Chapter 554 Domestic Violence

Although the court issued an announcement that Xu Guozhong was plotting rebellion and usurping the throne, and launched a mutiny, Lu Sheng killed Xu Guozhong in order to stop him.

But anyone who knows the details knows that Xu Guozhong and Lu Sheng were not on good terms, fighting among themselves, and the former was one step behind and ended up dead.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The King of Huai sent troops to overthrow Xu Guozhong. Now Lu Sheng killed Xu Guozhong and came to power. In addition, given the current situation, it is entirely possible for them to cooperate.

King Chong said: "That's true, but can Lu Sheng trust us? After all, we surrounded him at that time."

"Your Highness, there is no acquaintance without fighting, and there is no blood feud between us and Lu Sheng. There was before, because Lu Sheng killed the brother of Huai Wang's wife Xiao Yunxi." Gongsun Yan quickly changed his words, then looked at Huai Wang, saw the latter's face sank, and quickly finished the rest of the words:

"But now Xiao Yunxi has divorced Huai Wang, and even the Xiao family has surrendered to Chen Mo. Huai Wang has cut off his involvement with the Xiao family. The hatred involved has actually been transferred to Chen Mo."

"General Gongsun is right. Now Xiao Yunxi has become Chen Mo's concubine, so Xiao Yunxi's brother is his brother. Lu Sheng and Chen Mo can't get along. In this way, we have a common enemy and it is entirely possible to unite." Liang Song said.

The scar was exposed again, and the heart of the prince of Huai sank slightly. He wanted to get angry with Gongsun Yan, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. The prince of Huai could only hold back and keep the humiliation in his heart.

In the palace of the prince of Huai.

In the wing room of the backyard, Madam Hui was dressed in a gorgeous dress, and the golden hairpin on her hair was shining. At this moment, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at a beautiful and gorgeous face in the bronze mirror. Madam Hui couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the corner of her mouth, only to see a purple and blue at the corner of her mouth, as if there was a flaw on a beautiful painting.

This purple and blue was caused by the prince of Huai.

Since Madam Xiao betrayed the prince of Huai, the latter would beat Madam Hui and Madam Gan to vent his anger whenever he was in a bad mood.

And last time, Madam Hui was slapped by the prince of Huai.

Madam Hui looked at the purple and blue at the corner of her mouth, frowned, and took out the powder to cover it.

After several layers of it were spread and it was difficult to see, Madam Hui got up and went out.

In Chongzhou, Madam Hui still had some madam friends. At this moment, she was invited by her friends to go out for fun.

But just when she was about to go out, she ran into Prince Huai who had just returned.

Madam Hui was startled. When she found that Prince Huai's face was not right and he seemed to be in a bad mood, her heart sank: "Prince, you are back?"

And her frightened look was immediately regarded by Prince Huai as a sign of guilt. He immediately said coldly with a cold face: "Are you going out?"

After arriving in Chongzhou, Prince Huai did not continue to imprison Madam Hui to avoid gossip from others, but this also made Prince Huai, who had been betrayed repeatedly, more suspicious, even to the point of psychological distortion.

"Well, Madam Song invited me to go out for spring." Madam Song mentioned by Madam Hui was a concubine of Prince Chong.

"Madam Song." Prince Huai snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "You are dressed so solemnly. I think you are not going to accompany Madam Song to go out for spring, but to meet a pretty boy. What, are you going to betray me too?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't." Madam Hui's face changed drastically.

"No? You are not allowed to go. Prince Huai grabbed Madam Hui's wrist and walked towards the mansion."

"Your Majesty, please go slowly, you are pinching me." Prince Huai was a top-grade warrior. Madam Hui couldn't break free at all. She was dragged to the mansion by him. Because Prince Huai walked too fast, Madam Hui almost fell to the ground.

The servants in the mansion saw this scene and lowered their heads. They dared not breathe. Obviously, they had seen it more than once.

Prince Huai dragged Madam Hui into a room. As the door was closed, Madam Hui's face turned pale and she said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't. Don't."

Before she finished speaking, Prince Huai slapped Madam Hui in the face and knocked her to the ground.

"Bitch, shameless bitch, don't even think about betraying me without my permission." Huai Wang pulled Madam Hui up and slapped her again.

"No, I didn't." Madam Hui was still trying to defend herself.

However, Huai Wang didn't listen at all, because the Li family's betrayal was a fact.

Afterwards, Huai Wang pulled off the gold hairpin on Madam Hui's head and all the jewelry on her body, threw them on the ground, and shouted: "In the future, you can't wear jewelry without my permission, and you are not allowed to go out. You should also wear more clothes for me. If you dare to do it again, I won't forgive you."

After staring at Madam Hui, who was lying on the ground with disheveled hair, blood at the corners of her mouth, and crying constantly, Huai Wang left with a gloomy face.

At this moment, the sun shone from the door on Madam Hui's face, illuminating the purple and blue at the corners of her mouth very clearly. As the door closed, the room became dim, and a group of dark circles could be vaguely seen in the room, just like Madam Hui's sad and numb heart at this moment.

April was just beginning.

Chen Mo and Yue Ruyan led the newly recruited 5,000 soldiers of the Huaizhou Xianzhen Guard, set out from Yi County, and began to take over Fengzhou.

The King of Huai had already led his troops away from Fengzhou, so Chen Mo's takeover process was very smooth at the beginning. Every time he arrived in a county, the local county magistrate would bring a group of clerks and gentry out of the city to welcome him.

At this speed, it stands to reason that Chen Mo could take over the entire Fengzhou in less than a month.

But if it was just as simple as entering the city to take over the city, Chen Mo would not come to Huaizhou in person.

Instead, every time he arrived in a city, Chen Mo would ask people to build a public trial platform in the city to judge local officials, clerks and landlords.

And who among these people should die and who is innocent will be decided by the people in the city.

And every time a public trial platform is built, Chen Mo will personally go on stage to speak.

"I am the Duke of Anguo. Like you, I was born in poverty. Over the years, I have traveled around and seen that the rich have vast fields, while the poor have no place to stand. You work so hard just to have food to eat and keep your family alive, but there are always endless taxes to pay and debts to repay. Even after working hard for a year, you can't eat the rice you planted.

As a last resort, we can only sell the land to the rich and landlords at a low price, and even become their slaves... In order not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, I, Chen Mo, will set up a public trial here. Who deserves to die, who is not guilty of death or innocent people, all will be decided by you below."

And there are no innocent people among these people on public trial.

Chen Mo followed the wishes of the people and killed these guilty people.

This move not only maintained the order and stability of the local area, but also distributed the land in the hands of the landlords to the people after killing them, so that Chen Mo won the hearts of the people.
