"Cuckoo..."

The man in purple was listening intently when he heard the person behind him laugh. He turned around and asked, "Chun Shou, what are you laughing at?"

Chunshou quickly stepped forward and explained, "I just think the people of Qingshi Town are quite interesting. They actually want to let a woman become the county magistrate..."

"Since ancient times, there has indeed been no woman who can be a queen, but rules are dead, and people are alive."

After the purple-robed man finished speaking, Chunshou immediately bent down and said, "Fourth Master is truly far-sighted. I, a servant, am quite clueless..."

At this moment, the sound of "going to court" was heard, and the people rushed forward to watch.

The first person brought out was Wang Pingzhi, and the next people brought out were the people in the prison who were locked up by Wang Pingzhi.

Among them are Zhao Wude, Ouyang Hua, Ning Yu...

When these people came out, they almost filled the entire courtroom with people standing or lying down, because some of them had been tortured, and although they were treated by Governor Liu, they could only lie down in court.

The scene was in uproar, with public complaints rising one after another.

"The crooked official Wang Pingzhi is killing us common people. Behead him!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

……

"quiet!"

Liu Yicha was extremely heartbroken when he saw this scene. Every testimony pointed directly to Wang Pingzhi.

"I don't have any!" Wang Pingzhi shouted excitedly, "I'm already the county magistrate. How could I be interested in their little money?"

Xia Qingqing laughed at this and said, "Of course you like it. When Master Ouyang kindly gave you fifty taels to go to the capital to take the imperial examination, what did you do?"

Wang Pingzhi's face suddenly changed when the old story was mentioned, but Xia Qingqing didn't want to let him go. She continued, "You really have self-respect. You might not accept the fifty taels. Even if you have to beg for food all the way to the capital, you will still go."

"Or if he accepted the money and passed the imperial examination, shouldn't he immediately send someone to return it?"

"But you didn't have either of these options! Not only did you accept the money, you also secretly resented Ouyang Hua. You resented his hypocritical appearance and his prominent family background!"

"I didn't!" Wang Pingzhi's face flushed red. If he hadn't been held down by someone, he would have rushed up and torn Xia Qingqing to pieces.

"You did!" Xia Qingqing sneered, "Not only are you jealous of others, you're also greedy for money. On your first day in Qinghe Town, you gave the Ouyang family a gold brick. It was actually a setup."

"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Pingzhi was furious because his thoughts were exposed.

"Who would dare accept a gold brick from a county magistrate? They would have sent it back. But there's nothing in your box. If I hadn't ruined your plan that day, County Magistrate Wang might have received a large gold brick on the first day."

Everyone was horrified when they heard this. Chun Shou said angrily, "What a sinister and cunning Wang Pingzhi! He's so... so evil!"

"Those corrupt officials at court, damn it!" the purple-robed man's face darkened. "They're really full of tricks!"

Looking at Liu Yicha in the court, his expression was even more frightening. When someone presented Huang Ziqiu's confession, he picked up the gavel and banged it.

"You're such a jerk, Wang Pingzhi! You're already thinking about making money on your first day in office. You've turned such a great town like Qingshan into a mess. I wonder who recommended you!"

Next, everyone confirmed that the merchants were forced to hand over money, ordinary people were beaten, and money allocated by the court was embezzled.

"Such a major incident should be dealt with immediately."

Liu Yicha was extremely angry, but Wang Pingzhi below laughed and said, "You can't kill me. I'm the future Duke of the County!"

"Master?"

The common people were stunned. Isn’t the Duke of Xian a royal relative?

This time I really can't kill him.

Liu Yicha's face immediately turned cold, and he turned to look at the people around him. He saw a personal guard whisper something, and his expression became even uglier.

"What? Are you scared? I tell you, if you offend me, you offend the current emperor!" Wang Pingzhi was not afraid of these things. Just because the princess loved him, he would not die even if he killed someone.

Who made the Ninth Prince and the royal family treat this little princess unfairly?

"Afraid?" Liu Yicha burst into laughter. "Go ask around and see who I, Liu Yicha, have ever been afraid of! If I don't kill you today, I'll be unworthy of the mission the current emperor has given me as governor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the people cheered and shouted: Governor Liu is mighty!

The purple-robed man also nodded and praised, "As expected of Liu Yicha, he didn't let... didn't let the people down."

"Sir Liu is, but he is the governor appointed by our current emperor, so he must be a good man."

After hearing Chun Shou's words, the man in purple laughed and looked at Liu Yicha with admiration in his eyes.

Just when everyone thought the case would proceed normally, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the door, and several horses came rushing in.

Several guards armed with swords leaped from their horses and rushed through the crowd into the court. Li Yicha roared, "Who is trespassing into the court?!"

Several sword-wielding guards bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Liu!"

Liu Yi knew at a glance that this was someone from the palace, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go to the back hall and rest first. I will come to you after I finish the case."

"Sir Liu!" One of the guards immediately stepped forward and said, "We have an urgent written order here. Please allow us to report it."

Liu Yicha had no other choice but to leave the court and hurried to the back court.

Now it was the common people's turn to panic. Qingfeng snorted coldly in the crowd, "It's the guards from the palace. It seems that something has changed with Wang Pingzhi."

"Ah? The palace! Which palace?" Mulan came to wait early in the morning, but she couldn't accept such an answer.

"If I'm not mistaken, the badges on their bodies belong to the Ninth Prince's Mansion." Qingfeng said.

The purple-robed man not far away raised an eyebrow, looked at Qingfeng's back, and said, "I didn't expect that Qinghe Town is really full of hidden talents. You can even recognize the sign of the royal palace clearly."

"Fourth Master, there are more than just one hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Look over there..." Chunshou pointed at a white-bearded old man outside the court. The Fourth Master took one look and his eyes widened. He burst out laughing: "Is this... Shen Yue?"

"Exactly."

Chunshou didn't expect to see the former Prince's tutor here. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes and looked like he was not having a good life, but he was in high spirits, much better than when he was in the palace.

At this moment, Wang Qingyan anxiously urged: "Master Liang, please hurry up..."

"I'm coming."

Liang Qingshan was walking hurriedly and suddenly bumped into someone. He apologized repeatedly and said, "I'm so sorry, so sorry."

When he looked up, he saw the man in purple looking at him with a smile. His legs suddenly went weak and he said, "See...see..."
