How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

"Beauty, are you drinking tea here alone?"

The little fat man sat down on the bench, propped up his chin and stared at Xie Chengze with lustful eyes, "Are you here to visit Zhuolu? My father is the county magistrate, and I'm his son. I'm very familiar with this place. Why don't you come to my house as a guest? How about I take you out to have fun?"

I don't know what good thing the little fat boy was thinking of. He burst out laughing in the middle of his speech.

Xie Chengze put down his teacup and asked with interest, "Are you the county magistrate's son?"

Seeing that he was interested, the little fat man immediately straightened his back and said proudly, "Of course! Just ask around. Hey, tell me, am I Zhu Xiaobiao, the son of County Magistrate Zhu?"

The fat boy kicked the tea drinker at the next table.

The tea drinker responded quickly, trembling, "Yes, sir, he is indeed the county magistrate's son."

The knife-wielding yamen runners came over in a group, stood behind Zhu Xiaobiao and laughed at Xie Chengze, "Little beauty, follow our young master back to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, you will have a good life!"

Xie Chengze seemed to be frightened and stood up a little awkwardly. "I have an appointment and will leave the city tonight. Thank you for your kindness."

Hearing his refusal, the fat man's face instantly turned sour, and he slammed the table and stood up, "I thought you were a sensible person, but it seems you are asking for trouble. Come on, tie him up and bring him back to the mansion!"

The yamen runners on the side had been eager to try for a long time. They stepped forward and held down Xie Chengze. When their hands touched his waist, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this boy's waist is so damn soft, even stronger than a woman's.

Xie Chengze couldn't struggle free, and couldn't help but glare at Zhu Xiaobiao, "Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you tie me up?"

"Humph! I am the son of the county magistrate, and the mistress of the Jizhou prefect is my aunt! Looking at the way you are dressed, you are at most the son of a merchant. Don't you understand that the people should not fight against the officials?" Zhu Xiaobiao raised his chin proudly, patted the long whip on his waist, and said with a slightly fierce look, "I advise you to be honest, so that you can suffer less later!"

Xie Chengze's face turned pale, "If you dare to touch me, you will regret it!"

"Regret?" Zhu Xiaobiao said disdainfully, waving his hand to signal the bailiff to take the man away, "I, Zhu Xiaobiao, have never known how to write the word regret since I was a child!"

……

"Dad! I regret it--!"

In the county government office, Zhu Xiaobiao knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, his tears spilled on the ground and wrote the word "regret".

Xie Chengze sat behind his desk, leisurely smelling the fragrance and sipping the tea, while also enjoying the drama offstage.

County Magistrate Zhu knelt down beside him, trembling, and carefully observed Xie Chengze's expression. "Your Highness, I failed to educate my son! I hope Your Highness will spare his life for the sake of his young age!"

After saying that, he kicked Zhu Xiaobiao hard again and cursed, "Idiot, you even dared to tie up His Royal Highness the Second Prince! Why don't you quickly beg His Royal Highness for forgiveness?"

If the Second Prince had not shown up at the agreed time for the meeting, and Wuhen had suddenly appeared and said that the Second Prince was in Zhu Xiaobiao's room, Magistrate Zhu would not have known that his son was a playboy, but now he had committed a capital crime!

Zhu Xiaobiao, who was kicked, cried and sobbed, "Second Prince, I know I was wrong. I really didn't know you were a prince. Otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do it!"

"Really?" Xie Chengze took a sip of tea slowly and glanced at him with a smile, "So, if I were not a prince, would you dare to take me as your concubine?"

Zhu Xiaobiao quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I don't dare! Didn't we say in the room that only you are worthy of the position of the legal husband, ouch!"

Before Zhu Xiaobiao could finish his words, County Magistrate Zhu slapped him hard on the forehead and said in horror, "What are you talking about!"

Are you going to die? Among all the students and officials in the world, who doesn't know that the Second Prince hates homosexuality the most and hates being told that he looks like a woman?

Zhu Xiaobiao covered his head and sobbed, "Second Prince - I know I was wrong! I will send all my concubines back home right now, wuwuwu -"

"I don't believe it. Who knows if you will do it again after I leave?" Xie Chengze put down his teacup, his smile becoming more playful. "However, there is a way to make me believe that you will never dare to rob a woman again."

Zhu Xiaobiao's abdomen tightened, and he immediately fell to the ground crying in fear, "Your Highness! Your Highness, I don't have a son yet! I haven't given birth to a child yet! Can you please wait, let me, let me give birth to a daughter before I die——"

Xie Chengze: ...

Wow, he's really loud.

No wonder the original owner sentenced him to death.

Xie Chengze flipped through the lottery tube beside him, took out a red lottery stick and threw it on the ground, "What should I do? I believe that only the dead can keep their promises."

Zhu Xiaobiao's legs went limp, and he crawled forward two steps crying, "Your Highness, please spare my life. Although I raped these women, I didn't treat them badly! They all stayed voluntarily in the end! I didn't force those who didn't want to stay—"

Xie Chengze raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that Xie Chengze seemed to be relenting, Zhu Xiaobiao quickly wiped his nose and said quickly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, if you don't believe me, go and ask. Although I forced them to stay for several months, it was also to cultivate their relationship. During this period, I never touched them and even served them well with good food and drink!"

"The concubines in my family all stayed here willingly. You know that. Didn't they persuade you..." Zhu Xiaobiao stopped talking and glanced at Xie Chengze cautiously. Seeing that he was not angry, he said, "I know that my external conditions are not good enough, so I want to win people over with my heart..."

County Magistrate Zhu standing aside was looking up at the sky in despair.

"Hmm..." Xie Chengze propped up his chin and looked at the father and son kneeling on the ground with interest.

Zhu Xiaobiao did not lie, those women were indeed treated very well.

Moreover, the people of the Jian'an Dynasty were open-minded and did not attach much importance to women's chastity. Although they were forcibly abducted back to the palace, they were also provided with good food and drink, otherwise so many women would not have been willing to stay.

even……

Thinking of the original plot, Xie Chengze's eyes flashed. Zhu Xiaobiao would not be sentenced to death, but he could not escape the punishment of being put to death.

"If you want to live, it's not impossible." Xie Chengze held his face with both hands and looked at Zhu Xiaobiao with ill intentions, "I am about to go south to Yizhou, and I need someone who can serve me. If you can come back alive, I will spare your life."

Zhu Xiaobiao was stunned.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I have only one son when I was old. He has never suffered from hardship since he was young, and he doesn't know how to serve others..."

"You mean, I've suffered?" Xie Chengze's face suddenly turned cold, and he shot a majestic and cold gaze at County Magistrate Zhu, "I have taken Yizhou, but your son can't take Yizhou?"
