"You mentioned this and I thought the same thing. I thought so too." After Su Yao finished laughing, his face returned to its usual expressionless expression. He followed Xiao Heng down the stairs and strolled on the quiet bluestone road of the Mu Mansion. His tone was a little solemn: "From the capital to here, from my father's time to now, the remnants of the southeast have never completely let go, and have never stopped treating us as prey. People like them, in the final analysis, are evil-minded. I know that Queen Chi did not do anything wrong back then, and I also know that the deposed emperor had no legitimate reason to depose her."
Because she was with Xiao Heng, Su Yao did not think there was anything wrong with these words. She said bluntly: "But from the moment she was deposed, it meant that she had lost her qualifications. Not to mention that the dynasty had already changed. Even if it was the deposed emperor, the country was lost from the deposed emperor. If she had the ability, she should have settled accounts with the deposed emperor and regained her position as queen. Or, she should have raised the banner of rebellion during the time of Taizu and see if she could fight hard. Now their Chi family is hiding behind the aristocratic family, tied together by the common interest of shipping, and so aggressive under the banner of righteousness. No wonder they were defeated by Taizu. The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked!"
Su Yao had never spoken so bluntly before.
After all, even Emperor Yuanfeng was very taboo about the affairs of those remnants. It was these people who murdered the crown prince, instigated the second and third princes, and instigated Prince Zhuang to cause trouble. They all had their shadows.
There are many taboos here, and everyone is very secretive about it, for fear of saying something wrong and getting into trouble.
But this time, Su Yao was extremely angry.
Xiao Heng walked quietly beside her. After hearing what she said, he nodded, "Yes, especially when we first came to Yunnan, they used all kinds of tricks against me. They seemed to wish me dead, but I don't understand why they framed Su Rong this time."
Even if those people really knew that he liked Su Yao, what did that have to do with Su Rong
Does it mean that he will not marry Su Yao if Su Rong is framed
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng frowned.
Is this really the reason
He then shook his head again and couldn't help laughing at himself for being too worried. Those people would not frame Su Rong for this reason. If this was the reason, then according to their style of doing things, they would probably kill Su Yao directly, or simply frame Su Yao directly.
They had already used this method in Kunming before.
Xiao Heng's expression couldn't help but become even uglier.
If it weren't for the fact that Yunnan is so complicated right now, he would have wanted to lead his troops to wipe out those remnants.
Su Yao also thought a lot during this period of time, but what she was thinking about was how to help Su Rong escape first.
She looked at Xiao Heng and said, "I have already gone to see Madam Mu Si and have made an appointment with her. Please help me."
Xiao Heng frowned: "Do you want Madam Mu Si to help you?"
Su Yao smiled slyly: "I won't tell your Highness about this. Anyway, it won't be what your Highness thinks."
Seeing that Su Yao could still laugh, Xiao Heng's worries disappeared.
He was originally worried that Su Yao would be sad about this matter, but now it seems that she is still the same as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and the fatigue caused by the quarrel between those people also dissipated a lot: "Okay, then I will wait and see."
Su Yao smiled but said nothing.
Because such an incident had just happened, most of the people outside Qin Fen's mansion, which were originally guarded by imperial soldiers, were now replaced by local soldiers under Bai Xiong's command.
They are no longer responsible for the garrison of Lion Rock, so they have been transferred here.
When Qin Fen saw Bai Xiong, he walked towards him with a haggard look on his face, choking with tears, "Commander Bai, I've been waiting for you to come!"
He looked like he had suffered a great deal of injustice, and said to White Bear sadly, "The world has really changed. Since the death of the chieftain, we have become worse than slaves!"
He naturally told the story of what happened to his family, and said angrily: "You really don't treat us as human beings. I am a general after all, but now look at me, what do you think I am? In the final analysis, isn't it because we are all natives? Now I heard that even the chieftains are gone. In the future, there will be no chieftains in Yunnan. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Without chieftains, are we going to let those Han people take care of us? Commander Bai, you are a wise man and you know the life of us natives. Are these ancestral systems going to be changed in the future? If you tell others, how can you face your ancestors? Besides, it hasn't been completely settled yet, and you are treating us like this. If we really let these Han people take charge in the future, how can we survive?"
Bai Xiong used to be the garrison commander of Lion Mountain. Although he is Madam Mu Si's biological brother and can actually be considered Mu Tong's brother-in-law, Mu Tong is not very close to him and will not entrust him with any important matters.
So White Bear didn't feel much after hearing these heartfelt words.
Besides, his sister has no status in Mu Tong's place, and was neglected by him in the past, not to mention the Bai family.
If it weren't for the fact that the Bai family still held a group of local soldiers passed down from their ancestors, no one would know where the Bai family would be now.
He really couldn't resonate with Qin Fen's words. After all, the court had done nothing wrong to him. On the contrary, Xiao Heng not only let him be in charge of these 5,000 people, but also gave him the command of those personal soldiers who originally belonged to Mu Tong.
He is very busy now. If Qin Fen hadn't been jumping around so much and shouting that he couldn't trust the people in the court, he wouldn't be here now.
When Qin Fen finished speaking, he said expressionlessly: "Your Highness will naturally find out the truth about this matter and explain it to you. You are making things too serious. What Han people and non-Han people? Are there only natives in Yunnan these years? It's not that when the chieftains were in power, they didn't allow Han people to survive. It's the same now. Besides, Your Highness is a wise ruler and will not do such a stupid thing."
Qin Fen's face suddenly became a little stiff. He said so many things, but it turned out that this guy didn't listen to a word he said, and even said a lot of rebuttals.
Seeing that his words were not working, he simply sneered: "Commander Bai really opened my eyes. After all, the chieftain is your brother-in-law. You have changed so quickly."
White Bear glanced at him and said, "Master Qin also surprised me. Master Qin used to be the most sensible person. Even when the old chieftain was here, Master Qin was not so loyal."
