The county magistrate now deeply hates the word "auntie".
If it weren't for that girl, would he have ended up like this?
"How is the Prime Minister's aunt dressed? Is she young?"
When the Dianshi heard this question, his eyebrows moved and he waved his hands and said, "Sir, this is not important. What is important is that we can settle everything by spending money now..."
"This is very important." The county magistrate's brain suddenly became smart.
At this time, there was a noise outside the door.
The registrar turned around and saw that the door had been pushed open. A middle-aged man walked in. Just by looking at his face, he looked ferocious and didn't seem like a good person.
The man glanced at the Dianshi and said, "Get out."
The Dianshi immediately put on a smile and said, "Okay, Boss."
Then he retreated quickly and decisively, leaving the space to the man.
The county magistrate was lying on the bed, unable to move, but when he heard the voice he realized who it was, so he immediately leaned forward and asked, "Brother, is that you?"
"It's me." The boss Yang Kui responded and strode to the bed.
Seeing the county magistrate's appearance, his face was full of heartache and anger. "I received the news about your case and rushed down the mountain to see you. How did you end up like this, second brother? And what about this imperial envoy? Why is the court suddenly investigating a case from eight years ago?"
When the county magistrate saw the boss, he was like a child meeting the head of the family, and he told him everything all at once.
After listening to this, the eldest boss frowned and said, "So you suspect that the aunt who attacked you is the aunt of that prime minister?"
"Brother, that's the Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense."
The eldest boss laughed and said, "Second brother, you have been a county magistrate for several years. Do you really think you are an official? What prime minister? Why are you being so respectful to him?"
County Magistrate: …
He seemed to have just realized that he had been brainwashed by the officialdom.
At this time, the eldest boss patted the county magistrate on the shoulder and said, "I came down the mountain this time to help you, my second brother, settle this matter and prevent him from investigating the case eight years ago."
"How do we deal with it?"
"Of course, it's killing the Prime Minister."
The county magistrate was shocked: "How can we kill him? The Prime Minister has so many guards..."
"We killed all 112 members of the Yan family, but some of the guards, don't forget how many brothers we have, when the time comes, just like eight years ago, we will throw them all to the bandits."
"Brother, we are bandits."
The eldest boss was very pleased: "It's good that you still remember it. It's just a replay of what happened eight years ago."
As he spoke, he leaned over and whispered his plan into the magistrate's ear.
At this time in the front hall, the registrar had taken out the gold from the county magistrate's warehouse on his own initiative and presented it to Wen Yu.
"This is the county magistrate's filial piety."
Wen Yu looked at the golden sight in front of her and was obviously in a very good mood. She leaned lazily on the back of the chair, fiddling with the heavy gold with her fingertips.
"Anything else?"
Wen Yu's open solicitation of bribes was so open and justified.
One after another, several people expressed their sincerity.
Upon seeing this, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant sighed. Everyone had sent their gifts, so if they didn't, they would be asking for trouble.
They held this welcoming banquet indeed in order to get closer to the Prime Minister, but they did not expect this lady to act so unconventionally.
The lady likes it? But it's all an excuse. The Prime Minister is just using this lady to make money.
However, since the Prime Minister has received the money, he has no choice but to stand on the same front with them, which is also a good thing.
After all, accepting bribes as an imperial envoy is a serious crime punishable by death.
This is true for ordinary imperial envoys, but since all the money was collected by Wen Yu, the emperor would only say, "My sister is willing to take your gold because it is a favor. You should kneel down and thank her."
Then let Wen Yu take the gold and go upstairs to play.
In the end, Wen Yu had a full meal at the county government office and returned to the office with a lot of money.
Lin Yuzhi said: "In such a small county government, every official can actually take out more than 100 taels of gold."
Wen Yu took out an ingot from the gold pile and stuffed it into Lin Yuzhi's pocket: "Everyone who sees it gets a share. Don't accuse me of being stingy."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
He lowered his eyes to look at his palm, subconsciously clenched it, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
"Thank you very much, Princess, for your reward."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "When my brother asks about it, just say that you took the lion's share and I don't want any ingots. It was you who insisted on forcing it on me, and I couldn't resist you, so I accepted one ingot with great reluctance."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
There was silence in the carriage for a moment.
Wen Yu was very relaxed and didn't feel that what she had just said was shameless at all.
Lin Yuzhi's lips slightly raised, then quickly flattened. He put the gold ingot into his sleeve and nodded, "It is my humble servant's honor to share the princess' worries."
Seeing this, Liu Chun whispered, "Princess, the Prime Minister is an imperial envoy. If he accepts bribes, he will be beheaded."
Wen Yu looked at Lin Yuzhi and blinked: "Don't worry, when the emperor brother comes to question you, I will protect you. The feng shui of Shengjing City is very harsh, so I will not let you get too seriously injured or die. It is your blessing to have me."
Lin Yuzhi: ...
Liuchun: ...
This sounds weird, but I can't tell what's weird about it.
The carriage stopped and Wen Yu went straight into the government office, followed by two guards carrying a wooden box full of gold.
Lin Yuzhi followed Wen Yu's footsteps and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
This was the first time in these days that he had been able to spend such a long time alone with the princess.
In the past, this would have been unthinkable.
Either A or B is there, or A, B, and C are all there, so he can only drink by himself in the yard.
Lin Yuzhi sent Wen Yu to the door.
"Princess, please go to bed early. I will go to the county government office tomorrow morning to check the files. After you wake up, I will report the case to you."
Wen Yu made an OK gesture, pushed open the door, and saw Ning Xuanyan sitting at the table.
Lin Yuzhi, who was about to leave, stopped abruptly.
He said in a cold voice: "Breaking into an official office without permission is a capital crime."
Ning Xuanyan raised his eyebrows: "You can pretend you didn't see me."
He looked at Wen Yu and said, "I got bored waiting for you, so I just peeled some melon seeds. Do you want to eat them?"
Wen Yu gestured to Lin Yuzhi to leave, closed the door, and sat at the table, looking at Ning Xuanyan with a smile.
Lin Yuzhi: ...
He looked at the closed door in front of him and his eyelashes trembled.
He overstepped the boundaries.
