After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Chapter 289 King Yan punishes the Jingzhou County Government!

On a late summer afternoon, the sun shone through sparse clouds, dappling onto the bluestone streets. After two and a half days of galloping, the King of Yan and his companions finally arrived in Jingzhou.

After escorting Chu Nanyue to a quiet inn, he went to the yamen.

Since he was visiting incognito, the county government was not aware of his situation. When he arrived, the entire county government gave off an atmosphere of decay.

Seeing this, King Yan's eyebrows slightly gathered, and Jiang Yan quickly ordered: "Let the county magistrate come out quickly!"

The yamen runners outside the gate were lazy and didn't take them seriously at all: "Why don't you take a piss and see who you are before you dare to ask our county magistrate to come out? Go away, get out of the way, if you have a case, submit the complaint to the lawyer!"

Xiao Han laughed wildly. He held down Jiang Yan who was about to draw his sword and said calmly, "How can ordinary people afford a lawyer?"

The bailiff waved his hands impatiently: "That's your business, go away, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Xiao Hanye clenched his fists before speaking slowly: "Is this how cases are usually handled here?"

Although I knew that local officials were often slack in places far away from the emperor, I didn't expect that they would be so derelict in their duties.

No wonder there are bandit problems!

When the yamen runner heard this, he immediately got angry and glared at him, "What? You kid still want to meddle in our county government's affairs? You are so bold! Our county magistrate loves the people like his own children and handles things fairly. How can you interfere?"

Xiao Hanye sneered in his heart. This yamen runner was really good at lying. Loving the people like his own children? Being fair in his work? The rotten atmosphere in this county yamen was so bad that not even a fly could fly out.

He didn't waste any more time talking to the bailiffs and took a step forward with an imposing manner.

He had already walked through mountains of corpses and seas of fire, and now he no longer tried to suppress the murderous aura, and immediately the scorching surroundings turned into an ice cellar.

The yamen runner who had been bossing people around just now was suddenly frightened and lost his momentum. He didn't understand how a mere person could scare a government official like this?

But when he thought about the fact that he was a government official and had the support of the county magistrate, he plucked up his courage again: "You...what do you want to do? This is the government office, you can't run wild here!"

Having said that, he was still afraid, so he quickly blew the whistle in his hand and called other yamen runners.

Soon, a group of bailiffs rushed into the county government office and surrounded Xiao Hanye and Jiang Yan.

Xiao Hanye looked around at the yamen runners and just curled his lips slightly. He casually played with the jade ring on his left thumb.

The first yamen runner became even more angry when he saw this, especially when he saw that they had the upper hand at the moment, so he walked towards him again with an arrogant attitude, intending to beat him up first. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, his arm was broken by someone.

"Ah! The villains are killing government officials!" He was terrified and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The other yamen runners had no time to be afraid when seeing this, and they swarmed forward. As a result, in less than half an incense stick of time, more than a dozen of them were subdued by Jiang Yan alone!

Seeing the yamen runners wailing on the ground, Xiao Hanye frowned fiercely.

That’s all you can do?

No wonder we can’t even subdue the bandits!

He let out a long breath. At this moment, the county magistrate finally arrived. He had been doing some inappropriate things with his new concubine in the backyard. When he heard the housekeeper hurriedly report that a fight had broken out outside, he had to end his happiness early.

If anyone dared to come to his county government office to cause trouble, he would definitely beat him severely with a stick.

Seeing that there were only two unruly people, he flashed a trace of disdain in his eyes, then carefully looked Xiao Hanye up and down, and then said in a deep voice: "Who are these unruly people? How dare you break into the county government office and injure government officials? Do you know your crime?"

After Jiang Yan got the King of Yan's approval, he showed his token and said sternly, "This is the King of Yan. Why don't you pay your respects to him?"

The county magistrate was stunned when he heard this: "Prince Yan? The fourth prince of the dynasty?"

He was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, but the next moment, he suddenly realized why the dignified King of Yan would come to such a remote place like his? And he only brought one guard with him?

It was obviously fake at first glance, so he stood up and said, "Do you think you can scare me by just saying a random name? Prince Yan? Humph, if it's really Prince Yan..."

Just then, a firm voice came from outside the door.

