217. Chapter 216: Anger of the Common Man



On the top floor of Tianxiang Tower, Shen Ning looked at the people walking away on Ningrong Street, and felt that it was a little unreal.

She thought it was a bloody storm, but how could it be a tiger head with a snake tail? No, no, no, it was a rat head, how could it be worthy of a tiger? There was no snake tail at all.

Although the Prince of Jin is not smart, he must be very eager to move Ningguo Mansion and her heart. Since he has taken action, there is no reason to do so, right?

Or was it that his main target was the palace, and he just came here to disgust her? But the palace...

Looking towards the imperial palace from afar, Shen Ning felt okay, otherwise Lord Dong might not be able to take care of her side.

So what's wrong?

"Today's events are very strange!"

Grandmother Jia was also looking at the direction of the imperial city. The old lady had experienced a lot when she was young. Now that she was old, she wanted to enjoy wealth and luxury. However, if the court was unstable, the family would not be stable. "Let's wait and see!"

What else can you do if you don't wait? When Shen Ning sighed inwardly, Lan Zhi and other border town generals received the emperor's order and confronted the imperial guards led by Sang Qingyu.

When Jia Zhen received the order and rushed to support, more than half of Sang Qingyu's men had been killed or wounded.

"Jia Zhen, I have a secret order from the Emperor, do you dare to stop me?"

The generals in the border towns wanted to gain benefits from the emperor, not to mention Sang Qingyu, but Jia Zhen was different, as the Jia family was an old minister of the retired emperor.

"…Are you sure your secret order is real? Even if it is real, when did the emperor give it to you?"

Jia Zhen didn't expect that he would encounter such a life-and-death situation right after he arrived. "General Sang, the emperor was angered by the Prince of Jin and had a stroke. Others may not know about it, but you don't know about it either?" At this point, he couldn't care about anything else. "The Prince of Jin colluded with the Japanese pirates. He has no respect for his father, no moral principles, and he is not worthy of being a human being. But you still insist on keeping the secret order. Are you bullying the emperor who can no longer speak?"

Sang Qingyu: “…”

"Everyone, General Sang is confused. Are you confused too? The Emperor Retired, the Emperor Retired, the Emperor Retired has abdicated long ago. The current ruler of Dazhao is the Emperor. The Emperor worked diligently to recover the Hetao that the Emperor Retired lost."

He attacked overnight just because he didn't want Prince Jin to succeed.

"General Sang, do you also want to be a person without a king or a father?"

Jia Zhen shouted angrily, "Did my uncle promote you in order to make the emperor unjust?" He suddenly understood why the emperor transferred him here. "Do you want to use that so-called secret order, whose authenticity is unknown, to cause Dazhao to fall into civil strife and allow foreign tribes and Japanese pirates to divide it up again?"

This? The imperial guards following Sang Qingyu were all trembling in their hearts.

On the city wall, the emperor couldn't help but take a few steps forward when he heard Jia Zhen angrily scolding Sang Qingyu.

"Put down your sword, Your Majesty..."

"I forgive you for your crimes that you didn't know about!"

The emperor didn't want too much bloodshed.

Many people have died.

He didn't want Jia Zhen to come originally, but Sang Qingyu was promoted by Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan.

"Sang Qingyu~"

The emperor stood on the city wall, looking down at the group of people who were surrounded, and said, "Put down your swords, and either go to Japan or go to the border town to make amends for your crimes!"

He really wanted to kill him, but the mutiny was led by the emperor emeritus.

Many people have died because of the internal strife within the royal family, and the emperor does not want to be involved any further.

Instead of killing them, it is better to let them go to a wider world and make meritorious contributions while serving their sentence.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Do you want to see?"

The emperor had no guilty conscience and said, "I allow you to go and see him."

Sang Qingyu: “…”

He had already asked the imperial physician he was familiar with about the condition of the retired emperor.

But the secret order...

He wanted to say that the secret order was a secret order, but the blood of his brothers and what Jia Zhen had just said...

If we continue fighting, all our brothers will die.

Clang! Sang Qingyu's knife fell to the ground and he knelt down.

Now that the chief officer has fallen, the others certainly would not hold on any longer, and the swords in their hands fell down with a clang.

Now that this biggest problem has been solved, other small rebellions within the Imperial Guards will naturally be no problem at all.

Moreover, Sang Qingyu had the secret order from the emperor, but what did the others have? Only letters from their respective masters.

The emperor showed no mercy to these people and ordered them to be slaughtered.

At the same time, Dong Xiaoquan, who had not finished half of the firefighting and case trials, was asked by the princes to rush to the palace.

While fighting the fire, this guy got a lot of evidence.

Through the witnesses and evidence, Prince Jing was the first to feel that something was wrong.

