Nie Shan slowly scanned the entire audience, and the huge lotus tent suddenly became quiet. The people he scanned unconsciously shrank their necks or lowered their heads.

I have to say that Nie Shan has a strong aura.

"How many people died?" Nie Shan asked in a cold voice without a trace of emotion.

A leading yamen runner bowed and reported: "Reporting to the governor, two people were killed and several others were seriously injured."

"Why did he die?"

"Reporting to the Lord, judging from the manner of their deaths, one appears to have been hit on the head with a brick, and the other was killed by being trampled."

Nie Shan slowly walked up to the nearest dead man, looked down, and asked the yamen runner, "Can you confirm who threw the brick that killed someone?"

"There are too many people and I am incompetent." The yamen runner lowered his head.

"Hmph!" Nie Shan snorted coldly, turning his gaze towards where Gao Yanei and Wang Hongfu were standing. "If there's nothing we can do, then there's no need to investigate. I just need to find the culprit." He suddenly raised his voice and pointed in Wang Hongfu's direction, saying, "Come on! Capture these scoundrels holding weapons over there and me!"

When the runners heard the order, they looked at each other and stood still. The leading runner hurriedly leaned over to Nie Shan and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Nie Shan slapped him with his hand and scolded him, "Asshole! Princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as common people. No matter who breaks the law, we will punish them! Go! Anyone who dares to disobey my order will be punished with fifty lashes of the cane."

"Yes!" The leading yamen runner covered his face, turned around and shouted angrily at the other yamen runners, "What are you all standing there for? Follow me and arrest him."

All the yamen runners responded in unison and rushed over here.

"We are unarmed and have no weapons. Let's hide aside and watch them arrest people." Gao Yanei pulled Zhang Shixun aside, crossed his arms, and looked at Wang Hongfu with a gloating look.

Wang Hongfu didn't care about the situation at hand. He still held the bench leg arrogantly in his hand, transferring it from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left hand. His mouth was also busy, and he said sarcastically: "Mr. Nie has such great authority. I am scared."

Before he could say anything, the yamen runners rushed to him.

A group of yamen runners were not polite to the followers at all, beating and kicking them, and then tying them up.

But no one dared to attack Wang Hongfu.

The leading yamen runner came to Wang Hongfu and said humbly, "Young Master, please give me some face, drop what you are holding, and follow me."

"What if I don't?" Wang Hongfu looked at him jokingly.

"This..." The leading yamen runner hesitated, glanced back at Nie Shan, and then gritted his teeth, "If the yamen runner disobeys, I will have no choice but to offend him. I have no choice but to obey the orders of the governor."

"You thief! My father is the prime minister of this dynasty. If you have the guts, try it on me!" Wang Hongfu raised the bench leg in his hand and glared at him.

"Yanei, I'm sorry!" The leading yamen runner gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Tie him up."

When the yamen runners heard the order, they rushed forward.

Wang Hongfu was furious and hit the yamen runner in the face with the leg of a bench. The runner cried out "Ouch!" and squatted on the ground, covering his face.

Seeing Wang Hongfu's ruthless attack, the yamen runners became angry. Some grabbed his arms, some held his legs, and forced Wang Hongfu to the ground, then tied him up with his legs spread out.

Because I was angry, I hit him a little too hard.

"You bastard! My father is the prime minister, my father is the prime minister!" Wang Hongfu screamed.

Zhang Shixun almost laughed out loud, "Nah! There are always such dandies who cheat their fathers in every dynasty."

Wang Hongfu struggled, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Nie Shan, you ungrateful bastard! If it weren't for my father recommending you, you wouldn't be where you are today. You ungrateful little... Ouch! My arm..."

By this time, Nie Shan had already arrived and, hearing his rude words, ordered the yamen runners, "Tie him up tighter and gag him, to stop him from talking nonsense and polluting the public."

The yamen runner got a piece of dirty cloth from somewhere and stuffed it into Wang Hongfu's mouth.

Wang Hongfu struggled in vain, making a "woohoo" sound in his throat.

Nie Shan turned his head and looked at Gao Yanei, saying, "Gao Yanei, you are also implicated today. Come with me to the Kaifeng government office."

Gao Yanei was startled, then he bowed and kowtowed, saying humbly, "Master Nie, today's incident has nothing to do with me. Please don't wrongly accuse me."

"Really?" Nie Shan stared at Gao Yanei with a forced smile. "Does today's incident really have nothing to do with you?"

"It really has nothing to do with me." Gao Yanei spread his hands, his face full of grievance: "Not only has it nothing to do with me, on the contrary, I am the victim."

"Oh! You're the victim?" Nie Shan looked surprised. "I've only heard of Gao Yanei bullying others, but I've never heard of you being bullied. How rare!"

"I'm truly a victim. This is no lie." Gao Yanei heard Nie Shan's harsh tone and quickly defended himself. "I came to the opera with my friends today, and somehow I provoked Wang Husun. He and his lackeys attacked me... Your Excellency, look at my nose. It's bleeding profusely. It was Wang Hongfu who did it... Look here, my hands and my clothes are covered in blood... Your Excellency, you have to help me."

Gao Yanei cried and loudly accused Wang Hongfu of crimes.

"Is Wang Husun ​​the man who claims his father is Prime Minister Wang?" Nie Shan snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Wang Hongfu, who was lying on the ground like a dumpling.

He clearly knew who Wang Hongfu was, but he deliberately asked Gao Yanei.

"Oh! It's this guy. He usually relies on his father's power to run rampant in the streets, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil. The evil things he has done are too numerous to list."

Nie Shan snorted and waved his hand, "Take them to the Silusi... Oh! Take Gao Yanei and his accomplices with you."

"Ah!" Gao Yanei opened his mouth wide, and said in shock: "Your Excellency, you are not mistaken, I am the victim, the blood on my body is the proof, Your Excellency Nie..."

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me obediently. If you show any resistance, I will tie you up too." After saying this, Nie Shan glared at him fiercely, shook his sleeves and walked towards the door.

He Ji strolled over, circled in front of Wang Hongfu, and snorted. He then walked over to Gao Yanei, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be afraid, Yanei! A straight body is not afraid of its shadow. Just go to Kaifeng Prefecture... There's nothing to be afraid of. I saw everything that happened today. It wasn't your fault from beginning to end. I can prove it."

Li Shiyi also came over, put his arm around Gao Yanei's shoulders and said, "Brother Gao, you've done a good job. I'll support you."

Gao Yanei, feeling so proud of the support from the two men, puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll fight for justice and redress the grievances of those in Dongjing City who were bullied by Wang Husun."
