"Your Highness, this commoner is wronged, this commoner is wronged!”An old man walked out from the crowd, trembling.
The old man's face was dark. It was obvious that he had not eaten his fill for a long time. His blood circulation was not smooth, and his liver and blood were not nourished.
His hair and beard were all white, and he was holding a willow tree rod that tilted his neck to support his body.
"Old man, if you have any grievances, this king will help you! No matter who bullies you in the world, this king will take care of it to the end!”Li Jian said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the old man was moved and said sadly,"
"Thank you, Your Highness. I am Yu Wencheng from Hundred Flowers Village. I am an old farmer who has been farming for fifty years. Although Kuang County has been plagued by war for decades, I am still barely able to make a living.”
"However, the weather is unpredictable. Last year, County Magistrate Rao Qinghe forcefully bought my family's fertile land at an extremely low price. One mu of land is only worth one wen, but the contract says fifty wen.”
"Of course we didn't agree. If we didn't agree, he would send his soldiers to attack us. This commoner's leg was broken by his soldiers.”
After saying that, the old man revealed a huge scar on his right leg. It was a shocking sight.
After revealing his scar, the old man was already in tears and could not continue speaking.
At this moment, a burly man walked out and continued,"Your Highness, Rao Qing and that bastard not only snatched the farmland, but also the women of the common people. We already have three virgins of Hundred Flowers Village who have yet to be married. Please kill this dog official and seek justice for your people!”
"Your Highness, please help us!”The commoners knelt down together.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. Liu Diwei brought a large group of sorrowful women into the hall.
"Your Highness, these are the women that Rao Qinghe snatched.”
In an instant, the women and their families in the hall were crying.
The scene was so moving that tears began to flow.
"Villagers, you have suffered. This king understands your pain and understands the oppression you have suffered. This king solemnly promises you that I will definitely avenge you today!”
At this moment, Li Jian's hands had already formed into fists. His face was calm, but his heart was filled with anger and killing intent.
Li Jian berated a few soldiers to stop them from interfering with the noise of the people.
"Your Highness, General Xue is already outside. Magistrate Rao Qinghe has been captured alive and tied up.”Luo Bin Wang came in from outside the county office and bowed to report.
"Pull them in!" Li Jian said in a low voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Not long after, Rao Qinghe, who was tied up, was brought in by the Yulin Royal Guards.
Instantly! The citizens 'emotions exploded.
Seeing Rao Qinghe in such a state, the commoners believed that the prince in front of them was the real prince. Otherwise, with Rao Qinghe's power, no one would be able to catch him so easily.
Three to five burly men walked over and punched him a few times. The weaker ones rushed over and scratched Rao Qinghe, wishing they could eat him on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Jian waited for the villagers to vent a little before ordering the Yulin Royal Guards to drive him to the center of the hall.
At this moment, Rao Qinghe saw Li Jian's cold face in the lobby and understood.
He would never have thought that Li Jian, as a prince, would come to such a poor and remote place. According to his plan, he would pack up the women he had snatched and flee to the Western Regions in two days.
On the way back to Kuang County, Xue Rengui stopped him. After Xue Rengui asked about his identity, he did not say much. In less than an hour, a hundred Yulin Royal Guards defeated his thousand guards.
When he was captured, Rao Qinghe thought that another tribe of Tuyuhun was pretending to be the Tang army to take advantage of him.
Because he didn't know Xue Rengui, he wouldn't be afraid of the Tuyuhun people. As long as he met Fuyun Khagan in the Tuyuhun territory, he was confident that he could regain his freedom.
However, when he arrived at Kuang County, he started to panic. This wasn't a Tuyuhun person. Could it be the new acting king?？？
When he arrived at the main hall of the county government office, he was beaten up. When he saw Li Jian's cold face, he started to break down.
"Your Highness, this humble official kowtowed. I didn't know that Your Highness had arrived, so this humble official didn't welcome you.”Although he had been punched a few times and his face was swollen, he still had hope.
The commoners were unusually angry and were stopped by the soldiers. Li Jian slapped the gavel and said sternly,"
"Rao Qinghe, do you know the commoners in the hall? Do you know your sin? The laws of the imperial court did not have any sense of shame!”
" This…Your Highness…I…" Cold sweat broke out on Rao Qinghe's forehead, and his body seemed to have collapsed.
"The tragedy of Kuang County was caused by you. The people were displaced, the women were crying, the soldiers were lazy, and the military was in disarray. Rao Qinghe, this king has never seen such a shameless person like you!”Li Jian stared at the pale Rao Qinghe with a knife-like gaze and said coldly.
Below the hall, the anger of the commoners had reached its peak. Some of the commoners had already begun to spit at him.
Rao Qinghe's entire body began to tremble. His hands and feet made knocking sounds on the stone slab. The stone slab was covered in cold sweat. This was extreme fear.
