Looking at the messy port, looking at the countless dead and injured members of the family, Liang Tang and others fell into silence.
Some of them whose sons had died even clamored to go to Lin Xi to settle accounts, but they were stopped.
After everyone discovered that Xia Yuanqi was also dead, they were even more shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
"This Lin Xi is so brave. He actually dares to kill King Wucheng's only legitimate son! Is he crazy?"
Liang Tang frowned when he heard this.
This King Wucheng is not simple. He was the only one who supported Tianqi at the beginning.
From the fact that Xia Yuanqi was able to mobilize the imperial army, we can see the weight of this old guy.
…
Huaizhou City, city gate.
The six horses walked with arrogant steps and walked through the crowd with their heads held high, their nostrils reaching to the sky.
On both sides of the road.
The people all lowered their eyebrows and bowed their heads in silence.
Although the port is more than thirty miles away, the news of the Northern Liang Prince's madness still arrived one step ahead.
In the crowd, many scholars in Tsing Yi frowned and clenched their fists, looking at the carriage that had just passed by, not hiding their anger.
The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is famous not only for its fish and rice, but also for its gentle and lovely little beauties and its talented scholars.
There are three religions: Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism is far away in the west, and Taoism is in Zhongzhou.
And this Jiangnan is the gathering place of hundreds of schools of thought.
During the Eight Kings Rebellion that year, Lin Zhen led his troops to quell the rebellion, which stained half of Daxia with blood, and countless scholars were involved.
And they were undoubtedly labeled as rebels and became the dead souls of Beiliang.
To this day, they still remember the scene when the Northern Liang cavalry entered the Baisheng Palace and the statue of the saint was dyed red with blood.
The holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world was destroyed by a group of rough guys.
The fire burned for seven days and nights, and countless souls died in it.
At this point, hundreds of schools of thought dispersed to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid disaster, and Confucianism collapsed.
The Confucian Mighty One, a semi-sage who read about the resonance of heaven and earth, entered Beiliang three times to seek justice, but in the end he died in mysterious circumstances, not even a whole body was left behind.
With the blood feud and the misfortune of the master's sect, how could these scholars not feel hatred in their hearts.
…
As soon as she entered the city gate, Lin Xi opened the car curtain and sighed softly as she looked at the pedestrians outside the window.
"People from Jiangnan are rich."
When the queen heard this, she also looked outside.
I saw pedestrians on the street, all of whom were well-dressed. Although they were not richly dressed, they were much better than the people of Zhongzhou.
"Jiangnan has always been known for its prosperity, and the people are relatively wealthy. This is not a strange thing."
The queen said she didn't care much, but there was still a hint of disappointment in her bright eyes.
They were both in Daxia, but the gap was so huge. In her memory, the taxes in Jiangnan as a whole seemed to have been reduced by another 30% last year.
The people in the south of the Yangtze River are rich, the merchants are rich, and the whole territory is rich, but only taxes are enough to make people rich. What kind of bullshit is this?
When Lin Xi saw this, he grinned playfully.
"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand, and I would like your Majesty to give me some advice."
When the queen heard this, she frowned and said, "Tell me about it."
Lin Xi lay on her side in Ziyuan's arms and asked with her eyes closed: "Mother, you said that the late emperor also experienced the chaos of the kings. Why did he want to divide the kings in the first place? Didn't he know what this would cause? Are there consequences?"
The Queen was slightly startled.
Lin Xi sneered when he saw this. "Hey, why am I asking you? You probably don't know about such things."
Hearing this sinister tone, the queen gritted her teeth angrily and stared fiercely.
"Hmph, I have eaten more salt than your kid has walked, so this is a way to motivate generals..."
Before Lin Xi could finish her words, she tilted her head with disdain: "That's because you have strong taste!"
The queen was choked and turned red.
Because this matter is indeed true, everyone in the palace knows that she has always loved salty and fresh food.
Xu Yanran on the side silently recited a few Buddhist chants and thought to herself, why are you messing with this bastard? He is famous for his sharp talk in the imperial capital.
He never lost a fight, and he was even better at quarrels. It is said that he once angered a third-grade civil servant to death.
…
the other side.
Liang Tang and others were sitting in the carriage, all with sad faces.
This time, the mawei did not show up, and he was even slapped twice in the face. Now it is even more difficult to get off the tiger. If one thing is not done well, I am afraid that I will really be left with nothing to eat.
Du He had a cold face and growled angrily: "Asshole, this Lin Xi is simply a bastard!"
"If you don't give him a satisfactory answer within three days, are you going to kill Jiangnan with blood?"
"Who does he think he is? Does he really think he is the King of Northern Liang?"
Another middle-aged man then said: "Yes, bandit, this Lin Xi is a bandit!"
"Looking at his tone, he is asking the lion to open his mouth and hit us hard."
Liang Tang remained silent when he heard the words, constantly thinking about the pros and cons in his heart.
Is Lin Zhen really crazy?
No...this is impossible, the Eight Kings will not allow him to mess around!
He must be bluffing, yes, he must be bluffing.
Thinking about it, Liang Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not urgent, just wait and see."
Du He's mouth trembled when he heard this.
"Still waiting?"
"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Lin Zhen to set foot in Jiangnan?"
As he said that, Du He curled his lips in disgust and rolled his eyes.
"Old Liang, please stop talking nonsense. It was you who said that Lin Zhen would never mess around, so we decided to give this kid a kick in the ass!"
"Now that things have become like this, if we wait any longer, I'm afraid my brain will have to move!"
After hearing this, everyone else also felt a chill rising up, and subconsciously echoed: "Yes, Lin Zhen is a lunatic. Have you forgotten what happened back then?"
As soon as these words came out, Liang Tang's pupils shrank.
Du He clenched his fists and said with a scared look on his face: "That's right, we can't wait any longer."
"Those old guys just chewed a few words, and Lin Zhen almost killed him!"
"This Lin Xi is exactly the same as him. The father and son are absolutely biological. They are just two lunatics! If we wait any longer, if we wait any longer we may have to jump in line to report to the underworld!"
After Du He said this, he stood up suddenly, but unexpectedly, he was too tall and knocked out a big bag with a bang.
The old man rubbed his head with one hand, opened the car curtain with the other, and walked out in a hurry.
When Liang Tang saw this, his chest felt tight and he shouted sharply.
"Get back here, old man!"
"I haven't even run away with the helpless scholar. Why are you so anxious?"
"A Beiliang scared you like this, but you are still a military commander! Isn't it a shame?"
Du He's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he hesitated for a moment before sitting back.
"Who said I'm going to run away? I just can't get used to riding in this broken carriage!"
