I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

"Oh, don't you want to see the evidence of this king's identity?" Li An smiled and looked at Wang Xi.

"My lord, before, the grassroots were ignorant, and they didn't know Mount Tai. The lord must not care about the little people. The little people are willing to make amends to the lord."

"How to pay?"

Wang Xi clapped his hands, and after a while, the cashier quickly ran out with a pile of bank notes.

"My lord, this is a 10 taels of silver note, and it is regarded as an apology from the little people to the lord."

"10 taels, that's really a lot." Li An sighed, and didn't go to pick it up, but continued to ask: "How much money do you have to pay Wang Shi a month for this casino?"

Wang Xi was vigilant, and replied with a smile: "My lord, this is a legitimate business, and this casino has nothing to do with my uncle."

Li An glanced at Princess Lanwei.

Princess Lanwei took out the bank note that Li An had given her before: "Your uncle is much smarter than you."

Wang Shi frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, his face was full of ecstasy. Sure enough, this King Chen is not a good person, he is the same person as himself!

Thinking of this, Wang Xi replied truthfully: "My gambling shop gives my uncle 1000 taels a month."

"So much?" Li An pretended to be surprised: "You make a lot of money in this gambling house in a month."

Wang Xi smiled proudly: "My casino is all about reputation and honesty, so many dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and powerful people are willing to come to my casino to play a few games."

"So that's the case." Li An smiled.

"My lord, Xiaomin is willing to give my lord five times the silver taels every month to honor my lord."

"Oh? Why did you give me money for no reason?"

"My lord, the little people have offended me a lot before, and these are my apologies to the lord." Wang Xi accompanied her with a smile.

"That's right, you're very smart." Li An nodded in satisfaction, "I like what you said very much. It's only natural to pay off debts!"

Wang Xi thought that Li An was a compliment, and repeatedly echoed Li An's flattery.

"Does your casino have a back door?" Li An looked at Wang Xi.

Wang Xi looked at Li An suspiciously, but still nodded.

"Okay, you just stay here honestly, my king is going out for a while."

"My lord, are you going?" Wang Xi looked at Li An suspiciously.

"Wang Junshou is still waiting for this king to go to his house for dinner." Li An said with a smile, and immediately looked at Wang Hu: "Old Wang, he is your family, and I leave it to you. You know what this king wants."

"Don't worry, my lord, it's not the first time I've done this, Old Wang." Wang Hu smiled cruelly.

Chapter 235

Li An led the old emperor and the others towards the back door, and Wang Xi followed with a smile on his face: "My lord, Xiaomin will see you off."

"Huh?" Li An turned around and gave Wang Xi a cold look.

Wang Xi was so frightened that his whole body became hairy, and he lowered his head in fear: "My lord, go slowly."

After Li An took them away, Wang Xi looked at the two girls kneeling on the ground with dark eyes: "I don't like your performance, young master."

The two girls' faces were pale with fright, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

Wang Xi pulled out his whip from behind and walked towards the two girls viciously. The girls closed their eyes in despair.

Just when Wang Xi raised his whip to whip, Wang Hu grabbed Wang Xi's arm.

"This is you?" Wang Xi looked at Wang Hu suspiciously.

"What kind of skill is beating a woman? I like to beat me, Lao Wang, to accompany you." Lao Wang looked cruel!

Li An's guards also drew out their knives, sharpening their knives and rushing towards the pigs and sheep, no, sharpening their knives and rushing towards many thugs.

Clear the venue first, then handle the affairs, the process must not be forgotten!

……

"Ah~" There was a shrill scream, because it was far away, there was nothing there.

Empress Qi subconsciously looked behind her: "An'er, is there any sound?"

"Mother, you got it wrong." Li An smiled calmly.

The old emperor looked at Li An suspiciously: "You actually let him go?"

The old emperor felt that with Li An's character, he should have killed that disobedient citizen on the spot.

Li An smiled and looked at the old emperor: "Father, since you want to watch a play, everyone must be present, so that you can put on an unparalleled show!

Father, don't worry, he won't live, Lan Wei has already said, and another one will die, son-in-law loves Lan Wei very much. "

The old emperor nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask any more questions.

Moving on, there was noise ahead.

"Immortal, let me go!"

Looking along, I saw that in the backyard, several brawny men with bare arms were beating a middle-aged man with a whip.

The back of the middle-aged man was ripped apart, but he still hugged the strong man's thigh tightly.

In the brawny man's arms, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl's face turned pale, her face full of fear: "Please don't beat my father."

"I'll be able to collect enough money to pay you back soon, please give me another two days, I only have this one seedling in my family, sir, I beg you." The middle-aged man cried.

Obviously, this is another gambler who owed a huge sum of money to the casino because of gambling and was unable to repay, and the casino arrested his daughter.

Empress Qi looked at the scene in front of her with some unbearable eyes.

Li An patted the back of Empress Qi's hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, he just suffered on his own, and he doesn't deserve sympathy."

"But that girl." Empress Qi looked distressed.

Liu Yiyi looked at the scene in front of her, and she was stunned in place, with a tearing pain in her heart.

She was so desperate and helpless back then...

