Chapter 157
Chapter 157: Heavenly Law and Evil Deeds
At dawn, the peddlers started pushing out their wooden carts. And also started occupying a good spot, one by one on the street.
These peddlers were selling soy milks, wonton, buns, porridge and many other more. Some of them also sell fruits and vegetables. So not long after, the spacious street suddenly become crowded.
And as soon as the aroma of soy milk engulfs the whole street, many more people and scholar students arrived. But this time, the scholar students didnt come out to discuss the life of a man, but to buy fruits and vegetables.
Today is like any ordinary days, the women were walking in the street with their basket. The people who recognized each other will say hello. While the others will pick a one or two fresh fruits to buy with their small amount of silvers. Or buy the bargain green onions.
Some wretched scholars sit on the greasy table and started talking about the glory of their ancestors. Although the exaggeration in their story is visible, there were still a lot of people who havent been out of the capital, so their eyes were full of amazement.
From time to time, the childrens laughter and crying sound could also be heard. The capital looks chaotic with all the noises, but in fact, every one of them follows the heavenly law. Ordinary people in the capital has long been accustomed to such a life. Because every day is the same and nothing much have changed in the city.
However, while everyone thinks that this day will be like the usual, an unexpected event happened
Quick, look, there are a lot of papers.
Who knows who suddenly shouts, but not long after, the crowd saw a dozen of papers falling from the sky like snowflakes. Some people started jumping to grab a piece
Paper is such a convenient thing, but it is very expensive. So, most people couldnt afford it. There were already written words in the papers, so they cannot use it anymore to write something. But, it doesnt matter, because they can still use it to pack some of their things or use it as toiletries.
So, someone people took the initiative to jumped up and grab some more. But, more and more papers fall over their head
Theres something written on it, but what does it mean ah? Some illiterate children who took the paper, tilt their head and look at each other.
Young Scholar, can you take a look and read it for us? A small street vendor took a piece of paper and respectfully ask the young scholar.
Seeing a lot of people were looking at him, and waiting for him to read it. The young scholar didnt check the content first and just proudly read the text: Provincial Governor Jiu Men likes young female girls. He keeps numerous young female girls in Yunan Temple outside the city. Right Prime Ministers young granddaughter was missing three years ago but was actually at Yunan Temple under Provincial Governor Jiu Meis custody, and arbitrary using her as his sex slave
After reading up on that part, the young scholar realized what was he is reading. And due to shock, he had a cold sweat. The young scholar no longer continue to read and immediately throw away the paper: Oh my mother! What the hell is this thing ah!
The young scholar doesnt mind losing money. So, right after he left the payment to his untouched food, he runs away very fast.
The people around him also notice what was wrong in it, so their face becomes as white as the paper. The paper on their hands seems had become a hot potato because they busily throw it out.
Oh, Im dead, I almost forgot the time, Ill go back later.
This is a heinous crime, hurry, lets go home immediately.
Im done selling for today, Ill send you your orders later, I have to go back now.
Whether it is the peddlers or the women with baskets. They grab their children at once and went home in a hurry. So, the crowded street immediately becomes deserted. Leaving the paper scattered on the ground.
However, the same event happened on several major streets in the capital. And aside from those streets, various restaurants and inns didnt become an exception. Especially, the place where most literate scholar students are present, so those incriminating evidence scattered everywhere

No matter what faction is, all the palace ministers wake up early in the morning. And so, right on the top of their table, they found several pages of evidence of their fellow government officials crime.
Nanan Province Administrative Leader, Viscount Wang, drink virgin females blood in the Taoist Temple; Provincial Governor Jiu Men keep numerous young female girls in Yunan Temple outside the city; General Zhen buried corpses in the sunflower garden.
Right Prime Ministers son killed a scholar out of jealousy; Left Prime Ministers Housekeeper destroyed a whole family for the sake of a piece of old jade.
General Chen used force to take his sister-in-law and cruelly killed innocent people; General Liu directly orders to encircle a village and destroyed it; General Zhous people in the city was crying due to poverty, but his house was covered with expensive bricks and has a lot of gold.
General Wans men secretly kill ordinary soldiers to improve their martial arts; General Hu, to keep his power, secretly collaborated to the enemys spies and planted a fake evidence to frame Shang Feng
Who would have thought that such evidence will show up and reveal the evil deeds of government officials.
And in addition to those evidence of heinous crimes, there was also evidence for romantic affairs. Such as Princess Fu Shouzhang was keeping her toy-boys in the Jin Garden.
At first, when they read the list of evidence of their fellow government officials heinous crimes, they didnt believe it. They thought someone was just deliberately bringing trouble to the court.
But, when a group of righteous officials took people to the Yunan Temple, they found skinny and abused young girls in a secret room to the underground. So, even if they dont want to believe it, they cant help but believe.
And also, in the secret room, there were almost two dozens of young female girls. Those girls were mostly fifteen years old, but the youngest was only eight. And once these young girls saw a man going near them, they shiver in fear right away.
Fortunately, these righteous officials are not unscrupulous. Because instead of enjoying the scene, they immediately take off their cloaks and cover their body. And they also look for a good place for them to stay.
In addition to Yunan Temple, there were also courageous officials, that rushed into General Zhous sunflower garden. The guards dug up the whole area.
In which, they found both men and womens corpse. Some corpse looks like were buried not long ago.
The Sunflower Garden is a place of calamity, the Yunan Temple is also a bad place to go. So next, a group of passionate officials, went and checked the Taoist Temple. And there, they found dozens of girls slaughtered for their blood.
Those girls have dozens of wounds in their wrist and body, so they look very pale.

When those dirty and inhumane sites were discovered, no one had dared to say that the paper that suddenly fell from the sky today was all nonsense.
The heaven wants us to open our eyes and punished the evil doers. An old man kneeled on the ground and kowtow in front of the palace.
My son!, My son!
My child, mother was wrong. Mother shouldnt have sold you. Mother shouldnt have accepted those few silvers.

The victims families cried and kneel in front of the Government Officials Residence. Hoping for them to be fair and seek justice for their dead children.
Various scholar students from all over the capital had gathered and joined the plea. They plea to the emperor to severely punish the murderers.
And when these famous scholar students of Confucius bitterly plea, the government officials could no longer do anything.
However, an hour before, when the news was still spreading throughout the capital, the emperor wanted to cover it, but he couldnt
