Puyang County Government Office is brightly lit.

There was a circle of people outside having dinner and having nothing to do.

With mocking smiles on their faces, everyone looked at Young Master Lu kneeling in the middle of the county office and whispered:

"Young Master Lu is in trouble this time! I really can't tell that that cute little lady is actually the head of Ping'an County..."

"What's wrong with the county lord? Doesn't the county lord also enjoy the worship of the county? It's not much different from Luzhi County. Luzhi County is the second uncle of the eldest son. If he comes forward to confront the county lord, the county lord will not be able to take advantage. Bar."

"You know nothing! The county head is a clan title, a second-grade title personally granted by the emperor! How can a ninth-grade county magistrate be compared? Besides, the county head of Pingan is the fiancée of the current Marquis Weiyuan, Weiyuan Hou Na is a genuine prince!"

"You are not entirely right. The Lu family is the mother clan of the Crown Princess..."

"That's right! If they weren't related to the Crown Princess, Young Master Lu and the others wouldn't dare to dominate Puyang County, which is under the emperor's feet."

"Today's lawsuit, I think... is hanging!"

"..."

Because Xu Rongrong was a female relative, she was sitting in the back office at this time.

County Magistrate Lu stood by with a smile on his face: "To be honest, Young Master Lu is my eldest brother's legitimate son. He is used to causing mischief on weekdays. Today, he has offended the county magistrate. I will strictly discipline him so that he will not Dare to do it again!"

Xu Rongrong smiled slightly: "Lord Lu, you are serious. The Lu family is also a century-old clan in Puyang. I guess they must respect the rules."

County Magistrate Lu squinted his eyes and listened with a smile on his face: "That's what the county chief said." Unexpectedly, this little girl was quite right.

"I wonder what position Master Lu holds? How could he mobilize county officials to work for him?" Xu Rongrong calmly took a sip of tea.

Magistrate Lu was slightly startled and did not speak.

Xu Rongrong tapped the teacup with the lid. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to hit people's hearts.

"As a close relative of the government, Young Master Lu does not want to set an example to protect the reputation of the government. Instead, he goes rampant with his neighbors and preys on the common people..."

"No one in Puyang dared to speak out about what happened today, and I just tried to protect myself a little, but no one in the entire county dared to let me stay."

"I wonder whose influence Mr. Lu borrowed from for his such rampant behavior?"

A drop of sweat slipped from Lu Zhixian's forehead and rolled roundly onto his chin: "I know you're wrong, official."

Xu Rongrong took in his expression completely, she smiled lightly and said: "However, this matter is Puyang County's own business. It is not my turn as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks. Please handle it as you see fit."

The magistrate of Lu County was overjoyed when he heard this!

It seems that the county leader intends to show his superiority. He quickly said: "I will definitely handle it properly!"

But then, Xu Rongrong knocked him down again with one sentence: "But...just now I heard people from the back office discussing that the Lu family was related to the Crown Princess. Today's incident has spread throughout the streets and alleys. Just now, we are welcoming The deputy general I came here is a member of the army. Therefore, Mr. Lu must not hurt the Crown Princess’s face when dealing with her.”

The smile on Lu Zhixian's face froze: This county master is young and looks delicate and frail, how come he has so many thoughts!

She dragged the Crown Princess into the water, and she clearly wanted to punish Young Master Lu severely!

He looked at Xu Rongrong, his eyes turned red: "I understand."

After saying that, he went to the front hall to ask questions.

The mother and daughter Xu Rongrong brought as witnesses went to hear the case together.

The facts of the matter were clear, so not long after, the sound of Young Master Lu's ghost crying and howling was heard from the front.

Wen Yao found out the news and came back to report: "Master Lu was sentenced to fifty strokes. Because the people gathered outside to watch, the executioner did not dare not be careless. Every stroke was hit hard, and blood was not spilled. few."

Xu Rongrong nodded and took another sip of tea.

Wen Yao was a little worried: "If Young Master Lu is beaten, I'm afraid the Crown Princess will..."

"It doesn't matter. The Lu family is running rampant in the countryside. Your majesty is wise and will definitely not punish me for this. But for the Crown Princess...every word I just said was for her own good."

If the Crown Princess wants to have real power, she needs to wait until she is granted the title of Queen, but based on what she has seen in her past life, she is afraid that such a day will never come to her.

Besides, their previous grudges were forged from the moment when the princess in her previous life wanted to sacrifice herself to the emperor out of jealousy.

After a while of burning incense, the crying in front finally stopped.

Lu Zhixian wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to the back office: "The lower official has ordered people to beat him fifty times. Now that the court stick is finished, according to the law, he should be imprisoned pending trial."

Xu Rongrong praised: "Master Lu is familiar with the laws of Zhou Dynasty, so your handling of this matter is naturally very appropriate."

Luzhi County: "..."

He gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but forced a smile on his face: "It's getting late now. If the county master doesn't mind, please rest in the back office."

Xu Rongrong nodded:

"There is Lord Rauru."

"It's just that the mother and daughter just had nowhere to go because of the harassment by Master Lu. Why don't we ask Master Lu to make arrangements together."

Magistrate of Lu County: "..." He gritted his teeth and agreed.

……

The Puyang County government office has a four-in and four-out structure.

In front of it is the main office, which is used for asking questions on weekdays.

There are three courtyards in the back office, one of which is smaller and is used as a study.In the middle is the main courtyard, with a square layout, three bedrooms and a tea room.There is also a courtyard with three wing rooms, which is used by the government officials on duty.

Xu Rongrong took Wen Yao and the mother and daughter to live in the main courtyard, while Chu He and Shu Qing lived in the side room.

After a day's journey, everyone was a little tired.

After the mother and daughter thanked Xu Rongrong, they both went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Rongrong was the only one sitting on the porch, as if waiting for something.

Wen Yao knew the young lady's temper, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

This is the back office, guarded by guards, and there is the Chu River next door, so she has nothing to worry about.

After bringing a pot of soothing tea to his young lady, Wen Yao went back to his room.

The evening breeze at this time of year is already very cold.

Xu Rongrong wrapped herself in a cloak made of willow leaves and carved bamboo, and sat in the corridor quietly in a daze.

"Are you waiting for me when you're up so late?" At some point, a tall and tall figure appeared in the courtyard. His dark cloak was rolled up by the evening wind, as if he was about to fly high.

He walked slowly towards the girl in the corridor, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Xu Rongrong looked at him: "The Marquis asked Vice General Ai to expose my identity. Naturally, I have to wait for an explanation."

Mu Rong leaned over with a smile and looked into her deep eyes: "I don't have any explanation. I just want to let you know in the most direct way: identity is sometimes much easier to use than force."

Chu He's martial arts skills were so strong that he could only drive away evil people like Mr. Lu for a while.

And the identity of the county lord can make it easy to take down the evildoers.

Of course, he kept his truest purpose deep in his heart and did not say it:

He didn't want to give Chu He a chance, especially a chance to show off in front of her.
