After Qi Baotian finished speaking, his legs became weak and he knelt straight in front of Qi Wang.

He never knew that Qi Wang was not his son. In the past twenty years, he had always treated this child like a biological son. He had only known the truth for only half a month, and he could not accept Qi Wang's identity change for a while.

Now Qi Baotian felt that he was kneeling for his own son. He felt like he was being cut by a knife. The strong sense of pain was surging in his heart. The devastating sense of shame almost made him run away, but he knew that he could not escape.

If his wife was really beheaded, her third son would definitely break the Qingyun Road, and then their family would be finished.

"Erzhu, my father swore with his ancestors that he never knew you were the child exchanged by your mother. You should also know what my father has treated you over the years. Now that you have recognized your ancestors, my father is happy for you. Can you let your mother go because of the sake of my father sincerely treating you for so many years? Your mother was just confused, she had no bad heart..."

As Qi Baotian said, tears came down. A big man knelt in front of his adopted son with a hunched back and cried like this, which made the listener cry.

People often say, "Men will not cry easily, but they have not reached the sad place." People also say, "Men have gold under their knees, kneel down to heaven and earth, kneel down to their parents." Qi Baotian, a big man, now in order to save his wife, kneels down in front of his adopted son, putting down all his self-esteem and pride and begging him. This kind of intention is simply touching.

It is human instinct to sympathize with the weak, and the identity of the old father has become his plus point. Everyone thought that Qi Wang was too cold-blooded and should not be so indifferent to his foster mother who raised him. Now that Qi Baotian knelt down and pleaded with him, everyone felt that Qi Wang should not watch his foster mother die.

Even if Wang Zhaodi did something wrong at the beginning, she had raised Qi Wang for so many years, and the twenty years of raising her will be enough to offset her sins.

Moreover, Qi Wang is now standing here with good legs and feet, looking like a noble young man. You can tell at a glance that he is doing well. On the contrary, the people in the Qi family are all haggard and covered in mess. It is obvious which one is stronger and who is weak.

He just lost twenty years of wealthy life. When he went back, he still had a lot of good days, but what Wang Zhaodi lost was a life. How much hatred and how much grudges he had to kill?

The Qi family pleaded for mercy outside the lobby of the county government. With the help of the people around him, the place was already in chaos. The county magistrate had just finished the trial and had not allowed someone to take the prisoner down. As a result, he heard the noise outside. His brows frowned and looked out the lobby with a sharp gaze.

However, Qi Wang was surrounded by people. From the perspective of the county magistrate, he couldn't see clearly what happened. After thinking for a moment, he got up and walked over.

Qi Baotian, who was here, found that everyone seemed to be standing on his side and helping him plead for mercy, and he cried even harder.

Qi Erzhu was a child he raised. In the past, there was a strong friendship between father and son. Qi Erzhu was still very filial to him, a father. He didn't believe that Qi Erzhu would forget his father when he turned over. His heart was still soft. As long as they beg for mercy, he could let their family go.

So Qi Baotian didn't say anything else, but just shed tears silently, making himself look even more miserable and pitiful.

Qi Dazhu and Qi Qingfeng, who were standing next to Qi Baotian, saw that their father had kneeled down to Qi Wang, but he still looked indifferent. Qi Qingfeng was fine. Qi Dazhu was so angry that his eyes turned red. His eyes looked at Qi Wang as if he was looking at his enemy.

"Qi Erzhu, how could you be so cruel? Even if you become the prince of the Prime Minister now, you will not bully you like this. You made your mother beheaded and your father kneel down. Isn't this enough? What else do you want? Do you have to kill our family by you so that you can calm your breath?"

Originally, Qi Dazhu was full of jealousy towards Qi Erzhu, thinking that his parents loved his son the most. Because of Qi Erzhu, he treated him poorly. Now that he knew that Qi Erzhu was the prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qi Dazhu felt even more jealousy. Now that he found an opportunity, why don't he scold him?

Qi Qingfeng is better than Qi Dazhu. He knows what his family is doing. If he had encountered these things, he would not let this family go, let alone the culprit be killed.

But now for his own future, he can only abandon his insignificant conscience. He has to plan for himself and not let Qi Erzhu ruin everything he finally got.

"Second brother, my mother has been in prison for half a month and was beaten to the board again before. She will not live long. Even if she doesn't behead her head, she won't live long. So are you still unwilling to give up? I beg you, as long as you are willing to let your mother go, I will definitely repay you as a cow or a horse in the future."

