What a Super Corrupted Official!
Yizhou City.
Xuanwu Road.
This was the most prosperous street in Yizhou. Every inch of land here was worth an inch of gold. Moreover, the residence of the most powerful magistrate of Yizhou, Member Yang, was also located here.
Member Yang had been the magistrate of Yizhou for fifteen years and had become the local emperor of Yizhou.
He was extremely harsh to the commoners, but he was extremely extravagant to himself. From his resplendent mansion that was comparable to a palace, one could see how rich he was.
At this moment, on Xuanwu Road, there was a group of people heading towards Member Yang's mansion.
The person at the front of the group was wearing a python robe. He had a noble and dignified aura.
As he walked forward, his gaze swept across the reverent citizens.
The commoners of Yizhou City, even those who lived on the busiest streets, were all very thin and weak. They wore coarse linen clothes, and as they looked at the advancing soldiers, their expressions were filled with fear.
"Commander Han, are the people of Yizhou born so thin and weak? Moreover, I haven't seen a single luxuriously dressed person for so long. Are there no rich people in Yizhou City?”Li Ke asked the commander of the prefecture soldiers.
When Han Lincheng heard this, he could not help but hesitate.
Seeing this, Li Ke said directly," Just say what you have to say. This Prince has just taken office, so there are many things that I don't know. Just say it."”
Han Lincheng thought for a moment and finally gritted his teeth."Your Highness, the people of Yizhou City were originally very strong. However, ever since Lord Yang took office, taxes have skyrocketed. Every family's annual harvest is not enough for them to buy food for a year, so…it has become like this.”
"Moreover, it's not that there are no rich people in Yizhou City. It's just that these rich people don't dare to reveal their wealth at this time. Otherwise, if Lord Yang finds out, he will definitely use all kinds of methods to make them contribute their wealth. If they don't listen, they will confiscate and exterminate their families.”
When Li Ke heard Han Lincheng's words, his expression instantly turned cold.
He had thought that Member Yang would prey on the commoners, but he didn't expect him to do this!
"This is no longer stealing, but robbing openly!”
"Don't these commoners and wealthy merchants know how to report this to the imperial court?" Li Ke gritted his teeth and said.”
Han Lincheng shook his head with a bitter smile and said,"Shu Road is difficult, but it's harder than ascending to the sky! It was extremely difficult to get out, and Lord Yang…in order to prevent such a thing from happening, Member Yang had specially sent people to intercept the ferry crossing. Once the citizens were discovered, they would be beaten to death. Over time, no one dared to disobey Member Yang!”
"Beast! Bastard! That member Yang deserved to die!”
Li Ke's expression was gloomy, as if water was about to drip out. His entire body was filled with killing intent. Even Han Lincheng felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped. He could not help but tighten his clothes, not daring to say another word.
Originally, Li Ke was still a little worried that he would not have any evidence to punish Member Yang like this.
If the people above Member Yang were to find trouble with him, it would also put him in a difficult position.
But now, he only hated himself for not killing Member Yang with his own hands. It would be a waste of air to spare a second for such a person!
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
Han Lincheng suddenly said.
Li Ke looked up. Opposite them, a huge, resplendent mansion stood there.
There were two stone lions in front of the mansion. These two stone lions were covered in gold paint. Under the sunlight, they flickered with a dazzling golden light. How could one describe them as extravagant?
"It's really magnificent. Even the imperial palace can't be more magnificent, right?”
Li Ke's expression was extremely cold. He said,"Commander Han, send troops to seal off the surroundings. If anyone escapes from this residence, capture them for me. If anyone dares to resist, kill them on the spot!”
"Yes, this general will obey!"
Han Lincheng immediately gave an order to his subordinates. Then, 200 prefecture soldiers ran to both sides and sealed off the mansion.
"Your Highness, this general will go and call the door now!”
Han Lincheng got off his horse and was about to call the door.
At this moment, Li Ke said coldly,""What door? We're here to raid our houses, so why should we be polite with them? Break open the door and confiscate the house!”
When Han Lincheng heard this, he was stunned at first. In the next moment, he revealed a cold smile and narrowed his eyes."I accept your orders!"
He gave a few of his subordinates a look, and then these soldiers brought a thick piece of wood from who knew where. They shouted and directly slammed into the door of the mansion.
Boom!
Boom!
Loud sounds rang out continuously as the red door instantly shook. At the same time, dust continuously scattered.
When the surrounding commoners saw this scene, they all gathered around curiously.
"What are you doing?"
"Why would anyone dare to knock on a vampire's door?”
"Do you want to die?"
"What happened?"
"Who's that rider? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Commander Han seems to be very obedient to him. Could he be from the Imperial Court?”
"Breaking into the vampire's door. Is the imperial court going to punish this vampire?”
" This…really?!"
"It would be great if it's true. The heavens have eyes!”
"Yeah, the heavens have eyes!"
The commoners were speculating from afar. Although they didn't know Li Ke's identity, they knew that member Yang was in trouble.
Usually, they were bullied by Member Yang very badly. Many of their relatives had died in the hands of Member Yang. If Member Yang could really be executed, then it would really be a blessing for them...
