I really can't control myself

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wronged." Seeing the two soldiers next to him coming up and trying to hold him down, Qin Haofeng here was really panicked and said quickly to Li Ying.

Now he really felt that he was somewhat unjust. After all, there was no big problem with his procedures. Linton killed the people under his control. Even if he was not arrested, he was not guilty. Being caught is obviously because the emperor has gone too far, okay?

"Pull it down." However, the emperor's words made his heart sink even more. He was obviously not even trying to pretend, and he had no intention of trying to reason with him, right?

In that case, Qin Haofeng simply gave up. I didn't intend to say it explicitly. After all, there is really no benefit in singing against the emperor. Even if you win, can you still be there? But now that it's like this, he can't die in vain.

So he directly raised his voice and shouted: "May I ask Your Majesty, what crime did Qin commit? I want to know it until I die!"

After all, there are so many people watching now. Although it might not be too good to win, it can't be worse than the current situation, right? He just hoped that the emperor would show some respect, and that he would not be able to directly chop him down in front of everyone.

To be honest, Li Ying was really in a bit of trouble. After all, he was an emperor who rebelled and came to power. The most taboo thing now and what he wants to avoid the most is legal issues.

Now that he wants to be emperor, he can't keep up the image of being disrespectful of etiquette and law.

As for the rebellion now, his ancestor Li Fuyi endorsed him, so it was slightly reduced, and he was washing his hands. But if he ignores the national law and unjustly kills a city lord in front of his face, not only his ministers will think that the emperor wants to deal with them, but he has no scruples about doing anything to them. Moreover, the people would also think that the emperor was unreasonable and did not follow the law at all, and then they would think of things like his rebellion and rebellion.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, he really has to think carefully about how to deal with Qin Haofeng, at least on the surface, he has to give him a justifiable reason to deal with him.

But he looked at Linton next to him and made a quick decision to blindly support his son-in-law. After all, his son-in-law is Linton, so he should stand by Linton unconditionally at this time. This is the most correct decision.

Just as he was about to continue to say something like "Crime? Groundless", suddenly a sad female voice sounded from beside him.

"Xu Xinyi, daughter of the people, thank you for making the decision for the women of the people, and thank you to the two righteous men for avenging my father!" It was Xu Xinyi who spoke. After speaking, she started kowtowing to Li Ying here and Linton and Chu Chengwen next to her. It's also the kind that makes a sound. There was already blood on his forehead after two strokes.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chengwen next to him quickly grabbed Xu Xinyi and tried to help her up, but Xu Xinyi refused to get up.

"Oh?" Li Ying's eyes lit up. He didn't know the situation at all, but when he heard this, he suddenly seemed to have found an opening. "Are you Xu Xinyi? Qin Haofeng, aren't you asking yourself what your crime is? Come on, come on Tell me what his crime is."

Although Li Ying really didn't know the situation, she understood Xu Xinyi's statement. Yes, Xu Xinyi shouted so loudly and made such big movements on purpose. It was obviously intentional. This was a deliberate show of kindness to him.

Her first sentence was to thank Li Ying for making the decision for him. What decision? Li Ying didn't know, but he did this and chose his team blindly.

Therefore, although it was actually the first time for Li Ying to talk to Xu Xinyi, her tone seemed to have heard of her grievances before, and it felt like she was really here to make the decision for her. In fact, he doesn't know what the specific matter is now, and he is waiting for Xu Xinyi to explain it to him.

I have to say that the two of them cooperated really well. At least from the perspective of passers-by, Li Ying was really here to make the decision for Xu Xinyi.

"The daughter of the people complained with tears. Ye Yuli, the head of the Ye family, assassinated my father for the sake of my family's wealth. And Qin Haofeng, the lord of Yangcheng City, accepted bribes from the Ye family, colluded internally and externally, and ignored my father's unjust case..." Xu Xinyi cried and howled, crying That's heartbreaking. But if he can explain things clearly in just a few words, he can be called a capable person.

Li Ying naturally understood that the girl's father was murdered and the Ye family was the mastermind. Qin Haofeng probably had something to do with the Ye family, so he suppressed the case and made it an accident.

Hearing this, Li Ying suddenly felt confident. Good guy, he really didn't know that Qin Haofeng was still a bad guy. That's good. He would definitely have no problem killing people now.

Of course, Li Ying was sure that Xu Xinyi had no evidence or witnesses. He had never heard of the Ye family, but he could tell from looking at it that it was a big family. After all, Qin Haofeng is also a city lord, and there will definitely be no obvious flaws or evidence in such simple finishing work.

But it doesn't matter. The advantage of the emperor is that whatever he believes is what he believes. He can make a solid case without evidence. As long as he has this reason.

What's more, it seems that this matter really doesn't require much effort to solve. After all, looking at the expressions of some passers-by and spectators, they seem to know about it.

In fact, this is the case. Xu Xinyi's matter is not a trivial matter in Yangcheng, and many people know about it. Everyone originally guessed what Xu Xinyi said, but in fact everyone thought that the murderer was the Ye family.

But the Ye family has such a big business that no one dares to mess with it, and no one dares to say it openly. But now that I heard that the emperor would make the decision for the Xu family again, of course everyone would reject it. I didn't dare to say it at first, but now everyone started to discuss it. The discussion was so loud that even from a distance, Li Ying could hear some of its meaning.

"Qin Haofeng, do you know your guilt?" With confidence, Li Ying said directly to Qin Haofeng.

"I am wronged. This case was reported by my subordinates. After his investigation, it was an accident. I really did not accept bribes." Qin Haofeng was really panicked. After all, this was a fact and he had indeed done it. The bribe was really confiscated, but didn't he want to get closer to the Ye family?

"You still dare to quibble? Pull him down and torture him severely." Li Ying was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved her hand directly. As for torture, this is the way to investigate crimes and there is nothing wrong with it. Whether you can bear it or not is your problem.

"Isn't it..." Qin Haofeng wanted to say something else, but the soldier next to him directly pressed his mouth and dragged him down. Yes, the soldiers next to him saw that the emperor was determined to deal with him. They didn't dare to let the dying man continue to speak, otherwise what if they were dragged in together? They also knew about this, okay?

"Ah." At this moment, Linton suddenly seemed to have come to his senses, pointing at the little old man on the ground and said, "Wait a minute, is this guy... the head of the Ye family?"
