After the eldest princess was reborn, she was forced to bind the power system

Chapter 112 Law Field

Along the way, people died of hunger all over the place. Some victims fought for a bite to eat and almost even risked their lives.

Some people grab something and stuff it into their mouths regardless of whether it is covered with sand. Others grab it and quickly feed it to their wives and mothers nearby, but they can only swallow their saliva and drink as much as they can when they are hungry.

Water, because this will give you the coveted feeling of fullness.

The closer we get to the territory of Minghe Mansion, the more serious the situation becomes.

Xia Chengyun and Fuling had never seen such a terrifying scene before, and they were frightened along the way.

"Sister, the natural disaster is so terrible. Why don't they even have any food? Don't the local officials care about these situations?"

"Those who are willing to take care of it probably won't be able to take care of it now."

Xia Hanyu's eyes were deep and his expression was cold.

Since the system asked her to rescue her, it meant that the other party should be able to persist until their arrival.

"Drive~"

The group of people almost worked hard, and the journey that was supposed to take three days arrived in two days.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they felt something was wrong.

Taiping County is really too quiet, as quiet as an empty city. Even the officers and soldiers guarding the city seem listless. Almost all the houses in the city have been flooded and look shabby. Some even have only their outer skeletons left.

, or it was directly washed away and only one corner was left, which shows that it is serious.

Xia Hanyu and Xia Ji looked at each other and quickly entered the city towards Caishikou.

From a distance, I could see a sea of ​​people there. Almost the entire Taiping County and the victims of the disaster from outside were here. Everyone was kneeling there, shouting that they were wronged, as if someone could really make the decision for them.

"It looks like we have to dismount first."

The front was blocked by a sea of ​​people, and they couldn't get in on horseback.

And judging from their appearance, Ban Zheng must not have been executed yet.

Everyone nodded and got off their horses.

Xia Chengyun subconsciously held Xia Hanyu's hand, "Sister, what are they doing?"

He didn't understand why there were so many people calling for injustice. Are they calling for injustice for themselves?

Xia Hanyu: "They are calling for injustice for our loyal ministers and upright officials in Great Xia."

"Let's go."

She held his hand, and the group walked inside, almost squeezing their way to the execution place. They saw a middle-aged man wearing a prison uniform being pressed on the execution platform, and behind him stood a man dressed in ruthless clothes.

The executioner was angry, and a high-ranking official sat behind the execution platform, looking indifferently at the people below who were begging for mercy.

"My lord, this is unjust! Although we sir are good at opening the court's reserve granary, it is really because there are too many victims. I would like to ask the magistrate to take a closer look and be more liberal!"

"Besides, our Lord has already written to Your Majesty before opening the position. We hope that Your Majesty will give you a few more days of grace. Wait, wait, and wait!"

Yang Hong knelt there and kowtowed heavily.

He had known that adults would be like this when they opened a granary, but Taiping County really couldn't hold on at that time!

However, after hearing his words, the prefect on the high platform remained unmoved and his tone was indifferent.

"Taiping County Magistrate Ban Zheng opened the imperial court's grain reserve without authorization. He knowingly violated the imperial order. He is disobeying the Holy Order. He is guilty of an unpardonable crime and shall be sentenced to death!"

After the man finished speaking, he looked up at the sky.

"The time has come for execution!"

The command arrow in his hand was suddenly thrown out, and the prisoner was executed.

Xia Chengyun was immediately anxious and took two steps forward, but was kept being pulled by Xia Hanyu.

He immediately jumped to his feet, "Sister, didn't you say that he is a loyal minister and an upright official? Shouldn't we just watch and not save him?"

Before Xia Hanyu could speak, he saw the people who were kneeling on the ground suddenly rushed to the execution platform, guarding the Taiping County Magistrate Ban Zheng in the middle and not allowing the executioner to get closer.

"Master Magistrate, Master Ban is unjust, please show mercy~"

"Sir, we are protecting you, please run away."

If you run away, you won't die, and you will have a chance to redress your injustice later!

"you!"

Ban Zheng's eyes were sour, his breathing was heavy, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Why do you need to do this?"

He obviously didn't do much, so why should they treat him like this and risk themselves for his life!

"Go down quickly. This means that I have disobeyed the imperial edict. It is natural for the prefect to kill me."

He had already made preparations for today when he opened the warehouse to store grain.

However, no matter how much he tried to persuade the people, they still did not retreat at all.

Xia Chengyun's eyes widened immediately.

"Is there really an official in this world that the people can protect like this?"

Xia Hanyu was also shocked in her heart, "There are corrupt and evil officials like Zhang Hua in this world, so naturally there are upright and honest officials like Ban Zheng."

"It's just that in today's troubled times where corrupt officials are everywhere, there are very few such officials, and they are very valuable."

Although it is indeed a criminal to deceive the emperor by secretly opening the imperial reserve granary, under the current disaster, it is excusable and the crime is not punishable by death. Even if the father knew about it, he would not blame him too much, and might even reward him; and this prefect

But she was so anxious to kill him, there must be some other hidden reason.

"Xia Ji."

"only."

Xia Ji nodded, but before he could make any move, he saw a series of archers suddenly running out of the surroundings, immediately surrounding them.

The cold arrows were aimed at these innocent people. On their faces, they were scared, but they subconsciously surrounded Ban Zheng in circles.

"Master Ban, we will protect you!"

The prefect warned coldly, "If you don't get off the execution platform unconsciously, don't blame me for executing you as accomplices!"

Hearing this, Xia Hanyu's face immediately turned cold.

"presumptuous!"

"When are the arrows of my Daxia aimed at the innocent people of my Daxia? You, the prefect, are so majestic!"

The clear voice was full of coldness, and Xia Hanyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Who dares to break into the execution ground!"

The prefect had noticed this sudden appearance of a group of people just now and was wary.

The next moment, Xia Ji suddenly pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and in an instant, it inserted into the prefect's desk with a "crack" sound. He was so frightened that he rolled down from the chair, and finally got up.

His eyes fell on the sharp and bloodthirsty hilt, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Xiu Chun Dao, Jin Yiwei!"

Those people were actually from Beizhen Fusi!

He quickly picked up his hat and ran down from his seat. He ran to them respectfully and bent down.

"I don't know if it's some adults from Beizhen Fusi who are coming to visit me. Some of my subordinates will welcome you from a distance, and some may not welcome you from afar!"

The official rank of Jinyiwei is indeed not as good as that of the prefect, but who makes them close ministers of the emperor and the sharpest sword in the hand of the emperor...

Even the officials who went to Beijing did not dare to provoke them at will, let alone the officials outside who did not even have the courage to resist.

The cold sweat on the prefect's forehead could hardly stop falling, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

His eyes turned around and finally stopped on Xia Jishi.

"I wonder what I should call this lord?"

As long as the evil Yama Luo Xiaji doesn't appear in person, there will be a chance for improvement in today's matter.
