"Do you think you are some kind of royal family member? Your Majesty demoted you to this place to guard the city, so you have to abide by the rules here." The county magistrate sat on a high place and snorted coldly.
Obviously, the county magistrate and the shopkeeper of the grain and oil store are the same.
Officials and officials protect each other, this is to squeeze money from Xiao Chengen.
"The rule of the county magistrate is to occupy the mountain and become the king. The sky is high and the emperor is far away?" Xiao Chengen sneered.
"Your Majesty came from Kyoto, he must have brought a lot of good things, right?" the shopkeeper of the grain and oil store reminded.
Xiao Chengen gave the man a cold look. "Come here, I'll give it to you."
A glimmer of light flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes and he hurried over.
Even a piece of jade pendant worn by Xiao Chengen is worth thousands of gold.
"Ah!" The moment the shopkeeper reached out his hand, Xiao Chengen pinched his wrist in pieces.
Just now, he touched Qingluan with this hand.
He, Xiao Chengen's woman, is not willing to touch her, and she dares to touch his naked body with any rubbish.
"Xiao Chengen, you are so brave! Come on, Xiao Chengen planned a rebellion and was thrown into prison and tortured!" The county magistrate was so angry that he stood up and patted the table. Seeing that none of his men dared to approach Xiao Chengen, he gritted his teeth.
.
Obviously, Xiao Chengen also grew up in the military camp leading soldiers all year round. The innate nobility and evil spirit in him are not something that ordinary people can blaspheme.
Several yamen glanced at each other, and no one dared to approach first.
"Xiao Chengen, the Su family are all rebels. Your Majesty gave them grace to stay in the city, but you gathered a crowd to rebel?" The county magistrate narrowed his eyes and threatened Xiao Chengen with people from the Su family.
If he dares to resist, he will arrest everyone from the Su family and put them in prison.
If he takes the opportunity to rebel, he will report it to the court and ask your Majesty to send troops to suppress it.
"There's no need to blame someone if you want to." Xiao Chengen sneered and didn't resist.
Ever since he gave up the rebellion and left Kyoto, he thought that today would happen.
It doesn't matter whether Xiao Junze believes in him or not. These small officials who think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away have even more power.
"If you don't take me away, I will torture you severely!"
The magistrate was so angry that he threw down the ruler on the table.
The men quickly stepped forward and took Xiao Chengen away.
…
Xiao Chengen's mansion.
The Su family was waiting anxiously in the main hall, with solemn expressions.
"The emperor has gone too far to bully others. These dog officials are using their power to bully others. Do we still have to endure it?"
Su Xubai spoke coldly and slammed the table hard. "Let me see, instead of being so forbearing, it's better to actually do the opposite!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" the old man of the Su family scolded. "You want to kill Cheng'en!"
"Dad, my sister has already died in the hands of that dog emperor. Our Su family has been loyal to us for generations and ended up like this. Why should we endure it?"
"Yes, Dad! Go against it!"
"You all stand down!" Su Xubai said to the servants in a cold voice.
Several servants retreated and stood guard outside the door.
"Dad, His Majesty Dayu has some friendship with me. No matter what the reason is, he is willing to help us rebel against Xiao Junze and take these thirty-two cities..." Su Xubai lowered his voice and made a motion to capture it.
Mr. Su never spoke, and he was also hesitating.
If this continues, I wonder how long Xiao Chengen can last.
…
In the backyard, Yue'er paced around, holding her child tighter. "Where is the prince? He hasn't come back yet?"
"The prince was taken away by that dog magistrate, saying that he wanted to rebel!"
The maid ran in crying.
"They tortured the prince."
Yue'er was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale.
In this case, it would be better to do the opposite... When had Xiao Chengen ever been so wronged?
What on earth is he enduring?
If it were Xiao Chengen in the past, he would have rebelled without hesitation even if he knew he would die. His soldiers were still there, and Xiao Junze had not killed them all. The time and place were perfect for the pass here, but why...he refused to rebel.
