"That's what the little girl said!"

"If the prince were the emperor, he would definitely be better than he is now."

"The prince is the one who truly loves us people!"

"The prince is here, and only then can we have a good life!"

"Shut up!" Bai Yu frowned and shouted angrily, "Just think about these words in your mind. Are you saying these things in public now to harm the prince?"

"We dare not..."

Ning Que just smiled and raised his hand.

Tell Bai Yu not to be so nervous.

It's only a matter of time anyway.

Sometimes he can't do what he wants.

Like some idiotic novels, the hero is already at the gates of the city, but the heroine comes out and starts a verbal attack, and the hero finally gives up the throne. In fact, if you use your brain, you will know that this is impossible.

Rebellion is not something that can be accomplished on a whim.

It's not just the protagonist's business.

It doesn’t matter if the protagonist dies, but what about the generals under his command?

Everyone will be implicated then!

It’s just a Nine Clans Elimination Game!

Ning Que is facing this problem now.

He actually has no interest in the throne.

But Emperor Feng killed his father and brother, so he can't be blamed.

Since we're on the battlefield, there's no room for compromise. It's either you or me. Even if Ning Que doesn't consider himself, his unborn child, and the lives and property of generals like Tie Niu and Bai Yu... are at stake!

"Anping County Magistrate Zuo Ankang pays homage to His Majesty."

Finally, Tie Niu brought the person.

This man is quite handsome and young.

It is obvious that he was promoted by Emperor Feng as an exception.

However, Ning Que didn't even look at him.

Throw the wooden sign that the little girl was hanging in front of him.

"Sell yourself to save your mother."

"This is what happens under your rule."

"What do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, it's better not to get involved in this matter." Zuo Ankang raised his head and said as a matter of course: "Your Highness can cure this woman's illness, but he can't cure poverty. The most difficult disease to cure in this world is also poverty. Everyone should pay the price for their choices. Even if Your Highness can save them, he can't save everyone in this world."

"Is this County Magistrate Zuo's brilliant idea?"

"I am just telling the truth."

Zuo Ankang raised his hands and bowed deeply.

He is the emperor's confidant.

I have always disliked Ning Que's behavior.

Ning Que is a prince, so he must know how to avoid suspicion.

But he always likes to show kindness to the people.

When the emperor gave him a reward, he gave it to the people.

What, what do you want to do?

Use the rewards from the emperor to buy people's hearts?

Even if Ning Que didn't have this idea, it would still be an act of usurpation!

It is true that Ning Que is a prince, but a prince is also a subject.

Since you are a minister, you must abide by your duties.

"You mean, because I can't save the people of this world, I won't save the people in front of me?" Ning Que stood up and pressed on, "According to you, should I just ignore it and let the people die?"

"This... is just business as usual."

"The affairs of the people of the world are public affairs!"

"I'm asking you, did her father die defending Anping County?"

"This matter is still under investigation." Zuo Ankang appeared very calm and continued, "If he is indeed a hero, the pension will definitely not be less. However, there are too many people to verify at the moment, and the county government is short of manpower, so we can only wait."

"This king does not want to wait."

"I'm asking you, what should we do now?"

"Are you going to watch them die?"

"Your Highness, these are all rules." Zuo Ankang raised his head and said seriously, "At most, for Your Highness's sake, I can verify their family's situation first."

"How long will that take?"

"At least ten days."

Ning Que laughed immediately.

This bastard doesn't even consider the people as human beings. With the little power he has, he wants to wield his sword against the weaker ones. As a county magistrate, instead of thinking about how to benefit the people, he deliberately criticizes them under the pretext of abiding by the rules.

"What about their life or death?"

"There's nothing the lower officials can do."

"No way?" Ning Que's eyes were icy. "I thought you had conducted a thorough investigation, but now you're just going to ignore their lives? As the county magistrate, you're the father and mother of Anping County, yet the people under your jurisdiction are selling their children for food. You were once the Minister of Personnel, and I heard you had dozens of slaves in your household. You love eating duck tongues, and you'd kill ten ducks for a single meal, yet you let the people die before your eyes."

"With your actions, I suspect you are one of Tian Zhongxun's remnants. Come, arrest this thief and throw him into jail. I will personally interrogate him and make a decision after the investigation is complete!"

"good!!!"

"Well done, my Lord!"

"Your Highness is right. This kind of county magistrate who watched someone die without helping must be related to Tian Zhongxun. He is deliberately trying to harm us and the entire Linzi!"

"Lock him up first and interrogate him slowly!"

"You...you want to lock me up?" Zuo Ankang was immediately shocked and said quickly, "I am the county magistrate appointed by His Majesty himself. Your Highness, if you directly lock me up, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's anger?"

"Hey, you're wrong. According to the procedures, it's reasonable for me to imprison you. I'm responsible for suppressing the rebellion and eliminating the remaining remnants, and your actions make me reasonably suspect that you are colluding with Tian Zhongxun. Moreover, I am only suspecting that I am temporarily detaining you. After the investigation is complete, I will release you. Even if you are dissatisfied, you can only report to the county governor, and you cannot report the news to His Majesty."

“You…you…”

Zuo Ankang stared wide-eyed.

Then he was taken down by Tie Niu. He wanted to resist, but was kicked to the ground with both his hands held tightly.
