The pear tree on the wall is snowy and delicate

Chapter 387: Wuyang's Power to Punish Evil Officials

It was a lively scene here, but there were two people watching secretly.

"Is that him?" someone asked.

"That's right, tsk..." another person answered, his tone full of disdain, as if he looked down on the person they were talking about.

The man who asked the question stopped talking and just watched everything that happened at the entrance of the village with cold eyes. He felt disgusted with the official. Is this what a human being is?

There was chaos outside the village and the two sides were in a stalemate. Long Qi and his friends had no time to care about anything else and were only focused on protecting the villagers behind them.

When the county magistrate saw that someone was ruining her plans, he flew into a rage and shouted that the men should be arrested and thrown into prison and sentenced to severe punishment. While he was cursing and giving orders to the yamen runners, Zhao Wuyang walked out of the village leisurely.

"Let's see who dares!"

The county magistrate was already very angry, and when he saw the short Zhao Wuyang, he became even more furious.

How dare you, a baby who is still wet behind the ears and whose hair hasn't even grown out, challenge Tai Sui? Do you really think I'm a face man?
The county magistrate's eyes rolled, and he raised his fat head, and made up his mind - he must teach these people a lesson. If the news got out and he lost his dignity, how would he rule in the future?
Looking at the fat and bloated county magistrate, the legal advisor shook his head helplessly.

The master's original surname was Gao, and he was born into a noble family. However, when he was young and arrogant, he offended the local dignitaries. In order to avoid implicating his family, he changed his name to his mother's surname Jiang and left his hometown.

Master Jiang is an upright person who cannot tolerate injustice. The reason he committed the crime was because the local powerful people bullied the people and forced ordinary people into a corner. He was so angry that he made a big mistake.

After leaving, Master Jiang reflected on his mistakes and was determined to make a name for himself. But without the support of his family, he walked the world alone, repeatedly finding no job, and deeply experienced the hardships.

In the current situation, if there is no help, who will look up to a person without any background? Even if there is a stunning talent, it will be buried in the dust.

After many setbacks, Master Jiang wanted to give up, but at this time he happened to meet Coach Qin, who came to seek refuge with a distant relative - a non-commissioned officer leading a group of yamen runners.

One was ambitious, the other was full of aspirations. They met each other too late, so they traveled together and became the apprentices of the county magistrate. Although the county magistrate was confused, he also thought of their relationship and gave them the positions of legal advisors and chief constables.

In terms of the county magistrate's ability, these two positions were not considered low. Jiang and Qin were also very grateful and assisted the county magistrate with all their heart and soul.

But who would have thought that a distant relative with an unknown face would suddenly appear halfway through and make the fool confused. The government affairs, which were originally well-behaved, became a mess after he came.

What’s even more hateful is that the relative took advantage of his power to bully others. Not only did he make a ton of money behind people’s backs, he also bullied men and women and committed many evil things.

These are what Long Qi and his group heard from the villagers.

According to them, they had been able to get by thanks to the mediation of Master Jiang and the secret help of Chief Constable Qin. But since the disaster, the evil deeds of the county magistrate and his relative have become worse.

Although City Lord Zhao never participated in politics and never taught political affairs, Zhao Wuyang understood that as a royal relative, he had to shoulder his responsibilities.

Today he will eradicate this scourge and give the people justice.

"Go! Capture those guys!"

The county magistrate was still unaware of his own death and was still shouting at the top of his lungs, but the yamen runners just looked at each other and no one dared to take action.

"What are you standing there for? There are dead people everywhere!" The county magistrate was so angry that he twisted his fat neck and kept cursing, his saliva almost spraying on Long Qi's face.

"Jiang Ting County Magistrate, do you admit your guilt?" Zhao Wuyang's face was stern and his tone was high, not as gentle as usual. It was the first time for several people to see Zhao Wuyang like this. Long Qi and Liu Xia couldn't help but look at him sideways, but Xin Yi was very calm and stood behind Zhao Wuyang with an expressionless face.

"How dare you! How dare you speak to the county magistrate like that!" the lackey beside the county magistrate shouted.

The county magistrate was stunned at first, but only came to his senses after the lackey's shout. He laughed so hard that the flesh on his face trembled and the thick oil seemed to be dripping down.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to your grandfather like that?"

I thought the kid in front of me had gone mad, but how dare you accuse him of a crime?
Although this man was incompetent, he had been an official for several years. How could he be fooled by Zhao Wuyang's words? But what happened next left him confused.

Xinyi took out a gold medal from her waist and sang loudly, looking like a guard: "Here is the gold medal of Prince Yang. Seeing the medal is like seeing you. Why don't you pay your respects quickly!"

The county magistrate divided the land into several kings, but he had no idea who King Guyang was, and his lackeys beside him knew nothing about it. However, Master Jiang and Chief Constable Qin knew about it, but they did not kneel down as he was told.

"Please forgive me for being rude, but please take a look at the gold medal." Master Jiang stepped forward and said.

After Zhao Wuyang nodded, Xinyi handed over the gold medal. Master Jiang took the medal, weighed it, and carefully examined the dragon pattern, seal characters, and gold thread on it before returning it to Xinyi.

As soon as the gold medal left his hand, Master Jiang bowed down and shouted, "Long live the late King Yang."

Although Master Jiang had never seen Prince Guyang, as he came from a noble family, he knew that the gold thread on the gold medal could only be used by members of the royal family.

When Master Jiang knelt, Chief Constable Qin naturally followed suit. Seeing the two of them saluting, the yamen runners and villagers also knelt one after another, with expressions of fear and trepidation on their faces.

The county magistrate was at a loss as to what to do in this situation. He was about to ask someone, but his lackey had already run away. He was panicking, but he still insisted, "What the hell is this King Guyang? How come I have never heard of him?"

Of course, the county magistrate was just making up a story. When the old prince of Yang abdicated, it caused a sensation in the court and the country. The right prime minister was so angry that he hit the pillar, and the left prime minister threatened to resign. But even so, the old prince of Yang still did not give in.

Who in the whole of the Celestial Empire doesn't know about this? Who doesn't know about this? The prefecture magistrate is still making excuses.

Zhao Wuyang ignored him and ordered the yamen runners to arrest the county magistrate, but none of them dared to step forward. These yamen runners had been oppressed by the county magistrate for a long time, so how could they dare to touch him?
Upon seeing this, Chief Constable Qin stood up and bowed without saying a word, then stepped forward and captured the county magistrate who was trying to escape.

The captured county magistrate kept cursing, saying that Chief Constable Qin was ungrateful and that Lawyer Jiang was a traitor. He never had a good word to say.

Chief Constable Qin, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment: "Although you and I are relatives, you have committed many evil deeds and should be executed. Besides, I am only following orders, so I hope the county magistrate will not struggle any more."

After Chief Constable Qin finished speaking, he said no more. He just pulled a hand towel from his waist and stuffed it into the county magistrate's mouth.

"Jiangting County Magistrate has oppressed the people. His virtue is unworthy of his position and his talent is unfit for the job. I order him to be imprisoned. I will hand over a letter to the Chief Censor to determine his crime." Zhao Wuyang straightened his back. "All matters of Jiangting County Office will be temporarily handled by Mr. Jiang, and Chief Constable Qin will assist. I hope you will be honest and serve the people, and rule like the heaven and the earth. Don't let down the heaven."

The orders he gave were sonorous, powerful and resounding, totally unlike the gentle ones in the past, which made Long Qi and Liu Xia unable to stop watching.

Zhao Wuyang felt uncomfortable being stared at, and his eyes, which were firm just now, suddenly became evasive.

He is...

Being hated?
