Chapter 262 Weng Yanguo in Gentle Village
Wen Boyuan and Lei Ming burst into the dark, damp and cold prison like a strong wind, and the iron armor collided with each other, making a "crash" sound that echoed in this dead space.
The candlelight in the prison flickered, adding a bit of eerieness to this gloomy place.
The prisoners were in ragged clothes and looked disheveled. They raised their heads one by one and looked at the sudden team with fear and curiosity.
Zhao Yingluo raised her head, with a pair of bright and determined eyes under her messy hair. Seeing Wen Boyuan and Lei Ming, a smile appeared on her tired face, "You are here."
A trace of anger flashed in Lei Ming's eyes. He knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, my subordinate is late, so you will suffer!"
At this time, the surrounding prisoners also saw this scene clearly. Their eyes widened in shock and they could not believe what they saw.
"Then...that gentleman is actually Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Oh my God! We are actually locked up with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The prisoners started talking one after another, with expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
Among them, the middle-aged man who asked for relief money yesterday struggled to kneel down in front of Zhao Yingluo and said excitedly: "Your Highness the Princess! The villain is unjust! Please make the decision for the villain!"
Zhao Yingluo looked at this man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, "You stand up and speak. As long as I can do it, I will uphold justice for you."
The man kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!"
Other prisoners also followed suit. They knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Princess Chitose! Chitose! Chitose! Princess Chitose!"
The sound echoed in the prison and was shocking.
Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath, stood up, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Don't worry, all of you! I swear here that I will severely punish corrupt officials and give everyone justice! But before that, I need your help Help and confidentiality. Can you do it?"
"Yes!" the prisoners replied in unison.
After walking out of the dark, damp prison, the sun shone through the sparse clouds, adding a bit of warmth to this chilling place.
Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath of fresh air.
Wen Boyuan followed closely and said, "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Zhao Yingluo turned around, her eyes swept across Wen Boyuan's face, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Boyuan, you must quickly go to Pingjiang Prefecture and capture the prefect Weng Yanguo and his subordinate county magistrates. This trip must be kept secret and no news can be leaked."
Wen Boyuan nodded in agreement, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that Wen Boyuan will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Zhao Yingluo nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Lei Ming and said, "Lei Ming, you stay here and interrogate Fan Jian strictly. We must make him confess all his crimes and seek justice for the innocent victims."
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, Lei Ming will definitely make Fan Jian confess truthfully!"
Afterwards, Zhao Yingluo and Wen Boyuan led hundreds of elites and galloped all the way to Pingjiang Mansion, fifty miles away. The night was getting darker, but their actions were extremely fast and orderly, as if an unstoppable force wanted to sweep away this darkness and corruption.
At this moment, Weng Yanguo, the prefect of Pingjiang, was still immersed in the gentle countryside of the brothel.
His face was shiny, his eyes were drunk and he was hugging two brothel girls on the left and right, and he let out wanton laughter from time to time.
The two brothel girls also wore heavy makeup and coquettishly flattered Weng Yanguo, as if he was the most amazing man in the world. "Master Weng, you are truly our benefactor!" A brothel girl said delicately, "It is really a blessing for us sisters to have your favor."
Weng Yanguo laughed proudly. He hugged the woman who was speaking and said with a lewd smile: "As long as you serve me well, I will not treat you badly."
At this moment, a sudden knock on the door broke the obscene atmosphere in the warm tent.
Weng Yanguo's expression suddenly changed. He pushed the woman beside him away and shouted angrily: "Who is so bold and dares to disturb my good deeds!"
A hurried voice came from outside the door: "Sir, it's not good! Her Royal Highness the Princess and Wen Boyuan have entered the city with a large group of people!"
Weng Yanguo was shocked when he heard this, and he was sober in an instant.
He hurriedly jumped out of bed and asked in a trembling voice while putting on his clothes: "What did you say? Her Royal Highness the Princess and Wen Boyuan are here? How many troops did they bring with them?"
"Sir, they brought hundreds of elites with them. It seems they are coming with bad intentions!" The voice outside the door became more urgent.
Weng Yanguo was frightened to death at this moment. He knew that his crime had been exposed, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and Wen Boyuan must have come here to punish him.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and stumbled out of the brothel. He saw that the streets were already ablaze and filled with people.
Her Royal Highness the Princess and Wen Boyuan have arrived outside the brothel with a large group of people.
The night was dark, but the streets of Pingjiang Mansion were brightly lit with fire. Hundreds of elite soldiers, led by Wen Boyuan, quickly and orderly surrounded a brothel.
This brothel is quite famous in Pingjiang Mansion, and dignitaries often come here to have fun, and tonight, it will become an important battlefield for Zhao Yingluo to take down the corrupt official Weng Yanguo.
The door of the brothel was violently pushed open, and a madam with a face full of makeup and a brocade dress came up in a panic.
When she saw Wen Boyuan and others dressed in military uniforms, rushing in menacingly, she hurriedly blocked their way and asked sharply: "Who are you? You dare to break into our brothel. Do you know where this place is?"
Wen Boyuan pushed the madam away and shouted in a cold voice: "We are here to fetch people. If you are sensible, get out of my way!"
Then, he turned around and respectfully invited Zhao Yingluo to enter the building. Zhao Yingluo's expression was stern and her eyes were as bright as fire. She glanced at the panicked madam and everyone in the brothel, and strode in.
At this time, Weng Yanguo came down from upstairs in disheveled clothes.
When he saw Zhao Yingluo, Wen Boyuan and others, he suddenly trembled with fright. He hurriedly straightened his messy clothes, knelt down in front of Zhao Yingluo, and saluted with a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the princess is a thousand years old! I didn’t know that Her Royal Highness arrived, but I was a little disappointed in welcoming you. I hope that Your Highness will forgive me!”
Zhao Yingluo pulled up a chair and sat down. She looked down at Weng Yanguo who was kneeling on the ground, with a sneer on her face.
She asked sternly: "Weng Yanguo, do you know your guilt?"
Weng Yanguo's heart trembled, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
He knew that his crime had been exposed, but at this moment, facing the question from Her Highness the Princess, he still wanted to make a quibble.
He said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the official has been serving the court loyally. I wonder what your Highness means by what you said?"
Zhao Yingluo sneered, slammed the table and shouted: "Weng Yanguo, you still dare to quibble! You bully the people, take bribes and commit all kinds of evil! Do you think your crimes can be hidden from my eyes?"
