Chapter 20 You Call This "Waste"?
After the battle with the horse thieves, Qin Ming handed over the captured horse thieves to County Magistrate Zhou.
Qin Ming would naturally not bring these horse thieves with him.
If he was not afraid of the bad influence, Qin Ming would have ordered Pei Zhi to kill all these horse thieves!
County Magistrate Zhou took it respectfully and quickly ordered people to lock up these horse thieves.
Just as Qin Ming led the Qingjia Army and others to leave the city.
But they encountered an accident again.
But this time, they did not encounter horse thieves, but people in the city who came to see them off!
It turned out that when Qin Ming led his army to fight the horse thieves.
The news had spread quickly in the town!
The people in the city had suffered from the looting of these horse thieves for a long time. At this time, they heard that there was actually a prince who came to fight against the horse thieves!
This made them very excited.
After Qin Ming's battle with the horse thieves was over, they also hurried to meet him.
After seeing Qin Ming, the leader, many people showed gratitude and tears in their eyes.
"Your Highness is great! These horse thieves have robbed our people a lot on weekdays. Our life is really miserable..."
"Fortunately, Your Highness took action and caught these bastards in one fell swoop! It's really gratifying!"
"Quick, pay your respects to Your Highness! Your Highness is doing justice for the heavens and eliminating harm for the name. I have nothing to repay you, but I have a little bit of gratitude..."
Qin Ming looked at these people who were blocked by the Qingjia Army, and his eyes were a little turbulent.
These people in the city did not seem to be rich, and the gratitude they mentioned was just some food and dry food.
Maybe the value is not high, but it is also what Qin Ming can use at this time!
Qin Ming did not refuse and accepted it all.
Until he left here, Qin Ming did not come back to his senses for a long time in the carriage.
Seeing these people with his own eyes, Qin Ming's heart was full of mixed emotions.
The Great Yan Dynasty is vast, but not everyone can live a life of having enough food.
He saw many people, who were so hungry that their faces were pale and their clothes were thin.
But they did not show any dissatisfaction with him as a prince.
Their eyes were full of respect.
Respect for his encirclement and suppression of horse thieves, and gratitude for his eradication of bandits.
From their eyes, Qin Ming seemed to see the simple and kind people countless years later.
Qin Ming opened the curtain of the carriage and watched the town go away, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He was not a competitive person, aimless and easy-going.
But after living this life again, before the crisis of life and death, Qin Ming had no choice!
In order to survive, he could only continue to develop and strengthen himself!
And today, he may have a new goal.
Just a simple claim to be king and emperor?
Qin Ming looked down on it!
If you want to do it, be the emperor of all ages!
He wants everyone in this world to be well fed and clothed!
He wants justice to be not late and absent in this world!
Even if he dies, he will leave the most vivid and colorful strokes in the long river of history!
Qin Ming believed that this day would not be far away!
The carriage carrying Qin Ming gradually went away, heading towards Lingnan.
......
Qin Ming left the town within a few hours.
The town soon welcomed new guests.
Just one look, the guards at the city gate were overjoyed.
He quickly notified his own county magistrate.
County Magistrate Zhou hurried to the city gate, and after seeing the visitor, his face was immediately full of smiles.
"Captain Yang? You are finally here!"
The visitor glanced at him and just nodded.
"Captain Yang, the last time we met was at the banquet of the prefect, your subordinate..."
County Magistrate Zhou greeted with a smile, but did not get a good look from the other party.
Yang Zhi did not say anything, looking at County Magistrate Zhou with some disgust.
He knew County Magistrate Zhou and knew some of this guy's dirty deeds.
If it weren't for the serious business of this trip, he would not bother to care about County Magistrate Zhou in front of him.
"Zhou County Magistrate, let's talk business!"
He said directly.
"The governor learned about your situation here and felt that the people were in dire straits. He sent me here to wipe out the horse thieves here."
Yang Zhi came here for the horse thieves!
Zhou County Magistrate took a look at the hundreds of Yan soldiers behind him and suddenly realized.
It turned out that they came for those horse thieves!
It was a pity that it was too late. Those blind horse thieves had already run into Qin Ming's gun.
The dead died, the wounded were injured, and the horse thieves who survived by chance were all imprisoned by him.
"This..."
Zhou County Magistrate was about to speak truthfully, but after thinking about it, he was in trouble again.
I went to the governor several times before asking for reinforcements.
Now Captain Yang came with reinforcements, but I have to tell him that the horse thieves are gone?
Isn't this deliberately making fun of him? !
Captain Yang also noticed Magistrate Zhou's hesitation at this time.
His face became more and more dissatisfied.
He had brought people here personally, but this guy was still hesitant. Could it be that this horse thief was also made up?
"Magistrate Zhou, this horse thief thing can't be your nonsense, right?"
"The prefect attaches so much importance to it, but you make up some unreal things. I think your term as county magistrate is over!"
Under Captain Yang's undisguised threat, Magistrate Zhou finally got anxious.
"Captain Yang, this is not my fault!"
"The horse thieves... What I said was indeed correct! It's just that a prince came in front and took care of all these horse thieves!"
Captain Yang looked at him with an expression that looked like a fool.
"Magistrate Zhou, are you afraid that you are crazy? How could a prince come to our place?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, they are all in the capital!"
"His Second Highness has been guarding the border for many years, and it can't be him!"
Magistrate Zhou shook his head repeatedly.
"It's not those princes, it's the Sixth Prince!"
Captain Yang was stunned for a second.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and a weird smile that couldn't be suppressed appeared on his face.
"Sixth Prince? You mean that useless Sixth Prince?"
"Hahahahaha... Magistrate Zhou, are you looking for fun at the expense of Captain Zhou?"
Captain Yang chuckled, his tone cold.
"Not to mention, the sixth prince who attempted to murder the seventh princess in the palace has been exiled to Lingnan by His Majesty!"
"how come......"
Magistrate Zhou's eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning.
"The Sixth Prince...is it him?!"
He had never met the prince before, and it was only now that he finally understood.
It turns out that Qin Ming is the sixth prince!
At first, when Pei Zhi revealed the identity of the sixth prince, he had not yet reacted.
At this time, under Captain Yang's sarcasm, Magistrate Zhou suddenly recalled.
Isn't His Highness the Sixth Prince known as the most "wasted" prince in the capital? !
But was the "Sixth Prince" he encountered really like the legend? !
He eliminated hundreds of horse thieves in such an understatement!
Do you call such a prince a "waste" prince? !
Everyone in Zhou County was dumbfounded.
