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

Xia Zhiyuan, who was standing at the end of the corridor, took in the whole scene and felt mixed emotions. The issue between these two people must be resolved, otherwise sooner or later this yard would be thrown into chaos.

She walked over slowly and said, "Di Ping, you should just follow the princess. If anything happens, I won't be able to report to King Cheng."

This is how you should talk to Di Ping. You must start from a rational perspective, use reason and appeal to his emotions. Otherwise, this guy will be even more stubborn than Your Highness. He will stick to his old ways and won't change.

Such a person would indeed be a good material to be a guard.

But when it comes to dealing with people, he is much worse. His straightforward nature will definitely make people very unhappy.

Di Ping's heart moved, he turned around to look at Xia Zhiyuan's face, his lips trembling, he could only squeeze out a few dry words.

"Master Zhiyuan's safety is of utmost importance."

Because of the mask, no one could see Di Ping's pale face clearly, which was also the best use of the Shadow Guard's Black Iron Mask.

Let her cut off all feelings and love, and let go of all emotions.

"Oh, so many people are following me, nothing will happen to me, but you are so absent-minded, how can you work well?"

It’s been said that office romance is not allowed!

"I……"

When Di Ping was told what she was really thinking, she instantly wilted. She no longer had the majestic aura she used to have. She paused where she was, but her mind unconsciously drifted behind her.

"Okay, go if you want to."

"I am not... Your Majesty, I cannot understand you."

At this moment, Xia Zhiyuan felt that he was truly the conscience of heaven and earth, a good boss who was unprecedented and unrivaled.

Emotional issues really need to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise you will keep thinking about it and won't have peace.

"Okay, thank you sir."

Di Ping also knew that his current condition was too bad. He could hardly maintain even the basic vigilance of a shadow guard, and his attention was diverted by Zhao Yihan all the time.

With her current poor performance, she really can't continue to stand by the adults and protect them.

"Go ahead, say what you want to say, don't keep it in your heart."

"You should learn this from your Majesty."

Xia Zhiyuan turned around, and the morning sunlight fell on the corridor, and the breeze was mixed with morning dew.

She took a step forward.

Not a step back.

Di Ping looked at Xia Zhiyuan's back through the cold mask, and at this moment he understood a little why His Majesty cherished the great man so much.

……

"Master, the people won't leave no matter what you say!"

"I have to... meet that adult in person."

The constable gritted his teeth and spoke out the demands of the people outside the county government office. In the past few days, the county government office was blocked by people who came to appeal for justice or to express their gratitude.

Lord Zhiyuan's fair and just handling of the matter immediately established his reputation in Xizhou City. No one knew how Lord Zhiyuan was able to reward and punish fairly and impartially in such a short period of time.

For the common people, this was like a rising sun in the sky above Xizhou City.

Of course, having the support of the people and having a good reputation is a good thing, but troubles will also follow.

For example, now, he has received countless inexplicable and fabricated cases. These cases must be reviewed by himself before they can be handed over to Lord Zhiyuan.

Otherwise, his official position might be in jeopardy.

If it was a fabricated murder case, the county magistrate could arrest the person and give him a severe beating, but the theft of an old hen and an old duck...what kind of matter is this?

He was so anxious these days that even his beard fell out in clumps. His hair was already sparse, and if this continued for a few days, he might really become a big bald head.

"Send more people to guard it...Don't let these people in!"

The county magistrate held a brush in his hand and rubbed his temples. He felt that it was so noisy that he couldn't calm down at all.

If it were in the past, he would have beaten these people out with a few lashes of the stick, but the imperial official had instructed him not to use violence or roughness against the people.

Otherwise, the reputation she had worked so hard to build in Xizhou City in the past few days would be destroyed and all her efforts would be in vain.

This is really a headache.

Things that can be solved with a board are much faster than doing them one by one with a pen.

I really don't know what's going on in the minds of these imperial officials sent from Shangcheng, Jinzhou. The people are just like that. If you treat them a little bit nicely, they will become more and more demanding.

If you don't beat him with a stick, he will climb up to the roof and tear off the tiles in three days.

I don’t know who is the master and who is the servant in Xizhou City.

"No, I'll go see them myself."

Walking in from the side hall, Xia Zhiyuan was still wearing the thick cotton-padded jacket with gold embroidery and a tree branch leaping out of his shoulders. The lake blue clothes made people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.

Behind her were her inseparable shadow guards, all of whom were tall and held long swords in their hands, guarding Xia Zhiyuan's side.

"Your Excellency, are you serious? These unruly people have very bad tempers. Your Excellency, please take a look. These are all fabricated cases!"

"I am telling the truth, sir!"

The county magistrate had been anxious and angry these days, so his tone was inevitably a little aggressive. His action caused one of the shadow guards, Weiwei, to raise the handle of his knife a little higher.

In an instant, the arrogance of the county magistrate subsided. He took a few steps back with a guilty conscience and handed over the case on the table.

He had already planned a big drama in his mind, crying in front of Xia Zhiyuan about his difficulties. However, before he could say anything, Xia Zhiyuan poured a basin of cold water on him, which was a big blow to him.

"Of course I know all this, but as the people's father and mother, it is your duty to distinguish these things."

"There's no need to cry and scream in front of me."

Xia Zhiyuan only said these two sentences, then walked towards the gate of the county government office without looking back.

She glanced at the bustling crowd and walked with determination, without a single regret.

Your Highness trusts me, so I will do every one of these things flawlessly and will not let Your Highness down.

"The master is coming! The master is coming!"

“Really, my Lord…!”

The fishermen holding bamboo baskets and vegetable baskets all had expectant looks on their faces. They held high the live fish, chickens, ducks in their hands...some even brought pork.

This is enough to show the reputation that Xia Zhiyuan has gained among the people of Xizhou City in recent days. However, it is also thanks to the system. Otherwise, if he really handled it alone, he might not be able to sort out these cases until next year.

It’s better to cheat.

"Everyone, I know that you are grateful that the county government has finally returned to the right track..."

However, before Xia Zhiyuan could finish his words, someone shouted excitedly, "No! Only adults can...see through everything! Save our Xizhou City from the water and fire!"

"My Lord, you are the reincarnation of a nut!"
