"Did the magistrate ask His Majesty? How can you be so sure that His Majesty won't show up?"

Before Qingyang County Order even finished his sentence, he heard a deep and magnetic voice.

When he finished, Qingyang County Order and Grand Master heard his voice and turned around, to see a man and a woman enter through the Moon Cave Gate.

The man wore a moon-white robe, which accentuated his tall and sturdy figure. His appearance was so beautiful that it seemed like he didn't belong to the wilderness. His black eyes shined, and his thin lips curled up slightly, exuding a sense of respect above the tens of thousands of others.

The woman beside him was dressed in a light gray embroidered lute with short sleeves. She wore a crimson skirt with waist-length creases, and her pink ribbon was lifted by the wind. She looked like a fairy. The pair of sparkling eyes were brimming with liveliness and spirituality. It was truly a moving sight to behold.

The people who came were Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue, and behind them were Chong Yang, Chong Yue and Shen Liang, who were closely following behind their bodyguards.

Qingyang County Order and Grand Master couldn't help but stare at them a few more times.

's brows slightly furrowed, obviously displeased. He was very unhappy when people kept on staring at his precious wife, so he secretly thought that he should put a veil over her head next time.

He stepped forward, blocking their view.

Qingyang County Order finally regained his senses, and stared at Yuwen He: "You, who are you people? How did you get in? "

"Shouldn't you all be outside in the lobby?!" The Grand Master had just regained his senses and was taken aback.

Qingyang County Order was not stupid and immediately understood what he meant, "Are you saying that they are the kind of people who instigate people in our land?! How dare you barge in without permission! What crime should I commit?! "

Yuwen He laughed coldly when he heard that, "When Master Dong lied about what happened to the people, why didn't you think about what crime you should be charged with?"

"You, what did you say?" Qingyang County Order Master Dong's face changed.

"Master Dong, you should understand what I mean, right? When you reported to the imperial government that the Qingyang County was in great condition, but the disaster was this severe, and you reported it to the emperor, the emperor also agreed. However, the citizens of the Qingyang County only receive the porridge once every two days, and I wonder where Lord Dong's food would go, and who would be the one to get the porridge? "

Yuwen He calmly asked word by word.

County Magistrate Dong was shocked and took two steps back, "Don't speak nonsense, what do you know!?" The royal grains in the granary had all gone into the beleaguered people's stomachs. Otherwise, where would those grains have gone?! "

"Lord Dong knows where the grains have gone to, why do you bother asking me, a person who doesn't know anything?" You told a group of constables to go to the tavern and capture us foreigners. Isn't it because we feared that the news of the Qingyang County's calamity would attract the attention of the imperial government? " Yuwen He frowned, his gaze turned to the teacher beside him, "Master Chen, you are also a person who knows about this, your master is trying to deceive you, and you actually dare to cooperate with him, aren't you afraid that the crime of beheading will fall on you?"

"I …"

"Shut up, don't listen to such nonsense from this foreigner. Just a few words from him is enough to scare you to death!" Magistrate Dong suddenly came back to his senses and shouted at Master Chen.

"We don't know where this outsider came from. Who knows what kind of high official sent him to extort us." Foreigners, I don't care about your origins. How you hurt my bailiff? Quick, I know. Attacking an official in public and breaking into the back is a serious crime! I can lock you up in the prison until you die! "

"Lord Dong is so impressive. Which eye of yours saw us injuring an official? Even if we really did injure your Qingyang County's bailiff, what would happen to you? "

County Magistrate Dong paused and shouted loudly, "Someone, come! "A criminal has broken into the county magistrate court and is going to arrest him immediately and bring him to justice!"

"Milord!" Elder Chen called out to him hesitantly. Who knew that County Governor Dong would glare at him, "Shut up!"

Yuwen snorted lightly. Chong Yue soared up from behind him and in a flash, landed beside County Official Dong. He pressed on County Governor Dong's shoulder, and immediately screamed, "You, you …. How dare you! "Let go!"

"My lord!" Master Chen quickly moved closer, Chong Yue's sword was resting on his shoulder, "You better not move, swords have no eyes."

Elder Chen was frightened to the point that his face turned pale.

County Magistrate Dong stiffened his neck as he heard footsteps approaching the entrance of the courtyard. He then shouted, "Quick, quick! The thief is here! "

Who would have thought that the person who came in was not a bailiff?

They were all soldiers.

County Magistrate Dong choked on what he said next.

Wang Shangshu and two other officials also walked out from behind the soldiers.

Yuwen He turned and looked at them, "Go in and have a look, get Master Chen to lead the way, and have the county accounts be investigated thoroughly, especially the details of the location of the river embankment construction project and the grain granary."

