Chapter 215 Doesn’t that damned official know you?
However, this group of people did not show fear as County Magistrate Liu had expected. On the contrary, each of them stared at him with anger.
The fierce look on his face seemed as if he wanted to eat County Magistrate Liu alive, and he wished he could cut him into pieces immediately.
Seeing this scene, County Magistrate Liu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He suddenly put his hands on his waist, and then pointed a finger viciously at the people.
He opened his mouth and began to curse: "Well! You ignorant people, you dare to openly oppose me? Do you really think I won't order you to be killed on the spot?"
At this moment, a roar suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Hmph! Stop trying to scare us here. If you have the guts, just try it. I'm afraid you should be the one worrying about your own safety!
Maybe we haven't died yet, but you've already met with disaster!"
Then, someone else echoed, "That's right! Now we won't be afraid of you anymore, because King Yunxin will come and save us from this dire situation. Today is the day your doomsday arrives!"
"You are a conscienceless official who has cruelly harmed the people. God will definitely punish you accordingly. I will stand right here and watch your retribution come to you!"
For a moment, all kinds of shouts and curses rose one after another in the crowd. Everyone spoke one after another, denouncing the various crimes of County Magistrate Liu mercilessly.
When County Magistrate Liu heard this, an uncontrollable anger suddenly surged on his face. He widened his eyes and stared at the people in front of him, as if his eyes were about to spit fire.
However, what was unexpected was that the next moment he suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter was deafening and echoed throughout the county government office.
"Hahahaha...you ignorant fools, you really have unrealistic dreams! You actually expect King Yunxin to come and save you?
"Humph! That's just wishful thinking! If the court really sent someone here, how could this county magistrate not know about it?" County Magistrate Liu said with disdain.
At this moment, a courageous villager stepped forward from the crowd, looked directly at County Magistrate Liu without fear, and shouted back, "You damned official, how could you know this?
Over the years, have you ever really cared about the lives of ordinary people like us?
Ever since you came to our county, you've only been exploiting the people and oppressing them. Have you ever cared about our survival?"
As soon as the villager finished speaking, the other villagers echoed him, "That's right, well said! This natural disaster might have been caused by your excessive greed. It's God's punishment for you."
But instead of reflecting on your own sins, you shift all the blame onto us innocent people. This is really too much!"
For a time, the public was outraged, and people's dissatisfaction with County Magistrate Liu erupted like a volcano.
County Magistrate Liu's eyes suddenly widened to the size of copper bells, and his eyeballs were filled with scarlet bloodshot, as if they were about to burst from his eye sockets.
His face was hideous and distorted, and he exuded a creepy aura, as terrifying as a demon crawling out from the depths of hell.
He roared viciously: "You ignorant people are courting death!
To tell you the truth, even if they are sent by the imperial court, what does it matter?
You guys have been infected with the plague. The reason I have locked you all up here is simply because I don't want you to have any contact with the outside world, so that innocent people outside won't be infected.
By doing this, I am abandoning the people of an entire county, but in return I can save the entire Muyun Kingdom!
Humph, after this is accomplished, perhaps the current emperor will reward me handsomely! Hahahaha..."
A burst of wild laughter echoed all around, making people's scalps tingle.
After laughing, County Magistrate Liu's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly and said, "If you, a bunch of lowly civilians, would just go back to the purgatory obediently now, I might be magnanimous and not pursue your previous mistakes.
Otherwise, what awaits you will be a tragic end a hundred times or a thousand times more horrible than death!"
At this moment, Ye Xiaotuan, who was tightly held in Yun Muheng's arms, blinked her big, watery eyes, looked up at Yun Muheng with a puzzled look, and asked softly, "Doesn't that damned official know you?"
"We must be strangers. When I left Muyang County, he hadn't yet taken up his official position here."
Yun Muheng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were as cold as stars as he stared at County Magistrate Liu, as if he wanted to see through him.
Just at this moment, a group of yamen runners rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing this, County Magistrate Liu became even more fearless. He was already arrogant, but now he straightened his back, raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes wide, and stared fiercely at the group of people in front of him.
His face was twisted into a hideous, ferocious expression due to anger, and he roared, "Hmph! Back then, I gave you a chance to choose, but you didn't know what was good for you. Now, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. I'll send you to hell!"
After saying this, County Magistrate Liu waved his hand casually at the yamen runners behind him without hesitation and issued a cold and ruthless order: "Go! Kill them all, and leave no one alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the yamen runners all had ferocious looks on their faces, weapons in their hands, and stepped forward aggressively.
When the group of innocent people saw this scene, they were all frightened and pale in an instant. Their eyes were full of fear and they involuntarily moved towards where Yun Muheng was.
At the same time, the loyal guards stepped forward without hesitation, quickly moved in front of Yun Muheng, and protected him behind them.
They looked solemn, focused, and ready to fight a life-and-death battle with the enemy at the first command.
Just when the group of ferocious yamen runners were only a few steps away from Yun Muheng,
Yun Muheng walked to the front without changing his expression or heartbeat.
At this moment, an extremely cold light suddenly burst out from Yun Muheng's eyes and shot straight at County Magistrate Liu in front of him.
Then, he was heard shouting in an extremely stern and authoritative tone: "County Magistrate Liu, you are so audacious!
How dare you so wantonly oppress these innocent and kind people? Aren't you afraid of retribution? "
County Magistrate Liu was caught off guard and frightened by the terrifyingly powerful aura emanating from Yun Muheng. He suddenly shuddered and shivered involuntarily.
He secretly wondered who the person in front of him was and how he dared to accuse him in public.
After much hesitation, he finally mustered up the courage and cautiously asked, "Who exactly are you, Excellency? Why are you meddling in my affairs?"
However, before Yun Muheng could reply, a voice filled with contempt and disdain rang out from the crowd: "Hmph! Open your eyes and take a good look. This is the famous Prince Yun Xin!"
