The prince is very cruel

"Don't mess around!"

"I'll say it one last time, I didn't steal anything!"

But his warning was of no avail. Several burly men took the lead and hit him on the head with sticks. If he endured it any longer, he would be the one who got hurt.

Guan Ning had no choice but to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and punched out with great force.

The stick, which was as thick as an adult's arm, was broken in the air by his punch and exploded with a bang.

In an instant, the crowd fell silent.

Hundreds of people inside and outside the dock watched this scene, all of them dumbfounded and retreated in fear.

"Who else wants to come?!" Guan Ning shouted.

The sound was so loud that the faces of those who were rushing in the front changed. They held their weapons and dared not move forward.

The situation was at a stalemate, but at this time, several police captains wearing old-style black and red robes pushed through the crowd and came here.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"They beat people, they stole money, and they beat people!" The people around said in unison.

"My Lord, please help me!" As soon as he saw the captain, the young man immediately burst into tears and snot, as if he had rehearsed it in advance.

"You two, follow me!" the captain stepped forward and said coldly.

"Why should I go with you? We didn't steal anything, they framed us." Lou Xinyue is a proud and strong-willed person who will not compromise.

"Humph, whether he stole it or not, we'll know after we get to the yamen and interrogate him."

"You don't dare to leave. Are you feeling guilty?" The captain growled, his eyes becoming increasingly hostile as he pressed on step by step.

Lou Xinyue clenched her five fingers into a fist, her eyes turning cold.

Guan Ning quickly stood in front of her to stop her from attacking.

"We'll just go with you."

Upon hearing this, the constable gave up and said, "Hurry up, disperse, disperse."

The crowd then slowly dispersed.

"Why are you stopping me? Why are you going with them?" Lou Xinyue didn't understand.

Guan Ning was calm and looked at the young man who was traveling with him. "Someone is deliberately trying to trick us. If we don't follow the constables or arouse public anger, we will fall into their trap. Our troubles will only get worse and worse, and it will be difficult for us to stay in Shu."

Is someone deliberately messing with us?

Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes flashed, and a light bulb went off in her head as she thought of someone.

She and Guan Ning looked at each other, and they seemed to understand each other and think the same thing.

Two hours later, we arrived at Liuzhuang.

There is a large population here, at least the size of a county. It is located in a basin among the mountains, and the paths paved with bluestone and green tiles are full of history.

After the misty drizzle, the pavilions and huts remain, giving a sense of vastness as if entering the mountains and seeing greenery.

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

Such a dull sound was heard from the yamen, which had been silent for a long time, accompanied by the sound of boards hitting the ground, attracting many people from Liuzhuang to watch.

For ordinary people, such a sound is undoubtedly the judgment of the Ten Kings of Hell, and their legs would go weak when they hear it, but for Guan Ning, it is not scary.

"The interpreter is here!!" As the constable shouted, footsteps were heard behind the hall.

Guan Ning looked over and saw that it was a middle-aged man in his early forties with a goatee. He was wearing a light blue robe and looked very official.

Wait... isn't this?

He and Lou Xinyue looked at each other, both in surprise!

It turned out to be the owner of the cargo ship, Liu Jin!

At this moment, Liu Jin transformed himself from a businessman into a local lord in Liuzhuang. He sat on the armchair with a smug smile on his face.

He pretended to slam the gavel in anger.

Snapped!

"Who is there?!"

Swish, swish, swish, all the constables came over.

Guan Ning smiled, and his smile was very cold. When he saw that it was this guy, he understood everything. It turned out that this villain was the one causing trouble!

"Doesn't the Tongshi know?"

"presumptuous!"

"Just answer whatever I ask you!" Liu Jin shouted, showing off his official power.

"Okay, I'm Ning Fei." He said another alias lightly. The previous name Ning Que could no longer be used. After all, the palace guards had already suspected him and were hunting him down.

"Ning Fei, let me ask you, why don't you kneel!" Jealousy and resentment rose in Liu Jin's eyes. If you dare not give me face on the cargo ship, I will make you pay.

Guan Ning knew very well that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble with him to settle a personal grudge.

So he no longer had the attitude of trying to keep things quiet, and said calmly, "Why should you kneel?"

Snapped!

The gavel exploded.

Liu Jin suddenly stood up and shouted, "How dare you!"

"I am the interpreter of Liu Village. How dare you refuse to bow before an official?"

"I'll ask you one last time, are you going to kneel or not?"

Guan Ning stood lower down and looked up at Liu Jin, with a hint of disdain and contempt in the boy's eyes.

"According to the laws of the Wu Dynasty, one must bow when meeting an official."

"But sir, are you an official?"

"The constables here are at best yamen runners, not even receiving salaries from the imperial court. And you are just a paid clerk, not even a ninth-rank official. Why should I kneel?"

"Do you have no respect for the law?" He said contemptuously, and knocked back with a big hat.

"You!!" Liu Jin's face turned red instantly, like a clown. The word "cerebral hemorrhage" was almost mentioned, but he couldn't refute it!

Because he was indeed an official bought with money, and the constables were not considered public officials, and their salaries had to be paid by the local authorities themselves.

In the past, he relied on this dog skin to scare all the local people, and everyone thought he was a high-ranking official. Until today, he met Guan Ning who came from the capital.

Seeing this, Lou Xinyue, who was standing by, felt all the bad luck disappear from her heart. She couldn't help but look at Guan Ning again. This guy knew quite a bit.

"Haha, Lord Liu, it's you who has no respect for the law, not me."

"My knees just won't kneel. How about we go to a higher place to reason things out?" Guan Ning challenged.

Liu Jin clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and was furious. However, Guan Ning's twisted logic was indeed reasonable, and with so many people watching, he couldn't use extreme measures.
