Chapter 41 The Emperor of the World (14)

The people in the crowd who were blocked by Sima Yan's words were about to retort, but Sima Yan took the lead and said, "I know that the issue everyone is most concerned about is not who made this announcement, but wanting to cancel this ridiculous announcement."

"I know that some of you have spent most of your life fighting and fighting in Jiangling City. Although you don't have a household registration in Jiangling City, you are undoubtedly from Jiangling. It is to send you to death, and the insiders will arrest you, but this one-size-fits-all approach will never work!"

"Yes, young master, we have been in Jiangling for most of our lives, and our family is also in Jiangling. How can we live if we are driven away this time!"

"I have been in Jiangling City all my life, how could I be the internal response of bandits?!"

"That's right, it's a pity that my son was murdered by the thieves!!! I wish I could kill them! How could I be the internal response of the thieves?!"

The common people talked about their hardships in one go, like a hot pot that exploded, and the scene was difficult to control for a while.

"I understand everyone's difficulties. Today, on behalf of the Sima family and General Wang, I will petition for you and ask the prefect to cancel this announcement."

"Young master, is what you said true?"

"Master never lies!"

The common people wavered, some people were willing to believe in Sima Yan, while others believed that these people were all in collusion to deceive them, the common people.

"Although Young Master Sima is playful and mischievous, he has never deceived anyone. I think we can trust it."

"If you want me to say, let's go and see first."

"I think it's okay, let's have a look first."

"Yes, let's see it first."

Everyone was chattering, and finally, under the guidance of public opinion, they all decided to take a look before talking.

After Sima Yan finished speaking, he got on his horse, and the soldiers under General Wang's command also brought General Wang's horse.

"Let's go to the Yamen to look for Wang Taishou now."

Sima Yan and General Wang rode in front on fine horses, followed by mighty government soldiers and generals from the barracks, followed by a group of ordinary people.

This battle was scary enough to watch.

"What did you say?" Wang Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Big...big...my lord." The servant took a step back, looking terrified, "The young master of the Sima family joined forces with General Wang and a group of common people to come here..."

"They said...they said they wanted to ask your lord to revoke the notice..."

Wang Zhi sneered three times, and pushed down the decorations on the table, including jade wares and teacups, all of which were shattered all over the floor, "Where is this request from them?! They are obviously forcing me!"

The housekeeper stepped forward and said hastily, "My lord, the Sima family can't afford to offend."

Wang Zhi said angrily, "Of course I know that!"

"Damn it! When did this kid from the Sima family meddle in his own business? I'm an imposing prefect! I'm still going to be angry with this brat!!!" Wang Zhi slapped the table violently again, his eyes full of resentment , "Big deal, I will fight to the death with him!"

"My lord, the Sima family came with General Wang..." the butler reminded at the right time, and Wang Zhi's angry fireworks were instantly extinguished.

General Wang...

General Wang was in charge of the troops of Jiangling City. For the first time, he felt that he had made the wrong move...

Maybe he shouldn't have led the rumors to General Wang. He thought that with General Wang's character, he would either make noise with the people or ignore it. He never thought that there would be such a trick...

"My lord, I am afraid that this announcement will be withdrawn now."

Wang Zhi gradually calmed down, "I know."

He glanced sideways at the housekeeper lightly, "You were the one who came up with this clever plan at the beginning!"

The housekeeper knelt down and said, "My lord, it's all villains who are stupid! I've hurt my lord!"

"Go and receive a fine of [-] boards."

"Yes."

"Butler Mo, what's the matter? Why do you need to receive a fine of [-] boards?" The servants who executed the execution couldn't believe it when they heard Steward Mo said that they would receive a fine of [-] boards!
From their point of view, Butler Mo has been by your lord's side for many years and is quite capable. He helped him deal with a lot of troublesome things on weekdays. They couldn't figure out what butler Mo had done to make him angry, so they wanted to beat him twenty times.

Housekeeper Mo lifted his robe and lay down on the torture bench, and said flatly, "It's just something that messed up the master."

The servant who executed the execution was heartbroken, the servant's life is really cheap, even if he is a capable butler by his master's side, he still beats as soon as he says it!
These twenty boards!It can take half of a person's life!
Mr. Wang has been sending people to constantly check Sima Yan's movements. As they got closer to the Yamen, he became more and more restless, walking around in the lobby with his hands behind his back.

Should he go out?But he was afraid that if he stayed in there all the time, the younger Sima's family would not give him face, and he would lose all face in front of the people in the city.

That kid is not the character who will give him face.

After much deliberation, he decided to go out to greet him, thinking about what he, the prefect, was really aggrieved!It's better to wait until he has made enough money in Jiangling City before resigning and going back to seclusion.

It's hard to be an official in this world!
He has already heard that many officials who went north were beheaded by rebel bandits...

Sima Yan rode a white horse and saw the Yamen's signboard from a distance. He tilted his head and smiled brightly, "General Wang, we're coming."

Wang Liang looked at the yamen in front of him with a flash of hatred in his eyes, turned his head and said, "Master Yan, I have to thank you for this matter."

"You're welcome, I can't bear to see the hero guarding Jiangling being shouted and beaten by everyone. If Jiangling didn't have you, Jiangling wouldn't be so safe."

Wang Liang laughed at himself, "What kind of hero is just seeking his own government in his position. If the person sitting in my position is not me, Wang Liang, it will be Li Liang, Zhang Liang."

Seeing Wang Liang's negative mood, Sima Yan tried to persuade him, "General Wang, don't belittle yourself. There are many brave cavalry captains in this world, but how many cities are as safe as our Jiangling? This is all thanks to General Wang."

After a few chats, the yamen has arrived in front of us, and Wang Zhi is coming out from inside, with a look of confusion.

"Young Master Sima, General Wang, and..." Wang Zhi glanced at the many people following them in confusion, "Many people, why are you here?"

"You really don't know? Why are we looking for you?"

The crowd below couldn't bear it anymore, and they complained about their pain, and the prefect took back his order.

Wang Zhi turned from confusion to anger, and then to grief and anger. He looked heartbroken, and even shed tears, "What happened?! It's all my fault for rushing the order without investigating clearly in advance!"

He wiped away his tears, and said, "This officer also didn't think carefully, and only wanted to get rid of the internal response. I didn't expect to cause such a big trouble for everyone."

"This official will revoke the announcement."

Sima Yan was dumbfounded by Wang Zhi's performance, and he originally wanted to take advantage of this to make the people very dissatisfied with Wang Zhi.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi's performance won a lot of hearts.
