After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 466: Being clever but being misled by cleverness

At this moment, the county magistrate truly realized what a wrong move he had made and what a stupid thing he had done.

He knew that the emperor favored Prince Zheng, but he thought that people in the royal family valued reputation, and if he stood there, he would definitely be able to see Prince Zheng.

Once he meets Prince Zheng, he can coax him with sweet words and achieve his goal.

But he forgot that the emperor was standing behind Prince Zheng.

Once the emperor finds out what he has done, even if there is no waterfall, he will not end up well.

"I, that's not what I meant."

He held onto his mentor's hand and finally managed to stand steady. "I just wanted to meet Prince Zheng."

What to do now?

If the emperor knew what he had done, his career would be over.

When Baozi was about to mock him a few more times, a large group of people suddenly rushed over.

This group of people protected the county magistrate behind them and glared at Baozi.

"What are you talking about, Prince Zheng or not, get out of Quanzhou right now!"

"If you dare to insult the county magistrate again, we will beat you to death!"

Baozi laughed instead of getting angry, "The county magistrate is truly a good official in Quanzhou, deeply loved by the people."

The county magistrate felt a darkness before his eyes.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard what the people said and suddenly wanted to faint.

The people were extremely angry, and some even pushed Baozi.

"Hurry up and tell your Prince Zheng to come out and see our county magistrate. How dare a mere prince treat our county magistrate like this? Do you believe we will kill all of you right now?"

"In Quanzhou, our county magistrate is the heaven. It is your honor if he wants to see you. You should kneel before him."

"Really?" Zheng Xingguang, accompanied by Hua Yun and Shangguan Quan, stood at the stairs on the second floor.

He looked down at the county magistrate and his men coldly, "Quanzhou County Magistrate, do you think so too?"

The county magistrate was so frightened that he knelt before him and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please understand, Prince Zheng, I absolutely did not have such intentions, nor did I instigate the people to do such a thing."

"You dare to make us, the county magistrate, kneel down and kowtow? Are you tired of living?" the people shouted.

Some angry people wanted to rush in and beat Zheng Xingguang.

He was kicked hard and flew away by the secret guard who suddenly appeared.

"Oh!"

After being knocked to the ground, these civilians were unable to get up for a long time.

This scene made the angry people's expressions freeze, and then they all stepped back.

Anger turned to fear.

These people will kill people.

"If you insult someone in the royal family, you'll be beheaded." Hua Yun said these harsh words with a grin on her face.

"Prince Zheng is a member of the royal family. Not only did you insult him, you also threatened to beat him to death."

"According to the rules, your entire family will be beheaded."

It seems that someone is plotting against the county magistrate.

But the county magistrate deserved it.

When the people heard this, they were terrified and wanted to run away.

But they were caught one by one by the secret guards and thrown into the corner of the inn.

"Anyone who dares to run will have his legs broken!" the secret guard threatened.

The people all huddled in the corner, trembling and deeply regretting what they had just done.

"It's none of our business. It's really none of our business. Someone gave us money to help the county magistrate while he was standing here."

"Yes, yes, someone bribed us. We didn't do this willingly."

Hua Yun scoffed, "You all said it, someone bribed you."

"You knew it was something you couldn't do, yet you still tried to do it, even threatening to kill members of the royal family."

"Even if I kill you, no one will dare to say a word for you."

No one else can be as stupid as these people.

They also dared to insult and threaten to beat and kill members of the royal family at will.

A fishy-sweet taste surged in the county magistrate's throat, which he swallowed.

If he still doesn't know that he is being plotted against, then he has lived in vain for decades.

Who would use such means to harm him at this time?

The county magistrate thought of many people, but still couldn't figure out who was the one who could harm him.

And the most important thing now is to get the forgiveness of Prince Zheng, so that he will have the opportunity to resolve other things.

"Prince Zheng, it's my fault for not teaching me well."

He bowed deeply to Zheng Xingguang, extremely humble, and said, "I will definitely discipline the people well in the future, and this kind of thing will never happen again."

Zheng Xingguang chuckled twice, "Quanzhou County Magistrate, you don't think that I'm young and can be fooled at will, do you?"

"How could a child from the royal family be easily fooled?" Hua Yun tapped her forehead lightly with her folding fan, a puzzled look on her face.

Shangguan Quan said quietly, "No one in the royal family is simple, even the children are not simple."

Hua Yun let out a sigh of relief, as if suddenly realizing something. "Look at me! After hearing what the Quanzhou County Magistrate said, I actually forgot such an important point."

Shangguan Quan said, "Perhaps in the eyes of the Quanzhou County Magistrate, even though Prince Zheng is a member of the royal family, he is just a child and can be easily deceived."

Hua Yun was surprised, "No way? No way? No way?"

Shangguan Quan squinted at him, "Why not?"

"This is the territory of the Quanzhou County Magistrate. If he does something, who would know?"

"You two!" The county magistrate was sweating profusely, wishing that time could go back.

"I absolutely do not have such thoughts. Please stop talking."

Hua Yun looked down at him, "Quanzhou County Magistrate, you were wrong from the very beginning."

"You looked down on Prince Zheng because he was just a child, and you even thought about plotting against him, but you forgot that the Emperor was standing behind Prince Zheng."

"Why bother talking to such a person?" Zheng Xingguang said impatiently. "The secret guards will report my case to the Emperor."

"When the Emperor finds out what the Quanzhou County Magistrate has done, he won't be able to keep his official hat."

Hua Yun laughed, "I forgot. To ensure your safety, the Emperor sent special secret guards to protect you and report everything you encountered."

"Prince Zheng, the emperor is really good to you."

Zheng Xingguang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop talking like that here."

Hua Yun shrugged.

When the county magistrate heard this, his legs went weak and he almost couldn't kneel down. How could this be?

"Quanzhou County Magistrate, congratulations on seeking your own death." Shangguan Quan said sarcastically.

"If you hadn't done this today, you wouldn't have blocked your own path."

Suddenly, the county magistrate's eyes rolled back and he fainted, as if he could not bear such a great shock.

"You fainted so quickly?" Hua Yun curled her lips. "We barely even said a few words before you fainted. You're such a coward."

He looked at the trembling legal advisors and said, "Carry your county magistrate back. Someone will come to deal with this matter later."

Shangguan Quan said, "You better think carefully. Life or death depends on this one."

The lawyer and his men hurriedly carried the county magistrate away.

They regretted it.
