Chapter 264 Prince Rong’s Mansion

Yang Liang threw Chang Sile into the county jail, along with the county jailer and everyone involved.

Several unjust and wrongful convictions were vindicated, and many people were released from prison.

The people on the street rushed to tell each other, saying frankly that the new imperial envoy was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, and that he was a Lord Qingtian who made decisions for the people.

He worked until very late before returning to the county government office.

dong dong dong.

Accompanied by a knock on the door, Wu Dao pushed the door open and said, "Master Qi, the matter has been settled. Chang Sile's family members have been temporarily detained. They will be driven out of the county government office and find another one in the city." residence."

Yang Liang nodded.

"Sir, I still have something unclear. What are you going to do next?"

Yang Liang said: "Of course I have to kill him with a knife to give justice to the people of Qingzhu County."

"But, what happens next?" Wu Dao asked next.

Yang Liang raised his head and looked at him curiously.

Wu Dao continued: "If you kill the person named Chang, someone named Zhang will come again, and the next county magistrate may not be better. Besides, we have official business and cannot stay here forever.

There are many similar things going on this way north. Do you plan to kill them one by one? "

"So that's what you're doing."

Yang Liang smiled and said: "I have already sent people to hurry up and summon the princess. I believe that it won't be long before she will send an official to Qingzhu County. Even if it is not better than Chang Sile, it is still not as bad. Where to go.

It doesn't matter if you go all the way north, you can kill them all the way, you can always give justice to the people. "

Wu Dao was silent for a while, looked at Yang Liang and said: "Master Li is worthy of being the top scholar."

At this time, someone hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, King Rong has sent an invitation to invite you to a banquet."

"King Rong?"

Yang Liang was startled and thought to himself: This person came so quickly.

King Rong's fiefdom was about a hundred miles away from Qingzhu County. Yang Liang knew he would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Wu Dao said: "His Royal Highness Prince Rong is your majesty's confidant, but your majesty has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism in these years and has neglected his contacts with them."

Yang Liang understood the implication of Wu Dao's words. People like Wang Baxian naturally think about themselves in everything, and how can they care about their former little brothers.

As for his cronies...the real cronies are right in front of him.

"Go back to them. My Lord is busy with official duties and it is not convenient to receive guests. Please tell them that when I am free, I will definitely pay you a visit."

"Sir, you'd better go and take a look for yourself. I've already told him, but this man is very strange. I must see you, sir."

Yang Liang smiled and said: "In that case, I will go and meet him for a while."

Xing Zhou stood in front of the lobby, circling back and forth. He was about fifty years old, with a round face. He looked like he was well-off and living a good life.

Seeing Yang Liang coming out, he finally stood still, widened his eyes and said: "You are Li Qingyang, do you understand the rules? Chang Sile is from His Highness Prince Rong, why did you arrest him for no reason?

I ask you to release him immediately and follow me to apologize to His Highness Prince Rong. Maybe there is a way to survive and keep your official clothes. "

Before Yang Liang could speak, the other party fired a barrage of fire, which actually made Yang Liang laugh.

Wu Dao whispered a few words in his ear, and Yang Liang knew that this man was the steward of Prince Rong's Mansion. He was usually domineering, and he seemed to be the second-largest local emperor in the area.

"Here comes someone."

Yang Liang said: "Tie him up for me."

"Let's see who dares!" Xingzhou shouted, "I am a member of His Royal Highness Prince Rong. How dare you, a seventh-grade man, touch me?"

"No matter how young you are in the seventh rank, you are still an official. If you see my official being so rude, you shouldn't deal with it severely."

Yang Liang waved his hand, pointed at Wu Dao and said: "Look who this is, it's the leader of the Silver Saber Guards, Wu. Let me tell you, there is no one in the world that the Silver Saber Guards dare not kidnap."

Wu Dao's expression was very helpless. He didn't really want to hang out with Yang Liang. However, this time the errand was mainly focused on Yang Liang.

Moreover, for King Rong, the Silver Blade Guards do not need to take it seriously.

He waved his hand, and two warriors from the Silver Blade Guard came forward and held Xing Zhou on the ground.

"Come here, put down twenty big boards first."

Xing Zhou was tough at first, but by the time a few boards fell on him, he had calmed down, leaving only bursts of wailing.

After a while, there was a bloody scar on his butt, and tears and nose ran out.

"Come here, prepare a wooden stick for him and let him repay the favor to Lord Rong Wang."

