Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"The Huang family colluded with the Shen family rebels to kill the crown prince and execute all nine clans. The imperial concubine is pregnant, and although a general amnesty has been granted, the Huang family's crimes are grave and unforgivable, so they will be executed on the spot."

Sheng Changan's eyes turned slightly cold. Was this unexpected? The Shen family had already shouldered countless scapegoats, and in their eyes, this one wasn't a big deal.

"Sir, there is someone outside the door." Li Hui's eyes fixed, and without waiting for Sheng Chang'an to speak, she walked in and opened the door, and found several people holding a few young children and looking at this side.

They were all wearing very thin clothes, and their exposed skin was bluish purple, which showed that they had been frozen for too long. As soon as the door opened, their eyes glanced inside inconspicuously.

It was just that Li Hui covered it too tightly, so they couldn't see anything, but a hint of jealousy still flashed in their eyes.

Although you can't see anything, but looking at the mental state of the person who opened the door, you can tell that they are living a good life and have the leisure to meddle in other people's affairs.

"What's the matter?" Li Hui repeated again. He was actually a little impatient. The look in their eyes just now didn't seem to indicate any good intentions.

"I...we want to see the adults inside." The person who spoke swallowed, as if trying to give himself courage.

"Yes...we want to see the adults inside," the others immediately echoed.

With a creaky sound, the door was opened completely. Li Hui turned sideways, revealing the person behind him.

When the people outside saw Sheng Changan, they hardly concealed their greedy expressions.

He was wearing a white cloak and a hat covered with fur that looked very warm. The clothes underneath also looked very thick, and his face was rosy.

Although she was good-looking, they obviously paid more attention to the clothes she was wearing at this time.

I heard that this gentleman is as rich as a country. Although it cannot be seen on the surface, it has nothing to do with them. They just need to know that this person is richer than them.

As soon as they saw people coming out, they planned to surround them, but how could Li Hui and others let these people who obviously had ulterior motives get close to the adults?

So the moment Sheng Changan came out, Gao Qiang and others who followed him directly blocked Sheng Changan.

"What do you want from me?" Suddenly they gathered here, and it was obvious that something was wrong. Sheng Changan naturally didn't have a good face, but was extremely cold, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

The people surrounding him shrank back, and then they remembered that this man was an official after all, and they were just common people. But now they could hardly protect themselves, so they couldn't care less.

Besides, it was she who destroyed their way of making money. If that was the case, she should be held responsible.

They pushed each other a bit and quickly chose the representative to speak, who was the one who spoke first.

"Master Sheng, I heard you say at a palace banquet that cannibalism would bring divine punishment, and that it's because of you that the court is now cracking down on it. Is this true?"

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Changan knew what these people were thinking. After all, he had touched the cake of these aristocratic families, so how could they not take any action at all?

"so what?"

"The adults should be responsible. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have anywhere to go and couldn't even support our own children."

"That's right. We were barely able to survive before, but now we have no source of income. How are we going to survive?" After these people said this, they immediately pushed the children next to them.

A child who was about two or three years old lost his balance during the shoving and fell heavily to the ground, but no one helped him.

The people here originally brought them here to gain sympathy, so naturally the more miserable they are, the better.

As for Sheng Changan, Xu Qing wanted to help her, but seeing Sheng Changan's indifferent expression, as the saying goes, one can know the elegant intention by hearing the music. In addition, they have been together for a long time, and he guessed that she must have her own plans, so he simply stood aside and watched the show.

Fortunately, the child staggered to his feet, but he had varying degrees of frostbite on his body, which is what everyone here has. His fingers were swollen like radishes.

Although these adults also suffered frostbite, it was obviously not as serious as that of these children.

Because of this play, more and more people gathered to watch. Some of them were grateful to Sheng Changan, while others resented her.

You should know that there are quite a few people in Beijing who openly run cannibal inns, and there are also some people who do nothing all day and make a living by selling their own children.

Naturally, there are those who are willing and those who are unwilling, but they have no say here. They can only stand behind and watch, not even daring to get close, and can only watch silently.
