The useless princess is causing trouble again

At midnight, Zheng Wenjin led the team to the gate of the county government office. Standing on the steps, Ze Er saw Zheng Wenjin, turned around and blew a whistle at the gate, and then the red iron gate slowly opened from the inside. Six wooden prison carts were pushed out in an orderly manner by the guards. In the first prison cart was the county magistrate Wu, who was imprisoned with iron chains on his hands and feet. He was wearing prisoner uniforms. He had lost his former spirit, his hair was disheveled, and his face was haggard. He kept muttering, "I am innocent. Prince Sheng tortured me into confessing. I want to appeal."

The five prisoner cars that followed held three big merchants who had colluded with County Magistrate Wu, as well as two local gentry bullies from the vicinity of Nanyuan County. After a night of trial, their expressions were no different from County Magistrate Wu's. The guards lined up the six prisoner cars and placed them neatly under the gate of the county government office.

Zheng Wenjin waved his right hand and pointed forward. The two hundred cavalrymen in the front row jumped off their horses, walked towards the direction of the prisoner cars, and then stood in front and behind the six prisoner cars. Zheng Wenjin pointed his right hand backwards, and the remaining eight hundred cavalrymen rode their horses to a place one hundred meters ahead, lined up neatly, and stood still with serious faces.

"All soldiers, listen up. Stay where you are and don't allow even a fly to fly in. Those who disobey orders will be punished according to military discipline."

The cavalrymen present responded in unison, "As you command."

Then Zheng Wenjin jumped off his horse and strode to the front steps. Ze Er stood in front of the bronze drum at the door, beating the drum rhythmically with both hands. When the people heard the sound, they gathered in groups of three or two at the gate of the county government office. As time went on, more and more people rushed to the gate of the county government office, filling up the empty space, and the dense crowd formed a human wall around. When everyone saw the six people including County Magistrate Wu being detained in the prison car in front, they were all shocked, and the discussion on the scene continued to increase, and it became more and more intense.

"What's going on? How come Magistrate Wu and Mr. Zhang are both prisoners? Did they commit a serious crime?"

"Looking like they must have committed a serious crime. No wonder the imperial court soldiers entered the city. It turns out they wanted to arrest Magistrate Wu and others."

"It's good to catch these vampires. Without them to bully others, our future life will not be so hard. I will go back and burn incense to thank those who stood up for us."

"Hehe! To tell you the truth, the one who stood up for us was His Royal Highness Prince Sheng. He was the one who sent people to arrest Magistrate Wu and his men and severely punish them. So if you want to thank someone, thank His Royal Highness Prince Sheng."

"Ah, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Sheng has been weak and sickly since he was a child. The Imperial Master once predicted that he would not live past the age of 25. Alas! Good people really don't live long."

"Your Highness Prince Sheng is a rare good prince. I will place a longevity tablet at home to bless His Highness Prince Sheng to live a hundred years."

"Yes, we cannot let good people die young. I also wish His Royal Highness Prince Sheng a long life of 100 years and great blessings."

……

At this time, Situ Chong held Shangguan Wei's right hand and walked out of the gate of the county government. The two wore the same series of purple couple outfits. Situ Chong gave people a sense of nobility and elegance. Shangguan Wei was sweet and cute, and her light smile made people feel very kind. The man was tall and the woman was petite, and the picture they walked out was beautiful and warm.

"Who are they? They are like gods, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, a perfect match for the eyes."

"Look at the white jade token on his waist. Could he be His Royal Highness Prince Sheng?"

"I saw it. I saw the words on the jade plaque. It really is His Royal Highness Prince Sheng. The one next to him should be Princess Sheng. The two of them look like a fairy couple that walked out of a storybook."

"They are indeed a couple from heaven. His Royal Highness Prince Sheng looks rosy and doesn't look like someone who is about to die. It seems that Princess Sheng is a blessed person."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Sheng has a kind heart. With the help of Princess Sheng, he will surely live a long life."

Suddenly, Magistrate Wu, who was in the prison cart, went crazy and struggled to break free from the shackles, shouting, "It's unfair, it's unfair to me. Prince Sheng tortured me into confessing. I didn't break the law knowingly. Please save me, please save me."

The people in the crowd laughed contemptuously, and some even spoke out boldly, accusing Magistrate Wu of various crimes.

"Wu County Magistrate has been tyrannical for many years. He has abused his power to embezzle and pervert the law. He beat up an old man in the street and robbed a woman. Each of these is a heinous crime punishable by the death of the entire clan."

"Bah! You are a dog official. You colluded with Mr. Zhang and Wang Dayuan to monopolize the price of grain in the county and increase the tax on the people's grain, making their lives miserable. And you still have the nerve to cry out for injustice here."

"Go to hell, you dog officer."

"You deserve this retribution. I'll kill you, you corrupt official."

"Throw it, everyone come together, revenge is needed and grievances are repaid."

The people were furious and threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at the six prison vans. The anger at the scene was out of control.

Zheng Wenjin stood on the steps, raised his hands and spoke quickly, "Fellow villagers of Nanyuan County, I am Zheng Wenjin, the prince of Dingguo Marquis's Mansion. Please be patient. His Royal Highness Prince Sheng has reported the injustice committed by County Magistrate Wu and others to the current emperor. They will be executed according to the law soon. Fellow villagers, please give this prince some face and don't throw things around to destroy the scene."

After he finished speaking, the people did not stop and continued to throw vegetable leaves and eggs. The heads of Wu County Magistrate and six others were covered with vegetable leaves, and their bodies emitted a foul stench.

Situ Chong stood beside Zheng Wenjin, looked around, and slowly said, "Everyone, please stop what I say. County Magistrate Wu will not escape the blame for what he did, and he will receive the punishment he deserves. I will promise to rebuild Nanyuan County and give the people a happy life."

Suddenly, the people quieted down, stopped what they were doing, and stared at Situ Chong on the top of the stairs.

"Your Highness Prince Sheng is a man who values ​​his promises. We unconditionally believe that Nanyuan County will usher in a new life."

"Wu County Magistrate is a dog official. Your Highness Prince Sheng must execute all his nine clans."

"All six of them are vampires. Your Highness Prince Sheng must sentence them to death, otherwise it will be difficult to resolve the hatred in your heart."

Shangguan Wei raised her hands and smiled, "Don't worry, my prince will give you justice. As the second in command of Longxing Commercial Bank and the princess of Prince Sheng, I can provide you with the jobs you need and solve your food and clothing problems." After she finished speaking, she took out a white dragon-patterned token from her waist and shook it left and right in front of her.

Hearing this, the people were delighted. Many young men raised their hands in the crowd with joyful smiles on their faces.

"Princess Sheng, I need a job."

"Princess Sheng, and me."

"I need it too."

Shangguan Wei smiled with her eyes curved. "Okay, friends who need work can go to Tianxiang Tower in the city to contact Butler Tong and tell him my name is Shangguan Wei. He will arrange work for you based on your specialties. I will celebrate your new life and distribute 100 kilograms of food and 5 kilograms of meat on the spot. Everyone can line up there to receive them later."

There was thunderous applause from the crowd. "Thank you, Princess Sheng. I will never forget your kindness."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Sheng, and thank you, Princess Sheng."

At this time, among the crowd of people, a pair of eyes looked at Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei on the steps with resentment. Behind him stood a dozen men in black. The men were wearing bamboo hats and their faces could not be seen clearly. They were shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Humph! So it's Prince Sheng and his wife. Let's settle our blood feud another day...

He waved his right hand, led the dozen or so men in black behind him to retreat, and then disappeared in the crowd.
