Chapter 32

Seeing that Shen Yinlu's face was not good, Lin Yan did not talk to her any more and said:
"I just heard that the palace invited an old doctor to stay. There are so many good doctors and good medicines. The prince will be fine."

"I also heard from Du En that the assassin has been caught. I believe there will be results soon! Don't think about it."

Shen Yinlu's breath softened a little.

Then she remembered something and took out the jade pendant from her purse...

I forgot to give this to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Lin Yan took the pendant over and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Shen Yinlu took it back again, but said perfunctorily: "I picked it up. I have to find a time to return it to the owner later..."

Lin Yan: "..."

lie.

Don't be rewarded by the prince!

……

When the prince was assassinated at Linanguan Pass, thirteen civilians were killed and 34 were seriously injured. The government also arrested more than fifty civilians who were said to be suspicious...

It can be said that the city is full of storms and people are in panic.

Two days later, two to three hundred people gathered at the gate of the Prince's Mansion and blocked both streets.

Half of them are family members of civilians who were innocently affected by assassinations, and half are family members of people who were imprisoned as suspicious...

One of them cried and begged the prince for sympathy. After all, it was because of the prince that they suffered disaster...

A family member who was clamoring for the prince to let them go...

Jin Yuan reported to the Crown Prince and couldn't help saying angrily:
"These heartless people didn't even ask you how your body was doing. They are really a bunch of rude and unruly people!"

Each one of them is selfish and looking for their own profit and loss. They don’t even think about how much benefit they got from His Highness’s efforts to gather doctors and medicines. They don’t even think about the gratitude at that time, and they actually have the nerve to ask for compensation. It’s really Shameless and ignorant!

Qi Hechen leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes, just whispering: "If there is no one who takes the lead, they will not dare to gather and make trouble..."

Ignorant and stupid people are afraid of power and trouble. If there is no one to come up with ideas, this will definitely not happen.

It was also because he was kind-hearted and easy to bully, thinking that if he came to the prince's house and cried a few times, he would get some silver.

Jin Yuan's expression became even worse: "I will send someone to investigate right now."

Just as he was about to turn around and go out, Qi Hechen called out:
"no need."

"Hundreds of mouths, it's hard to explain."

There is no need to waste time checking such small things.

Jin Yuan came back: "I'm afraid that the person in charge is not a common person, but someone plotting and instigating to destroy His Highness's reputation."

A hundred good things done are not worth one bad thing.

"Heh." Qi Hechen's mouth showed a trace of disdain.

It's just a trick, do you think it can ruin his reputation and treat him as dead?

At this time, someone knocked on the door. After Jin Yuan went out, he came back and relayed to Qi Hechen:

"Shen Yinxu is arguing with the people at the gate of the mansion, expressing his grievances for His Highness..."

Qi Hechen's eyes were half-opened, looking down on emotions:

"She's positive."

Jin Yuan: "If you want to please His Highness, you have to behave well."

"But she doesn't deserve to speak for me."

If you can't say a word well, the people's emotions will not be suppressed, but they will get worse.

Jin Yuan: "Slave, let someone bring her back."

"No need."

Qi Hechen ordered: "Xu Liangdi is not idle..."

Shen Yinwen said angrily: "This matter is not His Highness's fault. He was kind enough to provide you with free medical consultations, free medicines, and worked hard himself... He is also injured and has not yet healed. How could you come so unreasonably to look for trouble!" "

Someone in the crowd immediately answered loudly: "I did not receive the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince, but instead caused my son to lose his life. We are from a poor family, and now we don't even have a coffin. How do you want my son to be buried?"

"We also know that this is not His Highness's fault, but this assassin came for His Highness, right? How innocent are we!"

"How can this be seeking trouble? This is not a natural or earthly disaster. Since it is man-made, there must be someone who takes responsibility!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness has a doctor and good medicine to treat him. It's a pity that my wife can't die if she can get good treatment and medicine in time..."

"We are either talking like a lion, or asking the prince for a share of the funeral money. Is this too much?"

"You don't have to stand without pain in your back. If someone dies in your family, can you sit at home peacefully?"

"..."

Shen introduced one sentence to defend her, followed by ten sentences, and dozens of sentences to refute her.

She was not an eloquent person to begin with. She was so angry that she was forced to speak for several rounds.

Lin Yan, who was standing next to him, loudly said: "There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. Whoever killed your family, who do you want to go to? Haven't all the assassins been caught? You should go to the government!"

"I heard that an assassin was caught. Of these ten or twenty lives, can killing him once repay the debts of so many people?"

"Also, my father is already in his fifties. His hands are shaking so much that he has difficulty eating and drinking. He was actually arrested and imprisoned as an archery suspect. He has not been released yet. Is this still reasonable?"

"That's right, my son is only thirteen, how can he ever draw a bow?"

"I've heard that the government arrests people without provocation, and even if they are arrested and questioned, they will not be released until their families pay money..."

"Who are you? Do you do anything like this?"

"Let people go! Let people go!"

"..."

Well, another group of people also became excited, and the public protests became more and more serious.

Just when Shen Yinlu and Lin Yan didn't know what to do, Du En saw the people's emotions turbulent and was about to call them back because they were afraid that the guards in front would not be able to stop them and cause some harm.

The door of Hou Tou Mansion opened wide, and several people turned around subconsciously, only to see Xu Liangdi.

Xu Lanjun first bowed to the hundreds of people at the door, and then said softly to himself:
"I am the Crown Prince Liang Di. The Crown Prince has not yet returned to peace. He was unconscious and woken up by the noise. Although his consciousness is not yet clear, after hearing about your intentions, he ordered me to comfort you all..."

After saying this, the people started to express concerns and inquiries.

There is absolutely no sign of the previous tendency to be unreasonable and to fight for three points despite being unreasonable.

Xu Lanjun bowed again, thanking all the people for their concern and kindness, and then said:
"His Highness has always loved the people, and the people are more important than his own life. If you ask for compensation, Your Highness ordered me to properly satisfy it. It's just..."

Xu Lanjun lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, with a bit of trouble on his face:

"It's just that the money in the mansion is tight. It has always been enough for His Highness and I to live on two meals a day. His Highness usually gives away some of the surplus. Now there is really no extra money to give to you..."

People: ...

If other officials said that the family had no money, they would definitely not believe it.

But the Prince's Mansion was poor and said it had no money, so they were only skeptical.

Especially the prince Liangdi, who was plainly dressed and even looked worse than the ladies from his wife's family, which showed that she really had no money.

But they can't get any money, and they are unwilling to give up...

But then Xu Lanjun said:

"But since the prince is worried, I have to share his worries. I will send someone to the palace to deliver a letter of invitation to see if I can borrow some silver from the emperor..."

"Ah this..."

"I borrowed all the money from the emperor. Are you really that poor?"

"Hey, throughout the ages, which prince would borrow money from his own emperor?"

"I heard that the emperor was angry about the assassins and demoted the commander of the Military and Horse Department. Many officials suffered. At this time, the hand of begging for money is reaching out to the emperor..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind, but his own life is in danger. He is still worried about us, while we are caring about ourselves. This is really inappropriate!"

"..."
