The Adventure of the Kecapi
Chapter 240

Han Beng furrowed his eyebrows, it was indeed helping the ruler who was being surrounded and attacked by criminals or robbers, but he really did not want to get acquainted with the magnate.

Anyone who is attacked by robbers and threatened with danger will certainly be defended. He does not expect service or reward.

However, indeed he was daydreaming and curious why the magnifier was hostile to those who shrewdly.

And who was that handsome young man and beautiful girl? he felt like he had known his young man, but he forgot again, this was because he could not see his face clearly, a face that closed a lot.

"I have no business with your master, but because he needs to invite me, let me meet him for a while Han Beng then jumped on the horseback and with the guard soldiers he went down the slope.

What is important for him is not to fulfill the call of authority, but because he wants to get information about the event.

The magnate Liu was already waiting in front of the carriage when Han Beng arrived. And now there are not only a dozen soldiers guarding there but there are about a hundred soldiers.

"Hm...! This magnate was certainly an important person, otherwise how could he be guarded by so many warriors looking at his clothes, nor was he an ordinary security guard, but like the soldiers from the king's city." said in Han Beng's heart.

The middle-aged and tall skinny man was acting majestic and his pair of eyes emitted a cold radiance full of dignity.

Han Beng jumped down from his horse which was immediately taken care of by a soldier. He approached the magnate and saluted, and was saluted with respect by the magnate.

"Thank you, your swordsman has fulfilled our invitation" the official said cordially.

Han Beng nodded his head and reviewed his smile.

After sitting face to face in the carriage while the soldiers guarding around the carriage were on standby, the magnate introduced himself.

"Broker, we are an official from the king's city who conducts checks on the implementation of the labor collection of the making of the canal carried out by officials along the yellow River. We received direct orders from the Emperor Sribaginda as a special envoy who brought full power." Liu Tai explained.

Hearing this, Han Beng was surprised quickly he saluted.

"I'm sorry, magnate Liu Tai."

"There is no need to hesitate, you saved us and have made a great service." said Liu Tai who was then cut by Han Beng.

"Sorry p3mbesar Liu. I consider it a duty and a reasonableness, not a service at all!"

The magnate Liu nodded his head with a smile and stroked his beard.

"I always defend anyone who is oppressed and a victim of crime, no matter which group he is from. I myself was also astonished, why was it that the ruler Liu, who was a high official from the king's city, dared to come and rob? Who are the young men and women who have high intelligence? I would love to know all that, if only Liu's magnifier could explain to me." explained Han Beng.

"Indeed, I invited you to give me an explanation, and we hope that you can help the government in this very important task, swordsman. Can we know your name?" ask apembang Liu.

"I'm Han Beng, sorry, frankly, I lost my Mother Father and family because I was the victim of compulsion to be a forced laborer making the canal. My parents ran away and were wretched on the way." replied Han Beng who stopped his speech.

Meanwhile the Magnifier took a deep breath

"Because that's the fact that made us messengers by His Majesty to do research. That fact is a great crime committed by many officials who abuse their power, making the people miserable to the people. Know that the gathering of labor is by no means a compulsion. The people were asked to understand how important the making of the canal, and made precisely for the benefit of the people. And the people who would help with the work were rewarded as they deserved. But unfortunately, many among local officials are abusing their authority, the cost of paying the workers goes into their own pockets while they use their power to force the people to become unpaid workers. We were assigned to conduct an investigation into all that, about the abuses committed by local officials." Liu Tai's senior official said.

Han Beng recalled the curse of the young man clapping wide to him. He's cursing a corrupt bigot.

"So then, those who attacked the master were those who opposed the authority who committed abuses? Then why did they attack master?" ask the curious Han Beng.

"Maybe they think that we are also among the authorities who do misappropriation. Here is the question, swordsman, we came to Siong-an because we heard that Cang Jin was also a local authority and official who carried out the oppression of the people and used the power to arrest many people to be used as forced labor, while the cost for it is pocketed by itself. We came and did some research, and what did it do? He had bribed us with two beautiful girls and was like full of valuables intended for us to give a good account of him to the king's city. In order to obtain evidence, we deliberately accept the gift. With the evidence, one will not be able to deny that it has been charged before the court. However, in the forest we were suddenly attacked by a group of people, assisted by two warriors. That's why we suspect, is it true that the attackers are warriors who defend the people hate the corrupt authorities and oppress the people? Or is there something behind it? Who knew that Cang jin was suspicious of us, and lost the evidence! After you helped and we were able to escape, we immediately hid the two girls, and the treasure chest to serve as evidence later." Liu's superior explained at length.

"Then it may be that the attackers are those who hate the officials who harass and oppress the people, then because the Majesty receives a bribe from Cang Jin, he said, they of course assume that your Majesty is also the same as Cang Jin. Isn't that so, magnate Liu?" said Han Beng who guessed.

"If they were indeed the valiant people who protected the common people and hated the authorities who were corrupt and oppressing the people, they would have heard who and what our disposition was. Wherever we have always acted decisively against abusive officials. No swordsman, there must be something behind all this and know, we believe in you then we are frank that it is not only the misappropriation of Cang jin that we heard from our investigators. But that in addition there is also a high possibility that Cang jin held an alliance with the gang who allegedly will hold a rebellion" explained Liu Tai.

"Ahhhh! The rebels!" exclaimed Han Beng very surprised because this can make affairs become big and important.
