The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

When Yao Shen saw Nanny Du appear, although he didn't show it on his face, his hands holding the reins tightened instantly.

He served as Censor for seven years and was on patrol all year round.

Crown Prince Yan Lin was frail and sickly and rarely appeared in public.

He had never seen the prince and could be said to not recognize him.

However, no civil or military official who could attend court dared to say that they did not know Nanny Du, the most useful woman to the Queen.

But the Yao family's grand plan has come to this point, and there is no way back. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit, so he cannot retreat.

Even if Yao was convicted of killing the crown prince, the Second Prince was the heir to the throne and was young and ignorant. He could stay out of the matter and not be implicated. Without the roadblock in the way, the succession to the throne could still be expected.

Killing Xiao Birang would eliminate another major threat for the Second Prince.

By then, the military power in the hands of the expeditionary Earl's Mansion will be enough to make the emperor wary and give a helping hand to the second prince!

"Xiao Birang! I admire you as a veteran general guarding the border, but I didn't expect you to be so absurd! As a military general, you led a group of unruly people to attack and kill officials! This is already an aggravated crime, and now you have found someone to impersonate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! With this fake identity and background, you wooed the Yuanzhou Jin family to make huge profits and raise money to support the army and rebel! This is simply an unforgivable crime!

Previously, I received a report that someone had reported that you were hiding in the mountains, raising private soldiers, and were ambitiously plotting a rebellion. I was skeptical and refused to believe it! Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am greatly disappointed!

Today, I will arrest you all and take you back to the capital immediately! I will hand you over to the emperor for his decision!"

After reprimanding Xiao Birang in a high-sounding manner, Yao Shen then set his sights on Madam Du and snorted coldly, "Everyone in the world knows that the Crown Prince is recuperating and praying in the Royal Temple. At that time, the traveling team was very large, accompanied by the Empress herself! And the Crown Prince was ill, and he simply couldn't travel thousands of miles from Changjing to here! You are so bold and cunning! How dare you tell such a big lie in public! I will not let you off!

This is a serious matter. All those involved in this case, Xiao Birang! The fake prince! The fake nanny! The Jin family of Yuanzhou! The fifty-eight households of Yuxi Village! All of them must be arrested by this officer! It is better to let them go than to let anyone escape!

Before this case is completely resolved, the government will take over the operation of the Jin family's tea and wine workshops to ensure that the Baixiangcao continues to supply the people! "

At the order from the lord, the accompanying guards immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the people on the other side of the stone bridge.

There was commotion all around, and the people who followed were both frightened and angry.

"You idiot official! You incompetent official! How dare you!"

Sharp shouts were heard from the crowd, and figures one after another rushed onto the stone bridge, using their bodies as a wall to separate the officials from the people of Yuxi Village.

Ge Li, Yu Dazhuang, Liu Quezi, Tan Mazi, Luo Kuaizui, Bao Xiaoxiao.

The people of Chaogui Village headed by Boss Zhao.

There are also people from Xincun, Dishi Village, Tongshan Village, Dashi Village, Guangan Village...

Even the half-grown children stood over there. Meng Liu and Meng Yuan, with pale faces and trembling with fear, still stood firmly in front of the people from Yuxi Village and refused to give in.

The children of Yuxi Village were not afraid either. Seeing this, they wiped their tears and ran over, opening their little arms and joining everyone in protecting their grandparents, their homes, and their village.

Yan Changqing stood behind and watched the scene quietly.

There was a little girl next to him who was about to tear his sleeves.

Xu Hanzhang folded his hands in front of him and poked the old general next to him with his elbow. "If there is one injured over there, I will use your big head as a drum."

General Xiao felt a little stressed and kept silent.

Yao Shenlang, since your covert attack failed, you should try an open attack.

The reason sounds plausible.

Once they surrender, there are a hundred reasons why the prince would die suddenly on the way back to the capital.

The stone bridge in the village was not big and was filled with people in an instant.

The guards with swords couldn't get through at all.

There was a lot of noise and the situation was at a stalemate.

Yao Shen's eyes flashed with sternness, "Those who obstruct the police from investigating and arresting people will be punished! If you continue to be stubborn, I will use swords to deal with you!"

