Chapter 51: "Local Dog" once again ushered in the highlight moment
Under Chu Wenqian's arrangement, four yamen runners walked towards several carriages parked on the side with great fanfare.
An Yi and the others looked at each other, nodded, and did not step forward to stop it.
The master wants to play, so of course we can't let her spoil the fun.
Several yamen runners were terrified when they saw An Yi and his men, who were full of murderous intent.
They pretended to be calm and checked the situation inside the carriage as a routine matter.
The more I checked, the more puzzled I became. The car was filled with daily necessities and spare clothes, but none of the valuables the bandits had claimed!
When a yamen runner saw the noble Xiao Chengjin in the carriage, he was so frightened that he staggered.
He...he is the demoted Prince An.
Oh my god!
I've heard that His Royal Highness Prince An is extraordinarily handsome, and now that I see him, it's true!
If I accidentally glimpse his face, will I be attacked by the Dark Shark...
Instantly, the yamen runner felt a chill on his back.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly lowered the curtain, turned around, and staggered away.
He saw nothing...
Xiao Chengjin listened to the messy footsteps and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Coward!
I am so lucky to have seen my grandfather’s true appearance, and smoke is rising from my ancestral grave.
Qin Zhen and his companions stood at the second-floor window of the teahouse diagonally opposite, secretly watching the movements at the government office.
I have to say, this woman is really brave...
He beat up bullies, picked off bandit dens, and now he even wants to bring down the prefect of Shengzhou.
Poor "escort" officials, they were frightened all the way.
Alas, when can we reach Jizhou?
I really want to go back to Beijing as soon as possible!
Several yamen runners hurried back to the courtroom and said in a businesslike tone, "Your Excellency, after checking, I found that there was no valuables in those carriages as the two men claimed. They only contained some daily necessities."
Upon hearing this, the two bald village chiefs froze in their places as if struck by lightning...
Impossible!
How could there not be?
In a panic, the scarred man pointed at several yamen runners and blurted out, "Sir, they must be protecting this woman. You must investigate it yourself."
"quiet!"
Chu Wenqian was furious, and suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple.
He glanced at the yamen runners with a dark look, then stood up, left the desk, and walked towards the carriages outside the government office...
Several yamen runners: “.......?”
Are you afraid, sir, that they will make false reports?
Come see for yourself!
This will prevent these people from being wrongly accused.
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Chu Wenqian's back, several yamen runners glared fiercely at the two scarred men kneeling on the ground.
You bastards, you actually dared to slander them. When you get beaten with a stick later, don’t blame them for killing you. Humph!
The two scarred men: “…….?”
Uh, why do I feel like a disaster is about to happen?
Is it true that there is no treasure in the carriage as they said?
Jiang Ruo looked at Chu Wenqian's back and raised her eyebrows.
Did he really think that these yamen runners would dare to fish in troubled waters under his nose?
Go look for it! It's a wonder you can find it.
"You two, you dare to frame me? You will be punished even more severely!" Jiang Ruo's voice rang faintly in the ears of the scarred man and the other man...
Damn it!
You will be beaten with a stick later. These yamen runners will not let you go.
Chu Wenqian, who was checking the carriage, looked increasingly unhappy...
Is it true that there is no property as they claim?
The carriage guarded by An Yi and several others caught Chu Wenqian's attention, and he quickly took a few steps forward.
The moment he opened the car curtain, his face changed drastically.
His Royal Highness Prince An?
It’s really him!
He looked as if he was asleep.
After Chu Wenqian gently lowered the car curtain, he subconsciously bowed to express his apology.
He muttered to himself: Even though he was demoted, he was once the most honorable prince of the Dayan Dynasty.
Moreover, there is always a murderous aura surrounding him...
Thinking of this, Chu Wenqian hurried back to the court.
This person is not someone he can mess with.
Chu Wenqian returned to the court with a furious look on his face.
He slammed the gavel and shouted, "How dare you, the bold robber, slander the person who reported the crime?"
"Come here, drag them out and give each of them twenty lashes of the cane. Give each of the remaining bandits ten lashes of the cane. After the caning, take them all to the jail."
"I will make a decision after I find out the truth of the matter!"
Damn it, it won’t be too late to get rid of them after finding out where the treasure is tonight.
Jiang Ruo looked at the "impartial" Chu Wenqian and immediately bowed and said, "Lord Chu enforces the law like a mountain. It is truly a blessing for the people!"
Okay, I’m tired of playing too.
I'll come back at night to "rescue" these two abandoned children, and by the way... hehe!
The queen's cousin must be very rich!
Chu Wenqian: “......?”
Humph, you’re smart!
Since you have eliminated harm for the people and are so sensible, I will reward you with some silver.
"Jiang Ruo has made great contributions in suppressing the bandits. I will reward you with two hundred taels of silver." Chu Wenqian acted like a wealthy man.
All your property has been confiscated, and now you are just a bunch of paupers. Don't be too grateful to me.
The yamen runners and the common people were envious when they heard this.
Earning two hundred taels of silver in one night is so awesome!
Jiang Ruo widened her eyes in disbelief.
What the hell?
I worked hard all night and you reward me with two hundred taels of silver?
Are you sending away beggars?
You are too stingy!
Okay, then I'll take the trouble and get it myself at night.
Jiang Ruo's lips curled up into a smile, and he slowly said, "Sir, eliminating harm for the people is what I should do. I don't need any reward."
I am just so open-minded!
Everyone turned their admiring gazes towards Jiang Ruo...
Jiang Ruo: Haha! “Tugou” once again has its moment in the spotlight.
Chu Wenqian thought angrily: He is just trying to show off his wealth, whether he wants it or not.
Don't save it for me.
Jiang Ruo saw that there was nothing left for her to do, so she decided to retreat!
"Jiang Ruo, take your leave!"
Chu Wenqian deliberately looked at Jiang Ruo with admiration.
Then he waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Jiang Ruo slowly walked out of the government office...
Two hundred taels of silver!
Why don’t you want it anymore?
When several yamen runners saw this, they realized that the opportunity for revenge had come.
So, they dragged the scarred man and the other man out with dark faces and began to take revenge...
"Oh, sir, please spare my life..."
"Sir, we were wrong..."
.......
Nangong Yi looked at Jiang Ruo, who came out of the government office with great grace, and couldn't help but cover his face and cry out loud.
A Yu looked at his master's useless appearance and was very upset.
Master, that's enough!
Even if he couldn't win an argument with the Madam in the mansion, he would be so angry that he would cry. After finally seeing his cousin, he also burst into tears!
Alas, there is no hope, I despise you!
Nangong Yi wiped away his tears vigorously, stepped forward a few steps to stop Jiang Ruo, and said with a choked voice: "Ruoruo, I am your uncle!"
Jiang Ruo looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with red and swollen eyes from crying, and was confused.
uncle?
Well, looking at their faces, they are a bit...similar.
Could it be that he is a crybaby uncle?
