I rely on gossip to save the country

The guards were also in a dilemma. They had just heard the little girl call herself a princess. Maybe she was really the little princess of their Nanyue Kingdom.

Moreover, the city lord didn't care about their lives or deaths, so they were happy that someone from the capital came to take care of them. So they symbolically tried to stop Xie Chuyue, then fell to the ground one after another and let Xie Chuyue leave.

Xie Chuyue curled her lips. These guards were quite considerate.

Afterwards, Xie Chuyue ignored the girl's angry eyes and directly dragged people into the mansion. By the way, she also slightly threatened the guards, and the guards obediently took them to find the city lord.

There wasn't a single bug in the City Lord's Mansion, it was kept spotlessly clean.

However, the flowers and plants in the City Lord's Mansion were a bit damaged, probably because they were eaten by insects some time ago.

Xie Chuyue was brought to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. Xie Chuyue's face darkened when he heard the sound of musical instruments outside the main hall.

The people of Yuecheng are suffering, but he, the city lord, is living a life of debauchery and pleasure in his mansion. Is he tired of being the city lord?

System: [Host, beat him up. How can such a person be qualified to be the city lord? ]

Xie Chuyue kicked open the door of the main hall. The people inside were frightened and immediately stopped singing and dancing. The man sitting in the main seat squinted at Xie Chuyue.

Xie Chuyue walked in. Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with disheveled clothes. He was holding two delicate beauties in his arms. There were also several beauties standing beside them. They were all dressed up. The beauties in his arms were drawing circles on the man's chest with their fingers.

Xie Chuyue was furious when she saw this. He took the salary from the court but did nothing. How could this person be qualified to be the Lord of Yuecheng?

Xie Chuyue took the sword from the guard beside her, rushed over angrily, and put the sword against the neck of the city lord Yu Chao.

Xie Chuyue was so fast that Yu Chao didn't have time to react. By the time he reacted, the sword was already on his neck. He was obviously terrified in his heart, but he said toughly, "How dare you to assassinate this city lord?"

Xie Chuyue's sword was pulling at Yu Chao's neck, and Yu Chao was so scared that he kept swallowing his saliva.

"Yu Chao, the Lord of Yuecheng, right? Be more confident and remove the word "bold". I just want to assassinate you." Xie Chuyue's tone was grim and she was extremely arrogant when she said this.

Yu Chao looked at the sword on his neck and stammered, "You, you, who are you? How dare you kill me?"

"Are you talking about me? I - Xie Chuyue!" After saying that, Xie Chuyue slowly took out the token she carried with her from her waist and waved it in front of her eyes.

After seeing it clearly, his face turned pale.

Yu Chao immediately knelt on the ground. Xie Chuyue's sword accidentally scratched Yu Chao's neck, but Yu Chao ignored the pain and quickly saluted, "Your subordinate greets the little princess."

After hearing the noise, the guards from the City Lord's Mansion who arrived were about to attack Xie Chuyue, but Yu Chao quickly stopped them.

It's not like he thinks his life is too long and he wants to kill the little princess.

Xie Chuyue grabbed Yu Chao by the collar and said, "Yu Chao, as the lord of a city, you are having fun here without caring about the safety of the people. What crime should you be punished for?"

Xie Chuyue was too lazy to talk nonsense with these idiots, and directly dragged Yu Chao towards the gate of the mansion. After they went out of the gate, she pointed at the black caterpillars on the street and said.

"Is this the so-called insect plague that you reported has been resolved?"

"You mean the people have returned to their normal lives?"

"You deceive your superiors and subordinates. As the Lord of Yuecheng, the parent official of the people of Yuecheng, you don't help the people solve their problems. You don't even know the most basic duty of being loyal to your duties. Are you worthy of this?"

Xie Chuyue became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and she started punching and kicking him. After all, he was the lord of a city, but instead of protecting the peace of the people in the city, he only knew how to live a life of debauchery in his mansion.

People like him should have been dealt with long ago.

When people passing by saw this, word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon, there were people surrounding them.

