The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Chapter 41 The crimes are too numerous to list!

So he shouted sternly, "How dare you, a rude commoner, sit in the position of Jingzhao Yin? This is a capital crime against the dignity of the country!"

The people were all frightened and didn't dare to speak out with a worried look on their faces. It was so hard to find someone who could make the Jingzhao Yin lose face, but unfortunately he was about to be gone.

The air was quiet for a few breaths, and suddenly Ling Yueqing stood up like a catapult, clutching her chest in panic, "What should I do? I don't know, I won't be beheaded, will I?"

Seeing this, Liang Qingshan felt very comfortable. He straightened his official uniform and hat and spoke in an official tone, "Why don't you kneel down quickly..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Ling Yueqing sitting down leisurely again, "I'm so scared, eh? I was just pretending!"

Liang Qingshan: "..."

Ling Yueqing rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and waved to the people hiding outside to come in.

"Go and see why he hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes." One of them clasped his fists and went out.

Why hasn't Mo Yu come back yet? Ling Yueqing was confused. Could it be that the Dali Temple Minister was out for something today?

Liang Qingshan was a little frightened. Although these people had black scarves covering their faces, he could tell from their figures that they were martial artists. Could this woman really be someone important?

However, I have attended all the important banquets in Beijing, but I have never seen her.

"The Dali Temple Minister is here——"

A pager sound interrupted Liang Qingshan's thoughts, and he hurried out to greet it.

"Master Fu, how come you have time to come here today?" Although Liang Qingshan spoke calmly, his face was full of flattery.

Although the Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Yin both hold third-rank official positions, they are close to the emperor.

"I heard you have a case here, so I came to take a look."

Liang Qingshan walked in towards the group while complaining and grumbling.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Fu. Today, there was indeed a wicked man who did something very strange and beat me and my subordinates in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Now he still dares to sit in the hall, Master Fu must punish him severely!"

After saying this, Liang Qingshan secretly glanced at his subordinates behind him to see if they had enough people to defeat Ling Yueqing.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but once I did, my heart skipped a beat. Why was the subordinate in the front dressed so similarly to the people in the room...

Looking at the half-smile on the face of the Dali Temple Minister, Liang Qingshan had a bad feeling.

Soon his premonition came true.

As soon as he entered the room, he heard the Dali Temple Minister say loudly, "Dali Temple Minister Fu Shuheng pays his respects to the princess." The moment Liang Qingshan stepped into the room, his foot was petrified.

"What did you just say? What princess?"

"Naturally, it's the wife of my Li Kingdom's glorious and victorious King Zhan - Princess Zhan." The Dali Temple Minister couldn't help but feel proud when he talked about King Zhan, as he had watched the child grow up.

Liang Qingshan felt dizzy. Yes, he had seen all those high-ranking officials and noble ladies, but he had forgotten about Princess Zhan, who grew up on the border and had just arrived in Shengjing.

Is it too late for him to run now? Thinking about the insulting words in his words just now, Liang Qingshan felt that he saw his grandmother waving at him.

The thought only lasted a moment, and the next second he knelt on the ground, kowtowed awkwardly, without any trace of the arrogance he had just had.

"Princess, please forgive me. I didn't know you were the princess..."

"What? If I'm not a princess, you can bully me at will? Who gave you the right?" Ling Yueqing despises people who bully the weak and fear the strong.

Liang Qingshan was unable to utter a word in his defense, and Xue Wang had been slumped on the ground since the Dali Temple Minister arrived.

The Dali Temple Minister bowed and asked, "Princess, how do you judge this matter?"

"The Jingzhao Yin verbally insulted my princess, and deliberately protected the bully, taking human life lightly. I must verify all the facts and punish him severely!"

"Yes, I will live up to the princess's trust."

Ling Yueqing looked at the people outside and said loudly, "The Dali Temple is here today. If you have any clues or grievances to appeal, you can tell us everything. The Dali Temple will definitely seek justice for you."

The people stared at Ling Yueqing intently, forgetting to react. Today, their moods were like a roller coaster, going up and down.

Until someone shouted, "Long live the princess," everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison.

"Everyone, please stand up. Today, I will help you bring the evildoers to justice."

Then Ling Yueqing sat aside and handed the case over to the professional case-trialist - the Dali Temple Chief Justice.

The people who complained spent the whole afternoon talking. Several clerks were called in to record the incident. They were wailing in their hearts while writing it down. The evil deeds of these people were simply too numerous to list. There was no way to record them all.

A young man with severe burns on his face was filled with grief and anger.

"Sir, a year ago, Xue Wang saw that my wife was beautiful and took her away by force. I disagreed, so he set fire to my house. That's when my face was burned."

"I filed a complaint with the government, but the Jingzhao Yin refused to conduct a trial. He just said that I was careless in lighting the lamp at night and the fire started accidentally. In the end, I was beaten with thirty sticks, and Xue Wang never showed up from beginning to end."

"I lay in bed for three full days before I could get up. My legs became lame for life. My wife was afraid that I would go looking for her again and get killed, so she chose to hang herself."

"I have searched everywhere but to no avail. Today I beg you, my lord, princess, to avenge me and my poor wife."

-

A middle-aged man said indignantly.

"As for my neighbor Erhu, he is very kind-hearted and willing to help out with any problems faced by the neighbors. Three months ago, Xue Wang passed by and asked for a bowl of water because he was thirsty. Erhu poured it for him without giving it a second thought."

"Xue Wang saw Erhu's wife mending clothes through the crack in the door, and he raped her as soon as he entered. Erhu, his wife, and his elderly mother were so angry that they went to the government office to file a complaint, and they never came back."

-

A street vendor said with great sorrow.

"We get up early and work late every day to earn a few hard-earned dollars. Xue Wang collects protection fees several times a month. If we don't pay, he will beat us to death. Sometimes the money we earn is not enough to pay the protection fees..."

Each and every case was the result of the people's hatred and tears. Xue Wang and Jingzhao Yin initially argued that it was a false accusation, but as more and more people filed complaints, the two of them lowered their heads lower and lower like defeated roosters.

Several of the followers behind him have fainted from fright. They have been accomplices of the evildoers over the years and have been involved in almost every evil deed. Now that their leader has fallen, their deaths will not be far away.

Ling Yue was amazed as she listened, she had never seen anyone do such evil things that the censors could keep asking for paper.

The Dali Temple Minister's expression became more and more serious. When he heard the princess summon him, he thought it was just an ordinary case of defiance and he was just here to help establish his authority.
