Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 57: Eliminating the Rebels and Killing the People
The words fell.

A few more people walked out of the bookstore.

The leader was dressed like a scholar.

However, the golden dragon pattern embroidered on the sleeves exudes luxury and nobility, symbolizing royal status.

It is the orphan of the late crown prince.

Prince Yi Zhong.

"Meet the prince!"

"Your Majesty, the Purple-Robed Marquis committed a crime in public for no reason. You must stand up for us, the scholars of Jiangnan!"

"How can the nobles of our country harm scholars for no reason? This is simply lawless."

"Jiang Daru is famous all over the world, but he was humiliated like this."

A group of scholars who had just been oppressed by Jia Congwei and didn't even dare to breathe.

It was as if they had found their backbone, and they all started talking at once about Jia Cong's crimes.

"My fellow students, please be patient. I will not ignore this matter!"

Prince Yi Zhong expressed his opinion immediately, and then came to the front surrounded by scholars.

"Jia Cong, this is the White Deer Book Club!"

"In the 32nd year of Kaiyuan, the emperor visited Jiangnan and left a royal seal at the Bailu Academy: a place where literary talents gather and the fragrance of books overflows."

"Not only did you dare to commit a crime here, but you also humiliated our great scholar."

"Are you really not afraid that I will report you when I get back?"

He glanced at the body of the bookstore owner not far away.

There was also Jiang Wenxing, who was hung behind Jia Cong and paraded through the streets, and was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die.

Beneath Prince Yi Zhong's angry expression, there was a subtle hint of joy.

"Prince Yizhong?"

Jia Cong's expression was indifferent, and it did not change at all because of the other party's identity as a prince.

There was no intention of dismounting to greet him.

Just looking down at the other person from a high position.

"I would like to ask the prince."

"Royal family, why are you here in the White Deer Book Club today?"

"To win over the hearts and minds of the people? To win over the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Or is there some shameful plot?"

Prince Yi Zhong's expression changed slightly when his thoughts were revealed.

Everyone in the capital city of Shenjing knows this.

In the royal family, the fourteenth son of the retired emperor, Prince Zhongshun, and his grandson, Prince Yi Zhong, were both eyeing the throne.

But this matter cannot be brought to the table after all.

The retired emperor has had an ambiguous attitude so far. He passed on the throne but not the power, and no one dared to bring it up openly.

"How dare you, Jia Cong! You are just a bastard from the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion."

"When my father was alive."

"Your father Jia She is just a subordinate of the Eastern Palace, yet he dares to frame you today."

"Speak to the king like that!"

Prince Yi Zhong was immediately furious.

"So, I guessed right."

"The Jia family has been following Taizu to establish a new dynasty since before the founding of the country."

"All the members of our clan throughout the generations have been loyal and devoted to Your Majesty, sacrificing their lives for the country."

"When it comes to the prince, he actually treats the founding nobles as his slaves."

"Your Majesty, you don't think you have ascended the throne and become emperor now, do you?"

"you……"

Prince Yi Zhong did not expect Jia Cong to be so sharp in his words.

Killing people and destroying their hearts is more terrifying than those scholars.

"Your Majesty is speechless, are you ready to acquiesce?"

"It's ok."

"I am now the commander of the Beijing Camp, not the commander of the Imperial Guard. Your Majesty will hold the prince accountable for this matter in the future."

"I came here today for only one thing!"

"Jiang Wenxing and several rebels assassinated me outside the city of Shenjing. They openly plotted treason. The evidence is irrefutable."

"I suspect this incident is related to the White Deer Book Club, so I came here to investigate."

"If the prince has nothing to do, please step aside, lest someone finds evidence of the prince's collusion with the rebels."

Without waiting for Prince Yi Zhong to reply, Jia Cong continued.

"How dare you! Today, the king is here!"

"I wonder who dares to step into the White Deer Book Club."

Now Prince Yi Zhong could no longer hold back and opened his arms to block Jia Cong.

"If your Majesty likes to watch it, then take a good look at it."

"Come here, search the White Deer Academy. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot."

Jia Cong waved his hand.

The personal soldiers behind him, who had already received orders, dismounted, drew their weapons, and rushed forward.

"How dare you, a bunch of warriors..."

"Disgraceful to politeness!"

The scholars from the south of the Yangtze River behind Prince Yi Zhong thought they had a backer.

Shout and curse loudly.

Until a head flew up into the sky and blood splattered.

Everyone was stunned.

"The White Deer Book Society has colluded with the rebels and openly rebelled." "The evidence is irrefutable, and we must kill them without mercy!"

