Chapter 79: Feeling suspicious
  After the Sixth Prince returned to the camp, the guards were surprised and happy to see that the man was safe and sound. They were so frightened that they cowered on both sides and did not dare to look at him.

The sixth prince was frightened and heard what Vice General Du said. He didn't care much and started crying as soon as he entered the camp.

King Pingzhang and the Fifth Prince lay on the bed and did not sleep all night. They still had the same reason. They were still injured at the moment and it was not suitable to go out in the middle of the night. They delayed it until the next day before ordering someone to carry them to see them. Sixth prince.

The sixth prince had improved a lot after crying last night, but when he saw his two brothers, he was filled with thoughts of longing and fear.

He recalled the situation when the three of them met with the assassination leader sent by their mother before the assassination of Yeshang. As soon as the two of them talked about Yeshang, murderous intent showed on their lips.

His heart skipped a beat, and he tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, and said calmly: "You two brothers had a good day yesterday."

When King Pingzhang heard this, his body stiffened and he said blankly: "It's okay, it's okay."

The fifth prince's body twitched even more, and his back was slightly cold: "It's okay, it's okay."

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other with guilty consciences, but for a moment, they both seemed to be stabbed in a painful place in their hearts, and immediately turned their heads to look at the Sixth Prince.

The two of them knew the Sixth Prince best. He was young and timid. Seeing that the Sixth Prince looked calm, the two of them just thought he was frightened last night.

"Sixth brother, there were no personal guards around me last night, so I couldn't pick you up."

"Yes, yes, fifth brother is like this too"

The reasons for the two of them were exactly the same. The sixth prince also realized it early in the morning. He called his guards in before dawn. After telling him what happened last night, his heart felt cold.

At this moment, listening to the lies told by the two brothers, my heart was filled with sorrow.

If he really regarded himself as a brother, why didn't they send anyone to pick him up after they returned to the camp? In the end, it was the second brother who sent someone to take him back.

When he thought of this, he looked at his two brothers and felt hypocritical in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Xue has ordered people to start pulling out the camp." The personal guard came in to report and saw that the two princes were there, but the atmosphere in the camp was strange, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look over.

"Okay, order people to pack up and set off immediately." The sixth prince left the camp expressionlessly.

King Pingzhang and the fifth prince were stunned. What happened to him?
  The two of them had a vague premonition that their sixth brother had changed.

-

After a night of interrogation, Yeshang found out that some of the men in black had confessed that the queen had ordered them to do it, and some of them knew nothing.

Ye Shang did not embarrass them, but sent these people directly back to his garrison camp and let people watch them.

According to Xu Yihuan, their lives will not be harmed, but they will be forced to do hard labor. However, according to Yeshang's wishes, he will not throw these people into hard labor so wastefully. After they have been working for a year and a half, he will Fish them out and serve as soldiers.

Afterwards, Vice General Du took the completed confessions and handed them to Yeshang with satisfaction.

They had been fighting against the queen for so many years to no avail. Miss Xu gave the prince a chance as soon as he took action.

"Your Majesty, while you are on your way during the day, you have some rest. There are still tough battles to be fought at night," Lieutenant General Du muttered.

There was no time when the King of Jin returned to the capital without coming out of a sea of ​​swords, guns and fire. This was the first day of his return to the capital, and the next few days were crucial.

Yeshang nodded and turned his horse.

Years of marching and fighting have taught Yeshang how to sleep on a horse.

So did Lieutenant General Du, so during the day today, Xu Yihuan and Magistrate Liu watched Ye Shang and his cavalry staggering behind the team, but everyone had their eyes closed on their faces. If Xu Yihuan had not only had one carriage, he would have invited those people to sleep in the carriage, but when she thought that the horse could not pull those people, she gave up that idea.

From Xiaocheng to return to the imperial court, we need to pass through five cities. Among them, the first city to Xiaocheng is the farthest and requires two days of marching to reach it.

All Xu Yihuan saw along the way were mountains and rivers. It was not until noon that he finally saw the figures of ordinary people.

"What are those people doing?" Xu Yihuan asked, pointing to the man wearing coarse linen clothes and patches. He saw that the man was carrying two rocks weighing more than 100 kilograms on both ends.

The pole on her body had been bent by a 45° arc. Xu Yihuan frowned worriedly, worried about what would happen if the pole accidentally broke and hit the man's bare toes.

The man's feet were covered with mud, and through the mud he could faintly see his toes that were red from the cold.

Xiaochun frowned and said, "A third-class good citizen is doing hard labor." She didn't expect that Miss Xu had never even seen hard labor.

Xu Yihuan was stunned: "Do you have to do hard work in such a cold weather?" Xu Yihuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky. It seemed that the farther he went to the capital, the colder the weather was. There would still be sporadic light snow falling, but it wasn't very heavy. After a while, Not for a while.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Liu said: "A third-class good citizen must serve for half a year and farm for half a year every year, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Xu Yihuan's face paused when he heard this: "Serving for half a year, doesn't that mean there is no rest at all?"

Magistrate Liu snorted and said, "Third-class good citizens, do you need a rest?" His words seemed to be mocking and demeaning.

Xu Yihuan was stunned for a moment, what about these soldiers?

Magistrate Liu was silent for a while and said: "Serve. I came to be a soldier because I didn't want to serve."

"Serving in the military? Is there an age limit?" She paused in her heart and frowned even more.

"Miss, you will start serving when you reach the age of 12," Xiaochun said softly, glancing around.

Jin soldiers and third-class good citizens served in accordance with the requirements of the Jin Dynasty. Thinking of this, Xiaochun became red-eyed.

Her husband also died on the battlefield because he was a soldier. He didn't know how he died in the end.

Xu Yihuan was silent for a while and said, "What about the woman?"

Xiaochun looked confused. She raised her eyes and looked at Magistrate Liu. Magistrate Liu paused and said: "A woman's bounden duty is to increase the number of people for promotion. After the age of 12, she works weaving, raising mulberry silkworms, building houses, herding and raising livestock. , and other lighter physical tasks, but these are the lives of third-class citizens."

He turned to look at Miss Xu and continued: "If you get the status of a noble family, you can marry with the noble family, and the noble family can drive slaves and good people to work."

Xu Yihuan's back felt cold, so she is now a noble, so she enjoys the hardship of not having to serve?
  Magistrate Liu frowned when he saw her expression change slightly.

Although she has lost her memory, she has not forgotten the system of Da Jin.

After saying that, he continued: "Beyond the nobles, there is the royal family. The royal family considers His Majesty's blood relatives to be the most important. The closer the blood is, the more noble it is." After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Shang, who was shaking his head to sleep.

Although he is also a prince, everyone in the Jin Dynasty knows that Yeshang's mother is a commoner, that is, a third-class good citizen.

Therefore, many nobles are skeptical of Yeshang's identity, but there are also many people who support Yeshang, such as good people.

Concubine Tao suddenly became His Majesty's concubine. Although she was spurned by the nobles and the royal family, she was loved by the good people of the third class.

Xu Yihuan understood what Magistrate Liu meant. She looked at Magistrate Liu with her eyes wide open, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of Yeshang. Although she didn't see Ye Shang, she suddenly understood.