Seeing Xie Chuyue beating up the city lord, everyone felt refreshed. The emperor was far away and no one supported them. Now, finally someone could deal with the city lord.

But some people began to worry about Xie Chuyue and said, "Little girl, this is the city lord. If you offend him, he will retaliate against you. Little girl, why don't you go home quickly?"

"Yes, yes, it's enough that you beat him up. If you continue to make trouble, your family will be in trouble."

"Little girl, run quickly, we are all here to cover you."

Xie Chuyue was deeply moved by these words. The people here were really kind to the extreme. They were suffering themselves but could not bear to see others suffer with them.

"Uncles and aunts, don't worry. He doesn't dare to do anything to me. A higher-ranking official can suppress a person to death. My family's official position can suppress you, the city lord."

Yu Chao was beaten for a long time before he came to his senses. He was actually beaten by a fourteen-year-old princess, and the beating was so severe that he had no power to fight back. At this moment, Yu Chao felt scared.

"Please spare my life, little princess. I was confused for a moment. I will send soldiers to deal with the insects in the city and give you a satisfactory explanation."

She is worthy of being the favored little princess. With her strength proven, it would be unreasonable for her not to be favored.

When the people heard Yu Chao calling Xie Chuyue the little princess, they were all shocked. Everyone in the country knew that their Nanyue Kingdom had only one princess, and that was their little princess Xie Chuyue.

The little princess was fourteen years old, which was exactly the same as the girl in front of them. After everyone confirmed it, they all knelt down.

"We, the common people, pay our respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her Royal Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Xie Chuyue: ……… She didn’t want to reveal her identity at first, but now the whole Yuecheng knows about it. She must have hidden nothing.

"You useless piece of shit, why don't you just go? What are you standing there for?" Seeing Yu Chao admit his mistake, Xie Chuyue kicked him on the butt.

This person cannot be dealt with now, as the insect plague in Yuecheng must be resolved first, so he was asked to go and deal with it quickly, but he just knelt there and didn't move.

Yu Chao smiled bitterly, kneeling at Xie Chuyue's feet and said, "Princess, this insect plague cannot be completely dealt with. Even if it is cleaned up, it will come out again the next day. What can we do? Moreover, even if the ones in the city are dealt with, the ones in the rice fields cannot be dealt with."

Xie Chuyue pressed her brows in silence, "You haven't tried, how do you know that the rice fields can't be processed? If you put a few hundred chickens in, wouldn't they eat them all? If you collect all the food in the city and burn it, won't it be gone? Are you stupid?"

When Yu Chao heard the solution Xie Chuyue proposed, his eyes lit up, "Your Highness the Princess is right. I will go right away!"

Yu Chao said this and quickly got up to deal with the insect plague.

He was beaten so hard by Xie Chuyue that he fell down again just after he got up.

At this time, a young man came over from a distance. He frowned, his face was full of fatigue and sorrow. When he heard Xie Chuyue's method, he showed surprise on his face and walked forward to ask, "Letting chickens eat insects and using fire to burn the insects in the city, can we really completely eliminate these insects?"

Seeing that this person was so concerned about the insect plague, Xie Chuyue explained to him, "Chickens are the nemesis of insects. Even if there are a lot of insects, as long as you put chickens in, they will eat all the insects without damaging the rice fields. Anyway, you can't burn the rice fields with fire, right?"

The young man's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded, "You are quite smart, girl. Why didn't I think of that?"

Then he asked, "But how did the girl know that chickens can kill insects?"

Xie Chuyue held her forehead with her hand: "Don't your chickens eat bugs?"

Where did this noble young man come from? He doesn't even know the most basic common sense?

The young man smiled. He was just curious about how such a young girl knew all this. "Girl, if the city is set on fire, it will inevitably damage the houses of the people in the city!"

Xie Chuyue: Her IQ has been affected!!!

"Can't you just clear a large area and then set it on fire? I didn't ask you to burn every house or burn the whole street. You are a ***!

Really, have you become stupid from studying so much?"
