Just when everyone didn't know what to do and how to proceed, bursts of noise came from outside, and the noise became louder and louder.
Ye Bilong shouted angrily: "Come here! Go and see what's going on!"
Immediately a sergeant came in to report.
People from all over the country came from all directions, and there were only a few dozen feet away from the general's mansion. More than a dozen leaders requested to see the imperial envoys of the imperial court.
Ye Bilong's face was ashen and he reported to Prince An: "Your Majesty, this... there are always unruly people in the Northeast, I'm afraid there's nothing good going on... Why don't you order me to go down and drive them all here?"
Prince An said: "The Queen Mother is kind, the Emperor is wise, and the people of the world are the most important thing. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If you can ignore it and come to visit, it means that there must be grievances and let them in."
In the past, ordinary people with ordinary heads had to receive dozens of sticks before meeting officials, especially high-ranking officials. This was called a killing stick.
"This... Your Majesty, this late at night may affect your rest..."
"Do you think this prince is taking a rest now? Pass it on immediately!"
Ye Bilong's expression became even more grim, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
The impression given to everyone is that "something bad must happen." Because the current Shengjing General Samuha is the second godson of Ye Bilong.
Ye Bilong's power is the strongest in Shengjing, and if any situation arises, he will not be able to escape his involvement.
The eldest princess glanced at the emperor's uncle, Prince An, and saw the emperor's uncle nodded gently.
The eldest princess said: "Master Zhongtang, why are you still hesitating? Maybe the common people will send the imperial envoy Umbrellas to you?"
At this point, Ye Bilong seemed to have no choice but to order the sergeant to pass on someone else.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) never spoke, and kept smiling while watching Ye Bilong perform.
He thought to himself: "It would be a pity for this old guy not to be the best actor... He obviously wants to pass on these people, but he shows that he doesn't want to pass them on, and uses the mouths of Prince An and the eldest princess to achieve his own goals."
Prince An is also an "adult spirit", how could he not know the little thoughts of Ye Bilong?
In officialdom, everyone is performing, it just depends on who is more genuine.
After a while, more than ten people wearing large leather jackets were escorted to the hall.
Just by looking at his clothes and the way he walks, he can tell that he is a well-known local figure.
There were twelve people in total. They walked a foot and a half away from Prince An's case with their faces bent low to the ground, and they all knelt down in unison.
The leader kowtowed three times, looked up and saw Prince An's dragon robe, and seemed to be confused for a moment.
Could it be that this person in front of me is the current emperor?
Ye Bilong quickly stepped forward and said: "This is Prince An. If you have any grievances, you can just go to the prince... Just say what you should say, and don't say anything you shouldn't say..."
The leader kowtowed again, and then said loudly: "The king of the grass people pays homage to the prince."
"Oh? You are Wang Wanwan, who is known as the No. 1 Ginseng King in Northeast China? Why are you here if you don't sell your ginseng well?"
Prince An leaned forward. He had long heard that there was a "Ginseng King" in the Northeast who was extremely wealthy and had cut off more than 60% of the ginseng business in the Northeast.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a jade-faced scholar.
"The common people have grievances..." As soon as he finished saying this, Wang Babai's tears fell.
"Oh? If you have a grievance, it will come soon. I will make the decision for you."
"Your Majesty... Cao Min is in the ginseng business. Relying on the emperor's favor, he does some small business and earns some hard money to support his family... Unexpectedly, last month, the Northeast Army broke into Cao Min's shop and robbed and smashed it.
They extorted 500,000 taels of silver from the grassroots, and burned down three of the grassroots' shops... Those Northeastern troops did all kinds of evil, they were just living bandits, no, worse than bandits."
"Is there such a thing? Who is so bold to do such an evil thing in broad daylight! Who is it? Tell me!"
As soon as Prince An took pictures of the case, everyone became excited.
"Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for the people..."
Wang Wanwan cried miserably, as loudly as he wanted!
Prince An turned to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) and said: "Master Xiao Jia, what is going on? There is such a scoundrel in the Northeast Army. Find it for me!"
Wang Baiwan continued to kowtow and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to look for him, the person involved is in the hall."
"Oh? Find it for me quickly!"
Wang Baiwan glanced at Xue Pan, his whole body was trembling and he did not dare to speak.
Xue Pan raised his head with a nonchalant look on his face. He took two steps forward, saluted the prince, and then said, "I made it, so there's no need to look for it."
"You..." Prince An was furious, "How can you do such a thing that makes people and gods angry?! Xue Pan, Xue Pan, the world is at peace. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are the most considerate of the common people. You can be considered one of them after all.
As a general, how can you send troops to do such things... This will lead to beheading!"
Prince An quickly said that Xue Pan was a "soldier", so he would at most be accused of "lax discipline", which was also an excuse for Xue Pan.
But it seemed that Xue Pan didn't appreciate it, and said with a pinched neck: "A good man does his work, and one person is responsible for the work. I personally led the people to rob the shop, and I also lit the fire on the spot to burn the shop, so there is no need to trouble my brother!"
When he said this, Xue Pan almost raised his head to the ceiling, as if he had done a great deed.
Prince An was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.
Are you really a big fool?
Can this kind of thing be admitted?
The Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor would really be beheaded!
Xue Pan didn't seem to care at all, and said to the other eleven "grassroots" who had been kneeling in the hall to meet the imperial envoy: "You, Wang Sandou, do the fur business; you, Dou Er, open the porridge shop; you, Zhou Ziwen,
Those who run a grain farm...I robbed your goods, smashed up your shop with my own hands, and even burned your shop..."
This guy is a shameless fool to the extreme!
When she saw Xue Pan admitting everything, the eldest princess wanted to slap him twice.
Prince An seemed to be so angry that his face turned green.
But Ye Bilong was secretly happy that his heart was filled with flowers.
"As long as you admit it, it will be easier. Let's see where you can escape."
(For Xue Pan’s fate, please see the breakdown in the next round.)
