Sun Changjing trembled all over upon hearing this.
Emperor Qingyuan is truly turning black into white. He is incompetent and doesn't want to take responsibility for his mistakes, so he pushes all the blame onto a child.
Does this make him feel proud?
Does he really think the people of Qingyuan are blind?
"Brother, you've misunderstood. Sisi, she..."
"Who dares to disobey the Emperor's decree?" Wang Xian didn't even listen to him finish speaking, pushed him aside, and left.
"grown ups."
Xu Zhenzhen bowed slightly. "Please give your orders."
"What about two thousand?"
"Two thousand escorted Xie Yan back."
Sun Changjing was filled with rage. "Have men guard the only road to the Zhou residence and shoot all those Imperial Guards dead, leaving no one alive."
"His Majesty..."
"You don't need to worry about things here."
Sun Changjing had a wicked idea. On his way to find You Rong, a maid suddenly came over and shouted, "My lord, Master Zhao is here."
"Please come here."
As soon as Zhao Tianfu stepped into the room, he asked anxiously, "What happened? Why did I see those Imperial Guards heading towards the Zhou residence?"
"They want to kill Sisi, saying that Sisi is a witch, and that it was because of her that Qingyuan was attacked by the Xiongnu."
Zhao Tianfu gritted his teeth, "This incompetent and tyrannical emperor actually said such shameless things!"
"I have already sent men to shoot the Imperial Guards."
“They only brought a few hundred men; the important ones are the Imperial Guards from the City Lord’s Mansion.” Zhao Tianfu placed something on the table and looked at Sun Changjing.
The two men looked at each other, both knowing this was a last resort; if they didn't do it, they would die.
Sun Changjing suddenly lost his voice, "He harmed so many people, this is his retribution."
"Yes, they received the people's worship and ate the taxes paid by the people, but they failed to fulfill their duties. They deserved their punishment."
Zhao Tianfu took a breath and said, "Brother Sun, you still have a child that hasn't been born yet. I'll do this. Consider it my way of seeking justice for all the people in the world and avenging the blood feud of the people who died in the capital!"
"No, you have children too, and Yuan'er is still so young. If something happens to you, how will they live?"
Zhao Tianfu panicked, "There's no other way. No one would be willing to do this. Brother Sun, don't try to take it from me. Sisi is our family's little darling. It's only right that I save her. What's it to you?"
Sun Changjing glared, "Sisi is still my goddaughter. If we're talking about blood relatives, goddaughters are closer. This matter should be left to me!"
How can you be so unreasonable?
"You're being unreasonable! I think you're just getting more and more long-winded as you get older. Mind your own business!"
The two argued heatedly, even coming to blows, and threatened to tie each other up.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a dark figure quietly took the medicine packet and quickly slipped away.
Wang Xian led the Imperial Guards in a grand procession through the streets, and the people of the city gathered together to talk about it.
One of the bolder ones asked directly, "Sir, are you on patrol to guard the city?"
Wang Xian clasped his hands together and faced the sky, speaking righteously, "By order of the Emperor, the demoness Sisi has harmed the people, wreaked havoc on the world, and attracted the invasion of the Xiongnu, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, with rivers of blood flowing. Her entire family should be executed."
He thought his words would make the people cheer, but to his surprise, they were all filled with anger.
"Who are you calling a witch?"
Someone smashed an egg straight onto Wang Xian's head, leaving him stunned for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, the people angrily threw everything they had in their hands at the object, cursing as they did so.
"You're the witch, your whole family are witches."
"Sisi brought timely rain to the people, and what did you do? That incompetent and tyrannical emperor killed people as soon as he entered the city and then abandoned it and fled. Does he deserve to be emperor?"
"And what's this talk about Sisi attracting the Xiongnu? If the emperor weren't so incompetent, would the Xiongnu dare to attack our Qingyuan?"
"He has killed so many innocent people, why don't you execute him? He's just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
With his head covered in rotten grass roots, Wang Xian could barely see the road ahead. He roared angrily, "A bunch of unruly commoners, daring to slander the Emperor! Believe me, I'll kill you all!"
Upon hearing this, the people became even more enraged. Some threw flour into their eyes and then beat them with large sticks.
One by one, even a woman participated in the fight; she used her shoe to beat the Imperial Guard until his face was bruised and swollen.
"Stop it, all of you!"
The sound of a sharp sword piercing a chest rang out.
The people stopped. The dead child was a helpless child.
Their eyes were bloodshot.
Wang Xian brandished his bloodstained knife, sneering and roaring, "Anyone who dares to move again, I'll stab you all to death, you ignorant fools!"
The child's mother instantly broke down, screaming that she was going to come and fight him, but Wang Xian raised his knife and slashed at her.
With a clang.
His knife collided with Xu Zhenzhen's sword.
"Lord Wang, why are you still indiscriminately killing innocent people?"
Wang Xian squinted. "Can't you see they're causing trouble? I'm just maintaining order in Wuzhou!"
Xu Zhenzhen removed his knife and said with a forced smile, "Is that so? Then Lord Wang must have had a hard time."
"Guards, evacuate the civilians!"
At his command, Xu Zhenzhen's men immediately lined up in an orderly fashion and moved all the civilians to a safe location.
"It won't delay Lord Wang's business. Please, Lord Wang."
Wang Xian was too lazy to pay attention to this troublesome commoner; his mission was to raid the house of that witch!
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Once they were far away from the people, Xu Zhenzhen suddenly smiled and shouted sharply, "Fire arrows—!"
