Chapter 135: Your Highness, Please Make the Decision for Me

Walking on the street.

Ying Ziye looked around and felt that the city was more prosperous than when he led his army to attack Jicheng more than ten years ago.

The streets and alleys were filled with small stalls. Many people stopped and looked at Ying Ziye with gratitude, and spontaneously bowed to him to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for allowing us to live a stable life!"

Voices of gratitude rose one after another.

Here.

More than ten years.

No more war.

The promotion of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and super rice has resulted in an abundance of food, and almost no one has died of hunger in recent years.

It is because of Ying Ziye that ordinary people like them can enjoy a peaceful and harmonious life.
Ying Ziye sat upright in the carriage, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the people who were filled with genuine joy. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and a strong sense of accomplishment rippled in his heart.

He once dreamed of being a powerful figure in the world, and now these visions have almost been realized.

"Your Highness!"

"His Royal Highness!"

"Please help me!"

Just as Ying Ziye was immersed in the people's admiration, a crying and sad voice pierced his tranquility.

An old man in ragged clothes, with white hair, scars on his face and limping, appeared on the street and tried his best to run towards Ying Ziye's carriage.

He held a torn scroll tightly in his hand and waved it vigorously.

Jia Ren, the governor of Yuyang, heard the voice and his face suddenly changed. He shouted sternly, "Who dares to stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Come, kill him!"

A man dressed as a gangster and holding a sword came out. Following the order of the county magistrate, he leaped into the air and stabbed the lame old man in the vitals with ruthless force, intending to kill him in one blow!
When the people on both sides saw this, they were all frightened and hurriedly dodged.

At the critical moment.

All that was heard was that Ying Ziye lightly snapped his fingers, and the martial artists who were rushing towards the old man suddenly exploded and turned into ashes!

Gollum—

The scene was thrilling and everyone was dumbfounded. Many people swallowed their saliva dully, their eyes full of panic.

"who is it……"

"How dare you commit a crime in front of me!"

Ying Ziye leaned on the armrest, his right hand still snapping his fingers.

At that moment just now, the prefect of Yuyang County was so frightened that he fell to his knees, sweating profusely.

"Your Highness, please forgive me! I am worried that this person is an assassin and has offended Your Highness!"

Ying Ziye smiled calmly upon hearing this: "Oh, you are afraid that I will notice something strange about you when I enter the city. Now there is another old man crying out for justice, there must be something fishy going on."

The prefect of Yuyang County prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, indicating that he dared not hide anything.

Ying Ziye shook his head slightly. Who could be honest beforehand?
He turned his gaze to the terrified lame old man and waved gently.

In an instant, the old man was surrounded by golden light and flew straight in front of Ying Ziye.

Full of awe!

This scene made the people of Jicheng exclaim in amazement. They looked at Ying Ziye with eyes full of admiration.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly the reincarnation of a god!

The haze of fear faded away quietly.

"Speaking!"

"If you are wronged, I will seek justice for you!"

"No one is above the laws of the empire!"

Ying Ziye spoke to the old man gently but firmly.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"I originally came from a wealthy family. Thanks to your grace, my family business has prospered."

"One day, my sixteen-year-old daughter went to the market to buy rouge, but she never returned."

"After much investigation, we found out that it was the son of the prefect who abducted him!"

"I broke into the governor's mansion to get someone, but was beaten out by the guards. The scars and broken leg were their work." "After a few days, my daughter returned, but she looked like a walking corpse. That night, she jumped into a well and committed suicide."

"I spent all my money and asked for help everywhere, but no one paid attention!"

"The county governor is a powerful person in Yuyang, no one dares to challenge him!"

"Afterwards, I was inexplicably chased by an assassin and nearly lost my life. I managed to escape into the mountains and save my life."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming to Jicheng on his eastern tour, so I stopped him at all costs and begged him to redress my daughter's grievances and give me justice!"

The lame old man talked incessantly, his words filled with sorrow and despair.

Upon hearing this, Ying Ziye's face turned pale. He had never expected that under the strict laws of the Qin State, there would be someone so bold as to ignore the law!

In broad daylight, he forcibly took a woman from the people!
How audacious!
"Meng Tian!"

"Bring me the son of the Yuyang prefect immediately!"

"I want to see someone within the time of an incense stick!"

The cold words were like a chill wind, which frightened Jia Ren, the governor of Yuyang County, and made his whole body tremble like a sieve.

He prostrated himself on the ground, his head lowered. Cold sweat rolled down like raindrops, soaking the ground and forming a puddle.

"Yes!"

Meng Tian immediately took the order and led his men straight to the prefect's mansion.

Time passes by little by little.

Ying Ziye was waiting quietly on the street. The lame old man stood beside him expectantly. People around him were whispering and talking.

"I seem to have heard of this. At that time, the government said that it was her daughter who made a mistake."

"Do not make jokes!"

"What kind of person is the son of the county magistrate? He is just a dandy boy! They can say whatever they want."

"that is!"

"What big mistake can a little girl make when she goes to buy rouge?"

"It's nothing more than the county magistrate's son was attracted by the beauty and forcibly abducted the girl!"

"That's true. Later, the matter became a big deal. In order to silence the witness, I'm afraid they didn't even care about human life."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't rescued him in time, this lame old man would have died long ago!"

Although he spoke in a low voice, every word was clearly heard by Ying Ziye, making his face even gloomier.

From the people's complaints, he heard dissatisfaction and resentment, doubts about Qin law, and fear of the officials of the Qin Empire.

This is not a good sign! .
If someone maliciously incites, it may cause the people to lose their morale and must be severely dealt with!
After a while.

In less than a cup of tea, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. Meng Tian was riding a war horse, holding a young man in brocade robes in one hand. He had a pale face, sunken eyes, and hair as messy as grass.

He reported loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Jia Yi, the son of the prefect of Yuyang County, is here!" Meng Tian dismounted and reported to Ying Ziye.

Ying Ziye raised his hand slightly, and the son of the Yuyang County Magistrate immediately floated in front of Ying Ziye, landed next to the lame old man, pointed at the old man and asked: "Do you know this person?"

Jia Yi glanced back and was instantly frightened out of his wits. He shouted in horror: "You...why aren't you dead yet? Father, why didn't you kill him?"

oops! ——

At this moment, Yuyang County Magistrate Jia Ren wished he could strangle his son to death. What a fool!
Can you just say something like this?

Look who you are facing and where you are talking!
"Ouch!"

"He confessed it himself!"

"so……"

"Are the statements of the old people really true?"

Ying Ziye didn't expect that the son of the county magistrate was so stupid. He was indeed just a playboy, so there was no need to even interrogate him.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"

"My child was so frightened by the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he started to speak incoherently!"

"Besides, this old man once tried to harm my son, so he said such words."

The Yuyang County Magistrate was a county magistrate after all, with good psychological quality. He actually made up for his son's words, and it sounded quite reasonable.
