Manager Peng stretched out his hand to stop them, but there was no way he could stop Mu Wanqing and her group.
Mu Wanqing rushed to the opposite side with a clear goal, blocked the door, and then slowly led her people upstairs.
Inside the box, several men were sitting restlessly, looking extremely unhappy. This village chief was not doing things according to the rules. How could people deal with this?
"Master Jin, what should we do?"
The man stood up, walked to a wall, and gently twisted the vase on the antique shelf. The secret door opened, "Go and deal with it. Lao Fu and I are not convenient to show up. You can find any excuse to get rid of us."
After saying this, the two of them slipped in and the secret door slowly closed.
After a while, the door was pushed open heavily, and Mu Wanqing stood at the door. "You guys don't like me? Are you trying to trick me in secret?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he launched a critical attack, not giving anyone a chance to mediate. The other party quickly bowed and said, "The village chief is joking. How dare we?"
"Is this the snack street you guys set up together?" Mu Wanqing stood at the door and didn't go in. She looked around curiously with her beautiful eyes, "You're quite thoughtful. Everything is imitated so realistically that it can fool ordinary people."
The man's scalp was tingling, but he had to apologize with a smile, "Village Master, you are going too far. Everyone can make food, so how come you are the only one who can do it? You are not right at all."
Mu Wanqing's eyes fell on the five cups on the table, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. "Who are you going to ask for justice? You are officials appointed by the court. Logically, you should ask the emperor for the decision. Ah, why do I remember that officials are not allowed to do business? Am I wrong?"
The maid beside her immediately said, "You are not mistaken."
The three of them were stunned and looked at each other. How did she know they were officials? They were all wearing plain clothes, very ordinary ones.
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows. Officials have a different temperament, commonly known as official power, or the smell of official oil.
She laughed, "That means knowingly breaking the law, deliberately challenging the court's laws, challenging the king's authority..."
She pushed the hat hard, one after another, and frightened the other person so much that his face turned blue and he almost knelt down in front of her.
"No, we are family, and we all live in Xiliang. If we make a big fuss about this, it will affect Xiliang's reputation. I think this is a result you don't want to see."
This logic is ridiculous, it is moral blackmail to Mu Wanqing, but Mu Wanqing doesn't buy it, "It's not me who ruined Xiliang's reputation. People still praise me for being fair and strict, beautiful and kind."
A man secretly gritted his teeth and said that it was so annoying to be so sharp-tongued. Women should just stay at home and have children.
Mu Wanqing is doing this, showing up in public every day, which has brought a bad atmosphere and the women in the family have become restless.
"Then have you ever thought about what the Dusi Mansion would think? What would Commander Du think? If Commander Du has any opinions about you, even if you are the village chief, I'm afraid it will not be easy for you."
The title of village chief is just a nominal one, without real power. The real master of Xiliang is Du Shuai.
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, smiling, "Are you threatening me?"
The man said with a stern face, "No, it's just a friendly reminder."
"Thank you so much." Mu Wanqing smiled slightly. When the man thought she had given in and breathed a sigh of relief, she brushed her hair, revealing her sharp edge.
"As a return gift, I will write a memorial to commend you for your achievements."
She walked into the box gracefully, found an empty seat and sat down, "Bring a pen."
At the beginning of autumn and winter, take out the four treasures of the study and start grinding.
Everyone was stunned, watching Mu Wanqing pick up the brush and start writing the memorial. She wrote very seriously and muttered to herself.
What…what…is this? Is this a woman? Why does she look like a gangster?
Mu Wanqing kept muttering, "Your Majesty, you are a good emperor and your policies are good. But your policies are not implemented in the countryside, and some people are openly opposing you. I am so anxious when I see this."
I just met some guys with pointed chins and monkey faces, and they did something outrageous...
She paused writing and looked up slightly. "By the way, what are your names? What are your official positions?"
Sharp-nosed monkey-cheeked: ...
No, they don't want to say it! They refuse!
How could someone be so shameless as to complain behind their backs? No, they complained to their faces and slandered them! They even gave them nicknames! They were so arrogant.
Lixia took out a notebook and flipped through a few pages. "Qian Duogen, deputy judge, rank seven. Ma Rong, chief judge, rank seven. Li Ming, governor, rank six."
The three were stunned, as these were exactly their names and official positions.
So, even though we have never met, he has already entered Mu Wanqing's list?
Mu Wanqing solemnly wrote down their three names in the memorial and watched them vomit blood.
It's crazy! They're going to be famous all over the world!
“You can’t do that!”
"Lord, you will be laughed at by the world for writing such a nonsense memorial."
"I think you are a little self-willed. You don't understand the overall situation and only know how to vent your personal grievances."
The three men tried their best to stop her and wanted to snatch the memorial from her hand, but looking at the guards beside her, they did not dare to make a move.
My mentality is blown away, how can someone play such a dirty trick?
"I don't want you to think, but what I think. Do you understand?" Mu Wanqing held her chin up, looking like a domineering president.
Three people: ...
Mu Wanqing wrote slowly and asked casually, "The deputy judge and the chief judge belong to the Dusi Mansion, right?"
"yes."
Mu Wanqing looked at the three people in front of her meaningfully, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"You are right. I should have said hello to Coach Du in advance and communicated with him."
This must have been done without Du Shuai's knowledge, and the Dusi Mansion might not even know about it.
If she hadn't caught him red-handed, no one in the entire Liangcheng would have known about it.
The three men felt dizzy in front of their eyes. Every move was a killing move, the kind that could take their lives.
Who said that women with long hair have short knowledge?
The three of them looked at each other and exchanged glances. "Village Lord, although you are the village lord appointed by the court, you do not have the right to interfere in local military and political affairs. You are overreaching."
