My subjects are too rebellious!

This address made Li Muwen a little dazed.

My thoughts seem to have gone back many years ago...

Since Wang Fuchen took advantage of Li Muwen's resentment to frame Zhao Yuanwai and imprison him and seized his property, he appointed him as the "guardian" of these ill-gotten gains.

And he naturally became "Mr. Li".

But he had no idea that Wang Fuchen had been killed by a sword.

.......

Long Yang was wearing a gorgeous Feiyu suit and a gleaming embroidered spring sword on his waist.

He was preparing to go to Yunnan Prefecture and planned to stop for a rest when passing through Guangxi Prefecture.

So he went to a pub.

His arrival inadvertently attracted the attention of people around him, but Long Yang's eyes were fixed on two men who were talking in a low voice in the corner.

"My two brothers, you seem to be worried. How about I invite you two to have a drink and talk about the ups and downs?"

He walked slowly to the table for two and raised his hand to signal the waiter to add some good wine.

The two were stunned at first, then smiled at each other.

Since the other party treated them with courtesy and there was no malice in their words, they gladly accepted the invitation.

After all, the current Jinyiwei are not the ferocious beasts that everyone fears.

At least, in the eyes of the common people, the Jinyiwei were closer to them than the government officials.

...

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually became better, and Long Yang's eyes revealed a bit of curiosity.

He gently put down his wine glass and asked in a gentle tone: "My two brothers, I just heard you mention 'good people don't live long'. What do you mean by this? I would like to hear your details."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, then turned to look at Long Yang, with a complex emotion flashing in their eyes.

One of them spoke slowly, "Your Excellency is not from this place, so you may not know this. The good man we are talking about is Mr. Zhao, who is well-known in the local area. He is kind and generous, and has been supporting poor students for many years. He is deeply respected by the villagers."

At this point, another person took over the conversation, with a little more indignation in his tone: "However, the world is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to predict!"

"Among the many students sponsored by Mr. Zhao, there was a young man named Li Muwen. At first, he was grateful and studious. But somehow, he was seduced by power or greed, and he teamed up with outsiders to frame Mr. Zhao, fabricating charges that destroyed Mr. Zhao's family and put him in jail. He has not been cleared of his guilt to this day."

At this point, the two couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Long Yang frowned and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He tapped the table lightly, his voice steady and powerful: "Please continue, both of you. Although I am not a local, the duty of the Jinyiwei is to patrol the four directions and eliminate harm for the people. I will never stand idly by when it comes to Mr. Zhao's affairs."

One of them, with red eyes, choked up a little: "Sir, you may not know that Mr. Zhao is a great benefactor to poor people like us."

"During festivals, he would personally visit every household and ask if they had any difficulties. Many children in our village were able to learn to read and write thanks to his financial support."

Another person took over the conversation, his voice full of indignation: "But such a good person ended up like this because of Li Muwen's betrayal."

"It's a pity that Mr. Zhao's good reputation was ruined in an instant. And among the students he sponsored, including Li Muwen himself, how many of them can stand up and speak for him?"

Sheng Mien, fight against Mien.

Building bridges and roads will leave no corpses, but killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt!

Hearing this, Long Yang clenched his fists and said with a hint of anger in his tone: "Don't worry, I dare not say that I can see through everything, but I will do my best to investigate this matter. If it is true as you said, Li Muwen deserves the punishment, I will make sure he gets the punishment he deserves. As for Mr. Zhao, I will also try to redress his grievances."

As he spoke, Long Yang stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them to show his gratitude: "Thank you for telling me this. Please believe that I, Long Yang, will live up to your trust and bring justice to this world."

Seeing this, the two of them quickly stood up and returned the greeting, with hope glittering in their eyes.

With the intervention of this Jinyiwei official, Mr. Zhao's grievances may really be redressed.

"Your Excellency, you are too polite. We are only doing what we should do. As long as you can seek justice for Mr. Zhao, we will not hesitate even if we are torn to pieces." One of them said excitedly.

"Yes, sir, we believe in you and the justice of the court. Please make sure to find out the truth and clear Mr. Zhao's name." Another person followed suit.

Long Yang nodded heavily.

.......

After bidding farewell to the two heroes in the tavern, Long Yang went straight to the county government office in Guangxi Prefecture.

The sunlight shone through the clouds, dappled onto his flying fish suit, adding a bit of majesty.

When he arrived at the county government office, he showed his badge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Immediately, everyone in the hall was shocked and no one dared to stop him.

When the magistrate learned that the Jinyiwei was coming in person, he hurried over from the back hall, his face full of smiles, but he could not hide his inner nervousness and uneasiness.

He bowed and asked carefully, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Long Yang looked at the magistrate with a sharp gaze and said, "I came here this time because of an old case involving the frame-up of Mr. Zhao. Bring me all the files related to this case. I want to check them myself."

Upon hearing this, the magistrate was reluctant in every way, but he did not dare to disobey the order of the Jinyiwei, so he had to order the secretary to bring the files quickly.

Soon, a thick stack of case files was placed in front of Long Yang.

He read it carefully, reviewing it word by word, with a frown on his face.

The general course of events gradually became clear in his mind.

After reviewing, Long Yang closed the file and glared at the magistrate: "Although these files are detailed, there is still one thing I don't understand. I hope the magistrate will enlighten me."

The magistrate was startled, knowing that the Jinyiwei had seen through the clues, so he had to bite the bullet and answer: "Please tell me, sir. I will tell you everything I know."

"Is Wang Fuchen related to this case?" Long Yang's words were concise and direct, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the county magistrate's heart.

The magistrate's face suddenly changed and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

But he didn't dare to hide anything in front of the Jinyiwei, so he could only stammer and say, "This...this...I have only heard a little bit about it, but I don't have any solid evidence."

When Long Yang saw this, he understood everything.

He sneered, stood up, and looked at him with a gleam of lightning: "Mr. Magistrate, as a local official, you should be the ruler of the people, but why do you turn a blind eye to such evil people? I advise you, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not tolerate it!"

After saying that, Long Yang turned around and was about to leave, leaving the pale, sweaty county magistrate standing there in a daze.

He understood that he was finished!
