Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

The word "Princess" was so well-known that the people gathered at the entrance of the vegetable market were all filled with fear.

You know, these royal relatives can really cover up the sky with one hand, disregard the law, and bring disaster to the people!

"Yes, since the princess has said so, I won't be polite."

Xia Zhiyuan turned sideways and continued to talk to the people: "Your speculation and doubts are also a test of me, trust in me, and praise from your majesty."

"Today's notice has already been posted. I believe that everyone standing here must have hopes for the fairness of the execution."

She said it firmly, without wavering.

Zhao Yihan stood by and watched, feeling a little dazed. At this moment, Xia Zhiyuan was no longer the timid Xia Zhiyuan of the past. Instead, he behaved more like Zhao Changlin.

"Let's start with the first case."

Xia Zhiyuan turned around and looked at the burly man kneeling on the ring.

"I'm sure everyone is already very familiar with what happened in Xiahe Village."

When she said this, some people in the crowd gasped. Compared with the cruelty of the pirates, this incident was nothing.

But for ordinary people, this is the place where the benevolence of the county government is best demonstrated.

Attacking the pirates requires deploying troops and arranging battle formations, but solving cases in the county government requires the sharp eyes of an honest judge.

"My Lord! My Lord... Although I just said a few random words... I didn't commit any murder. Are you trying to... confuse right and wrong?"

"My fellow villagers... please give me your opinion!"

"I just drank a few glasses of wine and said some drunken words. Who knew that person would take it seriously..."

His voice was high-pitched, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and even the constable next to him could not suppress his movements.

When a person is about to die, the power that erupts is endless.

Xia Zhiyuan looked at him struggling to beg for mercy, turned around, and said to the people of Xizhou City: "Everyone, tell me, how should we convict him of this crime?"

The people fell silent, swallowing back what they wanted to say. They were afraid that if they spoke the truth in their hearts, their lives would be in danger.

There are old people above me and young children below me, how dare I be so rude?

But there are also those who are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. A fisherwoman holding a bunch of dried fish in her hand stood up and said with her hands on her hips.

"Just follow the court's laws, but can your government really do what it says?"

Hearing these words made the county magistrate furious. What did this shameless little bitch mean? Was she accusing him of not governing Xizhou City well?

"How dare you question the authority of the county government in broad daylight!"

"I will put you in jail too!"

Xia Zhiyuan glanced at the extremely excited county magistrate and was speechless. She raised her eyebrows. Di Ping, who was standing aside, immediately understood and drew his sword.

Half of the inky black blade was stuck in the scabbard.

Di Ping moved in the direction of the county magistrate, a little closer, and her threatening intention was only slightly revealed.

The county magistrate immediately shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.

"Of course, today we will not only deal with this case, but also the cases that have been piled up in the past half month will receive corresponding judgments."

"Do you still have any doubts?"

When she said this, almost everyone couldn't believe it. How could a human being possibly handle all the cases piled up in the county government in such a short time?

I'm afraid this is another case of unjust, false and wrongful convictions, where the person confessed under torture.

But faced with so many shadow guards, the people of Xizhou City were speechless and could only remain silent and sigh.

Standing in the center of the crowd, the fisherwoman who had just spoken boldly stared at Xia Zhiyuan and refused to move her eyes away. She had heard before that the official sent by the court was a noble lady from Jinzhou City.

Your Majesty's favorite person.

That’s why the power is so great that it can cover the whole world with one hand.

But when she saw him today, she felt it was completely different. Compared with the official authority, Xia Zhiyuan did not use the power of the county yamen as a bully.

On the contrary, he is more people-friendly and is quite patient in answering people's questions.

"Since you have no more questions, please wait and see how the county government handles the matter."

Xia Zhiyuan was not worried. She knew that the system could approve applications very quickly with just one click, so it was normal for the people of Xizhou City to question her actions.

However, the systematic execution was a combination of public opinion trends in Xizhou City and the opinions of the aristocratic class in Xizhou City.

It was she who asked the system to balance the views of several different classes on this matter. The punishment could not be absolutely fair and must not be carried out in strict accordance with the laws of Daliang. The important thing was to make people from every class reach a level of acceptance. This was the execution method that could win people's hearts.

Xia Zhiyuan came here not to be an impartial judge, but to win the hearts of the people and make Xizhou City prosperous again.

So it was inevitable that she was somewhat biased in this matter, punishing some people severely and others lightly.

However, everything requires sacrifice, as the saying goes, you can't get a tiger cub without risking it.

"As for this person, the government will not execute him for gossiping. His crime does not deserve death, but he cannot escape the death penalty.

As soon as Xia Zhiyuan finished speaking, the constables immediately lifted up the burly man and took him away again. It seemed that they really had no intention of taking his life.

The wailing sound spread throughout the streets and alleys. Some people who loved to walk around the streets and spit everywhere covered their lips, and their hearts were inevitably trembling with fear.

They all wondered whether the same fate would befall them.

It seems that I have to stay out of the spotlight for the next few days and dare not say anything nonsense or spread any rumors.

"Zhiyuan, I haven't seen you for a few days. I really have a new respect for you."

Zhao Yihan happily moved closer to Xia Zhiyuan and greeted her in a familiar manner. She was always like this, including that day at the royal hunting ground, Zhao Yihan was also like this without boundaries.

She clung to Xia Zhiyuan as if she had no bones, which was completely different from her previous attitude.

He placed his hands dishonestly on Xia Zhiyuan's soft waist and held it loosely.

When they were in the royal hunting ground, Zhao Yihan treated her coldly without limit from time to time. For example, he would ask her questions about everything she should and shouldn't say, showing no respect for her at all.

Just a kid who deserves a beating.

And now it's as if he's deliberately trying to piss someone off, as if he wants to stick to himself like a dog-skin plaster.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiyuan felt a flash of inspiration in his mind. He slowly turned around and looked at Di Ping who was standing beside him with his head down.

Could it be that these two people also have an unspeakable past?

You know what, this is really possible.

After all, Di Ping has been His Highness's guard since he was a child, and Zhao Yihan is His Highness's sister. They are childhood sweethearts, so it is hard for anything to happen!
