I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

As the sky turned white, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard outside the mansion.

Fang Yi, Xiao Rou and Lu Qingxue were instantly awakened and hurriedly pushed the door open, only to see a team of cavalry suddenly appearing in the yard!

The knights wore brown soft armor, held spears, galloped on their horses, and waved their arms like soaring eagles.

"You... who are you! How dare you..." The patrol soldier outside the mansion gate was hit in the helmet by an oncoming spear before he could finish his words, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other guards quickly raised their shields, ready to defend against the sudden attack.

Although the patrol soldiers had the advantage in numbers, how could this hastily assembled mob be able to defeat the elite light cavalry of Yanzhou?

Soon after the battle began, the patrol soldiers were like fragile children encountering street urchins. They quickly dispersed and were unable to resist.

However, the Yanzhou light cavalry did not kill these defeated soldiers. They only deprived them of their weapons and protective gear and kept them under control, demonstrating a rare kindness on the battlefield.

Witnessing this scene, Fang Yi said happily: "As expected, once the reinforcements arrive, everything will change!"

"My lord, the power of the Yanzhou cavalry is truly breathtaking!" The people around him exclaimed in amazement.

Fang Yi chuckled and explained, "These are light cavalry, not iron cavalry. It will take some time for the heavy cavalry covered in black armor to arrive."

Before he finished speaking, a light cavalryman suddenly dismounted and saluted respectfully in front of Fang Yi: "My Lord, the cavalry captains have surrounded the county government office. Please move over there."

Fang Yi took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and said to himself: Finally, this moment has come!

As they were walking, Xiao Rou asked with a curious look in her eyes, "My Lord, who is that cavalry captain?"

Fang Yi patiently answered, "The cavalry lieutenant is Zhuge Jingqi. It is not a good idea for a woman to be constantly surrounded by swords and sabers, so Zhuge Zhan secured an honorary fifth-rank position for his daughter, which is both reasonable and legitimate."

During the conversation, the three of them were already close to the county government office, and saw that it was surrounded by dense crowds of people. When they saw Fang Yi appearing surrounded by light cavalry, everyone automatically made way for him.

As he entered the county government office, Fang Yi's eyes suddenly opened up: more than 800 patrol soldiers holding shields and swords were on full alert, forming an indestructible defense line around the county government office. The light cavalry troops led by Zhuge Jingqi were also in high spirits, ready to go. The two armies confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

Although the light cavalry numbered less than 200, their morale and intimidation completely overwhelmed the patrol soldiers who outnumbered them several times.

Fang Yi walked through the crowd and his eyes finally fixed on the heroic commander - Zhuge Jingqi.

She was dressed in silver armor and riding a snow-white horse. She gently pulled the reins and raised the horse's hooves slightly. She stood proudly among the crowd, with heroic spirit and unparalleled charm.

Zhuge Jingqi's bright face was covered with a light dust, and the silver spear in her hand was stained with scarlet. Only the snow-white cloak behind her remained pure and untainted by dust.

"She is so heroic! It turns out that Miss Zhuge Jingqi is as capable as any man!" Xiaorou was full of admiration and praised her endlessly.

"She should be called a heroine." Fang Yi snorted coldly, with sarcasm in his words.

"My Lord, Xiaorou dares to tell you the truth. Your marriage with Miss Zhuge Jingqi seems to be a bit inappropriate." Xiaorou smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth, her words were clever.

"Are you asking me to be a live-in son-in-law? How can you disparage your master like this?" Fang Yi pretended to be angry and tapped Xiaorou's head gently.

"Stop playing around, my Lord. The atmosphere over there is very tense." Xiaorou covered her head and looked past the crowd to the county government office in front of her.

Fang Yi looked over and saw Lu Dongxun, the source of all evil in Jiuyuan County, and the flattering Master Lin, who finally showed up and slowly approached Zhuge Jingqi.

"Jingqi, what are you going to do? Do you want to destroy the county government by yourself? Didn't your mother teach you etiquette? According to seniority, I am your uncle!" Lu Dongxun said in a deep voice.

Zhuge Jingqi frowned slightly, jumped off the horse lightly, and bowed politely: "County Magistrate Lu, Jingqi is polite."

Seeing this, Fang Yi knew that she was in an awkward situation since she had no evidence.

Zhuge Jingqi could not gain the upper hand against someone as shrewd and calculating as Lu Dongxun. Fang Yi knew that it was time for him to take action himself...

"Hmph, your cousin is not Zhuge Jingqi's biological mother, so how can you say she is my uncle? According to your calculations, you are also my uncle." Fang Yi walked straight towards Lu Dongxun and sneered.

At this point, Lu Dongxun seemed to no longer have any scruples, and sneered, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. This humble official is indeed your elder."

"You are so shameless! No wonder you treat Jiuyuan County as your own territory, doing all kinds of evil!" Fang Yi looked at him fiercely and rebuked him harshly.

"My lord, please don't talk nonsense. I have always abided by the rules and how dare I do anything wrong?" Lu Dongxun retorted.

Fang Yi had not expected his shamelessness. He pointed at the people behind him and shouted, "The people of Jiuyuan County are suffering terribly. There is almost widespread grief. Don't you think all this has nothing to do with you?"

Lu Dongxun still argued: "Jiuyuan is surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the northern barbarians, Japanese pirates and bandits invade every year. This is the root cause of the decline of people's livelihood! Lord, please don't put such a heinous crime on me."

"Who is responsible for the pile of corpses of the people at the foot of Zijin Mountain?" Fang Yi pressed on.

"That was done by bandits!" Lu Dongxun blurted out.

"You abuse your power, squeeze the people's wealth, and harm the people!" Fang Yi accused harshly.

"Does the Marquis have any evidence?" Lu Dongxun did not give in, and his momentum even surpassed Fang Yi.

Fang Yi suddenly felt the situation was difficult. He turned his head and looked behind the crowd. He was extremely anxious and wondered to himself: When will they come?

"What are you looking forward to, Lord Marquis? Do you have anything else to say?" Lu Dongxun was very proud.

In order to delay time, Fang Yi had no choice but to challenge: "Lu Dongxun, do you dare to let us search your house?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Dongxun readily agreed: "Why not? I am upright and honest!"

"Okay, order the soldiers to search immediately!" Fang Yi was about to give the order when Lu Dongxun suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"Why, are you feeling guilty?" Fang Yi asked back.

"What will My Lordship do if you can't find evidence of my guilt?" Lu Dongxun sneered.

"I am willing to bear all the consequences."

Fang Yi was impatient to deal with him any longer, and urgently ordered Zhuge Jingqi to send soldiers to search Lu Dongxun's mansion and the county government office.

Afterwards, more than 30 soldiers, under the command of Zhuge Jingqi, filed into the county government office and Lu Mansion respectively, and a battle between justice and evil quietly unfolded.

However, after a long search, surprisingly, no evidence of Lu Dongxun's guilt was found!

Not only did the account books mentioned by Master Lin disappear without a trace, but even the priceless items such as gold, silver and treasures also evaporated.

Looking at Lu Dongxun's cunning and sinister face, Fang Yi's mind suddenly became clear - it turned out that he was so fearless, obviously he had already secretly transferred the evidence.
