Chapter 173: Eliminating Harm for the People

Yan Zixi glanced at Zhao Rushen coldly, and deliberately pretended not to know and asked.

"Lord Zhao, what's wrong. It's really lively in front of your house? Are all these people here to give thanks to Dade? ”

Zhao Rushen heard Yan Zixi's mocking question, his face turned pale, and he hesitated for a moment before he replied with a fist.

"Back to Princess Xiao's words, these people who didn't know where they came from actually falsely accused the lower officials, saying that the lower officials embezzled the money for the flood relief, isn't this nonsense and rumors? Xiaguan has suffered a great grievance, Princess Xiao and Prince Xiao, you have to be aware of everything! ”

Saying that, Zhao Rushen wiped his tears in public, which was really disgusting.

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, there seemed to be a trace of anger in his deep eyes, and he was barely suppressed by Xiao Jingcong, he glanced at these people outside the mansion again, and asked Zhao Rushen, "Then according to Lord Zhao, these people have wronged you?" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Rushen to answer, the victims and people who were kneeling in front of the mansion did not agree at first.

They were bustling there and making a fuss: "Lord Wang, don't listen to this dog official!" This dog official is the person in charge of the disaster relief money, and the Chen County Commander is just doing things for him. Now Chen Xianling has been killed inexplicably, and he has become the scapegoat of this dog official! ”

"Yes, yes, this dog official can fish and meat us ordinary people on weekdays, and even the disaster relief money allocated by the court can be embezzled, this is all life-saving money, Lord Wang, you have always been selfless, please be the master for us!"

"Ask the prince to be the master for us and eliminate harm for the people!"

"Eliminate harm for the people......"

"Eliminate harm for the people......"

Those victims raised their hands one after another and responded, scolding Zhao Rushen's crimes in their mouths, hoping that Xiao Jingcong could make decisions for them.

Although some of them were planted by Xiao Jingcong in advance, most of them were spontaneous, and it is conceivable how many hurtful things Zhao Rushen has done in the thirty or forty years since he became the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture. So much so that it was able to stir up such a big resentment among the people.

On weekdays, Zhao Rushen can use the power in his hands to wantonly suppress these scattered ordinary people.

But today is different, today it is organized and premeditated.

Originally, the ordinary people who watched the excitement also had confidence in their hearts, and they shouted and scolded there together.

"Shut up, all shut up to this official!" Zhao Rushen was furious, and hurriedly turned around and scolded the officers and soldiers under him: "Are you all rice buckets? What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and blast all these people away! ”

Zhao Rushen didn't dare to let these victims stay here anymore and talk about his crimes, now Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao already know that if they continue to make a big fuss and make trouble to the emperor, then he won't be able to eat and leave. Zhao Rushen would never let such a thing happen.

Absolutely not!

No one wants to pull him off the horse, it's just a bunch of people, as long as they can be sent away as soon as possible......

However, his wishful thinking did not start, and Xiao Jingcong's words ruthlessly shattered Zhao Rushen's dream.

"Stop! Stop it all for this king! Xiao Jingcong stopped those officers and soldiers, and snorted coldly: "Do you want to abuse force to harm these innocent civilians?" ”

"This ......" When the guards heard Xiao Jingcong's words, they each looked at me, I looked at you, hesitated, didn't know what to do, and finally shifted their eyes to Zhao Rushen, seeking Zhao Rushen's meaning.

Zhao Rushen was shocked, and the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, he peeked at Xiao Jingcong in front of him, and said in his heart, What kind of medicine is sold in this Xiao Wangye's gourd? Did he deliberately stir up trouble with himself today?

Just when Zhao Rushen was staring at Xiao Jingcong with a deep face, Xiao Jingcong also spoke again.

"Lord Zhao, you don't care how these people frame and talk nonsense, there is a way that the pure are self-purifying, this king absolutely believes that Lord Zhao has suffered an injustice, we love Ming like this, how could Lord Zhao, who is honest and honest, do such a stupid thing?!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Xiao, you still know the lower officials! With your words, the lower officials will feel much more at ease! ”

Zhao Rushen heard that Xiao Jingcong was defending himself, his face immediately softened, and he said to Xiao Jingcong with a grin, but the next moment, the smile on Zhao Rushen's face disappeared, and he became panicked and stiff.

Not for anything else, just because Zhao Rushen heard what Xiao Jingcong said next.

"Lord Zhao, since you have been wronged, then don't worry about anything, this king sees, it is better to let those people send a few representatives, and go to your mansion with this king to search, if Lord Zhao is really innocent, then there must be nothing, in this way, you can also calm the anger of these people, Lord Zhao, you are okay, right?!"

