Inside the house, the magistrate sat in front of the desk with a dark face. He touched the spot on his thigh where the mouse had bitten him yesterday, his teeth itching with hatred.

It didn't matter that he was driven into such a miserable place, even rats dared to bully him.

At this time, Father Zheng and others walked in and saluted respectfully:

"The common people pay homage to your lord!"

"No need, what do you have to do with me?" The county magistrate glanced at them, his face looked calm, but a cold light flashed deep in his eyes.

"Sir, I have something to ask of Cao Min. I wonder if the Zheng family's case can be postponed for two days. Cao Min and the Prime Minister are in-laws. Cao Min's granddaughter is also the princess. It is absolutely impossible for our family to sell fake wine. I hope My lord, check it out clearly.”

As Father Zheng spoke, he stepped forward and handed over the token.

Now all they can count on is this token.

The county magistrate didn't seem to care what he said, but took the token curiously, holding it in his hand and looking through it carefully.

"Princess Princess's order? Princess Fujin?"

He squinted his eyes and murmured, with a faint sarcastic smile on his face.

Father Zheng was about to reply.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate suddenly stood up, threw the token on the desk angrily, and shouted angrily: "You are so brave, you dare to pretend to be the princess, come here, drag me down and put you in prison."

Father Zheng was stunned by his actions. What is going on?

"Sir, this token was given by the emperor and there is absolutely no way it is fake. Please take a closer look." Zheng Laosan stepped forward anxiously to explain.

"Hmph~ Princess Fujin is personally appointed by the emperor. How could she come to a place like this? You don't have to quibble."

The county magistrate glared at them, then turned around and yelled: "What are you still doing? Take them all down with me."

The officer glanced at Jin Bao and said hesitantly: "Sir, what should I do with this little girl?"

"Lock them up together." The county magistrate's face was gloomy and he ordered fiercely.

"Yes, my lord!"

Although the official was dissatisfied, he still respectfully agreed.

Hearing that they were going to put Jin Bao in jail together, Zheng Laosan became angry. He clenched his fists and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Zheng Laosan.

Impulsiveness cannot solve any problem, but will make it worse.

The county magistrate knew Jin Bao's identity, but deliberately pretended to be stupid and refused to admit it. He must have planned it for a long time.

It seems that they were still too reckless and did not think carefully, so they fell into the tiger's mouth.

"Don't say so much, just follow them first." Father Zheng shook his head, picked up Jinbao and walked out on his own initiative.

Zheng Gentian and Zheng Laosan looked at each other and could only open their fists and follow closely.

They never expected that the county magistrate would kick them down. This was great. Not only was the matter not done, but they were also thrown into jail. They really had to resign themselves to their fate.

The official looked at Jin Bao's cute and innocent face and couldn't bear it, so he chose a cleaner cell for them.

Zheng Laosan looked at the locked cell door and punched it angrily.

"This county magistrate really has no eyesight. Our token is obviously real, but he dares to say that Jinbao is fake."

"I'm afraid he did this on purpose. Since he is from the capital, he must have known Jin Bao's identity a long time ago." Zheng Gentian said.

"Isn't he afraid that the emperor will cause trouble for him? Our Jinbao is the real princess." Zheng Laosan became more and more angry as he spoke. There was a ball of anger in his chest, but he couldn't let it out.

"With the queen's backing, he has nothing to be afraid of. When the time comes, he will give you a token he doesn't recognize. What can you do to him?" Father Zheng touched Jin Bao's head, feeling very distressed.

If he had known this, he would not have brought Jin Bao, and now he would have to suffer along with him.

"Grandpa, if you don't get angry, the bad guy will be in trouble." Jin Bao hugged his neck and comforted him.

A simple sentence instantly eliminated all the depression in Father Zheng's heart.

"Hahaha~ Okay, as you said, I'm not worried at all now. Let's just wait and go out. The dog officer will definitely be unlucky."

The words of the little granddaughter are more effective than the imperial edict. It seems that his worries just now were in vain.

Zheng Gentian and Zheng Laosan nodded and relaxed.

Now that Jin Bao has spoken, they will wait for the dog officer to suffer misfortune.

……

At this time, the gate of the county government office was crowded with people, all wanting to watch today's interrogation.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, not only Boss Zheng was not brought out, but even the county magistrate never showed up.

The crowd became impatient and began to disperse, cursing.

At this moment, two men in black walked out from behind the courtroom holding the county magistrate by his collar and threw him to the ground.

The people outside the door saw that there was something lively to watch, so they all stopped and stretched their necks to look inside.

"What's going on? Isn't that person on the ground the county magistrate? Why was he beaten like this?"

"Who are those two people in black clothes? They dare to hit the county magistrate. How brave they are."

"Why do I see the county magistrate so scared of those two people? I see him trembling, like a mouse seeing a cat."

……

Everyone started talking quietly, looking inside and pointing.

The county magistrate couldn't care about anything else at this time. Even though his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he still got up and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. "Please forgive me. I was confused for a while and I will never dare to do it again."

"Hmph~ I don't dare. I think you are very brave. You dare to put the little princess who is personally named by the emperor into prison. If you continue to be so arrogant, maybe even the emperor will not take it seriously in the future."

The person who spoke was none other than Long San. He looked at the county magistrate with disgust and couldn't help but kicked him again.

The master told them to protect the little girl of the Zheng family, but this guy dared to put her in a cell. He really deserves a beating.

"Spare your life, the little one doesn't dare. I will release the little princess right now. Please don't fight me anymore."

The county magistrate cried and begged. He looked completely different from his previous gloomy and harsh appearance. He seemed to be a bully and afraid of the strong.

Long San rolled his eyes at him, "We'll talk about it later with the little princess. Now let's talk about your affairs. Tell me honestly. Why did you accuse the Zheng family of selling fake wine?"

The little girl had met them before. Although her face was covered at that time, for the sake of safety, it is better not to meet them now.

The county magistrate lowered his head, looked away, hesitated, and did not dare to answer his questions.

"Don't you want to tell me? I forgot to tell you. When I left the palace, the prince told me that if I encounter dishonest people, I will kill them directly without reporting them."

Long San turned the token in his hand with an evil smile on his lips.

As royal guards, it would be normal for them to accidentally kill someone, not to mention that it was their master's order.

"I...I am an official of the imperial court. Even if you are the prince's people, you cannot kill me at will." The county magistrate stiffened his neck and retorted.

"Oh, really? How about you give it a try?"

Long San stopped what he was doing, turned around and said, "Lao Wu, he looks down on us, let's do it."
