[Option 3000: Leave Shanchuan County, return to Xianyang to return to life, and get a reward: [-] taels of silver! 】
"Seventh Young Master, I swear on my life that everything I said is true!"
"When my mother was killed before, I hid and clearly heard that those bandits were in collusion with those county officials!" The young man said excitedly, for fear that Ying Ziqing would not believe him.
"Yes." Ying Ziqing replied indifferently.
Seeing Ying Ziqing's indifference, the young man was startled and burst into tears, "Seventh Young Master, what I said is true."
Ying Ziqing sighed and said slowly after a while, "I believe in you."
Even if he doesn't believe it, the system has already given the answer, so he can't help but not believe it.
The boy was taken aback: "Then why do you still..."
"Because of my identity." Ying Ziqing said quietly.
Sanchuan County, as one of the nearest counties to Xianyang, has such collusion between officials and bandits.
He, Ying Ziqing, is the son of Daqin, so how could he feel better in his heart.
Hearing this, no matter how stupid the young man was, he knew what Ying Ziqing meant.
"I'm sorry." The boy said.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Ying Ziqing's voice sounded immediately.
"There is no need to apologize, it should be me who should apologize."
"As the Great Qin imperial family, it is my fault that I failed to maintain the peace of the county under my command." Ying Ziqing said.
Although this matter was out of his control, Ying Ziqing still chose to shoulder all the responsibilities.
Not because of anything else, just because he is the prince!
Now that he has recognized the status of the prince!
Then.
If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight!
"Seventh Young Master..." Looking at Ying Ziqing in front of him, the young man choked up.
He didn't expect that the dignified Prince Qin would be able to do this.
For such a trivial matter, I came to apologize to his fellow commoner.
moment.
Ying Ziqing's figure suddenly became taller in the young man's heart.
The young man got off the carriage sincerely, and in full view of everyone, he kowtowed three times to Ying Ziqing.
"Thank you, Seventh Young Master, for your kindness!"
"Get up, I'll figure it out." Ying Ziqing said calmly.
The people around looked dumbfounded.
"What happened, why did he kneel down again?"
"I don't know, it seems that he really said something important to the Seventh Young Master."
"Could it be that there are bandits that haven't been eliminated?"
"Impossible, didn't the seventh son say to kill them all?"
"That is to say, what if there were bandits who were not in the cottage at that time?"
"It seems that this is really possible."
"If that's the case, what should we do? It's impossible for Seventh Young Master to stay in Sanchuan County forever."
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and after a while, a voice rang out from the crowd.
Although this voice is very light, it gives people infinite power.
"Don't worry everyone, the seventh son hasn't left yet, we can trust the seventh son with you."
"That's right, the Seventh Young Master hasn't left yet, what are we worried about?" Everyone thought to themselves, and they all looked at the Seventh Young Master's carriage.
I don't know why, but after exterminating the bandits, Ying Ziqing has become a god-like existence in their hearts.
As long as Ying Ziqing is around, they have the illusion that they will be safe no matter where they are.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts, but in Ying Ziqing's mind, a systematic voice suddenly sounded.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: All the people gather together and get the blessing of the Great Qin! 】
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained a hidden mission reward: a small supernatural power - the art of peeking into the heart! 】
Roar! ! !
When the system's voice fell, Ying Ziqing immediately felt an extremely tyrannical force enveloped him.
A huge golden dragon phantom emerged, tightly entrenched around Ying Ziqing's body, and let out a dragon's roar that pierced the sky!
See this scene.
Not only the common people, but also the dignitaries of Sanchuan County, or Zhang Han who was hiding in the dark, all knelt down.
He shouted respectfully at Ying Ziqing.
"See Seventh Young Master, see Great Qin Jinlong!!!"
After everyone's voice fell, the golden dragon phantom disappeared immediately.
It turned into a miniature little golden dragon and was engraved on the palm of Ying Ziqing's right hand.
It exudes a majestic and sacred power.
Ying Ziqing even saw a familiar aura on the little golden dragon.
It was the overbearing imperial power that belonged exclusively to his father, Qin Shihuang.
"Is this the fate of the Great Qin?" Ying Ziqing murmured, feeling deeply incredulous.
He couldn't believe that such a mysterious thing would be attached to him.
Ying Ziqing closed his eyes and meditated, and could even feel his father's aura.
"This thing is too amazing, it connects me and my father!" Ying Ziqing thought to himself.
"Get up."
After being stunned for a while, he slowly came back to his senses and looked at the people kneeling around him.
