spend time

The three of them, Mo Xian Cheng, couldn't sleep tonight, so they quietly got together after the third watch.

Mo Xian Cheng was still a little aggrieved and whispered: "What do you think of today's events?"

"The princess is so young and ruthless, killing people is like cutting melons and vegetables." The county lieutenant was frightened by what he heard during the day, and his voice was trembling: "That bitch Cai Ye, with the princess's support, I Where can I find him?"

The chief clerk was not much better, and he wiped his forehead with lingering fear: "I'm still sweating on my forehead. Forget it, there has to be a county magistrate anyway, and if it's not Cai Ye, there will be someone else. Let's be more honest!"

The two gave in, and in turn advised Magistrate Mo: "Actually, Magistrate Cai only stamped the seal before, and Master Cai didn't do all the errands. Let's just treat it as before, and it was Master Cai who sealed it himself." Just a seal."

Mo Xian Cheng: "..."

Mo Xian Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a sentence after a while: "It's okay, let's be at peace these days."

Wait until the princess leaves Li County first, and then give Cai Ye a leg up on that bitch.

The county captain and the chief clerk looked at each other. After leaving Mo Xian Cheng's study, he went to Xian Wei's study and continued to whisper.

"Cheng Mo is not convinced and wants to compete with Magistrate Cai. When the time comes, he will definitely draw in you and me to help. Which side are you going to take?"

"I don't take any side, I just work and receive my salary honestly. I'm not stupid, what's the benefit of standing up for him? Could it be that if I beat Cai Ye, the county magistrate can't do it for me. You can see with your own eyes how powerful the princess is. No, we can't afford to provoke him. It's better to be honest and peaceful."

"That makes sense. That's it! No matter who wins, we won't lose!"

The two people who were determined to fight to the end gave each other a high-five and successfully formed an alliance.

……

In another yard, Chen Zhuo and Chen Changshi were writing a letter to their friend Feng Wenming, telling Feng Wenming everything that happened today.

At the end of writing, the pen tip paused and added another paragraph.

"The princess's move is not only to frighten the other bandits, but also to frighten the hearts of people inside and outside the palace. The purpose of promoting Master Cai to the Tang Yamen is to completely control the Li County Yamen."

"This is just the beginning. Thinking about it, things like this will happen again in the future."

"Old Feng, the situation in the palace has changed. Although the princess is young, she is decisive in temperament, and has plans and methods. She is even worse than the prince in the past. Former officials of the palace like you and me should let go of the past and put things right. Position, serve the new master well."

After writing the letter, Chen Zhuo put down his pen and looked out the window at the vast night. He didn't know whether it was with sadness or relief, and sighed softly.

"Come here, please send this letter back to Nanyang Prince's Mansion, and deliver it to Feng Changshi personally."

……

Yang Zheng is also writing a letter.

He frowned, held the pen, rubbed the pen tip on the paper, and wrote a few sentences, not satisfied. Immediately crumpled up the paper and threw it on the ground.

There are already seven or eight of the same paper balls on the ground.

This letter was, of course, written to my third uncle who was the Minister of Justice in the capital.

Yang Shilang is a high-ranking official in the court and the head of the Yang family. Yang Zheng writes a letter to Yang Shilang every three months, and he just wrote one last month. Writing this letter suddenly is due to my recent impatience and instability.

Yang Zheng didn't want to admit that he was frightened by the murderous look in the princess's eyes. But at this time, I am so entangled that it is difficult to write, which is also a fact. Yang Zheng sat in silence for a long time, and suddenly heard the sound of banging at the fourth watch coming from outside.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Almost hammered into his brain.

Yang Zheng was full of intelligence, and a thought flashed through his chaotic mind. He gritted his teeth, braced himself and picked up his pen. This time, he did not hide or quibble, and clearly wrote the changes in the princess's behavior in the past few days in the letter.

"...There was Qiu Dianshan in the front, Magistrate Cai in the back. There were also more than three hundred bandits who were wiped out. One by one, one by one, the princess's stubbornness and willfulness can be seen."

"My nephew is not pleased by the princess, who always makes things difficult for me. Come to think of it, I won't be able to hold the position of chief prosecutor of Nanyang Palace for a long time."

"My nephew wants to leave as soon as possible and asks his third uncle to find another place for his nephew. My nephew is waiting for his reply."

After finishing writing, Yang Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a little tired and relieved.

Rather than being kicked out in the future, it would be better to find another job as soon as possible and change the unlucky guy to be the judge. He no longer wanted to serve such a difficult princess.

……

That night, the one who had the most sleepless nights was the newly appointed Magistrate Cai.

Magistrate Cai's family was poor and ugly. Fortunately, he had a reputation as a scholar and was able to marry a daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law's surname is Song. She has an ordinary appearance, but she is diligent, capable, gentle and virtuous. After he came to Li County, he gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Hong was a cook and did everything.

Mrs. Song was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. She tugged on the ugly husband's sleeves from time to time: "The princess really asked you to be the county magistrate? I'm not dreaming!"

"It's not a dream, it's true." Magistrate Cai's slender eyes were not sleepy at all, and he responded to Song for the 22nd time: "The princess not only supports me, but also supports me and leaves me with more people. More than half of them In the autumn of next year, I can still go to participate in the autumn. With the title of Juren, I can officially fill this official position."

Mrs. Song laughed for a while and then started crying again: "It's like a dream, I can't even think about it."

From now on, she will also be the county magistrate's wife.

Magistrate Cai wiped his wife's tears and whispered: "You don't know the majesty of the princess, but I saw it with my own eyes in the military camp."

"That night, everyone went into the mountain to suppress the bandits, and there were only fifty soldiers left in the camp. I, a loser who couldn't lift my hands or shoulders, was also in the military camp. When Zhu Yidao led a dozen bandits into the military camp, I I was so scared that I peed my pants.”

"The princess stabbed Zhu Yidao to death with just one shot. That shot was like lightning and thunder. I have never seen such a powerful and majestic shot in my life!"

"I don't know why the princess has taken a fancy to me. However, the princess is so kind to me, and my life, Cai Ye, belongs to the princess from now on."

Mrs. Song choked with sobs and agreed: "That's right. Everyone has a conscience. The princess is so kind to you, so you must be a good county magistrate. Only by governing Li County well can you be worthy of the princess."

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Song asked in a low voice: "The princess won't let you do anything unconscionable, right?"

Magistrate Cai laughed: "What are you thinking about? There are three hundred counties in Daliang. Nanyang County is located at the intersection of north and south. It has fertile fields, peace and prosperity, and is known as the first county in Daliang. The princess is the master of Nanyang County. What does she want? No. There is no need to do anything unconscionable!"

"The princess supports me like this because she wants everyone to see that as long as you work hard and be loyal to the princess, you will have a good future. Once the emperor and the minister, the prince has been gone for a year, and now the person in charge of Nanyang County is The princess."
