This King Will Give You Justice!
Li Ke's expression remained calm, but the blood flowing out of his fingers showed that he was extremely angry.
He wasn't this angry even when Member Yang threatened him.
But at this moment, after hearing the words of the commoners, Li Ke felt his head buzz. The killing intent in his body could not be suppressed and scattered outwards.
However, Li Ke did not want to scare these people. They had suffered enough, and their hearts were already on the verge of collapse.
Li Ke really couldn't bear to let them have even the slightest bit of nervousness and fear because of his anger.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the killing intent in his heart. After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the nervous and cautious commoners.
The commoners looked at Li Ke like moths looking at a flame. They were afraid that Li Ke would not be able to help them and that they would become moths to the flame.
However, there was still a trace of hope in his heart.
They really had no other choice. They really couldn't even eat tomorrow morning's food. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come here overnight and disturbed the great lord in their hearts!
"The reinforcement army you are talking about, is it the border guard army that is stationed fifty miles away from Yizhou?”Li Ke looked at the commoners and finally spoke.
Hearing Li Ke's words, the man who had just spoken nodded and said,"That's right, it's them. It's them, these bastards!”
"It's fine if they bully us normally, but who knew that they would even rob us of our survival money and even rob us of our remaining food.”
"Is it really them?"
Li Ke received a positive answer from the commoners. His gaze was cold and murderous.
Because Yizhou was adjacent to Tubo and Tuyuhun, it was an important part of the Tang border defense line. In order to protect the safety of this area and supervise the two countries, there was an army stationed there.
And this army was the reinforcement army!
Similarly, this reinforcement army…was also the army that Li Ke was prepared to hand over to Xue Rengui tomorrow!
Previously, the commander of the Yi Army was called Chen Feng. He was the number one lackey of Member Yang, the general who had sneakily attacked Li Ke. In the end, he was killed by Li Ke with a single palm strike.
Therefore, this reinforcement army was in a state of being leaderless. Li Ke was worried that without a leader, they would have problems.
He did not expect the problem to be so serious!
It was actually…serious enough to go to the village and openly snatch money and food!
Moreover, the commoners did not give it to him. He even beat them up and broke their legs. They were still unconscious!
What kind of behavior was this?
These were bandits!
Even some conscientious bandits wouldn't be like them!
"As expected, this king shouldn't have hoped that there would be a good person in the army led by Chen Feng!”
Li Ke's voice was practically spat out from between his teeth.
He saw the people looking at him nervously and hopefully. Seeing that these people were trembling and their faces were pale, he thought for a moment and said,"Don't worry, this king will make the decision for you!”
"However, since you're traveling through the night, the mountain path is steep and dangerous. Why don't you rest here for the night? Tomorrow morning, this king will follow you and seek justice for you!”
Hearing Li Ke's words, the citizens 'originally nervous eyes instantly lit up.
They hurriedly knelt down to Li Ke and kept saying things like "Thank you, Lord Qingtian".
Li Ke continued," Men, order the kitchen to prepare meals to entertain the villagers. At the same time, prepare 500 catties of rice and 500 catties of wheat. Send them to Yang Family Village tomorrow morning for the villagers to eat."”
When the villagers heard Li Ke's words, they were all overjoyed. Even the trembling Uncle Yang kowtowed to Li Ke.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
"The adults are our parents!”
"Thank you, sir!"
The commoners all thanked Li Ke, and many of them were in tears.
It had been more than ten years, and this was the first time they felt warmth from the government. For the first time…they felt the feeling of being loved.
Li Ke stood up from the main seat and helped Uncle Yang and the others up. He said,"My fellow villagers, I've really made you suffer. I know that no words can make up for the Imperial Court's apology to you!”
"However, I still hope that you can believe that the Imperial Court sincerely wants to give you a happy life. I also hope that you can believe that your lives will definitely get better!”
"Now, you guys go and eat some hot food. Tomorrow, I'll help you get justice!”
After saying that, he let his personal guards bring these grateful commoners away.
Looking at the weak backs of the commoners and their thin bodies, Li Ke's heart ached faintly.
Sage King Li Ke, the word 'Sage' was not a casual title, but Li Ke truly cared about the people.
That was why when he saw the people under his rule suffering so much, his heart was really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, the butler in charge of the Governor's Office walked over with a troubled expression and said, Your Highness, we don't have much food in our manor. If…if we give the villagers so much, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive this year…"
The butler was in a difficult position. He knew that it was a good thing for the King of Shu to contribute food to the people, but now Yizhou was short of food. They could not even feed themselves.
When Li Ke heard this, he also knew that the butler was in a difficult position. However, there were some things that he should do and not do.
As the Governor of Yizhou, he had to do these things.
However…
Li Ke frowned slightly, his head hurting. However, in the next moment, Li Ke suddenly remembered what he had seen in the system store, and his consciousness sank into the system.
In just a moment, Li Ke's horns directly perked up.
"Do as I say. Food…will no longer be a problem in Yizhou!" he said.”
