Rebirth of the Prophet Strikes Back

Qin Qianye nodded, "If that's the case, why do you still have dry rice here?"

"This one was kept by the little one. I thought I couldn't bear it anymore so I boiled it down and drank it to satisfy my cravings. I didn't expect the nobleman to come today, and the little one was taken out." The shopkeeper said sincerely, but he also looked at it On the face of silver.

"Is it still possible to buy rice in the city?"

"Yes, but the price is outrageously expensive. The government and businessmen have colluded for a long time. Knowing that it is a famine era, the businessmen only supply the rice to the government, and keep the rest for themselves."

"What was the price of a bucket of rice before? What is the price of a bucket of rice now?"

"In the past, the price of a bucket of rice was half a penny, but now the price of a bucket of rice is one centimeter."

Half a penny is five Wenqian, ten Wenqian is one penny, ten penny is one centimeter, and ten centimeters is one tael of silver.

"How dare you turn over so much at once? The government is really brave." Qin Qianye's phoenix eyes were full of anger.

When the shopkeeper saw his angry face, he trembled with fright.

"Shopkeeper, please go and bake us some food like sweet potatoes and potatoes. This is silver." Shan Ling took out another ingot of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, who waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no." Well, sweet potatoes and potatoes are worthless, and the silver you just gave me has not been used up, and I happen to have some baked ones, if you don’t mind, I’ll go and get them."

Received Shan Ling's nod, the shopkeeper hurried out and brought some sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Seeing Qin Qianye's angry face, his face was as cold as ice, Shan Ling pursed his lips and stepped forward, reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, looking at him with worried eyes.

Of course, Qin Qianye would not show any anger towards his little concubine. He restrained his expression and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we will have to interrogate the magistrate."

At this critical juncture, he actually pulled so much money out of the city, which is really extremely corrupt.

After a few people had a simple meal, Qin Qianye stood up and ordered, "Baifeng, go and investigate the governor, magistrate and county government here, and tell me all the situation when you come back."

"Yes." Liu Baifeng bowed his head.

"I'll go too, I'll go too..." Bai Limu said hurriedly.

Liu Baifeng glanced at him.

Qin Qianye nodded, and then took Shan Ling's hand to the room where the magistrate was held alone. The magistrate was tied up all over, and a note was stuffed in his mouth. When he saw the two people walking in, he immediately opened his eyes wide. Eyes gestured for the two to untie him, Shan Ling stepped forward and took down the cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, and the magistrate immediately said in a hurry, "You rascals are so courageous, do you know who I am? Just dare

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shan Ling stuffed the cloth strip into the prefect's mouth again, and the prefect glared at the two of them with a pair of staring big eyes.

Qin Qianye looked at the magistrate coldly with his phoenix eyes, and said coldly, "If you say one more word of nonsense, I will cut off one of your fingers, and if you say more than ten words of nonsense, I will cut off your hands."

Although Qin Qianye himself is handsome and extraordinary, his domineering aura makes people shudder. No one will not be intimidated by his aura, especially these corrupt officials.

Under Qin Qianye's signal, Shan Ling took off the cloth strip from the magistrate's mouth again. Although the magistrate was very afraid of Qin Qianye in his heart, but

Still a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, "I, I can tell you, I offended me... ah..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Shan Ling who was standing beside him mercilessly took out a dagger and chopped off one finger.

Although Shan Ling is young, he is not afraid of these things. After all, he is also Prince Shan's young master. He grew up in the frontier and is used to life and death.

Besides, this is what his brother said, so of course he will do it.

In fact, Shan Ling doesn't look like a very well-behaved person, it's just that no one usually provokes him. If anyone really provokes him, he will be very scary when he gets angry.

Now, the magistrate has provoked him.

Qin Qianye looked at the bloodthirsty appearance of his little princess, ruthless and ruthless, and suddenly made him feel that he was really happy.

His little princess is only so well-behaved when facing him, as docile as a kitten, but when dealing with others, he is a little leopard showing its sharp claws, who dares to offend him, He scratches anyone.

"Do you still want to talk nonsense?" Qin Qianye looked at him coldly.

The magistrate's whole face was distorted in pain. Just as he opened his mouth to yell, he caught a glimpse of the young boy standing beside him. The young boy was holding a delicate dagger in his hand. The handle of the small dagger There are several beautiful gemstones inlaid on it. At first glance, it is a priceless dagger.

