Li Xiao turned to Ma Diwei and said sternly,"
"Then where are the women that Wei Wen snatched?”
" Reporting to Your Highness, they are all locked up in a small building behind the county government. Wei Wen named it Bronze Sparrow Building after Cao Aman…" Ma Diwei said.
"Madiwei, do you want to make a contribution to atone for your crimes?”Li Xiao asked.
"Yes!" Madiwei said loudly.
"Alright, then bring your soldiers and bring all the women and their families that Wei Wenqiang kidnapped here!”
"Yes! Your Highness."
Ma Diwei felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly led his subordinates to the back of the county government.
At this moment, a large group of commoners had already gathered on the street.
Their eyes were filled with confusion. Most of them were confused about what had just happened.
However, some of the commoners who were standing closer were already whispering Li Xiao's words to Ma Diwei.
"Looks like he's a high-ranking official, but he's so young.”
"I heard from Madiwei that he is a prince. What is a prince?”
"I don't know. His Highness is definitely older than Liu Di and Wei, perhaps even older than Wei Wen. It seems that Kuang County is about to change?”
"Let's see who has saved us in the past few years. If this continues, we will be swallowed up by the Tuyuhun people!
"…At that time, we, the people of the Great Tang, will become the slaves of the Hu. Just thinking about it makes me feel stifled!”
"Don't say anymore. This young prince is so powerful. Madiwei is usually so arrogant.”
"Did you see that today? He's even more obedient than a grandson in front of this little official.”
……
The more people gathered, the more Li clamor, holding a horsewhip, walked into the hall of the county government.
Wang Bo led his subordinates to appease the people. He said loudly,
"Villagers, King Jiang has come. If you have any grievances, you can go to the Great Tang to complain!”
One of the bolder commoners stepped forward and asked carefully,""What's His Highness?"
"Your Highness," Wang Bo replied,"is how you address a prince!"”
Boom!
Prince?
The prince was here?
The commoners finally understood!
They couldn't believe it.
However, they could not believe what they saw.
"The prince is here. Let's go and talk about our grievances!
"Wei Wen, that dog official, has caused the death of our Kuang County.”
"Let's go and take a look."
The commoners swarmed into the hall.
At this moment, Li Xiao was already sitting in the hall. He saw that the hall was covered in dust.
One could imagine that this place had never been upgraded before.
Li Xiao thought,"
"Li Chengqian, Zhangsun Wuji, Xu Wenjun, Wei Wen, this is a chain of interests.”
"If it wasn't for Zhangsun Wuji's indulgence, Second Rao wouldn't have been so domineering and greedy!”
These days, according to the news that Li Xiao received.
Zhangsun Wuji also sent many officials from Chang 'an to Bingzhou.
It was as if he was in a state of disfigurement.
"Li Chengqian, Zhangsun Wuji, you are too stupid. Do you think you can make me powerless just by sending people to restrict me?”
"You will soon know my advantages and disadvantages. Your laughable behavior will bring you deep humiliation!”
The entire officialdom of Bing Province was rotten, and Bing Province was a big province.
This is digging out Bingzhou and making it fat for you to consolidate your position.
For the sake of profit, you guys raised corrupt officials and became their protective umbrellas.
Let corrupt officials prey on the people and suck the people's fat.
"How can I let you succeed! Never!"
Li Xiao's gaze was far-reaching as he looked at the commoners who filed in.
The people of the world had suffered so much in the prosperous Zhenguan period. How could their clothes be new?
The commoners were all in tatters, their clothes ragged and their faces pale.
Seeing the commoners like this, Li Xiao secretly swore,"
"Bingzhou was bitter in the past. In the future, it will embark on the path of rapid development in my hands.”
"The economy will far surpass all the states in the country, including Chang 'an!”
"When that time comes, let's see how you suppress me!”
In Li Xiao's heart, Bingzhou, a place with corrupt officials and difficult people, was a paradise for him!
This would be the best platform to realize his ambitions!
He would be the heaven of Bing Province, the god that the people of Bing Province worshipped!
Looking at the people in ragged clothes walking into the hall, Li Xiao picked up the gavel and said in a deep voice,"
"Tell me what grievances the villagers have.”
"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 Xiao said in a deep 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 Wei Wen forcefully bought my family's fertile land. One mu of land is only worth one coin, but the contract says one hundred coins.”
"Of course we won't agree. If we don't agree, he'll send troops to attack us.”
"This commoner's leg was broken by his soldiers. Your Highness, look.”
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, that bastard Wei Wen not only robbed the farmland, he also robbed the women.”
"We already have five virgins in our Copper Cymbal Village who have been forcefully snatched away by this dog official.”
"Your Highness! 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.
Madiwei led a large group of sorrowful women into the hall.
"Your Highness, these are the women that Wei Wen 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 avenge you today!”
At this moment, Li Xiao's hands were already clenched into fists, and his face looked very calm.
His heart was filled with rage and killing intent.
Li Xiao berated a few soldiers to interfere with the noise of the people.
"Your Highness, General Xue is already outside. County Magistrate Wei Wen has been captured alive and tied up.”
Wang Bo came in from outside the county office and reported.
"Pull them in!" Li Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Wei Wen, who was tied up, was brought in by the Yulin Royal Guards.
Instantly! The citizens 'emotions exploded.
