In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.

He first went up to the edge of the field, then had his guards hide their swords, and then waited quietly.

Dozens of horses arrived in an instant, heading straight for the location where Li Yuanchang and his men were.

"Whoa!!"

The leader was a burly man in a tight-fitting outfit, extremely conspicuous, and his horse's head almost bumped into the people from the Prince of Han's mansion.

He dismounted, and dozens of thugs behind him followed suit, all with hostile eyes, forming a semi-circle around the Prince of Han's residence.

"Yo!"

"Pretty arrogant, bringing so many people to Shangba!" Wang Tao sneered, pressing closer and getting close to Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang smiled enigmatically: "You're Wang Tao?"

"It's your grandpa!" Wang Tao said arrogantly, while the thugs behind him burst into laughter: "Hahaha!"

Everyone in the Han Prince's residence stared at each other with the look of someone looking at a dead man.

With just that one sentence, his entire family was wiped out.

Li Yuanchang remained remarkably calm: "I heard you issued a gag order, forbidding anyone from discussing anything related to the fields?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao's arrogant face instantly darkened, and he coldly looked at Shuanzi behind him.

"You manure collector, you'd better prepare a coffin for your old mother!"

Shuanzi turned pale upon hearing this and looked to Li Yuanchang for help.

"Aren't you afraid of the law if you're so arrogant?" Li Yuanchang said calmly.

"The law?"

"Here, I am the law!"

As he spoke, his finger was already pointing at Li Yuanchang's face.

The instant the finger touched his nose, Li Yuanchang made a lightning-fast move, grabbing his index finger and snapping it hard!

Click!

His fingers instantly bent at a terrifying 90-degree angle.

"Ah!" Wang Tao's scream was even more agonizing than a pig being slaughtered.

His facial features were contorted, and his knees slammed heavily to the ground.

It was so fast that his men didn't even have time to react.

"Kill him! Kill him!" Wang Tao cried out in anguish.

At this moment, the group of nearly fifty people finally reacted, their faces turning fierce as they grabbed their weapons.

boom!

Li Yuanchang delivered a powerful kick, sending Wang Tao flying like a cannonball, knocking over a group of people.

"Take it down!"

"yes!!"

Upon receiving orders, the guards of the Prince of Han's palace charged forward like tigers descending a mountain.

All that could be heard was a series of loud bangs and screams. Before the forty or fifty men could even grab their weapons, they were beaten to a pulp.

They just bully and bully ordinary people.

The guards surrounding Li Yuanchang were the most capable fighters in the entire Prince Han's mansion.

In just one exchange, more than a dozen people were knocked down and unconscious.

More than thirty people were fighting fiercely; some picked up stones, while others simply pulled out daggers.

But the moment those twenty Tang swords were drawn, those other weapons seemed like a joke.

puff! !

A local thug was hacked to death by Guo Chao in the field with a single blow. The eyes of the remaining thirty-odd people instantly cleared. Was it for real?

They were terrified, panicked, and kept retreating...

"Crouch down!" Guo Chao shouted, brandishing his knife, his military aura overwhelming.

The thirty-odd people trembled in fear, and then all knelt down and surrendered.

"don't want!"

"Don't kill me!"

Wang Tao turned pale as he watched this scene; he hadn't expected to encounter something even more ruthless.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Li Yuanchang slowly stepped forward.

"No, don't come any closer!"

"If you kill me, you'll get what's coming to you!"

"I have connections in Liangzhou Prefecture!" Wang Tao said, resorting to his powerful backer when he realized he couldn't win.

"Oh? Who is it?" Li Yuanchang squatted down, his eyes filled with amusement.

Just as Wang Tao was about to speak, suddenly, someone else arrived.

"Take it down!"

"Take it down quickly!!"

A large number of officials rushed to the scene.

Looking over, Li Yuanchang recognized the leader as Li Zhi.

"Master Li!"

Wang Tao's eyes lit up with joy, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lord Li, come quickly and save me!"

"You bastard, you're just waiting to die!"

"Hahaha!" Wang Tao laughed triumphantly again, his earlier pleading demeanor completely gone.

Lee Ji, panting heavily, rushed over in three quick steps.

He immediately knelt before Li Yuanchang, saying, "This humble servant pays respects to the Prince of Han!"

"Your humble servant has arrived late to save Your Majesty; I beg Your Highness's forgiveness."

Wang Tao's smile froze instantly: "Han, the King of Han??"

"Guards, seize this scoundrel who is terrorizing the village and throw him in jail! Torture him severely!" Li Zhi roared, appearing stern and impartial, hating evil as if it were his enemy.

"yes!"

The officers he brought immediately came up to arrest the man and take him away.

Snapped!

A resounding slap landed hard on Li Zhi's old face, shaking his hair bun askew.

The entire room froze, and everyone Li Zhi brought was stunned and at a loss.

"I am still here. When did it become your place to make decisions?" Li Yuanchang said coldly, treating him like a fool.

Lee Ji's cheeks burned with pain, and he forced an awkward smile: "Yes, Your Highness, it was this humble servant who overstepped his bounds."

"When I received the news, I was also very anxious, worried that something might happen to Your Highness."

"Is that so?" Li Yuanchang sneered.

Then he looked directly at Wang Tao, who was already as if struck by lightning and whose face was ashen.

"Who gave you the right to threaten the people and forbid them from discussing matters in the fields?"

Wang Tao trembled, his previous arrogance completely gone; he seemed to have lost five of his six souls.

"say!"

"His Highness the Prince of Han is asking you a question. Who sent you?" Lee Ji shouted, his eyes flashing a fierce warning.

Snapped!

Li Yuanchang slapped Li Zhi again, knocking him to the ground.

"Ah!" Lee Ji screamed, his gray hair completely disheveled, his body covered in mud, looking utterly wretched.

"Lord Li, you're talking too much," Li Yuanchang said coldly, for doing all this right under his nose.

Lee Ji felt humiliated, but he covered his face and didn't dare to utter a sound.

"To be honest, I will spare your life."

"If you conceal this, I will cut off your fingers one by one." Li Yuanchang looked at Wang Tao as if he were the Grim Reaper, announcing his fate.

Wang Tao wanted to cry but had no tears.

"three!"

"Two!" Li Yuanchang started counting down immediately, too lazy to waste any more words.

The guards immediately stepped forward, pinned the man to the ground, and pried his hands open. Guo Chao gripped his knife, ready to strike.

"No!!"

"don't want!"

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"It was him, it was Li Zhi who sent me. He told me to warn the tenants here not to talk about anything related to the land!" Wang Tao didn't care about anything else.

Lee Ji's face instantly turned ashen, as if he'd eaten something disgusting. Pointing at Wang Tao, his finger trembled, he cried out, "Your Highness, slander! He's slandering me!"

"I have never given such an order!"

"He's ruined my life!"

He shouted excitedly.

Li Yuanchang sneered: "He'd risk his life to harm you?"

Li Zhi panicked, sweating profusely: "Your Highness, I swear to Heaven and Earth!"

Li Yuanchang had no intention of paying attention to it at all; it was obvious that Li Zhi was afraid of being exposed and was forced to come forward.

"Why are you silencing the people? What exactly happened in the fields? What went wrong?"

When confronted, Wang Tao cried and said, "I don't know why I was silenced. Li Zhi found me, gave me some money, and told me to do it, saying that if I did it well, he would protect me in Liangzhou."

"Okay, it seems to be because of the seeds."

"I heard from the tenant farmers that the seeds provided by Liangzhou Prefecture are rotten and can't be grown at all!"

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

The scene erupted in uproar.
