Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

It was break time and the slower students had not finished eating yet.

Those who are quick are already wandering around and having fun.

Next to it is a pool of green water.

Although it was spring, the sun was at its highest point in the afternoon and everyone was feeling a little hot.

Standing by the small pond and enjoying the scenery makes people feel relaxed and refreshed.

But the next moment, a scream broke the silence.

The rebellious teenager fell to the ground.

"Guo Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Guo Yang pointed to a place below the pool and stammered, "Yes, yes, there are people."

anyone?

How could there be someone in the water?

Either it's a monster, or... a dead person.

Bei Jingchu put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked over, and other students and teachers also gathered over.

Following the direction of Guo Yang's finger, a skeleton was seen at the bottom of the clear pool.

However, after discovering this place, everyone looked at it more intently.

The bottom of the quiet pool was blurry and unclear due to the deep water.

Not sure if it was Bei Jingchu’s illusion, but she felt that what was faintly visible were countless buried corpses.

Why are there so many corpses in such a nice pond?

She was not the only one who saw it, Bei Qin's expression was also very solemn.

"I'm afraid there have been many murders in this place."

"There is no way for a few of us to check it out."

He turned around and bowed to the teacher behind him: "Sir, why don't we send someone to the government office to deliver the letter and wait for them to investigate?"

However, Mr. Shu, who was always upright and irritable, was silent at this time.

He let out a long sigh, as if sighing out all the helplessness in his life.

"Sending a letter? Of course you can."

"The government will send runners to question you, and then tell you at the end that they can't get anything out of you, and it will become an unsolved cold case."

Mr. Shu's voice sounded extremely old, not at all as full of energy as before.

"But how could I not be able to ask the answer? I asked it myself."

"It's just that some unruly tribesmen were executed in the nearby villages."

"An affair."

"Ominous."

"Runaway."

"They may be guilty, but their crimes do not deserve the death penalty."

"The country has its own laws, but the clans will protect each other."

"In a place like the countryside, far away from towns, clan rules can restrain them better than national laws."

"There are too many such things, as numerous as the bones in this pool."

"Back then, when I was the same age as you, I also passed by here."

After saying this, Master Shu turned and left.

His figure looked a little hunched.

After hearing this, the atmosphere among the crowd became extremely depressing.

"Well, then, are we still going to sue the officials?"

"We have limited time and we can't stay here forever."

"Since it's useless to sue the authorities, then..."

Bei Jing first spoke, her childish voice firm and powerful: "Then we have to give it a try."

"Just give it a try, it's nothing."

"How can you just give up?"

She looked at the body at the bottom of the pool, which was covered in mud with only part of it exposed.

There are also faintly visible ropes wrapped around it.

Is this what it means to be sluggish?

The "prisoner" was tied up, stoned, and drowned in water without being allowed to struggle.

Sometimes, they are placed in a pig cage and sink along with the stones.

She had only heard about it before, but it was not until she saw with her own eyes the pool full of bones that she began to understand the cruelty of it.

Those who were struggling in the water wanted to breathe a breath of oxygen, but what they got was the cold water pouring into their nostrils.

How painful it must have been for them to suffocate to death in despair.

Bei Jingchu suddenly understood the significance of leaving Beijing after entering Botang.

She was a princess of the dynasty since birth, and they were nobles of Dai Viet since birth.

Being praised in a heap of splendor.

If you hadn't come out, how would you know the cruelty outside.

No matter how much you read, the people you cultivate are just fools who think "why not eat meat?"

Only by seeing the true face of the world can you know how to change it.

And she, perhaps, could not even see one tenth of the cruelty.

After this incident, everyone felt much heavier.

It was night and we hadn’t entered the city yet.

Everyone set up tents in the suburbs.

Bei Hua and Lei Nian'er slept together, and they had never seen such scenes before.

Everyone has their own secrets at home, but after coming out, within less than a day, I realized that those were just trivial matters.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the corpses in the pool appeared, all of them were silent ghosts.

The two little girls hugged each other tightly, trying to make each other feel safe, but they still couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, Lei Nian'er spoke: "Huanhuan, let's go see the princess."

"She slept in a tent by herself, although Changyan and the others set up a small tent to keep watch nearby."

"But she's alone in there, so she might be scared."

"Maybe he's shivering in his quilt right now."

Bei Hua nodded her head buried in her arms.

The two men got up, put on their clothes and went to the largest tent.

As they got closer, Changyan, who was on duty at night, heard the noise and stuck his head out.

Bei Hua asked quietly, "Is my cousin asleep?"

Changyan nodded.

They were a little skeptical. How could they fall asleep like this?

Changyan gestured for them to come closer.

When I got to the tent, I heard a soft snoring sound from behind a piece of cloth.

Two people:......

When they arrived in Pingzhou, the governor came in person to pick up the students.

The teacher secretly glanced at the little girl in the team.

When they went to other provincial capitals, they did not have the honor of being personally welcomed by the provincial governor.

It is not considered impolite to send someone to receive you.

This time, the governor came in person, probably because he had a young noble with him.

It was Bei Jingchu’s first time out of Beijing, and she found everything interesting.

Going north from the capital, the customs of the people here are more unrestrained.

As I was looking at it, a big face appeared in front of me.

The governor leaned forward and approached her: "Hello, Princess. What do you think of the customs and folkways of Pingzhou?"

The words were normal, but the tone was familiar, the kind used to coax a child.

[Alas~ I feel like I’ve been treated perfunctorily again~]

[I can’t help it~ I’m still young, but I’m smart, clever, and resourceful~]

Lei Nian'er on the side rolled her eyes silently.

Haoyue nodded secretly in her heart, that's right! Your Highness is so outstanding!

All the way to the governor's mansion, the governor spoke to her kindly.

After walking this far, everyone was exhausted, after a night.

The governor ordered someone to invite them, but he said, "No need to invite the princess, let her sleep a little longer."

But the other driver didn't understand: "Why is this?"

Facing the confusion of his deputy, he said: "What do you know? How can a six-year-old child come out to assist officials?"

"Can she understand those files?"

"I guess the little princess felt bored in the capital, so His Majesty sentenced her to enter Botang and let her go out to play with the others."

"It's safer than letting her come out on her own."

"We just need to entertain this little princess well. If we really let her do the job, it will only make the situation worse."