Li An noticed Liu Yiyi's strangeness, he walked over and hugged Liu Yiyi in his arms, and kissed her clean forehead.

Immediately she said softly: "Yiyi, we will leave right away, don't be afraid."

"Yeah." Liu Yiyi squeezed out a smile, but her body was still trembling uncontrollably.

Several strong men in the yard also spotted Li An and the others, but they just took a look and ignored them.

Continue to turn around and beat the middle-aged man.

There are guards all the way to the backyard, most people can't get through, and those who can come are those who have the young master's instructions.

Li An put his arms around Liu Yiyi's shoulders and led everyone towards the gate of the courtyard, while his guards directly drew out their knives.

"Shua~" He sealed his throat cleanly with a knife.

Before the strong men had time to react, they lost their vitality and fell to the ground heavily.

"Ah~" The girl let out a shrill and terrified scream, and Li An's personal guards put their fingers on their lips and made a gesture of silence.

Empress Qi heard the screams behind her, and subconsciously looked back, but was blocked by Li An's figure.

"Queen, don't look, it will affect your appetite." Li An said with a smile.

Empress Qi already knew what happened behind her, she sighed lightly, turned around and left the courtyard with Princess Lanwei's support.

As soon as he left the yard, Liu Qing had already led a group of disguised soldiers waiting outside.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty." Liu Qing and everyone knelt down to salute the old emperor.

The old emperor looked surprised at Liu Qing, he had the impression that Liu Qing did not go out with them this time.

They entered the gambling house as soon as they entered the city, and it took no more than half an hour before and after.

How did Liu Qing know that they were going to come out from the back door, so he had brought people to wait early.

The old emperor subconsciously looked into the dark, but did not find the person he wanted to see.

His hidden guard is not around here!

The old emperor looked at Li An and nodded appreciatively. The old nine's hidden guards were well trained.

"My lord, will this subordinate take you there?" Liu Qing looked at Li An inquiringly.

Li An nodded.

……

In Wang Shi's house, Wang Shi frowned and paced back and forth in the yard, why did he feel more and more uneasy in his heart?

Do you always feel that there is something in the words of King Chen today?But King Chen also accepted his own bribe. Although 1000 taels is not too much, he accepted it after all!

In the end, Wang Shi could only think of one variable, and that was Wang Xi.

"Where did Wang Xi go today?" Wang Shi asked.

"Returning to my lord, Master Wang Xi went to the brothel today."

"It's fine if you're not in the casino. Has the prince ever come out of the casino?"

"The prince hasn't come out yet, so he should still be playing in the gambling house. The prince's people have blocked the gambling house to prevent people from entering, and we can't send people to sneak in."

"Keep watching. By the way, go and inform the clansmen that King Chen has arrived in Nanshui County. Be honest. If King Chen catches the handle, don't blame me for destroying relatives righteously!"

"Yes!"

……

A mountain village on the outskirts of the city.

"My lord, today just happens to be the day when the royal family collects land rent." Liu Qing said respectfully.

Li An nodded. This is why he arrived in Nanshui County today.

Everyone was walking on a small road in the country, with fields on both sides of the road.

The rest of the fields have been harvested, only one paddy field has not yet been harvested.

The golden ears of rice bend the waist of the rice, and there are many fruits. This year is a bumper year.

Beside the rice field, an old farmer with bare arms looked at the golden ears of rice, smirked for a while, and cried bitterly, beating his chest and feet.

The old emperor leaned over suspiciously: "Old man, this year has yielded a lot of fruit, why are you crying?"

The old farmer looked back at the old emperor, and his eyes were filled with despair.

He stood up, looking a little stooped.

Pointing to the rice field in front of him, the old farmer pointed to half of it and said, "This half is a tax for the imperial court."

Then he pointed to the other half: "This half is the land rent for the Wang family."

In the end, the old farmer pointed to the small slap in the corner of the rice field and said in despair: "This piece is mine."

After finishing speaking, he slumped on the ground again: "The old wife at home has been bedridden for several months, and we can't fill our stomachs without harvest, let alone see a doctor for her.

The children in the family also starved to death long ago, and the sold ones were sold. After the old wife died, I was the only one. I took one last look at the rice fields, and when I returned, I took my old wife to the underworld.

This world is too bitter, I won't come in my next life... I won't come! "

As he said that, the old farmer abandoned the hoe that had accompanied him all his life, and walked towards the village with his hands behind his back and his stooped figure.

He kept saying over and over again: "I won't come, I won't come."

Chapter 236

The old emperor felt a little heavy for a while, he could feel the old farmer's dead breath and the endless despair of life.

He frowned and looked at the golden rice fields in front of him with a solemn expression.

If there is no idle land in the world, the farmers will still starve to death!

Li An looked at the back of the old farmer, picked up the hoe he had abandoned on the ground, and shouted: "Old man, you forgot something."

The old farmer glanced back, looking at the hoe in Li An's hand, his eyes were full of reluctance.

In the end, he wiped the corners of his eyes and said in despair, "I won't need it anymore. If you value the bit of iron on the hoe, then take it away."

"Old man, this world is actually quite interesting. It's already here, why don't you stay longer! It will get better." Li An said with a smile.
