Li An looked back at the rescued woman.

The woman was still staring at the accountant.

"Old Wang, lend her a knife!" Li An said.

Old Wang nodded, and handed the knife in his hand to the woman.

The woman looked at Lao Wang in a daze, and immediately grabbed the handle of the knife tightly, and rushed towards the accountant like crazy.

"No, don't come here." The accountant said in fear.

"Shu~"

"click~"

"click~"

The knife slashed at the body one after another, and the wailing sound became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Many villagers couldn't help retching.

……

The old emperor has seen with his own eyes the gentry's humiliation and oppression of the people, and his goal has been achieved.

Li An stood up, "Old Liu, I'll leave this to you!"

"Yes!" Liu Qing nodded and signaled to his subordinates.

The soldiers raised their butcher knives and started massacring the slaves and yamen servants.

……

"My lord!" Wang Hu suddenly exclaimed.

Li An looked back, and it turned out that it was a woman who stabbed the knife into her own chest.

The woman vomited blood, exhausted her last breath, and knelt down in Li An's direction with difficulty.

"Boom~" The woman knocked her head heavily on the ground, and never lifted it up again.

"My lord, it was all my negligence. I should take the knife back." The old Wang looked sad and angry, and he also sympathized with this woman's experience!

Li An shook his head: "For her, this is relief, let her family of three be honored."

"Boom~" There was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and the dark clouds in the distant sky were gathering rapidly.

"Is it going to rain? It's good to rain, many people will die today, so I don't have to clean up when it rains." Li An murmured.

……

Enter Wang Shi's residence.

Wang Shi couldn't wait for Li An to come back for a long time, and he felt more and more uneasy. He stood up and planned to go to the casino by himself.

As a result, as soon as he stood up, the butler rushed to report: "My lord, the prince is here."

Wang Shi quickly put on a smiling face and led people out to meet him.

……

"Your Majesty welcomes the lord." Wang Shi respectfully knelt at the entrance of the mansion.

Li An dismounted with a smile, walked over and patted Wang Shi's shoulder meaningfully: "Wang Junshou, you must be busy."

Wang Shi was stunned, not knowing what Li An was talking about.

He had no choice but to say vaguely: "It's all what a lower official should do."

Li An smiled, and looked at Wang Shi coldly: "By the way, Governor Wang, there is someone you need to meet."

"Who?" Wang Shi looked confused.

Li An pointed to the carriage behind him.

Wang Shi leaned over full of curiosity, and opened the curtain of the carriage tremblingly.

When he saw the old emperor sitting among them, Wang Shi was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak, and he knelt on the ground at once.

Wang Shi was very smart, he didn't call out Long Live His Majesty in public, but looked back at Li An in fear: "Your Majesty, what instructions do you have for Your Majesty?"

"Let's go to your Wang family's old house." Li An said.

Hearing this, Wang Shi froze in place for an instant, he had already guessed something!

……

The Wang family's old house, all members of the Wang family's houses rushed back today.

They all received letters from the patriarch Wang Shi, asking them to come back to discuss important family matters!

"The patriarch is here!" a servant called out.

Hearing the sound, all members of the Wang family smiled and ran to the door respectfully to greet them.

"Welcome Patriarch!"

Walking in with Wang Shi were Li An and Li Xin.

"Patriarch, who are these two?" A clansman asked curiously.

Wang Shi was sweating coldly on his forehead, and said quickly, "This is Lord Chen, and this is the King of Haijiang!"

"I have seen King Chen, King Haijiang!" Everyone knelt down and saluted respectfully.

Li An and Li Xin didn't even look at them, they went straight to the main seat and sat down.

After the two brothers sat down, a member of the clan asked curiously: "Patriarch, why did you call us back in such a hurry?"

"I called you back?" Wang Shi looked surprised and shocked, and he subconsciously looked at Li An.

My heart became more and more uneasy.

"My lord, why did you invite everyone here?" Wang Shi bit the bullet and asked.

"Bring people up." Li An said lightly.

Brother Jin and a yamen servant were brought up. Seeing the yamen servant, Wang Shi's heart tightened.

"My lord, what is this?" Wang Shi asked anxiously.

Li An gave Brother Jin a look, and Brother Jin quickly told what happened in the village.

Hearing this, a member of the Wang family stood up in a panic. He is Wang Shi's younger brother, and the people who collected the land rent were all his own people.

It is not new to kill people when collecting land rent, but how can the prince know about it?

Li An looked at the yamen servant: "Is there a half-truth in what he said?"

The yamen servant shook his head in fear: "Everything he said is true!"

Li An nodded and looked at Wang Shi: "A family of three, three lives, how do you want to judge?"

Wang Shi looked puzzled, thought for a moment, and said bravely: "My lord, you will pay for your life if you kill someone. I will send someone to arrest the evil slave!"

