What's the use of Chapter 106?
Wei Mingliang was sitting below Xiao Jingfan and was keenly aware of this change.
He couldn't tell exactly what had changed, but two words suddenly popped into his mind: danger.
His intuition made him look at the Emperor Sheng Guo who was sitting above him. The faint smile in his eyes gradually dissipated, revealing the scrutiny and consideration in his eyes.
The young emperor was angry, and furious.
Just for an unjust case, a few plays, or the common people’s misunderstanding of Dengwengu?
No, that's not right!
He must have overlooked something.
Wei Mingliang lowered his eyes and looked away. He reached for a long piece of plum blossom-shaped pastry, put it to his lips and chewed it bit by bit.
What did he overlook?
On the other side, Chu Liuzheng was complaining, and he was very angry when he thought of his own home.
[No matter how beneficial the government decrees issued by the emperor are to the people, they will be useless if they cannot be implemented on the people. If we had to pay such weird taxes, why would my family be so poor? Why would I sell myself into the palace just to survive for my family? 】
【My precious youth! ! All wasted in this cannibal palace! 】
Chu Liuzheng gritted his teeth, wishing that the tyrant would suddenly show his power and catch all the corrupt officials who had devised clever excuses.
[Nowadays, corrupt officials are rampant, and under the protection of officials, the people have no way to appeal. Play is a good outlet. 】
[Having seen too many such elaborate dramas, and being misled by officials with ulterior motives with rumors, don’t the people believe that those who complain will be tortured and then exiled? 】
[If you beat the Dengwen drum, you will be tortured and exiled; if you don't beat the Dengwen drum, you can tolerate it and get by. When surrounded by voices such as "Forget it", "Be patient", "The people will not fight with the officials", "The emperor will not care about the affairs of the small people", who can still muster the courage to beat the Dengwen drum? 】
[Besides, there are still people who are obstructing and deliberately misleading. In the long run, won’t the bridge of face-to-face communication between the emperor and the people across classes be broken? 】
Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
[Except for the founding emperor, the successor is a prince by birth, with gold and jade, surrounded by brocade and jade. The place where he spends most time is the palace, followed by the capital. When traveling, there are guards to clear the way. Everywhere you look is brocade. How? Can you sympathize with the suffering of the people at the bottom? 】
[The tyrant is really diligent in his work, and he runs desperately on the road to staying up late and dying suddenly every day. What is the result? The sky is high and the emperor is far away, his ears are blocked, his eyes are blindfolded, and his hands and feet are not very responsive. No matter how hard his commanding brain works, what's the use except exhausting himself to death in advance? 】
The anger rushing in Xiao Jingfan's chest suddenly stopped, and these four words kept echoing in his mind - what's the use?
At this moment, Zhao Yue, who was stunned by Xiao Jingfan's question, also began to answer: "The father of Minnu once saw a man who wanted to play the Dengwen drum. The man was first intimidated by the guards, so he endured the fear and picked up the drumstick. Before he could even beat the drum, he was taken away by a guard in light armor and never came back.”
"Not only the father of the folk girl has seen it, but also heard from many customers when the folk girl helped the father and mother sell cooking cakes. They also saw people who wanted to beat the drum but were taken away by the guards. Those people Their relatives and friends have never seen them again.”
"So..."
Do you believe in cold official documents or the reality you see with your own eyes?
The vast majority of people will choose the latter.
Zhao Yue's voice became softer: "Everyone thinks that what Mr. Heguan's relatives said in the play is true."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan clenched the Bodhi beads string tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands popped out, making his slender jade-like hands look a bit ferocious.
"Ha!"
A sneer escaped from the corner of his lips. For the first time, he discovered that when people are angry to a certain extent, they will laugh.
His inexplicable smile made everyone look over.
Some people were trembling with fear, some were suspicious and curious, and Chu Liuzheng had a puzzled look on his face.
[The werewolf sister's complaint can be considered as exposing Deng Wengu's evil in front of the tyrant. Shouldn't the tyrant be angry and send people to investigate thoroughly? Why are you laughing so suddenly? It was so scary that I had goosebumps. 】If his hand was not injured, Chu Liuzheng would rub his arm anyway.
Xiao Jingfan ignored this voice and slowly put the Bodhi beads back on his wrist. At the same time, he also suppressed the surging anger and murderous intention in his heart.
Three feet of ice cannot be frozen in one day, just one step! step! Come!
When he raised his eyes again, his eyes had returned to calmness and his tone was as usual: "Tell me about your parents' grievances."
"Oh, okay."
Unexpectedly, the topic would change so quickly. Zhao Yue responded blankly, and then remembered that the person in front of him was the emperor. Thinking that it would not be strange to pay homage to so many people, he leaned over and kowtowed again, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, civilian daughter Zhao Yue." , my father Zhao Shan, my mother..."
These words have been repeated in her mind countless times. She enunciates clearly, logically, and speaks neither too fast nor too slowly.
Everyone listened quietly, and as she spoke, many people's expressions changed, ranging from sympathy to indifference.
"...The father and mother died tragically. The daughter had no way to appeal and could not sleep at night. When she was desperate, she pretended to deal with Li Youcai, killed his son, wounded him and his family members, and escaped from the Li Mansion. Fortunately, she was rescued by Princess Yujin. ”
"Killing must be punished with life. People's daughters know that they are wrong and do not want to defend themselves. People's daughters are willing to plead guilty. However, the grievances between the parents of people's daughters are as bad as snow. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for the parents of people's daughters and severely punish the villains and dog officials! ”
At the end, Zhao Yue couldn't help but burst into tears, thinking of her parents who were beaten to death, and her voice was choked with sobs.
Jade pendant was also crying silently.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Just listening to the verbal description made her feel frightened, not to mention that Xiaoyue had experienced it herself, which made her even more distressed.
Her sister grew up and suffered.
Before Xiao Jingfan could get angry, Princess Gaochang was so angry that she put down the wine bottle and clapped her hands in anger: "Taking human life for granted! Such villains should be severely punished!"
She slapped the table so fast that the maid behind her had no time to stop her and had to close her eyes in pain.
‘Ka——’
There was a crisp sound, and the long table made of chicken wing wood in front of Princess Gaochang slowly cracked and broke into two halves.
Cups and dishes fell to the floor, clattering, hitting everyone's sensitive nerves hard.
Yu Shui and Zhao Yue:? ! !
Both of them were so shocked that they forgot to cry.
Others:! ! !
His eyes almost popped out of his head.
[Wow~ It’s really Princess Hercules, the system won’t deceive me! 】
Xiao Jingfan, who was also surprised, froze, what kind of princess?
[If Princess Hercules were to have a fight with the tyrant, would the tyrant lose? It is said that the value of force determines the throne of the family. Well... the tyrant should be lucky that he is an emperor, and Princess Hercules should not dare to beat him. 】
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
"It's because the long table is not strong, and it has nothing to do with my princess." The maid hurriedly and skillfully made up for her princess, selectively ignoring the equally cracked palm prints on the long table that was split in two, and pointed to the middle with great conviction. , "Look, there is a crack on it!"
Princess Gaochang expertly agreed: "Yes, there is a gap. It has nothing to do with me. My strength is not strong at all."
Everyone: "..."
Damn there is a seam, that’s the wenge pattern, okay? !
Also, what does "not strong at all" mean? Do you dare to say "there is no three hundred taels of silver here"?
Xiao Jingfan calmly took a deep breath and then calmly ordered: "Change Princess Aida's hair."
Isn't it just that he is a little stronger? It's strange that he's not surprised, not surprised at all...! What the hell kind of princess is this! !
