The whole place was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard. As everyone watched, the dark clouds above seemed to be pushed away by an invisible hand and slowly spread to both sides until warm sunshine spread across the world.
For a long, long time, no one recovered from their shock.
Even the Fourth Prince was stunned.
No, this is not a blessing! This cannot be explained by the word blessing at all. This is a miracle! A miracle!
Yan Shiyue was in the middle of it, and she didn't know her own situation. She just inferred from everyone's reactions that she had been blessed by some coincidence. In order to maintain her dignity, she was too embarrassed to look up, and only now did she calmly glance at everyone.
Although she looked serious, she was actually thinking: What should be the first sentence that would be more in line with her temperament?
Huo Qijing then rode forward a few steps and said coldly, "Your Highness took in the common people in the name of recruiting workers so that everyone could have a place to settle down, the elderly could rely on them, and the young could be taken care of. Your Highness made disinfectant powder to prevent the spread of the disease and save everyone from the pain of separation. Unfortunately, there are people with ulterior motives who mixed in with the people and maliciously slandered your reputation, so that last night, someone set fire to your Highness..."
He had obviously used his internal martial arts skills, and his voice had an effect like an echo that spread all around. Even people at the farthest point could hear it clearly, and the effect was completely shocking.
"Please think carefully. How much do three meals a day cost? How much do winter clothes cost? How much do good medicines cost? If Your Highness really wants to hire people for labor, why not just recruit strong men? Why do you always recruit a whole family? Can octogenarians and children really work? Such a simple account, you really can't do the math?"
He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Highness is so passionate and sincere, but you have been deceived by the treacherous people and repay kindness with resentment. It is really chilling."
...
...
Yan Shiyue was still sitting upright on the horse, shouting "six six six" in his heart, and he really wanted to applaud him.
Huo Xiaolang, well done.
The best knight in history, I will give you 100 points without worrying about your pride.
In her heart, she silently crossed out the label of "not talkative" and wrote "never talk nonsense". When it is necessary to speak, every word she says is worth a thousand gold and a thousand words!
Love him so much.
The waist is so thin, I want to touch it.
The fourth prince, who was the only one who was close and on the same horse, said: "..."
Girl, isn't it too much for you to peek at someone's butt at such a sacred and solemn moment?
It’s time for a girl to get married… the fourth prince thought deeply.
Before Huo Qijing could finish his words, a person suddenly jumped up from the crowd.
His face was filled with grief and anger, and he suddenly rushed towards someone: "It's you! It's you who said it, it's you who said that His Highness tortured the elderly and children! It's you who said that His Highness used poison powder to disguise the flour to poison! It's you!"
He punched and kicked the man: "It's all because of you, you traitor. You hate His Highness's people for driving you out of the manor, so you slander His Highness's reputation! If the manor is so bad, why do you curse every day and want to go back? Do you deserve to be punished? You liar!"
The man looked like a gangster. He tried his best to resist while saying, "Didn't you say it too? Didn't everyone say it? I'm not the only one saying it!"
"That's clearly what you said! I'll beat you to death!"
Several other people also jumped out and started punching and kicking. Everyone woke up as if from a dream, and immediately gnashed their teeth and rushed forward to attack.
Yan Shiyue frowned.
Huo Qijing grabbed her arm, shook his head at her, and signaled her not to care.
She also knew she shouldn't care.
People will always forgive themselves and beautify themselves easily. When a punishment from "God" is about to fall on their shoulders, only a few people feel ashamed after all, and most people will instinctively look for a scapegoat.
Yes, it was him, he deceived us! It's not my fault!
That’s the feeling, “punishing” the bad guys with your own hands and then feeling at ease.
Human life is worthless at a time like this, so letting them beat him to death with their own hands is the best way to calm the situation. He is not innocent anyway.
Yan Shiyue's eyes slowly swept over everyone.
She suddenly saw a young man in the corner.
At first glance, she thought she saw a younger version of Han Yi.
I'm not talking about the eyebrows and eyes, but the feeling, they are very similar.
But Han Yi is already in his twenties, and he has acquired that kind of temperament after years of polishing. This boy looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has a kind of, how to put it, alertness hidden under his ruffian spirit.
He was looking sideways at the people fighting over there, his eyes showing deep thought.
Yan Shiyue quietly called Jia He over and told him to bring this person to see her when no one was paying attention.
At this moment, the man had been beaten to death. At this time, the Longwu Army also rushed over and dispersed the crowd. Then Yan Shiyue asked Han Liang to bring the people who beat the man over.
Then the three of them turned their horses around, and the victims continued to kowtow to their backs.
After watching the three people enter the city gate, the people in the soup kitchen came to their senses and sent people to report the news to their families.
Princess Chun also sent someone back to the palace to report the news. After giving the instructions, she sat down and felt her back was wet with sweat.
It was only then that she began to recall.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have taken the initiative to provoke. If she had not revealed her identity first, how would others have recognized her? No one would have called out "Empress Fu", and everyone would not have gone to see, and there would not have been such a sensation just now!
But I couldn't help feeling scared.
When someone shouted, "Goddess Fu is here," everyone looked up, and then... the clouds broke and the light shone only on her. The sky that had been cloudy for several days suddenly cleared up...
She was flustered.
Is she really Empress Fu?
If she offended her, would it affect her offspring?
She covered her stomach and could no longer sit still, so she asked someone to prepare a carriage and returned home.
Han Liang asked someone to bring in a few disaster victims, and then invited them into the house to serve tea, while asking, "Your Highness, do you want to ask a question?"
Yan Shiyue said, "Keep the others at a distance and keep a close eye on them. The man who spoke first, the one whose hair was tied up with a colorful strip of cloth, you should have someone take him to a room and tie him up, and then we will go and interrogate him later."
Han Liang was slightly surprised.
But he was far away at first and didn't know the details, so he just responded and left quickly.
Huo Qijing said: "There is indeed something wrong with that man. Most of the holes in his clothes were caused by sharp objects. It seems that he deliberately pretended to be ragged."
Yan Shiyue was stunned: "Ah? Is that so? I didn't notice."
The fourth prince asked, "What did you notice? Why did you ask someone to take him down?"
Yan Shiyue immediately took a sip of tea and mentally dubbed to herself, "It's time to show off!"
She said, "Fourth brother, let me teach you a lesson. The characteristics of a lie are that it is detailed and thorough, and the description should have cause and effect... The normal way of speaking is to state the main point first."
She looked at him with a smile: "So, Fourth Brother, recall what that person said when he jumped up just now, do you understand?"
The Fourth Prince thought about it and nodded slowly.
"Yes!" he said seriously, "And after he said that, everyone understood why he beat people up. This is similar to what you said before, guiding public opinion and getting people to follow suit... He is obviously good at this!"
Yan Shiyue nodded vigorously, thinking that the Fourth Master was too smart! He could draw inferences from one example!
Jia He came in and said to her, "Master, that man has been brought in."
