299 Kill, No One Left Alive
Being impeached by the Censor will not cost her life immediately, at most her reputation will be damaged a little. Her reputation is so bad, and she is still afraid of being impeached by the Censor. It's a joke.
Being impeached by the Censor might be a good thing. If the matter is made bigger, perhaps the affair between Princess Yaohua and Prince Chunyu can be exposed.
Everyone has their own little calculations, trying to make this impossible, which would damage the reputation of Dongling and Xiling. Beiling and Nanling should be happy to see it. As long as this matter is revealed a little, Feng Qingchen believes that Su Wan and Beiling Fengqian will be happy to exaggerate it...
After hearing Feng Qingchen's words, the guard no longer hesitated and drew his sword: "Get out of the way, anyone who blocks the way will die."
The cold light flashed, and the people who were watching the excitement were startled and retreated one after another.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. Although Feng Qingchen does not hold any official position, she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion after all. How dare the common people like them offend her?
Ordinary people love to watch the excitement, but they are also afraid of death. When the guards drew their swords, half of the onlookers left immediately, and the rest also retreated to make way for the guards, but...
The beggars who were making trouble refused to listen and banged their broken bowls even louder: "Murder, murder, Miss Feng got angry and killed someone in the street, Miss Guan took advantage of her power to bully people and take their lives."
The guards who were originally hesitant and didn't want to attack ordinary people, saw the beggars throwing tantrums, and the last bit of pity in their hearts disappeared. They walked forward with their knives in hand, and chopped down any beggars who blocked their way...
"Puff!" Blood splattered all over the ground. The man only had time to wail before falling to the ground. The rest of the beggars were kicked away by the guards before they could react.
The guards that Zhai Dongming gave to Feng Qingchen were not rookies, but veterans who had fought in the battlefield and seen blood. The murderous aura they exuded when they drew their swords could scare ordinary people to the point of peeing their pants.
Feng Qingchen and his guards were not soft-hearted people. They hesitated before because they didn't want their swords to come into contact with the people of Dongling and be stained with the blood of the people of Dongling. But it was obvious that these beggars were different from ordinary innocent people.
This group of people are not on a battlefield. Anyone who stands against their master is an enemy. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Even if these people have no power to fight back, the guards will not show mercy.
These beggars originally thought that the guards drew their swords just to scare them, but they didn't expect that the guards would really take action. At that moment, their eyes turned red and some were afraid and wanted to leave, but someone said something loudly.
"The daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty committed adultery before marriage, and now she treats the people like grass, killing them whenever she wants. She is tyrannical by nature. We will fight her. We have more people and we are afraid of what she will do. Let's fight her.
These rich and powerful people eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, but we are starving and freezing, with one meal full and the next hungry. Kill her, kill this rich lady who doesn’t treat us as human beings…”
These words brought out the darkest side of the beggars' hearts. There was no commoner who didn't envy the nobles, and no beggar who didn't hate the nobles who were high above and trampled on them. They had imagined countless times what it would be like if they were also born into a powerful family...
Normally they didn't have the guts to challenge the nobles' authority, but today they were in large numbers, so what was there to be afraid of...
Some people are instigating and some are taking the lead. They have already started the trouble. If they are caught, they will definitely be sentenced to death. They are not afraid of further trouble.
"Fight with them."
"That's right. Why do they have so much to eat while we can't even get enough to eat?"
After some incitement, the beggars who were about to retreat rushed forward again, looking determined to fight to the death.
How could a beggar say such words? Feng Qingchen sat in the carriage and sneered. Just as the beggars rushed up, Feng Qingchen's order was given.
"What are you standing there for? Why don't you take action? Are you waiting for this group of rioters to kill me before you take action?" Feng Qingchen ordered coldly.
She had known that the rumors would not end well, so she brought half of the guards in the mansion with her when she went out. Although there were only sixteen people, it was no problem for them to deal with the hundred or so ordinary people.
Since she wanted to make a scene, she might as well make a big one. She wouldn't be the one to suffer the consequences in the end anyway.
"Remember, don't let any of them escape."
"Yes." At this moment, the guards were even less polite. They were divided into two groups. Eight of them first protected the carriage in the middle to protect Feng Qingchen, and the other eight rushed to the periphery and surrounded the beggars. Anyone who rushed up was killed one by one, and anyone who ran out was also killed one by one.
If they are twice as many as us, we can surround them. But today they are outnumbered, so we can still use the tactic of encirclement.
Although Feng Qingchen's guards were brave and good at fighting, the other side had more people. A few beggars took advantage of the chaos to climb onto the carriage and tried to push open the door, but they didn't know how to open it...
Feng Qingchen was not in a hurry at all. He sat in the carriage without moving. He didn't move until the carriage started to shake. He glanced at the two maids and said half indifferently and half sarcastically: "What? You two are not taking action yet. Are you waiting for me, the master, to take action and protect you?"
