The county magistrate was still confused when he woke up.
He was now completely awake, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly put on his gown.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Your humble servant greets the princess."
"May the princess be blessed with good health. My humble eyes are like those of a dog, and I didn't recognize you as the princess."
"I hope the princess will forgive me."
He was so nervous that his body didn't even hurt.
"Big fat pig, mother will not forgive you."
Mingxin sat on Anli's lap and spoke first.
An Li pinched his daughter's cheek and said, "As a county magistrate, you are partial to your own interests and bend the law, causing trouble for merchants."
"Who gave you the guts?!"
She raised her voice, picked up the round plate on the wooden table and smashed it.
It hit the county magistrate on the head, and blood spurted out and flowed all over the ground.
The county magistrate dared not move, his heart was in turmoil.
More than a decade ago, he was a good county magistrate who loved his people like his own children, but he couldn't resist the temptation...
There were beads of sweat mixed with blood on his head, falling down in big drops.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate has not caused any trouble with merchants."
"I have never abused my power for personal gain or perverted the law..."
The county magistrate's lips trembled, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say.
Just follow your instinct and deny the facts.
"Bang!"
An Li slammed the wooden table in anger.
"Tie him up for me."
"Someone, move the files!"
She wants to check the files and overturn the verdict for the people.
The guards tore off the bed sheets and tied up the county magistrate tightly.
Following An Li, we came to the main hall.
An Li was sitting on the armchair and said, "Call everyone up."
The two yamen runners who had been there before sent someone to go.
After waiting for a while, the files that had been guarded for nearly ten years were brought up.
Five large boxes of gold ingots were also found in the corner of the archives.
The guards placed the files and gold ingots on both sides.
"No, that's not it."
"Princess, please listen to my explanation..."
The county magistrate twisted his body and shook his head violently.
An Li got down from the armchair and looked at the files and gold ingots.
I picked one up and took a look, it was still pure.
Then he walked to the front of the county magistrate and said, "Then this princess will give you a chance to explain."
"If you say something wrong, I'll chop off your head."
She stepped aside and whispered a few words to the two guards, who then left.
The county magistrate racked his brains, thinking about how to explain it.
He stammered, "Princess, these gold ingots were earned by me myself, not embezzled."
"I work diligently and care about the people. The princess can investigate."
At this time.
The two yamen runners brought the legal advisor, clerk and others to the main hall.
An Li glanced over and saw a familiar face among them.
Isn’t that Madam Li’s son-in-law, Gu Shiyun?
Why is he here?
These people knelt down and saluted An Li.
An Li returned to the armchair and sat down, saying, "Kneel down, everyone. When I have finished reading, you can stand up again."
"Gu Shiyun, please get up and help this princess review the files."
Gu Shiyun naturally recognized An Li and was a little surprised. He was wearing a green shirt and sitting beside the desk.
He picked up a thick file and started checking it.
In the main hall, the only sounds were those of Mingxin flipping through books and chewing on dried meat.
It’s so quiet!
The county magistrate and the minor clerk who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to move an inch.
About half an hour later.
An Li frowned, the case record was broken.
I flipped through it again, and found that there were either crosses or blank pages.
She picked up another and did the same.
Without turning over the back, he got down from the armchair.
“Bang!”
"Can you explain? Why are the latter parts cut off?"
An Li slapped the county magistrate in the face.
A county's files are so important, yet he didn't even record them. He is truly corrupt.
Beheading is the lightest punishment!
"Princess, please spare my life..."
The county magistrate kowtowed madly.
The petty official, who was the magistrate's lackey, was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and also knocked his head.
"Come here, tie up everyone and take them to the dungeon to await punishment."
An Li Road.
She brought more than twenty guards today, which was more than enough.
After a while, the guards were all tied up.
After finding the dungeon, they locked the person in it.
Only An Li and a few others were left in the main hall. She asked, "Gu Xiucai, why are you here?"
She has a decent relationship with Madam Li, so it's okay to call her that.
What's more, it was she who introduced them in the first place.
Gu Shiyun bowed and said with a smile, "My Lady, my wife is pregnant. A good man should have ambitions and should not rely on his wife's family."
"I want to make my wife happy and earn face."
"So I asked the Emperor to come and practice my skills."
"It's just that there are some..."
Gu Shiyun had been here for less than three months and found it to be very chaotic.
The first thing he did was to hide and secretly collect evidence.
His position is exactly coroner.
A tiny, inconspicuous little person.
Now, he has collected a lot of evidence and helped many people who have been wronged.
He didn't expect that Princess Chang'an would come.
An Li smiled. Time passed so quickly. Wen Xi was actually pregnant.
I don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl, so I’ll have to send someone to deliver a gift when the time comes.
She smiled and said, "Gu Xiucai is really thoughtful. Wen Xi must be very happy."
"By the way, how much do you know about Yunle County?"
Gu Shiyun lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Does the princess have any solution?"
Both of them want to change the chaos of power in Yunle County.
All of a sudden, we thought the same thing!
