Chapter 511 The King Has Decided to Marry
Mo Jinchuan asked coldly, "So, you are questioning His Majesty's judgment?"
The man felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Amidst the sighs of the people, Mo Jinchuan said with a serious face, "This letter of divorce was written by His Majesty before General Lin left for this expedition.
If she dies, Song Yanxi won't have to continue being trapped in the General's Mansion as a widow."
The word "trapped" suppressed all the doubts that had just emerged in many people's minds.
Someone suddenly realized something and slapped his thigh, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. He knows that Lin Tingfeng is no good and he is definitely unwilling to let the princess go free."
"He spent those two years in the border town, living a life of pure bliss. How could he have cared about the life and death of his wife back home?"
"Let's not talk about the same old things. If he was really a piece of shit, he should have returned the divorce papers when he hooked up with Princess Shihan shortly after getting married."
When it comes to scolding ungrateful people, everyone is more excited than the other.
Especially this person, he has military merits and is a third-rank general.
How many chances do ordinary people like them have in their lifetime to curse the generals of the current dynasty in the streets?
Especially when they tried to curse a few times and found that no one from the Dali Temple came to stop them, they cursed even more vigorously.
Infected by the emotions of the crowd, the person who started the trouble couldn't help but spit a few words along.
"You're so fond of the new and dislike the old, and you still want to enjoy the happiness of having many wives. How can you be called the General of the Cavalry?
In my opinion, it's more like an ungrateful person."
Someone echoed, "Yes, if such a sinister villain can marry the princess, we are no worse than him."
Hearing this, the man's expression instantly turned sad, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, that princess is very powerful, not just anyone can subdue her.
Even if I had to pay her money, I wouldn’t marry her.”
"Brother, after hearing this, do you still know the princess?"
"Who told you that? You can't just say that!"
The man turned around nervously and met two faces full of righteousness.
Looking down, they were clearly wearing official uniforms.
"Oh my god!" The man turned around and was about to run away, but he was faced with the shining long sword in An Yi's hand.
His legs went limp and he fell to the ground, saying in a flattering manner, "Sir, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
The two men grabbed his shoulders, one on each side, and lifted him up, saying with a forced smile, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you'll find out after you follow us."
The onlookers were amazed, and some curious people came forward to ask, "Why are they arresting people for no reason?"
The bailiff grabbed the man by the collar and said, "This man and several of his accomplices have been hired to cause trouble in Beijing recently. They've been arrested once before, but they still haven't learned their lesson.
I didn't expect them to be so bold as to cause trouble in front of the Dali Temple."
"Ah, there are accomplices?"
"I was saying this guy has shifty eyes and doesn't look like a good guy. And judging by his accent, he doesn't seem like a local."
Thinking that there was strength in numbers and that they might be able to provide some clues, the bailiffs quickly took out portraits of several people.
When the people saw the first picture, they exclaimed, "Isn't this person drinking tea with Lord Qiu in there?"
Upon hearing that it was right in front of them, the bailiff hurriedly unfolded the remaining few pictures for them to see.
But this time, everyone looked at each other, waved their hands and said they had never seen it.
Especially the one who had just started the fight, he looked at the sun above his head with a fake look and said, "It's past noon, I have to go home and cook for my mother."
With him taking the lead, the others cooked and washed clothes, and they finished their work in a short while.
Even the old man, leaning on his cane, walked forward slowly, saying as he walked: "At my age, I can't afford to stay in prison."
After everyone had left, the two yamen runners saw several people lying behind the stone lions at the gate, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
One person asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what are they doing?"
Mo Jinchuan said calmly, "I was too tired from leading the trouble, so I fell asleep."
The man who was caught by the two yamen runners opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but his mouth was covered by someone.
The bailiff smiled at Mo Jinchuan and said, "The higher-ups are having a headache trying to catch these guys. Thanks to Your Majesty for helping us. We will definitely report this to the higher-ups when we get back."
"Mmmm!" The man tried to struggle, but was knocked unconscious by the knife in his hand.
When they dragged the person away, Zhuzhi immediately came forward and asked nervously, "Miss, are you hurt?"
Song Yanxi shook her head slightly and handed her the handkerchief.
The little girl must have been running all the way and was sweating profusely.
Zhuzhi wiped his sweat while thankfully saying, "Fortunately, Sister An San gave me the token, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth."
Mo Jinchuan frowned and asked, "Isn't the title of Princess Mansion useful?"
Unexpectedly, Wuxin's words were heard by him. Zhuzhi suddenly became nervous and stammered, "My Lord, in places like the government office, people are treated differently based on their status.
My daughter's reputation is naturally not as useful as the prince's."
After saying these two sentences, she broke out in a cold sweat on her back.
The prince usually does not put on airs in front of them, and she is definitely going to make him unhappy by relying on the power of Prince Jin's Mansion to act in private.
Afraid that Song Yanxi would be blamed for her self-assertion, Zhuzhi quickly knelt down.
The little girl said in panic: "Your Highness, please calm down. This matter was all done by me alone and has nothing to do with my daughter.
If the prince wants to punish me, I will never complain."
Mo Jinchuan glanced at Song Yanxi and asked with a smile, "Why should I punish you?"
Zhuzhi hesitated and said, "I shouldn't have shown the badge of Prince Jin's Mansion when I reported to the authorities. People mistakenly thought I was from the palace."
She paused, then said anxiously, "If this gets out, people will inevitably accuse my daughter of taking advantage of the favor and the influence of Prince Jin's Mansion."
Mo Jinchuan: "She's quite a clever girl."
Seeing that he wasn't angry, Song Yanxi pulled up the bamboo stick and teased, "I've never seen you so timid when you were at home."
Zhuzhi blushed and tugged at her sleeve to signal her to stop talking.
The little girl is shy, especially since this happens outside.
Besides, there are outsiders here.
Seeing her shyly hiding behind Song Yanxi, Mo Jinchuan coughed lightly and said, "You did very well today."
"Okay?" Zhuzhi's face turned even redder.
Obviously, she misunderstood and thought that Mo Jinchuan, like Song Yanxi, was deliberately teasing her.
Just when she was about to find a hole to crawl into, she heard him say, "Keep this badge. You can take it out if you encounter any problems in the future."
Zhuzhi was stunned by these words and couldn't react for a while.
She stared blankly at her girl and nervously called out, "Girl."
Song Yanxi's mood at this moment was even more complicated than hers.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Your Highness, do you understand that spilled water cannot be undone?"
Mo Jinchuan laughed and asked instead of answering, "Does it look like I have never read a book?"
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, he asked again: "Do you still think that after today's incident, you can still deny your involvement with this prince?"
The corners of his lips curled up, and his dark eyes were filled with a smile of success. "Song Yanxi, I will marry you."
