The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Overwhelmed with emotion, the old man knelt down and begged the emperor.

"Sir, please save Meihua Town." The old man cried and recounted the evil deeds of the Lu brothers.

"This Lu County Magistrate is extremely despicable. He arbitrarily accused the original landlord of treason, forcing his family to commit suicide. He seized other people's land and forced us to pay land taxes.

In the past few years, when the harvest was poor, he forced us to pay off all our agricultural and sideline products. Now that we finally have such a good harvest, he and his brothers are going door to door to rob people. Sir, we ordinary people can't survive. Please, please help us. "

Listening to the old man's crying, tears flashed in Jingyan's eyes. These people were really miserable. It would not be an exaggeration to cut the Lu Bing brothers into pieces.

Qing'er was also very sad, and held Jingyan's hand to comfort each other.

Seeing this, Fu Ling'an silently decided to tell Governor Li later that these scumbags should not be beheaded so easily. Death would be too easy for them.

"The magistrate is supposed to be a caring official, serving the people and caring for them. I never thought this Lu soldier would exploit the people and use his official position as a tool to oppress them. It's truly despicable."

Yongheng was so angry that he wanted to twist his head off with his own hands.

The emperor looked at him approvingly when he heard this. It was good that the children had grown up and could distinguish right from wrong.

Although the emperor could not reveal his identity this time, he had already made up his mind that when he returned, he would publicize his incognito visit. By then, the people of Meihua Town would know that it was he who saved them.

The most urgent task was to deal with the scum like Lu Bing first. This matter naturally became the job of Governor Li. The emperor issued a death order and no mercy was allowed!

"Lu Bing, as a local official, you not only fail to love your hometown and its people, but you have also wrongfully killed common people. You have also teamed up with your brother to rob and prey on the people! If I don't chop off your head, I will never win over the people!

"Master Li, I'll leave this matter to you. Imprison Lu Bing and this gang of bullies. Investigate Lu Bing's wrongful convictions and corruption. If the evidence is conclusive, confiscate his property and execute him!"

As if he still felt unsatisfied, he added at the end, "No need to wait until autumn, execute him immediately!"

The emperor was furious, and Governor Li did not dare to delay and immediately ordered his men to arrest Lu Bing and the group of bullies.

"Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life."

But at this point, no matter how much the group of people begged for mercy, it was too late. What awaited them was either death or imprisonment.

It's so happy!

I believe that when this corrupt official and bully are beheaded, everyone in Meihua Town, young and old, will go to watch the execution.

Seeing that the evildoers had been punished, the old man took the lead in expressing his gratitude, "Thank you very much, sir. You saved our entire Plum Blossom Town. I just don't know your name, so we can know who our benefactor is."

The emperor waved his fan and smiled mysteriously, "I was just passing through here for pleasure. I saw injustice and came to the aid of the injustice. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Seeing this, Ziwei stepped forward and helped the old man up from his knees: "Old man, our Huang and Master Ai are leading a group of us young people out for fun. We don't want to make a big scene, so please don't mind it."

Ziwei's words made Jingyan's heart skip a beat. What was Ziwei doing? Adding drama to herself?

She looked at the old man nervously again, fearing that Ziwei's words would make the old man see through the emperor's identity.

However, the old man was also a shrewd person. Seeing this, he guessed the emperor's identity. Knowing that the emperor did not want to reveal his identity, he said: "Thank you very much, sir, for saving my life."

All the people shouted together: "Thank you for saving our lives!"

After dealing with the matters in Meihua Town and rejecting the kind invitations of the people, the few of them continued their journey.

The emperor said: "No officials will bully you anymore. You can continue to beat the waist drums to celebrate the harvest. Don't let them spoil your fun. We should hurry on our way. If we stay any longer, we will be disturbing the people."

The villagers accompanied them to the outskirts of the city. Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi also received a set of waist drums and costumes from the villagers, saying they would take them back to show Concubine Yu.

The two of them were happily playing waist drums as they walked. Seeing this, Benjamin sighed softly, "You two are truly a perfect match."

Qing'er smiled and said, "Benjamin, you are a foreigner and your Chinese is not very good. They cannot be described as the golden boy and the jade girl. They should be said to be a pair of happy brother and sister. Speaking of which, Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi are quite similar." They both love to play.

Yongqi's face froze immediately.

The emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this. "When I was young, I also loved to play. They both have my blood flowing through their bodies. They are 100% like me. Hahahaha."

When Little Swallow heard the emperor say that she looked like him, she was even happier and jumped into the carriage with the emperor.

It was just that the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously, so Ziwei and Erkang couldn't laugh anymore.

Looking at Ziwei'er and Kang Yongqi with sad faces, Jingyan felt happy and pulled Qing'er into the carriage happily.

Ziwei, however, remained silent and grieved. The Emperor had just said that Xiaoyanzi resembled him? She wondered if the Emperor would regret what he had said today when he found out that Xiaoyanzi wasn't his biological daughter.

Ziwei looked at Erkang who was concerned about her. She pretended to be strong and forced a smile.

Erkang understood Ziwei's sadness and comforted her softly: "Take your time, he will eventually understand."

Ziwei didn't say anything, but gave him a smile that was uglier than crying, and got on the carriage.

Fu Ling'an, who had been silent in the back, carefully observed the performance of the two, and a terrible guess came to his mind.

After everyone left, Fu Ling'an called out the secret guards: "Mozhu, send a few reliable people back to the capital to investigate Huanzhu Gege and her maid, as well as Fu Erkang and the Fu Mansion, to see if they have any connection. If you can't find anything, don't alert them!"

Mo Zhu rarely saw his general so serious. Knowing that this matter was of great importance, he went there without stopping.

Inside the carriage, the emperor looked at Ziwei, who had lagged behind the others and waited a long time before getting on board. He asked with concern, "Why are you so slow, Ziwei? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ziwei's originally lost heart was excited again after receiving the emperor's care.

She waved her hands somewhat flattered, and with those loving eyes she looked at the emperor and replied delicately, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Ziwei is fine."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyanzi smiled carelessly and said, "Ziwei is just a bit slow, it's nothing." She must have just been talking to Erkang again.

Looking at the heartless Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei felt a surge of resentment for no reason.

If only she had been the one to crawl into the enclosure, she would have been openly cared for by the Emperor, loved by the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and she wouldn't have to call herself a slave.

Xiaoyanzi, why did you so readily agree to take my token and leave?

Xiaoyanzi, was the situation in the palace really so urgent that you couldn't tell the truth?

Or is it that being the emperor's daughter is too happy and you can't bear to give it up?
