"People say that if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. You're so nervous and scared right now, I'm afraid you've done a lot of bad things, right?"

Facing Song Qingci's ridicule, Kuang Ni and Master Chen just lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Alright, I don't want to waste any more time with you. I brought you here to give you a chance. Whoever can seize this opportunity will survive."

"Your Highness, I am an official appointed by the court! Even if I have made any mistakes, only Your Majesty has the right to deal with it. Your Highness, you must not overstep your authority!" Kuang Ni's forehead was covered in sweat, and he couldn't wipe it off.

"This princess is going beyond her authority, what can you do to me?" Song Qingci really felt that Kuang Ni's brain was a little bit off. At this point, he was still talking to her about this.

If he really cared about His Majesty, would he have done these things?

"I wonder what opportunity the princess is talking about?" Master Chen was also afraid at this time, but he wanted to survive, so he wanted to grab it even if it was a straw.

"You're quite clever." Song Qingci looked at him. "I want to know who has the final say in Jiangnan."

In the entire Jiangnan region, the highest-ranking official was the prefect of Yangzhou.

Logically speaking, all the officials in Jiangnan should follow his lead.

However, the reality is not like this.

Her second aunt, Qi, was from the family of the Yangzhou prefect, so she knew a little about them.

Although the Qi family occupies the position of Yangzhou prefect, they are more like mascots that are praised by others.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to raise a daughter like Qi.

Whether it was the information they collected or everything they saw with their own eyes when they got here.

So far, they have not found the final boss.

Song Qingci didn't want to waste time checking, so it would be more convenient and quicker to just ask.

Before Master Chen could speak, Song Qingci interrupted, "Don't tell me you're the Yangzhou prefect. Just lie to others about this kind of thing. I just want to hear the truth, and you only have one chance."

The words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back by Master Chen.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Your Highness the Princess is indeed very shrewd. The Yangzhou prefect is indeed just a puppet. The one who can truly call the shots in Jiangnan is..."

"Chen Nian! Shut up! If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you!"

Kuang Ni suddenly interrupted Master Chen and tried to bump into him.

Fortunately, Luo Wei grabbed him and held him down at the first moment.

Instead of touching the corner of Master Chen's clothes, he slammed his knees onto the ground with a loud clanging sound.

"I didn't expect County Magistrate Kuang to be so loyal!" Song Qingci remained calm, not showing the slightest surprise at this sudden incident.

"Princess Anguo, you are indeed powerful, but Jiangnan is not a peaceful place. If you are not careful, you will be overturned. I am a humble official with low status and my words do not carry weight. But there will always be people you cannot shake. How about we just let this matter go? Let's all take a step back and keep things safe. What do you think?!"

Kuang Ni is still very confident in the people behind him.

Over the years, even if the imperial court had doubts, it sent wave after wave of people, but what happened in the end?

Isn't it still just a lot of thunder but little rain?

Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, and that person is still that person.

There is no change at all.

"I don't think so!"

There was no trace of anger in Song Qingci's voice. If Shan Li were there, she would have known from her micro-expressions that she was on the verge of anger.
