Chapter 505: A large crowd of spectators
The time had not yet arrived, but there were already crowds of people outside the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, and the east and west streets were completely blocked!
Many people in the crowd were holding buns, steamed bread, and pancakes in their hands, eating and chewing them with big mouthfuls, while taking a break from their busy schedules to chat animatedly with the people around them, whether they knew them or not...
It was obvious at first glance that these people were afraid of arriving too late and missing the excitement, so they didn't even have a good lunch at home, but grabbed some dry food and ran to the outside of the Shuntian government office.
The main hall of Shuntian Prefecture Yamen.
Zheng Tong, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was filled with helplessness when listening to the reports from his subordinates.
Zheng Tong raised his hand and pinched his brows, thinking, how can this be a trial at the Shuntian Prefecture government office?
No matter where else, the community operas and temple fairs are, they are not so lively and attract so many people, right?
The two cases today were both easy to try;
It's not a good review...
Ugh!
Zheng Tong pinched his eyebrows again, feeling so stressed!
Just now, he received a message from the palace saying that the Emperor, the Empress and His Royal Highness Prince Yu would also come in disguise to attend the trial.
My Shuntian Prefecture government office is just a small temple, how can it accommodate the three great gods?
With these three great gods around, how dare a little kid like me speak loudly?
I am just a small governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
Just try the case, trying cases is a common occurrence.
But...there are these three people in the hall...
Ugh!
But there is no way.
Since this is the job I was assigned to do, I have no choice but to do it anyway.
But then again, fortunately, I have always judged cases impartially and have never been corrupt or abused my power, so naturally I don't have to be timid or guilty.
Besides, the facts of the two cases today are very clear;
The public trial today is only to make all the truth known to the world and let the evildoers receive the punishment they deserve.
Thinking of this, Zheng Tong felt a little relieved.
At the same time, comfort yourself in your heart:
You might as well just keep a normal mind and treat these two cases as ordinary cases!
The Emperor, the Empress, and Prince Yu are here...
Uh... it's coming...
Just treat them as a few of the people who came to the trial.
I think so, I say so...
But...if we really wait for those three great gods to come...
Those three really sat there...
Ugh!
Just thinking about it makes my head ache!
By then, I hope I can really stay focused and remain calm.
Shaking his head vigorously, Zheng Tong forced himself to calm down.
He turned around and called over a few of his men, and said, "You guys, place a screen on one side of the hall;
Behind the screen there is a table and three large chairs.
Several men heard this and were about to bow in response when they heard Zheng Tong continue, "The tables and chairs must be wiped clean carefully, without any mistakes!"
"As you command, my lord!"
Several men bowed again in response and immediately did what Zheng Tong ordered.
It didn't take much effort to put the screen, table and chairs in place.
Zheng Tong had just returned to his desk and sat down, wanting to take another look at the file.
Suddenly I thought of...
I just heard from my subordinates that the gate is blocked by the crowds of people coming to watch the trial!
The Emperor, the Empress and Prince Yu will be arriving soon. How will they get into the Shuntian government office?
Also, how can people from the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion get in?
Thinking of this, Zheng Tong called the head of the police Cheng Xuan and several officers over.
"When the time is approaching, the rest of you should go to the gate and make sure to clear a passage so that the plaintiffs in this case can enter smoothly.
Remember, you must persuade the onlookers with kind words and patiently guide them;
Don't be rude or reckless and cause a riot!
Have you written it all down?"
"As you command, my lord!"
Cheng Xuan and several policemen agreed, but... even the head of the police, Cheng Xuan, felt a little embarrassed...
No, it's really difficult.
Cheng Xuan thought to himself: There are so many people outside the gate now!
It is not easy to clear a path for the plaintiffs, that is, the carriages and people from the Anguo Mansion, to come in!
Cheng Xuan thought about it and decided to take people out to make preparations now!
Say hello to the people outside first so that they can make way when the time comes.
Just do it if you think of it.
At this time, the gate of Shuntian Prefecture was still tightly closed.
Cheng Xuan, along with several of his men, opened the side door and left the Shuntian government office.
As soon as they walked out of the side door, Cheng Xuan and his companions were shocked by the huge crowd in front of the door...
God!
This person... there are too many of them!
more!
It's already so crowded that there's no room for movement!
I want the crowd to make way for a while...
This is nothing but a fool's dream!
Cheng Xuan, along with four runners, followed the base of the outer wall of the Shuntian government office and finally arrived at the main gate of Shuntian government office.
Cheng Xuan glanced around...
He saw two half-grown children not far to the east who were obviously taller than the people around them...
Cheng Xuan suddenly remembered that there was a horse-mounting stone in that place.
That mounting stone saved Cheng Xuan's life!
Cheng Xuan squeezed through with great effort.
He first coaxed the two children down, and then stood up himself.
Standing on the mounting stone and looking around from a high vantage point, your vision suddenly becomes broader!
However, his vision was broadened and Cheng Xuan was even more surprised!
