Concubine's true colors

Chapter 37 Prince Rui Arrives
Sure enough, as Song Peng expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the people watching around started talking.

"Did you see, that person is Xiao Jinlian's sister, if she is born like that, this young lady, I'm afraid it will be even worse."

"Isn't it? Look, they all ran to the Yamen to act wildly. This Xiao family is too arrogant."

Xiao Jinxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, she could hear these discussions clearly, she turned to face the people around her, and she watched them calmly.

Then he raised his eyebrows and said: "My Xiao family has been in Yangzhou for more than ten years. Everyone asks their hearts, but they have done things to bully the people and bully others. Those rumors are just bad words and slanders from villains. You only see how miserable my Xiao family is, but you don't know. , my Xiao family is the biggest victim in this matter..."

After she finished speaking, someone among the common people immediately nodded and said: "That's right, the Xiao family has always been kind, but now that it's snowing, they also give out porridge every day. Among us, there are not a few people who have gone to get the porridge."

Seeing the people looking at me, the eyes are much better.

She hurriedly continued: "What's more, Mr. Song, you are too small-minded. Before I speak, you think that I am not angry and come to cause trouble deliberately. Could it be that you have a guilty conscience and did something wrong? , that’s why you miss me so much?”

Song Peng lifted the sleeve of his robe and snorted, unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan kicked the ball back to him with just a few words.

Knowing that splashing dirty water is useless, Song Peng had no choice but to ask: "Well, even if you didn't come to cause trouble, but beating the Tongtian drum is a capital crime, if you can't explain the reason, I can only deal with you according to the law today. "

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan sneered, and said softly, "I don't need to worry about doing it according to the law. If you want to do it, you, Song Peng, should be done first!"

Hearing this, Song Peng became anxious and snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the governor of Yangzhou, who dares to punish me."

Xiao Jinxuan snorted and asked, "It turns out that Master Song still knows that he is the governor of Yangzhou. Then let me ask you, now that the people of Yangzhou are suffering from snow, why don't you open the warehouse to release food and save the people from the fire?" .”

Song Peng's breathing was stagnant, and he quickly argued: "The city is guarding food, and there is no order from the court. It cannot be tampered with, otherwise it will be a death penalty. Besides, snow is a natural disaster. Even though I am a parent official in a city, I can't do anything about it."

A cunning flashed in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, what I was waiting for was your words from Song Peng!

She suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, then pointed at Song Peng fiercely.He asked loudly: "If you can do nothing, you will put the life and death of the people in the city at risk. Mr. Song, since you are incompetent, how can you have any face, sitting in the position of governor!"

Ignoring Song Peng Tieqing's face, Xiao Jinxuan twitched the corner of her mouth, and continued: "There is no transfer order, what a good reason, but I am afraid that Master Song Pan will come to transfer orders, and my Yangzhou will become a dead city."

These words really touched the hearts of the common people. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is only ten days away, there is no joy in the city of Yangzhou.

Even eating is a problem for everyone. Watching corpses being dragged away every day, the endurance in their hearts has actually reached the verge of collapse.

No one took the lead before, but now that Xiao Jinxuan said this, the people below were really enthusiastic, and they all joined in, clamoring for Song Peng to open a warehouse to release food.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Song Peng immediately waved his hand to let the government servants go down, and suppress and arrest these booing commoners.

But as soon as he moved, Xiao Jinxuan immediately let go: "Listen, all the family members of the Xiao family, my folks in Yangzhou have been tortured by snow for many days, how can I be oppressed by the government now, whoever dares to hurt someone today, you immediately Take it for me."

Xiao Heng is a military commander, the servants in this mansion are much better at punching and kicking than those yamen servants, after knocking down the leading yamen servants to the ground, the two sides were in a stalemate.

Seeing that with the support of the Xiao family, more and more people shouted and questioned him, Song Peng was very anxious.

"Miss Si, you keep saying that for the sake of the people in this city, you force the lower officials to open the warehouse to release grain. But your father is also the Jiedu envoy of Yangzhou, why don't you ask your father to open the warehouse, you just push me to the front, you What is An De thinking?"

Xiao Jinxuan snorted, pushed away the people protecting her, and stood directly in front of Song Peng with a mocking look on her face.

"Master Song is wrong. You know my father, now even the military rations are transferred out without authorization, and they will be transported to the city within three days. You should know that it is a death penalty to tamper with the military rations. My father is not afraid of life and death, and he is determined For the sake of the people in the city, you still want to be criticized by you now, Song Peng, what face do you have to say these words."

Xiao Jinxuan's words completely made the common people boil. Even the most ignorant women and children know that military supplies and tampering with them are capital crimes. However, Lord Jiedu even gave up his own life to save them. How can you not be excited.

At this time, everyone was looking at Song Peng with obvious disdain and disgust.

I heard from the other party before that it is impossible to open a position without a transfer order. Although the people are angry, they have nothing to do. After all, they also follow the rules.

