The imperial envoy originally disdained those untouchables. They were of low status and were not worthy of talking to him. However, in order to expose the true face of Prince Zhan, he decided to condescend to him, so he said to them...

"The emperor's people are the officers and soldiers who were imprisoned by Prince Zhan a few days ago. The prince has gone too far. He even dared to imprison the emperor's people. He simply doesn't take the emperor seriously."

When An Xi heard this, he almost laughed out loud. This idiot, the prince had no choice but to help the emperor cover up the truth of killing the people. Fortunately, he also exposed the emperor's background.

It was simply a favor to the prince.

Even if the Dog Emperor pursues the matter, it's none of the prince's business. It was his people who leaked it themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as the imperial minister finished speaking, the people got angry and cursed angrily...

"Damn it, after working on it for a long time, it turns out that the official who wanted to burn us to death is the current emperor?"

"It must be him. The county magistrate said that the army that sealed the city was sent from the capital by the mastermind. However, we never thought that the mastermind who wanted to burn us to death was actually the emperor."

"We haven't broken any laws, so why should he burn us to death?"

"It seems that they were afraid of a plague after the famine, so they simply burned us to death to save him the trouble."

"This foolish king, the dog emperor, is so inhumane. No wonder the dog official refused to open a granary to provide disaster relief. It turned out that he had planned to burn us to death, even saving food."

"If Lord Zhan hadn't saved us, we would have been burned to a pile of ashes now."

When the common people got excited, they became emboldened. They swarmed up and knocked down the imperial envoy. They punched and kicked him and beat him severely.

The screams of the imperial minister were heard in the crowd...

"Ah ah... help me... I'm hurting to death... you unscrupulous people... you are so courageous. You dare to beat the imperial official. Sooner or later, the emperor will punish you nine tribes... ah ah..."

An Xi and his cavalry guards stood aside and watched coldly. It wasn't until the common people had completely defeated the arrogance of the imperial envoy minister, but they couldn't die and still seemed to be breathing, that they pretended to come forward and drive them away...

"This is unreasonable. Do you unscrupulous people still have the imperial law? In broad daylight, you dare to beat the imperial minister in public? Do you have the imperial law in your eyes?"

"Who did this? Come forward quickly. I will severely punish you unruly people."

The people looked at each other in confusion. What did the captain of the guard mean? Why did he ask them when he was clearly watching them fight?

Isn't it unnecessary?

An Xi secretly glanced at the common people. Then, he bent down and helped the imperial envoy up from the ground with a concerned look on his face. Looking at his face that was beaten into a pig's head, he seemed very angry and turned to look at the onlookers. The people cursed and cursed...

"You bastards were too cruel to the imperial envoy. You actually beat him into such a horrible state. When the emperor saw it, he thought he was going to rebel."

At this time, the common people also realized that the captain of the guard was deliberately acting for the imperial envoy to see, so they did not say anything and just stared at the imperial envoy angrily.

The imperial envoy touched his pig-head-like face and cried out in pain: "Oh, my lord, it hurts me to death. These unruly people really deserve to die!"

"Chief Guard, you must catch the murderer and punish him severely. It is unreasonable that he dares to beat up even the imperial ministers. They just don't take the emperor seriously."

It was a good thing that he didn't mention the emperor. When he mentioned the emperor, the crowd became angry again. Remembering that they were almost burned to a pile of ashes by the Dog Emperor, the people raised their fists angrily and wanted to rush forward and beat him.

When the imperial minister saw this, he was frightened to death. He quickly hid behind An Xi and shouted in fear: "Captain of the Guard, look at this group of unruly people who have gone too far. Arrest them quickly."

Because Prince Zhan was going to distribute grain seeds to the people today, there was a huge crowd at the gate of the county government, and there were several long queues. Everyone was looking forward to taking the grain seeds back and planting them so that they would not be hungry next year.

Therefore, there were at least tens of thousands of people present.

An Xi: "Imperial Envoy, there are so many people, even if we arrest them all, the prison will not be able to accommodate them."

"Public anger is hard to offend, let's hide in the county government office as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he took the limping imperial minister and fled into the county government office in embarrassment, and asked his men to quickly close the gate of the county government office.

Until now, the imperial minister didn't know why the people beat him? He thought that these poor people were jealous of his noble status and hated the rich, so they beat him.

An Xi said that he was Lei Feng and liked to do good deeds the most, so he told the reason why the people beat him.

"Ah? What? Those officers and soldiers who were imprisoned by Prince Zhan led the county magistrate to seal Taihe County a few days ago? And they almost burned all the people in the county to death?" The imperial envoy was shocked when he heard the news.

When he came, the emperor didn't tell him about this situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant just now.

An Xi looked at him coldly, nodded, and said, "That's right, otherwise, the prince would not have imprisoned them."

The imperial envoy touched his pig-headed face and suddenly realized that he had received the beating for the emperor.

It's so fucking unfair. He didn't do anything, he just said a few words to get excited. Why did he get beaten up?