His words were obscure, but the guards understood his meaning. They no longer hesitated and raised their swords high towards the people!

Yan Changqing's eyes suddenly turned red, "You're looking for death! Mo Yi!"

A cold light flashed in the air and then disappeared. A blood mist reflected the blood-red sunset, floated up and dissipated.

Yao Shen, "You are resisting stubbornly and committing treason! Kill!"

At the same time, another voice was heard, the voice was sharp and high-pitched, "The imperial edict has arrived--"

"Master Yao, you don't recognize the Crown Prince, and you don't recognize Nanny Du who serves the Queen. You don't even recognize me, do you?"

Cui Jing walked towards them leisurely, wearing a first-rank crimson eunuch robe, holding a whisk with a silver tail and holding a yellow silk in his hand.

Along with them came five hundred imperial guards holding bright yellow flags with the word "Great Rui" inscribed on them.

The armored Yulin guards drew their bows and shot five hundred arrows directly at Yao Shen.

Yao Shen's face suddenly turned pale, and all the blood color disappeared.

The fingers that were tightly gripping the reins were unable to loosen, and the dejection overwhelmed the straight back.

If he dares to move again, he will be pierced by thousands of arrows.

Since Cui Jing was able to arrive so timely, he must have already arrived and was just waiting for this moment to speak.

He lost this game of chess and this gamble.

The Yao family lost.

Cui Jing walked to the front of Gao Ma without looking around. His gaze passed through the confused crowd on the stone bridge and fell on the face of the young man standing quietly with his hands hanging behind him. His eyes softened for a moment.

Even when it fell on the surrounding people and the villagers of Yuxi, it became less sharp.

"The emperor has issued an order. Everyone kneel down and listen!" Cui Jing raised his voice.

All those who were standing knelt down immediately, following every command and moving without being able to recover.

Yao Shen also climbed down from his horse and knelt on the ground.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the will of Heaven, has decreed that a family that accumulates good deeds will surely have good fortune. The Lin family of Yuxi Village is a family of righteousness and good conduct. I feel sorry for you, but I have never been able to do so. You should be praised and praised to show your hidden virtue. I hereby present you with a plaque inscribed with the words 'A Family that Accumulates Good Deeds'. Your spirit is not ignorant, and you will still know the honor."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, has decreed: The people of Yuxi Village in Wutong Town are simple and honest, and are full of kindness and goodness. How can I be stingy with my praise? I hereby grant the village the name of "Hometown of Miraculous Herbs" and a stone tablet with inscriptions. May you be honored and forever blessed by Heaven."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Diligence in the country and aid to the people is the great virtue of the world. According to the reports of your local officials, the Provincial Administration Commissioner, the local famine has caused me great concern. Only honest and upright people have come with money, their families are rich, and they have helped the villagers. This is a great virtue that is commendable and should be shown. I hereby proclaim you the Great Merchant of the Imperial Court, and I will give you honor and eternal favor from Heaven."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: You, Xu Hanzhang, are well versed in classics and history, and are knowledgeable about worldly affairs. You write articles that are relevant to the country and have good arguments. You are the glory of the country. I hereby decree that you be given the title of lawyer by the Emperor, and a robe of Chenghuai. Wear this robe to plead for the people and enjoy the privilege of directly reporting to the Emperor! Your robe is brilliant, and the purple palace represents the glory of the remaining blessings!"

The people who were lying on the ground listening to the order did not move for a long time until the words from above fell. Their heads felt as if they had been blown up by thunder, and they were numb from head to toe. They could not recover their senses or come back to their souls.

Yao Shen even knelt down, proving that it was someone from the palace!

The imperial edict is true!

Four! Four imperial edicts!

The emperor issued four imperial edicts in a row!

My mind was still blank when that sharp voice sounded again, reading out the fifth imperial edict!

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, hereby declares: Yao Shen, the Censor, has disregarded my expectations, abused his power for personal gain, committed treason, formed a clique to usurp power, and grossly disrespected the ancestral temple and the country! He shall be immediately stripped of his official post, his official robes and hats, and taken back to Changjing, and submitted to the Clan Affairs Office for a thorough investigation and prosecution! I decree this!"
