Wei Yanshi looked at them coldly and waved his hand to let the soldiers outside the hall take the men away. Five days later, he would be paraded through the streets for public display and executed at noon.

Gao Zhubu struggled to break free from the soldiers behind him, and said to the young man in a hateful voice: "Did your Highness ask the Emperor before he acted like this? Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will investigate you for handling the officials of the court without authorization and punish you for exceeding your authority?"

Wei Yanshi said calmly: "I still have the right to kill a few insignificant officials. Besides, if I remember correctly, this land of Nanzhou is under my jurisdiction."

"Your Majesty has not been to the South for many years. As soon as you appeared today, you started killing people. Aren't you afraid that the people of the South will rise up against you in the future?!"

Gao Zhubu's words were very convincing, as if he was really a good official pleading for the people. When County Magistrate Wang thought that the Wang family's incense would be destroyed in his hands, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Your Majesty has killed many innocent people in Yandu for a few years because of your status. How come you are so fair and strict today? Or is it that only Your Majesty is allowed to set fires in Yandu, but your subordinates are not allowed to light lamps? Your Majesty is cruel and violent, so what's wrong with us following your master's example and killing a few worthless people?"

"The mistake is that you were not born in heaven."

Wei Yanshi did not want to waste words with him, and just one sentence made the man's face turn red and his eyes almost popped out. The officers and soldiers who were escorting the man saw that he looked impatient and quickly dragged him away.

Until he left, County Magistrate Wang kept cursing: "Wei Yanshi, you shall not die well! The Yan Dynasty will perish sooner or later if it has a legitimate son like you! If we die today, it will be unforgivable for us. Someone will avenge us in the future! You shall not die well, hmm..."

The officer who had completely controlled him was sweating profusely. He quickly freed his hands to cover his mouth and subconsciously looked back.

The young man Yanyan sat upright in the hall. The warm afternoon sun did not shine on him at all. A dark shadow covered his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The next moment, when they met his gaze, the officers and soldiers lowered their heads quickly and dared not look directly at him, but they couldn't help wondering in their hearts whether a person like him would also feel lonely sometimes?

After Yu Jin and the others were taken away, they stepped forward and bowed hesitantly, "My Lord, what about Wang Ju's account book?"

"Continue investigating." Wei Yanshi collected his thoughts and said expressionlessly, "There is also the matter of the dental clinic. All those who have been wronged will be appeased one by one."

The taxes embezzled were no small matter. Yu Jin nodded to show that he understood.

From the original ten days to the current five days, he sighed lightly and began to doubt his own abilities.

Wei Yanshi was in no mood to comfort this subordinate who was beginning to lose confidence. He suddenly remembered that he had just revealed his identity in front of Gu Qinghe and was busy thinking about how to make up for it.

He didn't want her to hate Liu Bai, nor did he want to lose the rare sense of belonging.

Yu Jing had just ordered the constable to bring out the people from the pawnbroker's shop for questioning when he turned around and saw the young man rushing to the backyard with Wei Wu like a gust of wind.

The back figure looks a little panicky for some reason?

Yu Jin shook his head, thinking that he must be too tired and his eyes were blurry.

The young man was fearless and could run rampant in Yandu, a city full of powerful people, let alone a small town like Nanning.

After hearing how Wei Yanshi dealt with County Magistrate Wang, Xie Fuyi no longer insisted on killing him. If County Magistrate Wang was not dead in five days, he would come to collect his body.

He remembered what he had promised the little girl yesterday and followed her towards the backyard of the government office.

Yu Jin couldn't stop it. He just felt that he, the county magistrate, was like the jade porcelain vase that his wife placed on the windowsill at home.
