Early the next morning.

As soon as the morning dawned, several men gathered at the waiting corner, and when there were more pedestrians in the street, they began to make a commotion.

A man carried a gong and struck it vigorously on the street, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Everyone came to listen to me, and everyone knows about the rumors in the city these days. Princess Changning is the life-saving benefactor of our Qingzhou people, without her, as early as a few years ago, when there was a wave of refugees, our life might not be able to go on. And then there was smallpox, if the princess hadn't found a cure, maybe we wouldn't have survived a long time ago. In the drought last year, the princess went to Lingnan alone to bring back life-saving food for us. Counting it up, we Qingzhou people each owe her three lives. Now, she is suppressed by the imperial court and her life and death are uncertain, and her whereabouts are unknown, so we can't be indifferent! ”

The people nodded again and again, and some hot-blooded young people immediately couldn't hold back, "Then what are we going to do?" ”

The man carrying the gong said loudly: "Naturally, I want to go to the yamen to ask clearly, if the yamen says I don't know, let's go to Beijing and go to Kyoto to ask the emperor in person, what happened to our princess!" ”

As soon as it came to Beijing, the young people were a little hesitant.

They are all ordinary people, if they only make a fuss in Qingzhou City, they will never say a word, but going to Kyoto is really not a joke.

The man said: "Let's think about what the princess has done for us, and the sweet potatoes grown in the fields outside the city are also all found by the princess with great difficulty. I'm a rough guy and don't know much about it. I only know that in this world, in addition to my own father and mother, Princess Changning can let me respect for a lifetime. Because she saved the lives of our whole family. Now that she is in trouble, if I don't save her, I'm afraid that our family will go to hell if they die! ”

"It's a long way to get to Kyoto, but for the sake of the princess, no matter how far it is, I'll give it a try! What's more, no matter how far Kyoto is, can it be as far as Lingnan? At the beginning, the princess was for us, but she went to Lingnan twice, she was still able to do it with a girl's family, I am a big man, what are you afraid of! ”

As soon as the words fell, several men walked out of the crowd.

"This big brother is right! You can't be sorry for your conscience, the things that Princess Changning has done for our people, we can't repay in this life. Now that I finally have an opportunity to repay her, I will seize it! Count me in on the things that go to Kyoto! ”

"Count me in!"

"And me!"

The man carrying the gong looked moved, "Good, good!" Let's be in this together. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the crowd, "Is there anything else you want to go with?" ”

The crowd was already getting a little nervous.

The man said again: "The reason why the princess was beaten and oppressed by the court is that she has done too much for our people. The court can't get used to her being too good to us, and I'm afraid that if we have a princess in the future, we won't accept the control of the court, so the court will want to get rid of the princess! Can you really bear to watch the princess being killed? ”

At this moment, those hot-blooded young people couldn't hold back anymore, and jumped out one after another, shouting to seek justice for Princess Changning.

There was a hint of joy in the eyes of those men.

The man carrying the gong said in his throat again: "Let me tell you a good news, there are already several big families who are willing to give money to fund us to enter Beijing, and they are all people who have received the favor of the princess, in order to rescue the princess, they have generously donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to solve the problem of eating and drinking on the road for us." ”

Now, more people have come forward.

Those men stood on a high place, shouting slogans at the top of their voices: "Go to Kyoto, save the princess!" ”

The people who were stirred up also shouted.

The scene was chaotic.

On the city tower, Feng Zhizhou, the new governor of Qingzhou, looked at the chaotic appearance of a pot of porridge below, and was so anxious that he sweated on the top of his head.

He really couldn't understand why Prince Xiao had not let him take care of this matter.

No matter what, I can't control it. Once these people make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he will be the official.

In fact, as early as when there were rumors in the city, he was going to send someone to solve it, but just as he was about to act, he received a secret letter from Xiao Wangye, telling him what he meant, and he didn't have to solve it completely.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who sent the letter was a close confidant of Prince Xiao, he really had to wonder if the letter was forged.

These days, he has been following the instructions of Prince Xiao, only letting the officers and soldiers in the yamen pretend to manage the rumors on the surface, turning a blind eye to the rumors in private, and letting the people spread in private.

He probably guessed what Xiao Wangye wanted to do, but now it was already like this, and if he didn't stop it, it would really make a big fuss.

Under the city tower, those men took the lead, leading a large group of emotional people towards the yamen.

Feng Zhizhou was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, although he and his family had received instructions from Xiao Jingchen last night and moved out of the yamen in advance, but he was still anxious to get angry when he watched these people go to the yamen to make trouble.

Just as he was about to take people to the yamen to control the scene, someone suddenly pointed to the city gate and said, "My lord, look." ”

Feng Zhizhou followed the sound and looked down, only to see a large group of palace honor guards coming towards the city gate, there was a very conspicuous carriage in the honor guard, pulled by eight horses, followed by more than a dozen palace people, and guards, followed by a long line of guards and soldiers.

Before Feng Zhizhou came back to his senses, he heard a palace person shouting at the gate of the city: "The princess of the protector has arrived, Feng Ge, the governor of Qingzhou, and a group of officials will come to take over!" ”

This shout not only summoned Feng Zhizhou's divine consciousness back, but also the gods of the people in the city.

Feng Zhizhou tidied up his official robes, pulled his family members, hurriedly came down from the city tower, ran to the guard of honor and knelt down.

"Xiaguan Qingzhou Zhizhou Feng Ge, with his family to pick up the car, the princess is a thousand years old."

The people were still a little confused.

Didn't you say that the princess was beaten and oppressed by the imperial court, and her life and death were unknown? So what's going on with this in front of you?

Everyone stared at the carriage in a daze.

At this time, two palace people stepped forward and respectfully opened the curtain of the car.

Two palace people first came out of it, and then a tall figure came out of it, and then stretched out his hand and handed it into the car.

A slender white jade hand rested on the big hand.

Everyone held their breath, and their eyes didn't dare to blink as they looked at the chariot.

Lin Ruan was dressed in a princess's suit, walked out of the carriage with a full face, and said to Feng Zhizhou's family: "Flat." ”

Feng Zhizhou replied loudly: "Princess Xie." ”

Lin Ruan raised his eyes and looked at the gate of Qingzhou City, and then said to the people inside: "Folks, I'm back to see you." ”
