"Alas! The corrupt official was indeed caught, but at the same time our identities have been exposed. It is impossible for us to continue to play wildly!"
Early the next morning, Ying Feiyu dragged his chin with his hands and muttered helplessly.
I originally planned to stay in Nanhai City for a few more days and wander around as an ordinary citizen.
Now that their identities are exposed, no matter where they want to go, they can't be as casual as before!
"You're only a few years old now. If you want to have more opportunities in the future, it's more important to punish those corrupt officials!"
Ying Zheng walked down the stairs and said.
"Oh! Not necessarily!"
Ying Feiyu curled his lips.
When I was the prince, I was always stared at by this old guy.
Now that he is sitting on the throne, not only is this old guy watching, but also the old censors are watching, it is not that easy to leave.
"To report to the Emperor and Your Majesty, the magistrate, governor and others of Nanhai County are outside seeking to see you!"
At this moment, the guard guarding the door came to report.
"Just ask them to go to the county government office for interrogation, and then report back after the interrogation results come out!"
Ying Feiyu waved his hand and refused.
What they saw was nothing more than asking them to find out the truth and deal with it impartially. It was a waste of saliva!
Besides, there should be some connection between the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and he didn't want to see them at all.
After the results of the Nanhai City gang's treatment come out, they still need to investigate this county magistrate!
"yes!"
The soldier responded, nodded and went out.
After taking Ruan Zhiming and others away last night, according to the order, many county government officials were arrested in Nanhai City and their residences were surrounded. No one was allowed to leave.
Making such a big noise attracted a large number of people to watch that night.
Early this morning, news continued to spread among the people.
The identities of Ying Zheng, Ying Feiyu and others have been exposed.
In order to ensure their safety, the guards simply stopped hiding their identities and divided them into batches to guard outside the restaurant!
"You can't go in! You can't go in!"
"Don't go any further. If we go any further, don't blame us for being rude...!"
However, just as the soldiers went out, orders from other soldiers came from outside the door.
"Master, just do it and let us see His Majesty! If it doesn't work, just let us have a few words through the door!"
"Yes, sir, we were wronged. The county magistrate was so tyrannical that he ordered his men to seize our property and force my father to death!"
"We, as a family, have all been harmed by the county magistrate and his inspector son. We can't let that corrupt official come out again...!"
The doors and windows of the restaurant were not too thick, and the people outside the door were shouting loudly. Ying Feiyu could hear them clearly inside.
"What's the noise outside the door?"
Ying Feiyu's hearing was systematically enhanced, but Ying Zheng's hearing was not.
Even because of my old age, my hearing has deteriorated, and I can only hear sporadic conversations about county magistrates and inspections.
I also guessed that some people received the news and complained, but they couldn't hear what was going on!
"They are the people of Nanhai City!"
Ying Feiyu said as he walked towards the door.
"Squeak..."
The door of the restaurant was opened by him, and the soldiers at the door bowed their hands.
Ying Feiyu glanced around and saw that there were at least a hundred people, old and young, outside the door. No wonder the voices were so noisy, "Are you all being persecuted by Nanhai City officials?"
When the people heard the sound, they were stunned at first.
Because they don't know Ying Feiyu.
But he reacted after a while.
Those who can walk out of that door, even if they are not emperors, are princes and high-ranking officials. Tell him what happened and it will be the same!
"That's right! Our Nanhai City magistrate has done many evil things! On the surface, he looks like a dog, but behind the scenes, all he does is to harm our people!"
"He ordered people to seize my land and forced my father to death!"
"My son was beaten to death by that patrol inspector!"
"My daughter was also harmed by them! Official, you have to make the decision for us...!"
The people knelt on the ground and cried about their experiences over the years.
"Don't worry, I have sent people to check Ruan Zhiming and others. You can just wait for the news! I will never let any bad guy go!"
Ying Feiyu spoke with determination to reassure the people.
"I……?"
"Are you the emperor? Are you the emperor?"
Through his words, the people immediately understood his identity and were shocked.
"That's right! I am the newly crowned Crown Prince Ying Feiyu!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Great, Your Majesty is willing to see us! Your Majesty is actually willing to see us! Finally, someone has made up our mind for our grievances!"
The people were so excited that they burst into tears.
"I have sent people to guard all the officials in the county government, and everything will be investigated!"
Looking at these simple people, Ying Feiyu spoke again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The people kowtowed one after another.
"Your Majesty, the reason why Ruan Zhiming is so confident is that he has a backing! Their officials protect each other, and even if we are complained and want to sue, we have no way to sue!"
"Yes! We also jointly filed a lawsuit with the county magistrate, but we were beaten back with sticks as soon as we arrived. At that time, two of my ribs were broken! After that, the county magistrate became more thoughtful and sent people to keep an eye on , as long as I find someone complaining, I will immediately beat them up!"
"That's right! With the protection of the officials above, Ruan Zhiming has intensified his efforts to harm our people in the past two years! Every time, he did not go out in person, but asked relatives at home to do it! But we all know that the mastermind behind all this , that’s the county magistrate...!”
The people were afraid that the presiding official would give a lenient sentence and if the county magistrate was released, they would suffer even more.
"Okay! Since I already know about this matter, I will never let it go! Ruan Zhiming and the people behind him will be found out!"
Ying Feiyu nodded in agreement, making the people feel at ease.
Even if they don't remind them, he will send someone to deal with these matters!
I just want to try out how Nanhai County Sheriff and others will judge in the end.
The crimes of Ruan Zhiming and others have been clearly exposed. If you want to investigate, you will definitely know the relationship between him and the county magistrate.
If you want to protect yourself and don't say a word to the county magistrate, then deal with it together with the county magistrate!
If he enforces the law impartially, Ying Feiyu will only pursue him for the crime of poor supervision, but not for the crime of shielding!
"The sky has eyes, let your Majesty make the decision for us!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
The people kowtowed again and thanked him.
"Okay, everyone go back quickly!"
After dismissing everyone, he turned his head and met Ying Zheng's angry eyes.
"Deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, harm the people, and the officials protect each other!"
Ying Zheng stared at the people's leaving figures and said through gritted teeth.
"Father, don't worry. When I return to Xianyang, I will definitely carry out drastic reforms!"
There are so many methods available in later generations, and just a few of them can produce good responses in this era.
