Happy Little Scholar

Chu family.

"This, is this true..."

"Master, what should I do?"

"People's resentment is already boiling outside, he, they are coming here!"

…

Several old men were pacing in the hall with anxious expressions on their faces. Because of the "Miaoyin Pavilion Murder Case", the Chu family had been pushed to the forefront. Most of the children can still keep calm, but the ordinary people in Kyoto have lost trust in the Chu family and them.

Yesterday, a well-known scholar said something about the Marquis of Li County, "A sycophantic minister is harming the country." He was smashed in the head with a stone. His body was covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and he was in an extremely miserable state. When I returned home, even the courtyard wall had been knocked down.

The reason is that the source of this matter is still in the Chu family.

The Chu family succeeded in the hearts of the people, but also failed in the hearts of the people. He lost the hearts of the people, and the old man in front of him was just an ordinary old man.

Taifu Chu was sitting on a chair, his face was calm, and there was no expression on his face. He just stared at the door blankly, as if he was thinking, but his eyes were empty.

A servant of the Chu family ran in in a panic and shouted: "The people from the Criminal Department are here!"

Several detectives came in from the outside and slowly saluted the old man on the chair. The leader said: "Master Taifu, we suspect that your grandson is related to a serious case. We also invite Mr. Chu to come with us." Take a trip."

A middle-aged man rushed out from the side and said loudly: "You can take Ping'er away based on your suspicion?"

The detective took something out of his sleeve, handed it over, bowed and said, "Master Chu, this is the detention order from the Ministry of Justice. Please take a look at it."

The middle-aged man did not even look at the detention order, and said coldly: "I, a member of the Chu family, can be taken away just by the Ministry of Punishments. Without His Majesty's imperial edict, I don't think any of you would dare to act rashly in the Chu family! "

When the detective heard this, his face showed a bit of embarrassment.

This is the Chu family. The Chu family is different from other families. Taifu Chu is here. Even people from the Ministry of Punishment cannot be too presumptuous. Of course, if the Chu family is reasonable, things will naturally go smoothly. If they really insist, I am afraid they will still be in trouble. I have to ask Your Majesty to issue an order first.

The detective looked at him, bowed and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first."

After the arresters left, the middle-aged man quickly walked up to Master Chu and said loudly: "Father, do you want to watch them take Ping'er away?"

"Qin Wen is right. The change of dynasties and the rise and fall of families are all determined by heaven. No dynasty can last forever, and no family can last forever..." Taifu Chu got up from his chair with some effort and murmured. : "I am really old. When a person is old, he gets confused easily. He gets confused..."

"Father!"

"It's up to you to take care of this matter..."

Several detectives walked out of the Chu family's gate, but did not leave because there was an endless crowd blocking them in front of them.

"Where's Chu Ping?"

"Why didn't the beast come out?"

"Is it because the Chu family won't let him go?"

…

Before the detectives could answer, the crowd had already surged forward. When the Chu family's concierge saw the dark crowd approaching, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the door.

"Hand over Chu Ping!"

"Hand over the murderer!"

"Return to the innocence of both girls!"

"People inside, listen, you are surrounded, why don't you hand Chu Ping over quickly!"

…

Inside the Chu family, they heard loud shouts coming from outside, and even the ground beneath their feet was shaking. The faces of the several old men were pale, and they were extremely frightened.

With this voice and this formation, it is not difficult to imagine how many people are outside. Once the gate of the Chu family is breached, the entire Chu family will be razed to the ground.

In the Chu family ancestral hall, the old man with white hair and beard was kneeling on the futon, facing the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Chu family, with tears streaming down his face.

"Unworthy descendants... have brought shame to the ancestors of the Chu family!"

In the Kyoto County Government Office, Magistrate Liu, who was looking through the case files, was startled by the sound that echoed through Kyoto. He shivered unexpectedly and dropped the pen in his hand to the ground.

In the palace, Li Mingzhu put down the memorial, walked slowly outside the palace, and looked at the sky beyond the palace wall.

"How's the situation outside?" She seemed to be talking to herself.

A female official came over from the side and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the guards have been sent over. There won't be any trouble."

In the Furong Garden, Emperor Jing slowly opened his eyes on his sick bed. Chang De walked over and closed a window.

"Mr. Chu, it's a pity..."

Chang De narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "It would be a pity for him to die if he delays His Majesty's condition..."

In the Li family, Li Yi covered the little guy's ears to prevent him from being frightened by the sounds outside. When the first sound came from just now, he woke up the little guy who was taking a nap. He immediately cried loudly and finally coaxed him to sleep again. Even then, the sound outside actually continued.

His hands covered Li Duan's ears, but a little melancholy and pity appeared on his face...

At this moment, no matter what they were doing in or outside Kyoto, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky. Above the sky were birds fleeing in all directions.

"Hand over Chu Ping!"

"Hand over Chu Ping!"

…

Chu family.

The tightly closed door slowly opened. When everyone was about to rush in, they couldn't help but take a few steps back when they saw the old man with a cane in front of them. The deafening sound gradually subsided.

"All this is my fault."

Taifu Chu handed the cane to the servant beside him, slowly knelt down in front of everyone, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry for that girl, for the ancestors of the Chu family, and for the people of the world..."

"Grandpa, get up, this is not your fault."

After a sigh, a figure limped out of the crowd at the back, walked to Taifu Chu, carefully helped him up, smiled, and said: "Kneeling is not a good feeling. You are old, and kneeling like this will hurt your legs and feet."

Two servants of the Chu family hurriedly supported Taifu Chu.

Chu Ping didn't even look at the crowd outside the door who were talking. He slowly knelt down in front of Taifu Chu and kowtowed heavily.

"I didn't mean to kill Miss Shuangshuang..., but it's not important to say this now."

"You took me to so many places, so many landscapes, and so many people before. Thank you so much."

Chu Ping kowtowed again, and when he stood up, he said, "Everyone says that Kyoto is good. When I was outside, I always wanted to come back. When I came back, I found that Kyoto is actually the most boring place..."

"Thank you..., I'm sorry." He stood up, said something to Master Chu, turned around and faced the huge crowd outside the Chu family, and said loudly: "Everything I, Chu Ping, did was done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with the Chu family!"

Plop!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

He knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times to the crowd.

After three kowtows, no sound came. He knelt there, and there was no sound.

The constable closest to him seemed to have thought of something, stepped forward, and gently pushed him.

Chu Ping's body fell sideways, with a dagger stuck straight into his chest and blood staining his clothes red.
