Chapter 89 A beast like you is not worthy of being a human being
The master and servant were arguing with each other in public, their faces red with anger.
Hu Yong was forced into a corner and directly exposed the other party's past.
"You have a concubine in your backyard. I found her for you from Xinlin Village! Your Highness Prince Jin, please send someone to the Fang family's backyard to bring her here. She will definitely be able to testify!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Chengqi's expression changed.
Little Tiger became excited, "It's my sister, it must be my sister! Your Highness Prince Jin, please, please rescue my sister! She is my only relative in this world."
Xiao Yanci gave He Yun a look, and he immediately turned and left.
Cold sweat slowly seeped out of Fang Chengqi's face, and time became particularly unbearable at this moment.
Little Tiger stretched his neck to look outside, his eyes filled with nervousness and anticipation.
After an unknown amount of time, there was finally movement outside the crowd.
Everyone made way for them, and two stout women came slowly over, supporting a thin woman.
The woman's face was pale, her face was thin, her cheeks were sunken, and her body was as thin as a piece of paper. If someone hadn't supported her, she would have fallen down long ago.
Little Tiger rushed forward, "Sister, it's really you!"
Chun Xing rolled her eyes slowly, staring at him for several breaths, two lines of tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Huzi, is that you?"
"It's me, sis, I finally found you!"
The brother and sister hugged each other and cried bitterly. Their cries could be heard from far away, and even the people who heard them could not help but feel a pang of sadness in their hearts.
"Your Highness, when I arrived at the Fang family, Miss Chun Xing was locked up in her own courtyard. No one brought her food, no one provided charcoal, and she had no warm clothes. She could only feed on the wild vegetables and grasses in the courtyard. I gave her a bowl of porridge and two slices of ginseng, and she regained some of her spirit. If I had waited a few more days, I'm afraid she would..."
When Xiao Huzi heard this, his eyes turned bloodshot.
He rushed forward with his fists raised, hitting Fang Chengqi's head and face.
"You beast! You took my sister back by force, but you didn't treat her well. You are worse than pigs and dogs. I will beat you to death right now!"
Xiao Huzi was already very strong, and when he was furious, his strength became even more astonishing. Fang Chengqi was pinned to the ground and beaten by him, with no power to fight back.
The Xing family's guards hurried over to pull the man away. It took quite a while before they finally pulled him away. Fang Chengqi was already covered in bruises.
But no one sympathized with him, and some even felt that the beating was not harsh enough.
Chun Xing wanted to kneel down, but Xiao Yanci stopped her and asked someone to bring her a chair.
"You sit down and answer."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. My name is Li Chunxing, and I am from Xinlin Village, Hui'an County. Three years ago..."
She slowly recounted how the people of Xinlin Village had lost their lands step by step due to schemes, and how she had been taken into the Fang family.
Her story completely matched that of Xiao Huzi and Uncle Li, down to every detail.
"Fang Chengqi is insatiable and inhumane. He's capable of anything for his own selfish ends. He's a beast! There are other women like me who have been abducted in the Fang family's backyard. Furthermore, besides Xinlin Village, he's also seized a lot of farmland from several nearby villages. The county magistrate accepted bribes and colluded with him, with no regard for our lives!"
"He had long since despised me, and the mistress also regarded me as a thorn in her side. She beat me with sticks for the first year or two, and then she left me to fend for myself in the mansion."
"I was unwilling to die like this. No matter how difficult it was, I tried my best to live. I grew vegetables in the yard and managed to get through it. But this winter was so cold that I thought I couldn't make it. Unexpectedly, someone finally came to save me..."
By the end of her speech, her face was covered with tears.
Little Tiger's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists, wishing he could beat the beast up again.
When everyone heard this, they felt sorry for him.
Chun Xing struggled to get up from the chair, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily in the direction of Xiao Yanci.
"Every word I said is true. I implore His Royal Highness Prince Jin to thoroughly investigate this matter and give me justice, as well as justice to the people of Xinlin Village!"
Xiao Huzi and everyone in Xinlin Village also knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Yanci.
The sound of his knocking was like a series of heavy blows hitting his heart, causing him to feel a dull and painful pain in his chest.
He thought that the people of the Great Qi Dynasty all lived and worked in peace and contentment. Even if they were not rich, at least they had enough food and clothing.
But what happened today revealed the cruel truth behind the beautiful appearance.
In corners that he couldn't see, there were so many people experiencing unknown suffering.
They don't have enough to eat, they don't have warm clothes, and even living is extremely difficult.
He leaned over and helped them up one by one.
His eyes were deep, and his tone was more solemn than ever before. "This prince is aware of this matter. I have seen your injustice. I will personally report this to the emperor, and he will make the final decision. The emperor is very discerning and understands the people's grievances. He will definitely give you a fair result."
His words were as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, and Xiao Huzi's eyes suddenly turned red again.
The dirty little hands grabbed the corner of Xiao Yanci's clothes, "Your Highness, you are such a good person!"
There was a stain on the corner of his clothes, but Xiao Yanci didn't care and raised his hand to touch the top of his head.
"Remember what I said, men don't shed tears easily. Wipe away your tears."
Little Tiger immediately raised his hand and quickly wiped away his tears, "I will never cry again!"
Xiao Yanci patted his shoulder, and his thin shoulders immediately straightened a little.
At this moment, a seed was planted in the little boy's heart.
He wants to grow up quickly, practice martial arts, become stronger, and become a tall and heroic man like King Jin, so that he can protect his family!
Fang Chengqi finally found his own voice.
"Jin, Your Highness Prince Jin, I know I was wrong. All my mistakes are mine. Please show mercy and forgive me this time. From now on, I will turn over a new leaf and be a good person!"
Xiao Yanci looked at him, his eyes as cold as ice.
"A beast like you is not worthy of being a human being. Come, take them into custody and await trial!"
Fang Chengqi collapsed into a pile of mud. He hurriedly turned to Lu Guanxuan, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Brother-in-law, please save me, brother-in-law, I am your uncle!"
Lu Guanxuan couldn't avoid it, "Get away, I don't have a brother-in-law like you! From now on, I, Lu Guanxuan, will cut off all ties with your Fang family and will never have any contact with them again!"
Fang widened her eyes and wanted to say something, but when she met Lu Guanxuan's bone-chilling gaze, she shuddered and swallowed all the words back.
Hu Yong quickly shouted, "Your Highness Prince Jin, I just volunteered to provide a clue, which can be considered as meritorious service. I beg Your Highness to be lenient with my sentence!"
Xiao Yanci frowned, "It's too noisy, block it."
The two's shouts and pleas for mercy were soon replaced by a whimpering sound, which became farther and farther away until it disappeared completely.
