After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 201 We Have Never Treated Anyone Harshly

With Chu Xi's tough tone and methods in front of them, even if there are still people who are dissatisfied, they dare not easily "seek death".

Chu Xi glanced at the people who had made the most noise before, and saw that they were the ones who made the most noise, and they were also the first to calm down!

Human nature is selfish. There is nothing to despise. Everyone wants to survive!

But if a person only thinks about himself and wants others to revolve around him and risk their lives for him, then... it cannot be summed up by the word selfish!

Now that the troublemakers have stopped making trouble, the other people who were ready to make trouble naturally dare not to do so anymore.

Normally, this teenager, who seems to be the easiest to bully and is not even 15 years old, can be quite scary when he gets angry.

At least for ordinary people, they dare not easily challenge what Chu Xi said!

Chu Xi turned around and walked towards his dining table, continuing to eat the wild vegetable porridge that he had not finished yet.

Sitting next to her were Zhou Yichen and Rong Qingzhu. Since they came to Xi'an City, they had never participated in any decision made by Chu Xi.

The disappointment in Rong Qingzhu's heart was about to overflow from his eyes. He drank the porridge very slowly with a heavy heart.

Zhou Yichen...has long been accustomed to it. What happened in Yunzhou last time was enough to make him see how ugly human nature can be in the face of disaster?

Therefore, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

The porridge I drank tonight...it's not really porridge, it's simply "rice porridge". After eating a bowl of porridge, I couldn't see many grains of rice, but there was a lot of water!

Seeing that there was no hope of getting down the mountain, these people started to complain that the porridge didn't taste good!

A boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing dark blue brocade clothes, vented all his dissatisfaction and anger on the porridge.

He deliberately said loudly, "Pah, pah, pah! What the hell is this! None of our servants eat this kind of pig food. I don't know who cooked this!"

As soon as he said this, the young masters, ladies and young ladies nearby, who were used to eating good food, found it even more difficult to conceal the disgust and contempt on their faces!

"That's right! Did you deliberately withhold the food so that we can drink this stuff?"

"This is not porridge at all, it's clearly just a bowl of water, and I only saw a few grains of rice in it! Even my dog ​​wouldn't eat such poor food."

Bian Hangqing almost couldn't control his temper and pinched his fingers subconsciously. The creaking sound of his finger joints was drowned out by the noisy voices of these people!

"We must tell General Han about this and let him know that you all embezzled money!"

Of course, as they talked, they felt that... there was some truth to it. Otherwise, why would the food be getting worse day by day?

Besides, they always thought that Chu Xi and his friends must eat better than them, even though Chu Xi always ate with them and didn't get any special treatment, they still felt...

With Chu Xi's official position, he didn't need to give any orders, someone would prepare another meal for him!

Now sitting here with them and drinking porridge together is just a superficial effort!

The troublemakers were still those troublemakers. Because Chu Xi didn't let them go down the mountain, they lost face and started to make trouble on purpose.

Chu Xi did not say anything in the face of their accusations, but just glanced at them coldly, as if he was looking at a group of desperate clowns.

Zhou Yichen frowned slightly. Compared with the people in Yunzhou, these people were obviously more difficult to deal with. All they said was that he had treated them unfairly and enriched himself!

Those who didn't know the truth thought Qi Bai really did it, but he knew Qi Bai, and no matter whether others would do so or not, he would never do so!

Rong Qingzhu couldn't stand it any longer. He was usually a quiet person, but today he stood up and said in a serious tone, "You say that... General Chu, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, you should be punished for slandering an official of the imperial court!"

He finally understood why Qi Bai said that when necessary, tough measures were needed to intimidate everyone.

Not to mention those who were deliberately making trouble, even those seemingly honest and quiet people, after hearing these words that were intended to discredit him, became shaken and doubtful!

Don’t they have the ability to distinguish?

How could Qi Bai do this?

When have these tender and delicate young masters ever tasted the pain of being beaten with a stick? Besides, when Rong Qingzhu frowned, he still looked very majestic.

When they were looked at by Rong Qingzhu, they subconsciously shrank their necks, and the words they had vowed to say before were suddenly stuck.

"We were so hasty in evacuating the city that you almost all only brought clothes and bedding. How many of you remembered to bring food? You said we embezzled food. If the deputy general hadn't made preparations in advance, you would have died in the city long ago!"

Bian Hangqing couldn't stand their slanderous words about embezzlement and corruption, so after Rong Qingzhu started it, he could no longer tolerate it.

He said everything he wanted to say at once.

"Some of you want to go down the mountain, some want to fish in troubled waters, and some want to start a war. I don't care what you think. Anyway, we all have the same food today. Eat if you want to, and you'll starve if you don't want to!"

"We have never treated anyone harshly. We eat the same food as you. You have seen it all these days! I think as long as we have a clear conscience, we will be able to tell right from wrong!"

"You only know how to say that we embezzled food, but as a member of the Great Zhou, in the face of the flood, some of you clearly have food, but you would rather hide it than give it out to help everyone tide over the difficulties!"

After hearing what Bian Hangqing said, many people who still had a conscience lowered their heads with embarrassment and shame on their faces. It was obvious that what Bian Hangqing said had woken them up.

Seeing that Bian Hangqing's words had taken effect, Chu Xi didn't say much, but just said a few cold words in closing.

"If anyone shows up again to stir up trouble, regardless of their purpose, regardless of gender, age or status, they will be punished with ten military sticks! They will all be charged with stirring up trouble for the army and colluding with the enemy and committing treason, and will be executed immediately."

Her voice was accompanied by the cool evening breeze from the mountains. Her clear and clean voice seemed to carry a silent chill, and everyone dared not say anything more after hearing it.

After dinner, Chu Xi and his friends returned to the tent as usual.

Chu Er followed behind him. Chu Xi thought for a moment, then stopped and turned his head to give instructions before entering the tent.

"Keep a close eye on them. If anyone makes trouble again, punish them according to the laws of the Great Zhou. We must not let one or two bad apples spoil the whole bunch!"

As for...the assassins, she believed that they would never let go of this last good opportunity easily, so there was no need to explain it specifically.

as predicted.

Only an hour later, the sound of ping-pong was heard again outside. The sound of weapons colliding was too familiar.

However, before Chu Xi could get up and go outside, Rong Qingzhu, who was sitting opposite him with a book in his hand, pressed his knees.

"Don't go out today. Your injury hasn't healed yet."
