”This official pays his respect to Your Highness!”

Liu Changsheng bowed deeply towards Ye Lianhe with a smiling face. This made Ye Lianhe feel even more disgusted.

This king came here today because I heard that someone was causing trouble at a restaurant set up by this king's imperial concubine, and then the justice courts arrested the person who was causing the trouble. This king came here specifically to thank Lord Liu, but I saw Sir Liu beat up my servants like this.

Ye Lianhe's voice wasn't loud, but his ice-cold voice shocked everyone present.

”We …” We are not here to cause trouble! ”

A seven or eight-year-old boy standing to the side was dressed in heavy mourning attire. He clenched his fists and said, ”My father was poisoned because he ate in that restaurant yesterday!”

Ye Lianhe looked at those stubborn little eyes and saw that this person was unwilling to submit to him. His heart couldn't help but be moved, and he suddenly thought of Luo Lingwei, that fellow who was also not afraid of him.

”How dare you!”

Liu Changsheng, who was standing at the side, shouted, ”How can you, you commoner, answer my words!”

With that, Liu Changsheng signaled for the bailiffs to take the boy down, ready to execute him.

Ye Liancheng glared at him and said in his heart that this Liu Changsheng was truly despicable. Although he had clearly stated that in order to protect the authority of his prince, he was punishing this fellow who did not know when to advance, in the eyes of the onlookers, he was using his identity as the prince to bully the common people. If he succeeded, then the people that Luo Lingwei had built up for the Prince's Mansion these days would be completely lost.

”Stop!”

Ye Lianhe raised his hand. Two of his personal guards stepped forward and pushed away the bailiff who was holding the child down. Ye Lianhe strode to the front of Dong Liang and He Lu. The two of them tactfully stood up to give up their seats.

”The world knows that we, the Guangling King Manor, are benevolent and compassionate. Lord Liu, are you trying to make this king bear the crime of defrauding the world and get scolded?”

Ye Lianhe waved his sleeves and sat down. He then pretended to casually glance at Zhao Wei and confirmed that his life was not in danger. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

”This King wants to conduct a side trial on this case. I believe Lord Liu has no objections, right?”

Ye Liancheng turned around and looked at Liu Changsheng, and Liu Changsheng felt a wave of panic in his heart. He could only let out a dry laugh and said, ”I dare not, this official will decide the case fairly. If Your Highness wants to conduct an adjudication, then this official will do everything possible to solve the case cleanly!”

At this moment, in the back hall, Ye Feian was drinking tea. When he heard that Ye Lianhe had barged into the hall and disturbed Liu Changsheng's case, he knew that things were not going well. He hurriedly ordered some people to keep an eye on Ye Lianhe.

”Honorable servant, report all of your grievances!”

Ye Lianhe was not polite either. Although it was a side trial, he made the first move to let the group of victims talk about this matter.

”In reply to Your Highness, this commoner was originally a common household in the capital.”

A woman wearing white robes wiped away her tears as she sobbed, ”Yesterday, my husband and a few brothers made an appointment to go to esteemed wangfei's restaurant to eat the 'hotpot' she invented.”

Not long after he returned home, he fell to the ground and died!