"This ......" Zhao Rushen's face was like ashes, his body shook suddenly, he raised his head and glared at Xiao Jingcong, that old face had already turned into a bitter gourd face.

"This Lord Xiao, what tricks do you want to play?!"

Zhao Rushen muttered silently in his heart, fortunately, he had already transferred all the stolen money in the Shuntian Mansion, even if he asked Xiao Jingcong and them to bring people in to search, they would not be able to find anything famous. Soon, Zhao Rushen calmed down, with a hint of a smile on his face, and replied to Xiao Jingcong.

"What Lord Xiao said is very true! In this case, Prince Xiao can select some people from these ordinary people to go into the mansion to search together, so as to replace the innocence of the official! "Lazy people listen to books

Xiao Jingcong nodded, "Well, the search must be searched, Lord Zhao is anxious to clear his suspicions, and this king can also understand it." But Lord Zhao, we really searched, you won't object, right? ”

"What did Lord Xiao say?! Lord Xiao is selfless, and it is really good to have you leading those people to search! ”

"Well, that's good!"

Xiao Jingcong responded with satisfaction, looking like he had succeeded in his plan, then turned around and shouted to the people gathered outside the mansion.

"Everybody's heard, right? Lord Zhao has already agreed that you will follow this king into the mansion to search, now we will set off immediately and go to Lord Zhao's mansion!" ”

"Go to Zhao Mansion, go to Zhao Mansion ......"

Xiao Jingcong responded, and even took those disaster victims and people towards Zhao Rushen's house.

At this moment, Zhao Rushen is completely blindfolded.

"What? Didn't you search this Shuntian Mansion? ”

Yan Zixi walked past Zhao Rushen with a smile and said meaningfully: "Lord Zhao, this Shuntian Mansion is just your office, of course it is your residence if you want to search?" What are you doing here? Why don't you go back and open the door to welcome the search of the prince and the people?! ”

After speaking, Yan Zixi covered her mouth, walked down the steps, and followed the mighty army.

"Broken, broken, broken, broken......"

Zhao Rushen reacted at this time, his complexion changed greatly, and he called out several times "broken" in his mouth!

"Woe to you, woe to you! This Xiao Jingcong really has the means! ”

"My lord, what are we going to do now?" An officer and soldier guard walked over and asked suspiciously.

Zhao Rushen kicked on the guard's body, and scolded angrily: "Damn, it's all your useless rice buckets, even those Diao people can't get rid of it, and you provoked Prince Xiao, it's okay!" I tell you, if I'm finished, none of you will be able to escape! What are you doing in a daze, quickly prepare a horse for this official! ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

The guard didn't even dare to say a word, and immediately ran to the stable and pulled out a fast horse for Zhao Rushen.

Without saying a word, Zhao Rushen rode on the fast horse and ran towards his house with a whip, hoping to rush home before Xiao Jingcong and his party arrived.

……

Xiao Jingcong led a team of hundreds of people through the streets and alleys, attracting many passers-by along the way.

"Isn't this the Prince Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion? Where is he going with these people? ”

"What? You don't know yet, do you? I heard that Yin Zhao Rushen of Gyeonggi Province embezzled the money used for this flood relief, and Xiao Wangye is in charge of investigating this matter, and now he is taking these victims to Zhao Rushen's house to search! ”

"That Zhao Rushen should have been thoroughly investigated a long time ago! It's really an eye-opener, Lord Xiao must not be soft-hearted! ”

"Don't worry, Prince Xiao is a general who has really led soldiers and fought in battles, and he is upright, iron-faced and selfless, if he really finds out that this matter is related to Zhao Rushen, he will definitely not bend the law for personal gain!"

"That's great! Zhao Rushen usually fishes and fleshes us, the people, everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak, and finally stands up to a person who dares to take care of things! ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Xiao is really our Qingtian master! Now we are saved! ”

……

Yan Zixi heard passers-by praise Xiao Jingcong one after another, and some even gave a thumbs up, not to mention the pride in her heart.

It turns out that being praised by the people is this feeling, and it is even more enjoyable than winning a 5 million lottery jackpot!

Later, we must show ourselves well to Xiao Jingcong and those people, and we can't lose the face of our princess Xiao.

Yan Zixi, who had made up her mind, quickly followed, and walked side by side with Xiao Jingcong, and soon, their group came to the door of Zhao's mansion, ready to go in and search carefully.

Several family members at the gate of Zhao's Mansion saw that so many people had gathered outside at once, and the second monk was puzzled, and his face showed timidity.

Just when they didn't know what to do, Zhao Si, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, walked out menacingly.
