Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 28 I'll Strike You with Thunder

At dawn the next day, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard in the cell.

"Get up, it's time to go!" An angry shout rang out in the cell like thunder, waking everyone up.

"Hurry up and go in and put handcuffs on them!" The burly and ferocious-looking chief officer ordered loudly.

Following his order, several officers quickly stood up and opened the prison door, preparing to put heavy shackles on everyone.

Seeing this, Yun Qingqing said to the officers who followed in, "I'll put the shackles on them."

Now she should be honest and low-key, and she will rebel when she is far away from the capital.

With her great abilities, it is impossible for her to be exiled and act like a grandson!

Upon hearing this, several officers turned their eyes to the chief officer.

The chief constable, Tian San, narrowed his eyes, looked Yun Qingqing up and down, and said fiercely, "Hurry up and don't dawdle! And don't try to play any tricks, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

Yun Qingqing's face remained calm as she nodded. She picked up the shackles and walked over to the elder lady. Seeing her frown, she spoke soothingly, "Grandma, don't worry. Our family will be fine."

The elder lady listened to her comfort, feeling relieved that she had grown up, but also distressed that she would have to suffer. "Well, grandma, don't worry."

"Stop talking nonsense and put the handcuffs on them quickly!" Tian San's impatient voice rang out.

Yun Qingqing said nothing more, and quickly and gently put the handcuffs on the elder lady.

Then she quickly and gently put shackles on the other family members one by one.

"Children have to wear shackles too!" Tian San reminded in a deep voice after watching Yun Qingqing put shackles on the adult.

After these words were spoken, the faces of the elder lady and others turned a little ugly.

The shackles are so heavy that even an adult can't walk with them, let alone a child.

Wu frowned and said, "Sir, there's no need to put shackles on children. They..."

Tian San didn't want to listen to her, so he swung his whip and hit the prison door hard, interrupting her.

He said sternly, "Prisoners, stop negotiating with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dull "bang" and a rusty iron basin suddenly fell from above, hitting him squarely on the head. He screamed "Ah", his eyes were full of stars, his head was buzzing, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell to the ground.

The sudden change stunned the officials. A smile flashed in Yun Qingqing's eyes, but her face remained calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

"Captain, are you okay?" The officers hurriedly stepped forward to support the staggering Tian San, their tone full of worry.

Tian San threw the iron basin on his head heavily to the ground, covered his buzzing head, and glared upwards, wanting to see who was so bold as to hit him, but there was no one there, only a wooden shelf with some rusty iron basins on it. The iron basins had accidentally fallen and hit his head.

"Bastard! Who put the iron basin on top!" Tian San roared, the flesh on his face trembling with anger.

When Yun Qingqing was angry, she gently put shackles on the four little guys and said to them in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, your aunt will protect you."

"Auntie, we are not afraid." The four little ones said in unison, saying to her, "Auntie, we want to protect you."

Little aunt is the treasure of the family. Since they were born, they have been taught by the adults in the family to love and protect little aunt. The four little ones have regarded "protecting little aunt" as their mission in their hearts.

"So good." Yun Qingqing touched the heads of the four little guys. Even in this situation, they still wanted to protect her. These four little guys were really good.

Tian San roared a few words to vent his anger, then shouted at the officers, "Take them on their way!"

The elder lady and others stood up from the ground, but were surprised to find that the shackles they wore were not heavy at all, and it was the same as not wearing any shackles.

Everyone's expression was filled with shock as they looked at the shackles on their hands and feet. These shackles were made of iron, so how come they looked like they were not being worn at all?

The four little guys also looked at the shackles on their hands and feet in surprise, and were shocked that the shackles were not heavy at all.

Although everyone was surprised that the shackles felt weightless, they were smart enough not to say anything.

……

Everyone in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was put in shackles and escorted slowly towards the city gate by more than 20 officers. The sky was gloomy today, just like the mood of the Duke of Protectorate, depressed and heavy.

The streets were crowded with onlookers, who were whispering and talking to each other, their faces full of anger and disappointment.

"Hmph, you can't judge a person by his appearance. The Duke of Protectorate usually acts like they love the Great Zhou, but I never expected them to commit such acts of treason. I hate people like this the most." An old man's eyes were filled with anger. He had once believed that the Duke of Protectorate would forever protect the Great Zhou, ensuring its prosperity and peace. But he never expected these people to commit treason. Who would protect the Great Zhou from now on?

"It's a shame the Emperor trusts the Duke of the State Guard so much. The people there are truly ambitious and wicked." The fat woman beside him cursed, "With this act of treason, they're going to cause countless people in the Great Zhou Kingdom to become homeless and lose their families. The people in the Duke of the State Guard have lost their consciences."

