Chapter 518: Carnival Before the Storm
this day.
The news spread.
Similar rumors have not stirred up.
The theme is very obvious: the emperor's younger brother, Prince Li of Daqing, colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed Qingguo's intelligence for his own selfish interests, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of people in a city.
Goolan, restaurants, vegetable markets, streets and alleys......
In these places where a large number of civilians gathered, the news was like a spark, and the entire national capital was ignited in an instant.
The city is boiling.
"What? Is the message true? β
"My God, this is really a shocking scandal, the Daqing royal family betrayed their own intelligence, causing hundreds of thousands of innocent ghosts to die."
"This is the ...... Is it true? I remember that the court had already determined this matter, saying that the three-grade waiter did it? Why did you become Prince Li again? β
"Hey, needless to say, I've been used as a scapegoat."
"Think about it, how can a third-grade waiter in the household department know so much specific information about Daqing in detail? But in the case of a prince, it makes sense. β
"No, Your Majesty is planning to shield his younger brother? For this, he did not hesitate to let hundreds of thousands of innocent people die unjustly? β
Voices of righteous indignation came and went.
The ghosts are cold in their hearts.
It was a city, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of ghosts were now so easily fooled, and they tried to use scapegoats to divert the attention of the people, so as to save the murderer.
Such an act has chilled many people.
Today, the emperor of Daqing can give up accountability for the sake of a younger brother.
Tomorrow, the emperor of Daqing will dare to abandon them because of other interests.
In the long run, who would dare to be a citizen of Qingguo?
However.
Where there are voices of righteous indignation, there are voices of opposition.
"False, this matter has been determined, you don't believe in the resolution of the imperial court, do you want to believe a rumor?"
"Yes, not to mention the authenticity of this rumor, the other party deliberately broke out this kind of thing at such a time, it is undoubtedly ulterior, we can't be led by the nose."
"That's right, I believe in the imperial court, I believe in Your Majesty, and I believe that Qingguo will give us a satisfactory reply, don't fall for the tricks of those people with ulterior motives."
The opposition was equally loud.
Many people were shaken.
I don't know which side to believe.
That's when it happened.
An inopportune voice rang out.
"Let's go to the vegetable market and take a look, someone over there has posted evidence of Prince Li's crimes."
As soon as this remark came out.
The ghosts heard the wind and rose up.
Only a figure remained, and the demon mask was removed from his face.
revealed a face with extremely dark circles and a face that looked like it was dying.
It was the No. 1 tool man beside Shen Jian, Luo Quan.
According to Shen Jian's instructions, he began to post notices in the streets and alleys of the national capital of Qingguo.
And there is a plan to guide the people to expose the truth step by step.
Until......
Discover what Prince Li has done.
Detonate minefields.
Come to think of this.
Luo Quan wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his face.
This thunderstorm exploded a bit ruthlessly.
One is not good, Qingguo's credibility will decline, it will be alienated from the people, and it may even cause large-scale riots.
Yama is going to make waves in Qingguo with his own strength.
Where does this mean that he wants to complete the hidden mission, this is clearly to subvert Qingguo's posture, he is a little suspicious, is the hidden mission triggered by Yama really related to Prince Li?
How did he feel that this hidden mission was for Yama to subvert Qingguo.
A big guy is a big guy, and he dares to take on this kind of task.
If it were him, it would be too late to stay away.
Luo Quan's eyes were full of emotion.
Continue to the next restaurant and spread rumors.
This is the task not only for him, but for all players.
For this.
Shen Jian also deliberately made these players become errands under the command of the Night Wandering God, although they are no different from jailers in terms of identity, but the gold content of the two is not the same level at all.
This can also be regarded as Shen Jian's reward for the players
β¦β¦
Just like that.
Shen Jian returned to the prison.
Class A, Cell 1.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Daqing looked at Shen Jian with a serious face.
