Mingyue felt the weather was gloomy that day and didn't want to go out, so she stayed at home and didn't go out to distribute food.

While he was opening the packages sent by Madam Wen and others from the capital in the house, he saw Lin Siyu's servant stumbling into his yard.

"Princess, Princess! Princess!"

He was wandering around the yard like a headless fly, while the bright moon was in the pavilion.

"Hey, here it is."

Seeing his anxious look, Mingyue quickly spoke up and asked him to come over, "Why are you here? Aren't you staying with your master?"

"No, no, no..." He gradually recovered his breath.

"Princess, something happened outside. My master asked me to inform you."

"When?!" Mingyue was a little uneasy. If it was a simple little matter, then Second Brother Lin would not have specially found someone to tell her.

"Princess, why don't you come with me first..." The servant didn't know what to say. After all, the rumors outside were so ugly, he... didn't dare to say it.

Mingyue frowned and glanced at the servant. "Okay, Zhizhi Taotao, follow me out."

"Yes."

On the way, the four people who were walking hurriedly happened to run into Jiang Mengrou who was looking for Mingyue.

"Mingyue, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry? Don't fall."

The moment the servant saw Jiang Mengrou, he felt a little guilty for no reason. After all, the rumors outside were related to Her Royal Highness the Princess. He quickly bowed, lowered his head and stood aside, not daring to say a word.

Jiang Mengrou noticed that something was wrong with him, but she didn't have the time to argue with him.

Mingyue also noticed it and subconsciously thought it was related to her mother, so she lied, "Second Brother Lin asked me to go out and play. Is there anything wrong, mother? Can you wait until I come back to talk?"

"Of course, go ahead^_^" Jiang Mengrou smiled and waved to Mingyue.

"Then I'll be leaving, mother. We'll talk when I come back~" and then he ran out of the yard.

Jiang Mengrou put away the smile on her face and said, "Let's go, follow me."

"Yes."

Something is wrong.

You know your own daughter.

When Mingyue lies or feels guilty, she will subconsciously dig her nails into her flesh.

She had just seen this.

He followed his daughter silently and came to the gate of the government office with her.

Why are there so many people here...

Why is my husband surrounded?

Jiang Mengrou was stunned, and Mingyue was also stunned when she saw this scene.

Not to mention Zhao Yunshan in the center of the crowd!

"General Zhao! I respect you as a general, and today I ask you, are you worthy of the princess and the emperor?"

"Don't you know how much silver you've embezzled? General, stop it!"

"Mr. Zhao, you don't deserve to be here. Get out of Longcheng!"

"Get out! Get out!"

This group of people is so aggressive and scary.

Zhao Yunshan really didn't understand. He was just distributing food here, and suddenly a group of people came and looked at him with scrutiny, as if he was some unforgivable sinner.

"No, guys, what are you talking about?"

"I, Zhao Yunshan, am worthy of the Emperor, and I am worthy of my wife and daughter. Where does the term 'worthy' or 'unworthy' come from?"

He was originally a military general, and his voice was loud and penetrating, and the crowd fell silent.

Among the leaders was the ragtag man, who still refused to give in. "You still dare to mention the emperor? His wife and daughter?"

"Why shouldn't I dare?" Zhao Yunshan just returned.

"You, you, you, how dare you ask? I'm embarrassed to answer for you!" The tattered man snorted in disgust and slapped the side of his face towards Zhao Yunshan, which was extremely insulting.

"you say!"

Those who knew Zhao Yunshan well knew that he was on the verge of losing control of his emotions. If the person in front of him provoked him further, his life or death would be in danger.

"Haha, we all know all your bad deeds!"

"What do you mean by keeping a concubine and calling her your wife? How could Her Highness the Princess follow you to our poor little Longcheng?"

"And these grains, you only distribute this little bit every day, are you embezzling some of them?"

"Just tell me, how much profit did you make on this trip to Longcheng? I'm afraid you must have pocketed a lot of silver."

The tattered man described it with detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Zhao Yunshan laughed instead. It turned out that they were throwing dirty water at him. Oh, that's it?

He looked at the ragtag man politely, "Oh? May I ask this gentleman's name, and where do you live?"

"I, I, I... I'm just a commoner in Longcheng." The ragged man's eyes were vague.

Zhao Yunshan knew that he couldn't just let people arrest him at this moment, but he had to clean up the dirty water in public.

Then he asked, "Then how did you know that I brought a concubine, not a princess?"

"You slept under my bed, how could you know so much?"

Who could have thought that a noble man had such a poisonous tongue, speaking bluntly and harshly like the lower-class people like them, and they thought he was just a warrior who only knew how to swing a knife.

"This...this..." Everyone looked at the shabby man who was adding fuel to the fire.

Seeing him hesitating and unable to explain anything, it seemed that all he said were just his imaginations and there was really no real evidence.

Zhao Yunshan sneered, "And what about all that silver? Do you know where it comes from? Where does the food you eat come from?"

This question is simple, everyone knows it.

"I know, I know. It was approved by the Emperor and given specifically to us in Longcheng. Most of it went into your pocket!"

Children speak without restraint. He didn't even know how many times he had heard the same thing. When Zhao Yunshan asked him, he told him everything like pouring beans.

"Ah."

"Why, now that we've exposed you, you're scared and guilty!" the ragged man said confidently.

Zhao Yunshan was in a daze, remembering why Mingyue took out most of his gold and silver at the end of last year. What was the reason?

Is it because of the group of people in front of me? !

It's not worth it.

He smiled bitterly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"You're talking nonsense! Wang Laizi!" A woman holding a rice bucket had obviously just taken the prescribed amount of food.

The group of people instantly looked at her, wondering what this woman was doing by suddenly appearing.

"Don't we know you guys? You're all just hooligans who do all kinds of evil. You're always on the streets, robbing children or stealing chickens and ducks. Who in Longcheng doesn't know you?!"

"Do you think everyone is like you bitches? We have seen what General Zhao is like."

"These rice and flour are not even clean. There is not even a grain of sand. We also have meat every three days. There are so many people in Longcheng. If he is greedy, why would he give us all this?"

"I think you are pushing your luck!"

The woman pointed at the group of people, her face filled with indignation.

The people around her immediately stood beside Zhao Yunshan and made their attitude clear.

Lu Sheng went to inspect a county in Longcheng and just came back at this time.

He saw so many people gathered at the government office gate and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, what a crowd!"

He was originally planning to watch the show, but by the time he realized it, it was too late to regret!

"Make way, make way, make way, come here, arrest these guys for me. They just like to steal chickens and dogs on weekdays. I was so busy these days that I forgot about you!"

He shouted so loudly that his voice broke...

Mingyue wanted to laugh, but held it back.

The atmosphere seemed to ease up all of a sudden, and the originally tense situation was much better after he helped to mediate.

"Why are you arresting us?"

"Are you guys in cahoots?!"

"As expected, officials protect each other. We ordinary people will never be able to stand up again!"

Lu Sheng was from a nearby state before and had only recently taken over Longcheng, but he had heard of this gang of thugs.

I didn't intend to explain anything, I just wanted to lock them up.

However, if we deal with it like this in public, it will only breed more rumors!