Ying Ziqing glanced at these people, and saw Zhang Han not far away with an anxious face.
"General Zhang, don't worry, father is fine." Ying Ziqing said.
He knew what Zhang Han was thinking at a glance.
The fate of the country spreads to the prince, usually there are only two possibilities.
The first is that the prince is established as the prince, and the prince and the emperor enjoy the blessing of the national fortune together.
The second is that the emperor died, and the fate of the country spread to the princes.
And Ying Ziqing is just an exception.
"Seventh Young Master, is what you said true? Is Your Majesty really okay?" Zhang Han didn't care that what His Majesty told him had been revealed, and hurried to Ying Ziqing.
Ying Ziqing nodded solemnly.
"General Zhang, don't worry, father is really fine!"
"The Great Qin National Luck Golden Dragon on me just now was just an accident!"
Seeing that Ying Ziqing was so sure, Zhang Han was completely relieved.
Apologizing to Ying Ziqing: "The humble job was found following the seventh son, and I begged the seventh son to give me a crime!"
"I know father sent you here, but let's settle the most important thing first." Ying Ziqing said.
Looking at the many officials in the surrounding Sanchuan County, a trace of coldness rose in their eyes.
"what's up?"
Before Zhang Han could speak, Ying Ziqing's aura burst out suddenly.
"My lords and gentlemen of Sanchuan County!"
"My lord, I think you should know that according to the laws of my Great Qin, colluding with the remnants of the six kingdoms and harming the people of Great Qin, this is going to be copied and executed!" Ying Ziqing said coldly.
A pair of stern eyes seemed to contain thousands of ice, which made countless officials feel terrified.
"Seventh Young Master, did that lunatic tell you something just now? This is a huge misunderstanding!"
......
Chapter 21: Spy on people's hearts, read people's hearts!!!
"Oh? Are you sure it's a misunderstanding?" Ying Ziqing said with a faint smile.
"Yes, yes, of course!"
"The officials of our Sanchuan County have always acted in accordance with the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. How could they do something like your son's heart and dog's lungs!" An official said hastily.
"That's right, Seventh Young Master, don't listen to the villain's rhetoric!" The other officials quickly echoed.
I was afraid that Ying Ziqing would cast suspicious eyes on himself and the others.
"Seventh son, this may really be a misunderstanding. I have served as the governor of Shanchuan County for many years, and I have never heard of anyone colluding with bandits."
Chang Chunzhi, the governor of Sanchuan County, also stood up, looked at Ying Ziqing and said seriously.
His eyes were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness, and it didn't look like what he said was a lie.
Listening to the conversation between Ying Ziqing and the officials, the people of Sanchuan County certainly knew what it meant.
Ever since, everyone started to talk about it.
There are praises and criticisms, doubts, and disbeliefs.
"Seventh Young Master, Chang Junshou is a good official, it is impossible for him to collude with bandits."
"I think so too. Sheriff Chang has been in office for several years, and everything he does is for the good. It can't be that kind of person!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Chang Junshou is not this kind of person, but not necessarily Captain Ma who guards the county city."
"I think so too. If real people collude with bandits, it must be this Ma Dashan. Just because he is a famous family in Sanchuan County, he is doing all kinds of evil!"
"And the manager Huang of the county mansion is not a good guy, he often uses his position to moles women from good families!"
......
Everyone talked and criticized.
Those whose names were read by the common people all looked pale.
Those whose names were not read by the common people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Chang Chunzhi, the governor of Sanchuan County, after listening to the words of the people, his face gradually became ugly.
He looked at Ying Ziqing with some embarrassment. He didn't expect that there were so many mice hidden in Sanchuan County under his own governance.
"Seventh Young Master, please forgive me. We just did some bad things on the basis of our position. The crime is not worthy of death!"
"Yeah, we just did some small crimes, and we really didn't collude with bandits. Even if we were given a hundred courage, we wouldn't dare to do that kind of outrageous thing!"
"Please forgive me, Seventh Young Master, we will definitely reform ourselves in the future and become good officials who plead for the people!"
Seeing that what they had done had been exposed, some officials simply stopped concealing it and pleaded with Ying Ziqing directly.
After all, although their actions are against the law, they are not sinful to death!
It's better to take advantage of these things to pull yourself out of the vortex of colluding with bandits first.
"The lower officials are not strict in governance, please forgive me, Seventh Young Master!"
Juncheng Chang Chunzhi looked at the people behind him, sighed helplessly, and bowed to Ying Ziqing.
"Get up, I will investigate this matter myself!"