"Yes, this is taboo. The Emperor and Commander Du will definitely not be happy to see this."
"Village Lord, why don't you just live a peaceful and comfortable life as a wealthy and idle person, enjoying wealth and glory? Why do you always cause trouble? Your behavior is not tolerated by those in power..."
If soft tactics don't work, then use hard tactics. Mu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, you guys understand the Emperor and Commander Du's minds so well? Are you the worms in their stomachs? Or have you already figured out how to replace them?"
She didn't mean anything, they just apologized sincerely and the matter was over.
But their attitude made her unhappy, so let's all be unhappy together.
Ma Rong's eyes turned red with anger. "How dare you be so presumptuous? Do you have to kill thousands of people before you're satisfied?"
Mu Wanqing smiled smugly, "Are you scared? I just like to see you trembling with fear, hating me to death but unable to kill me."
Three people: ...
Damn, this guy is clearly a pervert! They can't do anything about perverts!
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes and shook the memorial in her hand, "Actually, there is another way. You can throw money at me and bribe me. I don't think 100,000 or 80,000 is too little."
Eighty thousand or one hundred thousand? Are you kidding me? How can they have so much money?
Well, writing a memorial was fake, but blackmail was real! How shameless!
"One, two, three..." Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry and began to count the teacups on the table. "Five, there are clearly five teacups, where are the other two hiding? Let them come out and discuss business together."
Ma Rong was sweating profusely, not sure if he was anxious or afraid, "They left first because of something."
"Really?" Mu Wanqing's eyes rolled, and she took out a small hammer from somewhere and waved it around the room.
From time to time, she would pick up the hammer and knock on things. Every time she knocked, she would glance at the three people, scaring them into a cold sweat.
The atmosphere was well-maintained and became increasingly tense.
The three wanted to stop them, but Mu Wanqing's guards were not pushovers, and her rank was much higher than theirs. The charge of treason was enough to make them unable to raise their heads.
She seemed to be dancing on the other party's bottom line, intimidating everyone inside and outside.
If you want to plot against her, you have to be prepared for the consequences of being discovered by her.
"Knock knock." Mu Wanqing knocked on the wall on the side of the antique display cabinet and immediately heard something wrong.
"This sound is wrong, it seems like there's nothing inside, is there a dark room?"
The people inside subconsciously held their breath, sweat dripped down their faces due to nervousness, and their hearts were in turmoil.
Mu Wanqing gave an order, "Come here, tear down this wall for me."
Immediately, someone banged on the wall. The person inside clenched his hands into fists, his face looking terribly gloomy.
Mu Wanqing, you are really great.
Ma Rong and the others were anxious and tried to stop him, "Village Master, you can't do this. This is our private property. You are infringing on our legitimate rights and interests..."
Mu Wanqing swayed her feet and hummed softly, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, go and complain if you have the guts, go ahead."
This was too arrogant. Qian Duogen was completely enraged. "Mu Wanqing, you are going too far. You are just a village chief without any real power, yet you dare to show off your power in Liangcheng. Do you really think no one can control you? Aren't you afraid that something bad will happen to your family members..."
At this moment, an anxious voice sounded, "Qing'er, Qing'er."
Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then stood up, straightened her clothes, put away her rebelliousness, became obedient and cute, and then went out to greet him, "Dad, why are you here?"
Master Mu's face was flushed with excitement, and he was almost going crazy. "Hurry, hurry home, the imperial envoy is here again."
"Again?" Mu Wanqing calculated the time. It was a little late. Was he delayed on the road?
Master Mu's mouth was crooked with laughter, and his whole body was filled with joy.
"Qing'er, you've been promoted to county lady, a third-rank official. Hahahaha, your mother and I both received titles and honors thanks to you. We're both third-rank officials! Walk out with your head held high in the future. You don't have to salute officials. No, officials above the third rank still have to salute."
Although the real culprit was not found and no official decree was issued, the other party was willing to make friends and leaked some news, which made the Mu family crazy with joy.
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, a little disappointed. County Princess, this is not what she wanted.
But, it's better to have something than nothing, at least her parents have been given a title of honor. "In Xiliang, only General Du and Major General have higher ranks than us."
Master Mu was so excited that he almost cried, "Hahaha, yes, I never thought that I could become an official in my lifetime thanks to my daughter. Qing'er, Dad relies on you for his whole life. How could I have such a capable daughter?"
Although it is just a nominal position, the social class is different and most officials have to give him face.
He was so excited that he spoke incoherently, "My daughter is worth a hundred sons of others. How many men can be able to confer titles and honors on their parents? My Qing'er has done it. It's awesome."
In contrast, Mu Wanqing was extremely calm, "Dad, this is just the beginning. In the future, it will be even more glorious."
"And later?" Master Mu was stunned. How could he be promoted? The next level up would be a princess, right?
Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Of course, how old am I? In one year, I have risen from a commoner to a village chief, and from a village chief to a county chief. I have to live to be at least sixty years old. There are plenty of opportunities in these forty years."
That makes a lot of sense. What does it feel like to have a genius daughter?
Mr. Mu just wanted to say, awesome! It feels so good to be carried away!
"Hurry, let's go back and receive the order."
He pulled his daughter and tried to run, but failed. Mu Wanqing signaled him not to rush and turned to look at Ma Rong and the others.
"Ah, you were wrong just now. I am no longer just a village lady. I have been promoted. A county lady is a third-rank official. I have jumped from fourth-rank to third-rank official in half a year, which is considered a jump of two levels."
She asked sincerely, "I don't really understand. Is my promotion considered fast? How many levels did you jump in half a year?"
Ma Rong and the others' faces turned pale and they felt like vomiting blood. This witch!
