Pei Yuan was not a good-tempered person. Seeing the yamen servant's behavior, he kicked the yamen servant in the chest without waiting for King Ling to stop him, sending the yamen servant flying backwards and to the ground.

When King Ling on the side saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The officer obviously didn't expect that Pei Yuan would suddenly take action. Just as he was about to get up, his throat felt fishy and sweet, and then he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

When another government official saw this, he was shocked.

But thinking that this was a government office, he straightened his back again.

"How dare you! This is the government office, and you dare to make trouble in front of the government office. Do you really not want to live?"

Pei Yuan snorted coldly and was about to unsheath his long sword. The next moment, the cold and sharp sword that had killed countless people on the battlefield was placed on the neck of the Yamen servant.

The yamen servant who had been holding his neck and shouting just now was like a chicken being strangled by the neck, unable to make any sound.

There was a carriage following King Ling, and the guards on it also walked down one after another.

At King Ling's signal, he went to the door of the government office to play drums.

When the two government officials saw the clothes of these guards, they had a bad premonition.

They had seen these clothes before, but the man came from the capital.

Now this...

The two government officials didn't dare to think about it anymore, so they could only lower their heads and say nothing, hoping that these people would forget their existence.

But the guards beat the drums for a long time, but there was not even the slightest movement in the government office. Prince Ling couldn't help but darken his face.

"The prefect has never been in the government office?"

Hearing Prince Ling's question, the yamen servant with a long sword around his neck said hurriedly: "Here, yes, the prefect is in the yamen. Maybe...maybe it's because he is busy with business, and the prefect is sleepy..."

Before the officer finished speaking, Prince Ling couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"The magistrate is really a rare and good official. He can't even hear complaints of injustice."

The yamen servant shut his mouth and did not dare to speak casually again.

This group of people obviously came with bad intentions, and it was not something that government officials like them could stop.

Prince Ling winked at the people around him, and two guards immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door of the government office.

The door of the government office was not open all year round, but now it was opened by people from both sides. The government servant who was taking a nap inside was startled.

"Who is it? How dare you break into the government office without permission!"

The head catcher's scolding did not stop the guards who came in. On the contrary, there were more and more people behind them.

When the head catcher saw that something was wrong, he immediately woke up.

"Bold! Do you know that breaking into the government office without permission is a capital offense!"

"Oh, a capital crime? Which article in the imperial law states that breaking into a government office is a capital crime?"

The head catcher looked at the person walking in with the light behind him, and suddenly felt a little panicked for some reason.

"Who are you? If you dare to break into the government office, you..."

Before the arrester could finish his words, the swords of the first two guards were already unsheathed.

The head catcher was startled. Although they also had knives on their waists, they were incomparable to the weapons in the hands of these guards.

Realizing that the situation was beyond his understanding, the catcher immediately looked at the yamen servant next to him and asked him to go find the prefect quickly.

When King Ling saw this, he did not stop him.

In the time it took to burn an incense stick, the prefect hurried over.As he walked, he was arranging his clothes, obviously he was in a hurry.

After seeing the situation in the government office, the prefect's expression changed suddenly.

"Bold! Who are you, how dare you make trouble in the government office!"

As the prefect finished speaking, a token in Prince Ling's hand was placed in front of him.

When he saw the word 'Xuanyuan' on the token, the prefect couldn't help but tremble.

When he saw the word 'Ling' on the token, he immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him.

The magistrate, who had looked aloof just now, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I am ignorant of Mount Tai. I bumped into you, Prince Ling. Please forgive me."

The shopkeepers and government officials were dumbfounded for a moment when they saw the prefect like this.

No one expected that a prince would come to their small mountainous area.

But the magistrate has already knelt down, which means that this person cannot fake it.

Besides, anyone who pretends to be a relative of the emperor will be beheaded. I'm afraid no one would use his identity as a relative of the emperor to deceive someone so openly.

King Ling snorted coldly, turned around and sat on a chair nearby, followed closely by Pei Yuan.

Looking at the situation in the government office, Pei Yuan also frowned.

It is really embarrassing that such a group of government servants are still working in the government office.

"It's hard for the magistrate to recognize this token. I thought you had forgotten everything."

The prefect didn't know what Prince Ling was doing when he came out here, but looking at the situation today, he also knew that the person who came was not good.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just went out for some important matters, so I didn't sit in front of the hall. It's not that I left my post without permission."

Prince Ling snorted coldly, "Does the magistrate have an idea?"

Hearing King Ling's ridicule, the prefect felt embarrassed, but for a moment he didn't know the purpose of King Ling's coming here today, so he could only wait and see what would happen.

"I have seen a lot of things along the way. You, Lin County, have given me a lot of perspective."

The prefect's heart skipped a beat, wondering what King Ling had seen.

"I wonder what your Highness is talking about? If there is any misunderstanding, I will definitely send someone to investigate carefully."

Prince Ling snorted lightly, "Your Majesty, you really don't listen to civil affairs and only focus on collecting bribes."

The prefect was flustered and quickly lowered his head.

"Your Highness is wronged. This official has never received any bribes."

At this moment, the prefect also realized that someone might have brought something to his attention.

This is the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor. If he really wants to investigate the affairs of Lin County, I am afraid that he, the prefect, will also be in trouble.

Thinking of this, the prefect felt a grudge against those who spoke carelessly.

He even thought that when King Ling left, he would definitely lock up those people who dared to accuse him behind his back.

Prince Ling squinted his eyes as he looked at the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground with a sinister look on his face.

He didn't bother to talk nonsense to the other party and threw a blood letter at the prefect's face.

"Wish? Take a closer look. Is this your injustice?"

The prefect took the thing off his face and discovered that it was actually a blood letter written by hundreds of people.

One by one, the crimes of the Linxian magistrate and the actions of the landlords and squires were recorded on it. The magistrate's feet weakened and he couldn't help but slumped to the ground.

But then he thought of the person who could support him, and the prefect hurriedly changed his face again.

"You are so bold and cunning, you actually dare to frame me!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ling, please don't listen to these people's nonsense. This official is loyal to the court and has never done anything harmful to the court or the people."
