The civil and military officials were numb all over after being stared at, and they all lowered their heads without saying a word. Gradually, the anger of the people was slowly calmed down.
Xiao Jingheng bent down and sat down, put his other hand on his knee casually, and said as if chatting: "If you can live an ordinary and worry-free life, why do you care who gets that position."
"If the two sides continue to fight, the people will be the first to suffer. Is this the result you want?"
When the people heard this, they looked at each other one after another, not knowing what to do for a while.
"Then why did you go back on your word and kill the emperor?" someone asked loudly.
Xiao Jingheng did not dodge or dodge and explained loudly: "I have decided to forgive the Emperor of Xihai, but he dared to speak nonsense, deliberately provoke, and insisted on provoking a dispute between the two countries. I have no choice but to kill him."
The man obviously didn't believe it.
"Why did I hear that it was the witch from Chu Shang Palace that the emperor accidentally offended, and you killed the emperor in anger because of your sudden attack on her?"
"It's easy to make us obey, unless..."
"Ouch!" A roar directly covered up the second half of the man's words. The fish yawned boredly and threw a piece of meat. The tiger opened its bloody mouth and bit the piece of meat at once, chewing it.
He swallowed it after two swallows.
The man's face changed slightly when he saw this.
"Come here!" Xiao Jingheng raised his hand and called for dozens of guards: "From now on, each of you can write down your complaints. I will be here to review them one by one without hesitation. If the situation is true, I will
I will make the decision for you. If what you say is half true or false, you should be punished!"
Xiao Jingheng's face was filled with anger, and he added: "As for the witch or the goddess, she has not done anything harmful to nature, and it has nothing to do with you. If you feel that you have been hurt, just report it to the guards!"
So dozens of guards moved in tables, chairs, benches, and the four treasures of the study.
The common people suddenly didn't know what to do. Their interests were not damaged for the time being. They just followed everyone's opinions and came to make trouble. The purpose was to scare Xiao Jingheng and not allow him to mess around.
To be honest, what does it have to do with them whether the emperor dies or not?
Xiao Jingheng pointed at the two officials, and they were brought forward and bowed tremblingly.
"What do you call the two adults?"
"Weichen Censor, Doctor."
"Wei Chen, Minister of the Criminal Department."
Jamel Xiao asked again: "What do you two think?"
Being questioned in public, and it was the future Emperor of the West Sea, how could they dare to have any opinions? Their heads were shaking like a wave.
Then he asked a few more people and got the same reply. With the officials' words, the people suddenly felt like they were being deceived.
"You killed the emperor, you are robbers!" A young man jumped out of the crowd and looked at Xiao Jingheng angrily: "I am warning you to get out of the West Sea immediately, otherwise you will be punished by God!"
Jamel Xiao glanced at the man, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Who is this?"
"This king is King Yi!"
Xiao Jingheng jumped down from the carriage and came directly to King Yi: "I know that you are plundering people's wealth and doing all kinds of evil. Your mother-in-law is the concubine Leng who was abandoned by the late emperor."
Being poked in a sore spot, King Yi's expression suddenly changed and he glared at the other person: "You are talking nonsense!"
"King Yi doesn't have the Sacred Heart at all. He bribes officials overtly and covertly, and spreads rumors everywhere. The Emperor of Xihai has already wanted to execute you."
Before Xiao Jingheng came, he had already collected information on important members of Xihai, including King Yi in front of him.
This time, there is a high probability that he is also involved in the trouble.
"You..." King Yi suddenly felt guilty. Just as he was about to refute the other party, King Rui said: "What the emperor said is true. Today King Yi deliberately incited the people, just to use the people to stir up trouble, and he didn't think about the consequences at all.
, If it weren’t for the kindness of the Southern Emperor, he would have gone on a killing spree."
King Rui knelt on the ground and bowed his head to Xiao Jingheng, who was in charge. King Yi naturally denied it and mocked King Rui for being spineless.
Xiao Jingheng immediately canonized King Rui and was still King Rui, and gave King Rui a good fiefdom. King Yi almost felt regretful when he saw this, but there were so many people at the moment that he couldn't help but bow down to Xiao Jingheng, and he even said more
He was relentless in saying things like traitor and cold-heartedness.
The smart official immediately understood the situation, stopped struggling in vain, and came to Xiao Jingheng's side: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Someone took the lead, and about half of the people behind him also kowtowed and shouted, "Long live our emperor, long live the emperor."
Seeing this, Xiao Jingheng waved his hand: "Dear ladies, please stand up. Xihai will still need your help in the future, and the people of Xihai will also need you."
Smart people can not only protect themselves from being implicated, but also honor their families, so why not?
Only a few other officials stiffened their necks and looked down on each other. They stood in the crowd with stinky faces and said nothing. Xiao Jingheng did not force himself at all and ordered the officials to return to their original positions. If anyone came again
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be severely punished.
When the common people saw that the officials had compromised, they would be struggling to support them again, so they began to disperse in twos and threes.
About an hour later, the people on the street had almost dispersed. The smile on Xiao Jingheng's face suddenly disappeared, he squinted at the civil and military officials, and immediately said: "Everyone, please go back to your homes. There is no need to do your best.
Don’t leave the house casually.”
As soon as he finished speaking, King Yi couldn't help shouting: "Don't go back, you will die if you go back. Xiao Jingheng will never let you have an easy time."
King Rui rushed forward and slapped King Yi hard, quickly and hard: "Shut up, the dynasty has changed here, the emperor is dead long ago, no one can stop you if you want to die, but you have to do it for Yi."
For the sake of those in the palace."
After being reminded like this, King Yi became honest in an instant. He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jingheng, but was so frightened by the fierceness in his eyes that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, trembling and still refusing to give in.
"Your Majesty, King Yi has had such a temper since he was a child. Please calm down. I think he must have been stimulated by something and did not mean to contradict you." King Rui looked at his compatriots and had to intercede for King Yi.
.
Xiao Jingheng still had a faint smile on his face: "It doesn't matter, I won't care about it."
