The man was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head, not daring to have any more thoughts.
"Ruanruan, tell me what happened?" King Jin touched Ruanruan's little head and looked at Ruanruan's frightened face, feeling distressed and angry.
"Uncle Jin Wang will take care of it for you!"
Ruanruan raised her head, puffed up her cheeks, and pointed at the man opposite.
"He...it's him!"
With someone backing her up, she was like a little kitten with its fur standing on end, so fierce and aggressive.
"He is a bad guy. He took away my aunt's porridge and refused to give it to my aunt and little brother."
"My little brother is about to die, and he's still beating my aunt!"
When she spoke, her eyes were red, and she looked so aggrieved that it almost broke people's hearts.
"Uncle, it's so scary, so soft and scary."
"He just wanted to hit Soft."
Ruanruan turned her head to look at the man, buried her head in King Jin's legs, and patted her chest.
Upon hearing this, King Jin's expression grew even darker. He lowered his eyes and looked at the man on the ground as if he were looking at a dead person.
"What a courage."
"This king sees that you don't want this head anymore!"
It was Ruanruan’s first time here and she was almost bullied.
How can this be!
"Shadow One."
Yingyi has been with Prince Jin for many years and has a tacit understanding with him. As soon as he heard Prince Jin calling him, he knew what the prince was going to do.
His fists had already hardened.
This bold and reckless man scared the little gods in the Prince Jin's Mansion.
Damn it!
Yingyi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "You're really tired of living. How dare anyone bully you?"
The man raised his eyes and met Ying Yi's ghostly gaze. He felt an inexplicable sense of extreme panic in his heart. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. He subconsciously wanted to escape, but was held down by the servants behind him.
Prince Jin leaned over and picked up Ruanruan, put his hand on her back, and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
He glanced around the corner at the dark alley and said, "Take the man inside and keep the noise down."
Ying Yi asked someone to let go of the man's hand, raised his foot and kicked the man into the alley. Once inside, he asked someone to cover the man's mouth and punched him again and again. The sound of the punches was not as loud as the people talking outside.
In an instant, the people were dragged out, and the outside suddenly became quiet again, and no one dared to make a sound.
The man's face was covered with bruises and he looked completely different from before.
King Jin glanced at him, frowned slightly, and seemed still not satisfied.
He held his limp ears.
"Yingyi, how should we punish him according to the rules?"
Ying Yi said, "The rules of the porridge distribution in the prefectural government are that everyone has a share. You are not allowed to ask for more without permission, and you are not allowed to bully the weak. If you disobey, you will be whipped thirty times."
"How should we punish the young lady who contradicts the Prince of Jin's mansion?"
"If an inferior offends his superior, he shall be punished with ten strokes of the cane."
"What about the young lady who plotted to harm Prince Jin's mansion?"
"He deserves to die!"
The man was so frightened that he shouted, "Please spare my life, my lord! I will never do that again!"
King Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "Since Ruanruan is here today, there is no need to kill him. I will show leniency."
When the man heard this, he felt relieved and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"But he could not escape his crime. Yingyi dragged him to the porridge stall and gave him eighty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
King Jin's words were like a bolt from the blue.
The man was stunned. His face turned pale with fright and he broke out in sweat.
Eighty lashes of the cane!
That's no different from taking his life.
No!
The only difference is that he has to suffer physical pain.
sky!
Who on earth did he offend?
"Your Majesty, please spare me..."
Before the other party could speak, Prince Jin ordered Ying to drag the man away.
The people around were trembling and didn't even dare to raise their heads.
The woman hugged the child, her eyes red with tears, "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Miss."
Ruanruan took out a purse from her pocket and took out six White Rabbit milk candies from it.
"This is candy for my brother."
"Thank you, Miss!" The woman knelt down and kowtowed.
The woman put the candy in the child's mouth. The child pursed his lips, half-closed his eyes, and whispered: "Mom is candy, it's candy——"
"I...am I dreaming?"
"No, silly boy, you're eating candy."
King Jin motioned Yingyi to bring over two bowls of porridge. The people squatting under the eaves looked over with fiery eyes.
The woman took the bowl of porridge and excitedly wanted to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Ying Yi.
The woman held the bowl of fragrant porridge to the child's mouth. The child opened his mouth slightly, but before the porridge could be taken in, he spat it out.
Others looked at the rice porridge spit out on the ground with regret in their eyes.
"Drink something, kid...drink a little and you won't be hungry anymore."
"Don't leave me alone. How can I live alone?"
The woman choked with sobs, her eyes red.
The child pushed the porridge bowl and said, "Mom...you...drink."
He seemed to know that he would not survive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save my child. Let us serve you like slaves!"
It seemed that she could only place all her hopes on this man who gave hope to the people of Youzhou and was like a god in everyone's hearts.
"It's no use asking me for help. I don't know any medical skills." King Jin said.
The woman was a little desperate. She slowly hugged her child and burst into tears.
"Uncle, can Ruanruan try it?" Ruanruan grabbed the hem of King Jin's clothes, bit her lips, and frowned.
The people here are much more miserable than the children in the impoverished mountainous areas she has seen on TV.
Ruanruan couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Of course, if Ruanruan is willing."