"Miss? We..." The two maids turned pale and looked at each other, and found that the other person had the same look of anxiety and confusion as themselves.
How did the lady know that they knew horse martial arts? They obviously hid it very well.
"Do it. Don't force me to sell you out. Don't forget that your indentures are in my hands. If I want to sell you out or kill you, the Wang family has no right to interfere." Her silence doesn't mean she's stupid. She just thinks it's harmless and doesn't bother to pay attention.
But from the matter of the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen understood that the so-called harmlessness was only under the premise of not affecting the interests of the other party. The most reliable person in the world is oneself.
"Yes." The two maids did not dare to ask more questions, nor did they dare to hesitate. They immediately pulled out their belts and pulled out a whip from the middle of the cloth belt.
“Pah…”
With a whip, the beggars who had just climbed onto the carriage were whipped away one by one. The two women jumped off the carriage one after another and joined the battle.
The sounds of hacking, wailing, running, screaming, and crying all entered Feng Qingchen's ears one by one, but Feng Qingchen sat there quietly, as if he heard nothing.
She knew that someone would take advantage of this rumor to drive her to the bottom and make her unable to get up forever, but she didn't expect it would be such a vicious move.
They used beggars to trap her in a busy city. What would happen if she was humiliated by these beggars today?
Hahaha...it will become a joke. She, Feng Qingchen, will become a big joke, a symbol of shame. If by chance, she falls off the carriage and her clothes are torn off by these beggars, then she, Feng Qingchen, will be more pathetic than a joke.
The emperor would never allow her, a joke that brought shame to the people of Dongling, to live in the imperial city.
You have to know that she was almost a daughter-in-law of the royal family. The emperor let her go last time, but it doesn’t mean he will let her go this time. This time she was embarrassed in front of the other three countries.
What a sinister intention!
It's a pity that those people were destined to fail in their goal. She has never been a kind-hearted person. The people behind the scenes would never have thought that she would be so bold as to kill people under the emperor's feet and on the street, right?
If they had thought of this, they would not have arranged such a group of rubbish. Except for a few people leading the group, the rest of these hundreds of beggars are just a mob. They rushed forward with so-called passion and cynical hearts, thinking that they could win in this way. How naive they are.
In front of orthodox soldiers, all this enthusiasm is completely useless. They can't stand a fight at all. When the real fighting starts, only killing methods are the most effective.
Soon, the carriage was covered in blood, and dozens of corpses were lying on the ground. The onlookers dispersed early, and the shops and vendors also hurriedly packed up their things, closed their doors and left. Occasionally, there were some brave ones who just hid in the corner and watched secretly...
Feng Qingchen tapped lightly on the carriage, counting the time silently in his heart.
When something like this happened, the Nine Gates Admiral, Shuntian Prefecture Yi, and even Zhai Dongming, the person in charge of the safety of the imperial city, did not show up. It can be seen that...
Many people got involved here.
"Dongling Ziluo, Dongling Ziluo, how much do you hate me? You knew that the matter of Xiling Yaohua was the work of the Ninth Prince, but you took it out on me. You really are picking on the weak." Feng Qingchen shook her head. A man's affection can sometimes be ruthless, at least Dongling Ziluo was ruthless enough to her.
It's not that she is narrow-minded. She always blames Dongling Ziluo whenever something happens. There are really not many people who can hold back Zhai Dongming, the Nine Gates Admiral and Shuntianfu Yi. Among these few people, only Dongling Ziluo has a grudge against her.
Just like what is shown on TV, the police always show up after the victim dies and the suspect shows up. The same goes for the Dongling police. When the hundred or so beggars were almost all dead, the police showed up, all sweating profusely. Dumb people would actually think they were rushing over to rescue people.
These officials saw the scene of the Feng Mansion guards killing people from afar, and they were so frightened that their pupils dilated and their legs trembled.
My dear uncle, this is totally different from what they expected. Miss Feng actually killed someone in the street. How did she get the courage? What should we do about this?
They stood there in a daze, hesitating whether to move forward or run back to their own masters to find new countermeasures. This was different from what they had said before. They were here to clean up the mess, but not this kind of mess...
"Miss, the police are here." The two maids were both very smart. Upon seeing this situation, they immediately told Feng Qingchen and asked her to think of a response plan in advance.
"Move faster, don't leave any one alive, and stab those who are not dead." Feng Qingchen gave the order to silence them mercilessly.
Since she has already taken action, there is no need to leave anyone alive to testify against her. If she says that this group of people are rioters, then they are rioters, because there is no evidence to prove it...
"Yes." The two maids understood what Feng Qingchen meant, and the guards outside also understood the seriousness of the matter. The knives in their hands became more and more ruthless, and every blow was deadly.
If we don't kill these people, they will be the ones who suffer!
A word to the readers: I really don’t want to torture Qingchen... Jiuqing, I have thought about him too. The recent plot is focused on the Imperial City, and I will try my best to let him out.
