Li Ke picked up the tea cup and gently blew the tea foam, looked at Magistrate Liang for a moment, and said again after a moment.
"Guards riding horses on the street can act recklessly for official duties and do not hide when they see people.
If they injure people, even though it is official business, they can be considered guilty according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
If you are not strict in discipline, I am afraid you will be implicated."
Magistrate Liang saw that King Wu would not let him go, so he had to lower his stance.
"I failed to control my subordinates well, and I am guilty."
"Yeah."
Li Ke took a sip of tea and said nothing further.
Magistrate Liang secretly rejoiced.
Although the King of Wu was a prince, he was still a childish boy.
He should be afraid of Lord Changsun.
"I heard that there is a Liang Bin in Tanzhou who oppresses the people and robs the girls.
He commits murder and arson and makes the people complain.
Who has ever heard of this within your jurisdiction?"
In the prefecture of Liang Just as he was feeling lucky, the kid in his eyes suddenly said something that made his heart jump to his throat.
"I deserve to die!"
All the officials knelt down in fear to plead guilty, and some officials even glanced at Magistrate Liang.
Li Ke took another sip of tea and said with a natural expression.
"If it is found to be true, how should we handle this matter according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"
One of the ministers stumbled and replied.
“If it is proven to be true, he should be executed.”
Li Ke asked Lie Yan beside him.
"Where does this Liang Bin come from?"
Lie Yan respectfully reported.
"Your Highness, this Liang Bin is the son of Magistrate Liang."
Li Ke said slightly confused.
"Oh, but Mr.
Liang here" At this point, Magistrate Liang realized that King Wu was deliberately targeting him and kowtowed hurriedly.
"I deserve to die.
I failed to discipline the dog well.
I didn't know that the dog had committed such a catastrophic disaster.
Please forgive the dog."
Li Ke asked back.
"I have said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, so according to the wishes of Magistrate Liang, he must protect your noble son."
Magistrate Liang's voice was slightly trembling.
"I don't dare.
Quanzi has lived in Lord Changsun's house since he was a child.
My sister regards Quanzi as her own.
I also ask Your Highness to forgive Quanzi out of Lord Changsun's consideration.
I am very grateful."
Li Ke slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table.
"You bastard, Mr.
Changsun has been honest all his life.
How can you be a cover-up person and slander an official of the imperial court?"
Magistrate Liang originally thought that the worst King Wu would do was to give Changsun Wuji three cents of noodles, but unexpectedly it backfired, and he was so frightened that his legs became weak.

"I am guilty" Li Guang suddenly reported.
"Your Highness, there is an invitation from the people outside.
I have been waiting for it for a long time."
Li Ke said seriously.
"Bring him in, you have to stand up first, how can you behave like he's kneeling on the ground?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
The officials hurriedly pulled Magistrate Liang to his feet.
"The common people pay their respects to King Wu and Princess Wu.
They pay their respects to all your lords.
Your Highness, King Wu, must make the decision for the common people."
Several people knelt on the ground.
"What grievances do you have?"
the steward said loudly.
"The common people want to sue Mr.
Liang to increase taxes.
The people are miserable.
This is a petition from the people of Tanzhou.
Please ask His Highness King Wu to make the decision for the common people."
One of the common people petitioned and took out a petition signed by the common people.
The names of the people were densely signed.
Youyang was shocked.
She thought that only in modern times would there be joint petitions, but she didn't know that it was already popular in the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, the common people wanted to sue Lord Liang for raping a common girl.
Seeing my daughter's beauty, Lord Liang insisted on asking the common people's daughter to be his concubine.
When the daughter refused, he just snatched her away.
So far, the common people's daughter is still here.
In Lord Liang's house, please have your Highness take a closer look."
An old man knelt on the ground and said with tears.
"Your Highness, the citizen woman wanted to sue Master Liang for abusing lynching.
The citizen woman's husband was a businessman who set up a stall.
He never thought of offending Master Liang's son.
When a conflict broke out, Master Liang sent troops to arrest the citizen woman's husband and then chopped him into pieces.
My husband is still paralyzed at home, please give me your help,” a woman said.
"Your Highness, let the common people make the decision."
Several people kowtowed to Li Ke, and Lord Liang suddenly turned pale with fear.
"Governor Liang, first of all, your father has reduced or exempted taxes over the years, but you have paid taxes privately, which has caused misery to the local people.
Secondly, you have abused lynching and raped women.
All the crimes you committed are capital crimes.
You can plead guilty."
Li Ke Don’t be angry and be proud.
"I plead guilty, Your Highness."
Magistrate Liang peed his pants in fright.
"When the person comes, take off his Wusha hat and put him in prison.
All the money gained from ransacking the house will be distributed to the people of Tanzhou."
Li Ke ordered in a loud voice.

The officials present saw that King Wu showed no mercy at all.
They were all afraid of being implicated in this matter, and they were so trembling that they did not dare to breathe loudly.
"Your Highness, please spare your life."
Magistrate Liang was pulled out.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for making the decision for the common people."
Several common people kowtowed to Li Ke and were all taken out.
Li Ke scolded sternly.
"Logically speaking, you are all responsible for everything that happens within your jurisdiction, but I will not pursue it today.
Liang Bin and you will send people to arrest and bring him to justice to make up for your mistakes.
You will eat your salary and worry about you, and everything will be done with The country, the country, and the country are our top priority, and I hope you will not tolerate it next time.”
"Thank you, Your Highness King Wu, for your kindness, and I will obey your Highness's teachings."
The officials were relieved to see that Li Ke would no longer pursue the matter.
"Your Highness, the sedan chair has been prepared outside.
Please move in."
An official came forward to ask for instructions.
"Yeah."
Li Ke responded and stood up and walked out.
Youyang followed Li Ke.
She wanted to pat him on the shoulder and praise him, "You are so talented," but she had to give up because there were officials present
