Chapter 223 The General Doesn’t Want Power, He Just Wants to Fall in Love 15
The reason was that after Zhou Ningxu found out about the affair between his general and Qi Jin, he thought back on what he had done and felt a little depressed, and couldn't help but ask other people.
"Do you think I shouldn't have found a carriage for His Highness? He doesn't seem to like it and prefers riding with the general."
"Your Highness is a member of the royal family, of noble status, and pampered. It is only right that he finds a carriage to come here."
Someone patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"That's because your Highness likes the General and the General likes your Highness, so it's normal for them to like each other."
The other person said as a matter of course.
Zhou Ningxu turned his head suddenly and looked at him.
"How did you tell?"
Why didn't he see it? Others also looked at that person, with a look on their faces: Yes! How did you see it?
The man blinked, a little confused.
"Didn't you guys see that?"
In this way, the news that Duan Ci liked Qi Jin spread quietly among the people.
In addition, Qi Jin has been staying in the carriage frequently recently and rarely appears in front of other people. When he appears, only his back can be vaguely seen.
He was thin, and standing alone was fine, but standing next to Duan Ci, he looked a little petite. Outsiders who didn't know the truth spread the story further and further. After all, Duan Ci never said that he liked men. Since he had someone he liked, the first reaction of others was that he liked a girl.
After being criticized by some lousy readers, it was completely in a mess.
From the general liking the precious Ninth Prince, to the general liking a delicate girl, to the general bringing back a delicate beauty from Beisheng that he loved very much.
The person involved had no idea. After all, no one would scold someone in person, not to mention that Duan Ci was a general with extraordinary strength.
Finally, Shanlan heard the final version of the rumor, and thinking that the young master was going to have a wife, he hurried over to report.
The smell of rust spread, and a ostentatious figure rode past, bringing with him a smell of blood.
Seeing someone coming, the people on the street quickly made way.
"Open your eyes and see! This is what happens when you disobey the law!"
The sound of the man shouting at the top of his lungs spread throughout the street. Even before people saw the man, the people who heard his voice were so frightened that they made way for him.
Soon, the middle of the street became wide enough for people to ride horses freely.
Even though I was scared, I couldn't help but stick my head out to see which bully was being dragged out this time.
The lead rider was holding a rope, and at the other end of the rope was a sturdy man.
The man's body was a mess of blood and flesh, his face was flushed red, he was breathing out more than breathing in, his eyes were slightly bulging, and it looked like he was about to die.
The rope was looped around his neck, and Lu Yan dragged him through several streets.
In order to avoid being strangled, he pulled at the rope around his neck with both hands. His lower body rubbed against the ground, leaving a long bloodstain that would remain on the street for three days.
The man was a bully on West Street who always bullied men and women. Just when he was bullying people, he was encountered by Lu Yan and his friends who were out on business.
Lu Yan didn't waste time talking to him. He just put the ring on the man and dragged him around the street. His subordinates followed him and shouted, letting other people see that this is the result of breaking the law, so as to scare them. The bloodstains that lasted for three days also served this purpose.
When Qi Zui first ascended the throne, he formulated some laws and regulations based on the country's situation, hoping to gradually govern the country well.
But because he came to the throne by killing his father and brother, some people thought he was unworthy of the position and did not take him seriously at all.
Officials still exploited the people from time to time, and this worried him so much that he forgot to eat and sleep.
When Lu Yan saw this, he couldn't bear to see him so miserable, so he led the Jinyiwei to the streets to arrest people. When he saw people who ignored the laws and regulations, and those who were disrespectful to Qi Zui, he either chopped them into pieces in the street or dragged them for several streets.
As a result, those people would be skinned alive if not dead, and would not dare to act so recklessly again.
The bloodstains left on the street were not allowed to be cleaned up and had to be left to dry for several days.
Although he acted in an extreme and cruel way, he eliminated harm for the people.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. During that period, only the officials whose interests were harmed made a fuss, but the people did not say anything.
After those officials were dealt with by Qi Zui with thundering means, the country's governance finally got back on track.
Lu Yan's way of doing things also left an impression on the people. When people heard the voices of his subordinates, they knew that he was dealing with those bullies again, so they would give way.
Today is also the day when Duan Ci and his men return to the capital. Lu Yan rode his horse with people behind him and headed straight towards where they were.
