"What?"
The Emperor, who was just feeling smug, was so startled by the words that he jumped up: "Are there really so many people deluded?"
Long Rui nodded and said, "Indeed, there are dozens of people in Pan Family Bay afflicted. The villagers are miserable, feeling that the heavens are about to destroy their village. Your Majesty, please send someone to save them!"
The Emperor thought for a moment, then slowly sat back on the Dragon Throne, looking at Long Rui, and asked doubtfully, "Is Beloved Minister Long suggesting that the County Magistrate is also deluded?"
Long Rui: "Yes, Your Majesty, all the people in the Capital are crying out for him, saying the county magistrate works wholeheartedly for the people, is a good official, and for the sake of the people, he did not hesitate to become deluded. It would be one thing for Your Majesty not to treat him well, but he should not be thrown into the death cell."
