Chapter 480 Cai Qing: My older brother said, the one who starts it is the one who's scum! [3rd update, please vote!]

"hiss--"

Cai Xiao and his lackeys both gasped in shock:
Good heavens! Who gave them the guts?
Cai Fu?
But Cai Fu has already declared himself king. Which ruler would stand up for the people?
As the son of the Grand Tutor, what kind of situation hadn't Cai Xiao seen?

But he had never seen anything like this before!

For the first time, Cai Xiao and his lackeys tasted the bitterness of being condemned by everyone, and they couldn't help but huddle together for warmth...

Princess Tianshou's big eyes grew brighter and brighter:
Is this the State of Qi established by Brother Cai Cai?
As expected, they are different from the Song Kingdom; they are full of a sense of justice!
Shouting, "Fairness, fairness, or the hell is it fair?" the butcher spat all over Cai Xiao's face!

The general with dark circles under his eyes raised his hand, and the angry crowd gradually quieted down.

"Young master, with so many witnesses, what else do you have to say?"

The general with dark circles under his eyes looked down at Cai Xiao, and seeing that Cai Xiao had nothing to say, he waved his hand:
"Arrest them all and take them to the Imperial City Administration!"

"Wait!"

Cai Xiao, being a cultured man after all, immediately shouted:
"We only teased her a couple of times, and she chopped off the hands of two of my servants!"
"Why arrest us but not her?"

"Our king once said, 'He who starts the fight is the one who loses!'"

General with dark circles under his eyes sneered and looked at Princess Tianshou:
"Please also accompany this young lady to the Guancheng Division to settle this matter!"
"Don't worry, if the young lady is innocent, the city management office will not make things difficult for her!"

Princess Tianshou frowned slightly, a little worried that the general with dark circles under his eyes was two-faced.

In broad daylight he was upright and righteous, but once he entered the Imperial City Administration, he would likely become an accomplice to evil...

"Young lady, don't worry, General Shi is a very upright person!"

"The one sitting in the public hall of the Bureau of City Management is the King's own brother, 'One Flower' Cai Qing, who is the most selfless and impartial!"

"Young lady, please go ahead. Young Master Cai will surely stand up for the people!"

"Don't worry, we'll all be your witnesses!"

"Let's go together!"

When the people saw Princess Tianshou hesitate, they guessed what she was worried about, so they all comforted her.

Seeing this reaction from the common people, Princess Tianshou's delicate eyebrows relaxed, and she twirled around, clasping her hands in a fist salute:
"Thank you all for your kind words, prisoners!"

The common people burst into laughter and actually walked after him to the city administration office!
Along the way, she called on her friends and relatives to spread the word, resulting in a gathering of over a thousand people by the time Princess Tianshou arrived at Guanchengsi...

Is this Cai Cai's younger brother, Xiao Cai?

When Princess Tianshou first met Cai Qing, he noticed that Cai Qing had the same thick eyebrows and big eyes as Cai Fu.

He was neither as tall and imposing as Cai Fu, nor as domineering as Cai Fu; instead, he had a flower tucked behind his ear!

Now that Cai Qing has become the Director of the City Administration Bureau, he sits in the public hall and looks just like a righteous and upright official.

After General with dark circles under his eyes brought Princess Tianshou and Cai Xiao to him, he reported the matter truthfully to Cai Qing.

Cai Qing asked if there were any witnesses, and the enthusiastic crowd who followed immediately began to speak up and testify for Princess Tianshou.

"How dare you, Cai Xiao!"

Cai Qing slammed his gavel down and shouted sternly:
"How dare you abduct an innocent woman in the street! What is your crime?"

Cai Xiao, still clinging to a sliver of hope, shouted, "I am an envoy of the imperial court; you cannot punish me!"

"In the State of Qi, the king is subject to the same laws as any commoner!"

Cai Qing snorted coldly: "Even if the imperial envoys arrive in Qi, they will still be dealt with according to the law!"

"Come on, give him forty lashes first, so he'll know the laws of my Qi Kingdom!"

Several constables rushed up, pinned Cai Xiao down, pulled down his pants, and started beating him!
The people cheered, and Princess Tianshou calmed down. As expected, Cai Cai's brother did not disappoint.

“You just wait, ah—my father, Grand Tutor Cai, oh—I won’t let you off, hmm—” Cai Xiao was able to shout and yell at first, but after a beating, he became obedient.

When the thirty-ninth stroke was being delivered, a man suddenly rushed over and shouted:
"stop--"

I've almost finished playing here and you're only just getting here?
Cai Xiao, half-dead, raised his eyes and saw Gao Qiu; tears immediately streamed down his face.
What were you doing earlier?
Let them finish fighting, and I'll let you off the hook!
The fortieth board hung in mid-air. The constable glanced at the man dressed in crimson and purple, then looked back at Cai Qing:
To fight or not to fight?
Cai Qing's eyes widened: Hit!
"Snapped!"

The official's final blow was loud and crisp, knocking Cai Xiao to his knees!
"stop!"

Gao Qiu, panting, ran to the courtroom and saw that Cai Xiao's buttocks were badly bruised. He was both angry and anxious.
"Lord Guan, this Cai Xiao is my deputy envoy and also the son of Grand Tutor Cai of the current dynasty!"
"What law did he break that you beat him up like this?"

"Forcibly abducting respectable women in the streets is what happens in my state of Qi!"

Cai Qing remained unfazed and gave a cold snort:
"Considering that this was his first offense and the attempt was unsuccessful, he was only given forty strokes of the cane as a warning to others!"

"If this happens again, I will not let you off lightly!"

"This isn't his first offense!"

The young woman whose territory had been compromised by Cai Xiao bravely stepped forward:
"I just brushed past him today, and that beast trampled on my territory!"

Another woman stepped forward, puffing out her chest: "This is the same guy who touched my airbag in the street yesterday!"

An old woman stood up for what was right: "This fellow is the most unreasonable one. He stole my lantern at the night market the other day!"

Yet another pale-faced scholar said aggrievedly, "A few days ago in the bustling city, this fellow actually dared to talk back to me!"

"I'm not! I didn't!"

Cai Xiao hysterically retorted, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Gao Qiu quickly added, "Words are no proof!"
"Lord Guan, we can't just listen to the side of these troublemakers!"

"I will not wrong an innocent person, nor will I let a guilty person go free!"

Cai Qing glared at him: "Guards, take the prisoner Cai Xiao into custody!"

"I will make a decision after I have investigated and ascertained his crimes!"

Several fierce-looking guards took Cai Xiao away, and Cai Xiao's cries and pleas were of no use.

Not only him, but all his henchmen were also arrested, including the two whose hands were chopped off...

As for Princess Tianshou, with so many enthusiastic people testifying on her behalf, Cai Qing released her without charge in court.

Gao Qiu couldn't help but protest: "Husband, she cut off two people's hands!"

"You're just letting her go like that?"

"My older brother said, 'The one who starts it is the one who's scum!'"

Cai Qing told him with a straight face:

"Since Cai Xiao dared to forcibly abduct respectable women in the street, he must pay the price!"
"If two of you hadn't had your hands chopped off, do you think forty strokes of the cane would have been enough?"

Gao Qiu was so angry that his whole body trembled. His finger quivered as he pointed at Cai Qing, and it took him a long time to finally utter a sentence:

"When the King of Qi returns, I will report this matter to him!"
"You imprisoned envoy, you await the King of Qi's punishment!"

Why should I punish him?

Cai Qing raised his eyebrows, about to retort, when suddenly a person stepped out from the crowd of onlookers:

"What's wrong with Lord Guan?"