"So that's your plan? Incite the people, let these people put pressure on the court, and then execute Prince Li? β
Shen Jian was noncommittal, but asked rhetorically, "Is there any problem?" β
"It's a big problem." Eldest Princess Miao Lin shook her head, "If this method is effective, Prince Li will not just be grounded in the imperial court, the core key point of this matter lies in Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty does not let go, no one can execute him." β
"I am familiar with history, and naturally understand the horror of the people's hearts, for any country, your plan has the possibility of success, but this is Qingguo, and Your Majesty is a world-destroying ghost god, if he wants, he can even destroy half of Qingguo alone."
"Under such a terrible horror that can be called annihilation, the importance of the people's will has decreased exponentially, and the people's hearts have ...... You can't coerce Your Majesty, do you understand? β
Speaking of which.
The eldest princess looked at Shen Jian with complicated eyes.
"Your Majesty is now in retreat, the crown prince is in prison, no one has the power to move him, you can't do anything except keep him in prison, and it won't even take a few days for him to be taken away, once he is out of your control, Prince Li will actually be free."
Shen Jian bowed.
The meaning of the eldest princess is obvious.
He worked in vain, and he was never able to execute Prince Li by relying on the will of the people, but he would be hated and unable to move an inch from now on.
Even.
Just leave the prison and the other party is free.
on this.
The smile on Shen Jian's face became more and more intense.
He did not continue the topic.
Instead, he asked: "Your Highness, you have also seen the evidence of Prince Li's crimes, especially in betraying the intelligence of the country, no emperor can tolerate this kind of thing, why does Emperor Qing have to protect him to the death?" Is it just because of brothers, friends, and brothers? β
This is where the biggest suspicion lies.
A sinner who betrayed his country's intelligence and caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people in a city, even if it was the royal family and the emperor's brother, should be sent to the death table.
But Emperor Qing did the opposite.
There must be a big secret in this.
The eldest princess of Miaolin sighed: "I don't know, no one can understand his thoughts, since he was promoted to the world-destroying level ghost god, Qingguo seems to have exhausted the last trace of national fortune, and the overall national strength has fallen again and again, and it has begun to decline from prosperity to decline. β
"If it goes on like this, it won't take a hundred years, and Qingguo will perish sooner or later."
Shen Jian was thoughtful.
It seems that the emperor of Qingguo also has a lot of secrets that can be dug deeply.
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with me, but you, prepare to take refuge, I have a secret guard under my command, which is full of people who can't gain a foothold in Qingguo and needs to "disappear" like you, you disappear now, just to avoid the next turmoil. β
The eldest princess said seriously.
At the moment when the plan failed, Shen Jian could no longer gain a foothold in Qingguo.
Once he appears, he will be greeted with heavy revenge.
If you wait until the end of His Majesty's retreat, then what awaits Shen Jian is only death.
Although she has some pity, the only way to protect Shen Jian at the moment is to turn from the open to the dark.
Become a dark guard who can't see the light.
"Who says my plan failed?"
Shen Jian's eyes were strange.
His plan is different from what the other party thinks.
The execution of Prince Li was only a collateral consequence.
What he really wants is the hearts of the people that can be won by beheading Prince Li against the imperial court against all odds.
The greater the resistance, the greater the hearts and minds of the people he can win at that time.
The eldest princess was also stunned.
"You're not going to keep him here for the rest of your life?"
"Of course not."
"That's not the end, a holy decree is issued, unless you disobey the order, you can't keep him, and the end of disobedience, I believe you know."
"Don't think about disobeying the holy decree, now that the prince is in charge of the country, the matter is far from disturbing Your Majesty, but once you resist the decree, the court will have the motive to kill you, if not, it will reach the point of disturbing Your Majesty, and when the time comes, everything will be closed."
Hear this.
Shen Jian did not respond.
Just stared at the eldest princess Miaolin with burning eyes.
"You...... What are you doing? β
Being stared at like this, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was used to being watched, was also a little embarrassed at the moment.
"Your Highness, are you worried about me now?"
Shen Jian's eyes moved.
γDaqing Eldest Princessγ
[Current status: worried, worried, ashamed.] γ
[Good Feeling: 61 (Ambiguous)]
Looked at.
