Chapter 233: Adventure in the Valley

Hou Qu was flushed on the side, and scolded excitedly. "You are such a beast, return my junior sister, brother's life!" A few more punches in a row.

Liu Yichen looked at him like that, thinking that he had to make a quick decision. "Just fulfill your last wish, go on the road with peace of mind, don't blame me."

The sharp blade, with a swipe, went towards King Ling's neck. Just as the blade entered the flesh, a strange laugh came out of his mouth.

There was a flash of lightning and thunder, and King Ling shouted loudly. "The real dragon has ascended to heaven!" In an instant, the blood in his neck flowed to the ground, and the head rolled to the ground.

His head, staring at Song Zhiyao, turned a few times in a row, and threw a few winks before stopping, his eyes still open.

Hou Qu was in a hurry, and kicked it away. "Return all the harm you have done!" He cried loudly, the corners of his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help himself for a while.

Song Zhiyao looked at his miserable appearance and sympathized in her heart. "Bury the woman's body alive, don't hurt Brother Hou's heart."

Liu Yichen looked at those soldiers, and now that their culprit was dead, he naturally didn't dare to make trouble. "Command all the people in the city to welcome the king."

The soldiers who were in rebellion saluted respectfully and ran out of the door with great respect. For them, only then can there be hope of avoiding punishment.

Soon, the sky was bright, and in the east, a rainbow rose. The seven colors are so dazzling, it seems that there is a dragon head in the middle.

Liu Yichen stared over there, with mixed feelings in his heart. I couldn't help but see a trace of tears in my cheeks. "It's really providential, it's fate."

These tears, with his emotion, are all about making people, King Ling was originally a pure and good person, but because of greed, he embarked on the evil road.

These people have suffered an unjustified disaster, and this riot, I don't know how many innocent lives have been harmed.

I don't know how long she stayed there, Song Zhiyao looked at Liu Yichen like that, quietly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him gently.

"Good husband, don't be sad anymore, the number of days is naturally like this, it is also a good thing to let him be freed from reincarnation as soon as possible, and return heaven and earth to justice."

Looking at Song Zhiyao's cute and beautiful little face, Liu Yichen's mood was also a little happier. Hold her tightly and take her into your arms.

His warm palm, slowly caressing. Love Song Zhiyao's cheeks. "Okay Yao'er, how can I do this? Let's go, you have a good rest. ”

Those courtesans stepped forward one after another and knelt down to Liu Yichen. That face was very sad. "Brother Huang, the little ones are forced."

Liu Yichen looked at them and sighed in his heart. "It's these poor women who only rely on their appearance to survive, let them go back to their hometown, and fend for themselves."

He thought of the entire Ling Wang's Mansion, and there were a lot of gold and silver treasures on it. "I won't pursue you, give you some silver, and go back to your hometown to get married."

Hearing Liu Yichen's magnanimous words, those beautiful singers were relieved. "Thank you, Lord for your grace." Kowtowed heavily.

At the same time, those county orders who followed King Ling's rebellion were frightened when they heard the news. "How can it be that it failed so quickly."

They also know that the crime of rebellion by the soldiers is considered light, and according to the law of the imperial court, the three clans should be destroyed. They packed up their softness and prepared to flee.

At the same time, those brute soldiers are also out of control. They wandered around and scattered in small bands, plundering the people and making them unsafe.

Liu Yichen and them brought Hou Qu back to his residence, and after such a toss, Hou Qu's body was almost falling apart, his face was haggard and listless.

Liu Yichen ordered Doctor Lu. "Doctor, you must heal this brother, he is my best brother, don't make any mistakes."

Doctor Lu carried him back and settled him on a soft bed, with herbs, carefully conditioned. At this time, Lao Ling Wang walked out.

Just a few months ago, there were many black strands in his hair, but now, it is completely white. His eyes were bloodshot red.

He was dressed in a plain white cloth coat and walked forward slowly, pinching the placket of his clothes from time to time. In the corners of his mouth, he silently muttered strange incantations.

Liu Yichen looked at him like that, and he was also sad. The old king raised his head, the wrinkles on his forehead tightened, and he let out a long sigh. "Still."

Looking at that sad expression, Liu Yichen didn't know how to say it well. Song Zhiyao stepped forward and said kindly.

"Old county king, the little dragon has ascended to heaven, I only hope that the old dragon in the sky can cross the calamity for him, cultivate the Buddha body, stay away from everything, and be born in the realm of bliss."

Hearing this, the old county king raised his head and looked at Song Zhiyao, and after a while, he smiled bitterly on his face, and then continued to choke up.

"The old man has already figured it out, this thing must be like this, that night, the old man was sitting in the house, and a thunderclap hit the old man."

He then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and coughed. "I knew he wasn't there, after all, father and son were really uncomfortable."

Liu Yichen looked at the old county king and remembered the emperor. "When the Ancestor Emperor's dragon body was still there, it was also so kind, but now it is gone."

Thinking of this, he held back the tears in the corners of his eyes and hugged the old county king tightly. "Senior, everything has been arranged in the next life."

The two of them couldn't stand it anymore, hugged each other, and cried loudly. Song Zhiyao was also sad, took a handkerchief, and gently handed it over.

After a long time, the old county king stopped crying, and his face was solemn and calm. "Despite all the mistakes he has committed, he still wants to see him."

Liu Yichen looked at him like that, and hesitated in his heart. "I'm afraid that the seniors will be even more sad when they see it, so it's just incense and more things."

