He Zhixian immediately calmed down and calmed down a little. “Sixth Young Master is right. However, these people have been captured. How should our next plan be implemented?”

Without these people helping to encourage others, wouldn’t Madam Zhang be at Princess Shaoyi’s mercy?

Sixth Young Master Han frowned. “Our plan is already half successful. Next, it depends on Princess Shaoyi’s reaction.”

On the streets, Madam Zhang had publicly stopped Princess Shaoyi’s carriage to avenge her husband. Princess Shaoyi had caught the people they had planted and controlled the situation. However, she could not avoid the main point and go through the motions in this matter.

Yu Youyao’s voice sounded through the gauze curtain. “You disregarded the rules of respect and etiquette and openly criticized our county in public. You’re disrespectful. If you didn’t mean it, our county can also be magnanimous. However, you’re infamous and have angered everyone. We can’t let you off easily.”

As soon as she finished speaking!

The hooligans who were lying on the ground were already scared out of their wits. They quickly knelt on the ground and cried, begging for mercy.

“We’re innocent. We’re just being paid to do things for others…”

“Yes, yes, yes. Someone instigated us to instigate the commoners when Madam Zhang was seeking justice. The Princess had no choice but to interfere in Madam Zhang’s grievances in public because everyone was watching…”

“Princess, please spare us. We know our mistakes. We’ll definitely change our ways in the future and be good people…”

“…”

These people were afraid of death. Before they could be scared that much, they were so frightened that they peed their pants. They revealed everything they knew on the spot and did not dare to hide anything.

At this point, how could Sixth Young Master Han not understand that by first diverting the trouble and deliberately mentioning King Li of Zhou’s death to Madam Zhang, Princess Shaoyi was inviting him into her trap?

The aristocratic families were secretive about King Li of Zhou’s death, so they would definitely react.

He had indeed fallen for it.

When hehe hurriedly ordered the person He Zhixian had planted in advance to implicate Madam Zhang in the matter of pleading guilty, he had already unknowingly fallen into Princess Shaoyi’s trap.

Princess Shaoyi had captured the people who had been planted in advance and seemed to be in control of the situation.

These hooligans were all shameless people. They felt that they had not gone too far. When they were captured, they were all fearless. Princess Shaoyi had a “holy kindness” and reputation, so it was not appropriate for them to be punished on the spot.

Therefore, what was really brilliant was that Princess Shaoyi had asked others to publicly identify these people’s unbearable and evil actions. These people had angered everyone.

It made sense for Princess Shaoyi to deal with them.

When these hooligans realized their situation, how could they dare to be stubborn?

Princess Shaoyi had schemed against the human heart and human nature perfectly. She had instantly turned the situation around. The matter of Madam Zhang’s complaint had changed from purely acknowledging her husband’s injustice to something else.

Their plan was ruined.

Indeed!

Yu Youyao looked at Madam Zhang and asked gently, “You publicly stopped the carriage of our county to seek justice for your husband. Did someone instigate you too?”

Madam Zhang was already so frightened that her face turned ashen. “My husband just caught an ordinary cold. How could a bowl of medicine take his life? I went to the medicinal shop to argue, but they refused to admit it and insisted that I was extorting them. They chased me out and complained to the government office. The government office asked me to show evidence before they were willing to accept it. My in-laws fell sick one after another because of my husband’s death and wanted money to treat their illnesses. There were still five children at home who were waiting to eat. I was at my wits’ end, so I heard that the Princess was from a famous family and valued her family’s reputation. She was a living Bodhisattva and couldn’t bear to see the commoners suffer and suffer. Moreover, it just so happened that the Princess was going to the Dragon Phoenix Temple today. If I could stop the Princess’s carriage and plead guilty in public, the Princess might be able to stand up for me…”

Yu Youyao was silent for a moment before sighing softly. “Get up. No matter what, you’re innocent. Since you’ve begged me, I can’t ignore it.”

Madam Zhang quickly kowtowed. “Thank you for your kindness, Princess.”

Then, Xia Tao helped her up.

Yu Youyao called Old Madam Sun forward and instructed, “Bring a few people home with this auntie first. Bring her in-laws and children to the Yu Garden and find a doctor with brilliant medical skills to treat them. Without a man in the family to support the family, their future won’t be easy. Give them a few suitable jobs from the businesses under my name to support the family.”

Madam Zhang did not dare to mention avenging her husband anymore. Not only had the Princess hired someone to treat her in-laws, but she had also arranged work for their family. She was already very grateful.

Yu Youyao also knew that Madam Zhang had publicly stopped her carriage to avenge her husband.contemporary romance

Although she had eliminated this matter and avoided the main point, and no one dared to mention it, it was not such a small favor that she could be slipshod with.

Hence, she changed the topic and comforted her. “Your first husband sacrificed his life for the country for the greater good. Although you married again, you’re raising the orphan of a martyr. Your second husband has been working for the You army for many years. He has worked hard even if he hasn’t contributed much. I’ll make the decision to invite Military Advisor Huang, who’s under King Yue Fei, over. At that time, you’ll tell Military Advisor Huang about your situation in detail. Naturally, he’ll stand up for you.”

When Madam Zhang heard this, she was naturally excited. She knelt in front of the carriage with a thud and kowtowed a few more times. “Thank you for your grace, Princess…”

This way, this matter was handled clearly.

The commoners deeply felt that Princess Shaoyi was kind and benevolent, so they all sighed.

Meanwhile, Sixth Young Master Han, who was upstairs, felt that they had a strong start but a weak finish.

Everything was going according to plan, and there were no mistakes. However, it was like a punch hitting cotton. They used all their strength, but it was in vain. A good overt plan had turned into a farce.

As he wished, Princess Shaoyi interfered in Madam Zhang’s complaint.

However, this interference was different from what they had expected.

Princess Shaoyi had deliberately mentioned the compensation. The compensation involved the You army, so it was impossible for King Yue Fei to sit back and do nothing. Once King Yue Fei was involved, the aristocratic families would fall into a passive situation.

Was this considered trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice?

The curtain was lowered again, blocking the shadowy figure in the carriage as it clattered on.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were at their wits’ end, how would the commoners dare to stop the noble’s carriage?

Madam Zhang’s ex-husband had only died a few years ago. If she received the pension money, the army would usually take care of her. Although her days were a little tough, she would not be at her wits’ end.

The North was bitterly cold, and the soldiers’ salary and pensions were higher than those in other areas. According to the length of time they had joined the army, the wars they had participated in, and the size of their military contributions, they would receive at least eight or ten taels of silver, or at most a hundred taels.

As long as they didn’t spend their money without generating any income, pension money was equivalent to a huge sum of money to ordinary people.

She had heard from Yin Huaixi that the army prioritized the distribution of pension money to martyrs. For this, King Li of Zhou and the Princess Consort did not hesitate to sell their assets. Then, when King Li of Zhou was still alive, there would be no long-term arrears of pension money.
