Chapter 327 Captured and taken away
The emperor sneered, sat there quietly and listened, with a calm expression on his face. In fact, what he thought in his heart made everyone sweat.
This—how could it be such a coincidence! I really shouldn't have come out today.
The royal gossip is obviously very attractive. The four people didn't realize that there were people who were all over the world listening silently.
The emperor sneered slightly, glanced at the few sitting, and said lightly: "Have you all heard about this?"
A Lord Fu quickly nodded slightly, and laughed softly: "Your Majesty, these people are ordinary people, what do they know? It's just idle nonsense, and what they say can't be taken seriously!"
"Yeah yeah! It's not true!"
"Yep!"
"I didn't mean that," the emperor said coldly, "Even if these are rumors, have you heard of these 'rumors'?"
"this-"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
This has been spread all over the street, how could they not know?
It is not appropriate to tell the truth, but if you want to tell a lie, who would dare to lie in front of the emperor in front of so many colleagues? Don't dare without colleagues!
"Heh!" The emperor glanced at everyone and sneered, "It seems that everyone knows, but I don't know."
No one dared to look up.
Zhao Xiang sighed lightly: "The emperor forgives the crime. I don't know how this matter spread, but it is just a rumor and cannot be taken seriously. There is no evidence. How can the ministers use rumors to talk nonsense in front of the emperor? Wouldn't the ministers succeed? Are you a villain who sows discord? There are so many rumors in the capital every day, and they are spread like this. Even if everyone hears it occasionally, they just laugh it off. Rumors will disappear after a while. The emperor takes care of everything , and should not waste energy on such nonsense."
"Yeah yeah!"
"What Master Zhao said is true!"
Everyone nodded their heads one after another, secretly heaving a sigh of relief, thinking that at a time like this, others might be scolded to death by the emperor if they opened their mouths, and it would have to be Mr. Zhao.
The emperor's expression softened when he heard the words, and he hummed: "You guys pushed it cleanly! Don't I know what you are thinking?"
You must have believed this "rumor" in your heart, right?
In fact, not only they would believe it, but even the emperor himself believed it to a certain extent. Because this rumor is really full of nose and eyes, and there are many details, it is difficult for people to say that it was completely fabricated out of thin air.
Furthermore, my son himself knows a little bit about it. The second prince has a bright and bold personality, but his martial arts are ordinary. Who has suffered such hardship? Besides, there is no need!
If a country reaches the point where the princes have to mount their horses and take the lead in charging and fighting, then the country is almost over.
Princes and grandchildren are dragons and phoenixes among the people. They only need to sit in the camp of the Chinese army and plan strategies.
As for the level of the guards at the second prince's mansion, he also knows a little bit. There were only fifty people accompanying him that day, and at least ten of them were to closely follow his son to protect him. That is to say, no more than forty people actually hunted. Man, how can there be such a big gain in a short period of time?
At that time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. When did his son's guards become so powerful? With just a few dozen people, they were able to hunt so many wild wolves, bears, and several wild boars.
You must know that these prey in the wild are not so easy to hunt. Although he himself has almost stopped hunting these years due to his poor health, he loved hunting the most when he was young, and he also knows the nature of wild beasts very well.
But maybe he was too happy at the time, maybe because Zhou Hansheng's harvest was so rich that his son's harvest seemed reasonable in comparison, so he didn't think much about it.
But Zhou Hansheng, can it be the same?
Besides, his son will compete with Zhou Hansheng, who will help Zhou Hansheng if he has the guts of a bear? It's not that Zhou Hansheng grew up in Beijing and has many buddies, he doesn't even have a decent friend! It's even more unlikely that anyone will help him.
Now after listening to the chats of these people, he realized that this is the truth.
Things that were originally ignored clearly surfaced.
Zhao Xiang was silent.
He had a bad relationship with the second prince, so it was not suitable for him to say anything else.
After all, there is no evidence for this matter, let alone nonsense about things without evidence.
If you want to say it, only the emperor can say it.
The emperor has no interest at all, and he doesn't want to listen to it anymore, these words are really too unbearable. Even the truth is exasperating to hear.
He was about to get up, but he heard a mess of footsteps, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a dozen people who looked like patrolling soldiers coming up.
The emperor is still baffled. What are these people here for? He saw that the faces of the four people who were gossip about his beloved son just now all changed, and they stood up in a panic and were about to run away.
Before the emperor could turn his head around, he heard the leader of the soldiers patrolling the city shout: "Take them down!"
How can four ordinary people who look like frail scholars be the opponents of the wolves and tigers patrolling the city? It was quickly taken down and imprisoned.
"You, why do you take us! We didn't break the law!"
"That's right! Why! You are bullying others! People like you in the government are really, really moths and scum!"
"Shut up!" The sergeant in the lead slapped the face of the person who spoke first, and said with a sneer: "You untouchables, how dare you spread rumors behind your back and make jokes about His Highness, you really ate a bear." Be brave! Go to Shuntian Mansion Yamen obediently and sober up! Let you know that you can eat food but not talk nonsense!"
The person who was beaten was very angry: "We didn't, we didn't spread rumors! That's all, we heard it from other places, and we just, just talked about it."
"Yes, yes, sir, please forgive us! We really didn't do it on purpose! We won't dare next time, never again! Please forgive me, sir!"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
The leading sergeant sneered: "Now I know I regret it? Oh, it's too late! Don't you know how many people have been in jail these days? How dare you talk nonsense behind your back! Heh! Since you have such courage, you should suffer for yourself." Let's go!"
He yelled "Take it away!" All the soldiers immediately escorted the four crying people away in a murderous manner.
At this moment, there are three or four tables upstairs, all of which are like quails, sitting stiffly and dare not move or breathe.
