The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

Watching Benjamin leave angrily, Jingyan felt a little sympathy for him.

How can it be funny? Someone did a good deed but was called a water ghost. Who wouldn't be depressed? Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi laughed at him without any hesitation.

Not only is their happiness built on the suffering of others, but they also laugh endlessly. Benjamin was almost furious, but they still kept laughing. They were so heartless.

If she were Benjamin, she would have twisted their heads off and kicked them like balls.

In other words, Benjamin, this good guy, has a very good temper.

After changing his clothes, Benjamin rode his horse dejectedly at the end of the team.

Along the way, everyone treated him as a monster. Perhaps this world really did not belong to him.

Ertai and Fu Kang'an rode to the end of the team and found him.

"Benjamin! Are you still angry?"

Seeing that it was the two of them, Benjamin sighed, "I'm not angry, I'm just depressed. It seems like everywhere I go along the way, I'm treated like a monster. This feeling is really not pleasant."

They all understood Benjamin's feelings. It was okay at other times, maybe the people just talked about it in a low voice.

But this time, Benjamin jumped into the river to save someone out of kindness and disregarded the danger. Not only was he not thanked, but he was also called a water ghost. In addition, Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi rubbed salt into Benjamin's wounds and laughed at him wildly. It's no wonder that Benjamin was depressed.

Fu Kangan stretched out his arm and patted Benjamin on the shoulder: "Benjamin, you have to understand that you are a foreigner. These ordinary people have never seen you before. You may say they are ignorant, but I think most of them have no ill intentions."

Ertai nodded: "Yes, Benjamin, if they go to your country, they might also be regarded as aliens. You don't have to worry too much."

"Yeah, anyway, you've already saved the person, so that's your success. As long as you achieved your original intention of saving people, why bother about what others say?"

Thinking of Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi, Ertai felt a headache: "Xiaoyanzi's character is that she loves to laugh at others. Just ignore her. She will forget about it after a while."

Benjamin felt warm at heart when he saw the two of them racking their brains to comfort themselves.

He smiled slightly and nodded heavily. Fortunately, he still had a few friends.

The group arrived at the next town at noon.

It happened to be a market day, so we all dismounted and walked around, trying to find a place to have lunch.

Xiaoyanzi was attracted by the calligraphy and painting stall on the roadside and pulled Yongqi over to have a look.

Jingyan just took a glance and looked away without much interest. Sorry, she was only interested in what to eat for lunch.

The group found a restaurant with a decent customer flow. Yongheng walked in and shouted proudly, "Boss, give me two servings of all your signature dishes."

There were so many of them that they had to sit at two tables.

After several people sat down, E Min began to report the situation he had just inquired about whenever he had the chance.

"Master, the county magistrate here is Duan Kui, and his reputation isn't very good."

Jingyan listened silently with his ears perked up, silently admiring E Min's omnipotence. She was the busiest person during the emperor's incognito tours, no doubt about it.

The second busiest person is Fu Ling'an. He is now responsible for keeping an eye on Fu Erkang. Along the way, many secret guards have been secretly reporting back and forth on Fu Erkang's movements.

But, the county magistrate's name was Duan Kui? She had no recollection of that.

Jingyan was bored and waiting for the food to be served. However, as soon as the food was served and before he had time to taste it, he heard a commotion on the street.

"The bailiffs are beating people! The bailiffs are beating people!"

The people who were just bustling about in the crowds suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and the people who were eating in the restaurant also became panicked.

When the emperor heard the bailiffs beating people, he immediately stood up.

Several people followed the emperor to the door, and sure enough, they saw a group of yamen runners holding boards rushing out.

The boards either hit the people or their stalls. The scene was in chaos and everything was smashed to pieces in a short while.

Some elderly people who ran slowly were surrounded by a group of yamen runners and beaten severely, and the people cried for mercy in pain.

Being so arrogant, beating people in the street and gang-raping civilians is simply lawless!

Xiaoyanzi stepped forward to stop him, but she didn't expect the yamen runner to be so arrogant. "The government collects taxes, what does it have to do with you?"

The emperor asked, "The government you are talking about, is it Duan Kui's government office?"

"How dare you call out our county magistrate's full name!"

When the emperor heard this, he knew that it was Duan Kui, who had a bad reputation, who was his man. It was disgusting that he had to meet corrupt officials again!

"You corrupt officials are simply despicable! Show them some of yourselves!"

Several young men had been eager to take action for a long time. Upon hearing this, they stepped forward and started fighting with the yamen runners.

Looking at this scene, Jingyan finally remembered that these yamen runners were the poor people who were beaten with boards.

Sure enough, Xiaoyanzi accidentally kicked one of them in the butt.

The yamen runner jumped three feet high, covering his butt and screaming.

The tone also changed from the arrogance and threats just now to begging for mercy.

But Xiaoyanzi didn't care about all this. She seemed to have found something good. She laughed evilly and kicked the yamen runners in the buttocks.

"Auntie, stop kicking my butt, it hurts!"

Seeing this, Yongqi shouted, "These yamen runners are behaving strangely. Why can't we kick their butts? Xiaoyanzi, then just kick their butts!"

Yongqi guessed that their buttocks were injured, so he kicked them accurately.

Looking at those yamen runners who were covering their buttocks and howling, Jing Yan felt pained. Knowing that they were also pitiful people, he quietly tugged at the master's sleeve and said, "Uncle, please tell them to stop. I always feel that there is something wrong with these yamen runners."

The emperor naturally noticed that something was wrong with them. Why did they scream so miserably when they were kicked in the butt?

Fu Ling'an received the emperor's signal and stepped forward to stop the fight.

Little Swallow was still unsatisfied and yelled, "Hey! I haven't had enough!"

Jing Yan asked loudly: "Why did you hit people for no reason?"

The head of the yamen runners sighed, "We are here to collect taxes, but they can't pay them."

The emperor became even angrier when he heard this. "Can't you just collect taxes properly? Does that mean you can beat people up if they can't pay the taxes?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the yamen runner burst into tears: "We have no choice. The county magistrate ordered us to close the case today. If we don't, we will be dead. The county magistrate has already caned us yesterday. Each of us received twenty strokes of the cane!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

When Xiaoyanzi heard this, she finally understood why they said spanking was not allowed.

She felt a little ashamed and stepped forward to help the man up: "Twenty lashes, so you really have injuries on your bodies."

When the people heard this, they began to talk about it.

"The county magistrate is known for his tyranny, using torture to extract confessions. I never thought he could be so cruel to his own subordinates."

"Yes, with a county magistrate like this, how can we ordinary people still have a way to survive?"
