However, from the appearance of Zhuo Jing and others to now.

This went on for quite a while, and even if they were dull, ignorant, or incredulous, they should have reacted by now.

Among the crowd kneeling on the ground in unison.

I don't know who came back to his senses first. A hint of joy appeared on his numb and dazed face, and his dead eyes seemed to suddenly come alive, with a bright color: "Long live His Majesty! Long live! Long, long live!"

After a thank you, the man immediately looked around and shouted: "It's Your Majesty... Someone is coming to save us! Someone is coming to save us!"

As this voice sounded.

Suddenly, like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, the faces of the people around him began to light up, and they also started to shout "Long live the emperor!" and shouted excitedly: "It's true! It's true! There's an imperial decree, look, everyone is kneeling to him! Li Shunan, that damn son of a bitch, has to kneel to him too!"

"Haha! Hahahahaha! To think... to think someone would actually come to save us!? God has eyes! Your Majesty, please open your eyes!"

"Skinned and stuffed with straw... I never thought that although His Majesty is young, he already has the demeanor of the previous emperor! The previous emperor hated corrupt officials and killed them, peeling their skin and stuffing it with straw. The current emperor also hates corrupt officials and is a good emperor. They are all good emperors! Skinned and stuffed with straw... they deserve it! They deserve it!"

Someone gnashed his teeth, anger blazing in his eyes, and scolded.

What the people fear most are corrupt officials, and what they hate most are also corrupt officials. If the emperor, the father of the people, is willing to punish them severely, they will of course welcome it, especially since they themselves have been suffering greatly from them for several months and are in great pain. They already wish to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

But in the eyes of the people.

They could not understand the intrigues and disputes in the court. They only understood one truth: a good emperor is one who makes decisions for the people!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you very much, Your Majesty! Thank you, Imperial Envoy!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

"..."

"This little He brother... uh, no, it's... Lord He! He's actually a high-ranking official from the capital sent here by the imperial envoy to conduct a secret investigation? No wonder he's been muttering about someone coming these past few days... We just thought he was trapped here all of a sudden and went crazy!"

"Ha! Hahahaha! Yesterday he was asking questions to this and that, and I even complained that he was disturbing my sleep. It turns out he was just waiting to make the decision for us..."

The people who said these words were naturally the miners who had dealt with He San in the past two days. After they recovered from the huge shock and disbelief, they reacted belatedly.

And at the same time.

Li Shunan, who was kicked to the ground by Yang Daqiang, as well as the trembling supervisors and Li Shunan's clansmen... could only stare with horror, looking up at the imperial edict in Zhuo Jing's hand, opening their mouths but unable to utter a word.

Even a faint stench could be smelled in the air.

Apparently, someone was frightened to death.

Skinning and stuffing...

This punishment was invented by Emperor Taizu of this dynasty specifically to punish corrupt officials. Even though they had never seen it, they had all heard of it.

this kind of thing.

Not to mention that it is about to fall on their heads.

Even when it had nothing to do with me before, if I just think about it and it even slightly relates to me, my scalp will tingle and I will shudder...

Even Yang Daqiang gasped. The fine beads of sweat on his forehead turned into bean-sized drops of sweat, which flowed down his cheeks and dripped onto the snow, melting into small holes...

After two days of contact, he had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person Zhuo Jing, the imperial envoy, was. Although he himself was completely unaware of it, he could not escape the charge of negligence and incompetence.

Originally, he might have thought that he could fight for it.

But he never expected it.

His Majesty was so brutal in his actions, he simply learned the ruthlessness of the late emperor to the utmost!

"This..." Yang Daqiang was still kneeling on the ground, his chest heaving violently with nervousness and fear. After a moment, he bit his tongue, the fishy-sweet taste spreading in his mouth. He forced himself to calm down, his eyes stern, and he looked at Zhuo Jing and said, "Master Zhuo..."

But these words have just been spoken.

Zhuo Jing gave him a sidelong glance and blocked his words: "I can probably guess what Captain Yang is going to say, so there's no need to say it. Your Majesty is wise and will not allow anyone to suffer injustice, but he will also not let any guilty person go. This is what Your Majesty sent me here to do!"

As soon as he said this.

The already excited miners' eyes became even more enthusiastic: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!!"

Some people had faces covered in black dust from the mines.

There were even two tear marks washed out by tears...

Their original despair.

It was because they knew Li Shunan's methods and the meticulous way he arranged things, which made it seem like there was no possibility for them to escape.

At the same time, wasn't it because he knew... that his status was lowly, his life was worth less than grass, and that he was always trampled upon in this world? Wasn't it because he felt... that no one would truly care or pay attention to someone like him?

But now they saw the people sent by His Majesty coming.

After they were pulled out, His Majesty said that they would not be wronged or wronged. His Majesty said... that any guilty person would be punished for them...

How can we keep them from being moved?

Hearing the excited and enthusiastic voices of the crowd, Zhuo Jing took a look and seemed to realize something. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Because of the corrupt officials, you have suffered here. The imperial edict has already been read. The sky is freezing and the ground is cold. Just get up early."
