Shangguan Yi smiled, "Emperor Xia, you are wrong. The bandits were not the main point of my report. The bandits who robbed Babu Village were not real bandits. Now that the Xia Continent is under control and Emperor Xia is patrolling the area, there are very few bandits around. These bandits were in fact arranged by the villager of Babu Village. He purposely did this for two purposes. Firstly, to kill Zhen Youde's family. Secondly, to rob the villagers of their wealth. This is what a bandit is … "
Lui Dayou's cheeks twitched as he felt awkward. He did not expect this to happen.
He was slapped in the face.
Lui Dayou was thick-skinned. As a swindler, he was not embarrassed at all. Hence, when he heard what Shangguan Yi said, he interrupted Shangguan Yi and said, "Shangguan Yi, this matter should be dealt with easily. The villager of Babu Village killed and robbed. He deserves to die. Such a person must be punished severely. I will immediately issue an order to the county magistrate to deal with this matter. "
The people around nodded.
They agreed with Lui Dayou's decision because they felt that this matter must be dealt with.
Shangguan Yi smiled and said calmly, "Emperor Xia, please listen to what I have to say. I have mentioned the villager's problem but in fact, I have not finished. This matter has nothing to do with the villager. "
Lui Dayou asked, "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Yee continued, "Because the Muramasa's family involved in the case have all been killed. The news of the villager slaughtering Zhen Youde's family and robbing their wealth was leaked to a group of wanderers. There were six of them and all of them were chivalrous people. When they heard the news, they brought people to Babu Village and killed the villager's family. After the news spread, the six of them were arrested by the authorities and were about to be executed. Emperor Xia, please make a decision on this matter. "
The people around looked at Lui Dayou. Some of the more knowledgeable ones looked at Shangguan Yi. Especially those who were familiar with the situation in Na Zhi County.
Babu Village did not exist.
He had never heard of the so-called Muramasa killing people. This was because Na Zhi County was neither big nor small. However, to some of the village elders, Li Zheng, and the others, they were more familiar with the situation, but they had never heard of it before.
However, everyone was looking at Emperor Xia, Lu Dayou.
Waiting for Emperor Xia to make a decision.
Lui Dafeng is thick-skinned, and he is not embarrassed. He laughed. "Shangguan Feng, your question is too simple. The Muramasa hired people to kill people, so he deserved to be killed. As for the Rangers, they did a good job. They were chivalrous and righteous, so it was only right for them to kill. Therefore, this prince will order the county magistrate to release them. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Emperor Xia, if things were that simple, I wouldn't feel so troubled and uneasy. According to Emperor Xia's punishment, he believed that the Wanderers did not need to be responsible for killing people, but it involved the common people! The Muramasa deserved to die. If he had only killed the Muramasa, it would have been fine. The problem was that all 65 members of the Muramasa's family were killed. Many of them were innocent. If they were killed, it would be a wrongful death. "
The surrounding people heard and nodded.
The Muramasa deserved to die.
However, the Muramasa's family members did not deserve to die.
Lui Dafeng listened to Shangguan Yi and thought about it carefully. However, he still did not doubt Shangguan Yi's intention. He raised his head and waved his sleeves. "Shangguan Feng, you are right. The Wanderers killed the innocent, so they deserved to die. Don't worry, this king will arrange for someone to pass down the order to the county magistrate of Na County to execute these wanderers as a warning to others. "
Shangguan Yee saw that Lü Dayou was completely led by the nose by him and felt amused. He continued, "Emperor Xia, even if these Wanderers were guilty, they were doing it out of benevolence. They were helping out when they saw injustice. If we kill them directly, it will chill the hearts of the people. It will chill the hearts of the benevolent and righteous people. "
"This, this …"
Lui Dafeng was confused.
He felt that the situation was complicated and did not know how to handle it.
Lui Dafeng looked around and suddenly said, "Shangguan Feng, how do you think we should handle this?"
Shangguan Yi said, "Emperor Xia, I am just a commoner and I do not know how to handle this. If I knew how to handle this, I would not feel so bad after hearing about it. It is because I do not know how to handle this that I feel troubled. "
Lui Dafeng heard and said, "Fine, I will handle this. However, I will not handle it now. I will personally go to Na County to handle this. "
He did not know what to do, so he put it aside for now. After leaving Mingqiu Mountain, he would not care about Babu Village. He wanted to continue to cheat and earn money.
Shangguan Yi said, "If that is the case, I have nothing else to do."
He turned around and left.
Many villagers looked at Lui Dafeng, especially those with status. They started to feel suspicious.
Who was Du Qi?
He was Ping Xi Wang of the Tang Dynasty and the current Emperor Xia. He was also the founder of Xia Xia. He was talented and knowledgeable. If such a matter was placed in front of Du Qi, it should be easy for him to handle it. However, he did not handle it and put it aside. Therefore, many people felt that it was weird. If Du Qi was the one handling it, it would be impossible for him to not handle it properly.
After Shangguan Yi left, he walked to Du Qi and said, "Master, this fake Emperor Xia is not talented at all. He does not even know how to handle such a small case. He is too bad. "
Du Qi said, "He is just an idiot. Let's wait and see."
For now, Du Qi did not go forward. He wanted to see what would happen.
Lui Dafeng was troubled by Shangguan Yi and his heart sank. Therefore, he simply asked if there was anyone else who wanted to ask. Seeing that no one spoke, he immediately changed the topic and said, "Since there is no injustice to be redressed, there is nothing to be said. Then, I will talk about the second matter. "
"Speaking of which, the second matter is that I need your help. I hope that you can lend me a helping hand."
"Now that Xia Xia and the Tang Dynasty are at war, we have used up a lot of money and food. The government is in a difficult situation. Now, I have no choice but to ask for your generosity to sponsor some money so that the government can operate normally and so that Xia Xia can continue to fight against the Tang Dynasty. "
Lui Dayou said, "Fellow villagers, please extend a helping hand. Please don't be stingy."
In the end, Lui Dafeng revealed his fox tail.
That was his purpose.
He took advantage of the war between the Tang Dynasty and Xia Xia to solicit donations from the people so that he could get more money from Mingqiu Mountain for his own expenses. When the people heard Lui Dafeng's words, many of them started to discuss. There were also some people who were pondering. Everyone knew that Xia Xia was rich, especially Emperor Xia who had countless businesses and earned a lot of money every day.
Now, he took the initiative to solicit donations from the people. Therefore, many people felt that it was strange.
