Pluto's Golden Concubine

It seems that her intuition is not wrong, it is indeed that He Jiangguo has changed, and some things may have happened after they left, and whether these things are important or not, they must know!

"Go and ask someone!"

Situ Xiyue ordered Qingyao to ask someone on the street.

The best way to know what happened in Hejiang Country is to ask the people here, whether it is important affairs of the court or family affairs, the people here know all about it, as long as they can find anyone, they will find out!

Qingyao found a man who looked honest and honest, he looked like a loyal farmer, saw him tidying up his own vegetables, and there were not many vegetables, these vegetables were just prolific and could not be eaten at home, Take it out and sell it to make some money.

"Uncle, we just came back from another place, may I ask what happened to our He Jiang country?"

When the man heard someone coming to ask him something, he raised his head, and a vicissitudes of face immediately came into Qing Yao's eyes.

Seeing Qingyao, a girl as beautiful as flowers and jade, asking him questions so politely, and that Qingyao's clothes seemed to be made of high-quality silk, the old farmer didn't dare to neglect, and quickly stood up.

"You just came back from other places, so you must not know about the change of owner of the Hejiang Kingdom?"

"Then dare to ask the old man who is the current monarch?"

After hearing Qing Yao's words, the old farmer stretched out his hand to signal her to get closer. Calling the emperor by his name is a serious crime for exterminating the nine clans!

"The current reigning emperor is the former crown prince, Xuanyuanzhi."

After listening to the old man's words, Qing Yao had a sudden realization expression.

But this is not enough to solve her doubts, why are all the people so cautious?

"Old man, there is still one thing I don't know about the little girl."

"It's just that the Hejiang Kingdom has changed hands, so why are the people so quiet and the noisy streets in the past have disappeared?"

Hearing the little girl's unclear question, the old farmer sighed.

"Seeing that you are all wealthy people, you should be more careful!"

After saying this, the old farmer was about to collect the greens and go home. He had already said enough today. Commenting on the royal family would be a head-scratcher. He still has a whole family to take care of!

"Old man, old man, don't go now! I want all these vegetables, you just need to give me some more. We finally came home, we haven't lived a life yet, so why should we be careful?" ?”

As Qingyao said, she had already stuffed a heavy bag of silver money to the old farmer, but the old farmer didn't dare to accept it, so he hurriedly pushed it back.

Seeing the old man's hesitation, Qing Yao immediately said, "Don't be afraid, old man, you take the money, and our lady will take care of you!"

The old farmer glanced at Situ Xiyue and his party not far away, all of them looked extraordinary, and they must not be ordinary people.

"Old man, come with me and return what Miss said!"

Unknowingly, the old farmer followed Qingyao to Situ Xiyue and the others. The aura of these people made him unable to lift his head.

"Old farmer, see you young masters and ladies—"

Seeing that the old farmer in front of him was a bit old-fashioned, but still very polite, Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Please, old man! We walked all the way and saw that the people of this Hejiang country are all cautious. Could it be that something happened to this Hejiang country?"

Situ Xiyue helped the old man up, and asked out the doubts in her heart.

"Miss must not know—" the old man looked around to make sure there was no one else around before he continued, "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has implemented the rule of severe torture, which is many times heavier than before. , and made everyone panic, afraid of being caught and going to jail."

Upon hearing this, Situ Xiyue frowned.

This rule should rule the world with benevolence and love. A rule that relies solely on torture and cruel laws will not last long.

People are just afraid of you and won't obey you!

"The new emperor?"

Situ Xiyue looked at Qing Yao suspiciously.

"Miss Hui, it's the former crown prince, Xuanyuanzhi."

Hearing that the girl next to a young lady dared to call the emperor by his name directly, the old farmer showed panic.

The young masters and young ladies in front of me must be big backs!I dare not neglect.

"When did he become emperor?"

"Miss Hui, the last time he attacked Mu Xuguo, the new emperor invaded and annexed Mu Xuguo, and suddenly became the new heir. Those veterans were all killed, and the nine clans were implicated."

The old farmer told Situ Xiyue everything he knew in fear.

It turned out that Xuanyuanzhi took advantage of Hua Yiyi's attack on Mu Xuguo and took Mu Xuguo for himself. He changed from a deposed prince to a new heir apparent!

With Xuanyuanzhi's temperament, it's not surprising that he did these things.

Those people must be dissatisfied with Xuanyuanzhi's actions, so they occasionally whispered a few words, but forced by Xuanyuanzhi's iron-blooded wrist, who would dare to say anything?

Although people dare not say anything about his rule like this, people's grievances are already everywhere!

"Old man, please tell us this!"

"Qingyao, give the old man some money."

The old man took the heavy money and walked away quickly. The money was enough for them to live on for a lifetime, so he should go home quickly!

It turned out that quite a lot of things happened during this period, so wouldn't Xuanyuan Zhi not allow people to gossip about him?

No wonder people are panic-stricken, he must have set a heavy punishment, and everyone is careful not to be touched.

"Miss, just now the old man reminded us to be careful."

Qing Yao told her young lady about the old man's kind reminder just now.

"It doesn't matter, we only care about living our lives well, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me!"

She, Situ Xiyue, had never paid much attention to that Xuanyuan!

She just wants to live her own life well, and she doesn't have the heart to worry about the arrogant new emperor!

"Let's go! Let's go back to Situ Mansion!"

Situ Xiyue pulled Chi Xueyun and Qing Yao back into the carriage, and the group headed towards Situ's mansion.

"I didn't expect the new emperor of the Hejiang Kingdom to implement such a cruel rule. Those people don't seem to dare to discuss state affairs on the street."

Chi Xueyun analyzed what she heard just now. Compared to He Jiangguo, Shu Yueguo has much more freedom of speech, at least they don't have to worry about losing their heads all the time!

"Is it because they dare not discuss important national affairs? I see that they are cautious even when speaking, for fear that people will catch them and put them in prison!"

Qing Yao took Chi Xueyun's words and continued.

Qing Yao suddenly thought of an important matter, and quickly looked at Situ Xiyue seriously.

"Miss, you said we are back, will he come to trouble us?"