.
Looking down at the little guy in her arms, Yue'er's eyes turned red.
She just didn't want to admit that Xiao Chengen was doing it for her son... and the woman named Qingluan.
He couldn't resist because he was afraid that Xiao Junze would kill his child and Qingluan.
After all, the person Qingluan is loyal to is Princess Chaoyang.
With a bitter smile, Yue'er put the child in the hand of the maid. "I will go to the county government myself."
She wanted to beg Xiao Chengen, but maybe she did the opposite...
Even if it means death, she is willing to die with him.
Why bother yourself so much?
…
County government, prison.
The county magistrate sentenced Xiao Chengen, obviously he did it on purpose.
Looking mockingly at the man on the torture rack, the magistrate raised his hand and covered his mouth and nose with silk cloth. The smell of blood was too strong. "My lord, you might as well just do it. Are the people from the Su family plotting a rebellion with you?"
Xiao Chengen clenched his hands hard, and the chains that tied him rattled.
He gave the county magistrate a cold look, that look was scary.
"County Magistrate, a woman named Mi Yue sent these..." Outside the prison, his men came in carrying a basket.
The county magistrate squinted his eyes and took a look. They were all gold bars.
He raised his lips with satisfaction. "Wouldn't it be possible to do this earlier?"
"Sir, we can't just let them go." The owner of the grain and oil store covered his wrapped hands and spoke angrily.
The county magistrate thought for a moment and realized that indeed...if he could produce so many gold bars, that meant there was still oil and water.
"What did the woman say?"
"I want to see the prisoner." The subordinate whispered.
"Then just let her see him. If you want to take him away...understand?" the county magistrate doctor said, got up and left.
Xiao Chengen struggled hard, bastard...
Outside the prison, Yue'er ran in in a panic, her eyes instantly turning red. "Your Majesty..."
With a hoarse voice, Yue'er knelt in front of Xiao Chengen.
Why should he endure the frame-up of these slanderous people? "Yue'er, please, please rebel."
Xiao Chengen frowned, the whip wounds on his body hurt terribly.
The bottom clothes were completely soaked with blood, but Xiao Chengen never let go.
"My lord! You are Xiao Chengen, who was named a prince at the age of thirteen..." Yue'er kowtowed and begged Xiao Chengen. "Yue'er, please... do it instead."
If she rebels, follow her and kill her.
These county officials had limited guards, so how could they possibly stop Xiao Chengen.
If Xiao Chengen wanted to kill them, it would be easy.
Xiao Chengen's breathing gradually became rapid, he looked down at the ground and refused to let go.
"Your Majesty, the Su family... is going to rebel." Yue'er stood up and walked to Xiao Chengen's ear.
I don’t know whether the Su family is more important in Xiao Chengen’s eyes, or Qingluan.
Which is more important, my old love Su Waner, or my current sweetheart?
Xiao Chengen's eyes narrowed and he looked up at Mi Yue.
The Su family... wants to rebel.
…
County magistrate's residence.
Qingluan was dressed in night clothes and shaking the Gu bell in his hand.
The shopkeeper of the grain and oil store was following behind the county magistrate. Suddenly his neck hurt, and he raised his hand to grab it.
The poisonous insect bit the shopkeeper's neck, and blood blisters began to ooze from the entire skin.
"Ah! Ghost!" the maid next to the magistrate shouted in horror.
The county magistrate also turned pale with fright. "What...what is going on!"
"Sir, please save me!" The shopkeeper looked at his hands covered with blood blisters in horror.
"Sir! Save me..."
"Sir, I'm afraid this is some kind of infectious disease. Please don't get close, sir!" The Yamen servant guarded the county magistrate in panic and quickly retreated.
Several government officials pressed down the shopkeeper with sticks and looked at each other in panic. "Sir, what should I do?"
"Why don't you hold this person down for me! Don't let him infect me!"
On the eaves, Qingluan snorted coldly, turned around and ran towards the execution room.