"The families of these traitors should be executed. Exile to a barbaric land is the least of their punishment." A man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks shouted at the top of his voice.

His eyes burned with rage. The crime of treason was intolerable and all the people in the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion should be executed.

"That's right, everyone in the Duke of Huguo's mansion should be executed by slow slicing!"

"That's right, treason is unforgivable. Everyone in the Duke of Protectorate should die!"

"The Duke of Protectorate's Mansion is a disgrace to our Great Zhou Nation!"

"Yes, it's a shame for our Great Zhou Kingdom! I was so blind to think that the Duke of Protectorate Mansion was the protector of our Great Zhou Kingdom." The crowd responded one after another, like surging waves hitting the hearts of everyone in the Duke of Protectorate Mansion.

……

The accusations and insults shot at the people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion like sharp arrows, making their already heavy mood even heavier. The people who once looked up to and admired the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion were like wild beasts devoured by anger, biting the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion and wishing to put it to death.

Listening to the people's vicious abuse, the elder lady's heart turned cold. These were the people that their Protectorate Palace fought so hard to protect...

Over the years, the Duke of Huguo's Mansion has protected the people and ensured the safety of the country, allowing the people to live a peaceful life, but now they have been incurred with such infamy.

The four children could not bear the people's insults to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. They were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick. They used all their strength to argue with the people who were attacking them with vicious words:

"You're talking nonsense! My grandfather and his men didn't collaborate with the enemy or betray the country. We, the Protectorate, were wrongly accused!"

The child's tender voice was drowned out by the angry voices of the crowd who were yelling and cursing at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

"The traitors in the Duke's Mansion shall not die a hapless death!" Someone in the crowd shouted and threw rotten leaves at the people in the Duke's Mansion. This action instantly ignited the indignation of the crowd, and everyone followed suit. Rotten leaves and rotten eggs rained down on the people in the Duke's Mansion.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up from the sky, and all the things that people threw at the Duke of Protector's Mansion came back and hit everyone.

Everyone fell to the ground in disarray, screaming in agony.

"The people in the Duke of Protector's Mansion are jinxes. It's because of them that we have been punished by God. With them around, our Great Zhou Kingdom will be destroyed!" A deafening shout came from upstairs. This sudden clamor once again aroused everyone's resentment towards the Duke of Protector's Mansion, and they began to curse everyone in the Duke of Protector's Mansion with vicious words.

Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes after listening to this. Okay, since this was God's punishment, she would punish these rubbish today in the name of justice.

"The jinx of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion shall not die a horrible death!" The man saw that everyone's emotions were aroused by him, and he shouted even louder, as if he would not stop until the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was put to death.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky began to flash with lightning and thunder. A bolt of lightning as thick as a thigh broke through the clouds and struck straight towards the shouting man, piercing through the roof and hitting him. A burning smell filled the air, and it ended abruptly with the sound of the man falling heavily to the ground in terror.

This scene terrified everyone, and all those who had been cursing the Duke of Huguo's Mansion shut up.

How could the Duke of Huguo's Mansion be a jinx? It was clearly protected by heaven.

At this moment, a man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face, who also wanted to kill the Duke of Protectorate, imitated the man struck by lightning and shouted at the top of his voice: "Today's celestial phenomenon is a warning from heaven that we cannot let the people of the Duke of Protectorate live, otherwise there will be divine punishment."

Someone echoed loudly, "Yes, this is a punishment from heaven. The Protectorate Palace has colluded with the enemy and committed treason, angering the heavens. They cannot be allowed to leave the capital alive!"

As they finished speaking, there were two loud thunder sounds, and the two lightning bolts broke through the clouds and struck them directly, turning them into black charcoal and falling to the ground.

This scene made everyone's face change drastically. Today's strange phenomenon was not God warning them, but God standing up for the Duke of Huguo's Mansion!

Unprecedented fear surged in everyone's hearts, and they dared not curse the people in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion anymore.

The street was very quiet, and everyone stood there in a daze, watching the people from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion leave.

As the common people watched, the people in the Duke's Mansion walked with their backs straight. Their straight backs were like unshakable mountains, showing their pride and indomitable spirit. It seemed as if they were telling the common people that the Duke's Mansion had protected them like a city wall and a fortress.

Today's vision left a deep impression on everyone. Even many years later, everyone in the capital still remembered it vividly.

At that time, they deeply regretted their actions in slandering the Duke of Protectorate when the Duke of Protectorate was in trouble, and lamented that it was because of their stupidity and ignorance of right and wrong that they lost the protector of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
