Chapter Seventy-Four: Convincing the People

After Shen Zeyuan and his entourage explained to the people the purpose of their coming to their hometown, the people obviously distrusted Shen Zeyuan and them, and they all stood in a row and formed a pedestrian wall.

"We're really here to help you solve the problem, what are you doing here?" Song Shuyan said a little anxiously when he saw the people stopping them.

"If we don't stop you now, you will definitely make our lives more miserable than they are now, don't think that we are all fools, we have already been fooled, this time I don't believe you rich children and people with official positions," the villagers who led the way to stop Shen Zeyuan seemed to be very excited.

Shen Zeyuan's eyes flashed when he heard him say this, as if he had caught some news, and said, "What do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, don't pretend that you don't know anything, it was you so-called high-ranking officials, children of rich families, who came to us to detain us everywhere under the pretext of saying that they wanted to help us, and we were seriously corrupt, we thought that the emperor would be the master for us, but these things are always over, and now that you are here, we will not be fooled" The leading villager said, attracting a group of people to echo him.

"Is that really the case?" Shen Zeyuan said as he looked at everyone and frowned.

"Of course, we can still lie to you, we were worse than dead in those days, and there were several children in the family who were starved to death because the family had no money and no food, you say, such a young child, just left," the leader said with tears in his eyes, "It's not because of you people, you don't care about the lives of our people at all." ”

Song Shuyan heard him say this, although she wanted to refute it, but she still endured it, everyone's life is different, although she is distressed about what they have experienced, she is also powerless, after all, some things cannot be changed casually.

Shen Zeyuan looked at the villagers, frowned, just took a few steps forward and was pushed back, Shen Zeyuan's guards were dissatisfied, went up to theorize, the two sides quarreled, and some people with bad tempers actually began to move.

Song Shuyan was protected behind him and could only be anxious, looking at both sides and refusing to back down, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"That's enough, you all step back for me," Shen Zeyuan said as he looked at the guard who almost injured the people by protecting himself, his face was already full of anger.

The guard knew that he had made a mistake, and looked at Shen Zeyuan and didn't dare to say a word, so he silently stepped aside.

Song Shuyan saw that both sides had calmed down, and hurriedly walked to Shen Zeyuan's side and said, "It seems that it will definitely not work to break through, this group of villagers are too stubborn." ”

"I know, this situation is really annoying right now," Shen Zeyuan sighed, his face softened a little.

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want to go in?" Song Shuyan glanced at the people and frowned, his eyes full of worry.

"Of course you have to go in, otherwise how can you handle the things you have to deal with," Shen Zeyuan rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was very tired.

Song Shuyan glanced at Shen Zeyuan, and saw that the people on the other side were still angry, and couldn't help but step forward and said: "I know what I would be so resistant to us in your hearts, I don't blame you, but can you believe us once, we are really here to help you sincerely, those corrupt officials before must have been embezzled by helping you, as for the emperor, why didn't he know that it must be because some of them colluded up and down, it's not that the emperor doesn't know it, but these people are too bad," Song Shuyan looked at everyone, and his tone was very sincere.

Some villagers were already a little moved when they looked at Song Shuyan, but they still blocked in front of them and prevented them from passing.

Song Shuyan looked at everyone and took a deep breath and said: "I know that you are not unreasonable people, think about it, if we are really like those corrupt officials, we don't have to waste so many tongues with you, and you can't help us if you go in directly, right?"

"But even if you say that, who knows it's not your routine," the leader frowned, as if he had begun to hesitate.

"We don't have this need at all," Song Shuyan suddenly raised his voice and said, "I, I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he is the seventh prince of the dynasty, why should we do those vulgar things, and please speak from your heart, if we want to hurt you, he won't let his guards retreat just now, she just does it because she doesn't want to hurt you." ”

Everyone looked at Song Shuyan and was silent for a while, and they didn't know what they were thinking, but Song Shuyan had a premonition inexplicably, as long as she tried to say more, this group of simple villagers would make way for them.

"I know that your life is very hard, and a lot of food is grown by yourself, so I won't do those shameless things, what's more, how can he, as a dignified Seventh Prince, rob your things, didn't you say that you have a lot of corrupt officials here, you can tell him slowly, when we return to the capital, we will definitely find those corrupt officials and let them be punished," Song Shuyan looked at everyone and stretched out his hand to pull the corner of Shen Zeyuan's clothes and said, " Don't just look at the excitement, but say a few words, my Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. ”

Shen Zeyuan looked at the dry-mouthed Song Shuyan and smiled, and said to the villagers who were blocking in front of him: "I am Shen Zeyuan, the Seventh Prince, I am willing to vouch, as long as you trust me, I will go back to Beijing to help you punish those corrupt officials, but I need your confession, I think you should also understand that these things need evidence, don't you?"

"This ...... How do we know if you are framing us," some people looked at Song Shuyan and the two hesitated.

"This can always be proven," Song Shuyan took the jade pendant from Shen Zeyuan's waist and said, "This jade pendant, I believe that there must be a water heater among you, isn't it?"

"This," a person walked up and carefully looked at the jade pendant in Song Shuyan's hand, and it didn't take long for him to blush excitedly and turn to look at the group of people: "This is indeed a royal thing, but people from high-ranking officials may also have it." ”

Song Shuyan was angry for a while when he heard him say this, and he didn't know what to say, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Otherwise, I will vouch for my life, they are definitely good people, if they dare to treat you badly, I will punish you however you want, okay?"

When the people heard Song Shuyan say this, they hesitated to make way for Shen Zeyuan and them.

Shen Zeyuan was a little surprised, looked at Song Shuyan and said, "You still have a way, thanks to you." ”

Song Shuyan smiled proudly, waved his hand and walked forward, looking very chic.
