Chapter 93: The lives of civilians?
Just in Sreta, I was strolling around the courtyard garden, admiring the flowers and trees in the garden. As winter approached, the flowers were not in good condition now, especially when it rained heavily last night.
Originally, she had always wanted to take a good look at this place with Xu Mu and Ailu, but now she thought about it, it seemed that the three of them were busy all the time, and there was no reason to stop moving forward. Even after a little rest, the three of them had no chance to enjoy the garden scenery at home together.
After waiting for a while, a guard finally brought the news back.
"Little Master, we just came back from the preliminary information. After asking a few street civilians, it seems that this strike was caused by dissatisfaction with the etiquette officer."
Sreta glanced slightly and didn't reply immediately. The incident happened last night was only known by a few people, and it was normal for these guards to be unclear.
"Is there any more?"
"And... it's not particularly certain. It seems that everyone's dissatisfaction with the etiquette officer is because the etiquette officer took away a street vendor girl in Nancheng District a year ago and then treated the girl as a mistress. It seems that the etiquette officer had hidden something about that incident a year ago. The girl was unwilling to enter the etiquette official's house before. The reason for this is that she has fallen in love with a boy from the same street... But I heard that the etiquette officer forced them to separate and killed both the boys... So the outbreak of this incident made the civilians' dissatisfaction and resentment towards the etiquette officer reach the outbreak point, and then the strike march today took place."
Sreta was delighted, but his face remained unchanged and he remained calm.
Now that things have been confirmed, the cause of the civilian strike march has been determined to be related to the story she wrote.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t expect that just a compiled story could control the minds of civilians to such an extent.
Originally, the civilians in the capital in the song incident were like burning fires, and Sreta did not deliberately control them, but threw more firewood and oil into the fire. Unexpectedly, the fire exploded in one day.
The guards didn't dare to make a promise: "Of course, this matter was just a preliminary inquiry, and the news was not completely confirmed... However, several guards had already entered the ranks of strikes and parades in order to obtain the most authentic information."
“What about the parade route?”
"The final point is Beicheng District, but it is not certain whether it is the doorstep of the etiquette officer's house or the palace gate..."
Sreta nodded and waved his hand to let the guard leave.
After the guard left, Sreta turned his head and looked at Bereth and ordered: "Prepare the carriage, let's set off."
Bereth was stunned: "Set out? Where are we going, little master?"
"Go to the etiquette official."
......
It is said that he went to the etiquette official's house, but in fact he was at the corner near the etiquette official's house.
The ornate carriage was parked in a secret corner, and Sreta sat in the carriage, lifting up the curtains to see all the movements at the etiquette officer's door clearly.
Not only Sreta and Bereth, but also Erlan is among them.
Erlan and Beres are both followers in the family, and this is just to balance people's hearts.
The distribution pattern of the entourage at home is still unclear. If Bereth knew what he knew and Erlan didn't know, Erlan would not be able to feel bad in his heart. Sreta considers human nature extremely important, so he brought Erlan with him.
Bereth didn't change much, and he still said carelessly: "Little Master, why did you come to the door of the etiquette officer?"
Erlan sat very well, but listened to Sreta and Bereth without saying a word. After she knew the content of the letter Xu Mu wrote, she was not surprised that Sreta would attack the etiquette officer at all, but she did not expect that today's civilian strike was caused by her little master.
Sometimes when Erlan pondered deeply, the more she felt Sreta was extremely terrifying.
That's how young you are. What will you become if you grow up?
Sreta looked out the window, his eyes were very cold, and he didn't even look back: "This is guessing, guessing that the final point of the civilian parade is the etiquette official."
Bereth blinked: "Is this...is there any difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. If the civilians did not come to the etiquette officer, but went to the Heine Palace Queen to condemn the etiquette officer, then this matter would be over, and I would not need me."
"What if they come to the etiquette official family?"
Sreta did not immediately answer Bereth's question, but said in another way: "For civilians, going to the Heine Palace to condemn the etiquette officer is the most correct choice. Because Her Majesty the Queen will not punish her people. Even if this parade is extremely unruly, as long as the civilians are cleaner and do not have direct conflicts with the court, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely stand on the side of the people of his capital. And the etiquette officer is dismissed and there is no need to worry too much."
Erlan also understood some of her thoughts by Sreta's side, and couldn't help but smile: "The little master thinks that the civilians are likely to come to the etiquette official family to make noise, right?"
Sretta nodded: "Yes. If you are alone, you still have reason. But a group of people gathered together, and everyone was full of anger. Moreover, the constant stirring while walking, these civilians may not have much reason. Therefore, it is extremely likely that they will come to the door of the etiquette officer to cause trouble."
Bereth raided his head: "But... even if the civilians gather at the door of the etiquette officer to cause trouble, what does it have to do with us? No matter what, I believe that Her Majesty the Queen will handle this matter well, and the position of the etiquette officer will definitely be out of order!"
Erlan said: "The little master is afraid of conflicts between civilians and etiquette officials, and then fear of casualties among civilians, right?"
Bereth was stunned when she heard this. She had been to the battlefield several times. Although she valued life, she felt that human life was just like this.
Especially she couldn't figure out, would Sreta really worry about the lives of the civilians? In the eyes of their followers and servants, Sreta has always been a cold, ruthless, harsh and majestic image. It was really difficult for her to combine Sreta, who was worried about the lives of the civilians with the irritable little master in her family.
However, Sreta nodded: "Yes, I don't want civilians to suffer casualties. When civilians go to the palace to see the palace guards, they will calm down. But when they come to the door of the etiquette officer, how can they calm down?"
Bereth was silent for a long time, his face turned red, and he couldn't help asking: "Little Master... Are you really worried about the lives of those civilians?"
Sreta lowered the curtain and turned his head, looked at Bereth and was stunned, then laughed out loud: "Of course not. What does the life and death of the civilians have to do with me? Although I did the control behind this matter, I didn't let them hit their heads on the blade. It's just... for this family."
Sreta's words are contradictory, not only Bereth can't figure it out, but now even Erlan can't understand it.
Erlan tends to believe that Sreta is worried about the lives of civilians, while Bereth really thinks that Sreta doesn't care about the lives of civilians.
But they couldn't see what Sreta thought and did it now, so they had to wait and see it.
