Pang Yukun's anger made the atmosphere in Dengzhou Prefecture a little depressed.

Yang Chengye said: "The officials are also in a hurry, and the officials have also obtained evidence that these people have sheltered salt vendors."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming said: "The law does not punish the public. If it is handled so recklessly, it is only a matter of chaos in the people. At that time..."

Before he finished speaking, a constable suddenly ran in panic and shouted: "Governor Fang, no, a large number of people gathered in the downtown area in front of the Dengzhou prison and were going to rush into the cell to ask for people."

"What!" Yang Chengye was surprised. He looked at Xiao Ming. This really fulfilled Xiao Ming's words.

Pang Yukun pointed at Yang Chengye and said with a grudge: "You, you have caused a big disaster."

Frowning, Xiao Ming stood up and said, "Don't kneel down, you'd better go and see what's going on."

After living in this world for more than a year, Xiao Ming also understood this era. The people were very obedient, but this obedience was only based on giving the people a way out and would not harm their interests.

If you violate these two rules, the government office will understand the toughness of the people. Although Xiao Ming issued many government orders during this period, due to local operations, some people gathered to cause trouble.

When the group arrived at the prison, they saw thousands of people gathering together, and some people were pushing and rushing in with the constable, and they were stunning to rush in to save people.

There were five hundred cavalrymen following Xiao Ming this time, and they immediately rushed over.

Hearing the rumbling horse hooves and seeing the cavalry in silver armor appear, the people immediately took a few steps back and their voices became weaker, but instead turned their eyes to Xiao Ming and others on the horse.

Yang Chengye got off the horse first. He looked at the people blocked at the gate of the prison and said, "Bold, who is instructing you to make a big fuss in the Dengzhou prison. Do you want to rebel?"

At this time, Yang Chengye was very clear in his heart. All the villagers in Yutai Village were arrested. Now that so many people come out to ask for people, someone must have secretly used money to make these people come and boost their momentum.

"Your government office arrests people randomly and does not give us a way to survive. Is there any kingly law in the world?" a commoner shouted in the crowd.

After this shout, the crowd fell into silence again, and most of them turned their eyes to the murderous five hundred cavalrymen.

Xiao Ming walked forward and said, "I am the King of Qi Xiao Ming. Whoever found these people? He stood up when he was a hero. There were many soldiers from Dengzhou in the battle of Cangzhou. They fought bravely and were afraid of death. They were not as hiding their heads and tails as if they were cowards."

Xiao Ming realized that most of the people here were bought by money, because in the eyes of these people, he could not see anger, but only timidity.

If this matter is related to them, why should they be so trembling?

"King of Qi, is it actually King of Qi?"

"That's right, the Qingzhou army wears this kind of armor."

"I didn't expect that King Qi came to Dengzhou."

“…”

A wave of whispers reminded the crowd that something suddenly happened in the crowd, and more than a dozen young people walked out.

The leader is over 20 years old and has dark skin. He is always caused by the sea breeze.

"I am Yue Yun, Your Highness, now I am a hero?" Yue Yun said loudly.

Yang Chengye said with a deep hatred: "Bold thief, what qualifications do you have to call yourself a hero in front of the palace? Come and take down all the first class people for me."

The dozen young men behind Yue Yun immediately pulled out the machetes and protected Yue Yun in the middle.

"Governor Fang, wait!" Xiao Ming shouted at this time. He walked to Yue Yun and said, "So you are this private salt vendor in Dengzhou?"

"Your Highness, there are many private salt vendors, I am just one of them."

"Why sell private salt?"

"You can't catch fish at sea, you can only sell private salt to make a living. Moreover, this sea salt is originally born from heaven and earth, and all the people in the world can use it. Why do you only need to sell it in the government and not allow us to sell it?" Yue Yun said with confidence.

"As you said, then I ask you, how many taels of silver did Yue Yun contribute in the military rations, forged artillery, and artillery shells used in the Battle of Cangzhou?" Xiao Ming said with a smile: "But the Salt Transport Department replenishes ten thousand taels of silver to the treasury every month. If everyone in the world has the same idea as you, where does the military rations come from? Where does the artillery come from? Who will resist the barbarians? Moreover, is the private salt you Yue Yun sold for is given to the people for free?"

Xiao Ming just now just now just now, but he didn't expect that Yue Yun would really come out. In this way, Yue Yun is a passionate person, and there is still a way to save him.

"This..." Yue Yun was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said angrily: "Yes, I have nothing to say about the Battle of Cangzhou. Your Highness guarantees peace to the six states. But did your Highness ever think about the people of Dengzhou. We used to fish on the sea for generations, but now we have been massacred by Japanese pirates and lost our ancestors' business of eating. If we don't sell private salt, how can we survive?"

"Nothing nonsense, hasn't the government office distributed you to cultivate land? You don't want to farm, but blame Your Highness instead." Yang Chengye has always had a headache about these private salt dealers, and at this time he just wanted to bring these people to justice.

Yue Yun said: "Our hands are used to row and cast nets, not for farming. How do we farm? Besides, these acres are so far away from the village, how can we go?"

Yang Chengye also scolded Yue Yun, but Xiao Ming stopped him at this time and said, "You said that I do not care about the lives and death of the people of Dengzhou? So good, now I will give you a chance to grab the fishing place back. Would you like?"

"Snatch back the fishing place?" Yue Yun smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, you may have never seen these Japanese pirates. Their ships are taller than ours and have more sophisticated weapons and equipment. How can we drive them away with just a dozen of us?"

"What if I give you a big ship, summon thousands of young people from Dengzhou fishing villages, and then give you equipment?" Xiao Ming asked.

Yue Yun looked at Xiao Ming suspiciously and said, "Your Highness is serious?"

"Take it seriously!" Xiao Ming said.

"Does Your Highness not cure our sins?"

"If you are willing to join my navy, I will be exempted from your guilt." Xiao Ming said.

The law must not be more than human feelings, and he only mentioned the Battle of Cangzhou, so Yue Yun and others dared to show up, which means they are not sinister and cunning people.

This time it was just to save the villagers, and it seems that Yue Yun is also affectionate and righteous.

What he lacks the most now is manpower. As a vassal king, he must have a mind to recruit talents and not be confined to the minor details.

"Then from now on, our life will be His Highness?"

Selling private salt is a death sentence, but Xiao Ming is giving extra mercy at this time.

When he sold private salt to the people, he had heard of the righteousness of the King of Qi, and now he saw it in person and surrendered in his heart.
