Chapter 262 The Sick and Vicious Soldier and His Iron-Blooded and Cold-Faced General 41
When they arrived outside the General's Mansion, they discovered that the front of the Mansion was already filled with citizens from the capital. However, even though the place was full of people, the street was still so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Eunuch Li's voice when delivering the imperial decree was so loud that those standing outside the general's mansion could hear everything it said.
They looked silently at the people trapped by the sword-wielding soldiers, until their eyes fell on the general who had returned triumphantly a few days ago. The silent crowd finally burst out, and they all shouted in unison:
"The general must have been wrongly accused! Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Ji Bai paused slightly, then turned his eyes to look at the people who were filled with emotion.
Each of their faces turned red from shouting so loudly, and the veins on their necks were exposed.
"We have all seen how many members of the Jiang family died on the battlefield for the Tianqi Kingdom. The general has absolutely no intention of rebellion! Your Majesty, please be clear!"
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
The people surrounding the General's Mansion knelt down in a sea of people, their faces sincere and their voices humble and pleading: "Your Majesty, please look into this!"
Ji Bai stared at them for a moment, his eyes showing no emotion at all. After a long time, he retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and continued walking forward.
Eunuch Li, who followed him out, had done many things for the emperor, but he had never seen a scene like today. He was startled at first, then quickly calmed down and said to the people on the street: "Your Majesty cherishes all loyalty. The assassination weapon appeared in the general's mansion. When Your Majesty learned of this news, he was also in pain and distress, but the country has its own laws. Your Majesty still chose the law despite being extremely distressed."
"But His Majesty thought of the General's Mansion's contribution to Tianqi State, so he did not execute him immediately, but imprisoned him in the prison. During this period, the Privy Councilor will still investigate carefully and find out the cause! If the result is still the same as today..."
Eunuch Li paused for a moment and changed the subject, "Your Majesty cherishes loyalty and serves the people. He will never do anything to slander loyal officials!"
When the people heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Some were even moved to tears. They all kowtowed and said, "Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
Jiang Yunjun opened her mouth to speak, but the person in front of her gave her a cold look, and she subconsciously closed her mouth.
818, who was flying nearby, watched the scene and said, "The emperor of this world does a really good job on the surface. No one actually doubts him."
[But it’s not their fault. The city gates are strictly guarded, almost to the point where only people can leave but not enter. They are completely isolated in the capital, and the news of the people’s miserable lives in the outside world is also blocked outside the city. ]
818 looked at the data board in front of him and calculated for a while, then he said:
[The Eighth Prince who was driven to Lingshan Temple was also anxious. He did not go to the people outside the city to improve their reputation, but invested all his money in his army. In addition, the officials at all levels were corrupt and plundering. There was no need to wait for the Turkic invasion in half a year. The people who could not bear it could rise up in rebellion at any time.]
Ji Bai nodded slightly, and suddenly noticed a gaze. He turned his head to look somewhere and saw Xiao Xiechuan standing in a hidden corner.
The moment he looked over, he immediately moved, but was quickly held down by five big men.
Ji Bai turned his eyes to look at the gentle man beside him, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this was the Fifth Prince.
The gentle man waved the fan in his hand at him, his thin lips moving slightly.
Ji Bai stared at him for a while, then nodded slightly at him, turned his gaze back and got on the carriage.
The Fifth Prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him get on the carriage.
What he said just now was: "If I don't bring Xiao Xiechuan to take a look, the palace will be demolished by him. You are very smart and will never enter the cage so easily, so I am afraid that he will interrupt your plan, so I can only bring five big men to suppress him. I won't hurt him, don't be angry."
Except for the last sentence, the rest were all drafts he had thought about several times.
He had not intended to say the last sentence from the beginning, but he clearly felt it....
When the big man held Xiao Xiechuan down, the aura around the general who was said to be cold and ruthless was obviously unusual for a moment.
But he suppressed his emotions very well, and the murderous intent was light and faint. If he had not lived in the intrigue-filled palace since childhood and was not familiar with murderous intent, he would not have been able to detect the general's emotions at that moment.
This trip was not in vain, at least he knew that the general was on his side.
Although they would not help him, at least they would not harm Xiao Xiechuan and hinder their plans.
The fifth prince felt a little relaxed, but he was silent again the next second.
Looking at the five sturdy men who were sweating profusely while massaging him and Xiao Xiechuan, who was harder to massage than a New Year pig, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his temples.
The general is obviously a calm, cool and intelligent person, so why would he fall for such a...person?
He began to persuade her kindly: "If you rush to rescue the general now, not only will you be imprisoned in the general's mansion for assassinating the emperor, but it will also disrupt the general's plan."
Xiao Xiechuan's dark eyes were cold, with a hint of bloodthirstiness flashing in them. He broke free from the restraints of the five big men, then walked behind him with a gloomy look in his eyes, and said with a cold and murderous look: "Then I will go and kill that dog emperor!"
Fifth Prince: !!!!
The gentleness on his face disappeared immediately, and he followed in panic: "Calm down first."
Xiao Xiechuan seemed to be unable to hear anything and walked forward with a gloomy and cold look in his eyes.
"The general asked me to give this to you."
A man dressed in a general's uniform came over and handed over a letter.
The fifth prince looked at him warily. Seeing this, the man quickly explained, "The general has done me a favor."
Xiao Xiechuan fell silent when he heard the word "General".
He turned his pace slightly, walked in front of the soldier, reached out to take the letter, and then carefully unfolded it...
The Fifth Prince was silent for a moment as he watched the mad wolf transform into a well-behaved puppy immediately after he unfolded the letter. Then he walked to his side curiously to look at the contents of the envelope.
After seeing the contents of the envelope, he fell silent again.
There were only two words in the letter:
"Be good."
He looked up at Xiao Xiechuan, who wanted to destroy the world one second ago, like the King of Hell who walked out of the underworld, but turned into a good little white rabbit the next second because of two simple words on the envelope. He opened his mouth and closed it again. After struggling for a long time, he could only curse silently in his heart:
Damn love brain!
