The arrival of the crown prince caused a sensation in Anzhou. In this era, it was impossible for ordinary people to meet the emperor, and the emperor usually did not come to a place like Anzhou when he went on tour. When was the last time His Majesty visited Anzhou? A hundred years ago or two hundred years ago?

It is already a kind of luck to be able to see the prince coming. Those simple people don't understand the life-and-death struggle above the temple. They simply thought that since this lord was the crown prince, after the emperor burped in the future, he would naturally hold the edict and hold the jade seal to become the new emperor.

And those who have been in the officialdom for a long time, like Qin Fei and Mu Qingshan, know very well that behind every change of throne, from the government and the opposition to the people, from the palace to the frontier, it is a struggle full of bloody wind and rain. Everyone who ascended the throne of God did not know how much blood was stained on their hands. Even if the ignorant child has ascended the throne, his supporter or mother must be the executioner.

The prince opened the curtain of the car, showed a sunny smile, and waved to the excited people on the street in a harmonious and amiable manner with his innate aristocratic atmosphere.

Many people were already in tears with excitement, and some of the elderly had even fainted. The girls shyly arranged their hair, hoping to be taken by the prince at a glance, and jumped into the dragon gate......

Accustomed to seeing such a scene, the guards and Ouchi guards indifferently separated the people from the convoy, vigilantly looking for possible assassins from the common people who were clamoring for the heavens and the earth, and exchanging information with their eyes and movements about safety and insecurity.

Qin Fei touched his chin, stood in front of the Governor's Mansion from a distance, and said in a low voice: "There is no complaint for stopping the prince's car, the people of Anzhou have disappointed me too much......"

As soon as the words were spoken, several people had already crawled to the front of the convoy, and the nervous guards were full of knives and guns, and in an instant, each of them had at least five or six knives on their necks, and a casual movement of the knife could cut their throats. The person who had prepared the lines was so frightened that he choked back.

Mu Qingshan smiled and said: "It's not so simple to block the road and shout grievances, without a strong heart, you may be scared to death by the guards at any time." It is said that when I was a small official, someone once stopped the sedan chair of the imperial history to complain. As soon as the man rolled in front of the sedan chair, the palm of his hand reached into his arms to touch the paper, and the guards took it as a hidden weapon and killed him on the spot. ”

"A country has its own laws, and it stands to reason that ordinary lawsuits can always find a place to reason." Qin Fei sighed lightly: "However, this is a fair and honest situation. If the passage for redress is blocked, then you can only risk suing the royal court or blocking the road to sue. It's a sadness! ”

Mu Qingshan joked: "Especially the Governor of Qin Zhen is still in charge of the Procuratorate, if the people fail to redress their grievances in the government, there is still the Inspector's Office to go." As soon as these people blocked the way, anyway, the Anzhou officials and the prosecutor's office were all embarrassed. ”

Mu Qingshan's words are not wrong at all, the prince likes to see such a scene very much, after coming out of the Eastern Capital, the prince has encountered at least twenty roadblocks along the way. Each time, he walked out of the carriage in a pleasant manner and told the guards not to frighten the people.

He likes to put on such a posture and appear to be very close to the people. He also likes to establish an image of being the master of the people, which is very helpful for him to build his confidence in front of his father. Especially those who complained, nine times out of ten they were persecuted by the government, and with the ability of the prince, it was a piece of cake to deal with a few small corrupt officials and corrupt officials...... Many states and counties along the way, after the prince, are grateful to Dade, and the people recite that the prince must be a bright monarch in the future!

As usual, the prince stepped out of the carriage, with a kind smile on his face, waved his hand to signal the guards to let go of their swords and guns, and asked loudly, "What grievances do you have?" ”

Several of them looked like ordinary people, wearing patched clothes, the older ones were almost fifty years old, and the younger ones were only sixteen or seventeen years old. They seemed to be frightened by the vicious guards, and the guards were only a few steps away from them by releasing their swords, and with their skills, they could snatch them up in a matter of moments and cut off their heads with great ease.

"I have wronged ......," the man in his fifties muttered. His voice was low and a little trembling...... The prince was very satisfied with this feeling, he was high, and the people were excited to faint when they saw him, or they were afraid and didn't know what to say. This is the nobility and the symbol of power......

"Don't be afraid, if there is a grievance, this prince will make the decision for you." The prince faced the people and announced loudly: "This prince hates corrupt officials the most, they eat the country's money, but they also loot the people's fat and ointment, which is simply inferior to beasts." As long as the prince knows who the corrupt officials are, he will definitely want them to look good. Xiao Anzi! ”

Xiao Anzi, the personal eunuch, immediately opened the note in his hand and read in a sharp voice: "The prince passed through Changqiao County on his way out on his way to the patrol, and verified that it was true that fourteen officials of all sizes such as the county order were corrupt and perverted the law and oppressed the people. The prince dealt with it according to the law, eleven people were sent to the criminal department, and three of them were beheaded first and then played......"

Listening to Xiao Anzi's glorious deeds, the prince smiled even more, and the people were even more boiling, this must be a gentleman......

With a hint of a sneer, Qin Fei looked at this farce of buying people's hearts, and said sarcastically: "I don't know if these few complainers were arranged by the prince himself." ”

Mu Qingshan's ears were quite pointed, and when he heard this, he said, "Qin Zhendu's guess may really be true." ”

"The three giants of Anzhou, the governor of Qinzhen, the governor of me, and the prefect Chuyang. Who do you think these actors can sue the three of us? ”

Qin Fei smiled faintly and did not answer, the prince is not a fool, of course he will not be stupid to deal with Chu Yang now. It was a contest between his father and Chu Yang's father, and the two sons were holding on to death. If the prince wants to stupidly order a few extras to provoke himself, it is pure madness. However, looking left and right, the prince has no reason to trouble Mu Qingshan?

"What the grass people want to sue is...... Qin Fei, the town governor of the Anton Prosecutor's Office......"

In the noisy voice, this sentence still fell into Qin Fei's ears very clearly.

The ten masters of the Prosecutor's Hall standing behind Qin Fei suddenly heard Qin Fei shouting: "Take down the assassin." ”

Mu Qingshan was secretly a little funny, didn't they just say that they wanted to be reported, why did they shout that they were assassins? Before his smile could appear on his face, Qin Fei's words had already sounded in his ears: "Is the prince a dumbfounder?" ”

"Of course not...... Mu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "There are assassins!" ”
