I Just Won't Play By The Book

288 A Touch (2)

In the crowd, Deng Xianghan walked up to Jiang Beiran and said,””Emperor, we have sent some food to these villagers. They already know that you are here to save them.”

Jiang Beiran hadn’t seen this kind of power for a while, so he asked Muyao and the others to help the villagers up. He then asked them one by one, only to find that they didn’t know where their men or sons had been taken.

“What about your village chief?” Jiang Beiran asked.

Hearing this question, the villagers fell silent. Finally, a woman answered,”Village Chief…The village chief was beaten to death when he tried to stop those evil people.”

“Sigh, what a pity for the good village chief.”

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about where to start investigating, the farmer in his soul state carefully approached Jiang Beiran and said,””You are the emperor? The emperor who cares about the people of the world?”

During the conversation, Ran realized that she could communicate with the ghost with her spiritual power. She nodded and replied,””I’m a fake and I’m a fake.”

“Doesn’t the emperor only know how to make us farmers pay taxes all day long? Why did you come here to deliver food?”

“The emperor has changed. I don’t want you to pay taxes. I want you to eat your fill.”

“The Emperor has changed? It’s good that the emperor has changed! The emperor in front only knew how to take our money. You don’t want our money and even give us food. You must be a good emperor! I’ll kowtow to you!”

The farmer kowtowed more than ten times in one breath.

“Stop kowtowing. I won’t hear a sound even if you kowtow like this.”

“Emperor, then go and bring my son back! I’ll let him let you kowtow. I guarantee it’ll ring!”

“Your son? Do you even know who kidnapped the men in the village?”

“Of course I know! We were all captured together.”

“Can you find them now?”

“Yes! Of course! I came back from there and wanted to go back to the village to see my wife.”

“Alright, you lead the way. I’ll go and bring your son back.”

“Many thanks, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Emperor, you are really a good person! I’ll bring you there now!”

After leaving some food for the villagers, Jiang Beiran took Muyao and the others out of the village and followed the farmer westward.

“Emperor, where are we going?”Muyao asked curiously.

“Go find the men in the village.”

“Your Majesty, you already know where they are!?”

‘Is this the difference between me and the emperor?’

Deng Xianghan was also very surprised. She really couldn’t figure out which of the words just now could tell where the man in the village had gone.

Only Kong Qianqian had a matter-of-fact look on her face. After all, she had always believed that there was nothing in the world that the Emperor could not do.

As they walked, Jiang Beiran looked at the farmer and asked,””What were you captured for?”

“Sigh.” The farmer sighed. Digging day and night, I don’t know what the stone is called. It’s green and glows.”

“Spirit stones?” Hearing the farmer’s description, Jiang Beiran immediately understood what he was talking about.

The farmer who recalled this matter immediately opened his mouth and sighed repeatedly.”Sigh, that mine disaster is really bad! After digging for a few days, we might not be able to dig a piece. If we couldn’t dig a mine, those evil people would only give us some gruel to drink or steamed buns that were like stones. A few of them died of exhaustion because their bodies couldn’t take it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran suddenly recalled the time when he was tricked into going to the underground chamber. He had lived a life worse than death. If it weren’t for the System, he probably wouldn’t have been able to survive until the day he escaped.

They chatted and walked over two mountains. The farmer who was complaining suddenly pointed ahead and said,”Your Majesty! That’s it! All the men in our village are there!”

Jiang Beiran looked at the place the farmer was pointing at. It was indeed a mine.

Muyao, who had been following the emperor silently, was stunned when she saw that the emperor had found the place. She had no idea how the emperor had done it.

Using his spiritual power to sense the mine, Jiang Beiran discovered that there was indeed a cultivator inside. Although he was only at the Qi Refining stage, this meant that this mine indeed had a sect backing it.

The moment they entered the mine, Jiang Beiran sensed the protective formation that was in operation. He broke the formation and entered the mine.

At the entrance of the mine, a guard was stunned when he saw Jiang Beiran and the others swaggering in. He immediately stood up and was about to scold them, but when he saw Jiang Beiran’s gorgeous clothes, he was afraid that he would offend some big shot, so he changed his words and said,””Why have you come here?”

Jiang Beiran glanced at the guard and said,””Call out your manager.”

The guard frowned and felt that the person was not friendly.” Our manager has gone out. If you have anything to say, just tell me.””

Jiang Beiran didn’t want to waste his breath on him, so he shouted,””Muyao.”

Muyao, who had already cooperated several times, pulled out her sword and stabbed it into the mountain!

With a boom, the huge mountain rock instantly shattered into pieces and rolled down the mountain.

The guard instantly understood that the person who came was a cultivator. He immediately cupped his hands and said,”Please wait a moment, I’ll go find the manager.”After saying that, he turned around and ran into the mine.

After a while, a figure walked towards them. From his clothes, he looked like an expert.

When he came before Jiang Beiran, the man cupped his hands and said,””I’m Tao Yingfa, a disciple of the Thunder Thunder Sect. May I know why you’ve come?”

‘Thunder Thunder Sect…’

Jiang Beiran knew about this sect. The sect master was a Mystique King level expert, and it was considered one of the more famous sects in Hezhi Prefecture.

“I ask you, where do the workers in your mine come from?”

“I!?”

When he heard Jiang Beiran’s self-address, Tao Yingfa instantly understood that these people were here to cause trouble.

Because he had long heard that the new emperor was patrolling everywhere and had even posted notices everywhere.

Knowing that the person who came was here to cause trouble, Tao Yingfa no longer held back and said proudly,”You are the new emperor of the Sheng Kingdom? Let me tell you, don’t use a chicken feather as an arrow. Since when can the imperial court interfere in the matters of the sect?”

“Zhen indeed does not care about the sect’s matters, but Zhen has to care about the matters of the people of Sheng Country. Your mine is full of men captured from the village, right?”

“So what if I am! If you have the ability, go talk to our sect master.”

“Alright, then I’ll go and talk to Sect Master Tang about this.”

Seeing that Jiang Beiran was about to leave and that he was really going to look for the Sect Master, Tao Yingfa quickly stepped forward and shouted,””Sigh! Wait!”

“Is there anything else?” Jiang Beiran turned around and asked.

“Let me tell you, the Imperial Court has never had a good ending when it goes against the sect. You have to think carefully!”

” Heh.” Jiang Beiran chuckled.” There will be one in the future.””

With that, he walked down the mountain.
