Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 428 The Devil County Magistrate
Only then did he realize that he might have caused a big disaster, and he knelt down quickly, "I am an inferior who has failed to recognize a great man. I beg the county lady and the prince to forgive me."
Bai Qianqian looked at the county magistrate kneeling on the ground, her heart filled with disgust.
She said coldly: "Get up. Since you are here, I will go and take a look at the taxes and accounts over the years."
When the county magistrate heard that Bai Qianqian wanted to see the taxes and accounts, he became even more panicked, but he did not dare to disobey. He had to bite the bullet and stand up, leading the way tremblingly.
The group arrived at the county government office, and the county magistrate hurriedly asked someone to bring the account book.
Bai Qianqian and King Chen sat at the top, with several children standing beside them obediently.
Bai Qianqian raised her chin slightly and stared at the county magistrate who was sweating profusely beside her with a sharp gaze.
Her delicate face was now covered with frost, and the majesty revealed in her eyes made people shudder.
"This county lady would like to ask you, where are the chief clerk and treasurer of Yong'an County?"
Bai Qianqian's voice was cold and clear, echoing in the lobby of the county government office, as if carrying an invisible pressure.
When Magistrate Li heard this question, his body trembled violently, and then he kowtowed like pounding garlic.
The sound of his forehead hitting the ground was dull and rapid, and his voice trembled with fear, "To answer the county lord, Yong'an County is poor, so there is no chief clerk and treasurer."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Qianqian's eyes, which were already slightly narrowed, narrowed even tighter, and a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.
She was silent for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Then, she suddenly laughed out loud, a laughter that was crisp but full of endless sarcasm.
"Very good, very good. You are the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the treasurer! Sir Li, you are really amazing. You hold several positions at the same time!"
Bai Qianqian's words were full of anger and sarcasm.
She slowly stood up and walked towards Magistrate Li, and every step seemed to be stepping on Magistrate Li's heart.
She looked down at Magistrate Li who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of disgust.
"Tell me, you hold several positions at the same time. Is it for the people of Yong'an County or for your own selfish desires?"
Bai Qianqian raised her voice a few notches, and the questioning tone made Magistrate Li even more frightened.
Magistrate Li was trembling all over, his official robes soaked with sweat.
He stammered and tried to explain, but didn't know where to start.
"Please calm down, my humble servant... I have no choice but to do this. Yong'an County is so poor that no one is willing to work here. I have to do this to maintain the operation of the county government."
Bai Qianqian sneered, "Maintaining the operation of the county government? I think you are doing this to enrich yourself! Do you think this princess is a three-year-old child who is so easy to fool?"
Her eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if she could see through Magistrate Li's thoughts.
At this time, the atmosphere in the lobby of the county government office was extremely tense.
Magistrate Li knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe, while Bai Qianqian glared at him, waiting for his further explanation.
King Chen sat aside, his face also extremely gloomy.
He looked at Magistrate Li coldly, and that look seemed to be able to freeze people.
"You are a very competent county magistrate. How dare you make such an excuse in front of the county lady?"
Several children standing by were also very angry.
They already know what's going on.
Bai Qianqian picked up the account book and slammed it heavily on the table.
"Look at this account book, it's full of loopholes. Do you still dare to say that you didn't embezzle money?"
Magistrate Li was so frightened that he trembled all over. "My Lord, please be wise. I really did not embezzle any money. These accounts may be a little messy, but I definitely did not embezzle any money."
"You didn't embezzle the money." Bai Qianqian stood up and slowly walked to Magistrate Li. "Then explain to me, why are these inexplicable expenditures? Also, why are the taxes in Yong'an County so high? As the magistrate, haven't you ever thought of ways to improve people's livelihood?"
County Magistrate Li lowered his head, not daring to look Bai Qianqian in the eye.
"County Lady, although Yong'an County is in a difficult situation, we still have to pay taxes. As an official appointed by the imperial court..."
Bai Qianqian sneered, "Mo Er put him in jail."
Magistrate Li slumped to the ground, knowing that he could not escape this time.
The bailiffs watched helplessly as the county magistrate was taken away, the fear in their hearts spreading like weeds.
They looked at each other, their panicked eyes revealing their helplessness.
After a moment, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they turned around at the same time, wanting to escape from this place where a storm was about to break out.
However, just as they took a step forward, they were blocked by green smoke.
Qingyan stood there with an upright posture, like a green pine tree, with determination and fearlessness in her eyes.
When the yamen runners saw that the person who stopped them was just a little girl, they were stunned at first, and then felt contempt.
In their opinion, what abilities could a little girl have?
One of the yamen runners was the first to react. His eyes were wide open with anger. He drew out his sword, waved it and rushed towards Qingyan.
The big knife swept through the air, making a whistling sound, as if protesting to the green smoke.
Seeing this, the other yamen runners also raised their weapons and rushed forward.
Bai Qianqian sneered when she saw this scene.
These people really don't know how to live or die. They dare to be so presumptuous in front of her.
She stood there quietly, her eyes full of disdain.
Just as the bailiffs were about to rush to Qingyan, Qingyan drew his sword.
A cold light flashed by, so fast that it was almost invisible.
In just a moment, the big swords in the hands of these yamen runners fell to the ground, making crisp sounds.
Blood was gushing from their wrists and the pain made them scream.
The original contempt suddenly turned into horror.
The bailiffs widened their eyes and looked at the long sword in Qingyan's hand, as if they saw the scythe of the god of death.
Their faces turned pale and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
Without Bai Qianqian's instructions, Qingyan directly drove everyone to the prison.
Her eyes were cold and the sword in her hand was never sheathed, as if she was warning the runners not to act rashly.
The bailiffs did not dare to resist and could only follow Qingyan to the prison.
Their hearts were filled with regret, regretting that they should not have been so impulsive and helped the county magistrate do so many evil things.
Bai Qianqian looked at their receding backs without a trace of pity in her heart.
These people aided and abetted the tyrant and colluded with the county magistrate, and they deserve to be punished.
The dungeon was filled with a pungent smell. Mo Er frowned, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and forced the county magistrate into it.
The dim light made the entire dungeon look eerie and terrifying, and the torches on the walls flickered, casting distorted shadows.
As soon as I looked around, I saw that the prison was full of people.
These people all look haggard, as if time and suffering have drained away all their vitality.
