A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince

The secret guard brought back the news an hour and a half later.

Your Highness, the magistrate of Shuangfeng County is a 28-year-old Jinshi who passed the imperial examinations in the Jiazi year of the Imperial Dragon. His name is Zhu Hongyu. His nephew, Zhu Zihua, is 19 years old. Because his father died young, he has a grandmother who dotes on him and protects him. She unreasonably favors and dotes on him whenever he's involved. Therefore, she often uses her position as magistrate to bully men and women and extort protection money.

Some of my fellow readers might be wondering, "How can a 19-year-old be so bearded?" Actually, Zhu Zihua heard a storyteller say, "A man without a beard doesn't have to work hard." A man needs a beard to be rewarded for his work. So, you understand.

-

Sometimes when the county magistrate found out, he would secretly beat up his nephew and then go to the nephew's house to apologize and pay compensation.

I can’t let my mother know about this. If the old lady knew, she would cry, make a scene, or even hang herself. She would even go to people’s doorsteps and curse them. The people being bullied didn’t dare to refute me because it was my mother, the county magistrate.

Hearing this, everyone sighed.

Siyu, this is the kind of old people that are annoying. They always take advantage of their age and use having children as an excuse.

The princess found Siyu's angry look funny.

Girl, don’t you think it’s unfair?

Yes! Siyu replied, it is obvious that a mother is kind and her son is filial, and brothers are respectful to their younger brothers. How can this be possible for a mother to use the grace of giving birth to her children to threaten them?

Princess, girl, not all parents are like this. There are good parents and malicious and unfilial younger generations. People are different. Don't treat all elderly people as monsters just because you have been hurt.

By the way, Master, do you know? The secret guard said that what was even more ridiculous about this old lady was that her eldest son was an illegitimate child born to her childhood sweetheart, while her youngest son was the child of her legitimate husband.

His husband used to be a capable hunter in the village. He lived a wealthy life and even attended a private school for a few years. Since he had a son, he personally taught him to read and write because Zhu's father noticed that his wife favored the eldest son.

The old lady's eldest son, born to her childhood sweetheart, had also been sent to a private school. However, he was a failure, just like his father. He was lazy and gluttonous. He couldn't concentrate on his studies, and spent his days thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun, so he gave up studying.

County Magistrate Zhu was a very hardworking boy, and passed the examination for a scholar at the age of thirteen. Before he could take the examination for a juren, his father died unexpectedly while he was hunting in the mountains.

"So this old lady, for various reasons, clearly favored her eldest son, born to her childhood sweetheart. As for her youngest son, born to her husband, she simply disliked him and wanted to control him.

Finally, he got what he wanted and used all his tricks to control his youngest son. He also made things difficult for his youngest son and asked him to help his eldest son. Unexpectedly, his eldest son was also a loser. He tried to climb over the wall of a young widow, was caught, beaten and crippled, and finally died of his injuries.

The old lady blamed all her resentment on her youngest son, thinking that if the youngest son hadn't studied, the eldest son wouldn't have died from his injuries. If the eldest son had studied, he wouldn't have ended up like this. It was all because of this rebellious son, who was just as unpleasant as her father.

In the hall, "Uncle, uncle, you can't ignore me. Grandma, grandma, where have you been? Uncle is going to beat me." Zhu Zihua cried in the courtroom, tears streaming down his face. The people in the hall saw this young man of eighteen or nineteen sobbing and crying, snot and tears streaming down his face. It was really shameful and unbearable to watch!

The crowd didn't feel sorry for him and just pointed fingers at him. All those who were persecuted by him knelt on the ground and begged the adults for justice.

My Lord, you have to do something for me. My family owns a wine-making shop on East Street. This fellow took a fancy to it and insisted that I sell it to him at a low price. I disagreed, so he hired someone to smash my shop and drove my family out of the city, forbidding us to enter.

Sir, please help me! We are all small vendors in Shuangfeng County. Your nephew goes to the stalls every day to collect protection fees. He collects 50 to 100 coins from each stall every day.

Mrs. Damin is the madam of Cuiyan Tower. Your nephew owes us a total of two thousand taels of silver.

I am the owner of Fuxing Tower, and your nephew owes me 1,500 taels of silver.

My Lord, I am a villager from Yangma Village, Shuangfeng County. My daughter was abducted by your nephew and taken into your mansion. I don't know how she is doing now. Please, my Lord, take care of my daughter...

The magistrate's face darkened as he listened, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. He had never imagined that even though he had tried to keep a close eye on his nephew and to keep him from going out, he had still done so many bad things.

Everyone looked at the county magistrate's dark face, not knowing whether he would side with his nephew or seek justice for everyone.

At this tense moment, a loud cry suddenly rang out. "Oh my God, why are you killing me? How could such an unfilial son exist? He's forcing me, an old woman, to die! Oh my God, why don't you scare me and strike this rebellious son with lightning? How could he do this? Just because he's an official, he doesn't care about his own mother anymore! How could he even spare his own nephew? Are you worthy of your elder brother who died for you?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at this. Why had this old woman come again? The people who had filed a complaint heard the old woman's cries. It was over. This case was doomed. The county magistrate would surely deal with it hastily and perfunctorily. The silver owed was returned, the shop owed was returned, and the arrested girl was released. That was it. Incidents and scenes like this happened five or six times every month.

However, I'm afraid this time will not end well.

The old lady's abacus calculations were wrong because they hit a wall today.

The old lady walked into the lobby of the county government office, pointed at the county magistrate and started cursing. "You ungrateful bastard! I raised you for nothing. Your eldest brother only has this one child, and you're still pushing him to death. What did he do wrong? He just liked a shop, didn't he? You just gave him money. It's just a little protection money, isn't it? There's nothing wrong with that. This is all to increase the county's income. Besides, he just liked a little bitch, didn't he? What's wrong with you, the nephew of a dignified county magistrate, taking in a few concubines? They are blessed to be my eldest grandson's concubines.

The old man who had filed the complaint retorted harshly, "Bullshit! Whose daughter would be willing to be your family's concubine? Our daughters can marry upright and be the principal wife. Why should we be your concubines? You are robbing me."

The old lady looked at it and was surprised! Someone dared to question and refute her.

He immediately cursed, "Who the hell are you? You're just a peasant, and you dare to be so rude to the county magistrate's mother? Someone, get him out."

The county magistrate looked at the old lady's unreasonable behavior and said, "That's enough. Who let the old lady out? Didn't I tell you to take her to the backyard and not let her out?"
