The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows: "Have you been here?"

Lou Xinyue looked at him with a meaningful look: "Have you forgotten?"

"Your lover, the Holy Lotus Sect witch, Hai Mei, is in Guangdong and Guangxi. I have had many conflicts with her."

A demonic figure instantly emerged in Guan Ning's mind, like a nine-tailed fox demon, the kind of peerless beauty who could scare a man to death with just a slight breath!

He couldn't help but shudder: "Ahem!"

"What are you talking about? What lover? You're just looking for trouble!"

Lou Xinyue sneered: "If it's not you, why are you so nervous? Is there really something going on between you and that witch?"

Guan Ning curled his lips: "What could be the problem!"

"It's better not to!" Lou Xinyue warned. She and Hai Mei are incompatible. If Guan Ning really dares to have an affair with that witch, she will really split the sky with one sword!

Therefore, when entering Guangdong and Guangxi, she stayed close to him, fearing that the bitch would provoke Guan Ning.

Guan Ning was about to say something when suddenly, a noisy and chaotic sound came from the street, attracting his attention.

boom!

"No, no!"

"Don't fight!"

"It's a bushel of rice, this is it!"

"Is this a fight? You even dare to lie to me. I'll beat you to death!"

Snap, snap!!

A police officer was beating a ragged middle-aged man with a whip. The man's mother came out to plead for mercy, kneeling on the ground to beg, but was beaten as well.

"no, do not want!"

"Master, please, don't do it. This is all I have."

"Oh God, do you want me to live or not?" The middle-aged man wailed and cried, protecting his mother, looking extremely pitiful.

There were many passersby on the roadside, some with sympathetic eyes, but no one dared to come out to stop it.

Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue frowned almost at the same time.

Beat the elderly too?

"Stop!" Guan Ning shouted.

Swish swish!

Countless eyes seemed to be filled with surprise. How dare you interfere in government affairs?

The whip stopped, and the officer panted, looking at him with an unhappy look: "Where did you come from, you young brat? How dare you interfere in the affairs of our grain officer?"

"Get out of here right now, or I'll beat you up too!"

Guan Ning's eyes were slightly cold as he glanced at the man and his old mother. Although he was dissatisfied with the actions of these officials, he needed to keep a low profile now that he had come to Guangdong and Guangxi.

So he didn't make a move, but stepped forward and said, "I just heard you say that he hasn't paid all the food. How much is still missing?"

"I'll give it to him."

Upon hearing this, the officer jokingly said, "Oh, a kind-hearted man has come."

"You help him give it?"

"Okay!"

"One more bushel left!"

The middle-aged man was furious when he heard this: "No, I just fought a fight..."

"You still dare to be stubborn!" The officer was furious and raised his whip.

"Stop!" Guan Ning yelled.

"One bucket, right?"

"Here it is for you!"

He casually took off his bag from his horse, which contained a lot of fine grains, all of which were given to him by the elders and villagers when he left Fengdu River. He could not finish it all along the way.

boom!

He threw it on the ground.

When the officer saw this, he opened it and took a look. His eyes lit up. He weighed the box and found it was definitely more than a dou.

"good very good!"

"Liu Xiucai, you are lucky to have met a good person!"

"However, if you can't hand over the food for the next three months, I will still kill you!"

"Hmph, let's go!"

After a few officers said something, they walked away. Others avoided them. It seemed that they were used to abusing their power. In this way, they were actually no different from Fengdu River.

It's just that the way of eating people is different.

Guan Ning stepped forward at this time and together with Lou Xinyue helped the middle-aged man and his mother up.

"Benefactor, you shouldn't have given it to them!"

"They just want to cheat you of your food. I...what can I give you in return?" The middle-aged man broke down and cried. Anyone could feel his despair and helplessness.

Maybe a bucket of rice is nothing, but for the lower-class people in marginal areas of Wu Dynasty, it is life!

"I don't want you to pay it back."

"Do not worry."

"You are seriously injured. Let me take you to the clinic first." Guan Ning said.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, benefactor, it's okay, it's just a little skin broken, I don't need to go."
