Chapter 513 Punishing Corrupt Officials
Chai Qin never thought that his daughter would be arrested, and the people who arrested her seemed to be King Beichen's men.
How is this going? !
Somehow, Chai Qin had a bad feeling.
"Mom, quickly arrest these spies!"
"Look at what they did to your daughter. You must not let them go!"
Chai Qin was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
"You bastard... who gave you the guts to slander the prince?"
"Kneel down quickly!"
Before her daughter could react, she fell to her knees in panic and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have not taught you well. Please forgive my daughter's words for my years of hard work. I will be grateful."
"…Prince…Prince?"
Chai Jinrong was stunned when he heard what his mother said. His face turned pale instantly and he looked at Di Ran in disbelief.
"Mother, what are you talking about? How could she be a prince? Are you confused?"
"Shut up!"
Chai Qin raised his head and glared at her fiercely: "Why don't you apologize to the prince now!"
Chai Jinrong seemed very unconvinced. Di Ran glanced at him slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What a good daughter County Magistrate Chai has raised."
"Not only did she slander me as a spy in public, she also insulted my husband as a playboy, and even wanted him to be her servant. She is really good."
"This this……"
Chai Qin only felt that his eyes were getting darker and the road ahead was dark.
His old face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was shaking like a sieve. The official uniform on his back was soaked with sweat, and he didn't dare to breathe.
She never thought that her daughter would be so bold that she even dared to provoke King Beichen. She was so audacious!
Thinking about the character of King Beichen, Chai Qin felt that his future was dark and his whole body was a little shaky.
However, before she could react, an account book and a stack of papers were thrown in her face, and a cold voice like the King of Hell judged her crimes.
"Chai Qin, these are all evidences of your corruption, abuse of power, and disregard for human life in Zhoushan County over the years. They list dozens of crimes such as your collusion with merchants and the Black Wind Village bandits to commit crimes, seize people's homes, occupy ancestral property, and even impose taxes privately. Do you know your guilt?"
"I am innocent!" Chai Qin was stunned by a series of charges. When he came to his senses, he was so scared that he cried out for innocence without thinking, and he didn't even have time to look at the evidence.
"Oh, you still dare to cry out for injustice?"
"The evidence is right in front of you and you still don't dare to admit it?!"
Di Ran sneered and fixed his sharp gaze on Chai Qin, making his heart tremble.
"You are an official who is the father and mother of the people, but you are so partial and unjust, and treat human life as worthless. Whose power do you rely on? Who gave you the courage? "
"Xia...xiaoguan..."
"From today on, the Magistrate of Chaiqin County will be dismissed. All the criminals on the list who have committed serious crimes will be arrested and reported to the Ministry of Justice for execution on a chosen day. The rest will be exiled to the border!"
As soon as Emperor Ran's decree came down, Chai Qin's face turned pale instantly and he fell to the ground.
Finished!
It's all over!
……
"Ayue, it's great to have you!"
Ji Yunxie walked on the street holding Di Ran's arm, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Di Ran held his hand and said, "You are my husband, if I don't protect you, who should I protect?"
As he spoke, Di Ran's face became slightly serious. He held Ji Yunxie's hand slightly tighter, stared at him deeply, and spoke softly.
"Axie, remember, you are the one I cherish the most. No one can hurt you, and you can't let yourself get hurt. Do you understand?"
Meeting that pair of tender and affectionate eyes, Ji Yunxie was slightly startled. He stretched out his arms to hug Di Ran and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
"I will."
"Ayue, don't let yourself get hurt, okay?"
Di Ran's eyes softened and he hummed lightly.
