The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!

Shen Jingbei narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Since you are old, give more opportunities to young people."

The county magistrate was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment. Was he going to resign from his post? He calmed down and thought that resigning from his post would be the easiest option for him now. If he was found out about what he had done over the years, he would die!

What's more, he has some family assets, so even if he resigns from his official position, he can still live a prosperous life. The only thing he is afraid of is that what he has done will be discovered and his entire clan will be implicated.

He raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes, sir, you are right. Thank you for your advice."

Shen Jingbei glanced at the people who were still kneeling, and had to raise his hand: "Everyone, stand up."

If the people had not joined in kneeling, he would have made the county magistrate kneel here for the entire day.

The people stood up one after another, and the county magistrate also stood up quickly. He had been living a good life over the years, so how could he have suffered such hardship?

Not to mention kneeling, even when she went out she had to ride in a sedan chair and she hardly walked, which led to her developing this delicate body.

After kneeling for just a while, I felt dizzy and couldn't stand up.

The old housekeeper saw him and hurried forward to support him: "Master, you have been in charge of all the affairs of the county for many years... Now you are exhausted. Please come back to the mansion with us to talk."

The county magistrate was very satisfied with what the old steward said at this moment, as this way the court would know how "diligent and responsible" he had been over the years.

The people all lowered their heads and had gloomy faces. Although Chi County was poor, they had fields and land, and everyone was hardworking. It was impossible for every family to have difficulty even filling their stomachs.

It was because of the oppression of the county magistrate that they were suffering terribly. Not only did they not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, but they also had to live in dire straits every day. He even colluded with bandits to bully them.

They wanted to leave Chi County but couldn't. The county magistrate was afraid that they would go out and spread rumors, so he did not allow them to leave Chi County. There were traces of bandits on every road leading out of Chi County.

If the escaped people were discovered by the bandits, they would be beaten to death, and they would have no choice but to accept their fate.

They originally thought that the imperial court would not sit idly by, but twice the disaster relief silver was snatched away by the bandits and divided equally with the county magistrate, and the imperial court did not seem to be willing to come forward to rectify the situation. Over time, they became disappointed with the imperial court.

Today, someone from the imperial court came and distributed silver to everyone on the street. Everyone was very happy, and there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

But when they saw the county magistrate come out, no one dared to speak. They all lowered their heads and no one dared to step forward to complain.

Because they had daughters working as slaves in the government office, and sons working as errand boys, and every household had hostages in the county government office, they did not dare to gamble with the power of the court with their own families.

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Shut up. Young master has come from afar to send relief money. How can I retreat back to my mansion and enjoy myself?"

Shen Jingbei just felt amused when he heard this. He was really good at pretending! He spoke so logically that people who didn't know him would really think he was an honest official.

People like him just need... someone like his sister-in-law to deal with. I don't know if the Second Miss Tangxi will continue to play along with the county magistrate here. Maybe she can make the county magistrate doubt his life?

"Since the county magistrate is so willing, then please accompany me to help the people."

How could the county magistrate dare to refuse? He could only stand aside and watch the silver in his mansion being distributed bit by bit. His heart was bleeding! But he had no other choice and dared not say anything.

The last ounce of silver was distributed, but there was still a long line behind.

The people who did not receive the silver felt a little disappointed, and the people who received the silver were also worried that after the court officials left, the county magistrate would definitely snatch the silver back again. After all, the silver did not belong to them even if it was in their hands.

Shen Jingbei fanned himself and said, "Don't worry, Prince Chen and Princess Chen will come here in person tomorrow with the disaster relief silver. Don't worry, everyone will get the silver."

Everyone was in disbelief.

"What? The prince will come here in person?! Did we hear it right?"

The Regent is like a god in the hearts of every citizen. Everyone respects and trusts him, as if as long as the Regent is there, all their worries will disappear.

Now they finally see hope and no longer have to live a hard life under the control of corrupt officials!

It turns out that the court still cares about them, and the emperor has not abandoned them! He even sent Prince Chen to come here in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to Chi County!

"The princess is here too?"

"I didn't expect that even the princess cared about us..."

For a moment, everyone was deeply moved.

Shen Jingbei smiled and said, "Don't worry, the court has not given up on you. It's just that the border was turbulent in the past few years, and the treasury was used to supply the army, so we neglected your concern. Now that our country is prosperous, the emperor has also begun to rectify the country."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Great!"

Shen Jingbei rubbed his red eyes. When he was a child, he looked down upon those people in the capital who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. He also hated the condescending attitude of the powerful. He hated the powerful and also hated intrigue.

So after learning medicine, he left the capital and traveled around with his master.

But now it seems that there is nothing wrong with being powerful and wealthy, it just depends on how you use your power.

The power to deal with this small local official can make him afraid and bring justice to the people...

"This time, not only the prince and princess came, but also the young Marquis Baili from the Baili Marquisate. The court values ​​every citizen."

Everyone couldn't help but feel red in the eyes. They were just ordinary people and thought that the court had given up on them, but they didn't expect that it was just the wrong timing.

How could they have such a great reputation to have so many noble people come to help them?

The county magistrate was completely dumbfounded, with only three words in his mind - he's dead.

"Everyone go back and have a good rest today, and wait for the good news that the prince will bring to you tomorrow."

As soon as he said this, the people went home one after another.

"Yes, yes, yes! We must rest well today so that we can be energetic and meet the prince, princess, and the young marquis tomorrow."

"Yes! We must leave a good impression on the prince!"

"Everyone, go back and have a rest."

Soon the streets were deserted.

Shen Jingbei looked at the county magistrate with a smile: "Lord Chi, what's that expression on your face? Don't you welcome the prince and princess?"

The county magistrate hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, no! I would not dare to refuse to welcome the prince and princess even if I had a hundred guts. I am so happy that I am silly... Our Chi County can finally become rich. I am happy for the people."

As long as Prince Chen is willing, the entire dynasty belongs to him. How can a small official like me welcome him or not? He is the master of the entire country!
