Chapter 95: Benevolent Lord? If you weren't useless, why would we choose someone else...

As Qin Yuqing finished speaking, Lord Shen collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face, his fingers clenched tightly on the ground.

"Yeah, why didn't I know that someone had been replaced?" Lord Shen sat on the ground in despair, unable to tell whether it was tears or snot. He suddenly burst into laughter, with resentment in his eyes, and said to Qin Yuqing.

"They are ignorant! They are inflexible! They are pedantic and conservative!" Lord Shen shouted at the top of his lungs, looking at everyone with bloodshot eyes, speaking hysterically.

"It's all their fault! I gave them a chance! They just don't understand me! They don't understand the situation in Dayin!"

As he spoke, Lord Shen's voice gradually became lower. He was now speaking to other people, but it also seemed like he was trying to convince himself.

"This is survival of the fittest. I fought for them, but they gave up the chance to live."

Listening to Lord Shen's words, Qin Yuqing didn't know whether to laugh at his naivety, feel sad for his stupidity, or be angry at his cruelty.

If Qin Yuqing were a later generation, looking at the entire history of the Great Yin, she might sigh that being in the torrent of history, all choices are beyond her control.

But now she is a person existing in this history. No matter what the reason, she can exist in this torrent, so she cannot empathize, nor can she empathize with Lord Shen.

Whether it was the people who died from the "parasites" in Yanyun City, or the people who died in the floods in Cangzhou and Lingjun, these living people died in front of Qin Yuqing.

She had no way, and no possibility, to ignore these people's deaths.

She is Qin Yuqing, a modern person who lives in the modern world and has received higher education. She is a modern person who has set a moral framework for herself.

"You're trying to cover your ears and steal the bell." Lu Jingchuan sneered coldly, his eyes filled with disdain, "You're deceiving yourself."

Hearing this, Qin Yuqing raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Jingchuan. Yes, seeing the deaths of civilians and the natural disasters in the south, how could Lord Shen not know that he had done something wrong?

No, his heart has long been black, and he doesn't need to be controlled. He just listens to the actions of the person behind the scenes.

He might have already been addicted to it and become one with the dark desire.

"If it's really as you said, why do you think these people would betray you?" Except for Lu Jingchuan, everyone's eyes were filled with disgust.

"Look at them. They are all citizens of the Great Yin, born and raised by the Great Yin." Qin Yuqing said softly, "We will all act for the Great Yin, not for our own selfish interests."

"Lord Shen, the prefect of Luocheng, when you decide to murder loyal and honest people for your inner desires, you are no longer a member of the Great Yin."

Qin Yuqing shook her head and looked at the detained General Song: "Let's go, General Song."

General Song kept struggling, but was still pinned to the ground. Because of the violent struggle, General Song's eyes were filled with red bloodshot.

"Let's go and have a look. You have delivered grain to Cangzhou and Lingjun." Qin Yuqing smiled faintly. When she arrived in Luocheng, she noticed that Luocheng was surrounded by farmland.

At the same time, there is always a group of people who look hurried. They deliberately avoid the crowd, shuttle through the farmland, and soon disappear on the ridge.

So, Qin Yuqing sent someone to follow quietly, but unexpectedly he received an unexpected surprise.

This made Qin Yuqing speed up the detection of the granary in Luocheng, and when he found the granary, he unexpectedly received help from the people of Luocheng.

They all hated the prefect's exploitation and cruelty, so the moment they knew it was the Sixth Princess, they agreed without a second thought.

This is the Sixth Princess Qin Yuqing, the savior of the South, the compassionate Bodhisattva, and the hope for the future of Great Yin.

"Sixth Princess, when did you do all this?" General Shen looked at the destination that was getting closer and closer. He knew that at this moment he was like fish on the chopping board, with no room for maneuver.

"Just these few days." Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan walked side by side. She curiously played with the long sword in Lu Jingchuan's hand. "You didn't notice it, which only means."

"You have lost the support of the people and lost the initiative."

Lord Shen's pupils trembled violently, and his cloudy eyes gradually became clear. Looking at the fields around him, he muttered to himself.

"I was wrong. Time is running out. Time is running out."

No one heard clearly what Lord Shen said, but no one asked, after all, they didn't care at all.

Soon they arrived at the actual granary, which was a natural, giant cave with countless lights covered under protective shields, and the candlelight flickered constantly.

"The amount of food here is completely different from what you reported." Perhaps out of habit, Qin Yuqing spoke with a smile in his voice, but his voice was extremely cold.

"Don't you agree, Lord Shen?" Qin Yuqing picked up a handful of snow-white rice and watched the crystal rice grains flow through her fingers.

Lord Shen's body kept shaking as the rice grains fell. He was scared. He realized it belatedly and began to be scared.

"Bring him up." Lu Jingchuan glanced at General Song who was still unconvinced and said in a cold voice.

As the voice fell, Lu Jiu brought a group of people into the cave: "Master, everyone is here."

These people's hands were tied up with thick hemp ropes. They stood in rows with their heads hung down, and all they wore were armor.