This dagger was given to Shan Ling by Qin Qianye. Of course, it is the best thing to give to a loved one. What's more, as his prince, not only the handle is inlaid with gems, but the outer shell of the dagger is even more beautiful. Inlaid with countless precious stones, it usually shines brightly in the sun. Shan Ling always thought this dagger was too gorgeous, so he kept it close to his body but seldom used it. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

The magistrate is also a person with good eyesight. After seeing this dagger, he looked at the two of them again. They were both very particular about their clothes and clothes, and they still had that kind of aristocratic and dignified temperament on their bodies. And these two people are definitely not from Yizhou. If they were from Yizhou, he would have known each other a long time ago, so these two people can only come from other places.

The magistrate thought he was unlucky, and immediately put on a sneer, "Sorry, I'm blind, I don't know where the two young masters are from?"

"The capital." Qin Qianye said coldly.

The magistrate's face suddenly changed drastically, the sneer stiffened on his face, and he watched the two stammeringly asked with trembling voices, "Beijing...

Qin Qianye glanced at him coldly and asked, "Nowadays, so many people in Yizhou have died of famine and plague, but the government doesn't care about anything. Why are you taking so much money out of the city?"

"I...I..." The magistrate's anxious forehead was covered with cold sweat. After knowing that the two came from the capital, he became afraid, and quickly knelt down and said, "Young masters, I...I want to show filial piety to you." For His Royal Highness, if the two young masters want... think... I can also show filial piety to the two young masters. I also hope that the two young masters will not tell the situation here to the capital, nor will it be passed on to the ears of His Royal Highness. "

"Honoring His Highness the Crown Prince?" Qin Qianye sneered, "How much money do you have in total?"

"5000 taels." The magistrate answered truthfully.

"Oh!" Qin Qianye really didn't know what to say now, he stood up angrily and kicked the prefect's chest fiercely, knocking the prefect to the ground, he said coldly , "You are really brave. The people in Yizhou starved to death and died of illness. As the parent and official here, you just ignore them, and you have searched out so much money. To honor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you, the magistrate, are really enough."

The magistrate was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground. Although he still didn't understand the identities of the two young masters in front of him, but they came from the capital, but they were so angry. They must be young masters from wealthy families in the capital.

"Brother Prince, such a dog official, he can simply be killed." Shan Ling said.

He called out the identity of the young man in front of him in an instant, the magistrate was so frightened that he almost fainted, and his body kneeling on the ground trembled like chaff, stammering, unable to even speak Asked, "Mrs...His Royal Highness... Hasn't the honor guard of His Royal Highness arrived yet?"

"What? When I arrive, can you arrange everything?" Qin Qianye stepped forward with a sneer, and kicked the magistrate again.

At this time, the door was knocked, and Liu Baifeng and Bailimu walked in from the outside. Liu Baifeng glanced at the people in the room, and then said to Qin Qianye, "Your Highness, my subordinates have already found out Well, the people here have long given up hope for the government in Yizhou, so the subordinates quickly found out the situation here. The governor of Yizhou Ruan Tianhua and the prefect Luqiu Wen colluded with the local wealthy businessmen. Not only have they raised the price of food, but they have also raised the price of medicine dozens of times. Not only that, but they have also intensified their search for people's fat and people's cream. The annual tax, which the imperial court requires is [-]%, they have intensified their efforts to collect a full Seventy percent of the people here will die every year because of the famine, and this year because of the famine, the imperial court exempted several states from taxes, but the government here still collects the taxes from the people. Those who have daughters must be sold into brothels forcibly and sold themselves to pay back the taxes. Those who have no daughters will have their sons go to work as coolies on the construction site. on taxes."

"Bold, you really are lawless." In a rage, Qin Qianye pulled out the sword from Liu Baifeng's waist, and before the prefect had time to intercede, he cut off the prefect's head with one sword.

The magistrate was ordered immediately.

Everyone looked at this scene without any expression on their faces. The magistrate deserved it, but he is so plundering the people's fat and anointing. Such a person should have been killed a long time ago.

Qin Qianye threw away the sword in his hand, his phoenix eyes cast a cold glance at the dead magistrate, and asked, "Where's the county government office?"

"The county magistrate here should be regarded as a good person." Liu Baifeng said, "The county magistrate Liu Cheng is relatively upright, and he is also a very intelligent person. He has been the county magistrate of Yizhou for so many years, and has been They are both cool-hearted, and have never joined forces with the magistrate and the others, but they have not yet been squeezed out by them. It is a pity that his official position is too small. Although he has intentions, he is powerless. I talked to the governor several times, but he was blocked every time, not only that, but he also knows a little bit about medicine, and he often treats poor people."
