She looked up at Xiao Xieyun who was sitting opposite her and pouring tea for her.
"Ayun, did you send that man in white?"
Xiao Xieyun raised his eyebrows, "Xixi is really amazing, she can guess right every time."
Ying Xixi smiled and said, "That's what I said."
The discussion downstairs became a little quieter, and the interrogation at Caishikou began.
Xiao Xieyun had personally interrogated those ten officials in advance and had found their weaknesses.
Now being interrogated again in public, they did not dare to lie and honestly told what they had done.
Among them were spies from enemy countries, traitors, those who intended to rebel, those who accepted bribes, those who embezzled disaster relief funds, those who secretly abducted women, and those who trafficked in people, among other crimes.
When the onlookers heard this, they were shocked and extremely angry.
When they thought about how they had thought these ten people were innocent and were all being taken advantage of by the tyrant to exact revenge on them, they wanted to rush forward and give these ten scumbags a good beating!
Compared to the crimes committed by these ten people, what is a tyrant?!
And who knows if the title of tyrant is groundless!
"brute!"
"Shameless! Scum!"
“Go to hell!”
......
The people cursed and gnashed their teeth, and threw the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves in their hands at the heads and faces of the ten people!
Several executioners drank some wine and prepared to carry out the execution.
This time, Ying Xixi took a special look at Xiao Xieyun opposite her, and then stared at Caishikou, wanting to see the whole process of beheading with her own eyes.
But just like last time, when the executioner's knife fell, her eyes fell into darkness again, and the ambergris on Xiao Xieyun's body enveloped her.
Ying Xixi pulled away the big hands that were covering her eyes.
"Ayun, I want to see a beheading. I'm pretty brave, so I definitely won't have a nightmare!"
Ying Xixi said it with great confidence.
But Xiao Xieyun remained indifferent. "No, this scene is really scary. Ten heads rolling around, ten pairs of eyes staring wide open. Anyone who sees it will be scared and have nightmares."
Xiao Xieyun said this casually, and a picture appeared in Ying Xixi's mind.
"Okay, stop talking. The image is already there. I won't watch it anymore."
A smile appeared in Xiao Xieyun's phoenix eyes.
After the execution at Caishikou ended, Xiao Xieyun's reputation among the people of the capital gradually improved.
Ying Xixi felt that this was a good time to completely reverse Xiao Xieyun's reputation as a tyrant.
She wanted to ask Xiao Xieyun several times about his past and the origin of his reputation as a tyrant.
But every time Xiao Xieyun changed the subject or directly blocked her mouth, using practical actions to make her forget what she was going to ask.
After a few times, she also understood that perhaps some things that happened in the past were the knots in Xiao Xieyun's heart that had not yet been untied.
If you want to untie the knot in your heart, you need the right time, place and people.
Obviously now is not the best time.
But it doesn't matter, she is willing to wait.
After Ying Xixi stopped asking Xiao Xieyun about the past, Xiao Xieyun became a little restless.
He enjoyed his sweetheart's care for him, but now that his sweetheart no longer asked about his past, he felt itchy again.
He tried to probe her several times in a tactful way, making sure that his sweetheart didn't want to ask him about the past anymore.
But Xiao Xieyun wanted to tell Ying Xixi.
But before he could tell Ying Xixi everything she was curious about.
An expedited letter arrived in his hands from the border.
"Your Majesty! A letter has arrived from the border!"
Xiao Xieyun suppressed the smile in his eyes and took the letter with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Ying Xixi, who was standing by, had a bad feeling in her heart.
After reading the letter, Xiao Xieyun handed it to Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi took it and took a look.
The letter said that Linyue State had already sent troops to attack the border of Fufeng State. The other side was coming with great force and acting very boldly, and they were aiming to break through the border.
Now all the soldiers on the border are resisting stubbornly, but it is not enough. We urgently need your Majesty's support and solution.
Ying Xixi frowned, "Ah Yun, it seems that this battle must be fought. Lin Yueguo's intentions are very clear."
Xiao Xieyun rubbed his eyebrows and immediately made a plan.
"Xixi, there are not many reliable generals in Fufeng Kingdom nowadays. This time, I plan to go to the battle myself and lead the troops!"
Ying Xixi's eyebrows jumped, "Ayun, you, don't you want to discuss this with the other ministers?
Or discuss it with your confidant?
It is extremely important for the emperor to lead his troops to war!"
"Xixi, I have made up my mind. Now only if I go out to fight can we be sure to push the Linyue Kingdom back, or even invade it.
If we send other people, we might not be able to defend the border!
Even though I have cleared out a group of corrupt officials in the court, there are still corrupt officials among them, and corrupt officials are unreliable.
This is my kingdom, and I must defeat those who covet it!"
Xiao Xieyun's tone was firm, and his phoenix eyes were full of ambition and determination.
Ying Xixi knew that Xiao Xieyun had made up his mind about the important matter, so it was difficult to persuade him.
She didn't try to persuade him anymore, but instead pulled Xiao Xieyun to sit down and have a good discussion.
"Okay, Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I support you.
Then let me ask you, are you going to the battle yourself, but are you planning to mobilize a large army?"
Xiao Xieyun thought, "It's not really a big deal. I plan to gather all the soldiers in the capital tonight and then rush to the border overnight."
"Then should you make public the fact that you are leading troops to war?"
"It's not public, it's only publicized internally. Once the morning court session is suspended, the officials will definitely know about it. It can't be concealed.
