"Grand Duke, bad news! Bad news! "
Half an hour ago, Cui Manor.
Old housekeeper Wang Yong held a few pieces of paper and hurried towards Cui Junchuo's room in the East courtyard. After Cui Junchuo let him in, he hurriedly said.
"What is it now?"
Cui Junchuo did not sleep well last night. When the sky was about to brighten, he barely managed to take a short nap. Now that his sleep was disturbed, he was a little annoyed.
Wang Yong said, "Grand Duke! Bad news! When the servants woke up this morning, they found that there were papers everywhere in the manor! And not only our manor, other families also have them! "
Cui Junchuo frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "It's just a few pieces of paper, how can it make you so flustered?"
"Grand Duke! This paper is Wan Jingang's confession! "
The old housekeeper's voice had a sobbing and sorrowful tone.
Confession!!
These three words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Cui Junchuo until he could not find north!
"Wan Jingang confessed? How is this possible? He has not been sent to the Supreme Court and the Right Marquis Manor does not have the authority to interrogate him. Could it be that he confessed without being pressed? "
Cui Junchuo stared and said in disbelief.
It was just that he probably didn't expect that his unintentional guess was already close to the truth. Wan Jingang was more or less "confessing without being pressed".
"Grand Duke, I received news this morning that Mei Lian was captured in the Right Marquis Manor last night but he chose to commit suicide. This old servant guessed that Wan Jingang might have known that Chi Li and Mei Lian tried to assassinate him last night so he revealed the truth to the Right Marquis Manor! "
The old housekeeper cupped his hands and said.
"Suicide?"
Cui Junchuo's eyebrows jumped and he rejoiced. But when he thought of the confession from the housekeeper, his mood instantly turned bad, "Show me that confession!"
"Yes!"
Taking the confession from the old housekeeper, Cui Junchuo frowned and looked at it carefully. After a while, he angrily snorted, "Good Wan Jingang! I really hate that I recruited this ingrate into the Cui Family!! "
The old housekeeper carefully said, "Grand Duke, now that the confession is everywhere, this old servant is worried that as more and more people read the confession, there will definitely be many people coming to the Cui Manor to cause trouble! Furthermore, there would definitely be officials in the imperial court who would impeach the Cui family! You should have made plans earlier! "
Hearing this, Cui Junchuo's expression changed. If the old butler could think of it, how could he not? However, the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the Cui Family. It could be said that the current situation was worse than the worst that he had expected! He didn't expect Wan Jingang to confess so quickly. He also didn't expect Li Zexuan to make a move on the Cui family so quickly. He also didn't expect Li Zexuan to use such a method!
This was forcing the Emperor to destroy the Cui Family!!
After a long time, Cui Junchuo let out a long sigh.
"Yes, yes! What should he do now? The public was furious, and the officials in the imperial court were eyeing the Cui Family like a tiger watching its prey. The Cui Family was facing a great calamity, and they could only do their best to reduce the Cui Family's losses! As long as we can leave behind a bloodline, the Cui Clan will definitely rise again! "
The old housekeeper was shocked. He had never seen Cui Junchuo so dispirited. He hurriedly said, "Grand Duke, why don't you and Madam leave Chang 'an before the imperial edict is issued? After returning to Zhengzhou, you will be sick at home. I don't think the Emperor will make things difficult for you! Once the storm is over, you will be safe and sound! "
"Hand over the Wang Family! Hand over the murderer! "
"Hand over the Wang Family! Hand over the murderer! "
"Hand over the Wang Family! Hand over the murderer! "
Cui Junchuo was very tempted by the old housekeeper's words. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the Cui Family's gate. Judging by the sound, there should be hundreds of people!
"Grand Duke! Something bad happened! Something bad happened! There are many scholars and common people at the gate! "
A servant ran over in a panic and shouted as he ran.
"Grand Duke! It seems that the common people have already heard the news. You and Madam should leave from the back door! "
The old housekeeper's expression changed as he hurriedly advised.
"Sigh! We can't leave! Now the Cui Family's reputation has been ruined, and we have completely become a target of scorn. I guess we will be surrounded by the common people before we can even see the gate of Chang 'an! Wang Yong! Come with me to take a look! "
Cui Junchuo sighed deeply and shook his head.
"… Yes, Grand Duke!"
…
"Confession letter? Bastard! Damn Wan Jingang! Damn a group of unruly people! "
In the backyard, Madam Wang, who had just woken up, couldn't help but fly into a rage when she heard about the confession letter and the common people at the gate!
The servants were afraid and didn't dare to look at her. They didn't say a word.
"Sun Xiang! Quick! Bring people to the ten-mile slope outside the city and dig out that bitch's body and feed it to the dogs! Otherwise, when the imperial court finds out, they will definitely use that bitch to punish me! "
Suddenly, Madam Wang screamed crazily.
"… Yes! Madam! "
The servants in the house hesitated for a moment, but still followed the order and left.
The rest of the servants suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. To meet such a vicious and merciless master, it was really a kind of tragedy!
…
"Hand over Madam Wang! Hand over the murderer! "
"Hand over Madam Wang! Hand over the murderer! "
Outside the Cui Mansion, there were more than a few hundred people, almost a thousand. The angry common people, led by the students of Yanhuang College, shouted in unison.
That morning, the students of the academy came from Cloud Mountain. They planned to gather at the Warm Tang Foundation as usual and continue their charity work. However, when they entered the city, they couldn't help but see the confession papers that were strewn all over the city!
Out of curiosity, many students went to pick one up.
After reading the content, the six hundred plus students of the academy were all enraged without exception!
They were doing good deeds every day, but there were people in the city who were doing evil deeds that were devoid of conscience and humanity? How could they tolerate this?
Under the shouts of Li Tai, Cheng Chumo, and the other students who hated evil, more than six hundred people shouted the slogan "Hand over Madam Wang, hand over the murderer" and directly "killed" from Yanxing Gate in the east of Chang 'an City to Dunhua Square in the southeast of the city!
Most of the common people along the way had seen Wan Jingang's confession letter. Some of them wanted to cause trouble at the Cui Mansion, but they were afraid that they would be killed by the Cui Mansion's guards like the troublemakers two days ago. They were full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. Now that they heard the students' slogans, how could they endure it? They all joined the army of "anti-Cui"!
When they arrived at the Cui Mansion, the original group of six hundred people had become more than three thousand people!
Other common people in Chang 'an City were also rushing here after hearing the news!
The crowd was increasing!
The voices were getting louder!
The anger was also getting stronger!
It all depended on whether the Cui Mansion could withstand the anger of the common people!
