Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Go ahead, close the road, and gather all the materials."

Qin Ming spoke to his soldiers.

Everyone nodded with a smile.

"okay!"

Now they are in a good mood and the anger they just had is completely gone.

These villagers have brought this upon themselves.

Soon, Qin Ming's decision spread to a house.

Li Erniu and Li Lianshan sat together. After hearing this decision, they were immediately filled with surprise.

"He...why is he like this?!"

Li Erniu slammed the table in anger.

"It's all your fault for coming up with such a bad idea. We absolutely cannot let go of the road!"

Li Lianshan glared at Li Erniu.

Li Erniu suddenly wilted. He might be arrogant to others, but this was his brother-in-law and his backer, so he didn't dare to say much.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Li Lianshan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and stared at Li Erniu.

"How about this? Go to the county and tell His Highness about your conflict. Then spread the news that he won't build the road for us. Then you can say that His Highness is being petty and is only retaliating against you."

This move was extremely vicious, turning the tables and shifting all the blame onto Qin Ming.

There is no mention of the cause of the incident, which was that they were blocking the road construction.

Li Erniu grinned.

"Okay, I'll try it then."

The next night, Qin Ming just returned to Linjiang City from the textile factory.

I saw a lot of people pointing fingers at me.

"what happened?"

Song Dingsheng came back with him and felt something was wrong when he saw the behavior of these people.

"I'll check it out."

Soon, Song Dingsheng's men came back and whispered a few words in his ear.

Song Dingsheng turned his head hesitantly and glanced at Qin Ming with a grim expression.

"Your Highness, rumors are spreading around Linjiang City that you targeted Li Erniu and specifically stopped them from traveling."

"Oh."

To Song Dingsheng's surprise, Qin Ming did not react at all.

Qin Ming understood the opponent's move very well.

It's just moral kidnapping.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming didn't buy it and wouldn't clarify it.

"Catch him and parade him through the streets. Since you say I'm targeting you, then I'll target you to the end."

"what!?"

This sentence scared Song Dingsheng.

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"

"What's inappropriate? This guy wasn't a good person to begin with. They just found a criminal record and arrested him."

Qin Ming shook his head and continued:

"If we still have morals when dealing with hooligans, wouldn't that just be putting several layers of shackles on ourselves?"

Be direct, it's better for everyone.

"I understand!"

Song Dingsheng was also unambiguous.

After returning to the yamen, he personally listed a long list of Li Erniu's crimes, including beating people, causing trouble, and stealing things.

Late at night, he rushed into Li Erniu's house with a large group of people.

"Get up! Hurry!"

"Who?!"

Li Erniu had just woken up and was yelling angrily.

When he turned around, he found that the lights outside the yard were bright, and his home had been surrounded by Song Dingsheng and his men.

"You've committed a crime, you know that?"

"What have I done wrong?"

Li Erniu looked confused.

Song Dingsheng didn't tell him that much.

"Get up, you'll know after you go to the government office!"

"I'm not going! You're retaliating!"

Li Erniu has already reacted.

Compared to himself, Qin Ming's methods are even more evil, and a little too evil!

"That's not up to you! Deduct it!"

"Yes!"

Plop, plop, muffled sounds were heard in the room.

Soon Li Erniu was put into a prison van and was driven slowly towards Linjiang City.

Early in the morning, people from all walks of life in Linjiang City get up and start working.

From a distance, I could hear the hustle and bustle of the street.

When I got closer, I found that it was Song Dingsheng himself who was driving the prison cart and parading through Linjiang City.

Those who had heard a lot of rumors yesterday now felt a chill down their spines.

"It seems that His Highness is really..."

"Shh, hold your tongue! Do you want to be like him?"

Now many people who like to gossip have all kept silent.

No one is a fool. Regardless of whether Qin Ming was really targeting Li Erniu before, his behavior has now confirmed it.

If anyone still dares to go against him, he is not taking his own life seriously.

“It’s really scary.”

Although the pedestrians on the street wanted to discuss it, they did not dare to do so.

They all lowered their heads and walked away quickly.

After bringing Li Erniu into the yamen, Song Dingsheng deliberately asked his men to open the door of the county yamen wider.

"what……!"

"what……!"

……

Soon, miserable screams were heard from inside.

During lunch, Qin Ming received the good news from Song Dingsheng.

Following that, there is also Changbai Mountain.

"Your Highness, dozens of villagers from Guangshui Village have come and want to see you."

"what happened?"

“They want you to build the road.”

"Oh?"

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows.

It seems that there are still some sensible people in Guangshui Village.

It’s just that in the past few years, he was suppressed by bullies like Li Erniu and had no say at all.

Today I saw Li Erniu being executed and he was beaten so severely.

They finally had the courage to come find Qin Ming.

"Bring it in."

Qin Ming also wanted to meet them and explain some things to them.

Soon, several old men brought a group of young people to Qin Ming and bowed down to him.

"Your Highness, please help us build the road."

"If the road isn't built, we won't be able to survive. Everyone else is selling their vegetables quickly, but we still have to run there ourselves..."

"It's all Li Erniu's fault! They were just repairing the road properly, why were they stopping you..."

……

They spoke while crying.

"Li Erniu's ideas differ from yours. Why didn't you say anything when he first said he wanted to stop the road construction?"

Qin Ming was not overwhelmed by their crying, but asked calmly.

Several people hurriedly said:

"We don't dare. Li Erniu has so many people and so much power. Only now that he's been captured by you, we dare to come and tell you."

"In that case, I will also give you a task."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, then said:

"When you go back, keep a close eye on Li Erniu. If he makes any unusual movements again, report it directly and someone will take care of it."

Qin Ming's move completely eliminated the possibility of Li Erniu acting arrogantly.

In fact, in addition to Guangshui Village, there are many other villages where village tyrants appear.

Li Erniu is just a typical example.

What Qin Ming told them today was not just giving them an imperial sword so that they could deal with these village tyrants at any time.

It also gave other villagers an example, which was enough to serve as a warning to the villagers so that they would not dare to bully the common people.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

When everyone saw that Qin Ming was willing to agree to rebuild the road and even protect themselves, they were immediately excited and left with many thanks.

Song Dingsheng sat nearby, observing the situation quietly.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

He was shocked and asked Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, did you intend to make this matter worse from the beginning?"
