Chapter 57 Punishment
Chapter 57 Punishment
As for how she was going to fool Zhao Changyu...
Jiang Wanwan made up her mind and thought that she could make up a reason to lie to Zhao Changyu, saying that she was worried about Jiang Siqi and wanted to go north to see how Jiang Siqi was doing.
However, the baggage and carriages that were stolen by refugees on the road led to this state.
Anyway, the worst outcome would be that she couldn't go find Zhao Zheyong and was sent back to the capital by Zhao Changyu.
Jiang Wanwan is stupid herself, so she thinks others are as stupid as her, and she feels proud of herself for coming up with such an excuse.
She picked up a piece of rag, wrapped her head with it, and walked towards the city gate.
The soldiers at the city gate smelled the disgusting odor on her, frowned and covered their noses with their hands.
They would like to send such homeless people out of the city.
In the future, such ragged people will never be allowed into the city.
The officers and soldiers did not check her appearance carefully and directly released her from Juzhou City.
Jiang Wanwan felt that she was smart for a moment and managed to get away with it in front of the officers and soldiers.
How could she know that Meng Zhi didn't care at all after he found out she had run away.
He had been playing with her for more than a month and was already satisfied.
Besides, Jiang Wanwan has slept with other men before. Could it be that he would really keep Jiang Wanwan and let her cheat on him?
He likes women who don't have to take responsibility after eating the food the most.
Therefore, Meng Zhi never told anyone that Jiang Wanwan had escaped, nor did he send anyone to look for Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan was abused by the beggars in vain.
Jiang Wanwan walked forward following the fire and smoke and found the isolation area not far from the city gate.
Her stomach was growling non-stop and Jiang Wanwan felt dizzy from hunger.
She didn't see Zhao Changyu for a while, so she mixed in with the group of disaster victims and got some porridge at the porridge shed.
She just took a sip and then spit it out with a frown, "What is this? It has no taste at all."
She was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and was totally unable to get used to the plain porridge.
Even though she was extremely hungry, she only drank half a bowl and then put it down.
Jiang Wanwan thought: When she sees Zhao Changyu, he will definitely treat her well. Why should she let herself down by drinking such plain porridge?
She caught a glimpse of Zhao Changyu out of the corner of her eye, and immediately stood up, threw the bowl away, and ran to find him.
The porridge in the bowl was scattered all over the floor. A little boy picked up the bowl that Jiang Wanwan had thrown away and drank the remaining few mouthfuls of porridge into his own stomach.
Nowadays, every meal counts, so how can we afford to waste food?
But Jiang Wanwan was very proud and refused to compromise herself over such trivial matters.
When the accompanying guards saw the dirty Jiang Wanwan rushing towards them, they thought she was an assassin.
Three or five people surrounded Jiang Wanwan and pressed her to the ground with swords.
Jiang Wanwan's face kept rubbing against the ground as she struggled hard.
Suddenly, she had an idea in her mind and shouted, "How dare you! I am Princess Zhaoxi. Who dares to disrespect me?"
Jiang Wanwan dared to act so boldly because she took advantage of the fact that people outside the palace did not know the women in the palace.
Hearing this name, the officers and soldiers who were holding Jiang Wanwan down dared not move. They looked up at Zhao Changyu, waiting for his instructions.
Feng Gou opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect that Jiang Wanwan, such a shameless person, would impersonate Jiang Yunxi and cheat everywhere.
Zhao Changyu's expression darkened.
He and Jiang Yunxi are most familiar with each other, and he would not allow such a worthless person to impersonate Jiang Yunxi.
"She is not Princess Zhaoxi." Zhao Changyu said coldly, "Tie her up and let everyone recognize her face so that no one will be deceived. Also, for impersonating a princess, you will be slapped forty times. Feng Gou, you will carry out the execution."
The officers and soldiers tied Jiang Wanwan to the pillar at the door for public display.
Seeing that Zhao Changyu was really angry, Feng Gou rubbed his palms together, rubbed his fists, and had an evil smile on his face.
Feng Gou, this lackey, naturally wanted to vent Zhao Changyu's anger.
A slap was given.
Jiang Wanwan cried out in pain miserably, "Ah..."
Feng Gou was not a kind-hearted person and he slapped the man without mercy.
A big slap mark immediately appeared on Jiang Wanwan's face.
Jiang Wanwan felt pain, her eyes full of shock, "You dare to hit me?"
She was raised in the palm of Bai Shifu's hand and was rarely scolded. But now she was slapped in the face by a servant?
"Do you know who I am? If I tell my father, he will punish you severely."
Feng Gou was not panicked at all, and still had a smile on his face. "I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know who you are. If you really have an identity, I suggest you keep it to yourself. Now, only these people who are watching you know that you have been tortured. If you tell your name, it will spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, all over Juzhou, and even to the capital. If you want to be famous, just shout it out loud."
Jiang Wanwan naturally didn't dare let people in the capital know that she was in Juzhou.
Those idle and curious people in the capital would certainly explore what she did in Juzhou.
Then, the news that she was bullied by Meng Zhi could no longer be covered up.
Jiang Wanwan bit her lip and weighed the pros and cons for once, and did not announce her identity to the public.
Feng Gou's slaps fell like flowing water.
The crisp sound of slapping, accompanied by shrill screams, fell on the hearts of the onlookers.
It makes people feel scared.
"This woman is too bold, pretending to be a royal relative to get free food and drinks. Princess Zhaoxi is bedridden, how could she leave the capital? This woman is too stupid."
"It seems that the rumor about the cold-faced prince is very credible. My God, the prince is so ruthless to women!"
"Have you ever seen the prince smile in all these days here? I haven't seen it at all..."
……
The victims and soldiers began to whisper to each other, discussing Zhao Changyu in low voices.
Zhao Changyu heard what they said, but he just listened without any reaction, and he was not angry.
Anyway, he had a reputation for being cold-faced, and the people's talk about his cruelty had no effect on him.
But he couldn't let Jiang Wanwan ruin Jiang Yunxi's reputation.
Nor would he indulge Jiang Wanwan and make her feel that no matter what she did, she could blame it on Jiang Yunxi.
The shrill screams outside the isolation area reached the medicine room.
Jiang Yunxi's hands trembled as she was weighing the medicine, and a few platycodon flowers fell out of the scale. "What's going on outside?"
"I guess someone is causing trouble. Maybe His Royal Highness Prince An is punishing those disaster victims who are causing trouble." Zhen Zhen answered casually.
These days, she watched Feng Gou punish those who did not follow the rules one by one, and the quarantine area was now in order and peaceful.
"When I heard this voice, I felt it was somewhat familiar. As if it was someone I know?" Jiang Yunxi frowned, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard this voice.
