I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land
Chapter 1267 Shock
Although everyone knew that King Ling was coming to the county this time, they were afraid that he would take action against the prefect.
But no one expected that Prince Ling would be so direct.
There are people behind the prefect, but His Highness Prince Ling doesn't seem to have any backers.
Because of this, many people are worried.
However, King Ling waved his hand, indicating that he was not in the way.
Not only that, before Prince Ling ransacked his home, he actually sent someone to notify everyone in Linxian County to come and see.
Although everyone didn't know what happened, they still came out to watch the fun.
After all, people in this era don't have many entertainment options, so watching the excitement has become something that everyone likes.
Now King Ling had people gather them together, and even the entire street was guarded by guards, and cords were tied on both sides of the road to prevent people from getting close to the street.
Although they didn't know what happened, such a solemn feeling still made everyone tremble in their hearts.
Who would have thought that His Highness Prince Ling could involve them in the case.
Thinking of this, some of the people became panicky and worried that they would also be involved.
However, the guards around King Ling were guarding both sides of the street and had no intention of attacking them, which allowed the people to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hey, do you know what this is for? Why do I think this looks like the prefect's house is being ransacked?"
"Oh, don't tell me, it really looks like it."
"Why is it that the magistrate, who is so good, had his house confiscated?"
Everyone was puzzled, wondering what the prefect had done to cause his house to be ransacked.
The people around them looked inside with their heads raised.
"Aren't you curious about who could confiscate the prefect's home?"
These words made everyone look horrified.
Yes, in their Lin County, the largest official is the prefect.
I heard that the magistrate was originally at the government office, but for some unknown reason, he wanted to stay in their neighboring county.
They originally thought this was a good thing, because the prefect looked down on their Lin County.
But now that the prefect has been raided, everyone thinks that's not the case.
"Yes, who has such great power that he can confiscate the entire prefect's house?"
Some people shook their heads and sighed when they heard that the prefect's mansion had been raided.
Looking at it like that, he seemed to feel pity for the prefect.
There is a lot of movement here, and there are guards guarding both sides of the road.
Now that he heard that someone sympathized with the prefect of Linxian County, the guards couldn't help but look over.
I found out that this person was a scholar, and I didn’t seem to know scholars from wealthy families.
A peasant student would sigh for a corrupt official.
This made the guard feel that something was wrong.
"What? Do you know this prefect? Or are you very familiar with this prefect?"
The student didn't seem to expect that the guard would ask him, and he didn't hide it.
Especially when he saw the looks in the eyes of the people around him, he raised his head high.
It looked like he had received great honor.
When everyone saw him like this, they felt very strange.
They couldn't help but get out of the way, not wanting to have too much contact with that person.
However, the student had a misunderstanding. When he saw those people getting out of the way, he thought that it was because he knew the prefect that he made these people afraid.
He snorted coldly, "You are a little guard, why do you ask so many questions?"
"Of course I have a relationship with the prefect, but this is not something a guard should ask."
When the guard heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
He did not argue with the student, but winked at the guard beside him.
In an instant, the scholar, who had held his head high just now, was held down by two guards.
This scene happened so suddenly that no one could react and saw the scholar being arrested.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the guard's actions without hesitation.
"Let me go? You are just a little guard, why should you arrest me?"
When the student saw that he was actually captured by these big soldiers, his heart tightened with anger.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the guard glaring over fiercely.
Although he was also scared, seeing so many people there, he could also use the power of these people to save himself.
"Everyone, come and see, this guard hit someone casually. Everyone testified to me, this guard hit someone..."
The student started yelling, and people around him who didn't know the truth really thought he was being bullied when they heard his yell.
Seeing this, several students wanted to step forward to help, but were suppressed by other guards.
The guards felt that this was not an option, so they shouted to everyone: "Today, our Highness, Prince Ling, is here to arrest corrupt officials. We will arrest anyone related to the Lin County Magistrate."
As the guard finished speaking, everyone realized that someone had really gone to arrest someone in the prefect's mansion.
Although everyone did not see the prefect himself, they were dumbfounded when they saw the boxes of gold and silver jewelry that the guards brought out from the prefect's house.
Ordinary people may not be able to save ten taels of silver from the beginning to the end of the year without eating or drinking.
But in view of the wealth of the prefect's family, ten taels of silver are probably not enough for the prefect to repair the money box.
Although everyone was prepared, when they saw the boxes of gold and silver jewelry gradually filling the entire street, they were only shocked.
They never expected that the prefect would be so greedy.
Thinking about them, it was strange before that anyone dared to attack the prefect.
After all, the prefect is considered a good official in their eyes.
Although they didn't know why the prefect was a good official, when they heard some scholars talking about the prefect being a good official all day long, they also felt that the prefect might be a good official.
But who would have thought that this so-called 'good' official had embezzled so much money.
Some people really can't help it when they see these gold and silver jewelry.
After all, few people can resist the temptation of money.
Just like people who usually commit petty theft, now that they see so much money, they unconsciously collect it.
But when anyone saw the gold and silver jewelry being placed, he had already received the order, and the long sword at his waist had been unsheathed.
This is why everyone is greedy for the money placed on the street, but they dare not act.
Even people who thought they were very skilled in the past would not dare to act rashly at this time.
No one can guarantee whether the swords in the hands of those guards will fall on them in the next moment.
And they had just heard that these guards were different from the government officials.
These are the personal soldiers in the hands of His Highness Prince Ling. I heard that they were specially trained by the royal family.
Just hearing the word 'royal' made some people flinch.
