Chapter 907: In front of the city gate
Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
If it is left in the past, although the voice of the people is very high and he is respected by the people, he has always had a sense of superiority, and he is not as close to the people's lives as he is now.
The current scene is exactly what Qin Yining wants.
It is sometimes very simple to reverse the wind of public opinion and make a person who originally had a sense of distance deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It can be seen that things are man-made.
Qin Yining was curious about the situation outside, but because he was now pretending to be a person whose whole family had died, and it was not fun to wear heavy filial piety, he couldn't go out for a stroll with a swagger, so he had to go quietly in disguise.
After listening to a few books, Qin Yining's blood boiled, those things that were obviously not there, but the storyteller made it reasonable, and even she almost believed it. The storyteller's thin two mouths are about battlefield battles and power struggles, which are much more exciting than those of them who are in them.
At the beginning of February, even the women in the deep house in the capital knew about the book of Xiao Zhiping Nanyan, and Yu Chi Yanen became more and more ingrained in the image of the despicable villain of revenge, and even the old women who got together to bask in the sun had to pout and shake their heads and despise this person.

In the garden of the South Wangfu in the capital of Yuci Town, Yu Chiyan stood with a calm face, his gray hair was tied into a bun, and the newly made silk shirt on his body seemed to be a little wider.
The two older daughters-in-law knelt before him and shook like chaff.
"What did you just say? Well? ”
"The king, the king, the slave, the slave and the maid are not ......"
"Say!"
Yu Chiyan roared, sobbing on the spot in fright, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"The slave doesn't know, the slave and the maid, when the slave and the maid went out to buy, they heard someone talking next to a small tea stall at the market, so they ......."
"Presumptuous! If the mud legs are talking nonsense outside, how can you really believe it? ”
"Slaves and maids don't believe it, slaves and maids don't believe it!"
The servants prostrated again and again.
Yu Chiyan clenched her fists, her forehead was bruised, her whole body trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Someone!" ”
"Lord Wang."
The head of the palace came forward to salute.
Yu Chiyan pointed at the two women and said fiercely: "Slap their mouths!" Beat! Hit me hard! ”
The person in charge should be and waved his hand to the little guys behind him.
The servant immediately stepped forward, pressed the two servants by the shoulders, and took the bamboo board and held it in his hand.
The two servants were so frightened that their faces were pale, and they kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "Lord Wang, the slave and maid don't dare anymore!" ”
"The prince spares his life, these are not said by the slave maid, it is outside, it is spread like this outside......"
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as she heard "It's spreading like this outside", Yu Chiyan's eyes were red and she yelled: "Fight!" ”
The little servant immediately responded, raised his arm, and waved the bamboo piece down fiercely, only to hear the sound of "pop" and "pop", and the wail of the two servant women being beaten could not be made, but after two or three times, the face was high and swollen.
Yu Chiyan clenched her teeth, her jaw tightened, and she stared at the two servants.
The two servants each beat more than a dozen times, seeing the two servants crying, their cheeks swollen into balls, and there were dark purple marks on them, but they were afraid that their faces would be broken if they hit again, so they couldn't help but slow down the movements of their hands, and hesitated to peek at the affairs of the palace.
The head was also a little hesitant, "Lord Wang, you ......"
"Keep fighting! Did the king tell you to stop? Have you not listened to the king's commandments? ”
"The little ones don't dare!"
The two little guys were frightened, and hurriedly moved again.
He wanted to talk and stopped, and lowered his head and couldn't bear to look at it again.
Yu Chiyan stared at the two beaten servants who vomited blood, seeing that the blood they spit out had teeth in them, their faces were swollen and bruised beyond recognition, and the suppressed turbidity in her heart seemed to have an outlet for venting.
He can't control the nonsense of those people outside, can't he control the people at home?
Just when Wei Chiyan was staring at the two servants, obviously wanting to watch the little servants beat them to death, Gu Shixiong was helped by the two little servants and rushed over.
"Stop." The old man's voice trembled, and he coughed a few times from time to time.
When the two executioners heard the amnesty, they immediately stopped moving.
Yu Chiyan's heart was refreshed, but she was suddenly interrupted and suddenly looked back at Gu Shixiong.
"Lord, these two servants chew their tongues indiscriminately, and the punishment is deserved. Presumably they have been taught a lesson, and they will never be again. Gu Shixiong arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the prince to open the net and leave them a way to live." ”
Yu Chiyan pursed his lips tightly, his previously gentle eyes retreated from weakness and gentleness at this time, his eyes became cold, and his expression was full of resentment after excessive repression.
"They are the king's subordinates, and if they do such things, the king will punish them!"
"That's what the prince said." Gu Shixiong sighed, "It's just that the prince has always been kind, you ......"
"Kindness?" Yu Chiyan raised her chin and sneered at the gloomy sky, "What's the use of being kind? ”
Seeing that he seemed to be about to say something in his heart that could not be heard, Gu Shixiong hurriedly waved his hand at the master.
