The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Now, he doesn’t have to sell his beautiful bride anymore!

The thief was shocked...

???

How did 800 taels of silver suddenly appear? ? !

He was the one who killed the man, but when did he ever steal eight hundred taels of silver?

He was so excited that he wanted to explain himself, his heart was as agitated as a dog, but his body was as still as a dead dog, unable to move at all.

He couldn't stretch his legs or open his mouth...

His mind was full of thoughts, and although he was anxious, he did not lose his rationality.

They are all old hands in the underworld, and the thieves have figured it out in an instant.

I am!

Could it be that this corrupt official wanted to cheat the manager out of his 800 taels of silver?

Thinking of this, the thief's lungs were about to explode.

Dou Zhengyi only cares about money and not people. Now that we know where the money is, we must get it back!

He wants money, he wants benefits, and he wants favors.

For the sake of his beautiful wives, this matter must be completed!

At this moment, he didn't have the energy to care about the two dead dogs lying in the hall. He gritted his teeth and slammed the gavel!

"Su Peicai, go to Yugongfang and ask the shopkeeper to come over to me!"

This was definitely not done by the owner of Yugongfang in Jishui County.

After he reported the matter of the two girls, the steward personally sent people to take action.

He didn't handle it himself.

It was so unfair to him.

"Mr. County Governor, I don't even know these two thieves!"

"Don't wrongly accuse me."

Dou Zhengyi slammed the gavel with his face flushed.

"You are still stubborn. Now these two have confessed and have implicated you, Yu Gong Fang. The evidence is there and irrefutable. Don't try to argue."

"Hand over the eight hundred taels immediately, and I will try to get you some leniency, and let you die a quick death!"

"Otherwise, if you are tortured and suffer physical pain, your life will be worse than death."

The shopkeeper looked unhappy.

"Mr. County Governor, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. Have you forgotten the owner of Yu Gong Fang?"

"Humph, if a prince breaks the law, he is guilty just like a commoner. Killing someone means paying with one's life, stealing money means paying it back. This is only natural. Even if the Crown Princess is present at the scene, I will handle the case impartially. How can I let the Crown Princess have the final say?"

"Don't use the title of Crown Princess to pressure me. I am not afraid of power and will definitely redress the grievances of the people. Otherwise, how can I, Dou Zhengyi, be the parent official of this area?"

It was no use for the shopkeeper of Yugongfang in Jishui County to bring up the Crown Princess.

Seeing that the county magistrate was no longer willing to give the Crown Princess any face and was determined to get back the 800 taels of silver that she had stolen, the shopkeeper had no choice but to hand over the manager of Daxiling.

He doesn't have 800 taels of silver to compensate.

And this matter has become a big deal. He didn't just chop off his hands, he killed someone!

There are still 800 taels of silver!

Look how anxious the county magistrate is.

It was as if 800 taels of silver were lost from his own home.

Since when did the county magistrate become so concerned about the people's affairs?

"Mr. County Governor, I really don't know about this matter."

"There are still people in charge of this Imperial Tribute Square."

"I can ask the manager to come over to you. You might as well ask the manager about this matter to see if he knows about it."

Although he said this, he knew in his heart that it was most likely done by the manager of Daxiling.

Oh wow! He even brought up his boss. Jin Tiantian stared at the shopkeeper in surprise.

From what he said, it seems that he didn't do this alone, and the people in charge above him were also involved?

In order to save his life, the shopkeeper had no choice but to ask his servant to invite the manager of Daxiling over.

This steward was used to being arrogant and domineering due to her status as the Crown Princess. She was neither nervous nor anxious since she entered the court.

Jin Tiantian's eyes were dark. Seeing the relaxed expression and calm demeanor of the manager, it was obvious that he was an old hand.

Or maybe he is very diligent in interacting with government officials on a daily basis.

Otherwise, he has done a lot of bloody things.

"Mr. County Governor, I am the manager of the Daxiling area. All the imperial tribute shops in the Daxiling area are under my management."

"I'm so busy every day, how can I have the time to deal with two little girls? What is there about these two little girls that is worth my dealing with?"

"My Lord, please don't let these little thieves make random accusations and wrongly accuse good people!"

Jin Tiantian raised her eyebrows. A few little thieves? Did he think they were thieves too?

You're talking as if they're in cahoots with each other, and now you're trying to turn the tables on them?

But it doesn’t matter, no matter how calm you are, you can’t escape the power of 800 taels of money!

Sure enough, when Dou Zhengyi saw that the manager remained calm when he saw him, he thought that this was a challenge to his official authority.

There is no way his 800 taels of silver could escape from this Imperial Tribute Square!

"Someone, come here, this rampant thief is dishonest, suppress him and beat him up."

This kind of person is not anxious or afraid of anything, but is afraid of being beaten. Isn't it because he relies on the power of the Crown Princess?

Humph! The emperor is far away, and I am the emperor of Jishui County. I won't buy it. I won't buy it at all.

The steward's face changed.

"How dare you! Lord County Magistrate, don't forget who owns this Yu Gong Fang. What will happen if you touch me?"

"You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. You treat me like this, which means you don't take the Crown Princess seriously and are disrespectful to her."

Wang Hong and Liu Hu looked at each other, then hesitantly looked at Dou Zhengyi in the hall.

Dou Zhengyi was only thinking about the 800 taels of silver, and had no time to care about the authority of the Crown Princess. He waved his hand impatiently.

He always says "When you beat the dog, look at the owner. When you beat the dog, look at the owner." He uses this sentence over and over again to put pressure on others.

The dog's owner is far away!

The sky of the imperial city cannot suppress the sky of Daxiling!

"Fight, fight, fight, fight quickly, and talk after you're done."

It would be better to pose as the governor than to pose as the Crown Princess to scare him!

“Ah…ah…stop it…ah…County Governor, I admit it, I admit it…ah, I admit it all…ah…”

Screams were heard one after another, and after a few beatings, the manager could no longer bear the pain.

He didn't expect that the county magistrate was so bold that he really dared to attack him.

Even the governor had to think carefully about the matter, but he just ignored it when it came to this small county magistrate.

Even if he admitted it, so what? It was just a matter of paying money to settle it.

Isn't it just money?

Why put yourself in such physical pain when money can solve the problem?

Dou Zhengyi raised his hand in vain, and Wang Hong and Liu Hu stopped beating him with the boards and dragged the man over.

“Ouch… Ouch… my butt…” the manager wailed in pain.

Dou Zhengyi was getting impatient, "Confess quickly!"

The steward looked pale and glanced at the two thieves.

"These two are my men. I sent them out."

"But I didn't ask them to kill anyone. I just wanted to chop off the hands of those two girls so that they wouldn't be able to make pastries in the future."

"As for them killing people and stealing money, that was their own will, not my order. I can't do such a senseless thing."
