"Who told you that?"
“I don’t know, I was just passing by.
They were all wrapped up very tightly and spoke very seriously, afraid that I wouldn't understand or remember, so they told me several times.
Afterwards, they asked me to repeat it many times to make sure I really remembered it. They also taught me how to start and say it in order to attract other people's attention and make more people believe it was true.
They told me to say it, it has nothing to do with me! Please spare me!"
"What benefit did you receive? If there was no benefit, would you take such a big risk and say these words in front of so many people on such an occasion? If you don't tell the truth, you will be punished for simply slandering the prince!"
Hearing this, the man was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"I was wrong! I admit that I accepted the money! I said these words because I accepted the money!
I really know I was wrong! I will never do it again! Please forgive me this time! "
When the people around heard this, they all showed contempt and attacked and cursed him.
They just believed what he said!
But now I tell them that those are all fabricated!
The person who died inside was not Prince Chen at all!
They were all deceived!
This is a great shame and humiliation for all the people, as if telling them that they are brainless and they believe whatever others say.
When Sang Jueqian looked at this scene, he always felt like he was surfing the Internet face to face.
One person came out and said something, and everyone else believed it and followed suit.
Once this person is exposed, others will come over and scold him, blaming all the mistakes on him.
It seems that only in this way can they prove that they are all right.
It turns out that no matter which dynasty it is, the same thing will happen, but the form of occurrence will be different.
Although it was full of drama, overall the outcome was good.
The county magistrate and others were all dead, and Li Junyan's reputation was preserved.
The county town was temporarily taken over by the military, awaiting the arrival of a new county magistrate.
In just one night, the entire county underwent earth-shaking changes.
Yesterday evening, this place looked like a gloomy and empty city.
But today, all the shops are open, smiles are on people's faces again, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
Whether it is a snack shop or a restaurant or inn, the rich aroma of food wafts out.
Li Junyan's room on the second floor of the inn.
The shopkeeper and his waiter brought a table full of delicious food, "Sir, such a good thing happened in our county today, we should celebrate it well.
Young Master just arrived last night, and the county magistrate died last night. We were able to return to normal life so quickly, and we have to thank you for the good luck you brought us.
This table of food is my way of thanking you, sir. I won't charge you a penny. Please enjoy your meal."
After saying that, the shopkeeper left with the waiter and considerately helped close the door.
After a while, the door was opened again and a figure quickly flashed in.
After closing the door, the man quickly knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and whispered, "I am Ma Chenguang, your Highness!"
This person was none other than the armored general from before.
"Yeah." Li Junyan responded, "No need to be polite, get up!"
Ma Chenguang slowly stood up, still with his head bowed, his face full of guilt. "This happened, but I failed to notice it immediately, damaging Your Highness's reputation. You even asked Your Highness to personally resolve this matter. This is my dereliction of duty. Please punish me!"
As he said that, Ma Chenguang knelt on the ground again, this time prostrating himself.
Li Junyan lowered his eyes and looked at Ma Chenguang, but did not ask him to get up. "You were stationed nearby, but you didn't notice the incident immediately. You are indeed derelict in your duty.
But the most important thing about this matter is that it affects my reputation?
What did I tell you before? No matter what, you must always put the people first!
It doesn’t matter that my reputation is damaged, what matters is that the people suffer because of it!
Before your troops leave this place, I will entrust this place to you. If something like this happens again, you will bring your head to me."
Ma Chenguang kowtowed heavily and responded in a deep voice, "Yes. I obey your command."
"Get up!"
Only then did Ma Chenguang dare to stand up from the ground, but his forehead was already red and a little swollen.
This shows how much strength he used when he kowtowed just now.
Sang Jueqian grimaced as he watched, his head must be buzzing.
But looking at Ma Chenguang's expression, he seemed like nothing had happened!
Sure enough, those who can work under a prince like Li Junyan are not ordinary people!