Hou Jingyun, who had already received instructions from Jia Cong, shouted.

A group of personal soldiers attacked without mercy.

In a flash, blood splattered and heads rolled down.

The personal guards don’t care whether you are a scholar or not, or who is the high-ranking official in the court behind you.

After taking charge of the Beijing camp, Jia Cong found a few short-sighted generals to establish his authority.

Now, his prestige is at its peak among the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

Not to mention these personal soldiers.

The master is humiliated and the minister dies, it's that simple.

"Jia Cong, how dare you wantonly massacre scholars and harm students."

"After the morning court tomorrow, I will definitely go to the Emperor to report you."

Prince Yi Zhong's eyes turned red at this moment.

I wanted to take this opportunity to win people's hearts, but now the result is different.

Not only did he fail to save the person, but Jia Cong also accused him of treason.

It can be said that both face and substance have been lost.

"Your Highness, please do as you please. Today I just want to show it to others!"

"Assassinate me and plot my fate."

"Today I will only collect interest. If you come to Japan and go to Jiangnan, you will definitely slaughter 3,000 people!"

Jia Cong pointed at Jiang Wenxing, who was hanging there and had vomited blood countless times out of grief and anger.

The corner of his mouth sneered.

……

"Crazy, crazy, is Purple Robe Marquis crazy?"

"Hiss, just because of an assassination, so many scholars were killed without permission."

"This is a fight to the death with Jiangnan Shilin!"

"How many high-ranking officials in the imperial court are involved behind the Jiangnan scholars?"

"Prince Yi Zhong really made a wrong calculation this time."

The spies from various families who were watching the excitement outside were also terrified at this time.

This is a serious matter. This is everyone’s first reaction.

But then, everyone's eyes towards Jia Cong changed.

madman!

Absolutely crazy!

Since ancient times, a country has been founded through military force and governed through culture.

This law has been followed in all dynasties.

During the hundred years since the founding of the Daqian Kingdom, the status of literati has become increasingly important.

There has never been a precedent of killing scholars in public.

Just for this personal vendetta?
Don't even think about it.

Tomorrow's memorial impeaching Jia Cong will surely flood the cabinet.

But tomorrow’s affairs belong to tomorrow!
It can be said that Jiangnan Bailu Academy has suffered a loss today.

……

"Reporting to the general, there are a total of 182 rebels in the White Deer Book Society, and they have all been executed."

A stick of incense later, Hou Jingyun walked out of the bookstore, his body covered in blood.

Kneel on one knee and report loudly.

As he spoke, he licked the blood from the corner of his mouth with an unsatisfied look.

Everyone around me has become numb.

One hundred and eighty-two people!
Bailu Book Society was officially removed from Shenjing City today.

Even if Jiangnan sends people to rebuild it again in the future.

With today's setback, it will be difficult to restore the past glory.

"Marquis Zi Yi, are you satisfied now?"

Prince Yi Zhong spoke angrily from the side.

Just a few simple words of thanks for putting the product on the shelves.

This is my first time on Qidian. I didn’t know it would be put on the shelves so early. I have gone through all the procedures before putting it on the shelves. There is no hope for Sanjiang.

My friend just told me that if I don’t put this book on the shelves any longer, it will be a disaster. Indeed, the reading volume in the background is already unstable. If I delay any longer, I will not be able to attend the book for the full time next month.

After thinking about it, it would be better to put the book online and update it quickly to stabilize the readers.

To be honest, I feel very uncomfortable updating 4,000 words a day.

The young author is considered an old author, but he is also a failure.

I have been writing books for several years, and the biggest lesson I have learned is that I should listen to the advice of my parents who provide me with food and clothing.

Sometimes when people tell me that this or that is not good, I feel bad.

But when I calm down, I still feel that I am very grateful for the advice given by the experts. Without these suggestions, I would not be able to make progress.

Regarding updates after the release, the minimum is 10,000 words a day. The better the performance, the more updates there will be.

As for the specific update time, there will definitely be one between 12:00 and 2:00 in the morning, and then it will be divided into one or two times. Let me go and find out how other big guys on Qidian update.

Regarding subscription, if you like this book, please subscribe if you have the conditions.

Otherwise, I would be very grateful if you could give some encouragement to the young author in the book review section.

I will think about how to set up a reader group later. If you are interested, you can join it.

Finally, I still say that there may be some poorly written parts before, and there may be some poorly written parts in the future.

But as long as you give me time, I will definitely let you see my progress.
