Chapter 132: The public opinion is overwhelming

The merchants deliberately humiliated Yun Caier, with the purpose of giving the people and merchants in Yiyang City a look at the outcome of confronting the ten major families. Even a princess is like this, let alone these civilians who have no backing.

When she realized it instantly, Yun Caier regretted it. She knew that she should not give this opportunity to the Ten Major Families. She just needed to endure it for a while and investigate it secretly. When she got some ironclad evidence, she could make a high-profile effort and severely hit the Ten Major Families' arrogance.

However, the three-month confinement had already worn out her patience, especially the complaints from the servants kept coming in her ears. Yun Caier, who had always been cautious, made a high-profile comeback after the confinement period, which was completely different from her temper.

Faced with the humiliation of the merchant, even though Yun Caier knew she was unable to defeat her, she could still die together. However, at the critical moment, he thought of his father, and suddenly the anger in her heart could not burn anyway.

Compared to the humiliation of the father, what does this ridicule he received count as?

After thinking through everything, Yun Caier had already planned to return to the princess's mansion quickly with her guards. This hatred was kept in mind, and his decline in reputation was also a punishment for his recklessness. Yun Caier had already recognized it.

But at this moment, Li Chong rushed over and saw Li Chong, Yun Cai'er's almost desperate heart suddenly revived.

"If I read it correctly, these should be the criminals who were just caught by the Lord Zhou. No matter what the crime they committed, escaping from prison is a serious crime of extermination. Since Lord Zhou is incompetent and cannot bring these prisoners to justice, then as a royal family member, even if Yiyang is not her fiefdom, he must not stand by if he encounters such a thing." Turning his head, Li Chong's face became very gloomy, but he forcibly endured the anger in his heart and said.

There are not only ten major families, the Lord Zhou, but also many people and merchants. These merchants are the foundation of Yiyang City. If today's events are spread, Yun Caier's prestige will drop to freezing point. Li Chong knew that everything was because of himself, and he also had the obligation to help Yun Caier re-establish prestige.

"Yiyang City is the territory of Princess Yiyang, so she has the right to manage the matters here."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly in the crowd.

With one person, there will be a second person soon. Anyway, there are many people and are hidden in the crowd. It is probably difficult for the ten major families to find people if they want to take revenge.

In almost a blink of an eye, the sound of supporting Yuncai'er was getting louder and louder, and some people and businessmen had even begun to tell some of the crimes of the ten major families.

Seeing the people's anger, Shang Jixiang's face changed, and his eyes turned rapidly, looking for a solution.

If Yun Caier said this, it was simply Wang Po selling melons. The merchant and the city master Zhou had a lot of words waiting for Yun Caier, of course Yun Caier also knew it.

But if Li Chong said this, it would be completely different. The name of Li Shisan, who was raiding his family, was already well-known in Yiyang City, especially because he dared to take the lead in confronting the ten major families. He fought against the Great Seals who were like gods some time ago, which made Li Chong's reputation reach its peak. It can be said that Li Chong is the hope of civilians and lowly merchants in Yiyang City.

Not to mention that Li Chong is justified, even if he is arrogant and unreasonable, these people and businessmen will help him create momentum. These civilians have long hated the oppression of the ten major families.

"You are a fugitive. If Princess Yiyang had not released you privately, you would have been a dead body. It's a joke. The fugitive will catch the fugitive." Of course, Lord Zhou would not show weakness. He would definitely not allow his prestige to be suppressed after Li Chong's words.

"Fugitive? Everyone knows the facts, Chunxiang's tragedy is vivid in his mind. The reason why I was considered a prisoner was the crime that the ten major families forced on me from the beginning. I never admitted it from beginning to end. The princess let me go was for the sake of the people of the entire Yiyang City. He would rather be humiliated by you and protect someone like me who dares to resist. She is sincere for the people." Li Chong raised his hands behind his back and faced the accusations of Zhou Chengzhu indifferently.

"Li Chong is innocent, we support him."

"Li Chong is a hero and his charge is invalid."

"If the court investigates again, we will jointly record the matter and submit it. This crime will not be possible."

"Only the ten major families are allowed to kill people, and no one else is allowed to take revenge. There is such a law in Dayunchao. Li Chong did the right thing, so we support him."

After Li Chong's words finished, the already very excited people became even more excited at this time. Several merchants even stood up with red faces, no longer caring about the next persecution of the ten major families.

This is how the people are. Although they are timid, if one person dares to take the lead, the others will certainly not be outdone.

Immediately, almost all the people took a step forward in an orderly manner, and the sound waves were also higher and higher.

"You want to rebel, but you can't do it." The Lord Zhou roared with a gloomy face at this time, then waved his right hand, and dozens of city guards immediately dispersed, unsheathed the knife and rolled the arrows, looking like they were ready to take action at any time.

At this moment, Li Chong saw that the time was ripe and coughed gently.

Yun Caier woke up instantly. What a smart person she was. How could she not know that Li Chong was making a sensation at this time, and now it was the best opportunity.

He stepped forward quickly, and Yuncai'er didn't even take out the guards. He stood alone in front of the people and faced the sword of the city guards with his chest.

"What do you want to do? The city guards are to maintain the security of Yiyang City. They are not your private army of the ten major families, nor are they used to deal with the people. As the manager of Yiyang City, you should learn to listen to the voices of the people and serve the people, rather than threatening the people with swords. If you dare to do something today, I will use my body to protect my people." Yun Caier stood in front of the people with an angry look on his face, pointing at the city lord Zhou and scolding him.

"Princess, don't do this,"

"Princess is about to avoid it. If they dare to come, we will fight with them."

"Thank you, Princess, I really hope you will manage Yiyang City."

Yun Caier's words ignited the enthusiasm of the people to a climax. All the people immediately walked forward quickly, wrapped Yun Caier heavily, and glared at dozens of city guards.

Seeing this scene, City Lord Zhou felt cold. Li Chong not only helped Princess Yiyang to regain his dignity, but also pushed Yun Caier to the peak of his reputation. Since then, the prestige of his city lord may have fallen to the bottom in an instant.

Lord Zhou couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he shouldn't have helped the merchants so obviously.
