Chapter 92 Setting up a trap

"People were beaten half to death, and you call this disciplining children?!" the queen shouted angrily.

Seeing that the queen and the second prince were accompanied by their entourage, and that they were noble in their gestures, these people guessed that they were definitely not ordinary people. When they heard that the second prince had reported the matter to the authorities, their arrogance immediately subsided.

"Your Excellency, you don't understand. We country folk behave rudely, and this is how we discipline our children." One of the old men said.

"Why do we need to report this to the authorities? The county magistrate is busy, so why would he care about our family affairs?"

"Shut up, and don't try to make excuses." The second prince shouted angrily, pushed through the crowd, pulled the beaten young man over, and helped him sit on the riding stool.

"Tell me, what's going on? We're here, don't be afraid, just tell the truth." The second prince said, and gave a wink to several guards, who immediately stood in front of the young man.

"My name is Han Qingbo, and I'm a villager from Laowang Village nearby. My parents are both dead, and I live alone, farming and studying."

[What's his name? Han Qingbo?]

Xia Miaoyuan was held in Yingxue's arms, and she shuddered when she heard the three words Han Qingbo.

[I remember in the book, a conspirator in Liang Chaozong's think tank was named Han Qingbo. Could it be him?]

The queen and the second prince were also secretly surprised when they heard Xia Miaoyuan's voice, and thought, then we should ask about this young man's affairs.

Han Qingbo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and continued, "Yesterday, the village chief asked me to help write a few words. After I finished, he invited me to dinner."

"During dinner, he and his son kept toasting me with wine. I was drunk and passed out." Han Qingbo wiped the blood from his nose. "

When I woke up, it was already midnight. I turned on the light and saw that I was in the village chief's daughter's room. The village chief's daughter Caifeng and I were lying on the same bed." Han Qingbo paused here, as if he was trying to adjust his mood.

"I was so scared that I got up and walked out, but I found that the door was locked."

The queen was shocked: "You mean, the door was locked from the outside?"

"That's right." Han Qingbo nodded.

[Wow, this is obviously a trap set by the village chief's family! This family is really unscrupulous, tut tut tut.]

Xia Miaoyuan curled her lips.

"At this time, Caifeng woke up and shouted loudly, and the village chief and others came."

"They opened the door and didn't ask a single question. They just said that I had drunk and raped their daughter..." Han Qingbo said in a difficult tone.

"They told me to marry Caifeng, otherwise they would report me to the county government for raping a decent woman, put me in jail, and no longer be eligible to take the imperial examination..."

The queen's face was gloomy: "Did you rape Caifeng?"

"Madam, I, Han Qingbo, swear to heaven that I was drunk and unconscious last night, and I really didn't do anything!" Han Qingbo said, and tears fell.

"Since they said that you just need to marry Caifeng and this matter will be over, why did they beat you again?" The second prince looked puzzled.

"That Caifeng is a fool, I don't want to marry her. At dawn this morning, I used the excuse of going to the toilet and climbed over the wall to run out. They chased me all the way, and..." Han Qingbo wiped his tears.

Xia Miaoyuan heard this and showed an expression of enjoying a good meal: [No wonder, Cai Feng is a fool. No wonder he resorted to such despicable means.]

[The village chief's family is simply not human. They are clearly bullying Han Qingbo because he has no father or mother, no power or influence and is easy to bully. They set up a trap to cheat him.]

"Who reported it to the officials?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came over.

Two yamen runners rode over.

The second prince bowed to them and said, "My two officers, I asked the servant to report to the authorities."

"My mother and I were on our way, and we met a group of people beating a young man, almost beating him half to death."

The leading yamen runner frowned, "How could such a thing happen?"

At this time, the gray-haired old man in the crowd came over, walked up to the yamen runner, and said with a big smile on his face, "Li Bantou, it's me."

"Oh, isn't this the village chief of Laowang Village? Did you beat him up?" The yamen runner surnamed Li raised his eyebrows, and his tone was very familiar.

"It's just a small matter. The young man is ignorant, and the elders in the village should educate the young man." The village chief said lightly.

[This is shameless, calling a group beating education. The princess said that you are rude in your words and deeds, and I have to educate you every day! 】

Xia Miaoyuan clenched his fists in anger.

"You..." Han Qingbo was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't speak.

"So that's what happened! No problem!"

Li Yayi said with a smile, then turned to look at the second prince and said, "Young man passing by, you want to report such a small matter to the police! Come on, get in the car and continue on your way. I advise you to mind your own business!" The

second prince was so angry that his eyes widened and veins on his forehead jumped.

He took a few steps back, rushed towards Li Yayi, then jumped up and kicked Li Yayi off his horse.

"You bastard, you dare to confuse me in front of me! You are tired of living!" The second prince gritted his teeth.

Because this kick happened so fast, everyone present was shocked.

The queen's face turned pale: "Chengnian, calm down."

[Wow! Second brother is so handsome! This kick is so cool and handsome! ]

Xia Miaoyuan looked up at the second prince with admiration, with stars in her eyes.

Li Yayi fell off the horse, but it was really a heavy fall. The village chief and others came forward to help him up, and tried several times before they helped him up.

"Damn it!" Li Yayi cursed, but before he finished speaking, he was covered by another Yayi with the surname Qian.

When Qian Yayi heard the second prince call himself the palace, and heard the woman call him "Chengnian", his head buzzed.

He remembered that the second son of the current queen was named Chengnian.

The royal family had many taboos, and the common people would never dare to name their children with the same name as the prince.

Therefore, the one in front of him was most likely the half-brother of the current crown prince, and the biological son of the queen!

"Excuse me, who are you, madam and young master?" Qian asked in a gentle tone.

The empress was traveling incognito with her two children this time, and her original intention was not to reveal her identity.

But things have developed to this point, and it is impossible to continue to hide her identity.

She silently took off a jade pendant from her waist and winked at Sang Qi.

Sang Qi took the jade pendant, walked up to them and showed it to them.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at the patterns on it!" Sang Qi's tone was very cold and hard.

The moment Li and Qian focused their eyes on the jade pendant, they all shuddered, and then they were so scared that their lips trembled and they couldn't speak.

"Captain Li, what's wrong with you? Are you scared by a bunch of outsiders?" The village chief was puzzled and angry.

With a thump, the two yamen runners, Li and Qian, knelt down in front of the empress.

In the imperial family of Daxia, there are patterns representing the members of the royal family. These patterns are carved on different materials and made into waist badges. They are worn by the members of the royal family, which is equivalent to their ID cards.

The waist badges of the emperor and the empress are made of mutton-fat jade.
