Chapter 323

Ning Yirong gave Goudan a cup of tea and let Goudan take Lao Hei and the guards out.

The people in Donghua County were making a fuss when they suddenly heard someone shouting "The Great Emperor's Grandson" coming.

The people are a little nervous.

The leading guard saw that the people were a little dazed and said loudly: "You still don't kneel when the great emperor's grandson is here?!"

The people quickly knelt on the ground.

After the dog eggs came out, they were not allowed to get up. "You say magistrate Jiang corrupted the law and oppressed the people, do you have evidence?"

As soon as Goudan finished speaking, someone said, "Emperor Grandson, are you trying to cover up County Magistrate Jiang by saying that?"

"Presumptuous! The court has always relied on evidence when handling cases. Since you say that magistrate Jiang has done a lot of evil things, then you should show the evidence."

"We have no evidence. If we had evidence, we would have gone to the capital to sue him."

"That's right. How can we have any evidence? He said tax collection is taxation, and husband collection is taxation. If we couldn't survive, we wouldn't ask Mr. Shi."

"That's right. Great emperor's grandson, you can't cover him up."

"Emperor grandson, we kowtow to you. Grand emperor grandson, you must make the decision for us. We are really forced by him so that we can't survive, so we want to scare him."

"Emperor's grandson, if he is a good official, why would we all say that he is not good?"

"Yes. Great Emperor's grandson, we are the evidence."

……

Goudan didn't expect them to cheat directly.

The leader saw that Goudan didn't know what to do, so he said, "Grand Emperor, please let go of those bandits. They are good people, and we asked them for help."

"Yes. Grand Emperor, you can just let them go, they are all good people."

"My grandson, please."

"My grandson, please."

……

Ning Yirong just came back after asking Wenjiang county magistrate historian how many people there are. "Father, they are cheating."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Goudan thought about it. "Capture the thief first and capture the king first, I'm going to arrest the Patriarch of the Shi Family."

"and then?"

"..."

"Torture to extract a confession?"

"..."

"Special circumstances call for special measures. Old Hei, go and bring back all the men of the Shi family as dead, including children."

Old Hei said "Yes" and left.

The county magistrate Jiang was afraid of stirring up a civil uprising. "Your Highness, the historian is very powerful in this area. What if the nearby villagers also rush over..."

"So we have to cut the mess quickly."

"...Your Highness is wise."

On the other side, Master Shi, the head of the historian family, retracted and laughed a few times when he heard that Goudan came out and said a few words. "Hahahaha...a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. Even the crown prince has to shrink back when he comes to my territory. Ha...uh!"

Before he finished laughing, there was an extra sword on his neck!

Master Shi's face turned pale all of a sudden. "You... who are you?"

"Old black."

Master Shi felt relieved. "You... you can't kill me. I... I didn't do anything illegal."

Old Hei slapped him unconscious.

So old and so naive.

The people in Donghua County were clamoring for Ning Yirong to come out when they suddenly heard a few screams from behind.

The people subconsciously looked back.

After seeing clearly what was going on, the people became quiet in an instant.

Lao Hei and his men pulled ten carts of corpses through the crowd.

Each corpse had a pool of blood on its chest.

People want to talk, but...

Did magistrate Jiang collect taxes indiscriminately?They are very clear about whether there is a random conscript.

When Ning Yirong heard that it was quiet outside, he brought Goudan and County Magistrate Jiang out of the county government office.

This time, the common people all knelt down without the guard saying anything.

Ning Yirong looked at them and said: "I know that the historian is kind to you, and I know that you are grateful to the historian. But you can't confuse right and wrong and slander the court officials just because of this. You are all my father's people, my father The emperor cares about you very much, and often sends people to various places to see how everyone is doing."

"If County Magistrate Jiang is really what you say, my father would have already chopped off his head."

"Okay, tell me, why do you slander County Magistrate Jiang?"

"If you tell the truth, I will forgive you for your innocence. If you want to go all the way to the dark, then I will fulfill you."

"Don't you think that because you are so numerous and powerful, this Palace dare not do anything with you?"

"How many people died in the wars in the past few years?"

"You don't have more, and you don't have less."

"Are you going to be my father's subjects? Or are you going to be the historian's accomplices? Choose yourself."

"I will give you the time to burn a stick of incense."

"Incense!"

"Yes!"

After the guard lit the incense, Ning Yirong sat on the chair.

The chair was brought by magistrate Jiang.

The people of Donghua County looked at the corpses of the historians' men, and at the little incense sticks that were shortened...

Soon someone will be overwhelmed.

"Your Highness, I want to be the Emperor's subjects! I want to be the Emperor's subjects!"

After someone started, others also shouted:

"Your Highness, I also want to be a subject of the Emperor!"

"Your Highness, I also want to be a subject of the Emperor!"

……

Ning Yirong waited until the incense was finished burning before looking at the chief guard.

The chief guard looked at the people in Donghua County and said loudly: "Okay, stop talking, Your Highness knows what you want."

The people of Donghua County soon became quiet.

Ning Yirong looked at them and said, "Tell me, why do you slander County Magistrate Jiang?"

Everyone said that Master Shi asked them to do this.

Ning Yirong waited for them to finish speaking and then looked over at County Magistrate Jiang. "It's your turn."

"Yes." County magistrate Jiang looked at the people and said, "Isn't there a large piece of dry land in the east of our county that grows grass but no crops? I want to build a canal to divert the water from the Chijiang River there. After diverting there, In a few years, the land over there should be able to grow crops. When crops can grow, I will sell them to you at a low price."

"Almost all of you are now tenant farmers of the historian. The historian is afraid that I will draw you to the court, so he keeps stopping me from repairing it."

"I originally planned to persuade the historian slowly, but unexpectedly, the historian wanted to threaten me with my wife and daughter."

The people in Donghua County were shocked when they heard this.

"Master, why didn't you tell us?"

"I haven't asked the court yet. I want to convince the historian first. Because if you want to bring the water from the Chijiang River, you have to go through the historian's land."

Ning Yirong looked at Lao Hei after seeing the matter clearly.

Lao Hei tapped the Shijia males a few times, and the Shijia males all came back to life.

People: "..." Your Highness is cheating!

His Highness raised his eyebrows.May you cheat, but don't allow me to cheat? "Master Shi, are you convicted?"

Master Shi felt that he was not guilty. "Ning, Donghua County was preserved by our historians. Even if you kill us all today, you can't change this fact."

Ning Yirong smiled. "Son, he said that Donghua County was preserved by their historians. In addition, the people of Donghua County may think so too."

Goudan thought for a while and whispered a few words in Ning Yirong's ear.

The corners of Ning Yirong's mouth curled up. "Father thinks so too."
