Chapter 574: Punching Zhou Hanlin to Death
Chapter 574 Beat Zhou Hanlin to death with random punches
One mouthful at a time, how can we, the scholars,
Each of them is just a lowly craftsman and a commoner.
Zhou Jie is too proud. He is a scholar, a member of the Imperial Academy, and is considered a literary star. Wherever he goes, he is not flattered and humbled by others?
Be it farmers, businessmen, or local officials, who would not nod and bow down when meeting him and say "Zhou Hanlin"?
He is a Beijing official and a Hanlin official!
But his eyes were raised too high, and he could only see the six ministries and the cabinet, but he could not see the living beings at the bottom, the farmers and common people whom he disdainfully mentioned.
Now, when surrounded by the common people he looked down upon, Zhou Jie was still unwilling to bow his head. He still called himself an "untouchable", as if he should be superior and these common people should kneel in front of him.
"Kill this bitch who dares to hit Bachelor Wang!"
I don't know who shouted, and the people who had already suppressed their anger could no longer bear to rush forward. The young man who had just been crying for his mother who passed away due to the disaster took the lead and rushed to the front, watching.
The Hanlin dog officer in front of him, whose chin was almost raised to the sky, kicked Zhou Jie to the ground with a flying kick.
The situation of this kick is very similar to Zhou Jie's previous attack on Wang Lichen, a craftsman by virtue of his status as a Hanlin scholar?
This moment is just like that moment!
Following the shouts of "beat the dog officer to death", the common people stepped forward one after another and used fists and kicks. In a short time, the aloof Zhou Hanlin was beaten by the angry common people and could only curl up in a ball on the ground and wailed.
"Kill this bitch!"
"This dog officer doesn't want us to be fed, and we won't let him live either!"
"How dare you beat Immortal Wang? Beat this monster to death!"
"Fathers and fellow villagers, we cannot let this traitor go!"
"."
After a burst of punches and kicks, Zhou Jie was beaten until his eyes were filled with stars, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his vision gradually blurred. He was wailing and moaning, and Zhou Jie's voice became weaker and weaker until he lost his voice.
Whether they were Hanlin bachelors or old scholars, they could only watch as the surging crowd surrounded Zhou Jie. Zhou Jie only screamed a few times before being drowned out by the angry shouts and curses of the crowd. Thousands of people surrounded Zhou Jie.
Jie was surrounded by people, and they couldn't even see what was going on inside, but they all knew that Zhou Jie was dead!
The anger of the common people burst out, and these Hanlins, who usually described themselves as "untouchables" and "ignorant people", realized how terrifying the power contained in these seemingly honest and submissive mud-legged people.
"Mob! Mob!"
An old scholar pulled his beard and turned pale. How dare these untouchables beat up scholars?!
The rest of Hanlin were also frightened, and asked them to rescue Zhou Jie. They were definitely not willing to die, but they were still unwilling to admit their mistakes, and continued to insist:
"Rebellion, rebellion, how dare these mud-legged people attack scholars?! The country is about to perish, the country is about to perish!"
"When did it become the turn of the people to teach the officials? Scholars being treated so harshly is a sign of chaos in the world!"
"Your Majesty, please tell these mobs to stop immediately. Zhou Hanlin is going to be beaten to death!"
"Your Majesty, how can there be any reason in this world for farmers to take action against scholars? They are going to rebel!"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneered when he looked at these so-called "court loyalists" and "national sages": "Aren't you talking about things without blaming others?"
"And didn't you say it was an act of righteous indignation?"
"In my opinion, what you said makes sense. The law does not punish everyone. With so many people standing opposite you, you still dare to say that you are not wrong?"
An old scholar couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty!"
"I am dedicated to serving the country, how can you treat us scholars like this!"
"No matter how he is not Zhou Hanlin, he is still a scholar. It is said that the courtesy cannot be treated as common people and the punishment cannot be treated as high as a doctor. Even if you want to punish Zhou Hanlin, just give him a court battle. These farmers are rude and rude, and Zhou Hanlin will be beaten alive by them.
Die!"
The other Hanlins also pleaded for Zhou Jie: "Your Majesty, you can't just watch Zhou Hanlin be beaten to death by these mud-legged people!"
"You are trying to shun yourself as a scholar in the world!"
Seeing these Hanlins kneeling on the ground and crying, Zhu Youxiao was very irritated by their crying. Zhang Haogu looked at the crowd, confirmed that the crowd had shown signs of dispersing, and said in time: "Your Majesty, since the Hanlins
, I beg you so hard, why not just let the people disperse."
"I think the people's anger has dissipated. In this case, it's better to forgive Zhou Hanlin once."
A group of Hanlin officials looked at Zhang Haogu in surprise. This traitor could actually speak for them?
The old scholar breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Zhang Haogu was cruel and brutal, he was still a scholar after all. He was the top scorer in the scientific examination, and he still knew where his butt should sit.
Zhu Youxiao also listened to Zhang Haogu's suggestion and said casually: "Since the master said so, let him go."
The officials quickly ordered the Jin Yiwei to go up and rescue people: "Quick, quick, quick, disperse the mob!"
"Zhou Hanlin, Zhou Hanlin, we are here to save you!"
However, when the people dispersed and the Hanlin soldiers ran to Zhou Jie crying, Zhou Jie had already been beaten to the point of being reduced to a human form, and the Hanlin Hanlin's clothes were scratched into pieces by the angry people.
"Zhou Hanlin?"
"Zhou Hanlin?!"
Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand tremblingly to test Zhou Jie's breathing, and finally cried and said to the Hanlin around him: "Zhou Hanlin was beaten to death by those mobs!"
"What?!"
The faces of the officials turned pale instantly, and the eyes they looked at each other were full of sympathy and sorrow. The rabbit was dead and the fox was sad. Today Zhou Jie was beaten to death by the mob driven by the Dog Emperor. Will it be their turn tomorrow?
"Your Majesty! Please punish these thugs severely. Zhou Hanlin died unjustly!"
"Your Majesty, these lawless mobs beat Zhou Hanlin to death alive, and they must be buried with Zhou Hanlin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, let these mobsters be buried with Zhou Hanlin!"
"These idiots who dare to kill officials today will dare to rebel tomorrow. Your Majesty must deal with these mobs quickly to shock Xiao Xiao's heart!"
A group of Hanlins knelt on the ground and cried and shouted, making Zhu Youxiao very upset.
The dignified Hanlin of the Ming Dynasty spent all day long besides drinking and having fun, escorting prostitutes and gambling, criticizing the government, and crying, crying, crying!
Do these Hanlins do anything else besides cry?
At this time, Zhang Haogu stepped forward and took a look, confirming that Zhou Jie was really beaten to death by the common people, and said with a smile: "Fellow Hanlin, in accordance with the wishes of this pavilion, it is better to end this matter."
"The imperial court will not hold Zhou Hanlin accountable for beating up Bachelor Wang, nor will it hold the common people accountable. After all, the law does not hold everyone accountable."