Xing Zhou glanced at Yang Liang fiercely, and when he saw Yang Liang looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

He limped away from the county government office with a wooden stick, was helped into the carriage parked in front of the county government office gate, and then ran non-stop to Prince Rong's Mansion.

At dawn the next day, Yang Liang woke up from bed and washed and changed clothes under the service of Dayu and Xiaoyu.

At this time, the street was already crowded with people. People heard that the new imperial envoy wanted to kill Chang Sile, so they rushed over with their whole families, supporting the old and the young.

Chang Sile and a group of prisoners were escorted to the execution ground. Yang Liang was sitting under the arbor, gently waving the cattail leaf fan with a bowl of herbal tea in his hand.

"My lord, noon has arrived, and the prisoner has been found guilty."

"Okay, let's do some cutting."

Yang Liang stretched out his hand and threw the red stick in his hand.

"Slow down, save someone under the knife."

At this time, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and a man on the horse jumped onto the execution ground and said: "I am in the lower palace of Prince Rong, Meng Zichun. I beg you to spare someone under the sword."

Chang Sile had already turned into a pile of mud. After seeing Meng Zichun, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Young prince, save me."

Yang Liang knew that Prince Rong's surname was Meng, and Meng Zichun was probably the young master of Prince Rong's palace.

He waved his hand to ask the executioner to postpone the execution, stood up from behind the table, and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Li Qingyang, see you, Your Highness, the young prince."

Meng Zichun strode over and said: "Master Li, there is no need to be polite. I came here specially in the name of my father. This Chang Sile was promoted by my father. He has always been diligent, honest and loyal. Is there anything in it?" Misunderstanding. So my father ordered me to come and ask. Of course, if he is indeed guilty of corruption and bending the law, Mr. Li must handle the case impartially and act in accordance with the law."

Yang Liang was moved and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Rong's teachings, I will definitely keep them in mind. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely visit him personally and explain the matter to His Highness Prince Rong in detail."

Meng Zichun said: "It is better to choose a day than to hit it. If Mr. Li is free, why don't you take Magistrate Chang and make it clear to your father?"

If my father knew that Mr. Li was dedicated to serving the public, he would be able to rest assured for the people of Qingzhu County. "

Yang's conscience moved. It seemed that he had to go to Prince Rong's Mansion.

Come on, no matter it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, just go and have a go.

Anyway, he has the Silver Blade Guard to back him up.

He cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, young prince. I will definitely pay you a visit tonight. Young prince will go first, and Li will arrive shortly." "In that case, I will take Chang Sile away first. If he does anything wrong, , Father will definitely punish him severely."

Yang Liang paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Please, if I lose it, I will ask the young prince for it."

"Hahaha, I'm sure, I'll take care of everything."

As he spoke, Meng Zichun ordered people to carry Chang Sile into the car, and bid farewell to Yang Liang on the horse.

The people in the audience came here to see Chang Sile beheaded, but they didn't expect to see such a scene.

So everyone looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, with no luster on their faces.

"That's all, I know that their officials are protecting each other, and there is no time for us to get ahead."

"This is someone from Prince Rong's Mansion personally, and there is nothing the Imperial Envoy can do."

"Gone, gone."

Wu Dao came close to Yang Liang and said, "Master Li, let him take the man away. You must know that it is easier to control a tiger than to capture it."

"Can he be considered a tiger?" Yang Liang said with a smile: "If they annoy me, I will kill them all together."

The Silver Sword Guards don't have much concern for justice in their hearts. They are the swords in Wang Baxian's hands, and the swords are indifferent to good and evil.

However, things had reached this point, and they felt a little regretful to let Chang Sile go away for nothing.

Yang Liang was unhurried, with the same expression on his face as usual.

He returned to the county government office, and a pair of sisters, Dayu and Xiaoyu, looked at him eagerly.

"Sir, I will wash your feet."

"I will help you change your clothes."

Yang Liang waved his hand: "I'm not busy. Please allow me to rest for a while. There are still big things to do in the evening."

A pair of sisters helped Yang Liang undress and take off his clothes. After Yang Liang woke up, the sun was setting in the west, and the mountains, rivers and land were golden.

Silver Blade Guards had already prepared the carriage, and Wu Dao personally came to invite him, saying: "Master Li, it's getting late, we should set off."

"Walk."

Yang Liang waved his hand and followed Wu Dao away from the county government office.

