Princess is stubborn

When he was promoted again in the afternoon, the county magistrate was obviously much more proficient than before. Without Xu Yuyao's reminder, he finished the process that he should go through.

Even the trial took no effort at all, and the verdict came down in a while.

Since the criminal is dead, of course no further punishment can be imposed, but the criminal's parents are still there. Based on Xie Bai's sentence in the morning "it is the father's fault if the son does not teach", the county magistrate discussed with the master and sentenced the criminal's father to prison for three months; In addition to the false accusation and offending the royal family in the morning, the criminal's parents each hit [-] big boards; and the punishment for the criminal's wife was also sentenced to the criminal's father.

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch in the afternoon, the people watching outside the hall also left before hitting the board.

In the end, Xu Yuyao sat in the lobby—the mahogany chair that the county magistrate ordered someone to move from the back hall. Hearing the crying of the beaten people outside, his expression didn't fluctuate at all.

Xie Bai stood beside her, looking down at her secretly.

Xu Yuyao was very beautiful, Xie Bai felt that Xu Yuyao was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, like the bright sun in summer, people dare not look directly at her.

When studying in the past, Xu Yuyao skipped class and was not there. The boys in her classmates always liked to discuss Xu Yuyao, discussing her beauty and her savagery.Often when talking about the latter part, one would say with a smile, "My brothers, if anyone becomes her son-in-law in the future, the others must remember to go to his grave for a few sticks of incense."

At that time, Xie Bai also thought so, and until this morning, Xie Bai still thought so.

However, now it seems that I don't need to die young, but... if I can't answer those two questions, Xu Yuyao will really ask someone to tie a gold chain.

"Does this palace look good?" Xu Yuyao turned her head and found that Xie Bai was secretly looking at her with lowered eyelids, feeling very happy.

Xie Bai replied subconsciously: "It looks good."

After answering, Xie Bai realized what he had said, and immediately said: "I am guilty of offending the princess."

Hearing this, Xu Yuyao frowned, "Xie Bai, you really know how to annoy me with one sentence."

"I didn't mean to..."

"I have intentions, but you don't, heh." Xu Yuyao sneered.

Xie Bai felt that he was probably really talking too much and making mistakes at this time, so he simply stopped talking.

The cane punishment outside has been done, so come back and report.

The county magistrate looked at Xu Yuyao imploringly: "Princess, the stick punishment has been finished, look..."

"I said before that I won't leave until a woman dares to report the crime."

The county magistrate felt that it was too difficult for him to be a county magistrate.He didn't believe that there would be a woman who would report to the government just because of the princess's few words, but he hoped that someone would report to the government now.

It's a pity that no one can hear the county magistrate's heart.

Xu Yuyao did what he said, sitting in the lobby all the time, ordering the servants over and over.

Sometimes I'm thirsty, sometimes I'm hot, sometimes I'm bored and want to listen to a story, and sometimes I'm bored and want to be quiet...

It was the first time that the county magistrate wanted to cry without tears in his decades of life.

Just when the county magistrate was hesitating whether he should send someone to the Prince's Mansion for help, the grievance drum outside the door finally rang.

As if receiving amnesty, the county magistrate hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, get promoted—"

A veiled woman outside the hall walked in slowly, with a step by step, which seemed to be a little charming.

The county magistrate asked: "Who is in the hall, and what are you suing?"

The woman's voice was crisp and soft: "Little girl, Mrs. Zhang, suing that thief is so contemptuous of me!"

It's coming!The magistrate immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "But the thief is dead today?"

"That's right." Zhang Shi said, "The little girl dared to stand up for her grievances today because Her Royal Highness the Princess had a great opinion."

Xu Yuyao looked at the woman very satisfied.

The county magistrate quickly tried the "case", and after sending the woman away, people from the Prince's residence came.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince heard that a woman has come to sue the officials, should His Highness get up and drive back to the palace?"

"Got it," Xu Yuyao waved his hand, "Let's go."

When Xu Yuyao left the gate of the Yamen, the carriage sent by the Prince's Mansion was already waiting there.Xie Bai watched Xu Yuyao get into the car contentedly, he hesitated whether to speak, and told her that there was something strange about Zhang's suing the officials.

Just when Xie Bai was about to go up to stop him, someone patted his shoulder, and the carriage had already set off slowly.

Xie Bai turned his head and saw the prince coming out from the darkness: "Your Highness?"

The prince said, "Don't tear it apart."

"Why?" Xie Bai was puzzled.

"Do you really have women who are willing to go out and sue the officials?" The prince said, "This king sent people to inquire about those women's homes this afternoon. When they heard about the suing officials, they all closed their doors. If the king does not With such a bad plan, Yao'er might really have to wait here until the Year of the Monkey! But you really saw it."

Xie Bai sighed and said: "The person His Highness invites should be a woman from the place of fireworks, and she is full of coquettishness in every gesture. When suing the officer, there was no trace of unwillingness, anger, or timidity in her tone..."

"I really can't find any other woman who agrees to do this." The prince said, "It can be seen that Yao'er's idea is really too wild and unconstrained."

"The lower official thinks that what the princess said is true, but it will take some time to change the status quo."

Hearing this, the prince was very surprised, and then smiled and said: "No wonder Yao'er likes you so much."

Xie Bai was stunned for a moment, then said: "Thanks to the princess for not giving up."

"Tomorrow you will go out with your mother and Yao'er. You should know how to do today's matter, right?"

"Your Majesty understands."

After watching the prince leave, Xie Bai looked at the vacant yamen gate, bent down, and thumped his sore legs: "Hey - if I knew it, I'd better ask the prince to borrow a horse."