"I pay my respects to Lord Yan!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person coming was a handsome young man dressed in rough clothes. When he saw the mess in the yard, a light flashed in his originally deep eyes, and then he respectfully saluted King Yan.

The county magistrate was a little dumbfounded: "Brother-in-law? What are you doing?"

The handsome young man immediately said in a cold voice: "Don't try to get married. My sister was taken away by you by force. How can she be a relative?"

Then, he bowed his head and said to the King of Yan: "Please punish me, Your Majesty. The letter I sent to the court was sent after discussing with my sister. Please help us in Jingzhou to suppress the bandits and rescue the woman who was abducted by the bandits. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Xiao Hanye suddenly realized.

No wonder the county government dared to question his identity, as if they were unaware that the court had sent someone. It turned out that there was such a relationship.

The county magistrate's face suddenly changed. He rushed forward to scratch the beautiful boy and said, "You traitor, you dared to take advantage of my favor for your sister, steal my official seal, and secretly send a petition to the court. You are so bold! You are trying to kill me. I will never let you go, I will kill you!"

The Prince of Yan gave him a sharp look, and he immediately stopped fighting. He could only kneel on the ground and cry: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I really didn't know it was you who came to visit. You can't just listen to the words of this unruly citizen..."

King Yan thought he was too noisy, so he asked Jiang Yan to press his mute point. Then he spoke to the beautiful boy in a deep voice.

"Why did you steal the official seal and send a document to the court instead of asking your brother-in-law for help?"

Seeing that the King of Yan did not blame him, the beautiful boy had a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He kowtowed loudly and then said in a resounding voice: "Your Majesty, my name is Qin Yu and my sister's name is Qin Ran. Three months ago, this official used the power of his position to coerce, bribe and intimidate my sister into marrying him as a concubine, so he is not my brother-in-law. As for suppressing the bandits and saving people, I have asked him for help many times, but he refused every time because he was afraid of death and wanted to protect himself! If my fiancée had not been abducted by the bandits and taken to the mountains, I would never dare to join forces with my sister to do this. My sister was forced by me. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

As he spoke, a graceful beauty slowly walked over. She knelt down in front of the King of Yan and said, "Your Highness, I am Qin Ran. What my brother said is true. However, I am not under his control. I just can't stand it..."

She looked around awkwardly, then whispered, "An inhuman hobby!"

After saying this, she lifted her arms, revealing the burn scars...

King Yan's eyes flickered. He looked towards the county government office with disgust and said to Jiang Yan in a cold voice, "Untie him!"

The county magistrate was finally able to speak, and he quickly stepped forward and kicked Qin Ran: "You bitch, you are talking nonsense. You want to kill me. I have treated you well..."

Qin Yu was so angry that he started fighting with him: "You are a dog official, you are a parent official of the people, you are a parasite who eats the salary for free..."

At this time, what else did Xiao Hanye not understand?

Originally he wanted them to confront each other face to face, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

Looking at the county government office that was subdued by Jiang Yan, he said in a deep voice: "The court appointed you as an official in the hope that you could benefit the people. Who would have thought that you would only care about your own enjoyment and not care about the welfare of the people at all. You are really a shame to the court and a harm to the people!"

After he finished speaking, he killed him with a sword.

The county magistrate died with his eyes open. He could not believe it no matter how hard he tried. How could the Prince of Yan dare to kill an official appointed by the imperial court?

The wailing yamen runners in the yard all stopped their voices instantly. They dared not make a sound, fearing that they would become the next soul to be killed by the sharp blade of King Yan if they were not careful...

In the past, they had only heard of the reputation of the Ghost-faced Rakshasa, Prince of Yan. But when they saw him today, he was even more terrifying than the rumors. Who would dare to kill an official of the imperial court with a sword?

Not until the voice of King Yan was heard again did they dare to breathe again.

"You are all government officials. No matter how big or small your position is, you should do your job. If anyone neglects his duty again in the future, I will kill him if I see him!"

"We will obey the order of Prince Yan and do our job in the future, serving the court wholeheartedly and benefiting the people!"

They didn't expect that King Yan would forgive them so easily. In the future, they will definitely turn over a new leaf and live up to their official uniforms.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Qin Yu was very shocked, and a few sparks ignited in his eyes...