But now there is Xiao Heng, in this comparison, the countenance of Mr. Song is disgusting, and people can't help but feel that his words are just excuses, just to keep his wealth, so he doesn't Put the life and death of the whole city in your eyes.

Xiao Jinxuan has been paying attention, watching the changes of the people, knowing that at this time a strong medicine will be administered, Song Peng will completely lose the popularity of the people, and the Xiao family's reputation will be regained.

Thinking in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan immediately walked to the five carriages that she had brought. When she passed by, the people around them all spontaneously gave way, and there were expressions of gratitude and admiration in their eyes.

Xiao Jinxuan came to the carriage, grabbed the silk covering it, and lifted it violently, and then a load of bulging sacks appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

She lifted the silk cloths of several other cars one by one, and said loudly: "Fathers and elders, Mr. Song is protecting Wusha. Whether you live or die is his business. But my father, as a Jiedu envoy, My Xiao family will never stand idly by, today I beat the Tongtian Drum just to call everyone and distribute the five carts of grain to everyone for free."

The onlookers cheered deafeningly. There were too many of them, and they couldn't remember themselves, and they hadn't eaten enough for many days.

I don't know who took the lead first, but everyone knelt down to Xiao Jinxuan one after another, thanking her a thousand times, comparing her to a living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

Xiao Jinxuan watched all this with a calm face. This is the aspiration of the people mentioned in the book. After this incident, as long as someone mentions this snow disaster, her name, Xiao Jinxuan, will be remembered forever.

With this level of prestige, when she returns to the capital, she wants to see who would dare to push the fate of being married in her previous life on her.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Song Peng knew that what he was saying was useless. He felt dizzy and almost fell down, but was supported from behind.

He fixed his eyes and saw that it was Ji Lingfeng.

Ji Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "I really underestimated this woman. I didn't expect her to be able to buy people's hearts. After this incident, I'm afraid Xiao Heng's reputation will reach its peak. Our previous plan, It's a waste."

The sixth prince also said anxiously: "If you want to blame, blame Xiao Heng for being too courageous, even daring to mobilize the army rations, what can be done now, let that girl be so proud."

Ji Lingfeng sneered, and said in a low voice: "Of course she can't be complacent. Although Xiao Heng said he was good at using military rations, but this matter will be brought to the capital. I'm afraid there will be merits if there is no fault. But what Xiao Jinxuan said right now is outrageous. The sixth prince is The royal family, now you have to come forward and take her down, and today's matter can be suppressed for the time being."

Hearing the words, the Sixth Prince knew that the matter was urgent. If Xiao Jinxuan was really allowed to donate rice and food at the gate of the government office, I am afraid that if he was catching the other party, the people in the city would not agree. This Fourth Miss is really too difficult to deal with and must be dealt with immediately. Just drop it.

Thinking of this, the sixth prince immediately ordered: "Come on, catch that seductive demon girl for me, and make her head in front of everyone, so as to reassure people's hearts."

At this moment, the sixth prince was murderous. Ji Lingfeng who was on the side frowned invisibly, and a look of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't say anything.

Following the order of the sixth prince, the guards he brought immediately surrounded Xiao Jinxuan. Although the people around were angry, they knew the identity of the other party, so they could only dare not speak out.

The servants of the Xiao family were naturally protecting Xiao Jinxuan, but compared with the sixth prince's guards, they were far behind, and they were all knocked to the ground.

Xiao Jinxuan clenched her hands tightly, looking out of the crowd from time to time, but she was thinking in her heart, could it be that she had misjudged that person, and he was also good at watching tigers from the top of a mountain.

Fortunately, she didn't pin all her hopes on the other party, otherwise she might really have to pay, and her life would be lost.

Seeing a guard walking towards her with a vicious face, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes turned cold, and she quietly passed the object in her hand behind her.

At this critical moment, suddenly a group of 50 soldiers and horses rushed over in uniform, fully armed.

Not only surrounded all the people around, but also suppressed all the dozen or so bodyguards of the Sixth Prince. The cold light of the sword shook everyone around, and everyone around them trembled in fear.

The sixth prince was also very frightened by this change, so he pointed to the soldiers and asked, "Who are you? I am the current sixth prince. How dare you take my people down? The death penalty of beheading."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of deep laughter, the voice was full of the calmness and stability of a superior.

"Sixth brother is very prestigious in Yangzhou now, but how does this king remember that you have no official position, and you have not been entrusted with the title of prince. If you open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, you will chop off people's heads. Sixth brother, you know that you are overstepping your authority." , is a felony punishable by beheading."

As soon as these words were finished, a group of more elite guards separated the crowd and walked in with one person behind, and the person who came was none other than Prince Rui, Zhou Xianrui.

The moment Xiao Jinxuan saw the other party, she lowered her head and let out a sigh of relief, knowing that what she planned today was considered a success.

But before she could take a few breaths, Zhou Xianrui's low voice with a smile came from beside her.

"Why, Miss Fourth is afraid now. You were very majestic just now. This king really admires you."

Raising her head abruptly, Xiao Jinxuan's sharp-edged, heroic handsome face was reflected in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes.

She looked a little lost for a moment.
