Chapter 65 Accountability

This soldier is called Huang Xin, a close confidant of Liu Hengchang. He came to Nanyang County from the Liu family with Liu Hengchang. In the past few years, I have watched my master be squeezed out, and I have long been dissatisfied.

Liu Hengchang scolded sternly, but Huang Xin was not too afraid and whispered: "I am thinking about the general. Our third battalion has always been suppressed by the first and second battalions. It is rare to come out to suppress bandits. The first battalion is the one who steals the limelight. Our third battalion is the one who steals the limelight." They obviously contributed a lot, but they were just supporting. After the bandits are suppressed, we will discuss their merits. If the first battalion eats meat, we can only drink soup."

Liu Hengchang's face completely darkened: "According to what you said, General Meng of the Second Battalion would be even more angry. He didn't even drink the soup."

Huang Xin was immediately speechless.

Liu Hengchang stared at Huang Xin: "Please listen to me and remember it. We are paid as soldiers, and the princess spends money to support us, so we have to listen to the princess's orders. The princess asked us to stay in the military camp, and we will take care of this errand." Do it carefully and thoroughly, and there will be no mistakes.”

"The first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion are all soldiers' camps, and they are all the princess's people. There is no difference. If you dare to instigate me again, just get out of here and go back to the Liu family."

Huang Xin was sprayed with disgrace and knelt down to plead guilty.

Liu Hengchang said coldly: "Kneel down for two hours and then get up."

Then, lead people to patrol the military camp.

Huang Xin knelt there with a bitter look on his face, stretched out his hand and slapped himself twice: "I told you to talk too much!"

Liu Hengchang looked calm and collected on the surface, but he was actually a little frustrated in his heart.

A man who doesn't want to lead troops to fight and make achievements. However, this time the princess made it clear that the first battalion would be the main force in suppressing the bandits. There were a total of two hundred people from the third battalion. This manpower was not enough to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits. They could only watch Qin Zhan wielding his long knife to kill the bandits.

"General Liu, this corpse is hanging outside the village. It smells bad. Do you want to dig a hole and bury it?"

The soldiers around him were so choked by the stench that they opened their mouths and asked.

Liu Hengchang came to his senses and said, "Keep hanging on. The princess has said that the corpse will be exposed for ten days, not even a day less."

This was done not because the princess was cruel, but to deter the bandits and all restless people in Nanyang County. Don’t think that the princess can be bullied at a young age!

Liu Hengchang actually admired the princess's skills from the bottom of his heart. A ten-year-old girl personally led the troops to suppress the bandits. She had the courage and courage to kill the bandits herself in front of all the soldiers.

Especially the shot that killed Zhu Yidao was as powerful as lightning. The word of mouth among the soldiers has become more and more magical.

The princess quickly established her prestige in the military camp.

This prestige is not because of Nanyang Wang Yize, or because of being short-tongued with military pay, but because of human nature's admiration and awe for the strong.

……

In the Li County Yamen Hall, Magistrate Cai lost his previous coolness and suaveness and stood with a cowered look on his face.

Chen Zhuo took the seat, followed closely by Yang Zheng. This was explained by the previous princess. Yang Zheng was proficient in Daliang law and was the judge of the palace. When he came to Li County to hold Magistrate Cai accountable, he must bring Yang Zheng with him.

Yang Zheng didn't like to go on official business. Not to mention the exhaustion of traveling and traveling, he still had to do errands that would offend others. However, due to his duty, he had to come after the princess gave an order.

After riding in the carriage for three days, his back became stiff. After resting for a day and a night, I finally regained my composure.

"Magistrate Cai, do you know your guilt?" Chen Changshi's eyes were cold and his voice was fierce and authoritative.

Magistrate Cai was so happy behind his back that he didn't even dare to let out a fart in front of Chen Zhuo. He lowered his head and apologized: "Chen Changshi, please calm down. I know I was wrong. That day, Wu Changsui and three people were killed by bandits. I should go to the palace in person to apologize."

"Xiaguan was thinking that it was spring plowing and the county government could not leave people. He was careless and confused, so he only wrote a letter to apologize. It was definitely not intentional for neglecting the princess. Please see Chen Changshi for the fact that Xiaguan has been working diligently for several years. Please beg for mercy and explanation for your subordinates."

Nanyang County has 14 counties under its jurisdiction. Li County, with a population of 6,000, is just the lower county. However, Li County paid enough taxes and received excellent results in all evaluations every year. Magistrate Cai said this with confidence. Chen Zhuo looked him up and down, and suddenly sneered: "Magistrate Cai, Li County is indeed well governed, but you know exactly whose credit it is, and I also know it well."

Magistrate Cai's expression froze.

He usually drinks tea, reads books and raises birds, and his life is very pleasant. All the trivial matters in the county government were handed over to Master Cai Ye.

Master Cai is his distant cousin, who is diligent and capable. Take care of the county government's internal affairs properly. How did Chen Changshi know about such things?

Chen Zhuo's eyes were as bright as a flashlight, as if he had understood Magistrate Cai's doubts, and he said calmly: "When the prince was alive, all county offices had manpower stationed. Not to mention the lobby of your county office, there were even a few concubines in the backyard. It can’t be hidden from the eyes and ears of the prince.”

"Magistrate Cai, you were quite respectful before, but now you are bullying the young princess and deliberately neglecting her. Even if the princess tolerates you, I will never tolerate it."

In the last sentence, the volume was suddenly raised and the voice was fierce.

Magistrate Cai's face turned pale, his legs softened, and he knelt down.

At this time, Yang Zheng also tightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Magistrate Cai has committed a crime of gross disrespect. He may be fined a salary or dismissed from his post."

Magistrate Cai was almost in tears. No longer caring about his dignity, he cried bitterly and confessed his crime.

After a lot of hard work, he passed the exam and spent a lot of money to fill the gap from the official department. If you lose your official position, the loss of reputation is secondary. The most important thing is that your reputation is ruined, and it will be difficult to fill the official vacancy in the future.

"Chen Changshi, the princess is here."

Chen Zhuo swallowed the scolding and stood up to greet the princess. Ever since Qiu Yuanshang was kicked out, Yang Zheng became more honest and immediately got up and followed him.

Magistrate Cai was finally not confused. He quickly wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves, lowered his head and followed behind, and soon arrived at the gate of the county government office.

"I have met the princess." Everyone bowed and held their hands.

The princess's voice sounded: "No courtesy, stay on your own terms."

A slightly childish girl's voice reached her ears.

Magistrate Cai quietly raised his head and saw an extremely beautiful little girl. This is the princess. The princess is noble and heroic, but she is young and not tall, and her facial features are kind.

Magistrate Cai's confused and uneasy heart calmed down a little.

The little princess must be much easier to fool than Chen Changshi.

He put up a brave face today and finally passed the test in front of him.

Magistrate Cai had a wishful thinking and bowed his head to welcome the princess into the back hall.

As soon as the princess took her seat, Magistrate Cai knelt down, wiped his eyes, and burst into tears: "Princess, I was confused for a moment and acted negligently. I did not go to Nanyang Prince's Mansion to plead guilty, and I neglected the princess. Please, county." Lord, please spare me this time."

"I will never dare to do that again. From now on, I will definitely treat the princess as my God. Whatever the princess says, I will do whatever I want."

While crying and begging for mercy, he moved his knees forward, climbed to the feet of the princess, and pressed his face against the hem of the princess's skirt.

Everyone: "..."

Pooh!

damn thing!

shameless!
