The most romantic little emperor

At this time, a fat middle-aged man in fancy clothes tried to break free from the guards and said, "Your Highness, we didn't start the trouble first. It was these unruly people who came to cause trouble for our grain store. We were forced to fight back in self-defense."

"Your Highness, he is talking nonsense. It was this fat guy who ordered us to be beaten. We are innocent."

One of them, dressed as a commoner, stood up and accused them of their evil deeds.

He stretched out his hand to untie the torn clothes and threw them on the ground. "Your Highness, look, this is the evidence. They acted cruelly and wanted to kill us."

"Your Highness, please help us innocent people and kill this thief."

At this time, Shi Minghan came out and said, "Your Highness, this person saw that you did not kneel, and he spoke nonsense in front of you, openly insulting the people as unruly people."

"Such a mad man has no regard for you, the people, or the law."

"Therefore, I suggest that we kill this thief immediately to appease the public anger."

After Shi Minghan finished speaking, another citizen stood up and said, "Your Highness, this gentleman is right. This man has committed many evil deeds and is lawless. He has wantonly raised prices and oppressed the people. He deserves death! Please, Your Highness, make the decision for us!"

The people also shouted and unanimously demanded that the murderer be severely punished.

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Qin Hao said coldly with cold eyes.

It was not until this moment that the middle-aged man realized the seriousness of the matter.

He knelt down quickly and begged, "Your Highness, you can't kill me. My name is Sun Zhigang. My eldest sister, Sun Xinyan, is the wife of Minister Su of the Ministry of Revenue, and my second sister, Sun Xinqi, is the wife of Minister Wen of the Ministry of War. Please spare me for their sake!"

This person's status was indeed not small, Qin Hao hurriedly looked at Shi Minghan.

Shi Minghan nodded and whispered, "Your Highness, what this person said is correct, but his two sisters are not his principal wives. He relied on this relationship to bully others and force women of good families into prostitution. It is simply too numerous to mention."

"Before, he had planned to take advantage of my Mengyao. When I found out, I beat him up severely. I didn't expect him to be vengeful. It can be said that he played a role in my imprisonment."

Chen Qinghai also stepped forward to add fuel to the fire and said, "This man is vicious and cruel. He doesn't even take my Chen family seriously. He often uses improper means to suppress my Chen family. My Chen family doesn't dare to offend the two ministers, so we dare not speak out."

"In addition, I also heard that the major shareholders of this business are the Su family and the Wen family. This Sun Zhigang is just a vicious dog that they pushed out to the public. He bites whoever he sees and is extremely arrogant."

Qin Hao naturally believed what the two said.

Qin Hao looked at Sun Zhigang and laughed, "You are just a stink bug in the ditch. I can crush you with just one finger. Tell me what other backers you have and bring them out!"

This statement is not very hurtful, but it is extremely insulting.

Sun Zhigang's face suddenly turned red, and his fat face looked like a braised pig's head. He pointed at Qin Hao and shouted angrily: "Prince, you, you..."

“Bold and outrageous.”

A Yue would not tolerate his bad habits. She pulled out a dagger from her waist, flashed, and with a "swish" sound, she cut off his hand that was pointing at the prince.

"Ah!" Sun Zhigang screamed and fainted immediately, with blood gushing out of his arm.

Everyone around was stunned. No one expected A Yue to suddenly take action, and be so decisive and ruthless.

A hint of admiration flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. He was very satisfied with A Yue's performance.

"Come here, send this Sun Zhigang to the Ministry of Justice, and let the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Fan Wenhai, personally try the case." Qin Hao said coldly.

"Yes." Immediately, a guard came forward and prepared to carry the unconscious Sun Zhigang away.

Just then, a large group of people arrived here and quickly surrounded everyone.

"The Beijing government's police supervision department is investigating the case. Unrelated personnel must leave immediately, otherwise they will be severely punished." A leading official said coldly.

Qin Hao asked: "Master Shi, who was that person who just spoke?"

Shi Minghan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, this man is Deng Huyong, the head of the Supervision and Arresting Department. He is known as the cold-blooded judge because he handles cases without regard for human feelings or the facts of the case, but only for money."

"Some people even call him Judge Hu because of his reckless judgments."

"What? Do you have a grudge against him?" Qin Hao asked indifferently.

Shi Minghan did not hide his true feelings and cursed fiercely: "Not only do I have a grudge against him, but also the three adults Xie Taishi, Feng Huaiyu, and Li Mu. When the four of us were imprisoned, he was in charge of the interrogation. We suffered a lot."

"At that time, my family used our connections to give him gifts and asked him to take care of us. I didn't expect him to accept the money without showing any mercy."

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "According to what you said, he should have received instructions from someone, otherwise he wouldn't dare to take the money and be so ruthless to you."

Shi Minghan nodded in agreement.

Qin Hao patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Don't be angry. Today, I will vent my anger for you. See how I deal with him."

Shi Minghan was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he bowed and stood beside Qin Hao.

"Who is so bold as to speak so arrogantly in front of this prince?"

Qin Hao shouted, "The Imperial Guards, move out and capture this man for me."

At Qin Hao's command, the Imperial Guards immediately took action and surrounded the group of people.

They were wearing armor and holding spears, like an indestructible wall, standing between the crowd and Qin Hao.

Deng Huyong's face changed. He didn't expect Qin Hao to be in the crowd. This really caused trouble.

Although he was panicked in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. After thinking for a while, he immediately came up with an idea.

So he knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Highness, I, Deng Huyong, am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me!"

"Bring him here." Qin Hao said sternly.

Soon, Deng Huyong was brought to Qin Hao, who asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you injured?"

"What? Do you really want me to get hurt?" Qin Hao said lightly.

"My subordinates dare not."

Deng Huyong quickly explained: "I heard that someone was causing trouble here, so I brought people over to take a look."

"Now that the matter has been resolved, Your Highness, please hand over these troublemakers to me for handling. I promise to conduct a strict interrogation and give justice to the people present."

I have to say that Deng Huyong is really a talented person. He quickly understood the current situation and responded quickly.

If he were an upright and good official, Qin Hao would definitely give him a higher stage to display his talents.

Unfortunately, he is a lackey of some people, so it's no wonder that Qin Hao didn't give him a chance.