Hearing this, the old county king raised his breath and shouted in despair. "It's true that the old man has failed the court, but this side, I really want to see it."

They couldn't resist the old county king, so they could only take out the black fragrant wood box containing the county king's head. "It's business as usual, senior."

The old king's hands trembled, and it took a long time before he slowly opened the box. Inside, a beautiful and handsome head is displayed.

King Ling's head was closed tightly, and the wound below was also very neat, without any bones or broken flesh, and his expression was very peaceful.

The warm wind blew through and lifted the flowing hair. Lao Ling Wang stretched out his old hand and stroked it over and over again, his white and bloodless cheeks.

"Son!" He fell to his knees and sighed. "That's it, the old man wants to stitch up that skull and personally send his beloved son on the last journey."

Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, the two of them looked at the old county king, and they felt some comfort in their hearts. "In any case, the old county king still accepted it."

Song Zhiyao said with a helpless smile. "That's it, at least the old county king didn't have any accidents, and we should be content, right?"

Liu Yichen turned around and ordered the servants on the other side. "Listen, everyone, guard the old county king at all times, and there must not be the slightest danger."

Those servants, one after another, led the order, helped the old county king, and went to the house. Song Zhiyao took Liu Yichen's hand and sighed.

"It's just that these people have suffered like this, and we must appease them, and we can't let them drift away and continue to suffer."

Liu Yichen looked at Song Zhiyao and said with a smile. "That's right, we will go back to the county office early today, those people need us."

They drove the carriage all the way in the direction of the county yamen. The ragged people looked over there gratefully, their expressions full of anticipation.

Song Zhiyao said to Liu Yichen. "Xianggong, just to get rid of that big trouble, we still have to rectify those tax packages and let them return the land."

Listening to Song Zhiyao's words, Liu Yichen nodded approvingly and said with a smile. "I can't imagine that my Yao'er can be so smart and clever."

Song Zhiyao pursed her pink lips with a hint of mischievousness. "It's not a good school, a slave family, how can you get such skills."

When they arrived at the county office, Liu Yichen was sitting in a precarious position, and the people who were queuing up to fight the lawsuit lined up in a long line from outside the gate, and they simply arrived outside the city gate.

These poor people kowtowed one by one and complained of bitterness. "My lord, those lands were robbed by those taxes."

Liu Yichen listened to their words, and he was also very anxious in his heart. "It's just that the tax pack, so much, I have to kill them all."

Having said that, those tax collectors also relied on the power of King Ling to do many evil things, and everyone in the people was resentful and must be punished.

Liu Yichen groaned for a long time, and slapped the wood in shock. "Arrest those wicked people who collect taxes, and return all the land they have plundered to their original owners."

Although this method is too rough, Liu Yichen knows that if he wants to restore the good time of Qingming, he must be ruthless and eradicate the disaster.

When the people heard his words, they couldn't believe it, and after a while, they said with joy. "Long live the royal brother, who saved our little people."

Liu Yichen then ordered the officials. "Find out those land atlases, don't make any mistakes, and make sure that the land is returned to its original owner."

Then he shouted. "Quit." Those officials did not dare to slack off. Follow those people, and go and arrest the tax collectors.

Liu Yichen returned to the backyard and looked at Song Zhiyao. "Good Yao'er, I have solved the people's affairs, that is, to return their land."

Song Zhiyao turned around and said with a smile. "Xianggong, it's really a good thing, that is, those people should make arrangements for their lives, and they will not regenerate disasters."

Liu Yichen said with a confident smile. "Yao'er, don't worry, the next step, I'm going to find Ren Wang and ask him to catch those officials who have escaped."

Song Zhiyao listened to Liu Yichen's words, thought for a while, and then replied. "But don't chase after them, and don't let them recur."

Listening to Song Zhiyao's words, Liu Yichen said. "The soldiers are ready, they can't escape very far, they will be caught immediately."

Liu Yichen took Ren Wang and led a team of elite cavalry, and they sent newcomers and posted notices in each county where they launched a rebellion.

"Now that the chaos has been calmed down, those who have gone astray can exchange weapons for silver, and if weapons are found, they will be complicit in rebellion, and they will be severely punished."

At the same time, they also put up notices depicting the faces of the officials involved in the rebellion. "As an official of the imperial court, he actually plotted rebellion, and he was rewarded for capture."

Those soldiers who made a rebellion were originally nomads in the countryside, and they were engulfed in them for a bite to eat. When I saw this notice, there was a lot of discussion.

"Let's hand over those rags and exchange them for silver taels?" "The court won't kill the head, let's hurry up!" Within a few days, those weapons were piled up everywhere.

At the same time, Liu Yichen sent a letter to invite acquaintances. They trafficked in grain, cloth, and the prices of goods that had risen due to the chaos also subsided.

Those who collected taxes either fled or were caught by angry people. Those land atlases, after a few days, were also counted by Liuyichen.

"Ascension!" Liu Yichen read the names on the roster majestically. "The second king of the wharf village, Zhang Da plundered the riverside beach land with taxes, one acre and two points!"

"Widow Zhang of Xiniu Village, including taxes Liu Hu, plundered a hectare of cultivated land on the mountain!" Every time a name was called, excited people were brought over.

Liu Yichen personally awarded them Tian Ping, and said kindly. "Live a good life and be a good people." They couldn't help themselves.

After several busy days, those who paid taxes were beaten in the court and sent to hard labor, and the people also applauded.
