In order to save his own life, the dog-like magistrate still wanted to take advantage of the couple.
Upon hearing the four large words uttered by Ouyang Yuqing, he was so frightened that he immediately turned around and knelt down again.
"Long live the War King!"
I was unaware of Your Highness's arrival. Ignorance is no excuse. Please forgive my rudeness.
Shen Yingying was amused by this corrupt official.
Ignorance is no excuse, but you're hiding in all directions and claiming you don't know anything.
Do you think I'm blind?
Shen Yingying was too lazy to listen to this corrupt official's babbling.
She said directly to Ouyang Yuqing, "Don't waste time with him, ask him how long he has been the magistrate of Pingyuan County."
How did he embezzle and break the law during his tenure? Who backed him up and gave him the audacity to be so bold? How much of the people's hard-earned money did he embezzle?
Also, has he committed any other crimes?
After listening to his wife's words, Ouyang Yuqing kicked the dog-like magistrate and began to interrogate him.
Shen Yingying then began to look around the study.
She touched this and touched that throughout the study.
I just checked with my divine sense; there's a hidden room in this study.
She could easily use her mental power to store all the treasures in the dark room into her spatial storage.
But she was curious about how the hidden room in the study was opened.
Ouyang Yuqing pressed the county magistrate for answers, but the magistrate naturally could not admit to embezzlement and perverting the law.
The dog-like magistrate and Ouyang Yuqing were engaged in a battle of wits there, and he would occasionally steal glances at Shen Yingying.
He figured it out; the princess was definitely looking for the secret room in his study.
This is clearly an attempt to find evidence of his embezzlement and bribery.
The old man was terrified.
He prayed in his heart that the princess must not find the switch to his secret room.
If that's found, he'll have no way to defend himself.
I left the study in a hurry just now, and there are still his embezzlement and bribery records, as well as the secret letters and account books he handed over regarding financial transactions.
If this is discovered, I'll not only lose my head.
It's about one's own family...
The magistrate of Pingyuan County was already overwhelmed with dealing with Ouyang Yuqing.
Shen Yingying's occasional tapping and banging around the study made the magistrate break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing the magistrate sweating profusely from fear, Ouyang Yuqing also became interested.
He pressed the dog-like magistrate, saying, "Don't try to outsmart me. I have already received reports from the people."
Now you'd better be honest and tell me the truth: which faction are you colluding with?
They actually committed acts of embezzlement and corruption.
Shen Yingying had searched every part of the study but had not found the switch to the secret room.
The only thing we haven't checked yet is under the desk.
The dog-like magistrate stole a glance at Shen Yingying, silently praying that she wouldn't go to the desk.
He didn't respond when Ouyang Yuqing asked him questions.
Seeing that the corrupt magistrate was guilty, Ouyang Yuqing ignored his questions.
With a loud thud, he kicked the county magistrate into a corner.
As luck would have it, Ouyang Yuqing kicked the county magistrate to a spot not far from the desk.
Shen Yingying then found the switch under the desk and pressed it.
"ah"……
Before the dog-like magistrate could recover from Ouyang Yuqing's kick, he fell into the secret chamber he had dug himself.
Glug glug!
Thump...
…………
"Ouch..."
The dog-like magistrate rolled down the stairs into the dark room like a ball.
Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing watched as the dog-loving magistrate tumbled into his private room.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Yingying thought it was such a coincidence. Wasn't it easier for men and women to work together?
The basement was dark and gloomy, so Shen Yingying took out a powerful flashlight from her own space.
She turned on her flashlight and went into the dark room.
As soon as she entered the dark room, she shone her flashlight around.
And I must say, the basement is quite large.
The area should be around 60 to 70 square meters.
At this moment, the dog-like magistrate was leaning against a pile of boxes, clutching his head which had been bruised and swollen, howling in pain.
The dog-like magistrate was already unable to stop himself after being kicked by Ouyang Yuqing.
Unfortunately, just as Shen Yingying found the switch to the secret room, the old man tumbled down the stairs due to inertia and crashed into the treasure chest.
