Yunshan City Government Office.
Qin Yun and the others were brought forward, but a group of people followed outside spontaneously, especially the vendor selling candied haws, who was filled with indignation.
Because, back then, he had a little niece who was hit and killed by a carriage named Wang Cusheng. He vaguely remembered his niece's innocent smile.
But at the beginning, not only was the prince not punished, he also collaborated with people from the southern Yunnan Yamen to characterize the dead niece, saying that she deserved what she deserved for crossing the road for no reason.
In the end, he "mercifully" paid three taels of silver.
Of course, this is just one of the tragedies. In recent years, the eldest son of the Wang family who lives in Yunshan City has been very arrogant. He has done a lot of things like buying and selling by force, robbing people's wives and daughters, and making people into slaves.
After finally meeting a foreigner who dared to challenge him, they naturally had to come and take a look.
The candied haws vendor even took the initiative to contact people who had been bullied by the prince in the past, and together they prepared to gain momentum for the foreigner.
"Snapped!"
As soon as the alarm sounded, the prefect spoke.
"Who is in the hall, and what did they commit?"
At this time, a master with a sinister look came forward to hand over the petition and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Come here and be punished, the man's legs will be clamped and the woman's will be inserted into the vagina!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Leg clamping involves using a bamboo pole to clamp the criminal's calf and slowly applying pressure. The victim will see his leg being broken with his own eyes. The pain is indescribable!
And the punishment of inserting a slit was even more perverted. This sharpened bamboo stick was inserted into the slits of ten fingers, which was very painful.
Qin Yun: "Sir, why don't you try it first?"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Qin Yun: "Don't dare!"
"It's okay if you don't dare. I'm a new officer and have encountered such a bad case. I just want to use you as a model today!"
Qin Yun was neither humble nor arrogant: "May I ask, sir, what crime have I committed?"
The magistrate snorted coldly: "You kid, you have ruined the ability of the Wang family to have children, even if I kill you, it won't be an exaggeration!"
Qin Yun: "Then why don't you ask, sir, what crime did that young master of the Wang family commit?"
Magistrate: "He committed a crime, which is governed by the king's law. Who do you think you are? Come here and execute him!"
When the officials came forward, Qin Yun smiled: "You will regret it!"
"Regret? I never know how to write the word regret!"
"Stop! It has nothing to do with the young master."
"That's right, sir, it was Young Master Huang who took action first and threatened this Young Master's concubine."
"Please have mercy, sir, have mercy!"
Magistrate: "This group of unruly people must be kicked out by me!"
As he said this, the prefect dropped his token.
"Execution!"
All the officials came forward, but at this moment, a sergeant came on a fast horse.
"Your Majesty has an order."
The prefect was very unhappy when he saw that they were the troops of the King of Southern Yunnan, but he still got up to greet them.
Since Yunshan City entered the era of two kings co-ruling, those original bureaucrats naturally had to choose which side they should serve.
Speculators take the opportunity to start betting.
The smart ones choose to wait and see what happens!
He belongs to the latter, so no one wants to offend him now.
"The prince has an order. Mr. Huang is a distinguished guest of the prince's palace. Release him immediately!"
The prefect was stunned: "This person hurt the prince. Are you sure you want to let him go?"
The messenger said: "Of course!"
Magistrate: "Please report this to the prince, and I will handle the matter impartially."
The man turned around.
The prefect looked at Qin Yun and murmured in his heart: "This person can attract King Mu to fish for people personally. I think he has a great background. But the problem is that the Wang family is one of the biggest supporters of King Gong."
"If I let this person go, I will offend the Wang family and even Prince Gong, so it is better to take him into custody first."
The prefect said:
"Come here, take this animal into custody!"
The two girls were about to take action, but Qin Yun still shook his head. He wanted to see Prince Gong's attitude.
…
At the same time, Prince Gong’s Mansion.
A charming-looking woman was crying to Prince Gong.
"My lord, that is the only seedling of my Wang family! You must make the decision for the Wang family."
Prince Gong has been busy making money recently, and he also has to guard against the Liansheng Cult and Prince Mu's Palace. He is already very worried. He didn't expect that the women from the Queen's Palace would also come to act as monsters.
Of course, it would be fine if she was just an ordinary woman. She had an extraordinary status. She was the daughter of the Wang family, the largest livestock slave owner in southern Yunnan.
At the beginning, under the pressure of Lianshengjiao, he signed a two-king co-governance agreement with Prince Mu's Mansion. Of course, everyone knows that this agreement is a piece of waste paper.
Both sides wanted to kill each other, and with the help of the Liansheng Cult, Prince Gong formed an alliance with the Wang family. After all, Prince Mu's Palace had always been opposed to animal slaves.
"Okay, beauty, I will make the decision for you. You can go down first."
The beauty of the Wang family bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for news from you."
After Wang Meiren left, Wang Mu stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to quarrel with that young master because of her?"
