Chapter 682 Fight against injustice
The more Luo Jingshen thought about it, the more excited he became.
He couldn't wait to rush into the busiest teahouse in the capital, wanting to hear what the people thought about this matter.
Luo Jingshen originally thought that he would hear the people's accusations and abuses against Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
Unexpectedly, almost all the people in the teahouse were standing up for Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
Someone said: "This emperor is too partial. If the person who went to Liangzhoukou to rescue people was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, would he demote His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi to commoners as well?"
Another young woman said: "Just think about it and you will know that the emperor will never do this. Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi are the treasures of the emperor, and His Royal Highness the Night King is the straw that was casually abandoned."
"Over the years, His Majesty the Night King has led troops in battle and defeated millions of enemy troops. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard, right?"
"But who could have imagined that the War God Prince would be paralyzed in bed for three years, during which time anyone could step on him, and he was not valued by the Emperor and Concubine Li at all."
"And the first thing he did after he stood up was not to go out for food and entertainment, but to go to Liangzhoukou, thousands of kilometers away, to rescue his subordinates. If it were someone else, who would be able to do this?"
"It shows how protective and loyal His Highness the Night King is. Only a man like him can lead us ordinary people to live a good life."
After the woman finished speaking, the people around her began to echo her.
"Who said it wasn't? Men like His Highness the Night King are rare these days."
“Maybe you’ve only heard half of it, and you don’t know the other half at all.”
"His Highness the Night King and his wife went to Liangzhoukou to rescue people, but they saved not only their two subordinates, but also the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people in Liangzhoukou."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately asked.
"What's going on? Can you tell us?"
The man then spoke: "After His Royal Highness Ye Wang and his wife went to Liangzhoukou, they found that the area had been dry for half a year. All the crops in the fields had died, and the people were starving and couldn't even afford a meal."
"And the merchants there are colluding with the government to raise the price. A pound of brown rice is sold for three hundred coins. Isn't this going to rip off the people?"
"After Princess Ye went there, she felt sorry for the people there who couldn't afford food, so she bought tens of thousands of kilograms of rice out of her own pocket and went to help the people of Liangzhoukou for free. She also personally cooked porridge for them to do charity."
"Not only that, Princess Ye and His Royal Highness the Night King also went to the mountain at the entrance of Liangzhou and blasted the rocks there, helping them to divert the water from the mountain to the fields below, alleviating the drought in the farmland and allowing the people to grow crops there."
"They saw how hard it was for the common people to fetch water, so they even spent their own money to find people to help them dig a few wells in every village."
"His Highness the Night King and his wife are not disturbing the public order of Liangzhoukou. They are clearly doing good deeds."
When the people heard this, they all sighed.
You must know that the news that Emperor Jingyang had people spread outside only said that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were doing evil things in Liangzhoukou and ruining the reputation of the royal family.
But he never mentioned that the Night King and the Night Queen had done so many good things outside.
Logically speaking, providing food to save people and fight disasters should be the court's business, and it is not the turn of the Night King and the Night Queen to intervene.
But what about Emperor Jingyang?
Not only did he not spend a penny or give even a pound of rice, but he also put such a big accusation on the Night King and the Night Princess, saying that he would take away all the property in the Night King's Mansion.
It is really immoral for him to do this.
If everyone is so selfish in the future, who will dare to stand up for the common people when something happens?
Thinking of this, the people felt resentful and began to denounce Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
"The Night King and the Night Queen did nothing wrong. They were kind-hearted and saved people. The court should reward them instead of arresting them and locking them up in the clan residence."
"That's right, the Night King and his wife are good people. The mayor of Liangzhoukou should have died. He took human life lightly and tortured and killed young girls. He deserved to die."
“If it weren’t for him, how could the people there have such a hard and difficult life?”
"Release the Night King and the Night Queen. We can't let the heroes lose heart."
"The Night King and the Night Queen are great benefactors to us common people. The court cannot demote them to commoners."
"..."
When the common people in the teahouse shouted like this, others followed suit.
Soon, the deeds of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were spread throughout the capital and became known to everyone.
After learning all the truth, everyone joined the camp of people calling for the court to release Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe from the clan house.
When Luo Jingshen saw this scene, he almost went crazy.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?!"
"What virtue and ability did these two bastards Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe have to make so many people in the capital stand up for them?"
They even formed groups, made their own flags and wooden signs, held them in their hands, and shouted as they walked.
Luo Jingshen couldn't help but think in his heart, if he was the one who was arrested and taken to the clan house this time, would there be someone who would stand up for him like this?
He thought about it and felt that there would definitely not be such a day.
Not to mention, his reputation is not as good as Luo Junhe's, and he has never led troops on the battlefield.
Secondly, he was reluctant to spend his own money to buy so much refined rice to help those poor people.
What does it have to do with him whether those people are dead or alive?
If there is any concern, it is his father who ordered the payment of silver and took money from the national treasury.
It would be a dream to ask him to pay this kind of money out of his own pocket.
In just one hour, the people's spontaneously organized team even reached the gate of the palace.
When Eunuch Zhang reported the matter to Emperor Jingyang in a panic, he was still holding Concubine Li's waist, enjoying the beauty's service.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li, something terrible has happened."
"After the people outside learned that the Night King and the Night Princess were imprisoned in the clan residence, they spontaneously organized a team and demanded that Your Majesty release the Night King and the Night Princess."
"Now, these people have already reached the gate of the palace."
When Concubine Li on the bed heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked.
She looked at the man next to her and asked in horror: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
Concubine Li came to find him after she learned that Emperor Jingyang had demoted Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe to commoners, wanting to find out the truth.
Unexpectedly, the two of them rolled together.
He was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so he looked at Emperor Jingyang anxiously, but he heard Emperor Jingyang say:
"What are you afraid of? They are just a bunch of unruly people. Just let the Royal Guards drive them away."
Emperor Jingyang didn't take these ordinary people outside seriously at all.
In his opinion, how many people would dare to openly go against the imperial court?
I’m afraid I can count them on ten fingers.
