Wang Mingyuan gave Xu Sanguan a wink, and Xu Sanguan immediately cleared his throat, "Who is this person below, and what brings you here?"
Mahmud cupped his hands and said, “I am Mahmud, a centurion of the Chimu tribe from the Turkic Kingdom. I have come here today because my people have been beaten and seriously injured here without any reason.”
"Oh, since you say that, do you have any evidence, any witnesses or physical evidence?"
Mahmud shook his head and said, "We don't have any witnesses or physical evidence, but we already know who the assailant is. We can't just fight our own people here, can we?"
Xu Sanguan smiled and said, "The Turks have always been cunning. Even so, I don't think it's impossible. Maybe you're just trying to frame an innocent person?"
The Turks nearby couldn't contain their fiery tempers after hearing this and immediately launched into a tirade of curses.
Mahmud did not intervene immediately, allowing these people to spout nonsense.
Wang Mingyuan raised his eyes, and that slight pressure surged forth. "Noisy!"
As the gavel slammed down, more than a dozen bailiffs continued to strike their batons, which were used to intimidate the officials.
Mahmud quickly raised his hand, "Sir, we have just arrived in your esteemed land and are not yet familiar with the rules here, so please forgive us."
A thoughtful look appeared in Wang Mingyuan's eyes. Wahamu must have deliberately made these people make a fuss.
They deliberately made me speak because they saw that I wasn't saying anything.
"Now that you know who did it, I think that given your Turkic nature, there's no need for me to settle things for you. Why don't you resolve it yourselves?"
Mahmud shook his head. "Since we're already here, we should naturally follow the rules of your esteemed place. We can't make things difficult for you, so let your own people handle this matter."
Wang Mingyuan said calmly, "Oh, it seems you are a sensible person, which is somewhat different from the barbarians I usually know. I just wonder how long you can maintain this attitude?"
Mahmud was not angry at all. "Lord Wang is joking. After all, there are so many things we can learn from the Central Plains, so we should learn them properly. If Lord Wang is willing to share his knowledge, I would be very happy."
"Then I'd like to ask you who you're suing, and see if you're in the right or not. If you're in the wrong, then this matter probably needs to be reconsidered."
Mahmud naturally embellished the previous story about the Turks, making it completely untrue. But what could the people present do even if they knew the truth?
As scouts for the mission, they were not part of the mission itself. No matter how you look at it, Ning Ye would probably be guilty of a capital offense.
If Wang Mingyuan were to personally deal with Ning Ye, it would be another blow to the people's morale, which is exactly what Mahmud wanted.
Wang Mingyuan couldn't help but wonder, even though the Daqian Dynasty was indeed weakened.
But the Turks are clearly different from before, yet no one has ever been seen standing in the spotlight. Why does this person have to stay behind the scenes?
Now even an ex-husband is incredibly sharp-witted. Given time, the Turks will surely become a real threat.
Wang Mingyuan casually pulled out a command token. "Mahamu, I ask you who fired this shot. Tell me now, and I will send men to arrest them immediately."
"Reporting to Your Excellency, it is indeed Ning Ye, the owner of the Cloud Soap Shop. Please arrest him immediately."
Wang Mingyuan casually tossed the command token out, while Xu Sanguan led a team of constables directly to the Cloud Soap Shop.
The group was in a great hurry, without any attempt to hide anything, and seemed to be really going to make a big deal out of this.
The people who knew about this incident were not necessarily mourning in their hearts, after all, no matter how you looked at it, Ning Ye had made a huge mess this time.
Although Ning Ye rarely comes from Qingyuan County, every time he does, he makes a lot of purchases, which boosts the economy to some extent.
If Ning Ye were to see some of the poor people, he might lend a hand, though not much, but it would be a lifesaver for them.
In addition, Ning Ye's usual deeds can be described as virtuous acts that have earned him a wide reputation. If the people don't like such a person, then who knows what else in the world would be able to satisfy them?
Ning Ye had been waiting calmly for Xu Sanguan's arrival. "I knew Lord Wang wouldn't send anyone else, he would only send you. How about experiencing what it feels like to have these shackles put on me by my own hands?"
Xu Sanguan said irritably, "I knew that with your temperament, you would cause trouble sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to almost cause the sky to fall this time. Of all people to mess with, you had to pick on these difficult guys?"
Ning Ye smiled and said, "I really don't think there's anything about them that's untouchable. If there is, then I'll fight them anyway. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens, okay?"
Xu Sanguan's eyes held a hint of admiration. "Although it was a bit reckless, it was indeed satisfying. Come with me, but once we get there, you must not say anything carelessly. If you say something wrong and they catch you red-handed, things will get complicated."
"It seems Lord Wang is determined to protect me this time. Oh dear, then it seems I should be fine."
Xu Sanguan laughed and scolded, "I think you were right. You knew the adults wouldn't abandon you, which is why you did this. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have been the one to stick your neck out."
Ning Ye chuckled and said, "Master Xu, you can't say that. I'm absolutely doing this to rid the people of a scourge. Besides, they've already come knocking on our door. If I don't show any attitude, wouldn't we be easy targets to bully?"
Although Xu Sanguan didn't say anything, he actually agreed with Ning Ye's actions. It's satisfying for anyone to vent their anger.
There's no need to bring shackles or anything like that. Ning Ye just needs to go along. Anyway, we're on our own territory. How could we let these Turks cause any trouble?
When Ning Ye swaggered into the courtroom, even Wang Mingyuan felt it was a bit too much. After all, when did this guy wrap himself in a white cloth?
