Abolishing Slavery

Another burly man also revealed a cold smile.

"I don't care who you are! We're ordered to capture escaped slaves. No one has the right to interfere. If you anger our masters, you'll be in big trouble."

The burly men burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Wushuang stopped talking nonsense.

Several streams of energy immediately shot out from her hands.

Several burly men collapsed to the ground on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, they were severely injured.

Although Wushuang didn't use her full strength, how could these ordinary men withstand Wushuang attacks for even a short time?

Unexpected changes were taking place.

Those around were immediately taken aback.

Everyone retreated hastily; after all, someone was about to die, and who wouldn't be terrified?

A burly man lying on the ground couldn't help but groan in pain.

"I—our master is General Fei Lian of the current dynasty. If you kill us, our master will not let you off."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

It seems we must reorganize the court once again.

The last time they cracked down on corrupt officials, they didn't manage to catch Fei Lian.

Therefore, Fei Lian escaped a disaster, but unexpectedly, that guy became even more ruthless.

It's only because this guy runs incredibly fast, sometimes even faster than jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, that he's nicknamed "Fleetfoot."

Therefore, the original Di Xin greatly admired him, often sought him out to play, and even gave him a high-ranking and powerful position.

Unexpectedly, this guy has become increasingly arrogant and has actually slipped through the net. It seems that he has done quite a few things like preying on the people and bullying men and women.

Ye Xuan had already sentenced this guy to death in his heart.

This guy has to die no matter what, at least to make an example of him.

Take this opportunity to abolish the so-called slavery system in one fell swoop. Even if it cannot be abolished, all the slaves in Chaoge should be completely eliminated.

Otherwise, if these slaves remain in Chaoge, they'll become a ticking time bomb. If it explodes, wouldn't everything be over?

Just then, a patrol of soldiers arrived. The leader was a burly general sitting on a black ox, followed by about thirty or forty men. This man was the squad leader in charge of patrolling the city.

What are you doing? What are you all doing?

"This is Chaoge! Who dares to cause trouble here? Disperse immediately!"

The soldiers were quite menacing, but they didn't harm the onlookers; they simply drove them away.

These people may look menacing and fierce, but in reality, they are all quite easy to talk to.

They were responsible for patrolling Chaoge on weekdays and made a lot of contributions to the people of the city, so not many people disliked them. On the contrary, they greeted them with smiles.

This attracted a growing crowd of onlookers, which caused the soldiers a major headache.

They finally entered, only to find seven or eight burly men lying on the ground, barely alive.

Even the one in the best condition was severely injured.

"Generals, please save us! We are retainers of General Fei Lian's household."

"We only came out to chase after runaway slaves that day, but we never expected to be beaten up like this."

Upon hearing this, the obedient captain was immediately taken aback, because he actually had a good relationship with Fei Lian.

Although his position was relatively low, he wielded real power, so even General Fei Lian had a good relationship with him.

Upon hearing this, his expression naturally turned somewhat unpleasant.

Judging from their words, it seemed there was no trouble being caused, but rather someone was making trouble for General Fei Lian's servants?

As he spoke, he looked at the three of them.

The leader was tall and handsome, followed by two women who, though of ordinary appearance, possessed extraordinary charisma.

Upon seeing this, the captain's face turned pale; he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Because he recognized the young man; the young man standing before him was clearly His Human Emperor.

Although his official rank was low, he had already met His Majesty the Emperor many times. His Human Emperor's appearance in Chaoge was clearly an incognito visit.

Furthermore, during this process, conflicts arose with the retainers of the Fei Lian family.

Of all people to offend, these lackeys had to provoke His Human Emperor. Aren't they just courting death?

This is absolutely a heinous crime deserving of death.

The guys lying on the ground were still venting their frustrations.

"Quickly arrest these guys. They've attacked us, which is equivalent to attacking General Fei Lian. We must teach him a lesson."

Although these guys were on their last legs, seeing that someone was backing them up, their arrogance gradually grew.

These poor fellows, however, hadn't seen who was coming, and their foreheads were already covered in cold sweat.

Upon hearing this, the captain in charge was even more furious.

He stepped forward and kicked those guys who were still shouting to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

Those watching from the sidelines were also dumbfounded.

Has this guy gone mad?

They're actually helping the side that beat people up?

"You utterly despicable bastards are the ones who deserve this beating! Your usual misdeeds are one thing, but today you dared to commit evil deeds while I was patrolling the city? You must be taught a lesson."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't know why the flowers are so red; you're just a bully relying on your master's power."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and kicked the man several more times.

"How dare you spout nonsense in front of me? Take them all away!"

"A thorough investigation and interrogation are necessary to ensure that justice is served."

This guy was now furious.

If he hadn't recognized the Human Emperor, he would have been killed by these guys.

This really infuriated him.

While directing the others to deal with the few barely alive guys, he cautiously approached Ye Xuan.

"That... pays respects to... that sir!"

This fellow was also a shrewd man. He naturally understood that His Human Emperor's appearance in Chaoge in this manner was a clandestine visit, and he did not want others to know his identity. Therefore, he changed his address to "Sir".

"My lord, these scoundrels have a history of abusing their power and oppressing the people. I will apprehend them now and bring them to justice. After the investigation is complete, they will be severely punished. What do you think, my lord?"

Ye Xuan nodded at the captain who had taken care of everything, but said nothing more.

"I'll leave this matter to you, but I expect you to handle it well. Do you understand what I mean?"

The captain nodded hurriedly. He knew perfectly well what His Human Emperor meant.

Ye Xuan waved his hand dismissively. These people were naturally aware of their own limitations; after arresting these thugs, they ran away in a flash.
