The county magistrate snorted and laughed, "What token? Do you think I'm afraid of you..." He leaned in to take a look, but before he could finish his words, he fell to his knees with a plop. He prostrated himself on the ground and shouted, "Your humble servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Little Princess. May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
The people on the side:!!!
What! !
This little baby is actually the little princess?!
They all started to kneel, but Yuchi Xi quickly said, "No need to bow!"
They bent their knees a little, then immediately stood up straight again, "Yes!"
The county magistrate was about to stand up, but was stopped by Yuchi Xi, "County magistrate, kneel down!"
[Hehe, the token Daddy gave me is really useful! ]
Normally, she didn't want to reveal her identity. After all, she didn't need everyone to respect her. But today was different from usual and she had to be treated specially.
When dealing with people like the county magistrate, she would just rely on the power of the man she loves. Ugh! She relies on the power of her father!
The county magistrate prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head. His back was instantly soaked with cold sweat. "Little Princess..."
"Your Excellency, I really don't understand what I did wrong."
Yuchi Xi: Good, good, you don’t repent.
"Then tell me, why don't you pay their monthly salary?"
"Could it be that the imperial court didn't give you the monthly salary of a yamen runner?!"
The county magistrate rested his forehead on the ground and said, "This... was given by the court."
Yuchi Xi, "Then why did you embezzle their money?"
The county magistrate said, "You can't blame me for this. We county magistrates don't get much per month, so why wouldn't we try to make some money?"
"Since we can't attack the common people, then we can only attack the yamen runners around us, right?"
"Then if we don't bully the people, the emperor won't say anything to us!"
He couldn't just not take advantage of the situation, right? He couldn't!
Yuchi Xi: ...
You know how to catch words!
The business of making money is clearly explained to you.
"As long as you embezzle money, whether it belongs to the people or your subordinates, it is a crime!"
"Besides, isn't your county magistrate's monthly salary low? It's quite a lot now, isn't it?"
"Some time ago, my father announced a monthly salary system for county magistrates. As long as you do more for the people, you can get the corresponding silver!"
It is just to prevent them from trying to make money. If you give them enough money, they will naturally stop trying to make money. If they try again, the consequences will be terrible.
County Magistrate: ???
He hasn't heard of this!
"No! We, the common people, have done a lot of work, but our monthly salary isn't that much!"
"I haven't heard the prefect mention any monthly salary system..."
"Really?" Yuchi Xi looked at Jing Huaian, and Jing Huaian said, "Your Highness, the little princess, the prefect here has been receiving his monthly salary for several months, and the county magistrate has also applied for his share."
Yuchi Xi looked at the county magistrate, whose face turned green. It turned out that he was cheating his subordinates, and the prefect was also cheating his subordinates! !
He has been receiving it for several months...but his monthly salary hasn't increased at all!
The yamen runners on the side: ...
Haha, you deserve it!!
The people murmured, "Hey, this is really interesting! The county magistrate is cheating the yamen runners, and the prefect is cheating the county magistrate!"
"I heard that the county magistrate and the prefect are related!"
"Hahaha, look at the county magistrate's face. He probably didn't expect that!"
County Magistrate: What the hell can I think of?
The county magistrate took several deep breaths to avoid fainting. "Then, Your Highness, can I still go and pick you up in the future?"
Yuchi Xi tutted his words, "Based on what you've done, it's unlikely."
"You probably won't be able to receive it in the future."
You still want to claim it? You can't even keep your official hat!
County Magistrate: !!!
"Your Highness, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I will return their salary for the past few months to them now!"
"Please, Your Highness, please give me a chance because I'm so sensible."
Yuchi Xi:?
Are you sensible?
Ask yourself this question with your conscience!
If I hadn't come today, would you have done this?
Yuchi Xi, "Their difficulties were all imposed on them by you. What you are doing now can only be considered as remedial measures, not making amends!"
"Besides, you've delayed their relative's treatment, so you should be responsible for the consultation and medication fees."
"Yes, yes, it's my turn to go, and I will." The magistrate looked up at the bailiff with a flattering smile on his face. "Go and bring your family here. I will take them to see a doctor right now, in front of the little princess."
When the yamen runner heard him say this, he felt like he was dreaming. He pinched his thigh hard and it hurt!
It’s true!
He turned and ran, fearing that if he was a step slower, he would regret it.
He asked someone to help his family members and brought them over. Under Yuchi Xi's supervision, they went to a nearby pharmacy. The doctor took their pulses and sighed, "You should have come earlier."
"The turbid air in the lungs has increased, and it has damaged the lungs. However, it can still be cured. I just need to take medicine for an extra month."
When the yamen runner heard what the doctor said, he breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good that it can be cured!
The doctor wrote a prescription for them, and they went to find the medicine boy to get the medicine. When they paid the money, it was the county magistrate who paid the money.
After settling his family's affairs, the county magistrate took them back to the government office to settle all the money owed to them. "Now it's settled."
All the yamen runners who received the money were very grateful to Yuchi Xi, "Thank you, Princess, for upholding justice for us!"
