The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

Even if their father was extremely powerful, as commoners without official rank, if they really took action against the prefect, even if it was for justice, the law would not favor them in the end.

"Stop." Her tone was calm but majestic, and the crowd stopped moving involuntarily.

The girl in the blue dress seemed to feel a little relieved, her brows relaxed slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief.

How could those wealthy and idle people who usually do nothing buy into this so easily?

Especially that talkative man - Xiao Tingxuan. His father, the Earl of Pingbei, is notoriously difficult to approach in the capital. Xiao Tingxuan himself is well aware of this and has a self-deprecating understanding of his own character and reputation outside.

This time, he wanted to do something good that could restore his reputation a little, but he didn't expect to encounter repeated obstacles.

Sheng Junwei's eyes gently swept over Xiao Tingxuan.

"You dare to touch an official appointed by the imperial court? How many heads do you have to chop off? Or do you think that Pingbei Bo hasn't cleaned up your mess yet? You will only be satisfied if you cause him to lose his title?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tingxuan frowned, his face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment.

This silence quickly spread to the wealthy young men around. They usually only cared about wine and women, but with Sheng Junwei's calm reminder, they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although they were known as little bullies in the capital city, relying on their family power to run rampant, their targets had always been young people of equal status.

Even if there are fights, they are mostly just pranks between playboys and have nothing to do with the overall situation.

Directly attacking imperial officials was beyond their previous understanding.

This awakening made these usually arrogant young men feel a chill in their hearts, and they realized that their arrogance did not come from their own strength, but from the protection of their fathers' power behind them.

Under the strict laws of the Great Sheng Empire, civilians who attacked officials would be severely punished at the very least, or even charged with treason at the worst.

Some people still feel unwilling: "Is this the end? I tried so hard to be a good person, but in the end it was all in vain. I can't swallow this!"

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Sheng Junwei mentioned the "Pingbei Earl", which shocked the official so much that he stood there in a daze.

With his status, he should not have known about a noble like the Earl of Pingbei, but the word "Earl" made him instantly understand the other party's noble status. Did it mean that the young man he was about to teach a lesson was actually a descendant of the Earl's Mansion?

In an instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, with unprecedented panic surging in his heart. He knew that if he handled the situation improperly, not only would his career be ruined, but it might also lead to unimaginable disasters.

If the young master of the Earl's Mansion really intervenes, the life of a mere official like him will be worthless, hanging by a thread between life and death!

Since she couldn't do anything to him, perhaps he could take the opportunity to stabilize the situation and secretly find an opportunity to turn the tide.

Those rich kids were not very smart. With the right approach, they could easily package Wang Meng and his gang as righteous people who protected the weak.

Once it is done, this group of young masters will be the ladder for his official career.

But the first thing is to get rid of these uncles first, otherwise it will all be empty talk.

I was thinking about it in my mind, when suddenly, that cold voice sounded again: "You can't touch him, but I can."

Officials found this ridiculous.

Even the young master of Pingbei Earl couldn't touch him, so who does this woman think she is!

Do you really think of yourself as a princess?!

Just as the thought came to an end, the woman continued, "As a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Justice, I ask for your help in solving this major human trafficking case. After the success, I will write a letter to you to request credit for you."

Young Master: “!”

Girl in blue shirt: “!!”

"We will do our best to assist Dr. Sheng!"

There was excitement in their eyes.

With a legitimate reason, everyone no longer hesitated and rushed forward.

Xiao Tingxuan was the most straightforward. He rushed towards the official and kicked him: "I will kick you to death, you corrupt official! You are flirting with a liar. Do you think we are blind?!"

The official never expected such a reversal of the situation. When he was kicked down, his mind was still in a mess: "No... You can't touch me! I am an official appointed by the court!"

Xiao Tingxuan sneered, "Although you are an official, you are just an insignificant eighth-rank official! Doctor Sheng is a fifth-rank official specially appointed by the emperor! Moreover, he is in the Ministry of Justice!"

He still felt unsatisfied and wanted to kick the man in official uniform in the chest again.

"Don't make anything serious." Sheng Junwei advised.

Xiao Tingxuan paused and slapped him instead.

The snapping sounds continued, and the official's face quickly swelled up like a pig's head.

But what chilled him more than the pain on his face was the rebuke from these dandies: "Do you know what the Ministry of Justice does? It's specifically to deal with corrupt officials, scum and scum like you!"

The corners of Sheng Junwei's mouth twitched slightly.

This person cursed quite harshly, even including herself in the curse.

He had also participated in many of the world's dirty deeds.

But no one was killed.

There was quite a commotion here, and since Sheng Junwei and her group arrived with such fanfare, it naturally attracted a lot of people to watch the fun.

The cries for help in the yard and the scene of the county magistrate being beaten made some enthusiastic people run directly to report to the police.

Soon, the magistrate of Nan De County came hurriedly with a group of officials.

Sheng Junwei threw the token directly over.

The angry county magistrate took the token and examined it for a long time, then knelt on the ground: "Sheng... Lord Sheng?"

As the magistrate of a large county close to the capital, he was naturally more informed than the county magistrate and had long heard of the famous female doctor in the capital.

Now this doctor not only came to Nande County in person, but also taught the county magistrate a lesson in public, which undoubtedly shows that the county magistrate had behaved inappropriately.

As the head of Nan De County, he knew that he could not perceive the details of every corner of the world, especially the beggars who seemed to blend into the street scene and stretched out their trembling hands to passers-by.

To him, they were insignificant.

In order to maintain the decency and order of Nande County, he even drove away all the beggars who were regarded as "stains".

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he was interrupted by the words of the county magistrate beside him, reminding him that these seemingly humble lives were also the people of Nande County. Although begging was not glorious, it was their only way out in this world.

To deprive them of it by force is tantamount to pushing them into the abyss of despair.

The county magistrate felt guilty and finally gave up this cruel idea.

Over the years, he worked diligently and with his unremitting efforts, Nande County gradually prospered under his governance and was finally promoted to a large county.

He was full of expectations, thinking that this political achievement would become a solid stepping stone for his career advancement. However, he was struck by a bolt from the blue: the collusion between the county magistrate and the kidnapping gang was exposed, which was like a basin of cold water that extinguished all his hopes.

This is not only a huge damage to his political achievements, but also a irony of his poor judgment of people.

After the kidnapping incident occurred, the case was quickly taken over by the Ministry of Justice, which dispatched a special commissioner to supervise the investigation and was responsible for returning the innocent children to their families one by one.

Sheng Junwei chose to withdraw temporarily, and left in a carriage with Old Man Wang and his son, returning to the county town with Rouer.

"Doctor Sheng."

She turned around to look for the source of the voice, and saw the girl in blue looking at her with a smile.
