Chapter 35: Yanling City (Forgiven)

Seeing that the common people were indignant, the county commander began to prepare to scare them by force.

"Come on, blow them all away," the county magistrate said loudly, pointing at the people.

"You don't have to listen to him, just like the villagers said, he is not worthy of being a county commander at all, you all have families, and you are forced to do things with him, today you don't have to listen to him, think about your wives and children, think about your parents, are they willing to see you do something for this kind of person?" Zhang Erlang said to the soldiers.

The soldiers were originally reluctant to do something hurtful for that county order, but when they heard Zhang Erlang say this, they each looked at the place, and after being silent for a while, they pointed their weapons at the county order.

"You...... What are you going to do? I'm the county commander, do you want to rebel with them scum?" the county commander said to the soldiers in a panic.

"You are no longer our county magistrate, we have done so many things against our conscience for you over the years, we have long wanted you to come down" "Yes...... Since you became the county commander of Yanling City, you have made the lives of the common people miserable, and you are not worthy of being the county commander" The soldiers began to fall to Yanqi's side.

Seeing this, the county commander hurriedly ran away, thinking that Yanling City could no longer accommodate himself, and he had to hurry up and get some gold and silver treasures to develop elsewhere, he ran into the room while thinking.

Yan Qi and Wusheng, as well as the soldiers, also chased after him.

The prefectural magistrate hid in the room and locked the door.

"Brothers, let's go in and get him out. One of the soldiers said into the room.

A soldier kicked hard at the door. The door was kicked open. A few soldiers rushed in.

After a while, the county commander was escorted out by two soldiers, and the county commander was still holding a pile of gold in his hand.

"Don't kill me, these gold...... Oh no, I'll give you all my gold, please don't kill me......" said the magistrate shuddered.

"You corrupt official, you have been searching for food and wages everywhere in Yanling City all these years. This gold originally belonged to the common people," Zhang Erlang said angrily as he looked at the county magistrate holding the gold.

Seeing this, the county commander knelt on the ground.

"Uncle Yan, as long as you let me go, I will change my mind a little in the future and be a good man" After the county order finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and walked towards Chen Xiaojing with his legs rubbing.

"Miss Chen, please let me go, I wasn't a human being before, I shouldn't have done that to you, I'm not human, I'm not human......" The county magistrate slapped himself while saying to Chen Xiaojing.

"It's okay if we don't kill you, but you have to apologize to the people in the city, and you have to clear their grievances for Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing in front of the people in the city," Wusheng stood up and said.

"Okay, okay, I apologize, I will definitely return the innocence of the two of them, thank you, uncle, thank you uncle for not killing......" The county commander said to them with a smile on his head.

The soldiers began to tell the people everywhere to assemble at the gates of the city, for it was spacious after all.

In less than half a day's effort, the city gate was crowded with people.

Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing, as well as Wusheng and Wei Xuan, were all standing on the city gate, and some soldiers were also on the city gate, and the county order was also tied to a pillar on the city gate.

"Fellow villagers, I gathered you here today because I have a great joy to announce to you, the person you see is the county order of our Yanling City before, I believe everyone has been bullied by him, and I will tell you today that he will no longer be the county commander of our Yanling City in the future, and you will not have to be bullied in the future......" Zhang Erlang stood at the front and looked at the people below and said.

The people looked embarrassed when they saw the county order tied to the tree pillar, and they all had puzzled expressions, but after hearing Zhang Erlang's words, they basically applauded at the same time.

After Zhang Erlang finished speaking, he walked up to the county order and gave him a look.

"Fellow villagers, I have done some bad things to you before, I hope you can forgive me, I will change my mind and be a good person in the future, fellow villagers and elders, I am here to say sorry to everyone......" The county commander knew what Zhang Erlang's eyes meant, and hurriedly said.

The people below cursed after listening to the words of the county order.

Yan Qi walked in front of the county order and said, "It seems that you have really done all the bad things over the years, and the villagers can't wait for you to die early."

"Uncle Yan, I know that I have done a lot of bad things before, I just apologized to everyone, if you don't forgive me, I can't help it, you can't go back on your word. You promised me before, as long as I apologize, you will let me go," the county magistrate said anxiously.

"I didn't say I was going to kill you, let you clear our name, you haven't said yet," Yan Qi said.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say it, I'll say it," the county magistrate nodded quickly.

"Fellow villagers, I have one more thing to admit to you, Yan Qi and Chen Xiaojing who are standing above are not ghosts, both of them were framed by me, and finally the people killed by Yan Qi are also some damned people, I hope you don't misunderstand the two of them again, it's all my fault......" The county magistrate said helplessly.

After the county order was finished, there was another commotion below.

"Didn't the two of them die a long time ago?" "Yes, those who died said that it was not done by man" "Do you think that the county order was controlled by the two of them, so they said such things...... "The people below, you and I say a word."

Seeing this, Yan Qi walked to the front and said, "Folks, please be quiet, I have something to say to you......"

"You're a murderer, so many people have died, and you still say they deserve to die, I see, you are in the same group as that county commander......" Someone below stood up and said.

"Folks, listen to me, I admit that I killed people, I admit that I have also done a lot of hurtful things, but folks, I was forced to do this, the people I killed were all ordinary and domineering people, if you can name a person who thinks I kill good people indiscriminately. I can take one life for another, but then again, I don't want everyone to forgive me when I explain this, I can accept the punishment I just hope that everyone will not misunderstand us again, Xiaojing is innocent, I hope you don't embarrass her in the future......" Yan Qi said with a serious face.

The people were silent after hearing this, they thought about it carefully, and felt that what Yan Qi said made sense, and those who died were also people who were often tyrannical, and they were usually bullied by those people.

"Folks, I believe what Yan Qi said, today he is in addition to the great harm of the county order for us, folks, you can't be like this, you can be happy if you have benefits, I believe in my daughter, I also believe what Yan Qi said, folks, please give the two of them a chance, but also give ourselves a chance......" A middle-aged man with white hair came out and said to everyone.

"Father?" Chen Xiaojing looked at the familiar back, and her eyes instantly turned red.

The people began to nod their heads when they heard what Master Chen said, thinking that what he said made sense.

"Okay, we believe you, folks, we are willing to give the two young people a chance, right?" said a big man loudly.

"Right...... To ......" the people said in unison.

"Great, Xiaojing, the villagers are willing to forgive us" Yan Qi hugged Chen Xiaojing excitedly.

Wusheng and Xiangxiang, as well as Wei Xuan and Lu Yao, Zhang Erlang and the soldiers were all moved by the scene in front of them when they saw this.

Chen Xiaojing was held by Yan Qi and leaned on Yan Qi's shoulder, looking at the familiar figure with red eyes, feeling much older than four years ago, and there were many vicissitudes of life......
