Chapter 273 Internal strife

"I can tell you responsibly that my royal brother, His Majesty the Emperor, has never thought of abusing any ordinary citizen. You can think about it, who were killed by the emperor? Corrupt officials, scum who brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Xiao Yue stepped forward and said loudly.

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor never kills innocent people. In the past three years, you have been exempted from taxes that should be reduced. The Emperor has always sent people to repair the cities that were affected by disasters. A few years ago, a blizzard caused disasters on the northern border, and the soldiers were short of food and clothing. His Majesty the Emperor arrested corrupt officials and killed them, and personally escorted grain and grass to the north. He also captured Beiling, so that Beiling would no longer be an enemy of our Wei. From then on, there will be less war. Let me ask you, are you still dissatisfied with such an emperor?"

Wen Xu also stepped forward and spoke loudly to everyone.

The people all stood where they were. Some of the poisoned people who were coughing originally also held back and tried not to cough loudly.

In the crowd, a few people quietly wanted to retreat.

"Huh, you want to run!" Hongmei led the others to flash over and stop these people.

"You, what are you doing? I just want to go back to cook!"

"I have a stomachache and want to go to the toilet!"

Those people, both men and women, retreated one after another.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, you want to go into the city to report someone, right?" After Hongmei finished speaking, she turned around and said to the people around her: "Go, catch them all for me, and take them directly into the city, and say that they are going to identify the murderer!"

"Ah, no, we don't want it!" Those people suddenly began to rush around and ran around.

However, the next moment, all of them were caught, and none of them could run away.

Even the one who escaped hiding in the distance was grabbed by the neck by the guards behind.

"Princess, spare my life, spare my life!"

"Princess, I am not really persecuting you. I have no choice but to do this. Someone wants to take my family's life and said that if I don't deal with you, they will deal with me!"

"Yes, Princess, I really didn't mean it. It's just that my husband is still in the city. That person said that if I don't deal with you, he will chop my husband to death!"

Those people kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"So, my life is not a life, but a bargaining chip for you to complete your mission?" Xiao Yue sneered.

"Our little princess's life is not a life? You actually want to sacrifice her. You are really bold!" Aunt Gui also shouted coldly.

"What, you still want to sacrifice Xi'er?" Wen Xu's voice changed, he shouted coldly, "You, humph, I will not treat you again even if I feed all these herbs to dogs!"

"Do you really think that as long as you kill me and Doctor Wen, the killer will let you go?" Xiao Yue sneered, "Then he will kill you all, and then say it was the royal family's doing, you, are done!" "We... we

are helpless!" The people continued to kowtow and said, "Your Highness, please let me go, I really didn't mean it!" "

Plague, load the remaining herbs onto the truck and go into the city. As for this Nandun Village, the entire village will be relocated and driven out of the 800-mile radius of the capital. Anyone who enters the capital again will be killed without mercy!"

"Ahhh, no, no, Your Highness, I am wrong, I have old people and young children, I am ignorant, I am wrong..." Someone kowtowed and shouted.

"Yu Fan, you choose some people to stay, the choice is yours, the rest, drive them out immediately!" Xiao Yue said.

Everyone looked at Yu Fan, no one understood.

"I... Your Highness, I don't know what's going on, how to take responsibility!" Yu Fan shook his head and said, "I have wavered before!"

"At least, you told the truth." Xiao Yue said, and got on the carriage, and said coldly: "The carriage is off, enter the city!"

The carriage left, and only Yu Fan and a group of people were left there.

"What's going on? Where's the village chief? Yu Fan, you won't kill him, will you?"

"Yes, didn't the village chief drug the princess so that they could kill her after she was poisoned? Why didn't they do it? Did you save the princess?"

"So, Yu Fan, you killed us?"

"No, I didn't. If you don't do stupid things, this won't happen. The princess is very kind!" As Yu Fan was talking, a stick suddenly hit his head.

Yu Fan felt his head sink, and then a sharp pain came, and he immediately stepped back.

"What are you doing? When Brother Fan and I arrived, the princess had already come down the mountain. She was not poisoned at all. Besides, the little princess is such a smart child, how could you have figured it out? Don't forget, the little princess helped His Majesty the Emperor to capture Beiling!"

"Yes, when we went there, the princess had already gone down the mountain, and so did that nanny. She was very skilled. You are dreaming. Do you still want to poison them?"

Several young men with Yu Fan shouted at the people. Yu Fan, whom they were supporting, had blood on his forehead.

"Well, I shouldn't have brought you to the village and fed you. You are such an ungrateful bunch!"

"Why are you still nagging at them? Kill them and we will pretend that we didn't hear the princess' order. She went into the city. Humph, she may not be able to get out alive even if she goes in!" As they

spoke, they rushed towards Yu Fan and the other young men.

The carriage stopped at the city gate.

"Mother, are you really not going back to save people? Did I misunderstand you, or am I stupid?"

"Hey, mother, did you expect that Yu Fan would be beaten to death?"

Baby Ruoxi thought, looking up at her mother, her little hands gestured, and finally, she sighed.

"Alas, mother doesn't understand my heart!"

"Hongmei, take the people back!" Xiaoyue shouted, and Hongmei immediately opened the curtain and looked at the princess: "No need to ask!"

"Yes!" Hongmei knew the decision made by her princess in the blink of an eye, she immediately lowered the curtain, turned around and led the people to Nandun Village quickly.

Nandun Village, which specializes in stone carving, building dams and city walls, was originally highly valued by the emperor, who specially exempted them from taxes for three years just to let them do their work well.

Who would have thought that they would have such a vicious mind.

"Oh, it seems that I blamed my mother wrongly!" Baby Ruoxi looked at her mother and nodded her head in her arms.
