Chapter 73: The Dog Emperor and the Dog Empress
"You're a foreigner, aren't you?" Someone asked faintly in the corner.
Yingyun walked over to the man and saw an old man shivering and squinting at them.
"Old man, do you know why the officers and soldiers arrested us?" Yingyun squatted beside him and asked.
The old man sighed and said, "It's not because the emperor is here, we all have homes and can't go back." A month earlier, the magistrate of the county issued a notice that people who were not in the county must be repatriated to their place of residence. Young and strong people can still walk and go, but how can we still withstand long-distance travel, maybe we will die in the middle of the road. Therefore, the officers and soldiers placed us here and held on day and night. ”
Yingyun became more and more puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" When the Holy Driver comes, what does it have to do with the people? ”
The old man said: "It's not clear, I heard that there is an order from above." Even the people of this county are not allowed to go out during the few days that the holy car is here. ”
Wushun accosted: "No, we are from the city, and there are many people on the street. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "That's not ordinary people, they are all pretending to be soldiers." ”
Pretending to be a common man?
Ying Yun thought back, no wonder she always felt that something was wrong, it turned out to be like this. That's why when she and Wushun were arrested, the people around them were so indifferent.
The economy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is prosperous, and the dry roads and waterways are all extending in all directions, and the Qing court has always been afraid of Jiangnan, and since entering the customs, there have been frequent riots and gangs against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Local officials must be worried about this, so they will take strict precautions to ensure that the holy car is foolproof in the territory under their jurisdiction.
Although the starting point is for the sake of the emperor, it is really not worth it to waste money and money like this.
The old woman in the other place was even more angry, trembling and said, "What is locked up? They also dug up our ancestral graves! Just because I want to build a road for the emperor, I also said that my family's grave is blocking the emperor's way......"
In the darkness, I don't know who cursed indignantly: "Dog Emperor! ”
Wushun listened to them scolding the emperor and was about to reason with them, but was stopped by Yingyun and signaled him not to add more trouble.
The people here are full of resentment towards the emperor, after all, their misfortune is all because of the emperor's southern tour, who is not to blame the emperor!
If they knew that Yingyun was the queen of the dog emperor, would they attack it en masse?
Ying Yun just thought about it, and then she had a chill down her spine, and obediently hid in a corner to the side, so as not to cause public anger.
Wushun stayed by her side and asked in a low voice, "Master, what now?" ”
Yingyun leaned on the thatch and rested, and said, "What else can I do, we can't go out now, let's sleep here for a while." We were caught by mistake by them, and there must be someone who is more anxious than us, so just wait for them to come to us. ”
Wushun said uneasily: "There is ...... in that palace"
"I can't care so much now," Ying Yun smiled and said, "I don't think the Dog Emperor will leave me alone!" ”
Wushun looked serious, when is this, how can the queen mother still joke so easily, and couldn't help muttering: "Say that the emperor is that...... What, mother, didn't you even scold yourself? ”
The wife of the dog emperor is naturally the dog queen!!
Yingyun knocked on his head door angrily and said, "That's a lot of words, sleep!" ”