After they finished speaking, people around them spoke. Although what they said was not the same, the meaning of the expression was the same, that was, he would let Wang Zhaodi go and not be skeptical about her.

The accusations from the people around him surged like a tide, and Qi Wang was surrounded by them alone, looking weak and pitiful and helpless, as if he was helpless in the storm.

"Did you get something wrong?"

Qi Wang spoke slowly, his voice was neither too fast nor too slow, and he was not furious after being forced, as if he was just narrating an extremely ordinary thing.

"The person who made the judgment is the county magistrate. What are you asking me to do here? Do you think I can control the county magistrate's judgment? Or do you think I can change the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty by saying a word?"

His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have strange magic, suppressing all the voices of the people around him.

The people who were originally incited by the Qi family were so excited that they used public opinion to force Qi Wang to forgive Wang Zhaodi slowly calmed down. They looked at each other and figured out something wrong.

Qi Wang's eyes fell on Qi Baotian kneeling on the ground. The handsome and innocent face showed a complicated expression, fragile, painful, confused, helpless... A lot of emotions appeared on his face, and finally frozen in sadness.

"Dad, all this can only be said to be a good fortune. If I were asked to choose, I would rather be Qi Erzhu, than the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but what can I do? My uncle went to the yamen to complain, my mother was arrested, and the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion came from the capital to recognize me. I was not a choice for all kinds of things. When my mother was replaced by me, I was just a baby who knew nothing. I had been a farm boy who had been a farm boy for twenty years. Now someone told me that I am not a farm boy. I am a young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you think I can easily accept my new identity? Do you think that if I am a farm boy like a farm boy, I can easily integrate into it if I go there?"

Qi Wang said in the end, his emotions collapsed. He looked up and looked around, facing those who had just accused him of not watching Wang Zhaodi die.

"You all think I shouldn't have watched Wang Zhaodi die, but what can I do? The person who judged the case is the county magistrate, and the person who formulated the law is today. Who can I control?"

"I'm just a person who was unlucky to have a replacement. I don't know a single word. I haven't been to any of them except Lishui County. What can you ask me to do?"

"Are you still think that I, a person who has just been recognized and has not established a deep friendship with my family, is begging my family to beg for personal gain?"

Isn’t it just by talking, can’t you look at anyone?

Qi Wang didn't plan to argue with them. There were not many people who knew the words in this era, so do they expect them to be so sensible? Isn't it just that who is weak and who is pitiful? How can the victims created by those people in the Qi family be more realistic than him, the victim?

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Qi Wang continued.

"Although I don't know a big word, I also know that 'the state-owned country and the law have family rules' and 'the emperor violates the law and the common people', and I am really powerless."

"After all, I was just a unfortunate person who was transferred to the countryside and was the son of the prime minister who had been a farmer's son for twenty years. What can I do?"

Since we use the common people as a knife, we must be prepared to stab the knife back.

Qi Qingfeng never knew that Qi Wang was so good at speaking. The key problem was that he had raised this issue to the national law. The law was above everything else and no one could change it except the emperor.

No, it is absolutely impossible to continue like this. Qi Qingfeng was about to say something, but Qi Wang suddenly bowed to him. No, Qi Wang was not bowing to him, but to the person behind him.

Qi Qingfeng never felt as desperate as he was now. He heard Qi Wang shout "County Magistrate", and then, out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the official robe that belonged to the county magistrate.

"Mr. The county magistrate is stupid, please let me make it clear."

Qi Wang respectfully bowed to the county magistrate and asked.

The county magistrate nodded slightly at him and said in a kind tone: "You can say bluntly that with my official here, no one will make things difficult for you."

As soon as the county magistrate said this, everyone around him shivered. They suddenly remembered something. They seemed to be making things difficult for Qi Wang just now?

The people had a natural fear of officials. Thinking of what they had done just now, everyone took a few steps back, and a large area of ​​space was instantly empty outside the lobby.

Qi Baotian was still kneeling on the ground. He was not right to get up now, nor was he not right to get up. Qi Dazhu, who was just arrogant and wanted to beat him up, was also depressed and did not dare to show any aggressiveness.

Qi Qingfeng's face was pale at this time, and he wanted to say something, but his brain was in a mess, making him unable to say anything.
