Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

"Sir, we know we were wrong. We know we were wrong. We will give you as much money as you want. Please forgive us."

Beautiful women are always more likely to attract attention than ordinary people. Although Shen Yangui did not shed tears, his crying voice was so sincere that the people around him looked at him sideways.

Some outsiders wanted to speak up for the injustice, but were stopped by kind-hearted locals.

"You've only been here for two days, but you don't know that Captain Yu is the prefect's brother. If you dare to say one more word now, you won't know where you are tonight."

The people of Lingzhou City seemed to have been strictly disciplined. Everyone was curious, but no one turned around, let alone watched.

"Mrs. Pan, I advise you to save your energy." Captain Yu was very satisfied with the reactions of the people around him. "Instead of crying and making a fuss now, you might as well think about how to beg for mercy tonight. Maybe the prefect will be merciful and spare your life."

A cold light reflected in front of him. Mo Chengying saw Poshan behind the stall. He drew his sword to save him, but Mo Chengying shook his head slightly, signaling him not to act rashly.

"We heard on the way here that His Royal Highness the Regent Prince is returning to the capital from Jizhou after treating the epidemic. He will arrive in Lingzhou City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If you want to rob a commoner girl, he will not forgive you if he finds out."

Shen Yangui cried loudly like a desperate woman.

Others may not know the truth about the Regent of Lingzhou, but the prefect’s younger brother must know it.

Shen Yangui saw that Captain Yu's greasy brows were wrinkled, and he was thinking with his fat brain.

But when the people heard the word "Regent", they didn't even glance in this direction.

"They seem very disappointed with the Regent."

After entering the prison, Shen Yangui said to Mo Chengying.

The prison in Lingzhou originally separated men and women. Captain Yu was worried about possible changes as the Regent was coming, so he only ordered the prisoners to keep a good watch and hurried to find the prefect. Shen Yangui used a gold nugget to let the jailer find a way to lock himself and Mo Chengying up together.

Money makes the world go round. According to the jailer's years of experience, there are only two paths for female prisoners to follow: become the concubine of some rich man, or commit suicide if they refuse to obey. So he took the gold and locked the two of them up in the jail awaiting trial.

There are not only Shen Yangui and his wife here, but also other prisoners.

Hearing Shen Yangui's words, the young man with untied hair in the corner spoke softly.

"Disappointed? Two months before he came, the county magistrates of Lingzhou began to select concubines for him. After he came, he killed a large number of them without asking any questions. There were mountain bandits outside and official thieves inside, but he ignored them and only cared about drinking and sex. The common people were struggling to survive, and he wished he could drink their blood and eat their flesh. How can he be disappointed?"

The prison uniform he was wearing was ragged and covered in dried blood.

The old man next to him stretched out his bony hand and said, "Young man, don't talk nonsense. If you are careful, you will be punished."

"The board? Humph." He raised his head, and a thin face could be seen faintly in his tangled long hair. "I'm a prisoner scheduled for death row this year. I'm not afraid of beheading, so why should I be afraid of the board?"

"What crime have you committed to deserve execution?" Shen Yangui asked curiously.

"Crime?" The young man looked at Shen Yangui through the gap in his hair. "That's strange."

"How to say?"

"Lingzhou is full of criminals. You two are incredible people for committing crimes and getting in here." The young man mocked, "Why? Did you and the dog official not share the spoils equally, so you were locked up? Or did the dog official like the lady, but the young man refused?"

"I have never committed any crime. I was just curious about Lingzhou Prison, so I came here because I wanted to." Shen Yangui walked over to sit beside him and pulled a handful of straw. "What about you?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

The young man moved aside.

"From what I hear you say, you must be a scholar. If you are so indignant, why don't you think about passing the imperial examination to change the status quo?"

The young man couldn't help but look sideways at Mo Chengying who was speaking. Just as he was about to speak, Mo Chengying continued, "It seems that Lingzhou didn't give you a chance. You're not even a scholar, so there's no way you can go to Beijing to take the exam."

"Humph, with my talent, I can easily become a scholar or a juren, not to mention the second or the first place in the imperial examination. I just don't want to be associated with them."

Only those who are obedient can get a pass to leave Lingzhou and go to the capital.

Mo Chengying nodded, "So you chose to be stupid and insult Yu Guming in public?"

Shen Yangui was just wondering who Yu Guming was when the young man pulled his dirty hair to the sides and said, "Shouldn't this dog official be scolded?"

He was very emotional, staring at Mo Chengying with a pair of eyes that were particularly large due to his thinness, and saliva was flying.

Shen Yangui used the straw to block Mo Chengying's spit and asked, "You should scold me, but what problem can scolding solve?"

"It can't solve any problems, but..."

The young man let his hair down and said dejectedly, "But if no one speaks out, the common people will become more and more numb, thinking that what the prefect does is natural and that they were born to be enslaved. The land and property left by their ancestors will all become the private property of the corrupt officials."