The person in charge immediately understood, and ordered someone to carry out the two daughters-in-law who had fainted after being beaten, and the little girl also retreated quietly.
In the blink of an eye, only Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong were left in the garden.
"Lord Wang, the old man knows the bitterness in your heart, but you have to think long-term. You can't throw away your best in these things. ”
"Pros? What other advantages does this king have? Are you talking about soft-heartedness and kindness? Ha! It's ridiculous! Yu Chiyan raised his head and laughed, his eyes gradually turned red, and Gu Shixiong's words of persuasion seemed to poke at the embarrassment he didn't want to see the most in his heart.
"The softness and kindness of this king is a sign of weakness! What do you think of the people outside? Despicable villain, ungrateful! This king is the king of the dead country, a useless coward! They say that this king is a bastard who licks people's shoes and steals his life, where does anyone know the suffering of this king! ”
"Lord Wang! Be careful! ”
Gu Shixiong hurriedly spoke out to stop it, for fear that Yu Chiyan would continue to say something rebellious.
This is the capital, it is under Li Qitian's nose, as long as Li Qitian wants to, I am afraid that Li Qitian can know what material of underwear Yu Chiyan is wearing! They have been misunderstood by the people of Nanyan and lost the hearts of the people, and they fled back to the capital by the stalkers, and finally got a place to stay, so it is time for Taoguang to recuperate, and it is really not appropriate to have another incident at this time.
But looking at Yu Chiyan's appearance as if she was going crazy, Gu Shixiong only felt powerless.
Yu Chiyan is still the same, not good at political affairs, and now he is almost crazy, and even his patience and forbearance in the past have been forgotten.
Yu Chiyan clenched her fists, panting heavily, her teeth creaking.
Looking at Yu Chiyan like this, the idea that he had already been thinking about in Gu Shixiong's letter became clear again.
He's old. In order to restore the country, enough has been paid. He has taken everything except his old life, family, and future.
But things are still the same irretrievable as they are now.
Maybe it's time for him to let go.
"Lord Wang, you must be tired. It's better to rest than to be a good student. As for the storyteller outside who coincidentally started to talk about Xiao Zhixi, someone must be operating behind his back, and it is even likely that Xiao Zhixi himself is establishing a positive image for himself. In the face of the opponent's slander, you don't need to be so angry, let's just think of a counterattack. ”
"Fight back? How to fight back? Yu Chiyan was stunned for a moment, and then asked eagerly.
I didn't know how to use my brain when I encountered something, so I came to ask him first, so dependent, Gu Shixiong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Think again."
"Think again? Thinking about the reputation of this king was trampled underfoot! ”
Does he still have a good reputation now?
Gu Shixiong sighed secretly, shook his head, and only said that he would go back and think about it, so he retired and left the palace first.
Yu Chiyan didn't get a solution to the problem, and he was angry when he remembered the appearance of the two servants chewing his tongue behind his back, so he ordered someone to throw the two servants out of the palace that night, and no one was allowed to save them.
The next day, the news of the discovery of two bodies in front of the Zhennan Wangfu spread.
Bingtang twisted his eyebrows and said to Qin Yining: "This is too cruel, I heard that the faces of those two servant women are so swollen that their mouths have been knocked out, and one of their cheekbones has been broken, so they were thrown out when they had a high fever." The weather was freezing and the water was not freezing, and the two of them were thrown on the cold ground and died overnight......"
Ji Yun listened with righteous indignation, "It's really careless of human life!" There is a reason to punish subordinates, or punish or sell, although it is not impossible to use lynching in this way, but there is no such blatant punishment, does the king of Zhennan disregard his face? ”
Qin Yining sighed and said, "He was angry." ”
With Wei Chiyan's temper, it is not unusual to do such a thing. The kind-hearted people in the past have become like this now, Qin Yining doesn't know how to feel, anyway, they are standing on the opposite side, and they all want to get the treasure, so they will never be able to turn back.

Daxing Grange.
Hu Zi's eyebrows danced and said: "Lord Wang, now the capital is full of people who praise you, and even a three-year-old child knows about your deeds!" Hey! The princess is amazing! In just a short period of time, your voice among the people has become so high! Why didn't we think of such a solution before? ”
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "In the past, she needed to keep a low profile, but now she is high-profile." ”
Huzi asked, "Lord Wang, can we enter the city?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Xiao stood up, stretched his stiff muscles, and said, "Tell me to go down." Prepare your carriage and set off immediately. ”
With more than 20 Jinghu and two strategists Xie and Xu, Xiao Xiao hurried to the capital, which was twice as fast as Qin Yining at that time.
But when he reached the city gate, he commanded him to set up camp and not enter the city gate.
On the road in front of the city gate, there are many people and chariots and horses coming and going, and the camp of several tents set up not far away by the team of more than 20 people is extremely prominent, especially the camp is still clearly planted with a flag, and a neat character "逄" is written on it.
Some of the people who were literate knew that it was Prince Zhongshun's party that had come outside the city.
Soon, the news spread that Prince Zhongshun had returned to Beijing but had not entered the city.
