Chapter 147 How cruel

A bystander shouted: "That granary is obviously yours, but you gave it to your brother-in-law."

It is often inconvenient for officials to open their own granaries, and Lord Zhu is not stupid.

Although the store is not under the name of the county magistrate, everyone in the county knows that the person who actually controls it is the county magistrate.

"Nonsense! What's your name? What evidence do you have?"

County Magistrate Zhu looked at the person who spoke with cold eyes.

The man shrank his neck behind the crowd and muttered in a low voice: "Everyone in the county knows it. What other evidence do you need?"

"That's right, it's obviously you who maliciously hoarded food and didn't give us food. How many people have starved to death in the county in the past two days?"

As the disaster became more and more serious, the number of people who died of starvation increased every day.

There were also many people who were starving to death. If there was no food, more and more people would die in the future.

"I didn't open the granary."

Lord Zhu glared at the people fiercely, "What does it have to do with me if there is grain in the granary? Besides, no matter what the price of grain is, the merchants did not force you to buy. You don't have money to buy grain, and you blame me?"

"You... you are obviously making excuses."

"Yes, you are talking nonsense."

"You are our parent official, do you want to wait until all the people below are starving to death, and in the end you are the only one left?"

The people were timid when they spoke, but they were also very hungry.

They knew that if they continued to wait, they would only die.

A commoner suddenly came forward and knelt down in front of Prince Yi: "My Lord, please save us!"

Led by him, the rest of the commoners also hurried over and knelt down: "Please, save us!"

"You have the skills, you can definitely subdue these yamen runners!"

"We don't ask for anything else, just a bowl of porridge!"

...

Watching them kowtow one by one without regard for their lives, Prince Yi was shocked.

He didn't expect the people below to be so inactive.

Just like this Lord Zhu, he is not worthy of being a county magistrate at all.

"Come here! Take this corrupt official down for me!"

Prince Yi's eyes turned cold, and two secret guards stepped forward and kicked Lord Zhu to the ground.

Lord Zhu was in so much pain that he kept groaning, "Help! Are you all dead? Hurry up and take these people down for me!"

At this time, he did not forget to call on the yamen runners in the room.

Two brave ones drew out the swords at their waists and chopped at Prince Yi.

Prince Yi just turned his head and gave them a cold look. The two yamen runners hesitated for a moment, raised their long swords and chopped at them fiercely.

Unfortunately, before the swords fell, Liu Quan had already kicked them out one by one.

[Butler Liu's martial arts are so powerful! Is he more powerful than my father's?]

Yuan Baobao was shocked again. It seems that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace.

[Go and search Lord Zhu's storehouse! There must be a lot of food in it! 】

【There are also his eighteen concubines. There are many valuable things in the room, all of which are the people's fat and blood! 】

Prince Yi's face turned cold and he glanced at Liu Quan.

Liu Quan took the order and led the secret guards into the inner courtyard.

"Who are you? How dare you! There is someone above me!"

Lord Zhu was lying on the ground, and he didn't need anyone to watch him. He couldn't get up for a long time.

Prince Yi put the Yuanbao on the ground and walked to Lord Zhu.

Lord Zhu was so scared that his pupils shrank and his body curled up backwards, "You...what do you want to do!"

"Someone above? Where?"

Prince Yi's face was calm and he looked at him steadily.

"I..."

Lord Zhu opened his mouth. At this time, his mind was smart for once, and he knew not to reveal the person behind him.

"Tell me! I also want to know where you have connections!"

Prince Yi's expression was indifferent, and Yuan Baobao followed behind him, his eyes sparkling.

[I wonder if it's in the state or the court? ]

[Oh, I'm so scared! ]

Prince Yi's mouth twitched, his daughter really knows how to act.

[But it's okay, after the robbery is over, Daddy will take me away! ]

Prince Yi sighed in his heart, he wanted to ask his daughter, is this what it means to run away?

But fortunately, it's not like before.

Lord Zhu heard Yuan Baobao's inner words and was ecstatic.

Just seeing the man's aura, he thought he was some kind of extraordinary figure, but he didn't expect that he had no background.

"My backer is in the capital, and

I have connections in the court!" "Boy, leave now, and I will let bygones be bygones!"

Lord Zhu said in a stern voice, but he was thinking in his heart.

The yamen runners beside him were too useless. After this incident, he must find some martial arts masters and will never be as passive as today.

"Capital? Who?"

Prince Yi was even more curious, but Lord Zhu did not say the man's name.

"Ah..." Prince Yi did not have much patience to begin with, and what Lord Zhu had done was enough for him to die a hundred times.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Lord Zhu's arm, twisted it hard, and heard a snap, and the arm was removed.

Lord Zhu was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat and cried out in pain!

"Aren't you going to say it yet? You don't want the other arm either?"

Prince Yi said, his hand already grasping the other one!

"I..." Lord Zhu opened his mouth but didn't say anything immediately.

He was panicking and felt that it was difficult to talk to the man in front of him.

Could this be a high-ranking official from another place?

Just as he was hesitating, he heard a click, and his other arm was also removed, causing him to scream again in pain.

"You still haven't told me? Then the next one is the leg..."

Prince Yi glanced at Lord Zhu's leg. Lord Zhu didn't care about the pain in his arm, and was so scared that he quickly retracted his two feet: "I said, I said... It's the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."

Prince Yi sneered, "He's just a small minister, and you can use him as a backer to do evil here. It seems that he really doesn't need to continue."

Lord Zhu was shocked. When he heard Prince Yi's nonchalant words, he realized a problem. The identity of the person in front of him was not simple.

Lord Zhu was stunned and suspicious. This person's tone was so big that he didn't even take the high-ranking officials in the capital seriously.

Then what is his identity? He

doesn't even care about the officials in the capital, could it be that he...

"Master, I have searched it, but I didn't find much food!"

Liu Quan came back with a frown. It is said that there should be a lot of food in the mansion of this greedy official. Could it be that he has hidden all the food?

"Take out what you found and cook porridge first, so that the people can eat it first!"

Prince Yi ordered in a deep voice, staring at Lord Zhu with icy eyes.

Lord Zhu shuddered, because of this action, his two dislocated arms hurt again, and he couldn't help groaning in pain.
