Chapter 113

Xia Ji didn't speak, and Yu Xiao who was on the side took out the Jinyiwei token and handed it to him with a cold expression.

"Jin Yiwei Qianhu Yu Xiao, this is our Jin Yiwei Commander, Master Xia."

After hearing this, the magistrate's feet went limp, and if it wasn't for someone supporting him, he would probably have fallen to the ground.

The commander of Jin Yiwei, who else can have a lord surnamed Xia besides Xia Ji!

Why did this evil star suddenly appear here? Didn't he never go to Beijing under normal circumstances?
Unless it was a major case ordered by His Majesty, this evil Yan Luo almost never took half a step out of Shangjing.

"Xia...Master Xia, why did you appear here? Is there any major case to be investigated? Do you need the assistance of an official?"

The magistrate steadied his footsteps and asked hastily.

However, Xia Ji just glanced at him indifferently, "What's going on with you here? Did you just plan to kill ordinary people together?"

Although the Commander of Jin Yiwei is a bit cruel in his daily affairs, he has never been cruel to ordinary people. How dare a prefect of Minghe Mansion treat ordinary people like this. If they were not here, blood would have flowed into rivers by now!
"Don't dare, don't dare, please don't misunderstand, Lord Xia, this official is just scaring... yes, it's just scaring them!"

How dare the prefect of Minghe say that he has such thoughts, even if he does, he must say he doesn't!
A magistrate from the third rank claims to be an inferior official in front of a fourth rank official. Such a person is in charge of the entire Minghe Mansion. It is no wonder that there are disaster-stricken people everywhere along the way!

At this moment, Xia Hanyu's perception of the person in front of him was extremely bad.

Yang Hong, who was on the side, saw that the magistrate was so low-key to Xia Hanyu and his party, and heard that Yu Xiao and the others claimed to be members of the Jinyiwei, and that Xia Ji had rescued them just now, and immediately rushed toward him like a drowning man catching driftwood. Then they knelt down.

"Young Master Yang Hong from Taiping County sees Master Jin Yiwei Xia, we are wronged, and please make decisions for us!"

Even though the rumors of Jin Yiwei are not good, they have no choice now.

Upon hearing his words, the magistrate at the side immediately retorted: "Master Xia, it is clear that this group is opening the imperial court's granary in private, knowingly committing a crime, and the minister is indeed acting according to the will!"

"Since it is acting according to the will, why do these people protest collectively? I only see that you have other ideas!"

"Sister, we can't spare him!"

As soon as these words came out, what else did the magistrate not understand? Who else in this world is qualified to call himself an orphan except the Prince of the East Palace? The prince's elder sister is His Majesty's most beloved eldest princess, Her Royal Highness!
It turned out that the person who scolded and stopped him just now was His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!

This time, no one could stop his feet from softening, and he knelt down in front of Xia Hanyu and Xia Chengyun with a plop.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty Du Yongyuan, the magistrate of Minghe Prefecture, will meet His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

At this time, he was already prostrate on the ground, not even daring to lift his head, his body had already started to shake a little, but he tried his best to restrain himself.

Yang Hong opened his mouth and looked at the group of people in front of him, and then quickly knelt down. As for those common people, they also knelt down and shouted loudly.

The most important official these people met on weekdays was the magistrate of the county. Originally, there was an extra magistrate, but they didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet the prince and princess today, who are the son and daughter of His Majesty the Emperor!
"Humph."

Xia Hanyu snorted coldly, her majestic eyes fell on Du Yongyuan's body, "Du Yongyuan, you are guilty."

"Your official... I don't know what crime you have committed?"

Du Yongyuan didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid, or he really didn't know, he lowered his head, and his voice was full of doubts.

"Really." Xia Hanyu's complexion did not change, but her voice became colder again, "You really don't know what crime you have committed by targeting the people of Daxia with the crossbow arrows sent by the imperial court?"

"Back to the Eldest Princess, I really just want to frighten them! As you can see, they are really troublesome people, and they have no choice but to prevent the lower officials from carrying out the execution."

Du Yongyuan knew very well that he would never admit to this crime no matter what, otherwise he would not be able to do justice today, and he would have to risk his life here.

But he didn't know that Xia Hanyu never cared whether he pleaded guilty or not, if he didn't confess now, he would confess sooner or later.

Her eyes fell on Ban Zheng who was on the execution platform, and those people immediately cried out for their grievances.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Ban was really wronged. He did it for us. Please, Your Highness, please spare Mr. Ban's life. The grass people are willing to exchange their lives for his!"

"Grassmen are also willing."

"Grassmen are willing!"

After they finished speaking, they kowtowed desperately, making a loud bang bang bang bang.

"I didn't say that I wanted Master Ban's life, so stop knocking."

She had a headache from kowtowing, and she didn't know how much she kowtowed today, almost all the common people's heads were broken, girls, let Bai Zhi take a look at them for them.

"Does Her Royal Highness mean to release Master Ban?"

Some people immediately asked.

Xia Hanyu smiled and nodded, "Ban Zheng's private opening of granaries is indeed wrong, but the imperial government built granaries in various places for emergency use. Although the purpose is for military supplies, it has never stated that it cannot be used by civilians, so Ban Zheng's move is not a deception. What's more, Mr. Ban has already written a memorial and handed it over to my royal father, based on what I know about my royal father, he will not punish Mr. Ban, and may even reward him."

Of course, it's only possible. After all, before half of the Xie family's property was in place, he was still poor, and he would definitely be reluctant to pick it up.

But even though the imperial court laws cannot be violated, her father would find it difficult to speak, but if he is a good official who is sincerely for the people of the imperial court, it is not difficult for him to speak.

Otherwise, Cai Sheng didn't know where he died and no one dared to collect his body.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Du Yongyuan became anxious.

"His Royal Highness, no, Banzheng committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. His Majesty once issued an edict. Unless the situation is urgent, the grain in the granary must not be used!"

"The tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster are now homeless and have no food to eat. Isn't it urgent?"

Xia Hanyu turned sideways and looked at him with cold eyes.

"This……"

For a moment Du Yongyuan was speechless.

Xia Hanyu looked at him coldly, and the aura on his body gradually filled with killing intent.Going towards Du Yongyuan.

"Master Du, instead of caring about Master Ban's life, why not care about yourself first."

"You ignore innocent people's pleas for life today, and you even want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Is it for the court or for yourself? This Palace will give you a chance to explain yourself."

"Come here, take it down, and temporarily put it in the prison of Taiping County to wait for disposal."
