"What's the reason?" Xiyue thought for a long time without thinking of the reason, turned her head to look at her, and said doubtfully, "If their hearts are really full of fear, and they hate Ouyang Xiangtian so much, why should they help? What does he say good things about? The prince is here, shouldn't he hurry to expose his evil deeds? This way, the prince will have enough evidence to arrest Ouyang Xiangtian, and they can live a good life."
"Gu Guess they still have concerns, both for the court and for Gu." The prince rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully.
"Worry? What worries will they have?" Xiyue looked at the prince in confusion and asked her doubts.
"According to the news from Xinglou, there have been more than one or two reports of Ouyang Xiangtian's evil deeds over the years, but they often ended without a problem. Once, it was because a person risked his own life to escape from Liaocheng and brought Songzhang into the capital. After bumping into the prince's sedan chair, the imperial court sent someone to Liaocheng to check the situation." Seeing that the prince didn't want to explain any further, Leng Yetong spoke and followed the prince's words.
After a pause, he continued, "Later, the imperial commissioner reported to the prince that everything was normal in Liaocheng, the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and there was no situation reported by the person at all. The prince didn't take it seriously, and sent the resident back. Liaocheng, there was no news of that person after that, thinking that maybe he was killed by Ouyang Xiangtian."
"Everyone who tried to expose Ouyang Xiangtian's crimes disappeared and reappeared inexplicably a few days later, but in the form of corpses. After a long time, no one dared to expose Ouyang Xiangtian's crimes. The person belonged to Ouyang Xiangtian, and the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court was also bribed by Ouyang Xiangtian. The prince personally sent a person back to die, so they were afraid. In their eyes, Ouyang Xiangtian, the government and the imperial court had long been I belong to the family, so I will be wary of the prince."
"In their eyes, if you don't tell Ouyang Xiangtian's crime, you can keep the simplest security. If you tell it, there will already be a lot of lessons from the past, and they don't want to do this. Over time, they form a habit. Outsiders say how good the place they live in and how close Ouyang Xiangtian is to the people. They don't trust the government or the imperial court. This idea has reached a deep-rooted level, so no matter how we ask, No matter how you lobby, you can't change their minds."
"Then what should we do now?" Duan Ying was a little anxious when he heard the words. This time, the prince was sent by the emperor to investigate whether Ouyang Xiangtian's numerous crimes existed. If there was no evidence, even the people of Liaocheng would not agree. To be honest, then there is absolutely no way for the prince and the emperor to explain.
"What are you worried about, the fox will always show its tail." He raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly, "It is always a fact that Ouyang Xiangtian harmed the people, and since it is a fact, it will definitely show its legs. It is impossible that when we are there, He won't practice that evil power, right? So I think, after we make some actual actions, maybe we can change their views and get more truthful words."
"That's all." Looking down at her words, the prince sighed softly and said helplessly.
