Someone wanted to put out the fire, but he was kicked out by Jiang Wu.
This was a fire set by His Majesty. Without His Majesty's permission, no one could put it out.
Zhu Yunwen stood by the railing and leisurely watched the people fleeing in panic. Many men and women were naked and exposed. Some young masters were calm and looked in the direction of the fire. They nodded, probably thinking about what poem was suitable.
There's actually an old man? Damn it, you're already in this state, and you're still out having fun?
Aren't you afraid of coming in standing and going out lying down?
In the room behind him, the bed was on fire.
Zhan Qingtan hugged the wooden box and stood beside Zhu Yunwen. From the initial shock and astonishment to the current calmness, she had nothing to worry about.
It was good to burn it.
This place only gave him shame and no beauty.
"You'd better leave. This is the Education Bureau. Once someone comes to investigate, you'll suffer.”
Zhan Qingtan said worriedly.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhan Qingtan and said calmly,"Then let them come."
Zhan Qingtan didn't know Zhu Yunwen's identity, but seeing that he was so confident, she didn't say anything more. When she looked down, she saw a fat middle-aged man running over with a group of people. Seeing the burning room, he kicked the woman who wanted to run out and shouted,"Who dares to run! Get some water and put out the fire!"
"Not good, Cheng Fengluan is here.”Zhan Qingtan was shocked and quickly said. Zhu Yunwen looked back at the fire and estimated that it would take a while before it could reach the next door. The people around had dispersed and no one was hurt, so she was relieved.
Feng Luan, a ninth grade official, the seal officer of the Education Department.
Cheng Fengluan led his men upstairs angrily. A servant pointed at Jiang Wu and said,""He won't let us put out the fire."
"How dare you! This is the Education Department, the land of the officials. How can you be presumptuous! Tie him up!" Cheng Fengluan shouted sternly.
Zhu Yunwen pulled Zhan Qingtan back and said to Jiang Wu,"I heard that your martial arts are not bad. Let's see what you can do today?”
Jiang Wu's mouth twitched. He thought,'My emperor, I'm a soldier. Isn't it too demeaning for you to ask me to deal with these hoodlums?' But there was nothing he could do. What else could he do if His Majesty had spoken?
Reality proved that part-time fighters were no match for professional fighters.
After Jiang Wu's beating, more than a dozen people were already lying on the ground wailing.
Cheng Fengluan's forehead was sweating. He gritted his teeth and shouted,""Even if you have some martial arts, can you escape the law? I will report to His Majesty and bring you to justice!”
"Wait until your report is delivered to His Majesty.”
Jiang Wu rubbed his fists. He was not satisfied.
"Alright, the fire has started. Don't play with him anymore. Cheng Fengluan, right? Bring as many people as there are in the Department of Education to the Ministry of Rites. If one of them is missing, your skin will be hung outside the Meridian Gate!”
Zhu Yunwen walked to the stairs and turned back to Zhan Qingtan, who was still standing there, and shouted,"Let's go. What are you waiting for?"
Zhan Qingtan quickly followed.
Cheng Fengluan looked at the token of the Ming Security Bureau in Jiang Wu's hand and felt a chill down his spine. Especially when he heard Jiang Wu introduce himself, Cheng Fengluan would have wasted his time if he couldn't guess that the person just now was His Majesty.
"Let's get to work."
After Jiang Wu finished speaking, he followed.
Jiang An also ran over. After Zhu Yunwen gave some instructions, Jiang An returned to Cheng Fengluan's side and said,"You can put out the fire."
Trembling, Cheng Fengluan kicked the servant beside him and shouted,""What are you waiting for? Put out the fire and evacuate the people!”
After burning a few houses, the fire was finally put out.
Cheng Fengluan didn't care about these things, but he was afraid of the next task. He arranged for a group of people to call out all the young and old of the Education Department and form a team to go to the Ministry of Rites.
Nearly 8,000 people! The mighty procession had alerted West Chang 'an Street. The Nanjing Garrison and the Military Governor's Office of the Five Armies had heard the commotion and were on alert.
Xu Huizu hurriedly entered the palace. Before he even entered the Gate of Heaven Influence, he saw a few people leisurely walking over on the street. He took a closer look and thought, Oh my god, isn't this His Majesty? "Your Majesty? What, what's going on?"
Xu Huizu quickly went forward to welcome him and arranged for soldiers to protect the Emperor.
Zhu Yunwen waved her hand and said,"Don't be so nervous. No one will harm me." Let me introduce you. This is Zhan Qingtan. Jiang An, gather everyone from the Ministry of Rites. We'll be working overnight. If we can't finish it, no one can go home and sleep!”
Xu Huizu stared at Zhan Qingtan and cupped his hands.
Zhan Qingtan was a little numb. Looking at Zhu Yunwen's smiling face, she swallowed her saliva and quickly knelt down, shouting,"Zhan Qingtan greets Your Majesty."
Zhu Yunwen helped Zhan Qingtan up and looked behind her. The people from the Education Bureau were walking over. However, looking at the tense atmosphere, they were probably worried about the future.
"I don't like hell on earth."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and opened the green sandalwood. She said to Xu Huizu,"Arrange for people to maintain order. Get everyone to stand in ten lines. The head of the line will be outside the gate of the Ministry of Rites.”
Xu Huizu agreed and arranged for people to maintain order.
The woman didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the soldiers, some of the more timid ones began to cry. After a while, however, she realized that the soldiers weren't causing any trouble. They were just standing there, maintaining order, and she felt at ease.
Minister of Rites Wang Jin, Left Assistant Minister Chen Fuchu, Assistant Minister Huang Kan, and the others had already received the edict and hurried out to welcome them. The other departments also heard the commotion and went out to investigate. When they saw that the Emperor was here, they all knelt down.
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the gate of the Ministry of Rites and said,"Set up ten tables here and prepare for the dismissal of the members of the Education Bureau. Oh right, let the people from the Ministry of Revenue come over and settle the matter together.”
"Decline? Oh, Your Majesty, if it's just one woman, you don't need ten tables, right?”
Wang Jin glanced at Zhan Qingtan who was beside Zhu Yunwen and smiled.
Xu Huizu's mouth twitched. Damn it, I told you to laugh, but you'll cry later.
Zhu Yunwen turned around, and the others all turned to the side. Wang Jin and the other officials from the Ministry of Rites looked up and saw rows of women slowly coming over. There seemed to be no less than a few hundred of them.
The group entered the Thousand Steps Corridor and slowly approached. The people in front had already reached the Ministry of Rites, but they had yet to reach the end.
Wang Jin shivered and looked at Zhu Yunwen with a bitter smile.
Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently and said,"Everyone, get ready." Jiang Wu sent a message to all the women in the Jiaofang Department who were homeless and had no relatives to go to. Those who were willing to enter the palace were all women in the palace. Those who wanted to return home would join the farmers. Those who had skills and could make a living would join the craftsmen…The choice of household registration was up to them.”
The official from the Ministry of Rites was a little stunned. There were so many people, how many household registration records did they have to write?
Wasn't this exhausting?
