I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Twenty slaps was the number of tasks. After completing them, Xu Yi stopped.

But at this time, Wang Wanqing's whole face was swollen and her eyes were full of tears.

"Lei, wait for the chicken, I'll report it to you."

"What, what did she say?"

Xu Yi had already retreated, and the others also stopped.

After hearing Wang Wanqing's harsh words, he asked teasingly.

"He seemed to say, just wait, he is going to report to the police." Ma Wei reminded.

Although he knew that Prince Ji was venting his anger for him, he was not aware of his other plans.

He was wondering how to get out of this situation now. Should he run?

"Report to the police. That's great. Just wait."

There's no need to report to the police. With such a big commotion here and so many people watching, the patrolling police from the yamen will arrive soon.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

Pushing the crowd aside, three yamen runners walked in.

"what happened."

The first thing they saw was the Wang family's carriage, and it was the carriage of the trouble-making Wang family's eldest daughter. Several yamen runners sighed in their hearts.

I don't know which unlucky guy will be unlucky enough to meet this evil star today.

"Wahha, come and wash yourself."

Wang Wanqing pointed at Xu Yi and the others and yelled.

The guards turned their heads and took a look. They were shocked. Who was this man? He was beaten like this.

But they didn't understand what he just said.

"This is my little lady. They beat her up. Arrest them all."

The maid beside her quickly translated.

Could it be that the young lady in their family is the spoiled eldest daughter of the Wang family?

How did you get beaten like this?

"You are so bold that you dare to cause trouble in the street and beat others.

Come on, follow us to the county government office."

Xu Yi did not resist and just followed the bailiff openly.

"Well, Miss Wang, you are the victim, you also need to go, otherwise there is no way to punish them."

The bailiff spoke to Wang Wanqing politely again.

Wang Wanqing got on the carriage immediately with fire in her eyes. She was the victim and the plaintiff. If she didn't go, she would just cause trouble in the street, but there would be no beating of anyone.

In this way, a group of people came to the county government office in a mighty manner, and many people also followed to watch the excitement.

The court session was quick. The county magistrate was named Zheng and was a member of the Zheng family's side branch.

"Your Excellency, I have captured a group of thieves who have maliciously injured people and disturbed public order in the county.

The thief has been caught, please make the decision, sir."

The bailiff came forward to report.

"Oh? There is someone so bold. Who... is this person...?"

The county magistrate did not recognize Wang Wanqing at first when he saw her beaten beyond recognition.

"Return to the Ming Mansion. This is my young lady. She was beaten like this by these people. I hope the Ming Mansion can make the decision."

Wang Wanqing was not in a position to speak, so the maid beside her replied.

"It turns out to be the young lady from the Wang family." County Magistrate Zheng nodded.

He looked at Xu Yi and others again, and after watching for a while he felt that they did not seem to be from this county.

"Where are you from? Why did you treat the lady of the Wang family so harshly? Tell the truth."

Xu Yi stepped forward and saluted.

"Your Excellency, I am Xu Yi. I am from Chang'an and I am a guard. I have come to Jimo County to do something for my master.

Just now their carriage almost hit us, and they wanted to have someone beat us up and throw us on the roadside.

We have no choice but to fight back. If you hit us too hard, we are willing to pay compensation."

“Nonsense, you guys are deliberately committing violence and are targeting us.

You stopped our carriage on purpose."

Wang Wanqing's maid heard what was said lightly and immediately refuted it.

County Magistrate Zheng frowned. This man was just a bodyguard. If that was the case, he must have a family background.

People from Chang'an who have guards must be from important backgrounds.

But Wang Wanqing is the legitimate daughter of the local Wang family. If I don't seek justice for her, it will be unacceptable in Jimo County.

No matter what, the Wang family is also a big family in the local area. They have been operating for many years and have deep roots.

After thinking about it, he decided it would be better to ask clearly, so he continued.

"Whose guards are you in Chang'an?"

"This... the master is not in a position to disclose it. I hope you will forgive me."

Xu Yi pretended to hesitate for a moment.

"Humph, no matter whose guard you are, if you hit a member of my Wang family, you will be punished."

Just then, a cold snort came from the crowd watching the excitement outside.

A middle-aged man in fancy clothes walked in.

"Aye~"

When Wang Wanqing saw the person coming, she ran over with tears in her eyes and cried bitterly on his shoulder.

"Okay, don't cry. Your father will definitely take care of it for you."

The person who came was Wang Wanqing's father, the legitimate son of the current head of the family, Wang Zhengyi.

Upon receiving the news that his daughter was beaten in the street, he immediately rushed to the yamen.

"Greetings, Governor." Wang Zhengyi brought his daughter back to the Taoist hall and bowed to County Magistrate Zheng.

"Well, no courtesy."

"My daughter was beaten in the street. Now she is in such a state. I ask you to seek justice for her."

Wang Zhengyi said this righteously.

"Don't worry, I will handle this impartially."

The eldest son of the Wang family came forward, and he just wanted to do a favor. His Zheng family and the Wang family also have some friendship.

Thinking of this, he had an idea.

"Xu Yi, you committed a crime in the street, assaulted others, and injured them. According to the law, you should be punished with 100 strokes of the cane.

You are subordinates, and your crime will be more severe.

Committing a crime in a busy city has a huge impact and is an even more serious crime.

I sentence you to three years of hard labor."

"Three years?"

Xu Yi was a little surprised. As long as the beating was not too severe, it would usually be caning, unless the person was seriously injured or died.

"Come here, have them sign and seal."

Magistrate Zheng wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly to avoid any complications. No matter whose guards they were, the fact was that they committed murder in the street.

Even if he wants to get them out in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

When the time comes, just tell the Wang family that the other party is very powerful and there is nothing they can do.

"Wait, Mr. Ming, I think the sentence is a bit too heavy, we don't accept it."

Xu Yi spoke immediately.

"I don't accept it. You beat my daughter like this. It's a bargain for you to do hard labor. How dare you not accept it?"

Wang Zhengyi said angrily.

"You're not convinced? There's irrefutable evidence that you assaulted others. Why are you not convinced?

And the sentence I gave is not severe at all.

I have always acted in accordance with the law."

Magistrate Zheng glanced at Xu Yi. How many of the guards had ever been educated? Even if they knew a few words, they had never read the law.

"Your Excellency, even if we are guilty, you must give us a chance to atone for our sins."

Xu Yi said loudly.

"A chance to atone for your sins? Haha, tell me, how do you want to atone for your sins?"

Magistrate Zheng smiled.

"We are willing to redeem the sentence."

"Atonement? I do not agree to your atoning for your sentence because I believe you will not repent."

Magistrate Zheng shook his head and said playfully, the law is the law, the county magistrate is the county magistrate, and in the county, the county magistrate is the biggest, even bigger than the emperor.

"Then Mr. Ming, take a look at this."

As Xu Yi spoke, he took out something and threw it to County Magistrate Zheng.
