After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 218
In the hall of the inn, many people were crowded together, all of them were dressed in rags, their faces were gray, as if they were covered with a layer of dust.Jiang Huaiyang stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, especially eye-catching.

The few guards accompanying them were top-notch, and this made these people survive.

Ruan Yuyi wore a snow green skirt, a silver hairpin decorated with carved butterflies, and walked down from the dark place upstairs with the handrails on her hair. When the sunlight fell on her body, the butterfly on the hairpin also dangled and flapped its wings like it was about to fly.

She took a glance, deliberately passed by the guards, and called out, "Husband." The two guards along the road were forced to put down their swords.

She put her arms around his arm, leaning on him with most of her weight as if she had no bones, thinking about something inwardly, her lowered eyes were awe-inspiring.

Jiang Huaiyang looked at her sideways, "Didn't I tell you to stay up there?" He couldn't let her hurt anymore.

The first-class people below couldn't help but say, "You mean what you just said?" The light in his eyes was full of distrust.

They came from a city in northern Xinjiang, wandered all the way, and dragged their families here.It's just that the officials in the city were driving away the refugees who broke into the city, they hid in the ruined temple for two days, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they rushed into the nearby inn.

"It's true." Jiang Huaiyang said quietly.

But the refugee who seemed to be the leader did not waver, but sneered, "You said that you would provide rice and shelter, and you think we are so stupid? It's just an excuse to drive us back!"

In his suppressed voice, there was the wind and frost he had suffered in the past few days, as well as his hostility towards the man in brocade in front of him.

They heard too many words like this, and every time they passed by, they used both soft and hard methods to drive them away.But why?Are the people of the neighboring cities not the people?

On the one hand, the five or six-year-old child was frightened by his father's tone, and went straight into his mother's arms, the low cry was especially loud at this time.

The woman hugged her child tightly, bowed slightly, and stared at the person in front of her, completely defensive.She was silent for a while, intending to get up.

The guard at the side was startled and held his sword in front of her.After all, the woman was afraid, and the hands holding the child were trembling slightly at this moment.

Ruan Yuyi's throat stopped, and she blurted out, "What are you doing? Don't put down the sword yet."

After all, the guards were used by the new emperor. Hearing her order, he just hesitated, but did not take back his raised hand.

"Are you deaf?" Jiang Huaiyang said slowly.

The contemptuous tone fell into the guard's ears, but it made him shiver. Knowing that the new emperor was going along with Concubine Jin, he hurriedly sheathed his sword.The rest of the guards hesitated for a while, and also took the cold blade away.

The tense atmosphere in the hall disappeared a lot.

Ruan Yuyi withdrew her hand from Jiang Huaiyang and took a clean handkerchief. She wanted to wipe the child's tears directly, but after a pause, she handed it to the woman. "Don't be afraid, it's okay." She said softly.

The woman flinched, staring at the beautifully dressed woman in front of her, and did not answer.

She sighed, trying to make the woman let go of her guard, "He didn't coax you."

The woman pursed her lips and asked, "Why do you say that?" She had heard such words a lot, and although she didn't believe them easily, her tone inevitably contained hope.

If it is really possible to live, who would be willing to leave the hometown where they are rooted?
"Can you tell me, where are you going?" Ruan Yuyi spoke as softly as possible, not wanting to scare her any longer.

Seeing that she was kind, the woman was willing to say a few more words, "For the purpose of suing the imperial court." In order to bring down that corrupt official and regain the right to live.

Hearing this, she was startled, and subconsciously looked back.

He was tall and tall, with slender eyebrows and handsome eyes, especially when he was wearing casual clothes, he looked more like an ordinary nobleman. No one would have thought that the person they were looking for was standing there, but they didn't know it.

The headed refugee, Xu Shi, still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would really do what he said, and asked again, "Why do you want us to believe that you will keep your promise?"

Jiang Huaiyang opened his lips and asked, "Didn't you say you want to sue the imperial court? Do you know what the consequences will be?" Generally, there will be a grievance drum in front of the gate of the government, and it is not easy for the parents to sue.

The man's eyes were firm, he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "If the people sue the officials, if a son kills his father, he should be punished with fifty canes first. Even if he wins, he will be sentenced to two thousand li."

His voice was sonorous and powerful, like a big drum, echoing in the hall of the inn.

He naturally knew that sitting on the cane fifty times would be tantamount to killing someone, but he was forced to a desperate situation, and he had to try the last method.

"Now that you know it, you still want to sue?"

"tell!"

Jiang Huaiyang laughed suddenly, and it took him a long while to suppress the smile, then raised his eyelids and said, "Well, tell me." He was born in the palace since he was a child, although he was often bullied because of his birth mother's humble background, but fortunately he was protected by the concubine, so that Lack of food and clothing, he has never experienced the suffering of these people.

If the people can make up their minds like this, the local officials really can't stay.

It's just that he doesn't know how many things he doesn't know.

Seeing his dark eyes, Wen Zhi, who was standing beside him, turned his gaze back.It seems that there will inevitably be a bloodbath in the court again. Those who colluded with corruption may have their best days come to an end.

The leader opened his lips, "What do you mean?" He remembered that the new emperor had only been on the throne for a few months, and he was a young man in his twenties.

He slowly opened his eyes wide, and the gentleman in Xuanyi in front of him was still watching him.

He realized that he couldn't stand his head, but something seemed to be choked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

The woman and Ruan Yuyi looked at each other.Ruan Yuyi took the child in her hands, gently patted his back to coax him, and wiped away his tears.There was a lot of wind, sand and dust on his face, and after changing two veils, it became quite fair.

The woman also stopped her head, praised "Long live" a few times loudly, and then counted the official's crimes for her husband one by one.At this time, all the relatives of the township party who were traveling together covered their mouths and wept.

In fact, this matter has been noticed long ago. When these refugees traveled eastward, the officials who raised taxes without permission had been demoted and exiled, and new officials were handed over to take office.

But they didn't come here in vain.

Jiang Huaiyang's eyes darkened, and he said "Yun" in a low voice.

The woman seemed to have lifted a heavy burden from her body, and almost fell to the ground crying.Is her child still young and doesn't know what's going on, seeing his mother like this, he feels uneasy, crying and going to find her.

Ruan Yuyi couldn't hold him anymore, so Mu Xiang took over.
.
As soon as this matter was over, Wen Zhi ordered people to resettle these people, and sent chariots and horses back to the city when they returned, and those who did not want to leave would move here to live here.But Ruan Yuyi didn't know that he arranged this way.

After daybreak, the group of them also left for Beijing.

Inside the car, the incense balls wafted out a fragrance, lingering in her nostrils.She was silent for a while, then asked, "Those people, are they really going to be dealt with according to what they said?"

His face remained unchanged, and he continued following her words, "The law of Dawu, it has been like this throughout the ages—"

"The courtiers and concubines just don't understand where those people are wrong." Even though it has been like this in the past dynasties, there has never been any mistakes.