"Being honest and upright is a dead end. Three-year-old children are learning to cheat and deceive. Some people can't stand it and simply leave the city to become bandits. They harm everyone and then go to harm everyone. The old mothers at home no longer teach their daughters to be virtuous and kind, but instead plan how to become the favorite concubine of the regent, the favorite concubine of the prefect, and even think about becoming the wife of a bandit leader."

"Lingzhou is really rotten."

The young man was also shaken and murmured, "Is this really how the world should be?"

"With people like you around, Lingzhou isn't completely rotten." Shen Yangui waved the straw in his hand in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Qi Xiuyuan."

"'The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will continue to search for it' is a good name."

Shen Yangui held her husband in one hand, sat down next to Qi Xiuyuan, glanced at the jailer, and whispered, "Do you want to be an official? Do you want to rule for the people? Do you want to bring honor to your family and change the current situation in Lingzhou?"

I wonder if these two people got in through fraud?

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes lingered on the two of them, and he moved his butt to the side again, "I'm a death row inmate, I have no one at home, and I have no money. If you keep arguing with me, don't force me to beat you."

"I didn't lie to you, this one." Shen Yangui pointed at Mo Chengying, "My husband, the Regent."

The people in the same cell just thought the two were fools and watched for fun.

"Impossible! I have seen the Regent. He was paraded in the streets two years ago. He is over thirty years old. He is six feet tall and six feet wide. When he sits in the sedan chair, he looks like a big water tank. His face is made of Taishan stone. It is extremely ugly. Standing next to him, even Captain Yu looks handsome."

Shen Yangui and Mo Chengying had seen Captain Yu before. He had a broad face and a pair of green bean eyes, but he looked handsome. How ugly must the person who was found to impersonate the Regent be?

"This is too much of a bully." Shen Yangui patted Mo Chengying's hand. "My husband is a handsome man, as handsome as Pan An. The people in Lingzhou government are relying on the fact that the emperor is far away and are doing their utmost to discredit the regent..."

"The charcoal in the stove is whiter than the old thief Mo. Does he need to be smeared? Madam, please stop making excuses for the Regent."

Mo Chengying heard another curse for no reason, a curse that specifically named someone.

Moreover, Qi Xiuyuan's words were agreed by the people in the same prison.

The old man next to him said, "I heard that the Regent and the Queen Mother have a childhood sweetheart relationship. The Queen Mother, the Emperor's biological mother, must be at least thirty or fifty years old, right? How can the Regent be so young? Young lady, please stop talking. We don't have any money."

"Let me ask you, if you knew that the Regent loved the people like his own children and ruled for them with an iron fist, would you flee Lingzhou at the risk of your life and go to the capital to file a complaint?"

"...Yes." Qi Xiuyuan thought about it and said, "But it's not like no one has gone out before."

"He may not have been out. If they can create a fake regent to deceive you, can't they create a fake complainant to make you completely give up on the outside world? You didn't see him being tortured in the capital with your own eyes."

“……”It seems to make some sense.

"So! Believe me!" Shen Yangui patted his chest twice, his eyes firm, "He is the real regent, and I am the regent princess. Follow us, work hard together, kill the bad officials, and let Lingzhou return to the Lingzhou where crops are abundant and people live and work in peace and contentment!"

"it is good!"

Qi Xiuyuan didn't believe Shen Yangui's words. He was moved by the power in her voice. He blurted out the words and then immediately came back to his senses.

"Ok?"

How come it's fine?

As for the Regent and the Princess... Qi Xiuyuan was also impressed by his own stupidity. "When the Regent came to Lingzhou, he lived in 'Jun Lin Tian Xia'. The prefect was too busy to praise him, how could he be put in prison?"

The others also realized that they had believed what the woman said just now, and now they followed Qi Xiuyuan's lead, and there was a buzz of discussion.

The jailer howled twice, "Shut up! Anyone who makes noise again will be whipped!"

Everyone fell silent, and Qi Xiuyuan simply said, "Liar!"

Fortunately, I still believed her so sincerely just now.

Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at Shen Yangui one more time. Beauty is like a poisonous snake. The more beautiful a woman is, the more her words should not be taken seriously.

Mo Chengying listened from the side, eyes full of admiration: "You are a man of letters who can pacify the world with a pen, and a man of martial arts who can decide the outcome of a war on horseback; you are a man of strategy who is unmatched, and you are the only heroine who can defeat you."

Who says no one is perfect?

His daughter is Qingqing.

When Qingqing sits on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace in the future, won’t she charm all those old men in the court?

"You can't even tell the difference between truth and falsehood. With your brain, it's no wonder you were arrested."

Shen Yangui didn't want to talk to Qi Xiuyuan, a fool, but the fool couldn't help asking, with a bit of grievance, "You said you are who you are? Empty words are not enough, you have to give me some evidence, right?"

"Don't worry, there will be evidence soon."

Just as she finished speaking, a voice was heard.