On the carriage, Wu Dao told Yang Liang about the situation of the vassal princes in the Dasheng Dynasty.

Because Wang Ba first started his career through rebellion, when the princes in various places were strictly guarded, the prince enjoyed the power of taxation, but had no military power or governance power.

Each household can have a maximum of five hundred servants, which is the limit Wang Baxian can accept.

However, also because he has done something wrong, he must reward meritorious officials so that the country can sit firmly.

Therefore, most of the princes from various places in the Dasheng Dynasty were sealed by him.

The carriage moved forward along the official road. The road gradually opened up and crops were planted on both sides of the road.

After walking for a while, a grand mansion appeared in front of it, with white walls and gray tiles, built against the mountain.

"This is Prince Rong's residence, and the local people call this place Little Taoyuan." Wu Dao said.

Yang Liang knew the extravagant style of the princes and nobles of the Dasheng Dynasty, but he didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Meng Zichun came out and bowed and said: "Welcome Mr. Li, please come quickly. My father has already prepared a banquet inside, just to entertain Mr. Li."

Yang Liang and Yin Dawei rushed straight in. They saw brightly lit lights in front of the hall, and dining tables with freshly roasted beef and mutton on them.

Yang Liang wiped away his tears and said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Rong, treated us so well. I really don't know what to do. Come here, please bring the gifts we brought."

A silver sword guard brought over a dozen jars of fine wine.

Yang Liang smiled and said: "I know that Your Highness is lacking for nothing, and I have nothing to give you, only some fine wine brought from the capital."

"Haha, is there still a lack of wine for Mr. Li to drink here? Maybe he is worried that we will poison him." Meng Zichun said.

Yang Liang laughed loudly: "It's a joke, it's really a joke."

The guests and hosts were divided into seats. Yang Liangliang had a clever mind, and the Silver Blade Guards were all human beings. They only drank the wine they brought and did not touch any of the food on the table.

Yang Liang had a pleasant conversation with Meng Zichun. He could feel that Meng Zichun had been testing him. Yang Liang was also a man who had been in jail and entered official circles.

He is just pretending to be confused, letting you come from all directions, I can't pour water on myself, and I can't get in the oil and salt.

Meng Zichun smiled and said, "Master Li, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Meng Zichun left the main hall and came to the flower hall at the back. A man was sitting here. He was about fifty years old. Because he had taken good care of himself, his skin was much whiter than that of ordinary people. He just looked a little frail.

"How is it? Did he say anything?" Yang Liang asked.

"I would like to report to my father, the child has been tried and tested several times, but he has blocked him all the time. Such a person probably cannot be used by me."

"I already knew it."

King Rong said with a cold face: "I don't know where Yushu, that little girl, found such a person. She wants him to make a knife and plow through all of us."

"The Holy Lord has not been in court for a long time, and he has left all the affairs of the court unattended. He is afraid that the eldest princess has already had his mind to replace him. This Li Qingyang is a bait she has set out."

"Does she want to be the only female emperor of our great dynasty?"

King Rong sneered and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet this imperial envoy from the capital."

In the main hall, Yang Liang was drinking and having fun, while a group of dancers twisted their bodies and cast seductive looks.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Yang Liang turned around and saw a middle-aged man stepping out. Although the man was not tall, he had an indescribable majesty.

"Are you the imperial envoy this time?" King Rong shouted.

Yang Liang stood up and returned the salute: "I see His Royal Highness Prince Rong."

Bang!

King Rong shouted angrily: "The imperial court has given you an errand to serve the country and the people. Are you just here to drink and have fun?"

Yang Liang paused and said, "I heard that King Rong hosted a banquet. Isn't this a good banquet?"

King Rong did not continue this topic and said, "You arrested Chang Sile today. I want to know why?"

Yang Liangdao: "Your Majesty, Chang Sile committed evil crimes when he was the magistrate of Qingzhu County. He committed plunder and numerous crimes. There is evidence from his subordinates."

"Be bold!"

King Rong shouted angrily and said: "You are still confusing right and wrong here. I have heard about it. After you arrived in Qingzhu County, you continued to extort property and demanded gold and silver from beautiful women. In the end, you were bold enough to ask for Chang Sile's wife and maid. Go to bed, Chang Sile refused to comply, so you framed him and put him in jail."

"This……"

Yang Liang was taken aback.

"If you still want to make excuses, let me ask you, have you ever accepted Chang Sile's gold and silver, or have you ever accepted a beauty?" King Rong asked.
