The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Chi Zhang took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket and presented it to Chu Heng.

"They created various excuses to collect taxes.

They gathered a crowd to rob and cause trouble.

He has disgraced his position and is corrupt and greedy for personal gain.

Allowing children to act recklessly and failing to teach them effectively.

Hiding and not playing..."

Chu Heng read out dozens or even hundreds of charges, which frightened Governor Cao so much that he hit his head.

"It's unfair! Please investigate!"

Chu Heng threw the booklet to him: "Unjustly accused? Behind each charge are clearly recorded the time and place of the incident. Do you think you can deny it?"

When Governor Cao picked up the booklet and took a look at it, he knew it was all over.

The emperor is far away in Liping, so he is the local emperor.

I didn't expect that King Chen, a prince, would want such a shitty place as his fiefdom.

"You collect taxes from the people, and you take advantage of Liping's poverty to submit petitions to the court for money. You are profiting from both the people and the court!"

"Somebody come!"

The guards of Prince Chen's Mansion pushed aside the onlookers and came in, bowing to Chu Heng: "Here!"

"Pull it out and chop it!"

"Ah!! Spare me! Prince Chen, spare me!" Magistrate Cao was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.

The guards dragged Governor Cao to the open space outside the lobby.

Just like that, in front of the people, the guards raised their swords and slashed down, and Cao Taishou's screams and pleas for mercy came to an abrupt end.

Many timid people covered their eyes, but more of them applauded.

"Good! The corrupt officials deserve to be put to death!"

"Good kill!"

"The dog official is finally dead!"

"Your Highness Prince Chen!"

"King Chen!!"

Chu Heng executed the corrupt official on the spot, which gave many people hope.

No matter how poor Liping is, it is still their hometown.

There is no one who does not want his or her hometown to be better.

Duan Bingqian's face was also full of excitement, and he secretly clenched his fists.

The numbness on his face gradually faded away. He looked at Chu Heng and said loudly, "Your Highness, I have a ledger here. I have secretly recorded all the money that Governor Cao has embezzled." After that, he turned around and hurried towards the inner hall.

The lawyer raised his head and looked at Duan Bingqian's back with shock.

After a while, Duan Bingqian came out holding the account book.

Chu Heng took the account book, flipped through it, and handed it to Chi Zhang: "Search the prefect's mansion and return the silver to the people according to the records here. Those ill-gotten gains do not need to be returned."

Another round of cheers broke out among the onlookers.

"Yes!" Chi Zhang took the account book and left with a team of guards.

After dealing with Governor Cao, Chu Heng looked at Duan Bingqian and said, "It seems that your power has been hollowed out. I will kill the governor today, and the rest will be handed over to you. I will lend you these guards for the time being."

After saying that, Chu Heng sat at the top and drank tea leisurely.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Duan Bingqian turned around and his eyes first fell on the lawyer.

The master knew that something bad was going to happen, so he immediately begged for mercy: "Sir, although we had many disagreements in the past, we have worked together for two or three years. I was also coerced by Governor Cao..."

"No need to say more, you have been an accomplice to the evil for many years, and you deserve to be killed. Come here!"

"Yes!"

"Drag him out and kill him!"

"Duan Bingqian! Duan Bingqian! You are using public power for personal gain!"

The lawyer kept shouting and screaming, but was still dragged to the body of Governor Cao.

The guard raised his sword and slashed again, and the cheers of the people almost blew off the roof of the county government office.

When things quieted down again, Duan Bingqian looked at the yamen runners on both sides. They all felt uneasy and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the face.

"I know that many of you, like me, have done things that go against your conscience in order to support your family. Whether you can be forgiven by the people in the future depends on your performance."

"But Zhang Hu, Wang Qing, you rely on your distant relatives of Governor Cao to bully the people. Come here!"

This time, it was the yamen runner who stood up.

The two yamen runners said in full force: "Sir!"

"Take Zhang Hu and Wang Qing to jail."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu and the other man did not struggle, for fear that if they said one more word, they would follow in the footsteps of their advisor and Governor Cao.

After dealing with the internal affairs of the yamen, Duan Bingqian walked out of the lobby and looked at the people outside the yamen.

He bowed and said, "Fellow villagers, as the father and mother official of Liping, I have failed to protect you and set an example. I am really ashamed."

"It's not that I'm unaware of your suffering over the years, it's just that I'm incompetent and can't do anything. I apologize to my fellow villagers here!"

After saying this, he bent down deeply.

The people suddenly quieted down.

After a while, different voices were heard from the crowd.

"When Mr. Duan came to our Liping, we had a good time."

"Yes, I remember receiving food distributed by the government. This is the first time in history."

"My grandmother didn't have money to buy medicine at that time, so it was Master Duan who hired a substitute doctor for me."

“When did it start to change?”

"It was three years ago. Lord Duan was suddenly thrown into prison. After he came out, that sharp-nosed and monkey-faced master appeared beside him."

"Yes, yes, Lord Duan must have been coerced."

"Master Duan, we believe you. You don't even have your own house and you live in the county government office. We know that you are not the same kind of person as the corrupt official Cao."

"Master Duan, we believe you..."

Duan Bingqian's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the simple faces of the people, feeling indescribably moved.

Duan Bingqian turned around, looked at Chu Heng and said, "Your Highness, many outsiders say that the people of Liping are not kind and that stealing is rampant. That's because they don't understand the miserable lives of the people of Liping."

"People are hungry and cold, and their crops are not enough to pay taxes. Under such circumstances, people resort to stealing."

"But we Liping people also have unwritten rules. We don't steal from seriously ill people, widows, or disabled people. It shows that they still have a kind heart."

Chu Heng put down his teacup and spoke slowly: "The law does not punish everyone, and I am not going to pursue the previous matter."

Chu Heng stood up, looked at the people and said loudly: "The people of Liping will be exempted from taxes for three years."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people outside the door went crazy.

Having just heard that the yamen had beheaded Governor Cao, many people came from far away, and the yamen was already crowded with people.

"Tax-free? Really?"

"Have the court's taxes been exempted as well?"

Chu Heng smiled and said, "No thanks."

"So the food we grow will all be our own?"

"Yes, it's all yours. You get what you sow."

"Your Highness Chitose!"

"Great! I have to go back and tell my parents the news!"

"We in Liping are saved!"

When everyone was excited enough, Chu Heng raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"This king has only one condition."
