Chapter 31: The King's Jokes

In the end, the few masked people left behind were also more or less injured, trying to escape but trapped in them, watching the weapons gradually approach, the end of the sword almost touching their throats.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting on the street, and then both of them were attracted to the downstairs. In the blink of an eye, the masked man slipped away, Yan Zi looked very displeased, flew down and grabbed Bai Jikao's neck and scolded angrily, "What's your name!" Is it not intentional! ”

Bai Jikao was pinched tightly, and it took a long time to barely burst out a few words from between his teeth, "No, no, I, I, cough cough ......"

Yan Zi was really angry, the strength in his hand was extremely great, Bai Jikao only felt that his face was getting redder and redder, and there was no trace of breath in his throat, and the feeling of suffocation rushed straight to his brain.

Seeing that he was speechless and had already begun to roll his eyes, Sheng Linsheng was worried that people would really die if he continued like this, so he hurriedly went up and knocked on Yan Zi's hand. Yan Zi was unwilling to let go.

The throat can finally be breathed in and out again, and the fresh air falls into the lungs and feels much better, Bai Jikao coughed a few times and hurriedly explained.

"I didn't mean to, it's not scared. Can't you shout when you're afraid? Do you have to watch the murderer stab himself before he comes to his senses? It's human instinct to scream, is it good! ”

"Humph!" Yan Zi snorted from his nostrils, and sneered at Bai Jikao with disdain, "A dignified seven-foot man is actually afraid of this." See what is the use of your hands and shoulders that you can't resist! It's just a pedantic and sour talent, I really overestimate you! ”

"Haha" was so embarrassed by Yan Zi's words, Sheng Linsheng was very happy to hear it, and this kind of joy from the heart was secretly heard by others even if he tried his best to hide it.

At least Yan Zi and Bai Jikao could hear it clearly, but Yan Zi didn't care and looked at Bai Jikao to see how this sharp-toothed sour talent could deal with it. Who knew that this fair and delicate man was so cheeky, and he was not ashamed but refuted Yan Zi with eloquence.

"Your Majesty's words are slightly biased, since ancient times, foreign civil and military affairs have been cultivated. It's like Your Majesty can be martial, and the grass people can be literate. Your Majesty laughs at the shortcomings of the grass people with their own advantages, just as the grass people laugh at your Majesty's shortcomings with their own advantages. His Majesty naturally felt that it was unfair, and the grass people on the contrary thought the same way. So in the face of His Majesty's ridicule, the grass people can only say different, but they have the same goal. After all, the grass people also want to serve the country. "Bai Jikao's words are vigorous and majestic. It's as if an impassioned poet is talking on the cusp of a storm, which makes people laugh and cry.

"Haha" Yan Zi was powerless and didn't want to refute, what else could he say when he was so brazen that he couldn't be knocked down with any words.

"Hurry up and find out where these people are coming from!" Yan Zi turned around and ordered Sheng Linsheng beside him.

Sheng Linsheng nodded and went out immediately, but when he passed by, he couldn't help but pause, and glanced at Bai Jikao with warning eyes not to mess around when he was not there.

Bai Jikao shrugged his shoulders, took his eyes with a ruffian smile, and then melted into his back lightly. Sheng Linsheng looked very angry but not easy to attack, after all, the business was important, so he had to pretend that he couldn't see anything and went out with the sword.

The murderers were driven out, and the people opened the door little by little, and the refugees hiding outside also came out. Everyone looked at this cold and powerful woman, and knelt down and saluted.

"Grass people, see Her Majesty the Empress!"

"See Her Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!" The people of the whole city knelt down coaxingly, and this scene was like a huge wave coming from the mountains and seas, and the cries were also coming one after another. In the center of 10,000 people, Yan Zi bloomed like a white lotus, everyone prostrate at her feet, bowed their heads, and she was admired and instructed by 10,000 people, and the scene was atmospheric. But she still can't be complacent, after all, she doesn't know what these people who surrender in their mouths are thinking in their hearts.

There are also people who face the former emperor who are so placed on the street. Yan Zi walked over heavily, looked at it over and over again, and faced this distant nephew who was two years younger than himself, infinite emotion came to his heart.

Once upon a time, he was also like this. When was he a speck of dust under his feet, even a small one could be sprinkled everywhere, but in the blink of an eye, the feng shui rotation is now above ten thousand people, and it is really embarrassing that he has become this step of the field.

Yan Zi looked at it with a lot of feelings, and couldn't help but step forward and pick up the messy hair on his forehead, wanting to take a closer look at this man for the last time. It's still the same facial features as before, but I don't know when, it's already covered with traces of vicissitudes. Time is a terrible thing in the end, and it has faintly turned the handsome boy who was once a heartthrob into this.