"You know, he not only has refined salt, but he can also bring long-term benefits to us. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Prince Gong said distressedly: "Who do you think he would not offend? Pianpian offends the Wang family. Xiao Wang understands what the military advisor said, but the problem is how can we feed the 300,000 troops in front of us?"
"Military advisor, tell me, is this a conspiracy of the Liansheng Cult? I shouldn't have forcibly separated from the Liansheng Cult in the first place."
Wang Muzhi's face darkened: "My lord, if you want to take over the world, how can you join with the rats who deceive the people's hearts? The most important thing is that they simply treat your prince as cannon fodder."
"The Iron Wolf King is their real target!"
Prince Gong sighed: "I know, but it's a pity that Ma Boliang has never been heard from again. Otherwise, how could I have no generals under my command? Neither Zeng Qianji nor Lan Tian belongs to me!"
Wang Muzhi paused and said, "My lord, Zeng Qianji can use it with confidence. After all, the person behind him needs us to help him stabilize his business in southern Yunnan."
"As for Lan Tian, he has already moved three times. The prince should give him the greatest trust, especially Zeng Qianji, who should not be allowed to check and balance him."
"Besides, isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds now?"
"What method?"
Wang Muzhi: "Give the news to Lantian and ask Lantian to rescue people. This will not only give Lantian face, but also give an explanation to the Wang family."
"However, King Mu seems to be making some moves. Perhaps he already knows Mr. Huang's true identity."
Prince Gong: "I'll do as you say first, and the Hu man surnamed Wu still won't speak?"
Wang Muzhi shook his head: "No, but that man seems to want to surrender to Mr. Huang. Last time, Mr. Huang surrendered him in front of us, and it seemed to have some effect."
"He keeps asking Mr. Huang when he will go again!"
Prince Gong's eyes turned cold: "Master Huang, how can I be worse than him?"
Wang Muzhi comforted him: "Your Majesty is the man destined by destiny, but that doesn't mean that everyone will come to vote. After all, that person used to be Qin Yun's subordinate. It is difficult for him to recognize your current identity."
Prince Gong snorted coldly: "Military advisor, only you can say this. If it had been anyone else, I would have chopped him into pieces!"
Wang Muzhi's heart sank. Not even half-way through starting a business in this world, this prince seemed to have become obsessed with power.
Of course, he could only sigh quietly in his heart: "Your Majesty, we must first get Mr. Huang, and then we can also get Wu Yingxiong!"
Prince Gong waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, you go and do it."
"promise!"
After Wang Muzhi retreated, Yuan Tianshi slowly walked in not long after.
"My lord, why are you so anxious to find me?"
Prince Gong stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Tian, in the past, Xiao Wang was ignorant and offended many times. Xiao Wang decided that from now on, the Liansheng Cult will be stationed in the army."
Yuan Tianshi smiled: "Your Majesty is wise! How can those Confucian scholars know my ambition to teach? Your Majesty, soon, we will open the treasure. From now on, Your Majesty will no longer have to worry about money and food."
Prince Gong was overjoyed: "Seriously?"
Yuan Tianshi smiled: "I take it seriously, and the prince can rest assured that all the money will be given to the prince!"
Prince Gong asked cautiously: "What about the Iron Wolf King..."
Yuan Tianshi: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since ancient times, the three major factions of Liansheng Cult have not been affiliated with each other. As long as Your Majesty has the power to annex the world, not to mention the Great Sacrifice Wine lineage, the big leader will naturally lean towards Your Majesty."
Prince Gong: "I am very curious, doesn't your Liansheng Cult have a leader?"
Yuan Tianshi muttered: "Yes, but not in the Central Plains. This matter is originally confidential, but for the sake of mutual trust, I still tell the prince. Our Lisheng Cult also has power in Nanyang, Dongjun, and the islands in the far east."
"Moreover, there was news a few years ago that there is a fertile land that no one cares about outside the Far East Island. Therefore, the prince does not have to worry about my church's plot against the Central Plains."
"The Iron Wolf King is a foreigner after all, and I am also from the Central Plains. How can I let him sit on the throne?"
Prince Gong: "I know the words "There is a Celestial Master" in my heart.
"By the way, I am very doubtful about Mr. Huang's identity. He actually asked me to send someone to investigate the Liansheng Cult."
Yuan Tianshi smiled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this person can't ruin the big things we are waiting for. Your Majesty should still focus on political management. Wang Muzhi is indeed a great talent, but he only sees the superficial things."
"Your Majesty, you can learn from him, but you can't trust him easily!"
Prince Gong: "Xiao Wang understands that after all, Xiao Wang is supported by the Liansheng Cult. That person is just using him!"
Yuan Tianshi cupped his hands: "That's good, I'll take my leave!"
After Yuan Tianshi left, Prince Gong's eyes were cold: "These are not good things! When can I, the king, truly take up my own power? King Mu, why have you been unwilling to marry your daughter to me?"