Shen Jian's eyes were strange.
As he spoke, he approached.
Soon invaded the default safe distance between men and women.
Between the two, the distance is less than ten centimeters.
This distance is already an area that only close people can approach.
Between breaths, you can already feel the temperature of each other.
Princess Miaolin's expression became a little wrong, her eyes dodged, and she reached out to push Shen Jian away.
Shen Jian grabbed it.
Hold the slender jade hand with one hand.
Feeling the snow slippery palms, the different color in Shen Jian's eyes deepened.
But only in less than three seconds.
The eldest princess of Miaolin broke free, her pretty face was slightly pink, and she glanced at Shen Jian: "You are quite bold now, even I, the eldest princess of the dynasty, dare to be frivolous, so I am not afraid that I will punish you now?" β
"I'm sure Your Highness won't."
Shen Jian's eyes were deep and his expression was serious.
"Hmph, these words, you better go and tell your little beauty, I'm not her, I need to rely on men."
The eldest princess's heart trembled slightly, but she still straightened her face and took a sip.
Shen Jian was slightly stunned.
Something went wrong?
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess should be Mrs. Shilang.
Pondering.
Princess Miaolin's expression had returned to normal, and she said coldly: "You'd better go and see her, because of her, you are involved in this case, but now, I feel worthless for her and worthless for you." β
Hear this.
Shen Jian frowned slightly.
But he didn't say anything more, just nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing the back of Shen Jian leaving, the eldest princess of Miaolin pursed her lips, wrote down a "desire" on the paper, thought about it, and added "will be bad" at the end.
β¦β¦
Cell 6.
Shen Jian pushed the door open.
A soft delicate body was attached.
In an instant, Shen Jian felt meticulous and considerate.
"What happened?"
Shen Jian was a little curious.
Although this lady squire had some strange feelings for him under his daily farming, Shen Jian knew that it was all destroyed by love.
This lady's mentality towards him is based on this.
But after all, the other party loves her husband deeply, and there is something abnormal about her behavior now.
Mrs. Squire did not speak.
just silently embraced Shen Jian's arms, as if looking for a support.
Until a long time.
It's gradually loosening.
It can be seen that her eyes are a little red and swollen, and she seems to have been crying for a long time.
The whole person looks even more delicate, like a fragile flower.
I thought about it.
Shen Jian used the ghost domain to understand the situation from the mountain god.
"Mountain God, what happened to the Grade A cell these days?"
"Nothing big happened, except that my lord, you caught an abyss-level ghost and sent it to the first-class cell, and the other party seemed to know the people in cell six, so they talked for a while, and then the woman in cell six rushed out like crazy and launched an attack on the other party."
Shen Jian was stunned.
The abyss-level ghost I caught a few days ago refers to that seventh-grade outsider.
The other party does know Mrs. Squire, or the relationship between sister-in-law and uncle.
"What did they say?"
"Scolding the street...... The clerk pointed to the woman in cell 6 and sneered, saying that her husband didn't really love her, but only took a fancy to her father's power and status, which led to a premeditated encounter, and that her husband had other women outside and was kept in a suburban mansion, and she stupidly thought he was the only one. β
Hear out.
Shen Jian's eyes were strange.
But then on second thought, it seems...... It's an opportunity.
I thought about it.
Shen Jian looked at the lovely lady and said, "Madam, do you want to go and see your husband?" β
Hear this.
Mrs. Squire raised her head in surprise and said softly, "Is it okay?" I'm still a prisoner, he's a death row prisoner, and there's no chance we'll ever meet. β
"I can take you."
Shen Jian's eyes were strange.
That outsider obviously knew more about the deeds of the Sanpin squire, especially after being reduced to a prisoner, there was no need to lie.
In other words.
There is a gap between this loving couple.
He only needs to take Mrs. Shilang to verify it, so that she can confirm the authenticity of this news, and then ......
I just don't know if there is a chance to do it in person......
Come to think of this.
Shen Jian was faintly agitated in his heart.
Powerful.
