Chapter 130: Imprisoned
Even so, the man was still unwilling to give up and tried to strangle her, but Yuan Siyin twisted her arm with her other hand and twisted it hard. With a crack, her arm was dislocated.
Governor Wei immediately screamed in agony, his eyes blazing with fury as he looked at Yuan Siyin, “You wretch! Let me go! Let me go!”
What did I do wrong?! Why are you arresting me?!
"It seems Governor Wei has gone mad, and there's a risk of him hurting people."
Governor Fang wiped his sweat and suggested in a low voice, "Why not parade him through the streets and lock him up in jail?"
"Good idea."
"I will go and call men to take this madman away immediately."
Having said that, the governor disregarded his composure and got up to run out.
Yuan Siyin then lowered her eyes to look at the person struggling under her command: "You don't even remember what you did. Lord Wei is really forgetful."
"It goes without saying that you accepted bribes and amassed wealth, but you were also behind the drug price gouging, weren't you?"
The people of Huaizhou are living in fear and struggling to make a living. You, as the governor, only know how to indulge in pleasure and have done nothing else.
What a fine governor who speaks up for the people! What a benevolent official!
Yuan Siyin was most indignant that he had set his sights on military pay and provisions.
The borderlands are harsh and cold. Soldiers are stationed far from home to protect their territory, and they rarely see their families. Some even sacrifice themselves and die on the battlefield.
But now, these corrupt officials are embezzling our supplies.
What kind of despicable person would do something like this?
Yuan Siyin was so angry that her head was buzzing. She punched him in the face, making his nose bleed profusely.
Governor Wei was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't make a sound.
"A scourge can live for a thousand years. Don't worry, Lord Wei, you won't die."
Seeing Governor Fang rush in with his men, Yuan Siyin slowly released her grip, watching as two men lifted him up and dragged him out.
"Your Excellency the Governor."
Summoned suddenly, the governor froze, turning around with some trepidation to reply, "What are your orders, Princess?"
"There are some things that even if I don't tell you, the governor already knows."
I am a member of the Yuan family.
"Yes." The governor's heart suddenly stopped, and he broke out in even more sweat on his back.
"What people do is always seen by Heaven. I'm not exactly a long-handed person, unless you rub sand into my eyes."
As she spoke, she smiled slightly, her eyes curving like crescent moons. "I've never had a good temper."
"Yes, Princess."
"As for His Majesty..."
"I will certainly report as usual, recommend the new governor for office, and ensure that the practice of accepting bribes will not be repeated."
"The princess likely doesn't want His Majesty to know about your actions. Rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut and won't let a word slip."
To show his loyalty, the governor hurriedly replied.
"Since the governor is sincere, I will not make things difficult for you."
But ultimately, you only feel at ease when you have leverage over someone, don't you think?
As if remembering something, Yuan Siyin paused for a moment, then said, "I'll leave the rest to you, sir. I'll keep inquiring about it from time to time."
With that, she clapped her hands and walked away gracefully.
"This humble official respectfully sees the princess off."
The governor finally managed to send the person away after a long day. Although he didn't get the documents back, with her words and the two of them checking and balancing each other, he was somewhat relieved.
"My lord, the governor has fainted. What should we do now?"
Although the guards were the governor's men, they really didn't know whose orders to take.
The governor's face darkened, and he angrily waved his sleeve: "Do you even need to ask? Take him away and parade him through the streets when he wakes up!"
He almost lost his official position. Shouldn't he have been paraded through the streets and imprisoned instead of being allowed to live out the New Year?