The King of Jin was desperate and accepted the burning of his house, but what were the Kings of Tang, Kang, and An doing? The people they placed in his palace actually followed suit and fished in troubled waters.

If they are caught and interrogated, there is a warrant.

Make him a grandma.

After protecting the secret room where the imperial robe was hidden, he followed Dong Xiaoquan to the Prince of Tang's palace with murderous intent.

The same thing happened on his side. The people he planted in Prince Tang's palace also set the fire.

The two brothers almost came to blows.

They quarreled and went to Prince An's Mansion with Dong Xiaoquan.

As a result, the same thing is still happening...

At this point, even a fool would know that something is wrong.

They clearly did not send any orders, but the seals and handwriting on the few pieces of paper that had not been destroyed were all theirs.

One person can be said to be confused and have lost his memory, but so many people...

"It's the King of Jin. It must be the King of Jin!"

Prince Jing didn't expect him to be so bold.

He actually asked someone to copy his brothers' seals and handwriting.

The incident at the palace was caused by the Prince of Jin, and the imperial guards in the imperial city who rebelled...

The princes rushed to the palace in a hurry.

But by the time they arrived, it was already too late.

All the teams that followed orders and secretly assisted Sang Qingyu in the rebellion were wiped out without a single one left.

However, those who felt that something was wrong and did not take action were lucky enough to survive.

"Sir, we should go now."

The Prince of Jin's mansion was surrounded, and although this secret passage was hidden, we had to guard against it.

The two men in black looked at the badly beaten Prince Jin and said to Liu Yuan, "The rebellion has been decided, and those princes have also found out that something is wrong, and they have gone to appeal to the emperor."

"Just shout!"

Liu Yuan also glanced at King Jin and said, "Don't be impatient, let them catch their breath."

Cutting flesh with a blunt knife will cause more pain.

"Have you delivered the things I asked you to deliver to Shuntian Prefecture?"

"It was delivered. Today's trip to Shuntian Prefecture was particularly smooth. Apart from the two gatekeepers, there was no one else."

"How is Ningguo Mansion?"

It is said that the emperor had a stroke, thanks to Jia Jing who followed the same path as the prince.

Otherwise, the old bastard surrounded by a group of imperial doctors might still be alive and well.

"Of the Japanese pirates you tricked away, a small number were captured by Ningguo Prefecture, and the rest were captured by Lu Zong, the chief escort from Shuntian Prefecture."

It's impossible not to admire it.

Who could have imagined that this gentleman, with just a pen, could cause chaos among the most distinguished group of people in the world.

This further proves the stupidity of King Jin.

Mr. Liu has been by his side for so many years, but he has not made good use of him.

"Okay, okay, next we will wait for this capital city to see more heads rolling in!"

Mr. Liu poured the wine, poured three cups on the ground, and then poured himself a cup.

"I hope the emperor can survive this."

His sons were fooled by him.

Hahaha~~~Liu Yuan is very happy.

Not only were his sons fooled by him, but next, he had to give gifts to the emperor's son, whom he despised the most.

Whether those bastards like Prince Jing live or die depends on whether the emperor and the law of the country will tolerate it.

Even if...

Can they still be high and mighty princes? Knowing that the fool King Jin could not do these things, so what? He just wanted to let them know that the anger of a common man could also overturn the world and make rivers of blood flow.

At this time, the emperor looked at the various witnesses and evidence presented by Dong Xiaoquan, and then looked at the group of brothers with droopy heads, and was speechless for a long time.

"This matter...you can go and talk to Father yourself!"

This matter is probably closely related to Mr. Liu, whom Dong Xiaoquan investigated some time ago.

The emperor was not only shocked, but also deeply fearful.

What on earth is this person trying to do? "Master Dong," after the brothers had left, he asked Dong Xiaoquan, "What do you think of what happened today..."

"I'm afraid it's not over yet."

Dong Xiaoquan's brows were knitted into knots. "Your Majesty, if Jia Zhen did not report it, could your people in the Beijing camp use any special channels to send the news of the closure of the Beijing camp back to the capital?"

This? "...Yes!"

The emperor said, "Today, at dawn, I received news that the camp was closed."

It's a little late and he won't be well prepared.

The king and his minister looked at each other, both feeling heavy-hearted.

If the other party had known this long ago, then this incident...

"It was the general who took action today."

Dong Xiaoquan swallowed his saliva dryly, "Most of the people in the court of the princes... have not moved yet."

It looks like helping the emperor, but this kind of help...

Not only the emperor found it hard to bear, but he too.

How many people will die! What on earth does Mr. Liu want to do? Is he just asking the princes to give up their lives? "…Has the Prince of Jin been found?"

The emperor thought about it again and again and felt that the problem still lay with Prince Jin.