It's really embarrassing, and when I think of this, I can't help but stop my hand, turn around and help the people all over the ground, "Get up." I was just a micro-service visit, and I didn't want to be so polite. Arise, all of you. ”

Only then did the people stand up, Yan Zi wanted to tour privately, but it seemed that it would not work, since his identity had been exposed, he couldn't hear a lot of truth, so he simply went back to the palace. Maybe there are still a lot of things to deal with in the palace, but looking at this poor man, he couldn't help but stop, turned around and handed a token to Bai Jikao.

"You take this token to the yamen, and ask the county order to send someone to take him away, and bury him according to the etiquette of the king." Yan Zi glanced at the dead man and commanded.

Bai Ji took the test result token, and went to do it immediately.

Yan Zi sighed and felt even more impermanence, and then glanced at the poor people present, obviously they were afraid. Just glanced at it, and before he could speak, many people retreated and became afraid.

Yan Zi also couldn't cry or laugh, trying to squeeze out a smile, trying to keep his tone as low as possible so as not to make them feel afraid, "Don't worry, I believe that they are all from poor families, and they have to do something contrary to benevolence and righteousness for some money." In this way, you wait here for the time being, and when the county order comes, I order him to send people to send you back to your hometown one by one. ”

The only way Yan Zi could think of was this, after all, there were too many people.

Fortunately, Bai Ji's work efficiency is extremely high, and after a few moments, people are already standing in front of him. When the county magistrate learned that Her Majesty had summoned him, he came all the way, and even felt that he was very slow in the sedan chair, but it was better to run much faster by himself.

But in any case, Yan Zi won't care about this, as long as the people arrive, it's fine, "Lord County Order, these poor people are wrapped up in you, and you must be sent home one by one." In addition, send the emperor of the previous dynasty back to the imperial tomb. Yan Zi simply threw down these few words.

The county commander immediately took the order, ordered the officers and soldiers behind him to obey the command in an orderly manner, and pulled a lot of carriages for the poor to ride and send them back to their hometowns.

The poor people were surprised, this was completely different from the empress rumored outside, but what they saw in front of them was such a benevolent emperor, so seeing is believing, and they couldn't help but suspect that the rumors in the past were confusing.

Everyone looked at Yan Zi gratefully, but no one spoke, probably because they felt embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. However, Yan Zi realized that their kind eyes were warm enough to make them feel that it was all worth it.

Standing upstairs in the opera garden, looking at the orderly convoy downstairs, Yan Zi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. It's really strange that you have a clear conscience, but why you can only feel at ease if you do something to them, as if to make amends, whether this feeling is an illusion, but at the same time, your eyes are nostalgic to look at the person who is gradually moving away.

The little girl in the crowd was still clutching the dagger, and her bright eyes looked up at a certain place in the opera garden from time to time, and there was also a pair of eyes looking at the little girl from time to time.

Suddenly, a strange laugh came from the side, "Haha, it turns out that you are not a ruthless person." The voice came from far to near, and the owner leaned over and looked straight at Yan Zi, and the thin half-curved lips that were raised seemed to smile into Yan Zi's eyes.

Yan Zi also looked back unceremoniously, and looked back at Bai Jikao, "Hmph, what do you mean by this, is it true that I am as terrible as a female demon?" At this point, he suddenly thought of the story written by Bai Jikao, and asked curiously, "Since Mr. Bai already knows my identity, does he want to punish me if he is so rude?" Oh, by the way, the female devil in the book seems to be particularly fond of abusing good people, I wonder what Mr. Bai thinks of these two things? ”

Yan Zi laughed evilly, this kind of eyes and tone definitely had a bloodthirsty taste, and Bai Jikao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it. Because it is true that he is rude, and if he punishes him, it is a righteous act, but he has become a bad person. invisibly justified the witch, but she was the empress, and it was impossible for her to let herself go easily.

So to put him in the pit, Bai Jikao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and couldn't refute. had to obediently kneel down and beg the empress to forgive him.

"The grass people Bai Ji don't know how to disrespect the empress in general, and he is really guilty of a capital crime, so I beg His Majesty to give him a sin." Bai Jikao was awkward, and he reluctantly squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

However, it was excellent to listen to Yan Zi's ears, and he deliberately waved his hand lightly and said, "Okay, since you also know that it is a capital crime and you are so sincere, wouldn't it be unkind if I didn't agree." So jump down from here yourself, and I'll leave you dead. ”

"What!" Bai Jikao heard this, his hair stood on end, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at Yan Zi in disbelief, and reminded him repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you have no jokes, your words can punish the wicked, but at the same time, you may also kill the good by mistake." What if the emperor finds out that you killed a good person by mistake later, then the country will lose its pillars. Do you know that a pillar of talent is worth thousands of troops, and you are losing your troops. Does the emperor want to think twice? ”
