Chapter 1307 Now, I will use your life to repay them
The night was deep.
The street outside the courtyard was still very lively.
The sick were making noise, the healthy villagers were making noise, the guards were busy helping, and the temporarily formed medical team was also busy.
Because it was too noisy and chaotic, even the sick could not rest well.
No one expected that under such circumstances, something would happen to the royal entourage.
Someone grabbed Chu Minghao and pushed him to the ground.
"Chu Qianli!"
Chu Minghao had been dragged out of bed and was still wearing his robe.
He considered his martial arts to be not weak, yet he never expected to not last ten moves under Chu Qianli!
When did this bitch's martial arts become so good?
But this was not the key. The key was, in the middle of the night, she didn't even give him time to get dressed and directly dragged him here. What did she mean?
"I ask you, today, was a villager named Arno burned to death?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately quieted down. They clenched their fists, daring to be angry but not to speak.
However, their anger was instantly ignited.
Arno was burned alive, and many people had seen it.
Tonight, some villagers fled precisely because of this reason!
Everyone was angry, but also desperate and fearful, most afraid that they would be the next to be burned alive.
"Chu Minghao, tell everyone honestly, did you order him to be burned?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Minghao straightened his body, glaring at Chu Qianli, who stood in the wind.
Gui Tong wanted to go forward but was stopped by Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu was a general personally selected by Fu Long, and his martial arts were so high that few people here could match him.
Gui Tong knew he couldn't defeat him and didn't dare to act rashly for the moment.
Chu Minghao said displeasedly, "This Prince was burning the corpses of the sick. I was just afraid that the corpses carried diseases that would harm the common people. Is that also wrong?"
He looked unconvinced and even more self-righteous: "Didn't you also order Second Uncle to go to Baijing Village and order all the corpses in Baijing Village to be burned?"
"Why can you do it, but this Prince cannot? Chu Qianli, you are too selfish and self-righteous!"
"No, Arno was still alive. Arno wasn't dead at that time!"
A villager complained in a low voice, "Arno was burned to death by you..."
"That's right, I saw it too. I also saw Arno's hand raise up. He must have wanted to call for help."
"Yes, I saw it too."
"I saw it too."
Finally, the surrounding common people, who had been busy, became furious and could no longer tolerate it.
"That's right! Arno was burned to death! He was harmed by you before he even died!"
"Arno was burned to death while he was still alive!"
"Return Arno's life!"
"Return it!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Go back! All of you, go back! Don't come over!"
Seeing the villagers about to surge forward, Chu Minghao's face changed in fear, and he quickly tried to dodge.
"Get lost! All of you get lost! You are poisoned! Don't think of harming this Prince! Get lost! Get lost! Mr. Lan, Mr. Lan, save this Prince quickly..."
Lan Fan, who had heard the commotion, turned and left upon seeing this.
Rulers could scheme for power and engage in internal strife, but they must not incite public outrage.
Once the hearts of the people are lost, it is difficult to maintain power!
This Chu Minghao is truly a piece of trash!
Seeing that even Lan Fan was unwilling to help, Chu Minghao hardened his heart, suddenly leaped up, and struck Chu Qianli with a palm.
"I ordered the burning of the corpses because I followed your command! All of this is your fault! Now, I will use your life to repay them!"
