The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

The man trembled and said, "Yes, it's the magistrate."

The head of a county actually used his official position to coerce and bribe innocent people.

Absolutely ridiculous!

Qi Yu was furious and ordered Jiang Zhi to release the people. After a quick search, he went to Tiao County next to Tong Village.

The situation in Tiao County was almost the same as that in Tong Village. When the people saw someone breaking in with weapons, they dodged and fled in all directions. Qi Yu and others did not go anywhere else, but went straight to the county government office, but they found it was deserted.

"Tiao County is so big, but the magistrate ran away?"

It is really strange that there is such a strange sight under the feet of the emperor.

Qi Yu sneered. As expected, if he didn't go down to the people, he wouldn't know their sufferings. If he didn't personally inspect them, he wouldn't see this scene.

"Looks like there's no need to go to other villages, Brother Zhao, let's go directly to Duping County."

It seems that there is something interesting waiting for them in the fiefdom of Concubine Su's mother's family.

Sure enough, after two days of hiking, when everyone arrived at Duping County, the county city gate across the river was closed, and there were soldiers guarding the city walls, as if it had been taken under control.

Seeing Qi Yu and others, the soldiers aimed their bows and said, "Whoever is rioting below, get out of the way immediately."

"Humph, you stole our food and you're still so arrogant. Who did it? Stand up right here. As long as you return our things, we will not make trouble. Otherwise..." Zhao Li roared, "Don't blame us for being rude!"

"You are so arrogant! If you won't move, come on, shoot!"

At the command of the people on the city wall, five archers shot arrows at the same time.

Qi Yu and others had originally come with great momentum, but seeing this situation, the fugitives were frightened, but they had no way to escape.

Qi Yu shouted "Jiang Zhi", and Jiang Zhi received the order and flew up. With just a sword flower with the spear in his hand, he blocked all the flying arrows and protected everyone behind him.

"You dare to harm the imperial officials, even if Duping County is under the control of Concubine Su, what does it matter?"

Zhao Li was furious. He showed his official token, used his brother's shoulders as a cushion, tapped his toes, and easily jumped onto the city wall with his excellent lightness skills.

The soldiers on the city wall did not expect that the newcomer had extraordinary martial arts skills, and were about to resist. Below, Qi Yu picked up the arrow on the ground, gathered strength in his palm, and shot without a bow. The arrow accurately hit the jade crown on the leader's head.

"what!"

The man screamed and his face turned pale.

Zhao Li used this as a hostage, holding him in his arms, and said to the others, "Everyone, get out of the way! Open the city gates and let our people in. We are only trying to take back the food that was stolen. You were the ones who stole our food first!"

The frightened man shouted something, and the city gate was opened. Jiang Zhi supported Qi Yu and led the rest of the people into the city.

What a great Duping County.

The surrounding buildings are magnificent, the houses are clean and tidy, and scattered businesses can be seen on the streets. It is a world of difference from Huai Village.

“Isn’t there drought and famine here?”

"No, that is our rice. That bag of rice was clearly given to us by the gods."

Zhao Li's men soon discovered something was wrong.

In the distance, a man carrying a bag of rice seemed to hear the noise and ran away.

Seeing this, everyone immediately gave chase.

On the spacious streets, people were in chaos. Some were chasing with hoes, and some were slashing with long knives. Panic soon arose. The few vendors hurriedly packed up their stalls, and the people also closed their homes and hid.

Soon, the county town seemed like a deserted city.

"Where did the people go?"

Zhao Li was panting and didn't see anyone.

He was so angry that he punched the person next to him on the back of the head, "Damn it, how did you lose me?"

Just as the subordinate was about to explain, a vermilion carved door suddenly opened from behind the crowd, and a man wearing a Tibetan gown, with a ruddy complexion and a full forehead walked out with a swagger.

"Oh, he's just a small yamen runner, but he has such great authority!"

Everyone turned around and met the man in front of them. They saw dozens of soldiers following the man.

Qi Yu noticed the difference immediately. He moved behind Zhao Li and said, "It's someone from the military camp."

The soldiers in the military camp disguised themselves as officers and soldiers and hid behind this person from Duping County. It was obvious that this person was the princess of Duping County?

Zhao Li frowned. Before he could speak, the man spoke first, "My Lord, how can you still be so embarrassed to face others? Why do you have to hide behind others? If you see anything, you can just say it out loud. What's the matter? Are you afraid of me?"

With just one sentence, the scene instantly quieted down.

Zhao Li's men hid behind Zhao Li, the fugitives hid behind the officials, and only Jiang Zhi stood in front of Qi Yu.

Seeing that Qi Yu was about to suffer, Zhao Li was the first to stand up and said, "I don't care who you are. Did you lead people to rob our food?"

Zhao Liben was a rough man, and with a loud roar, he quickly gave everyone a sense of security. Everyone who came shouted loudly: "Those who stole our food, give us back our food!"

The man looked at the dozen or so people below, all with different figures and weapons. He sneered and said slowly, "I sent people to rob them. What can you do to me?"

"you……"

"Su Guangwei, it's been a long time since we last met."

Qi Yu pushed Jiang Zhi away, put his hands behind his back, and slowly raised his head. Despite the inconvenience of his legs, he still stood there with a strong and resolute demeanor, and his temperament was innate.

"As the Princess of Duping County, you actually robbed the people of their rations. Su Guangwei, do you really have no respect for the law?"

"Huh, the law?"

Su Guangwei laughed out loud, "My cousin is the emperor's favorite concubine, and you're telling me the law?"

His narrow, almond-shaped eyes half-closed. "Now the drought is everywhere, from Huai Village to Duping County. Since you have grain, you should distribute it, but you are secretly hoarding it. I haven't filed a complaint with Concubine Su, and you dare to come here to ask for it?"

As if he had heard a huge joke, Su Guangwei made a gesture and suddenly many disguised soldiers jumped down from various rooftops.

"Let's see who dares to act rashly in my Duping County today!"

He said arrogantly, "Qi Yu, now that you are no longer the crown prince, what's wrong with me stealing your food?"

No wonder Su Guangwei is so arrogant. He has the support of the people in the military camp and Concubine Su as his backer. Of course he acts recklessly and is fearless.

If Qi Yu loses to him today, he will never have peace in the future.

So, why would he be afraid?

"Then it must be... snatched back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yu flew up, and even though he was standing on one leg, he still defeated Su Guangwei's men.

"Brothers, charge! Take back our food! It's our life!"

Zhao Li immediately led his men to join in the attack, attacking from both sides to cooperate with Qi Yu.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Qi Yu has never been stupid. He was willing to go into exile because he wanted to atone for Chen'er's death. Now that he has figured it out, he naturally wants to seize every opportunity to go back. If Su Guangwei wants to stop him, it depends on whether he has the ability to do so!

Qi Yu moved behind Su Guangwei like a dragon, and with just a few moves, he controlled Su Guangwei in his arms.

"Su Guangwei, do you think Imperial Concubine Su will protect you forever? Unfortunately, we are too far away from the Imperial City!"

No one can come to save him!
