Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 49 Discussion
Liu Lei and other staff from Xicheng Granary have been put in jail.

In front of the government yamen, a group of people learned that Li Yuan was in the government yamen. Under the leadership of someone with a heart, they loudly asked the king of Chu to search the camp where Chu Qingyan took the bandits.

"I beg the prince to find the thieves. One hundred thousand shi of grain is the land tax paid by many of our civilians."

"I ask the lord to be the master for us!"

"My lord, please be the master for us!"

Hundreds of ragged civilians knelt in front of the government office, some weeping bitterly, hissing their lungs.

And more people around surrounded and pointed in the distance, with angry expressions.

"One hundred thousand shi of grain, so much grain has been stolen, I heard that the price of grain is going to increase now."

"This damn thief!"

"It must be a damn bandit!"

"Why does the princess take in these bandits?"

"Hey, I heard that it's because he belongs to the princess, and the police didn't dare to investigate too much, so there is no movement at all now."

"Hey, that's not right, these people have already paid their taxes, and it's none of their business to lose their food."

"To shut up!"

"Do you have any conscience? Even though the tax has already been paid, it is planted by others. Should the thieves steal it?"

"We should all be responsible for stealing granaries like this, and we must punish the thieves severely."

The continuous noise in front of the government office had already reached the ears of Li Yuan in the government office.

Li Yuan's face was calm, and he made up his mind and wanted to step out.

"Your Highness can't."

Seeing that Li Yuan was about to go out to meet the people in front of the government office, Mo Ziyan hurriedly stopped him:
"Your Highness, the crowd outside is chaotic and the people are agitated, I'm afraid some irrational person will hurt His Highness.

You can just go before the official. "

"Prefect Mo, don't worry, I have a sense of propriety."

Li Yuan's eyes were very calm. He knew that it was "behind the scenes" who deliberately wanted him to come forward, so that his reputation would be affected.

But whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is not certain!

With a cold snort, he strode out.

Outside the government yamen, everyone soon saw the magistrate striding out accompanied by a young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes exuding a noble aura.

tread!
Li Yuan stepped out of the gate of the government office and stood in front of the gate, quietly watching a group of people kneeling on the wide flat ground and the crowd of spectators around them.

Li Yuan just stared at them.

Immediately, the surrounding discussions stopped, and the person who yelled the loudest shut up wisely, and everyone gradually quieted down.

Seeing everyone quiet down, Li Yuan's majestic tone sounded:
"The robbery of the Xicheng granary, the king will definitely investigate and find out. Don't worry, the king will interrogate in the government office tomorrow, and you can watch it."

No matter who it is, as long as it is found out, it will never be let go! "

Court interrogation?

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Zhifu Mo's face behind him changed slightly, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu became impulsive. If the theft case really points to Princess Chu, or if the investigation fails, King Chu's reputation will really be ruined.

On the attic of the restaurant not far away, with the half-covered window sill, a handsome young man looked at Li Yuan with a cold gaze. Hearing Li Yuan's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Li Yuan's eyes turned to the kneeling common people, and his tone softened:
"You go back first, this king will never let down the hard work of every commoner."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness Chu."

The few people who took the lead looked at each other, but no one dared to speak anymore, and bowed their heads in thanks.

When Li Yuan left with Mo Ziyan and other officials, the surrounding audience broke out in discussions again.

The news that Li Yuan will interrogate the case of granary theft in court tomorrow also spread quickly.

In a pavilion, seven or eight young people who looked like literati gathered here, and they were also discussing the case of the granary theft.

"You said, did Princess Chu's subordinates really do it?"

A literati whose clothes were washed white said bitterly.

"Why, Brother Zhang, you still want to accept Princess Chu's solicitation?"

The person next to him asked in surprise.

These few people are some well-known talents in the capital, and Zhou Qiuya and Chen Xiao had intended to recruit them.

The person who had the same idea as him before said with a wry smile:

"Everyone knows that it is impossible for Princess Chu to do such a stupid thing, but in this situation, who would dare to rely on Princess Chu."

"Unless Princess Chu can solve this matter, but behind the scenes of this matter..." One person showed a look of extreme fear and dared not speak.

"Yes!" Several people sighed, they were quite moved by Chu Qingyan's solicitation.

It is the tragedy of most poor families in this era to have talents but nowhere to go.

"Crack!" A dark-skinned man with unusually bright eyes suddenly stood up in the far corner and threw a cup on the stone table, attracting everyone's attention. A firm tone sounded:

"I've decided, I'm going to seek refuge with Princess Chu now!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
"Xu Quan, have you found a solution to the granary theft case?"

One of them asked, and the few people who originally wanted to take refuge in Chu Qingyan also looked at Xu Quan, showing a glimmer of hope.

Because Xu Quan is the most famous and talented person among them, since he dared to seek refuge with Princess Chu, does he have a solution?

Xu Quan shook his head and said, "No!"

"No, now you still dare to seek refuge with Princess Chu?"

Xu Quan showed a hint of madness: "Yes, right now, icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow!"

"I believe Princess Chu can solve this matter. If you want to fight, you should fight big. If Princess Chu solves this matter, your reputation will increase. At that time, it will not be so important for us to seek refuge."

"Will you come with me?"

Xu Quan looked at the few people who originally wanted to take refuge in Chu Qingyan, but they all lowered their heads.

They knew that now that they were relying on Chu Qingyan, Chu Qingyan would definitely not treat them badly.

But the risk is too high, if Chu Qingyan loses, they will follow suit.

Xu Quan picked up a jug of wine, opened his mouth, poured it straight into his mouth, drank it all in one gulp, picked up his sleeve to wipe the wine stains around his mouth, and strode away from Jingting.

"In this case, please stay here, so that you can take care of yourself."

"Brother Xu...?" Looking at Xu Quan's leaving back, the people next to him wanted to persuade him to stay, but Xu Quan waved his hand coolly and left.

The people left looked at each other and could only smile wryly.

They don't have Xu Quan's courage.

"Huh? Isn't that the third son of the Wang family, Wang Peng?"

Soon their attention was on a distraught young man not far away.

Not far away, a handsome young man in brocade clothes, with dim eyes, could smell the smell of alcohol on his body from three to five meters away, stumbled forward.

"What happened to Mr. Wang?" A man was full of surprise. In his image, Wang Peng had always looked like Mr. Pianpian, and he was a childhood sweetheart with Miss Lu Qingyan, known as the golden boy and jade girl.

"Ahem, haven't you heard that Wang Peng didn't know what was going on a while ago, and he went to Lu's house to make a big fuss a while ago, and then he became like this." A man whispered.

"It is said that it is related to Lu Qingyan."
