Even though Xiao Yan was of royal blood, she had already been conferred the title of county princess by the emperor.

The common people in the capital dared not say much about the affairs of the royal family and nobles, but who could blame them for acting so arrogantly and domineeringly?

As long as there are rumors among the people that there is something scandalous about them, they will be visited and suppressed and warned.

Public opinion will either be suppressed to death or, after being suppressed to the extreme, it will rebound doubly.

Today is the wedding of Xie Jun and Xiao Yan in the Hou Mansion. There are so many people here that it is hard to find the source of the conversation.

Moreover, there is an old saying that the law cannot hold everyone responsible.

If anyone speaks up, Xie Jun and Xiao Yan might remember him, and there would be no good outcome.

But since all the people in Kyoto were involved, even the emperor had to give them some room.

Not to mention Xie Jun and Xiao Yan, those two incestuous beasts.

Therefore, after Xie Qi criticized the crowd, the people not only did not quiet down, but instead insulted Xie Jun even louder.

"Incestuous beast!"

"brute!"

Xie Jun's eyes were red and his face was ferocious.

He wiped the rotten egg liquid off his face fiercely, and swept his wolf-like eyes over the people who were cursing him along the street.

What qualifications do these common people have to point fingers at his affairs!

"You lowly bitches, shut up! She and I are not siblings!"

Xie Yan was supposed to be a princess of the royal family. They had no blood relationship and could not be considered siblings.

This sentence is like cold water poured into boiling oil, or a spark on a barrel of explosives.

The crowd was excited and their voices grew louder than ever.

"You are the bitch! Why are you so arrogant with a broken-legged cripple?"

"How dare you argue that Xie Yan is not your sister!"

An old man in the crowd was so angry that his face turned red. "Xie Yan has been your sister for more than 20 years. She is no doubt your biological sister! Xie Jun, you disregard morality and seduce your biological sister. You deserve to be thrown into the pig cage!"

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most severe punishment for incest was to be thrown into a pig cage together.

Especially the eldest one, he even attacked his blood relatives, which shows his beastly nature.

"That's right! Incest is beastly, you are worse than a beast!"

"You are such a rotten hearted person who hooked up with my sister and insulted my wife! How come he only has a broken leg!"

Along with countless curses coming from nowhere, a blanket of rotten eggs and leaves flew out from everywhere and smashed directly into Xie Jun's sedan chair.

The sedan chair was leaking air on all sides, and apart from exposing Xie Jun's broken leg, it couldn't block anything else.

Especially today, Xie Jun was wearing a fancy wedding dress, which looked expensive, like a rooster with a broken leg inlaid with gold and jade.

He also repeatedly called the people inferior, which directly ignited the anger of the people.

The contradiction between the nobles and the common people in the Great Zhou Dynasty had long been irreconcilable, especially in Kyoto.

It is a simple fact that while the rich live in luxury, others freeze to death on the streets.

Xie Jun's behavior was completely due to the fact that he was spoiled by the servants in the Marquis' Mansion and had no idea of ​​the consequences.

On top of a restaurant in the street market, Chu Mingzhao opened the window and saw Xie Jun's sedan chair, which was littered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs along the way.

When leaving the Marquis's Mansion, the sedan chair was still clean and full of joy.

Now, it's just a moving prison van.

This doesn't look like a wedding reception, it looks more like a parade.

"It's just rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. It's a relief for him if he can't be killed."

Chu Mingzhao sneered and knocked on the table.

"Jia Zuo, continue to send people to lead the crowd in scolding him."

If I can’t kill Xie Jun, I will make sure he will never forget this night.

Jia Zuo suddenly appeared, but before he could say anything, he heard Chu Mingzhao say.

"Don't waste the prepared chicken blood. Wait until he picks up Xiao Yan before pouring the chicken blood on her! Don't let her get away!"

How could Xiao Yan escape if she only had to deal with Xie Jun?

To be honest, Xiao Yan was the one who took on the big responsibility with her.

If Jiang Li hadn't saved her at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she would have died from the poison because of Xie Yan!

Now she was just collecting some interest from Xiao Yan.

But she was scolded all over the street and her reputation was ruined. Xiao Yan had to protect herself well!

"Yes."

Jia Zuo nodded and whispered, "However, Princess, we don't need to guide the crowd. The people are acting spontaneously."

All the people who cursed Xie Jun in the street did so on their own initiative, and the manpower they had deployed in advance was useless.

"what?"

Chu Mingzhao opened his eyes slightly and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Even if there was advance momentum and Xie Jun's insults, the people would still not dare to offend Xie Jun unless someone took action first.

After all, Xie Jun is the prince of the marquisate, and Xiao Yan is the county lady.

"Many of them have been ..."

Jia Zuo hesitated for a moment, but still told Chu Mingzhao the latest information he had received.

"They have received favors from the Crown Prince's wife."

"Is there such a thing?"

Chu Mingzhao was greatly surprised. When had Jiang Li ever helped them?

"The Crown Prince's Consort has always had a good reputation. Before she got married, she often sent people to secretly distribute porridge and provide relief to poor families."

"After marrying into the Yongning Marquis's mansion, although she no longer went out of the mansion to attend banquets, she did not stop helping people. On the contrary, she was good at business, and the number of people she helped increased."

Following Jia Zuo's words, Chu Mingzhao also discovered that the people who were smashing rotten eggs and throwing vegetable leaves on the street were very different from those who were simply cursing.

Their clothes were more simply worn, but their anger was the greatest!

Jia Zuo's usually calm tone was now tinged with a hint of regret, "The Crown Prince's Consort never let anyone publicize these things, so if you don't inquire carefully, it would be impossible for anyone to discover them."

After all, in the eyes of the nobles, the untouchables are as worthless as grass and naturally not worthy of their attention, and helping them is absolutely impossible.

Anyone who helps the common people will be laughed at.

Especially since Jiang Li had been disfigured before, if people knew that she was helping the common people, then those so-called nobles would reject her even more.

Therefore, this matter was not discovered even when Prince Yong's Mansion was investigating Jiang Li before. It was only today when they discovered that the people were particularly indignant and conducted an in-depth investigation that they found out.

"Over the years, the Crown Princess has helped countless civilians. Today, all of them who could come have come."

Maybe Jiang Li himself doesn't remember it.

However, those who were saved by her and are still alive remember her.

Chu Mingzhao curled the corners of his lips and his brows softened.

"The so-called nobles are shameless, but the common people whom they look down upon are grateful and repay their kindness."

Jia Zuo was silent for a moment and didn't say anything.

Chu Mingzhao's words seemed to involve herself as well.

The Prince Yong's Mansion is the most powerful and influential one under the Emperor.

However, Chu Mingzhao grew up outside the palace, so it is normal for him to have no sense of identification with the nobility.

Even though he had been protecting Chu Mingzhao for more than a year, Chu Mingzhao did not treat him as a slave.

To some extent, Chu Mingzhao is indeed very similar to Jiang Li.

"Our people don't need to withdraw. We can distribute more rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, etc."

Chu Mingzhao saw that the egg-smashing man had no rotten eggs in his hands, and this was just the beginning of the procession to the palace to pick him up.

How could Xiao Yan not enjoy the same treatment?
