Half an hour later, Magistrate Shi led nine yamen runners to the Keyuelai Inn with familiarity.

Before coming here, he was very happy because he could ask Mayor Wang for a considerable amount of labor fees.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I saw a group of people tied up on the ground. Mayor Wang was missing a row of teeth and lying on the ground half-dead.

County Magistrate Shi’s eyes widened immediately, the smile on his face froze, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

It was not until Young Master Wang shouted for help that he came to his senses.

It was also at this time that he saw a group of people sitting in the lobby leisurely eating melons.

While waiting for Magistrate Shi to arrive, Xiaohu and his son went back and delivered the fifty melons that Jiang Yueyang had requested.

Along with the father and son came Xiaohu's brother, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this time, they stood outside the inn and watched.

Shi County Magistrate shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you hurt people in the area under my jurisdiction? Come here, arrest them all."

The bailiffs took action immediately.

"How dare you!" Guyu drew his sword and stepped forward, glancing sharply at the yamen runners who were about to approach.

The yamen runners were shocked by Guyu's momentum and slowly retreated.

When Magistrate Shi saw that Gu Yu dared to draw his sword in front of him, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and shouted loudly: "You bold lunatic, how dare you openly defy the law? Are you planning to rebel?"

Jiang Yueyang put down the melon in her hand, stood up slowly, and with a sneer on her lips, she looked at County Magistrate Shi and said sarcastically: "I didn't know you knew the law."

County Magistrate Shi was so angry at Jiang Yueyang's words that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Jiang Yueyang and his voice was trembling: "You... you unruly commoner, how dare you be so rude! I am an official appointed by the court, how can I allow a commoner like you to be so presumptuous!"

"The county magistrate has great authority!"

Jiang Yueyang was not afraid at all. She walked towards County Magistrate Shi step by step, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes.

“Kneel down!”

As her voice fell, County Magistrate Shi fell to his knees with a plop, his kneecaps making a crisp sound.

"County Magistrate Shi, as a parent official, you should make decisions for the people, but you colluded with Mayor Wang, oppressed the people, accepted bribes, and broke the law knowingly." Jiang Yueyang raised her foot and pressed hard on his palm, "You... deserve to die!"

The yamen runners didn't know whether they should step forward to rescue their county magistrate because their county magistrate was kneeling down in front of them.

Censor Shen took a sip of the tea at hand and looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.

At the beginning, he was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Yueyang's behavior of torturing without trial.

But after persuading her several times, he saw that she was not listening at all. He even said that if His Majesty blamed her, she would bear the responsibility and he would not care.

Now, he could watch General Lu smashing someone's teeth with a cup, and watching Ye Wuhen breaking someone's legs without blinking...

The attendant was even more Buddhist. He just took notes and had no objection to how Jiang Yueyang enforced the law violently.

At this time, he picked up his pen and took notes silently.

Magistrate Shi screamed in pain, sweating profusely. He wanted to stand up but couldn't. He said with a painful expression, "I am... an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Jiang Yueyang stepped on his feet more forcefully. "I'm ordered to conduct an inspection, and the ones I'm dealing with are corrupt officials like you who know the law but break it!"

When County Magistrate Shi heard Jiang Yueyang call himself "this official", he panicked and asked in horror: "Who... who are you?"

Jiang Yueyang sneered, took out his seal from his bosom and thrust it in front of County Magistrate Shi, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who I am!"

After seeing the seal clearly, County Magistrate Shi's face turned pale, and the fear in his eyes was infinitely magnified. "Supervision...Supervision Department, Your Highness...Princess."

During the period since the establishment of the Supervisory Office, it has solved many strange and serious cases, and its reputation has grown greatly, and all officials of Daxia know about it.

Given the nature and powers of the Supervisory Office, all Daxia officials have learned about the Supervisory Office and naturally know who is in charge of it.

When the people outside heard the words "Inspection Office", they had no reaction. They obviously didn't know what the Inspectorate did, but they knew how noble Her Royal Highness the Princess was!

Therefore, when they learned that Jiang Yueyang was a princess, hope shone in everyone's eyes.

Xiaohu's brother was the first to react. He immediately knelt down and shouted, "Princess, please help us! Mayor Wang and Magistrate Shi are colluding with each other to seize our land and plunder our money. We really can't survive any longer."

Seeing this, everyone knelt down and cried, "Please, Princess, make the decision for us!"

Upon seeing this, all the yamen runners knelt down, feeling extremely panicked. Will they die?

Jiang Yueyang glanced at the people kneeling on the ground and sneered, "County Magistrate Shi, you heard everything. Do you want to confess your guilt on your own initiative, or do you want me to verify it one by one?"

"I know my crime, but many of the things were done by Mayor Wang. I beg you to spare my life!" County Magistrate Shi kowtowed heavily.

"Spare your life?" Jiang Yueyang sneered, "Then who will spare the life of the young man who died under thirty strokes of the cane?"

County Magistrate Shi trembled when he heard this. "Sir, the boy's injuries are not... not fatal. It was Mayor Wang who prevented him from seeing a doctor..."

"Without the support of a county magistrate like you, how could a town mayor be so bold! It seems... you don't want to plead guilty."

After saying that, Jiang Yueyang turned around and looked at Qin Shi, "May I ask the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, how should the officials of our dynasty be sentenced for accepting bribes, abusing their power, disregarding human lives, knowingly breaking the law, and refusing to plead guilty?"

Qin Shi stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "My Lord, according to the laws of our dynasty, they should be dismissed from their posts, all their property should be confiscated, and they should be exiled. If the case is serious, they should be executed immediately, and their families should also be exiled."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Shi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I plead guilty. I beg you to show some leniency and spare my family!"

Jiang Yueyang snorted coldly, "County Magistrate Shi, Town Chief Wang, and their two sons have committed heinous crimes that are unforgivable. They shall be executed immediately. The sentencing of the remaining people will be left to Qin Shaoqing."

"I obey your orders!"

Magistrate Shi looked as pale as death and gave up struggling.

Mayor Wang wanted to beg for mercy but was in so much pain that he could not utter a word. The two brothers of Young Master Wang shouted for mercy.

Jiang Yueyang frowned, and Guyu immediately shut their mouths.

At this time, the people kneeling outside came to their senses and bowed to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Princess, for taking charge of this matter for us. May Your Highness be blessed with good health!"

"Everyone, hurry up and get up. This is what I should do. By the way, I will stay here for a few days to choose a new mayor for you. If you have any suitable candidates, please come and recommend them to me."
