The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

The group embarked on the next journey.

After one night, Yongheng seemed to become more attentive. He used to be secretly nice to Jingyan and Qing'er, and was very arrogant.

Now, I can't wait to ask them if they are hungry, thirsty or tired every now and then.

Whenever he passed by a place, he would ride his horse around to buy snacks and fruits, and look for fresh notebooks for the two of them, for fear that they would be bored.

Jingyan naturally knew why her brother had changed. After all, she had witnessed Yongheng's confession with her own eyes last night.

So Yongheng lifted the curtain and asked again, and Jingyan started to howl and tease Qing'er.

This brother and sister made Qing'er's face red and she couldn't cool down the whole morning.

Passing by Rong County.

The people are seeing off the outgoing county magistrate.

"Come, come, the magistrate has resigned. Let's go and see him off."

"Yes, yes, go and send him off."

"Look, there it is, it hasn't gone far!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's over there!"

I didn't expect to see the county magistrate stepping down and the people seeing him off.

It seems that the magistrate of Rong County is truly a good official loved by the people. Several people dismounted to inquire about the situation here.

The emperor was very pleased: "It seems that besides the bad official in Meihua Town, there are still other good officials. It is really not easy for this county magistrate to leave office and be warmly welcomed by so many people."

I saw the people surrounding a plaque with four big characters "Five Great Heavens and Earths" written on it. It was the gift given to the county magistrate by the people.

The representative of the people took control of the situation, "Come on, come on, everyone, be quiet for a moment."

Hearing someone seeing him off, a fat and big-eared man got down from the sedan chair, smiling and looking very satisfied.

I didn't expect that these unruly people would still see him off after he left office. It seems that my daily "care" for them was very useful.

Looking at the plaques held by the people, the magistrate was even more satisfied.

Yongheng frowned immediately upon seeing this man: "I can't believe this county magistrate can actually receive such high praise from the Five Great Worlds."

Erkang finally found a way to speak and began to lecture him: "Yongheng, I'm not saying this, but you're just judging people by their appearance. You can't doubt that the magistrate is a bad official just because he looks wealthy, right?"

Jingyan glanced at Erkang, who was fond of teaching others, and waited to see how Erkang would slap him in the face.

Qing'er shook her head slightly and spoke up for Yongheng, "If the magistrate is so generous and well-fed because his people are wealthy, then look at these people. They're all wearing coarse linen clothes, some even with patches on them. They don't look like they're well-off at all."

A few people looked at the villagers carefully and found that it was true. Then the county magistrate was very suspicious.

At this time, the village representative continued to speak.

"Sir Magistrate, this is a plaque specially commissioned for you by the people of Rong County. As you are about to leave office, we would like to give it to you as a present. Please accept it."

When the magistrate heard this, he smiled even more happily and said "good" three times in a row.

Erkang was still unconvinced and signaled to everyone with his eyes: See, what I said is right, this is a good official.

Qing'er still didn't quite believe that this county magistrate could be a benevolent ruler.

Fu Kangan also echoed in a low voice: "This fat head and big ears look like a good official at all."

Ziwei was a little angry when she heard this: "Why are you judging people by appearances? Maybe he really is a virtuous ruler? It's obvious that the smiles of the people who are seeing him off are all from the heart, and they're just short of beating drums and gongs to send him off."

Jingyan almost vomited after hearing Ziwei's words. This saint really thinks everything is good.

The emperor's face gradually darkened during the discussion among them.

Jingyan had something to say, "If he truly was a good official who loved his people like his own children, how could the people welcome him back? They should be reluctant to see him go. It actually makes me think the people are happy because he's leaving, and everyone is finally free from suffering."

Ziwei frowned: "Jingyan, we still have to look at others with kindness. It's not good to have too dark a mentality."

Jing Yan was too lazy to argue with a fool, so he closed his eyes and acted like a scoundrel: "Ah, right, right!"

"You!" Ziwei's eyes turned red with anger, and she looked at the emperor pitifully.

However, the emperor had a gloomy expression and was staring at the magistrate in the crowd.

As if to verify Jingyan's words, the people's representatives continued to shout.

"Now, please have the county representatives recite the contents of the magistrate's 'five great worlds' and 'virtuous policies'—"

Everyone cheered and applauded again, and the magistrate smiled even more triumphantly, looking like a villain who had achieved success.

The emperor's face turned even darker. He had guessed the people's true intention, which should be similar to what Jingyan said.

"My Lord Magistrate, when you first took office, it was all about wealth and luxury. When you lived in the government office, it was all about debauchery and extravagance."

As soon as these words were spoken, the magistrate's face changed suddenly, and Ziwei and others' faces also turned bad, but the representative of the people was still talking.

"When you were in court, you were 'dark and chaotic'. When the people were wronged, you were 'hatred and resentful'. Today, you have stepped down, and we are truly 'thankful'."

After the representative finished speaking, the people applauded and cheered, truly happy to get rid of this corrupt official.

Jingyan smiled at everyone. Isn't this happiness from the heart?

When the magistrate heard this, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. These unruly people actually came to cause trouble when he was leaving office. He was still too good to them.

He raised his hand and cursed: "You! You ungrateful and unruly people, I've been too kind to you! How dare you insult me like this when I'm leaving office.

I tell you what! When the new magistrate takes office, he will definitely eat you up completely and leave no bones uneaten! Just wait for your retribution!

The magistrate's words aroused the people's anger, and they cursed the magistrate for his viciousness and the officials for protecting each other and oppressing the people.

The emperor, who had endured for a long time, could no longer bear it.

"Emin!"

"exist!"

"Immediately send someone to escort this 'County Magistrate' to the prefectural government and have him thrown into jail! Gather evidence of his crimes and report back quickly!"

"According to the order!"

E Min immediately ordered people to arrest the magistrate.

The magistrate was still struggling and shouting angrily.

"Who are you to impersonate the Emperor? You deserve the death penalty!"

Yongheng snorted coldly: "Whether it is an impersonation or not is not up to you to decide. Regardless, you are guilty of a capital crime today."

Erkang stepped forward and said, "Since you don't know, let me introduce you. This is..."

"Erkang! Why are you still talking nonsense with him? Just arrest him immediately. He doesn't even recognize the Emperor, Master Ji, or Uncle Fu Liu. I think the only person he knows is Lord Qian."

The magistrate was confused, "Who is Mr. Qian?"

Yongqi angrily scolded: "Mr. Qian, that's you! You are corrupt and pervert the law, living a life of luxury and extravagance. You don't even understand what Princess Huanzhu said. How can you be called a parent official?"

This Yongqi is really loved, he really loves Xiaoyanzi to death.

Jingyan held his forehead helplessly. It was very difficult to keep his identity secret when he was with this group of people.

She talks about keeping a low profile on tour, but she's either exposing her identity or on the way to exposing her identity. She'd better hurry up and learn some Qinggong so she can run faster when she's assassinated.
