Chapter 1519: The Lin Family Sued!
However, he had other thoughts.
It was obvious that this group of people had deliberately intercepted them at this time to lodge a complaint. Moreover, their target was very clear as they knelt in front of him.
However, he didn"t know if they had come on their own or if someone had instructed them to come. He didn"t know if they knew his ident.i.ty as the Crown Prince.
If they knew, it would mean that this group of commoners was too bold.
Weren"t ordinary people terrified when they saw the royal family?
But no matter what the reason was, he couldn"t let these people ruin the wine-tasting banquet held by the princess of Guguo, and they couldn"t let the other four countries laugh at them under such circ.u.mstances.
However, the purpose of these people"s arrival was to ruin Lin Yuelan"s wine-tasting banquet. How could they be so easily obedient and say that they were going to Shuntian Prefecture?
Lin Laosan"s voice was filled with tears and despair as he said," Sir, the person who wronged us is of high status. How could we not want to go to Shuntian Prefecture and ask the magistrate to seek justice for us? However, every time we go, we are blocked outside. We can"t enter at all."
When the Crown Prince heard this, he frowned and said suspiciously," How is that possible? Shuntian Prefecture Magistrate Shi is upright and has always loved the people like his own children. How could he possibly stop you outside? Old man, did you make a mistake?"
Then, he thought for a while and said," Old man, how about this? This... This lord will arrange for people to bring you over. Once they see this lord"s people, I believe that Shuntian Prefecture Magistrate won"t dare to stop you outside."
Lin Laosan, Li Cuihua, and the others were stunned.
This was completely inconsistent with what that person had said.
What should they do now?
Immediately, cold sweat trickled down their foreheads.
Right at this moment…
" Your Highness," a clear and melodious voice rang out. The two of them looked over and realized that it was a woman wearing a veil.
Xiao Jingyu walked up to the Crown Prince and said," Since these commoners have a request, why don"t we listen? Let"s see which powerful person blocked these complaints. This princess is very curious. Otherwise, people who didn"t know would think that the Crown Prince was covering up for that person. Don"t you think so?"
Seeing Princess Linglong of the Black Cloud Kingdom stop him, the Crown Prince"s expression changed slightly. He was a little unhappy.
However, Princess Linglong of the Black Clouds Kingdom had already suggested that it would not be good for him to send them to the Shuntian Prefect.
Therefore, he could only stop and listen to what grievances these people had. Who was the so-called powerful person?
However, before he could ask…
"It"s Lin Yuelan!" Lin Yuelan almost shouted," This person with high status and power is Lin Yuelan!"
"That"s right. Lin Yuelan climbed up a high branch and became the princess of Gu Country. She doesn"t care about us, her biological parents!" Li Cuihua immediately echoed.
Lin Yuelan?
Wasn"t Lin Yuelan the princess of Gu Kingdom?
In other words, these dishevelled people kneeling in front of the diplomatic corps of the four countries were the relatives of the princess of Guguo?
However, this…
Wasn"t the difference too great?
However, no one seemed to have expected this.
It was the first time that the princess of Guguo held a banquet in the capital, and her relatives came to cause trouble.
"Milords, you have to help us!" Li Cuihua"s sharp voice sounded again in the silent hall. She kowtowed loudly, and the group of people behind her also kowtowed loudly. "Milord, we don"t ask for riches. We only ask for Princess Gu to give us a way out!"
This time, other than Lin Laosan and Li Cuihua, there was a large group of people following behind them. There were sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. There were also some villagers from Lin Family Village. There were at least 30 to 40 people.
So many people were now kneeling down and begging the Crown Prince to give them justice!
Such a scene simply stunned everyone inside and outside the venue.
Were these people here to sue Princess Guguo? Moreover, the person who sued her was her so-called family.
" Sir, we, her relatives, have worked hard to raise her up. We have provided her with good food and clothing since she was young. I didn"t expect that after she got close to the Great General, she would think that we, her poor relatives, would drag her down and embarra.s.s her. Therefore, she used her power to oppress us and forbade us from acknowledging her.
"Forget it. She forced us to die, my lord.
"We remember how kind and affectionate she was before she was nine years old.
"When she was nine years old, she encountered a Daoist Priest. The priest said she was a jinx who would harm her family.
"At that time, she was kind and afraid of harming us, so she took the initiative to ask us to chase her out of the house and remove her name from the family tree.
"We couldn"t bear to let her suffer on her own, but she begged us bitterly. In the end…"
