In the Cheng family's backyard, the few of them fell silent.
Especially since she really wanted to hear what the logic behind this was.
"First of all, there is one very crucial thing you didn't realize before you do this."
"That is because you don't know that she actually has so many soldiers, and they are all very well-trained."
"In this world, anyone with a soldier can easily crush an ordinary citizen to death, not to mention that she is an official of the imperial court."
"The biggest problem is that you didn't investigate this person properly before you tried to punish her."
Cheng Jing began to speak bit by bit.
He nodded deliberately, as if that was indeed the case.
"This Lord Zhao, after meeting her at the banquet two days ago, I asked someone to investigate. Her identity is very impressive. She is the first female official in the Qin State, and she has a close relationship with the king. She also owns several workshops. She is a very powerful figure."
"If she really hated the Cheng family and wanted to use this as an excuse to take action against them, it would be very easy."
When they talked about this, the faces of the Cheng family members all looked very ugly.
Zhao Jun and the others may not know this, but who in the whole world doesn't know the king's name?
Thinking of this, Chengxin's face turned pale.
"Also, you're a bit too arrogant. Before doing something bad, don't you think about how to deal with it? You actually use your own family members, and they're always caught by others."
"I think you have really been in Shu County for too long. You think you can act tyrannically here and even ignore the government."
Cheng Jing didn't want to teach them a lesson, but he had to give them the necessary education.
"Well, what should we do now?"
Cheng Xin started to feel scared at this time, and her tone was sobbing. If Cheng's family was gone because of her, then she would be the sinner of Cheng's family.
"Okay, don't be too scared. I think every adult is a violent person. There should be room for improvement in this matter."
Cheng Jing comforted him, she also guessed some of Zhao Jun's thoughts.
"Chengxin, I'm punishing you to stay in the house and not go anywhere during this period of time."
"I'll go visit this lord and see how to remedy the situation."
After that she stood up.
Things have already happened, so they need to be resolved quickly. She is now preparing to go to the county magistrate's office.
"Sister, do you want me to go with you?"
Cheng Yu followed Cheng Jing with great concern, as she also made a mistake in this matter.
"No need. It's not easy for you to handle this matter. I'll go."
Chengyu was persuaded by her to withdraw, and the younger brother who had been silent all the time also asked if he wanted to go with her, and was finally persuaded.
In the end, only Cheng Jing and a few servants quickly went to the county magistrate's mansion.
Zhao Jun was very relaxed here and even had a good nap.
As soon as I woke up, I heard the announcement from downstairs that Cheng Jing had arrived.
"Wow, this young lady is really fast. I thought she would wait until tomorrow morning to come."
"I didn't expect that she would come to my house just half a day after the incident."
Zhao Jun sighed.
Xiao He sat with him and smiled faintly.
"Master Lu has already gone to the front to receive her. We should go to the front hall later."
The two chatted for a while on the way, and when they slowly walked to the front hall, Lu Jing had already sat down with Cheng Jing.
As soon as he saw her coming, Cheng Jing stood up and bowed, his attitude very respectful.
Zhao Jun nodded, smiled, and sat down to chat.
"What brings the eldest daughter of the Cheng family to visit?"
She asked pretending to understand.
After hearing this, Cheng Jing fell to his knees.
Zhao Jun was frightened by her, but he forced himself not to call anyone up.
"What do you mean, Miss?"
"Master Zhao, I'm here for my two good-for-nothing sisters. They've committed serious offenses, and I hope you can show some mercy."
Cheng Jing was extremely humble and spoke with great regret.
"I was so busy with household chores that I neglected to discipline my two younger sisters. This is why they committed such a serious offense. They dared to damage the road and even brought others to slander the adults. I'm here to apologize on my sisters' behalf."
"I know my two sisters have committed a heinous crime, but I hope Your Excellency will show some mercy on them because of their young age. I am willing to take the blame for them."
The people below spoke very sincerely.
Zhao Jun knew that this wise young lady was coming, but he didn't expect her to be able to do this.
I can actually be so humble and understand much more than her two sisters.
She sat down and glanced at the kneeling girl, sighing softly. After all, it had not come to that point yet.
"Okay, you get up first."
She still couldn't stand people kneeling to her at every turn.
"Thank you, sir."
Cheng Jing's attitude had already been achieved, so she got up as she was asked to.
"We haven't started a detailed investigation into this matter yet, so it's not necessarily your sister's idea."
Zhao Jun still said something tentatively.
"Your Excellency, my sister didn't admit it in person because she was embarrassed. She has already admitted her fault privately. Now that they have both acknowledged their mistakes and reflected on them, I hope you will show some leniency."
Mr. Zhao seemed to be in a dilemma.
"So that's how it is. Your sister is truly ignorant. It doesn't matter if I'm wronged, but the road that Lord Xiao and his men painstakingly repaired has been destroyed. This is truly..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao He who was sitting next to her.
Xiao He also looked regretful at this time.
"This is all your sister's fault. I'm truly sorry, Master Xiao. I've wasted your kindness, and I feel incredibly bad about it. My family will provide the money and manpower to repair the damaged road, and I'll also have the previous workers repair it."
