Chapter 105: Self-directed and self-acted Love for the People
Prince: Chuchu still cares about this, no wonder so many people like her.
Gu Wangyan: Not really. When he fought in battles, he often secretly took half of the spoils and handed over the other half. The emperor knew about it but didn’t say anything.
Fang Lingchu didn't know what others were thinking, and chatted with the system all the way.
Soon they arrived at the Song Mansion.
The gate of the Song Mansion was already crowded with people.
Seeing the prince coming, they quickly made way.
At the same time, he said to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, I am here. I don't know what General Song did wrong, so you want to confiscate his property."
Citizen 2: "That's right, General Song is such a good man, and he's also very kind to us ordinary people. How could such a good man be killed?"
Citizen 3: "Your Highness, please investigate thoroughly and give General Song justice. He has been wrongly accused."
Fang Lingchu heard all kinds of voices from the people pleading for Song Xiaoyu.
Fang Lingchu asked curiously: "Guagua, what's going on? So many people are pleading for Song Xiaoyu. What on earth did he do?"
Common people: Lord Fang is going to eat melons again. Could it be that the Song family really did something?
When the others who didn't know Fang Lingchu were just about to ask who to talk to.
My throat seemed to be locked by something and I couldn't open my mouth. When I opened my mouth, I could only scream.
They even began to feel difficulty breathing, and everyone quickly gave up the idea.
Fang Lingchu didn't pay attention to everyone's little movements and listened quietly to the system's announcement.
Why else could it be? Song Xiaoyu is incredibly good at capturing the hearts of the people. The things he directed and acted out himself made the people feel he was a good general.
Others: What do you mean by self-directed and self-acted?
Prince: There is still water inside.
Fang Lingchu asked: [What are you directing and acting in? Is it giving out porridge at the door or something else?]
The system said: [For example, when Mrs. Song went to distribute porridge at the door, General Song sent people to pretend to be bandits to rob.
Then go and save the people, so that the people will feel that they have the people in their hearts.
For example, there was a girl who was taken over by the prince of An. Song Xiaoyu took people to find her and brought her home, and got a beautiful woman who was not afraid of power.
In fact, it was Song Xiaoyu who recommended the girl to Prince An himself, and then he went to rescue her. Later, the girl died. Why did she die? It was because Song Xiaoyu secretly gave the girl to Prince An and got a death row prisoner to replace her.
There are many such people, but the people are unaware of this and think that he is a good official who serves the country and the people.
People: ?????? Is that so?
Among these common people, several received favors from the Song family because of this situation.
Mrs. Song just sent them a letter, asking them, the common people, to help plead for mercy and save their family.
What could these common people do? But thinking of the kindness the Song family had shown to their family in the past, everyone was determined to die and planned to beg the prince for help.
I didn't expect to get this result in the end. Everything was a lie.
The system seemed unaware of the depth of its words and continued, "Host, do you see that young, ragged-looking guy in the crowd?"
Fang Lingchu took a sneak peek, then quickly turned around and said, "I saw it. What happened to him?"
The system said: [That person's name is Wu Yuhao. His father was a failed scholar. His mother, while not a lady from a wealthy family, was a skilled embroiderer. His sister was also beautiful, but unfortunately, she got involved with Song Xiaoyu's younger brother, and her family was destroyed.]
Fang Lingchu asked in surprise: [Why did the family fall apart? Don’t you understand?]
The system said: [It's actually very simple! Wu Yuhao is a very smart person. He passed the examination for Tongsheng at the age of 5 and the examination for Xiucai at the age of 14. Song Xiaoyu's younger brother, who is already 20 years old, is still a loser who lives on his brother's glory. He must be jealous.
How could a mere commoner be smarter than himself? So in order to drag Wu Yuhao into the quagmire, he designed a plan for Prince An to see Wu Yuhao's sister, and then he robbed her in various ways, beating her father to death, angering her mother to death, and her sister to death in her sleep.
Then Song Xiaoyu's younger brother pretended to comfort and seek justice for Wu Yuhao. Although he did not succeed in the end, he offended the prince for him, and then the two became good friends.
Wu Yuhao had no money to go to school, so Song Xiaoyu's younger brother asked him to write poetry for his own use. Later, he became a well-known talent. Tell me, is this ironic?
After hearing what the system said, Fang Lingchu didn't know what to say.
This sentence in Game of Thrones is that those who have money and power can play with the sincerity of ordinary people at will.
You think he condescends to be your friend, but in fact he is the devil who pushes you into the abyss.
I don’t doubt that there are some noble children who really want to make friends, but how could most people look down on you who was born in a poor family?
"Ah! I don't know what to say. In this society with distinct classes, how could a nobleman actually lower himself to make friends with commoners? This is all just a premeditated manipulation."
After listening to what Fang Lingchu and the system said, Wu Yuhao clenched his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound. No wonder he felt so strange.
Ever since he met Song Feicai, something has happened in his family. At first, he thought it was because he was sensitive and suspicious of someone who comforted him after the death of his parents and sister.
He also provided himself with a place to stay and allowed himself to continue reading and writing poetry. It turned out that everything was just for himself.
The death of my parents, the humiliation of my sister, the origin of all this was actually myself.
If I wasn't so outstanding, would my parents not have died?
Wu Yuhao instantly fell into mental exhaustion, and his whole body seemed as if his soul had been taken away, and he became dazed and stupid.
The system sensed Fang Lingchu's bad mood, and suddenly took a malicious interest in it, continuing: "Host, you can't stand this. I said there are even more explosive things to come. Do you want to hear it?"
When Fang Lingchu heard that there was something even more bizarre, he suddenly lost the feeling he had just had.
【What, what? Tell me about it.】
The system continued: [There is a handsome man near the window above the first restaurant on your right.]
Fang Lingchu stood on tiptoe and looked over, but saw nothing.
[You can't see, I'm short, don't you know?]
The system coughed and said: [Then don’t read it, I’ll tell you!
Ji Jingqi, 20 years old, is the most handsome man in the capital after the prince and Gu Wangyan. His father is an eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Households, his sister married a man of equal social status, his family is harmonious, his father has no concubines, and his parents are loving. Although he is not as outstanding as Zhang Gang and others, if he takes the imperial examination, he can also pass the exam.
Unfortunately, he was favored by the Prince of Yan, and in order to get close to the Prince of Yan, Song Xiaoyu used the same old trick again and framed the Ji family for corruption, and executed the entire family. Even his married sister's family was not spared.
Ji Jingqi, who seemed nonchalant at first, lost the smile on her face instantly when she heard about her family's affairs.
