Due to the number of stops, three days later, the crowd had only traveled less than 200 kilometers.

Passing by a more prosperous town ahead, Ren Yi stopped here when he spoke, and set off again tomorrow.

-

"Family master, there's news from Hongqi."

Not long after entering the inn, Lao Xu hurriedly entered the door and handed a sealed letter to Ren Yi.

Because they deliberately concealed their identities when they entered the city, everyone called Ren Yi "the head of the family" instead of "His Royal Highness".

Ren Yi took off his coat and put it aside, and took the letter: "Got it, go down and rest." ”

"Yes."

"Wait, bring Qingyang over."

“…… Got it. ”

After a while, Xia Qingyang, who was dressed in black, bowed outside the door: "Family master." ”

"It's all said, you don't have to salute when you come. Come in and close the door. ”

Xia Qingyang closed the door, turned around, and found that Ren Yi had opened the letter and read the content at a glance.

Ren Yi has always had her own intelligence network and unique contact information with informants.

But just like Xia Qingyang didn't tell Ren Yi how he got in touch with the "senior brothers", Ren Yi didn't have to tell her this.

"Hongqi is already about to catch up with Zuo Cheng and them." Ren Yi raised the letter in his hand towards Xia Qingyang, and his tone was unconcealably high-spirited, "If nothing happens, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Hongqi will be able to save people." You can tell Xuanniang not to worry. ”

Xia Qingyang tentatively stretched out his hand: "Can I take a look at this letter?" ”

"Of course."

Ren Yi handed the letter to Xia Qingyang.

After reading it, Xia Qingyang estimated it in his heart: "At the current speed, if we want to catch up with the exiled team, it will take about seven days." It takes two to three days to travel at full speed. ”

"What do you mean?" Ren Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and frowned again, "Don't you save Zuo Cheng and them?" ”

"Of course I have to save. It's just that a few days later, maybe it can have a better effect. ”

"Explain."

“……”

Xia Qingyang lowered his head slightly, and quickly thought about how to explain the reason to Ren Yi.

Su Quan and Ye Jingqing had actually caught up with the exiled team a long time ago.

No, it can even be said that these two people set off all the way from the capital with the exiled team.

But they never came to the rescue, but only secretly protected the safety of the Yin family.

The reason for this is also here-

"Because we need public anger." Xia Qingyang knelt down on one knee as he spoke, "Please forgive the head of the family." ”

"What are your sins?"

"Qingyang made an assertion and did not inform the head of the family of the whole situation."

Xia Qingyang immediately told Ren Yi about Su Quan and Ye Jingqing's protection of the Yin family all the way.

“…… The talents and means of the two senior brothers are not inferior to mine. They had the ability to rescue Zuo Cheng's family early on, but they didn't do that. ”

Next, there is no need for Xia Qingyang to say more, Ren Yi thought about it a little and understood everything.

"I see, Zuo Cheng was demoted, and passers-by were talking about it along the way. I thought it was because Zuo Cheng had a very high reputation among the people. Ren Yi's face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry, "Now that I think about it, the capital is far away from this mountain, and it has only been more than ten days since the Zuo Cheng family was exiled, so if the news circulates naturally, how can it spread so quickly." ”

Obviously, it is Xia Qingyang and Su Quan here who are deliberately fueling the trouble-

deliberately spread the exile of Yin Zuocheng's family among the people.

When the people heard this, Zuo Cheng, who was highly respected, couldn't say anything for the people, and was even exiled! Outrageous!

This is where the people's anger rises.

Let everyone really see that the Yin family is really in the exile team and is having a bad time.

The level of public anger is even higher.

"Zuo Cheng's exile is an introduction, the purpose is to let the long-standing public grievances vent on this matter.

The current plan is for my two brothers to spread the word along the way, and when the time is right, they will lead the people to stop the exiles—

However, due to the obstruction of officers and soldiers, this hasty resistance was bound to lead to a conflict and failure. And it was at this time that you, the head of the family, arrived just in time to secretly support the people in launching a second resistance. My two senior brothers will find an opportunity to rescue Zuo Cheng's family.

In this way, on the surface, relying on the people to contain them, the righteous people rescued Zuo Cheng's family. But as we all know, this struggle would not have been successful if it weren't for you. ”

This plan can be said to be the first big move they released on this trip, and it is also the first action to show Ren Fu's fangs a little.

As long as the plan is successful, the people will be able to understand that the official master is not unable to resist, and the current painful life is not impossible to change. Just follow the right people.

This person is Ren Yi.

"I didn't explain it to the head of the family in advance, it was Qingyang who made his own opinion, and I asked the head of the family to punish him."

Xia Qingyang's head was lowered.

Ren Yi got up slowly.

She didn't look at Xia Qingyang, who was kneeling in front of her on one knee, but paced to the window, and after a while, she spoke: "Are you afraid that I won't agree with this plan, so you have hidden it from me until now." ”

Xia Qingyang did not answer.

Yes, she was worried that Ren Yi would be too upright and disagree with the Yin family for this kind of almost exploitative purpose, so she didn't tell her.

didn't hear an answer, Ren Yi took her as a default: "Does Yixuan know about this situation?" ”

"Yes."

"Then since she has approved of this plan, why do you think I will not approve it?"

“…… Because I know that no matter what kind of family and country righteousness is used as a rhetoric, for Zuo Cheng's family, the pain and suffering experienced along the way cannot be eliminated. ”

Xia Qingyang was stunned, "I can swear that everything I do is for the sake of Dachun Neng, the country and the people." But you love every one of the people of this land. Maybe you don't want to hurt the few for the good of the many. ”

It's like the classic tram puzzle.

On one side is a railroad with one person tied to it, and on the other side is a railroad with five people tied to it.

When you have the power to change the direction of the train, and you must choose a side of your life, what choice will you make-

The answer to this philosophical question is a matter of opinion.

But for the monarch, he will always protect the lives of the majority of the people.

And for the sovereign's staff?

A monarch cannot be stained or criticized. Especially, the future lord who has not yet ascended to the throne.

Then this bad guy should be done by the staff.

In fact, the situation they are facing today is still far from the problem of the tram.

Zuo Cheng's family did not lose their lives. With the protection of Su Quan and Ye Jingqing, they will not have to worry about their lives.

But first, Xia Qingyang didn't want to kidnap Zuo Cheng's family.

Second, in the future, we may really encounter choices that involve "life".

If this conscience is tormented, it must be borne by one person.

Then she will bear the burden.
