Chapter 253 Meeting Ling is like meeting the Emperor

After listening to Ye Chutang's advice, some people rushed to the vegetable market, while others returned home.

There are endless rotten vegetable leaves to pick up at the vegetable market, rotten water that has not been dumped out at home, and gravel all over the ground.

As for rotten eggs, some people raise chickens at home and can find some.

While the people were busy preparing things to humiliate Prince Yong's Mansion, Han Chong went to Prince Yong's Mansion with the emperor's token.

The old King Yong did not sleep all night and his face became older.

He stayed by his son's side with a high fever and asked the court doctor, "How is Rui'er doing?"

"Your Highness, the prince is not only seriously injured, but also has a high fever due to inflammation of the wound. If the fever doesn't subside, the prince may not be able to survive."

Prince Yong did not expect it to be so serious and was so angry that he kicked the court doctor to the ground.

"If you can't save Rui'er, I will make you pay with your life!"

After he finished yelling, he said to the maidservant beside him: "No matter what method you use, I must invite Doctor Jin to come here!"

The maid tried to go out of the house to invite Doctor Jin last night, but was stopped by the officials.

Not to mention calling in a doctor, even the message couldn’t be delivered.

Thinking of this, she immediately knelt down.

"My Lord, I am incompetent. I tried last night, but couldn't get out."

King Yong was so angry that his heart ached.

He kicked over the stool and roared angrily: "Jizhou City is my fiefdom. How dare the government surround Prince Yong's mansion? This is outrageous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the door of the room was kicked open.

"Bang!"

The door hit the table in the main room and cracked.

King Yong was so frightened that his heart started beating wildly and he almost fell to the ground.

"Who? Who is so ignorant that he dares to disturb Rui'er's rest?"

"I, Han Chong!"

Prince Yong didn't know who Han Chong was, nor did he know what happened in the prefectural government last night.

Just as he was about to continue scolding, Han Chong entered Zhao Sirui's bedroom holding the emperor's token.

"Meeting the emperor is like meeting the emperor, Prince Yong, please perform the ceremony."

Although Prince Yong was not favored when he was a prince, he lived in the palace for more than ten years and had seen the token that read "As if I were present in person."

He knelt down reluctantly, "Long live the emperor!"

After saying that, he prepared to get up.

Han Chong raised his foot and stepped on his shoulder, pressing him so that he could not move.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered this official to investigate corrupt officials and those who abuse their power for personal gain along the way, and to restore peace to the people."

King Yong looked at the stinky feet next to his face and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"You don't think that you are the emperor just because you have a token, do you? I am a member of the royal family. Even if I make a mistake, it will be handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. It is not your turn to make decisions!"

He regretted very much that he did not have private soldiers, otherwise he would not be so passive!

After thinking that the emperor would never interfere in Jizhou's affairs, he immediately felt relieved and looked at Han Chong provocatively.

"The token in your hand can only control local officials, not the royal family..."

Before Prince Yong could finish his words, Han Chong blocked his mouth with the tip of his shoe.

"Noisy!"

Han Chong didn't want to listen to King Yong's nonsense, so he lifted his jaw.

He said to the official who followed him, "Take the prince and the prince to the prefectural government."

Regardless of the excruciating pain in his mouth, King Yong immediately rushed to the bed and opened his arms to protect his unconscious son.

“Ahhhhh…”

He couldn't speak and could only make rapid sounds, like an old hen protecting her chicks.

The officials first arrested Prince Yong, then Zhao Sirui, and took the father and son to the prefectural government.

The prefectural government was surrounded by the people.

King Yong looked at the people who were carrying vegetable baskets, stale water, stones and rotten eggs. He was frightened by the hatred in their eyes and lowered his head to avoid their unfriendly gazes.

When he entered the court and saw the uneasy Princess Yong, as well as the prefect, the governor, and the commander-in-chief with cold faces, he knew that he was finished.

"I am the master of Jizhou City. Do you want to rebel?"

Kong Zhizhou corrected him, "King Yong, Jizhou City belongs to the people, you are just a king in exchange for the taxes."

Governor Liu: "Before, the emperor didn't care about Jizhou City's affairs, and our repeated memorials were ignored. Now that the emperor's confidant is willing to handle the prince's affairs, we will fully cooperate."

Prince Yong pointed at Han Chong angrily and said, "You have now surrendered to Qi Yanzhou and are no longer the emperor's man. You are not qualified to act on his behalf!"

"The emperor has not taken back my token, so I am qualified. If Prince Yong is dissatisfied, he can write a letter to the emperor to see if the emperor will disregard the law and blindly favor the prince."

"You know very well that the emperor will never read the letters from Jizhou!"

Han Chong looked at the furious King Yong and chuckled.

"Isn't it because the Emperor never reads the memorials sent to Jizhou that Prince Yong blindly indulges the Crown Prince in oppressing the people?"

The emperor once didn't care about the lives of the people of Jizhou, and now he doesn't care about the life and death of King Yong.

fair enough.

King Yong gritted his teeth and said, "I am a prince, how can I compare to those lowly people!"

"Don't worry, King Yong. You will soon become a pariah as well!"

After Han Chong finished speaking, he walked to the hearing table and sat down.

He looked at Yuan Wei who was kneeling on the ground and took out the evidence on the table.

"Yuan Wei, you bribed people from the underworld to assassinate Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi. The evidence is irrefutable. Will you plead guilty?"

With the evidence and witnesses in front of him, Yuan Wei had no choice but to plead guilty.

Otherwise you will be severely punished.

"I plead guilty!"

Han Chong asked again: "Why did you want to kill Master Qi?"

Yuan Wei secretly glanced at Princess Yong and said, "I want to avenge my cousin, the prince."

He knew very well that it would be of no benefit to him to bite out his aunt.

"Before you hired someone to kill someone, did you meet Princess Yong? Is that true?"

These words made Princess Yong feel nervous.

Yuan Wei admitted: "I have seen it. Because the prince's cousin was injured, my aunt came back to her parents' home to express her concerns. I was furious after hearing that, so I decided to hire someone to kill her."

As soon as he finished his fabricated words, Qi Yanzhou walked through the crowded crowd and threw Princess Yong's personal maid and Old Man Yuan into the court.

"These two people know better than anyone what Princess Yong did when she went to the Yuan family."

Mr. Yuan's bones were almost broken from the fall.

He immediately pointed at Princess Yong and said, "Wei'er asked the people in the martial arts world to kill Master Qi. It was the princess who ordered it."

Princess Yong's personal maid also confirmed this shortly afterwards.

Han Chong looked at the confused Yuan Wei and asked, "Yuan Wei, who came up with the idea to assassinate Master Qi?"

Before Yuan Wei could answer, Old Master Yuan yelled, "Wei'er, this is a court, you have to tell the truth!"

The government already has all the evidence, and continuing to conceal the truth will only lead to the Yuan family's doom.

Seeing that his father had told the truth, Yuan Wei had no choice but to confess.

"It was Princess Yong who asked me to find some scoundrels to deal with Master Qi in order to avenge the Crown Prince."

After hearing this, Princess Yong collapsed to the ground with a deathly pale face.

Han Chong took out some of the evidence that Kong Zhizhou had compiled last night and asked the bailiff to show it to Yuan Wei.

"These are all the evil things you bribed the gangsters to do, right?"

Yuan Wei looked at the thick pile of evidence and his face turned pale.

His lips trembled, and it took him a long time to utter the word "yes".