"If I'm not mistaken." The voice of Crown Prince Qin Youqian also turned completely cold. What was there to not understand? From the first moment he saw the cave, the Crown Prince's murderous intent had never subsided.

Qin Yuqing took the long sword that Pu Qinghe handed over, handed it to Qin Youqian and said, "Here you go, you're welcome, Prince."

Qin Youqian looked at Qin Yuqing with some amusement. He now understood that although this sixth sister looked steady and sensible on the surface, she was actually still a naughty child at heart.

Kind of, cute.

Qin Yuqing smiled at Qin Youqian. She now had a good impression of the prince. After all, he could follow her thinking, and Qin Youqian was currently on her side.

With the help of the prince, at least many things will be much more convenient and easier than what she is doing now.

"General Song, is this the reply from your Song family to me, His Majesty, and Dayin?" The prince pointed his sword at General Song who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes extremely cold.

"The Song family is doing very well."

Song Yiru and Song Mingli stood aside. When they heard what Prince Qin Youqian said, they shook their heads helplessly, first looking at the sky and then at the ground, trying to reduce their presence.

Anyway, it's not about them.

Probably because the matter was exposed, General Song stopped pretending and looked at Crown Prince Qin Youqian with disgust and ridicule, and he spoke in an extremely sarcastic tone.

"Your Highness, the Song family's choice is not accidental. If you were useless, why would we choose another master?"

Qin Yuqing stood aside without saying a word. She looked at Qin Youqian with curiosity, then looked at General Song who was shouting on the ground. Like the Song sisters, she shook her head helplessly.

Short-sighted.

"Choose another master? Is this the option?" Crown Prince Qin Youqian looked at General Song angrily and at the soldiers kneeling on the ground. They were supposed to defend their country and sacrifice themselves to protect the people.

Instead of exploiting the people and putting their own interests above the suffering of the people as is the case now.

"As the Crown Prince, I know that your choice is for survival and the continuation of the Great Yin." The Crown Prince's eyes flashed with helplessness and vicissitudes that were inconsistent with his age.

“But the survival of a dynasty should not be trampled on the flesh and blood of the people, but should be lifted up by the people.”

As soon as these words were spoken, surprise flashed in Qin Yuqing's fox eyes. At this moment, she seemed to understand Song Yiru's words to some extent.

This Crown Prince who has been with her from the beginning to the end, her nominal brother, Qin Youqian of Dayin, really wants to protect everyone.

Just as Song Yiru said, if Qin Youqian was born in a peaceful and prosperous era, he would really be a perfect and wise ruler, because this kind of person is a benevolent ruler who will listen to honest advice even if it is unpleasant to the ear.

This is the kind of person the people are looking forward to, but now is a time of chaos.

A king who can survive in troubled times cannot be a benevolent ruler.

After hearing the Crown Prince's words, General Song laughed disdainfully, his sarcasm barely concealed. "I've always known that Your Highness was kind and honest since childhood, but he's no longer a child. He's being naive."

Qin Youqian was not angry. He looked at General Song with a cold gaze, ignoring General Song's words and asked, "What do my second brother and the others want to do?"

"Luo Cheng is just a pawn abandoned by my second brother and them. Tell me, I can let the Song family go."

"Let the Song family go?" General Song suddenly laughed and looked at Song Yiru and Song Mingde who were standing opposite him. He suddenly understood something and yelled hysterically at Song Yiru.

"It's you! I was wondering why the prince went to the south. It's because of you! Song Yirou is because of you."

Song Yirou was named. She smiled and saluted General Song gently, saying, "Yes, uncle. You are much slower than I thought. You only realized it now."

"It seems that the South is too comfortable, causing my uncle to degenerate."

General Song's eyes were filled with disbelief, and then his entire face flushed red. He said with mockery in his eyes, "When you were born, I told you that you should be killed! A girl like you is a disaster! You should have been killed! The Song family doesn't need women!"

"You women shouldn't exist in this world! You women don't understand anything about government. You women should be willing to submit to us men! To be..."

Qin Yuqing was just about to take action when he saw Song Yirou walking up with a gentle smile on her face. She then slapped General Song hard in the face with a decisive and decisive move.

"I call you uncle out of respect for you, but it doesn't mean you are really qualified to be my uncle." Song Yiro still looked gentle, but her tone was extremely cold.

"If Yirou's strength wasn't enough and the timing wasn't right, why do you think I didn't kill you?"

Qin Yuqing withdrew her hand, half leaned against Lu Jingchuan, and looked at Song Yiru with relief and joy in her eyes. This was the talent she had her eyes on, and this was the right thing to do.

As expected of Song Yiru, she is very decisive.

The next moment, a hand grabbed Qin Yuqing's wrist and straightened it.

Qin Yuqing looked at the Crown Prince Qin Youqian in confusion, her fox eyes full of confusion as to why Qin Youqian wanted to pull her?

"Girls, please be tactful." The prince's tone was full of disappointment. "You are not married yet, so it is forbidden for men and women to touch each other."

Lu Jingchuan looked at the prince with cold eyes, and he was very unhappy at the moment.

The sweet and soft A'ruan is gone!
