Chapter 194 Outbreak
The next day.
The sky turned white, and the people of Lin'an exploded again.
The streets and alleys were crowded with people. Their faces were full of excitement about gossip.
A woman in a navy blue blouse holds a basket in one hand and squats on the ground with the other, picking at the juicy radishes on the stall.
"Hey, this eldest princess is also ill-fated. She was given to General Mu last night, but the general died overnight."
The aunt who was buying vegetables responded when she heard this.
"No, I heard that she was suffering from heart disease due to being too excited. The emperor loves her so much. I heard that she didn't go to court this morning. She feels very uncomfortable."
"They are all freshly picked from the fields. Madam, if you choose more, I will give you a cheaper price."
The man making candy at the stall next to him was humming a little tune.
"The general has made great achievements in the war, risking his life to protect our people. Without the Mu family army, how could we have the peace we have today? Let me tell you, this princess has eyes above the top. She has oppressed many people over the years, and she is not worthy of Mu."
Young general, it’s a good death.”
As soon as this was said, everyone agreed.
"No, General Mu is so brave. It would be bad luck to marry a princess."
"Yes, yes, the princess has not seen many signs. She is far inferior to General Mu's biological sister. Her character is not good, and her appearance is not good either. How can such a person be the young lady of the General's Mansion?"
When the woman heard this, she paused while holding the carrot, but she said disapprovingly.
"No matter what, Princess Princess is gone, so you should keep some virtue in your mouth."
As she spoke, she put the radish on the scale.
"What do you know? She is a princess. She has a distinguished status. If you ask me, she should be held high by the general. After all, the princess is raised in the name of the queen. If General Mu takes the princess, first the emperor and then the Chi family will become his patrons.
It will definitely become even more powerful.”
As soon as she said this, the vegetable seller's face turned dark.
The woman said and went to get her purse: "How much is it? You can give it to me cheaper. If it's more expensive, I won't take it."
Auntie: "Bah! I won't sell you any more!"
Woman:???
The aunt pinched the carrot and pointed it at the woman.
"Go, go, go! Don't block my business. You are so high-ranking in the general's office. Believe it or not, I will drive you away with a broom!"
"Does a man like General Mu need to rely on women?"
Hearing about the Chi family made her furious.
Auntie didn’t sell any more radishes. She said in a loud voice.
"Cheng You went to kneel in front of the Yamen again this morning, and he was injured again! He was dripping with blood! He knelt there and still refused to leave. This child has potential. If nothing happens, the family will be harmonious and beautiful! What happened to this kind of child?
The thing is, he is stubborn, I have watched him grow up, and his life has been full of misfortunes, so why not thanks to the Chi family!"
"My husband is dead and my son is gone. I'm not afraid of death! I'm going to stop talking about it today. The Chi family, bah! They are a bunch of heartless dogs."
She cursed and almost jumped up.
The woman was so angry: "Are you crazy? You haven't even made any money yet?"
But the aunt was not afraid at all, and even said harsh words: "Even if my food is spoiled or rotten, I will not sell it to you!"
"How can I starve to death if I don't have enough carrot money like you?"
The crowd gradually crowded, but there was a burst of cheers.
The woman was anxious and annoyed, but she was afraid of losing face, so she ran away in despair.
The aunt arranged the carrots again and kept mumbling.
"I also heard that Fan Guo intends to get that bitch Chi Xingxun to get married. If you want me to see it, go ahead and don't let it go to harm the people of the Celestial Dynasty."
"Not to mention Cheng You. Over the years, two young ladies have been raped by Chi Xingxun. Two of them went crazy, three of them hanged themselves, and several others were forcibly taken to his house by him and became his aunts."
"brute!"
Some words, once spoken, cannot be stopped.
The aunt didn't sell any more food, so she just stood there and yelled.
"Chi Xingxun is rich in money. Why, are those who died at his hands and tortured to death despicable?"
Her words touched the hearts of so many people.
Who doesn't know what Chi Xingxun has done in these years? He can only keep it in his heart, and he doesn't even dare to go to the Yamen to complain.
A strong man pressed forward.
"Auntie! I'm going to eat all your food just because I'm making such bold remarks to you!"
Happiness comes too fast, like a tornado.
"Really...really! Then I'll give you the cheapest price!"
"Don't give me a cheap deal! You give me a penny, but you just look down on me. After buying groceries, I have to go to the Yamen. Cheng You is a tough guy, but he can't be killed by the Yamen people like this!"
The crowd fell silent, and soon, a weak voice appeared.
The old man with gray hair and a crooked back leaned on a wooden stick and said, "I'll go too."
As she spoke, she vented her anger and hit the ground with a wooden stick.
"My eldest daughter-in-law was aborted by Chi Xingxun as soon as she became pregnant, and the baby was aborted! The eldest son was even beaten to death by him with a stick."
As soon as she said this, many people sighed. The middle-aged man next to her had a long face.
"Mom, you don't care about my life or death? It's been three years, why do you still bring it up? My eldest brother is already dead, why do you still want the whole family to bury him with him?"
The old man burst into tears.
"He is a piece of flesh that I have lost! I disown you as my son today, and the relationship between mother and son has been severed. I have to go too!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"I am coming too!"
"I am coming too!"
"Damn it, I want to see if the Chi family can really cover up the sky with one hand."
The news of Zhou Yuan's death was quickly suppressed.
Another incident also caused a stir.
The Marquis of Yong'an robbed a daughter of the people and forced his late step-sibling Ruan Xi to marry him. He broke up Ruan Xi's existing engagement and used his overwhelming power to force her to submit.
Fan Cheng got it but didn't cherish it. He was cold-hearted and unjust. The whole Fan family was full of wolves and leopards. When Ruan Xi gave birth, the news broke that he chose to save Ruan Xi's life and killed two.
Following this, one after another thunder exploded in the air of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
——The deceased Mr. Fan once leaked the scientific examination questions. That year, a branch of the Fan family won the top prize.
——Fan Cheng once appointed Fan Cheng to send the grain and silver to the disaster area. However, he and the local magistrate accidentally embezzled and divided up the money. That year, tens of thousands of people starved to death for no reason.
——Fan Kun was famous in front of others, but he was a hypocrite. After his body became inhumane, he killed countless women in private.
——……
One by one, one by one...
As a result, people gathered at the gates of Lin'an Yamen and the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.
People from the yamen tried to drive Cheng You away.
Cheng You knelt on the ground, and the clothes on his back were torn by thorn sticks, leaving blood marks one after another.
Every word he said was bloody: "If I don't leave, I will die here today, and I will avenge my father."
The people surrounded him in a circle, and as soon as the government officials approached, someone shouted loudly.
"Kill them, the people from the yamen will kill people regardless of severity!"
Yamen:...Don't be like this, I'm afraid.
But there was a group of ladies standing in front of the gate of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, holding rotten eggs and throwing them in front of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
The guards at the Marquis Mansion stopped him fiercely, but the ladies were not afraid at all.