"The people below are still looking for him. Prince Jin...is unlikely to return to Prince Jin's Palace."

Dong Xiaoquan now suspects that Prince Jin, the tool used by Mr. Liu, may have died silently somewhere.

It would be even harder to check if this were the case.

"Find him, you must find him."

The emperor took a sip of water and said, "We must find the Prince of Jin and Mr. Liu as well."

Especially this mysterious Mr. Liu, if he can't find him..., he will be unable to sleep or eat.

Today, everyone in the capital is trembling.

When Jia Zhen handed over everything and returned home, it was almost dark.

"Mother!"

When they arrived at Shen Ning's courtyard, Jia Mu and others were there.

Even Jia Min and Jia Zhen were waiting here.

"Are you hungry? Eat first."

Seeing that Jia Zhen seemed to have lost weight, Shen Ning spoke before Jia's mother, "If you have anything to say, let's talk after we finish eating."

I've waited for so long, I don't mind waiting a little longer.

The maids quickly served the food, and Rong Ge'er also served his father a bowl of soup.

Jia Zhen really didn't get much water to drink today. He took the lukewarm soup from his son's hand and finished it in a few gulps. He was so busy that he didn't even notice that his hungry stomach seemed to be revived all of a sudden.

He gobbled up the food and dishes on the table like a whirlwind.

After a while, he finished two bowls and Jia Zhen slowed down a little.

He hasn't had any to eat since last night.

I was busy all day today and didn’t even have a sip of water!

"Home is still the best."

It's so scary out there.

"Old lady, mother, Uncle She, third aunt, fourth aunt!"

Jia Zhen called out to the others, "You don't know how scared I was yesterday..."

He started from the Beijing camp, how the emperor asked him to borrow soldiers, and then guard the gate, and then he was called by the emperor to tell the whole story of Sang Qingyu's surrender. "The emperor was kind and righteous, and did not punish the surrendered soldiers. Sang Qingyu was sent to Liaodong to make meritorious contributions, and the other imperial guards were also sent to the border cities."

There was blood there! Jia Zhen refused to eat it.

His stomach turned a little bit again.

Jia Zhen shook his head, trying not to think about the corpses and pools of blood. "What happened today may not have been done by the Prince of Jin."

"Who is that?"

Jia She couldn't wait.

"……have no idea."

Jia Zhen glanced at his mother and said, "Prince Jin has disappeared and we don't know whether he is alive or dead."

He knew something.

The princes are all crying out for injustice.

Their letters and seals were stolen.

The one who can do all this...

It was Jia Zhen who personally sent the thief and skinny monkey to Shuntian Prefecture.

"However, when I left the palace, I heard that the situation with the Emperor was even worse."

All the princes were fooled.

Although they put all the blame on Prince Jin, the emperor had a stroke, not that he was mentally confused.

"The princes angered the emperor, so they were all sent to the clan house by the emperor."

This? Grandmother Jia sighed in her heart.

A new emperor appoints his own ministers!

Fortunately, the Jia family submitted to the emperor early on.

Thinking of this, she looked at Shen Ning gratefully and said, "Forget it, as long as our family is fine."

The old lady had been worried all day, but now she has finally let it go. "Zhen'er, you should have a good rest," she stood up and said, "We'll talk slowly tomorrow."

“Hey~”

Jia Zhen hurriedly got up with his mother to see the old lady and his uncles and aunts off.

"That's it, you all take a break."

Before they left the yard, the old lady asked them to go back.

Shen Ning didn't insist and watched them walk away.

"Mother, where is Youshi?"

All the elders are here, but Youshi is not here.

Jia Zhen felt a little dissatisfied, but was also worried about whether something had happened to her. "Is your family safe today?"

"Not very peaceful!"

Shen Ning returned to the house and waved her hand to let all the maids go down. "A group of Japanese pirates came from the back street. We killed eight and captured two alive. Now they are sent to the Shuntian Prefecture Prison."

Ah? Jia Zhen was surprised, "Only this team?"

"There were some in the front street, but Captain Lu and his men killed some of them and took them all away."

Rong Ge'er answered for his grandmother. At this point, he showed joy on his face, "Father, congratulations on becoming a father again. Mother now has my little brother."

A little sister is fine, but their family will be more stable if they have a little brother.

Jia Zhen: “…”

He couldn't believe it.

What do you mean he's going to be a father again?

He looked at his mother in surprise, "Mother, Youshi..."

"Well, she wasn't feeling well after you left yesterday. I asked someone to check her out and found out she was pregnant."

Shen Ning said, "She was busy with your father's funeral. The doctor said she was exhausted. You should go back and take good care of her."

“Hey~”

Jia Zhen's answer was crisp and clear, "Mother, I'll go see her first, and I'll have something to tell you later." (End of this chapter)
