty of the imperial censor to supervise all officials and impeach and remonstrate. Today, this martial artist was chased by gangsters and passed out in the back alley of our house. I thought he was some kind of thief, and I was about to arrest him and take him to the government office. , I didn’t expect him to reveal such a big thing.”
"It's about the Prince of the East Palace and Prince Feng. I, a common citizen, am so frightened that I come to the Censor to rectify the law for the people. Is there anything wrong?"
Qi Yushi took a deep breath, raised his hand to suppress the hesitant wife, and nodded to Qin Yao: "There is nothing wrong, this is indeed my responsibility."
"It's just..." Qi Yushi walked up to Wu Sheng, staring at him fiercely, "You Wu Sheng, do you know what you just said? It concerns the crown prince. If there is no proof, I will not do it." You can write a few words to the common people before writing to the Holy Spirit."
"If you don't get it right, both you and I will lose our heads!"
The latter words were said while looking at Qin Yao. There is a reminder.
He was just glad that everyone in the house was from his own family. As long as he kept silent about what happened tonight, everyone would be safe.
"Madam hasn't told the third person about this yet, has she?" Qi Yushi solemnly confirmed.
However, Qin Yao's reaction was not what he expected.
She suddenly smiled slightly, raised her hands to cover her ears, and made a 'listen' gesture outward.
Qi Yushi and Mrs. Qi subconsciously held their breath and listened to the street.
With the sound of gongs, someone knocked on the doors of various houses in Kuanzhengfang, shouting: "Catch the thief! Come out and take a look!"
"The thief dropped a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from his body. Come and see if you have anything you lost!"
The sound became louder and louder, spreading wider and wider. It was not yet time to fall asleep, and most people were still awake. When they heard the sound of the gong, they soon opened the door and ran out asking: "Where is the thief? Where is the thief?"
Someone pointed to the Qi Mansion: "It has been sent to the Censor's house. You guys, hurry up and claim your property!"
The faces of the couple of the Imperial Censor Qi changed drastically.
The housekeeper ran over and shouted: "My Lord, Madam, it's not good! Many people are coming to our house. My Lord, please go out and take a look. Even the block owner is here!"
There are more than 100 blocks in the capital. Each block elects a block owner to be in charge of the daily mediation of all matters in the block.
Except for the princes and princes who occupy a block in one mansion, there are 85 block owners in the remaining blocks.
These block owners are middle-aged and elderly men with more prestige in the block.
Even officials living in the block still have to give some face to the block owner when they meet him.
Listening to the noise outside, the whole Kuanzheng Block seemed to be awakened.
Wusheng looked back at Qin Yao standing behind him in astonishment, and suddenly felt that he was really lucky to meet her.
Perhaps he could really seek justice for the dead class owner and companions, instead of dying unjustly.
Qin Yao looked at the trembling Qi Yushi and his wife, "Now that things have come to this, I have a plan."
Qi Yushi raised his hand in fear: "I don't want to know, don't tell me, shut up!"
Qin Yao pressed his hand down, smiling kindly: "No, you want to know, because you heard it."
"I have a way that doesn't cost anyone their lives. We have already built up momentum. In fact, as long as you follow the law, hand over the thief Wusheng to the owner of the shop and send him to the Jingzhao government office."
