Chapter 278 - Agent County Order Li Deshun
Wei Qing sneered again and again, "Mn, you are indeed a Grand Master, but you are helping the evil!"
Zhou County Order was even more anxious, but his stomach was filled with a huge pain.
He let out a low breath and clutched his stomach.
Grand Master turned his head to look at him, and then began to cover his stomach, begging for mercy.
Wei Qing's eyes turned sharp, her expression became even more frightful, "If you continue to delay them, then the only ones who will suffer will be you!"
Seeing them rolling on the ground in pain, the citizens who had been bullied for so long felt vexed!
"Prince Chu is mighty, Prince Chu is wise!" A person shouted, and everyone agreed.
Wei Qing originally thought that Xiao Qingqian would be complacent, and glanced at him. Seeing the sadness in his eyes, and the contemplation in his eyes, she couldn't help but furrow her brows.
"Quiet!" Xiao Qingqian stood up, and said to the crowd: "This king has guilt!"
All the citizens were puzzled.
"As the Prince Chu, this king should have frequently visited you in private, and this kind of bug in the imperial court should have been discovered long ago. This king has promised everyone that when this king returns, I will advise royal father to clean up the imperial court!"
Xiao Qingqian's words resonated loudly and the crowd's emotions rose once again.
Before the disaster in the south, he had gained a good reputation. This time, he had earned the admiration of the people.
The observant beggar immediately made up his mind and praised Xiao Qingqian's wise and martial prowess.
Wei Qing had originally thought that Xiao Qingqian was simply putting on a show, but when she saw that his expression was still solemn and cold, she truly viewed Xiao Qingqian in a much higher light.
Focusing his gaze on the dirty beggar, Wei Qing raised her eyebrow.
Sometimes, death was a relief to people, but living was even more painful.
She whispered a few words to Xiao Qingqian, and the look in his eyes became complicated.
"We'll do as wangfei says."
Receiving his promise, Wei Qing naturally flung away his hands and feet, determined to uncover all these common people.
"Zhou County Order, Grand Master, you still have an hour. If you still refuse to repent, then you will die with your eyes bleeding."
With every word Wei Qing said, the color of the Zhou County Order and Grand Master's faces drained away.
With that, the two of them quickly left while clutching their stomachs.
Wei Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at the citizens, "Do you have any respected elders, or learned people?"
The commoners looked at each other. One of them said, "There is. This humble one will go and get him now."
The man that they had chosen had once come to the county magistrate court to petition three times for the sake of the people, but he had been seriously injured by the people of the Zhou County Order three times. He had been imprisoned in the prison and missed a good opportunity to treat him.
"This commoner, Li Deshun, greets Prince Chu, Princess Chu!" Li Deshun walked in with a limp and was about to kneel down, but he was stopped by Xiao Qingqian.
"Why are your pants legs so wet?" Wei Qing asked curiously.
Li Deshun hurriedly said: "Previously, this commoner proposed to build a stone bridge, but Zhou County Order stopped it. This wooden bridge was simply too steep. If one was not careful, it was very likely that they would fall into the river. "So the grass people will always be on guard by the river. If someone wants to go to the other side of the river, the grass people will launch a boat and send them there."
Wei Qing was startled, and she looked at Xiao Qingqian.
Such a person was someone who wholeheartedly sought the blessings of the common people!
Xiao Qingqian said in a low voice: "Li Deshun, listen."
Li Deshun was startled, and quickly kneeled down.
"Li Deshun wholeheartedly seeks for the common people's welfare. Until the imperial edict arrives, he will temporarily take over the position of county magistrate! I hope you won't disappoint royal father or disappoint the citizens! "
Li Deshun's face was filled with fear, "Prince Chu, this commoner is just a poor scholar, how can I be a county magistrate?"
Xiao Qingqian frowned, "Could it be that you want to watch as these dog officials continue to feed the fish and civilians?"
Li Deshun did not utter a word.
"As long as you have the heart to seek fortune for the common people, This King believes that you will definitely be able to be a good parent!"
When Zhou County Order came out, he coincidentally heard Xiao Qingqian's words.
His face was filled with regret. It was all his fault that he had been possessed for such a short time!
"Your Highness, this removal official should have been removed by the Emperor. You …"
In truth, his words were deliberately to tarnish Xiao Qingqian's image, as if he was trying to overpower him!
However, Xiao Qingqian was completely fearless!
He glared at Zhou County Order with his sharp eyes. "You are a stately parent officer, but you only think of how to plunder the ointment, how to bully the common people, are you even worthy to be one?
This king does not intend to overstep his boundaries. Li Deshun was chosen by the people. As the saying goes, a nation cannot live without a ruler for a day. The same principle applies here! This king will naturally explain himself properly to royal father, and you can't just casually splash dirt on my body while I'm here, with my mouth red and my teeth white! "
Zhou County Order shivered as he hugged the package in his arms tightly.
Wei Qing was truly angry!
If this person was so shameless, it would truly be shocking!
"Zhou County Order, you don't have much time left!"
After she reminded him, Zhou County Order felt his abdominal pain even more severe.
"Let me see just how many things you have plundered over the years!" Wei Qing went forward and was about to snatch the package away, but Zhou County Order was in so much pain that he refused to give it to him no matter what.
Wei Qing's eyes became serious, and she immediately waved her hand, causing Zhou County Order to grimace in pain.
The Grand Master did not return for a long time, so Xiao Qingqian sent a few citizens to take a look.
I heard that he was in so much pain that he couldn't walk and fainted halfway.
Xiao Qingqian heavily snorted, "Zhou County Order, this king does not have that much time to waste here!"
Zhou County Order was conflicted. He clenched his teeth and passed the package over.
Wei Qing scoffed a few times, this Zhou County Order was truly a thief indeed. And the deeds, and so much silver, and so much jewellery.
"Zhou County Order!" Wei Qing glared at him fiercely, "You really are a good official to this commoner!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people became excited again.
"Prince Chu, Princess Chu, this official has already taken out everything. Please be magnanimous and pass the antidote to this official!" Zhou County Order kneeled on the ground, begging while gasping for breath.
Wei Qing sneered, "People like you are like this, living is a scourge to the common people!"
Hearing that, Zhou County Order's eyes widened, "How can you guys go back on your words?"
Boom — —
A sudden clap of thunder exploded in Zhou County Order's mind, blowing him apart until he looked soft and weak, as if he was a sculpture with his soul sucked out.
The commoners were all discussing this amongst themselves.
If this wasn't poison, then when they grew too excited, they would definitely go crazy for revenge!
Could it be that Prince Chu and the Princess Chu had other brilliant ideas?
