Rao Dacang had caused a lot of resentment in Bingzhou over the past few years, so there were naturally many people who wanted to kill him.
Now that the government was clear, as long as she took a few steps out, she would understand right and wrong.
Li Jian was doing it willingly. He flew over and didn't force her.
Just as he was about to rest, the chief historian, Luo Fuhua, walked in nervously.
"Your Highness."
"Guardian Luo, look at how flustered you are. Did something happen?”Li Jian asked.
"Your Highness, there's news that the rioters in Kuang County are rioting. They're in the midst of farming. After farming, they beat up the county magistrate. Now, they've already occupied the county office and are in chaos!”Luo Fuhua said hurriedly.
Kuang County's Jiaonong?
Li Jian thought for a moment. Kuang County was 200 miles away from Bingzhou.
As for Jiaonong, Jiaonong meant that the farmers rebelled against the government and handed over their farming tools to the government. It meant that they wanted to quit.
Riot?
That was Jiaonong's next step, to fight against the government.
Things like JiaoNong had happened many times in the previous dynasty. Yang Guang had levied exorbitant taxes and caused a civil revolt. JiaoNong had happened one after another.
But now that it was peaceful and prosperous, how could such a thing happen?
There must be something fishy about this!
Kuang County was deep in the mountains. The riots there were not ordinary riots because the sky was high and the emperor was far away.
If it was a normal riot, the county government would be able to handle it. However, this time, the news had already spread to Bingzhou. It must be very serious.
"Your Highness, there are some rioters from Kuang County who have already arrived at Bingzhou City. Should they all be arrested? Please tell me, Your Highness." Luo Fuhua said nervously.
Suppressing the rioters was logical, but Li Jian waved his hand to stop Luo Fuhua. Instead, he said slowly,"
"Don't act rashly, Minister Luo. There must be a reason behind the uprising. If we can live on, no one will rebel.”
"How about this, find someone to find those troublemakers. His Highness wants to question them personally.”
Luo Fuhua couldn't help but say excitedly,""Your Highness, those are unruly people. I'm afraid they will harm Your Highness.”
"You don't have to say anymore. Go." Li Jian waved his hand.
Luo Fuhua saw Li Jian's firm attitude and knew the severity of the matter. He didn't dare to hesitate and left quickly.
Early the next morning.
The door of the Provincial Governor's Office opened. Li Jian sat in the main hall.
On the left was the head of the guards, Xu Feng, and on the right was Luo Binwang. When the commoners rushed in, Li Jian was shocked. The person walking in front was the female assassin from yesterday.
She had already changed into a man's outfit and looked very neat.
Li Jian was clear about the women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty. There were three types: narrow-sleeved shirts, Hu clothes, and men's clothes.
Her appearance surprised Li Jian.
There were indeed a lot of rioters, more than a hundred of them. The Provincial Governor's Office was packed to the brim.
He thought that these " rioters " who didn't know the truth would shout. However, they all knelt down when they saw Li Jian."Your Highness, please uphold justice for us commoners!”
The female assassin also knelt down.
Li Jian was instantly moved. It was obvious that they weren't rioters. They had some grievances. Hence, he said loudly,"
"All of you, stand up and speak. If you have any grievances or grievances, tell this king. This king will definitely deal with them impartially.”
Hearing Li Jian's words, no one stood up. However, the female assassin stood up under Li Jian's encouraging gaze and said,""Your Highness, I have offended you yesterday. Please forgive me.”
"It's fine. Let's get down to business." Li Jian said nonchalantly.
"Thank you, Your Highness. My name is Xiao Qingran, and I am from Houxi Village in Kuang County. It was my fault for assassinating Your Highness last night. I did not know that the weather in Bing Province had changed and thought that it was Rao Dacang, that dog official.”
"Old thief Rao Dacang's lackey, Kuang County Magistrate Rao Qinghe, raped the commoners, bullied them, and stole dozens of women. He even had an affair with the Tuyuhun people, collecting exorbitant taxes in exchange for Tuyuhun horses.”
Li Jian listened quietly. Kuang County was more than 200 miles away from Bingzhou.
These days, they were busy fighting with Xue Yantuo. The county officials under the state had not been cleaned up. Li Jian was deeply shocked by the extent of the people of Bingzhou under Rao Dacang's rule.
"You said that dozens of women were kidnapped by Kuang County Magistrate Rao Qinghe, is this true?”Li Jian asked.
"It's absolutely true, Your Highness. This commoner's sister, Xiao Qinghui, was snatched away by Rao Qinghe. She couldn't bear the humiliation and had already thrown herself into the well.”Xiao Qingran said.
At this moment, under the touch, there were already sobs in the hall.
A man who looked like a scholar walked out and knelt down, crying,"
"Lord Qingtian! Please save us lowly people! Rao Qinghe stole my wife to be his concubine, and she refused to give in. Rao Qinghe's men forcefully stripped her of her clothes, and when the commoner went to reason with her, Rao Qinghe's claws broke her legs. My wife…hit her head against a rock and died, sob…"
"Your Highness, please help us! I beg Your Highness to seek justice for all of us! Your Highness!"
The commoners knelt down in unison to beg and state their grievances.
He looked at this group of people who had no one to rely on and were bullied by the low-level officials into such a miserable state.
Although Li Jian's expression was calm, she was extremely angry. Her killing intent slowly overflowed.
Bang!
Li Jian punched the table. Instantly, the entire table jumped.
Taking a deep breath, Li Jian suppressed her anger and looked at Chief Secretary Luo Fuhua.
"Luo Fuhua, do you know who Rao Qinghe is to Rao Dacang?”
