The full harem escape game

Chapter 462 Petition

Although there was no one around, Lin Menglong still turned sideways subconsciously to help her block her possible sight.

He tilted his head and asked her in a low voice: "What is this?"

Xia Qingyang unfolded the things outside the mansion just now, and took a look at the thing that the uncle gave her——

"Petition." She paused, quickly folded the thing and stuffed it into her bosom, "I pressed dozens of petitions with bloody handprints."

Rao was Lin Menglong, his forehead tightened when he heard this: "What is the petition?"

"Don't kill General Min."

Xia Qingyang patted Lin Menglong's shoulder, signaling that someone inside seemed to be coming out.

Lin Menglong immediately stood at attention.

After a few breaths, the two saw Ren Yi walking out of the door.

Ren Yi: "Let's go, City Lord Qiu wants to have a private chat with Lord Inspector, let's go back to the room first."

-

Just like last time in Luoshu City, Xia Qingyang told Ren Yi about the situation of Zuo Cheng's family after he took care of the little "guards" who were watching around.

"In addition, there is this, Your Highness, please take a look." Xia Qingyang took out the petition and carefully presented it to Ren Yi.

This paper is very thin, you can tell it is not good paper when you touch it, it is easy to break.

But the writing on it is excellent.Xia Qingyang believes that there is a high probability that it was done by the very educated uncle just now.

In the petition, the uncle almost summed up what they shouted just now in written words.

In the end, it was written that it was people from three villages near Chichun City, one person from each household, who jointly petitioned for a light punishment for General Min.

Few of the other common people were literate, so there were not many people who signed their names with a pen, and most of them pressed their fingerprints.

Ren Yi finished reading, closed the petition, and sighed slightly.

Xia Qingyang observed her expression, and asked softly, "Your Highness, have you already met General Min?"

Ren Yi didn't answer, Lin Menglong answered: "We went to the prison in the morning. His Highness, as his father's comrade-in-arms, advised him for a long time, wanting him to confess other accomplices, tell where the food is, so as to mitigate the crime, but General Min Kid... well, I just bite him to death and don't let go."

Xia Qingyang: "In other words, this 'General Min' is really the son of that old comrade-in-arms?"

Lin Menglong nodded.

Ren Yi opened the petition and read it again, and finally closed the petition as if she had made up her mind: "This matter originally originated from the fact that the relief food was not delivered on time. At this point, if he is really beheaded like this, we will be ashamed to see Lao Min when we are under the Nine Springs."

"What's your Highness planning?" Xia Qingyang asked.

"I want to save General Min." Ren Yi turned sideways and cupped her fists at Xia Qingyang, "I hope you can help me. If General Min refuses to tell you where the food is, I want to fill in the vacancy for him."

"Your Highness, please get up and let me think about it." Xia Qingyang rubbed his chin, seemingly lost in thought, and did not answer for a moment.

On the contrary, Lin Menglong raised objections: "Your Highness, is this really feasible? Since His Majesty sent the governor to seek an explanation, he must arrest someone to take the blame."

Ren Yi: "I tried it at the dinner table just now. What the governor is anxious about right now is actually the whereabouts of the remaining part of the military rations. It sounds like my imperial brother has set a death limit for him and told him to send it away within a few days. Bring back the food."

"The remaining part? Have you found part of it?" Xia Qingyang heard the key words.

Ren Yi: "Yes. As soon as the food robbery happened, City Lord Qiu sent people to search from house to house. Finally, the food was found in several villages in the subordinate counties and towns - because the military food is packed in special bags , and the people of a few families were not careful enough, so they put the bags in the house so grandly, and the officers and soldiers found out as soon as they entered the door."

"How much did you get back?"

"Not much, only about one-fifth of it. It was only because the common people reported each other that they were recovered."

"Oh yes, speaking of which, how did General Min get caught? Did none of his accomplices get caught?" Xia Qingyang asked again.

Lin Menglong: "I heard that three of his accomplices were arrested together with him. But those three people had been beheaded a few days ago in order to intimidate General Min and force him to reveal the location of the remaining food. But to Talk about how Min Jiang was captured..."

He didn't know either.

Ren Yi suddenly said: "There is a family of people who confessed to General Min. They said that he led people to rob the food, and pointed out his hiding place to the officers and soldiers."

Lin Menglong was startled when he heard this: "I don't even know about this..."

"Well, because it was just now in the prison, when Min Jiang and I were talking alone, General Min told me." Ren Yi hesitated to speak.

Xia Qingyang understood a bit: "Then General Min felt that he was betrayed by the people?"

Ren Yi nodded.

Now, combined with various descriptions, Xia Qingyang already had an image of General Min in his mind—in all likelihood, he was a very passionate young man.He thought he was doing a good thing to benefit the people, but he didn't want the villagers to surrender him in order to protect themselves in front of the government. Now he is probably very angry and disappointed.

Judging by Ren Yi's state of mind, the conversation between the two of them in the prison just now should not have been very pleasant.

"I understand Your Highness. We can deliver the food, but it will be later, okay?"

"You senior brothers and sisters should also need to discuss it. It's okay, just do it before tomorrow."

"know."

Xia Qingyang nodded, hugged Ren Yi, and left the city lord's mansion on the pretext of going back to He Minghua for discussion.

She left the petition with Ren Yi. This thing represented public opinion, so it would be more useful if left in Ren Yi's hands.

Now she plans to go to the place the old man told her to see if she can know more about General Min after seeing the old man.
-
After inquiring all the way, the journey became more and more remote, and when he was about to leave the city, Xia Qingyang finally stopped outside a dilapidated alley.

The location pointed out to her by passers-by is here, but if you go further in, you don't know which household it is.

Just when Xia Qingyang was thinking about asking the big tree on the side of the road, a child poked his head out of the alley.

Seeing her, the child seemed a little scared, but he still ran to confirm his identity: "You, you are the person next to the eldest princess, right?"

Xia Qingyang leaned down slightly, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible: "I am."

"You are finally here! Grandpa Dong has been waiting for you for a long time."

Under the guidance of the child, Xia Qingyang followed him into the depths of the alley and finally found the place.

In the courtyard, several people she had seen outside the city lord's mansion were there, among them was the old man.

"My lord, you really came. Ah, my surname is Dong, you can call me whatever you want." After Mr. Dong introduced himself, he invited Xia Qingyang to sit in the room.

Xia Qingyang looked around and found that both the house and the yard were very old.However, the house was cleaned very clean, and it could be seen that someone was living there, and there were quite a few people.
