After Li Xiaoran received this letter, she happened to receive news that Luo Cheng was safe.
After putting this letter and note together, Li Xiaoran smiled brightly.
The tables had been turned!
It was time for them to have a taste of being forced as well!
At this moment, something happened in Hele Village.
Other shops operated normally, but businesses under Li Xiaoran or Luo Cheng’s name were all sealed off by the soldiers.
Even the workshops in other villages were no exception.
However, when the soldiers arrived, all the people working in the workshop actually picked up their weapons and stopped the soldiers outside the door.
When Luo Ziyang and Li Xiaoqing arrived, they saw this scene.
The soldiers and workers confronted each other. When the commoners of the surrounding villages received the news, they ran over to protect the workshop with hoes, sickles, poles, and scimitars.
“Are you people trying to rebel? The emperor has already ordered the assets under Mr. Luo’s name to be confiscated. If you guys block us, we’ll arrest your entire family!” A person in an official’s uniform stood in the middle as he threatened.
“If you have the ability, capture all of us! Can your prison hold so many of us?
Also, you said that the emperor ordered the confiscation of the assets under Mr. Luo’s name, but where’s the imperial edict? Where’s the notice? You have nothing to show us, but you want to seal off the workshop?! You guys are probably here to kill us!” A worker questioned loudly with a dark expression.
Another woman thought of something and shouted, “That’s right. Seeing that our workshop’s business is doing well, you officials want to snatch it! Don’t think that just because we’re commoners, we don’t know anything! We’ve heard that our workshop’s good business has made many people jealous and they secretly caused trouble in order to snatch the workshop. Don’t listen to this corrupt official who wants to snatch our workshop and prevent us from earning money to live a good life!”
Another man thought of something and also warned everyone loudly, “That’s right. When our lives are difficult, we don’t see them showing any concern for us! Now that Mr. Luo and the consort have brought us a way to earn a good livelihood, they’re trying to interfere. They really can’t bear to see us commoners live a good life! Do you guys remember? Previously, when Mr. Luo went out to discuss something, someone spread rumors that Mr. Luo was dead. Later on, Mr. Luo returned and dispelled the rumors! I think these people are trying to cause trouble while Mr. Luo and the consort aren’t around!” When Li Xiaoqing heard this, her eyes turned red.
“If my sister were here and saw this scene, she would be overjoyed! My sister often says that sincerity is exchanged for sincerity! She has never asked for anything in return! However, these people didn’t let her down. Everyone saw her contributions.”
Zi Cheng also didn’t expect that one day, the commoners would stand on their side and protect the workshop.
To be honest, this feeling was very novel and touching!
Actually, it wasn’t just the workshop. This was happening all over the food street in Golden Sun Town.
Countless people blocked the soldiers from touching these businesses.
Everyone knew who was sincerely doing things for the sake of the commoners.
While Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng were on the verge of death in the capital, the commoners of Sichuan used their strength to help Zi Cheng protect these businesses.
“You guys are courting death! Come, kill these rebels!”
“Let’s see who dares to move! If any commoners are hurt today, I’ll kill the entire family of the person who attacked. I, Luo Ziyang, will keep my word!” At this moment, Luo Ziyang and Li Xiaoqing appeared with their men and stood in front of the commoners.
When the official saw Luo Ziyang appear, his expression immediately turned solemn.
“Luo Ziyang, Mr. Luo and Ling Heng colluded with outsiders and betrayed the government. I was ordered to capture you guys today! If you know what’s good for you, you should surrender!”
When Luo Ziyang heard this, he sneered.
“You want to capture me? What a joke! My brother won’t collude with external enemies, let alone betray the government. On the other hand, Mr. Fu poisoned the late emperor and killed the late emperor’s sons in order to ascend the throne. Do you think he can really take what he stole for himself? I advise you to leave with your men! Otherwise, when the situation in the capital changes, you’ll regret it!”
When the official heard Luo Ziyang’s words, he hesitated.
“I’m afraid you haven’t received the news yet, right? A few generals under the
Eldest Princess have already declared war on Mr. Fu! Back then, the Eldest Princess pretended that she wanted to protect the late emperor, but she actually tricked them. By the time they realized that something was wrong, Mr. Fu had already killed the late emperor and his sons. Only the Third Prince, Ling Heng, and Mr. Luo survived. In order to eliminate the root of the problem, Mr. Fu pinned false crimes on the Third Prince and Mr. Luo. If you don’t know, go to the capital and ask about the truth!” Luo Ziyang said when he saw that the other party had wavered again.
At that moment, a figure ran over from afar.
“The Third Prince, Ling Heng, and Mr. Zhennan have already rushed out of the capital with a 100,000-strong army and surrounded it!”
The official no longer hesitated and immediately left with his men.
After confirming that they had left, Luo Ziyang heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you for protecting us today. When Mr. Luo and the consort return safely, we’ll thank everyone again! Please don’t panic now and go back to do your own things!”
With that, Luo Ziyang and Li Xiaoqing bowed to everyone to thank them!
The commoners waved their hands to indicate that there was no need. Then, they returned to their seats.
The other commoners who rushed over to help also left one by one. The crisis was revolved because everyone worked together.
At the same time, Luo Han experienced trouble at the food street..
