Chapter 254, Bai Gongzi

Hearing this, Xiao Er smiled and said enthusiastically, "Hey, I see that the two of you are strangers."

"We in Yunzhou, we hold a bonfire party every month."

"This party is organized by our White Moon Society's sect leader, Bai Gongzi himself, but anyone who goes can get food."

"Besides, I've heard, I'm going to kill a big guy tonight."

"I heard...... Like a prince of the imperial court."

"We ordinary people, we have been exploited by the court on weekdays, and those princes are not involved in personnel, but they eat well and dress warmly, and they are all fat and white. Some time ago, the damn dog emperor also sent a big prince to suppress the bandits, no, as soon as he entered the territory of Yunzhou, let our Bai Gongzi arrest him."

"That damn big prince is also very stupid, this is just a show of power, and let us greet him, and see what kind of thing he is."

In the end, the shopkeeper has changed from enthusiasm to disdain.

Of course, it is not those who despise Xie Jinyan, but those who despise the eldest prince and the entire royal family.

However, hearing this, Xie Jinyan's back was no longer cold, and he suddenly understood why his father had instructed him in every possible way, telling him to hide his identity.

Just these Diao people, if he reveals his identity, I'm afraid he won't be able to save all the corpses.

It's Xie Qiyun, and I don't know if the eldest prince in the second mouth of this shop is him?

Xie Jinyan gasped, tried his best to make his expression look calm, indifferent, and even revealed a bit of gossip puzzlement, frowned and asked the shopkeeper, "Little second brother, ...... you Did you really arrest the prince?"

"This ...... Aren't you afraid of the court asking for guilt? And this White Moon Society, what is it?"

"Yes, who is this white boy? I see, you all seem to respect him."

Yu Qingwu also opened his mouth at this moment, echoing Xie Jinyan, with a sense of curiosity and gossip.

Seeing that the two of them did not have the intention of defending the imperial court, they seemed to be simply shocked and curious, so he smiled again and proudly introduced, "If you want to say that this Baiyue Society, it is the number one sect in our Yunzhou, and it is not comparable to the famous Xiao Sect on the rivers and lakes."

"Our Bai Gongzi was originally the eldest grandson of the first sect leader Bai Yuebai, and Bai Gongzi is the same as his grandfather Bai Gongzi, who is a kind-hearted person who cares about the world. If it weren't for Bai Gongzi, we would have starved to death. In this *** imperial court, the taxes are getting heavier and heavier year by year, and the food shortage in the past few years is even more ineffective."

"It was Bai Gongzi who saved the lives of us people by bankrupting his family, and later, he taught us to plant many crops that were easier to survive. Later, the damned official came to raise taxes again, and he was going to collect most of our harvest. Childe, tell me, is this still going to make people live?"

"Later, it was our Bai Gongzi who led us to rebel and set up many organs outside Yunzhou City, but all those dignitaries and dignitaries who stepped into Yunzhou either took refuge in us, or they didn't want to leave Yunzhou alive."

「……」

So, Xie Qiyun, that idiot, wasn't he captured alive as soon as he arrived at the city gate?

Oh, if you don't try your best to hide your identity, it won't be the same result.

It's dangerous, it's dangerous.

Xie Jinyan patted his chest, feeling more and more cold in his heart, but also even more confused.

He nodded, found a reason to see the excitement, and asked the shopkeeper to show the way to the place where he wanted to hold a bonfire party, and then stepped out of the inn door.

"Temple...... Xianggong, if I remember correctly, the imperial court should not have increased taxes in the past ten years, how can it ...... Why is it that the shopkeeper said that Yunzhou is increasing taxes every year?" Chinese Net

As soon as he went out, Yu Qingwu frowned, and in addition to being afraid, he was even more puzzled.

She pursed her lips, clasped Xie Jinyan's hand with one hand, and glanced around with great vigilance, and finally asked him in a low voice, "Xianggong, isn't there an inside story in this matter?"

"There must be."

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and not all the people below can see what the people below do, and there are countless people who lie and conceal it.

However, it is the first time that Yunzhou has encountered this, and the black hand behind this is probably not ordinary, and we are all in his sight at this moment."

"Anyway, let's go to the campfire and see what happens."

Xie Jinyan's eyebrows were cold, he held Yu Qingwu with his backhand, and looked at the people coming and going around him, he pinched her tighter, and said in a low voice, "Ah Wu, follow me, it's too weird here."

Hearing this, Yu Qingwu nodded slightly, and moved closer to Xie Jinyan.

In this case, he didn't say anything, and she had to get closer to him.

All the way through the crowd, Yu Qingwu clinged to Xie Jinyan.

After a long time, the two finally arrived at an extremely wide flat land.

In the middle of the flat ground, a large stage was built, and several cooks kept serving rice.

Yu Qingwu listened to the person next to him a little, saying that today's bonfire party is to elect the king of big stomachs, and tonight's first place is said to be able to get a hundred taels of gold as a reward.

However, the most important reason why these people gathered here today was not to see who the one hundred taels of gold was, but to see what happened to the great prince when they got up today.

In the crowd, they were also scolded at the moment.

"*** Emperor's son! If it weren't for the damn imperial court raising taxes and taking away more than half of my family's food, my sons and daughters-in-law would not have starved to death."

"Isn't it? My man was dragged by them to repair the river in the first place, but after the river was repaired, my man was gone."

"Later, when I asked, I realized that they were only allowed to work, and they didn't give a meal a day, and when a group of people were tired to death, they would replace another batch on top."

The woman next to her wiped her tears, and her eyes were already red as she spoke.

The people around him also scolded more and more ugly, and they gritted their teeth.

Some say that their son was beaten to death by the outer room of a certain official, some say that their daughter was bullied by the son of the outer room, and some say that the emperor destroyed evidence in order to protect the court officials.

Listening to wave after wave of scolding, Yu Qingwu's mood gradually changed from fear at the beginning to heaviness.

She turned her head slightly and found that Xie Jinyan's face had also become gloomy, and her narrow phoenix eyes were full of complex emotions.

Holding her hand, it was vaguely tightened, and sweat oozed unconsciously.

"Xianggong." Yu Qingwu leaned into his ear and called softly.

Xie Jinyan turned his head and looked at her with inquiring eyes.

Yu Qingwu raised her eyes to look at him and asked him in a low voice, "You...... It's okay."

"You've been a little silent since now......