The cell door was opened and someone came in. The sound of footsteps came closer and closer. Everyone in the cell, young and old, immediately lowered their heads, fearing that they would be implicated and beaten.

Mo Chengying held Shen Yangui's hand and put his shoulder in front of her, thinking that if that fat guy Yu came to snatch her away, he would just break up with him.

Anyway, the problem of Lingzhou has been solved now, so he doesn't have to see the fake regent.

"It's time to put food on."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they found out that it wasn't someone from the Yu family who came in.

The jailer walked back and forth, threatening with a whip, "Everyone, take a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. If anyone fights for them, I will chop off his hands and claws immediately!"

The wheelbarrow was finally pushed to the door of Shen Yangui's cell. Ceramic bowls were lined up in a row. The person who was serving the meal, wearing coarse straw sandals, picked up a long spoon from the wooden barrel, glanced at the jailer warily, blocked his view from that side, and then looked at Mo Chengying.

It's a broken mountain.

Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui came over, one helping to distribute steamed buns and the other helping to pass out bowls of porridge.

——"There are actually grains of rice in this porridge today."

——"White flour steamed buns! I can't even remember the last time I ate white flour steamed buns."

——"It smells so good. Not only the steamed buns smell good, but the porridge seems... seems to smell especially good too. Am I going to die? Why do I taste the flavor of meat?"

——"Isn't this the last meal before execution?"

The people who got the porridge and steamed buns ate them voraciously. Qi Xiuyuan looked at the steamed buns and then at Shen Yangui and the other person, and actually believed in his heart that they were the Regent and his wife.

Mo Chengying took a sip. It was rice porridge cooked with meat broth. Minced meat could be seen in the bowl. Poshan had put a lot of effort into it.

"Has it been resolved over there?" Over there with the bandits.

"Yes, it's burned." There were so many people and it was hard to distinguish between the enemy and us. Poshan was afraid of causing trouble for his master, so he didn't dare to say too much. "The danger has been eliminated, and the leader has not been seen yet."

Sangniu took action and left no one alive, and all the people in Qifeng Village were wiped out.

It’s just that the boss ran away.

"Don't worry, he will come to Lingzhou."

Yu Guming would raise thieves to make money. Robbing a caravan was equivalent to the work of ten young men selling roast chickens for half a year. Naturally, he would not let go of the big piece of fat meat from the bandits.

The leader of Qifeng Village hates Mo Chengying so much, the idea of ​​setting up the fake regent of Lingzhou might have been his.

Now that his old nest is gone, he will definitely seek protection from the prefect.

So they just have to set up the net here and wait for those people.

Mo Chengying stared at the jailer, and Shen Yangui ordered, "Go out and do three things."

When Po Shan was released from prison, he first found a group of young beggars in the city and taught them a ballad:

"How bizarre, how bizarre, Pan An transformed into Yan Ziying,

How did the Mohist prince, who was sitting in the capital, become the king of Lingzhou?"

The little beggar had many friends and was quick on his feet. After receiving the generous reward, he spread the song throughout the city in half a day, along with a piece of news.

"What did you say? The real regent will come to Lingzhou City tomorrow morning?"

When the prefect Yu Guming heard the news, he slammed the table and stood up, "Didn't Qi Rong say that the regent would not come to Lingzhou?"

"Don't worry, brother. This is just a rumor spread by ignorant kids on the street. It may not be true..."

Before Captain Yu finished speaking, a bailiff came in and reported, "Sir, something bad has happened! A message came from the post station saying that the Prince Regent will be entering the city tomorrow."

"Are you serious?" Yu Guming pulled the collar of the bailiff.

"Really! It's absolutely true! The postmaster said that the other party has the golden order from the Regent Palace, and asked you to prepare to go to the city gate to welcome the emperor at dawn tomorrow."

This is the second thing Poshan did.

After the bailiff left, Yu Guming paced back and forth in the hall, like an ant on hot pan.

Yu Bu's mind was filled with gold, silver and women. He had no solution and no idea how to solve the problem. His only focus was on his brother.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Yu Guming was getting annoyed and slapped him in the face, "How many times have I told you to call me the prefect in the government office?"

The fat on Captain Yu's face was trembling. He covered his face and said aggrievedly, "Brother, I know you are anxious, but don't hit me."

"You idiot!" Yu Guming poked his head with his finger, "The Regent will come tomorrow. If you call the wrong name, our nine clans will be in danger!"

"I-I know."

"You want to call yourself a subordinate! A stupid pig! I usually indulge you too much!"

The master stepped forward to comfort him, "Sir, the most urgent thing is to vacate the palace first."

Yu Guming calmed down. "You!" He pointed at his brother. "Take people to the palace right now and move all the women inside to somewhere else."

"Isn't that necessary? The prince even likes the old queen mother. The girls in our palace are all young and beautiful. Wouldn't it be perfect for them to serve him?"

Captain Yu's eyes turned and he said fearlessly, "What are you afraid of? Who knows, our girl might be happy with his service and even reward us."