Wang Shi still wants to protect his own family members!

Chapter 240 Riot

Li An smiled coldly, and said slowly: "I have already killed the person."

"Thank you, my lord, for beheading the evil slaves for the people." Wang Shi flattered.

The other Wang family also followed Wang Shi to flatter.

Li An didn't speak, Wang Shi continued: "My lord, it's only natural to pay back the debt. I will let people pay attention to it in the future. Rent collection is rent collection, and there won't be too much trouble."

As he spoke, Wang Shi took out another stack of bank notes and handed them to Li An.

Li An looked at the banknote with a sneer on his face, took it and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Wang Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and just collected the money.

"The king agrees with your words very much. It is only natural to pay back the debt. Then when will you pay back the money of the king?"

"My lord, when did we owe you money?" Wang Shi looked puzzled, and so did everyone in the Wang family.

"The entire southern border is my king's fiefdom, and your land is also my king's. You use my king's land to rent it to the people, shouldn't you rent it to me?" Li An asked.

Everyone was dumb, but Wang Shi was thinking hard. The prince did this only for money?

"How much land rent does the lord want?" Wang Shi secretly scolded Li An for being greedy, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

"Ten thousand taels of silver." Li An's face was cold.

Wang Shi's eyeballs are about to get out of their sockets, tens of thousands of taels of silver?crazy?

"My lord, we can't get it out!" Wang Shi bit his lip tightly.

"Are you sure you can't take it out?" Li An smiled.

"I really can't get it out." Wang Shi replied.

"It's a pity." Li An murmured, and immediately took out the fire pocket, and burned all the bank notes that Wang Shi handed over.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Everyone in the Wang family looked at Li An in puzzlement, only Wang Shi had a gloomy expression.

Wang Shi took a deep breath, and a stern look flashed in his eyes: "My lord, I will give you an explanation for those three lives!"

"You are very smart!" Li An smiled lightly, and threw a knife to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi picked up the knife and walked towards his brother.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Wang Shi's younger brother backed away in fear.

Wang Shi drew out his knife and said coldly, "You shouldn't allow your slaves to harm the common people. I am the official of Nanshui County's parents. I want to seek justice for the common people!"

"Brother, don't!"

"Rest in peace!" After saying that, Wang Shi chopped it down with a knife.

"Ah~" everyone in the Wang family exclaimed, their eyes were full of fear, the patriarch actually killed his own brother!

Wang Shi's eyes are also bloodshot at the moment. He killed his younger brother with his own hands. If he hadn't connived at the beginning, they would not be so arrogant and domineering. After all, he killed them!

But compared to his younger brother's life, his official career is the most important!

Thinking of this, Wang Shi squeezed out a smile: "My lord, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Well, not bad." Li An nodded with a smile, and then clapped his hands again.

Wang Shi was stunned for a moment, is there anyone else?

Soon, Wang Xi, who was beaten badly, was brought up. When he saw Wang Shi, he cried and said, "Uncle, save me!"

Wang Shi's pupils dilated. Why did Wang Xi also fall into Li An's hands? Wang Xi is the only child of his younger brother, and he just killed his own brother...

"My lord, how did my nephew offend my lord?" Wang Shi asked boldly.

"It didn't offend me, but he just wanted His Royal Highness to stay with him!" Li An looked at Wang Shi with a half-smile.

Wang Shi's pupils dilated, and his expression was disbelieving. He suddenly felt his legs go limp, and he fell to the ground.

Why is the princess involved?

"Wang Shi, this precious nephew gave me a lot of good things?"

"What?" Wang Shi blurted out.

"You collected bribes and bent the law for personal gain, and your royal family members bullied the market and oppressed the people's serious crimes, he gave me a whole account book!"

"What?" Everyone in the Wang family exclaimed, their fire-breathing eyes wanted to tear Wang Xi alive, and they all roared angrily, "Wang Xi, you traitor!"

Wang Xi was so frightened that he kept crying: "I can't help it. If I don't tell, they will beat me to death! Where is my father? Dad, come and save me!"

"Your father is here, your uncle just killed it with his own hands." Li An jokingly smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Xi looked at the corpse on the ground in disbelief, and immediately looked at Wang Shi with red eyes: "Wang Shi, did you really kill my father?"

"Your father deserved it!" Wang Shi said with a sullen face.

"I'm fighting with you." Wang Xi was suddenly furious, got up and rushed towards Wang Shi.

Wang Shi's eyes turned cold, he took the knife in his hand, and killed Wang Xi with one blow!

"My lord, Wang Xi dares to humiliate His Royal Highness the princess, he deserves death, and the officials have already executed him!" Wang Shi bit his lip and bowed to Li An.
