Chun Ling still said hesitantly, "Miss, the prince won't be angry if we do this, right? The county magistrate just said... His title was given by the emperor, we..."
"What are you afraid of? This corrupt official is exploiting the people and bringing disaster to the country. He should be removed!" Ma Qingyi said indignantly.
Chunling didn't say anything, just looked at Ma Qingyi silently, then lowered her head.
------
Prince's Mansion
Mo Yufeng was walking in the garden when Hong Yi passed by. Mo Yufeng called out to him, "Where's the princess?"
Hong Yi paused and said, "The princess and her maid went out this morning and haven't come back yet. I don't know where they went!"
Mo Yufeng was silent for a while and asked, "Where has she been these days?"
"Your Highness, the princess went to the street yesterday and seemed to have had a fight with someone!" Hong Yi said cautiously, glancing at Mo Yufeng from time to time!
Mo Yufeng's face was a little gloomy. "Where should I send someone to look for him now?"
Hong Yi left.
County Government Office
Ma Qingyi felt a little tired, so she fell on the table and looked at Chunling, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Chunling looked at her and said, "Miss, Chunling, I wonder who you are waiting for?"
Ma Qingyi thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Come here! Call back those soldiers who are out!"
Everyone in the court had left! Ma Qingyi sat down and stared at a certain spot, frowning.
Soon, a group of people came back. Ma Qingyi turned around and saw the beast who killed people without blinking an eye yesterday!
When the officer saw the person sitting in the court, he was stunned. His body trembled involuntarily and he paced over.
Ma Qingyi looked at him viciously and threw the token in the hall down. "Behead!"
"Wait a minute...why are you going to kill me? Who are you?" the soldier said in a trembling voice.
Ma Qingyi glanced at him and said, "You have no right to know who I am! What you should know is that you kill people at will and have no regard for the law. Killing someone means paying with your life!... What are you still standing there for? Catch him and kill him!"
The soldier was dragged out, crying out, "Why are you killing me... Why!... Ah!"
Ma Qingyi suddenly fell on the chair with an ugly face. She suddenly looked at Chunling and said, "Chunling, shouldn't I have killed him? Everyone makes mistakes!"
Chun Ling looked at Ma Qingyi and asked, "Miss, the body we saw today...was it killed by him?"
Ma Qingyi nodded, and looked at the red ground outside the court, tears streaming down her face. But when she thought of the little beggar who died in the alley and had no one to collect his body, she felt even more heartbroken!
Now that it’s done, let it be!
Ma Qingyi lowered her head, her legs trembling with fear, and she couldn't stand up! She could only sit on the chair, holding her forehead with her hands.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of her. Ma Qingyi raised her head and saw that it was Mo Yufeng. The tears that had been almost stopped burst out again. She hugged Mo Yufeng and said in a trembling voice, "I killed someone... I killed someone..."
Mo Yufeng hugged her, his voice gentle and doting, "Okay, okay, don't cry. You used my token, so it was naturally in my name, so..." Mo Yufeng held her face and said, "So it wasn't you who killed the person, it was me!"
Ma Qingyi hugged him tightly and cried in his arms.
Mo Yufeng smiled helplessly. I can’t stop you from crying at this time. I can only give you a shoulder to lean on... In the future, you will see all kinds of people, some of them will be good to you and some will be bad to you. I hope that if one day I am gone, I just hope that you can treat the bad guys like you do now, without giving them any room for mercy!
Ma Qingyi cried until her voice was hoarse, then she wiped her tears and looked at Mo Yufeng, saying lightly, "Doesn't it look ugly when I cry?"
Mo Yufeng smiled evilly, "It's a little ugly, but... you're not ugly!"
Ma Qingyi blushed, lowered her head and said, "Didn't I tell you not to say such things in the future?"
Mo Yufeng lowered his head and looked at her, "If you don't want to cry anymore, go back!"
Ma Qingyi nodded, but suddenly remembered something and looked at him, "I put the county magistrate in jail... He said the title was given to him by the emperor, and I... can't do anything to him!"
Mo Yufeng smiled and said, "I believe in your judgment. Since he is not a good official, he should be removed! Not only should he be removed, he should be killed!"
Ma Qingyi looked at him blankly, and he took her hand and left.
late at night
A masked woman squatted on the roof with a knife in her hand, lifted a piece of brick and tile, looked inside, and slowly poured the colorless liquid in the bottle into the bowl of the soldier guarding the prison. She watched the soldier drink the contents of the bowl and fainted soon after.
The masked woman saw that all the soldiers had fainted, then she turned around, knocked down the two soldiers guarding the main gate, and ran in.
He took the key from his waist, unlocked the door of the county magistrate's room, went in, grabbed his collar, and said, "Follow me!"
The county magistrate looked at the person in front of him with horror, "You... who are you?"
"I just want to ask you one question, do you hate Ma Qingyi?" Although the masked woman had her face covered, one could hear the displeasure and resentment in her tone.
The county magistrate was dumbfounded. “What are you talking about…Who is Ma Qingyi?”
"She is the one who put you in jail today. She is a liar. She stole Prince Fu Qing's token and then convicted you!" the masked woman continued.
"But I didn't offend her! Why do you want to kill me?" the county magistrate asked in disbelief.
"...because your soldiers killed a beggar!"
"But……"
"Shut up! If you keep talking, I'll kill you right now!" the masked woman said impatiently.
Seeing that no one was around, he grabbed his collar and left!
Deep in the mountains, the county magistrate shook her off, panting and shouting, "I can't do this anymore! I'm dying of exhaustion! ... Let's take a break!"
The masked woman glanced at him, and seeing that no one was chasing them in the distance, she squatted down and looked at him. "I saved you, and from now on you must obey my orders... If you don't want to, I will kill you now. If you don't obey me in the future, I will kill you immediately!"
The county magistrate rolled his eyes and thought that he should leave first. If he was caught and brought back, it would be considered as escaping from prison. Even if the emperor could save him... the crime of escaping from prison was not light!
For now, I have no choice but to agree to her and think about escaping later!
"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can rescue me, I will listen to you from now on!" The county magistrate smiled.
The masked woman said coldly, "Okay!" Then she took out a pill from her waist and said, "Eat it!"
The county magistrate looked at her warily, "What...what is this?"
"If you don't listen to me in the future, this pill will make you live a life worse than death!"
The county magistrate became even more frightened and shook his head, refusing to eat.
The masked woman gave him a deep look, pried open his mouth, and fed the pill.
"You...you!" The county magistrate was angry and terrified.
The masked woman smiled and said, "As long as you are obedient, I will give you the antidote!"
