C180 (2/2)
With every word Xiao Qingqian said, the county magistrate's face became whiter and whiter, and when he finished speaking, the county magistrate knelt on the ground with a 'putt', ”This official does not know that the Prince Chu is here, this official …”
”Clap clap ~ ~”
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Qingqian had already flung him twice.
The county magistrate's chubby white face immediately turned red and swollen. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He trembled in fear and did not dare to make a sound, ”Prince Chu, please forgive me. When the rain was still pouring down, this official had already given the order.
Xiao Qingqian's face sunk so deep that ink seemed to drip out, ”Are you still lying with your eyes open?”
These people's ability to blame each other really shocked him!
Wei Qing looked at Xiao Qingqian, ”Your Highness, I'm afraid that there is such a possibility!”
Hearing this, Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing with a puzzled expression.
Wei Qing blinked his eyes, signalling for him to be patient.
Xiao Qingqian was unable to guess what Wei Qing was doing, but his entire person seemed to be extremely irritable.
”The county magistrate might have made arrangements early in the morning, but if the people below do not follow them, it will infuriate them!”
When Wei Qing said this, the County Magistrate's heart relaxed a bit, ”Right, right, right, this … …”
Because he didn't know how to address them, he was even more worried. He was afraid that if he spoke incorrectly, it would attract even more unnecessary trouble.
”I am just a servant of the prince. Lord County Magistrate, do not be nervous!”
”Prince Chu, this official has indeed given his orders!” Seeing that Wei Qing had the intention to speak up for her, the county magistrate quickly stressed the point.
Xiao Qingqian was really angry!
Everything that had happened before his eyes was clear enough, these corrupt officials were unable to even suppress the anger in his heart after killing them a hundred times, and Wei Qing actually still wanted to help him seek justice!
When he saw Wei Qing's pair of clear eyes that made the county magistrate feel that they were unfathomable, the magistrate could only nod his head in agreement.
The county magistrate looked at Xiao Qingqian, but seeing that he did not refute him, he quickly ordered some men to prepare a carriage.
Wei Qing frowned, ”Shouldn't the county magistrate hold up an umbrella and go to the porridge store?”
The county magistrate took a glance at Xiao Qingqian, whose brows were scrunched up tightly, and nodded unwillingly.
A group of people came to the porridge store with umbrellas. When the commoners saw the magistrate personally arrive, they all became terrified.
Wei Qing quickly explained: ”Everyone, do not be nervous, the reason why the county magistrate has personally come is because he wants to hear what opinions everyone has. So, everyone can speak freely.
Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. They knew better than anyone what kind of greedy character the magistrate had.
Seeing that no one said a word, Wei Qing's gaze landed on the County Magistrate, ”Didn't the Magistrate just promised to find out what happened?”
The county magistrate still had wounds on his forehead, and five finger marks could be clearly seen on his cheeks. He glanced at Xiao Qingqian whose face was ashen, and quickly said: ”Everyone can speak freely, I will definitely not anger anyone!”
The commoners had long been on the verge of vomiting such thin porridge. Upon hearing his words, they immediately pointed out a few problems.
The county magistrate's expression turned increasingly ugly.
He had personally ordered all of this in order to unload the imperial government's disaster relief food and sell it to the rich families. Afterwards, he would use the mildewed rice for disaster relief.