"Yes." Wang Shangshu was the leader, walking towards Master Chen. Two soldiers were escorting Master Chen, his legs were trembling, as if he was being dragged.

Xiao Ruyue pulled Yuwen He's sleeves, "I will also go and help look for me, I am more skilled with these accounts."

"Don't be too tired, just take a look."

Yuwen He reminded her.

Xiao Ruyue nodded and followed Wang Shangshu and the others. Shen Liang followed along too: This was a principle, he would follow wherever the Empress went.

The soldiers stood guard at the rear of the prison. The parrot, who had been playing around with the County Magistrate of Dong County, was jumping around in the cage and squawking, "My lord, my lord! We've been captured! We've been apprehended!"

"Who taught them all this?" Yuwen He took a look and became interested in the parrot.

Chong Yang walked out from behind him, holding back his laughter as he said, "Miss Liangqiu came to the county courthouse last night."

So that's how it was.

"This little guy is quite quick-witted, let's take him back together. When she's bored, she can still relieve her boredom."

Chong Yang nodded and went over to bring the parrot over. County Magistrate Dong's face was filled with pain, "I spent 50 silver to buy that!"

Chong Yang's hands trembled, and he almost threw the bird cage out of his sight, "I'll go! A bird worth fifty taels? How long can a normal family eat for? "

Yuwen He acknowledged, "How much is our Da Xia County Magistrate's monthly salary?"

Chong Yang's eyes rolled around once, but he did not say anything, and carried the bird cage back to Yuwen He's back.

"Return my bird!" County Magistrate Dong shouted in excitement, his body movements extremely violent.

Chong Yue pressed him down onto the stone chair, then heavily sat down, unable to move.

Yuwen He turned around and looked at the bird cage. His long index finger lightly flicked the cage and the parrot immediately flew around screaming, "So scary! "How terrifying!"

He turned away, but the parrot continued to cry out, "How terrifying! "How terrifying!"

The space in the cage was too small. The parrot flapped its wings and lost pieces of its feathers.

Master Dong was so shocked that he was at a loss for words, "You, you guys have so much guts, don't you know the dignity of the Prince Consort's Mansion? Do you know that Prince Consort Sun is my backer! Let go of my bird, my precious thing! "

"Even now, County Magistrate Dong is still thinking about your little bird. I thought you would care even more about your own life."

Yuwen He's gaze lightly landed on his body as he faintly sneered.

Lord Dong's heart went completely cold.

"You, who exactly are you?"

Chong Yang scoffed, "If I say my Patriarch's name, I will scare you to death."

Lord Dong suddenly thought of something. A look of disbelief appeared on his face as he sat there in a daze.

Impossible

How is that possible?

There was a new world in the county yamen's office.

It was an ordinary-looking little room, and behind the shelves, there was a hidden compartment. Elder Chen gingerly opened the secret compartment and led the way in.

For safety's sake, two sergeants accompanied him. Xiao Ruyue and Wang Shangshu were walking at the back.

Inside was a small room, a square table, two chairs, and a bookcase. With a face full of fear, Master Chen used the key to open the cabinet and took out two whole boxes of gold.

The bright yellow gold bar suddenly appeared in front of them. Wang Shangshu and the others were a little surprised, Xiao Ruyue also almost choked on her own saliva.

While the citizens of Qingyang County were eating their fill, the Queen of Qingyang County Order had hidden so much gold. The result was too surprising.

Xiao Ruyue's two delicate eyebrows knitted together.

Wang Shangshu and she looked at each other, then squatted down and fumbled in the cabinet for a while before taking out two books.

The account books collected from the county magistrate showed that the Qingyang County Order had stolen and sold royal food for personal gain and had built embankments without regard for the lives of the people, and had replaced sand and stone with straw and hemp, causing the collapse of the embankments. The evidence was irrefutable. Obedience, strangling.

After the people of Qingyang County saw the official notice that was posted, they rushed to report it. At noon on the day of execution, the execution grounds were crowded with spectators, watching the execution grounds for the victimized citizens of Qingyang County. Everyone applauded the corruption in the court.

The gold and silver found by the yamen were all confiscated. Although the stolen royal food could not be recovered, this money could still be used to repurchase the food and sand for the construction of the dike. The yamen office also reshuffled the food and porridge, and the situation of the victims gradually improved.

The people all said that they were looking forward to the blue sky.

In the tavern, Xiao Ruyue pushed open the door and walked in. She just happened to see Yuwen He writing on a piece of paper.

"Calm and peaceful, neither arrogant nor impetuous." She walked to the table and couldn't help but smile. "Isn't Your Majesty always the one who can hold her calm the most?" We have only been in the Qingyang County for a few days and have already taken care of that greedy County Official Dong. Right now, the Wang Shangshu is temporarily replacing the County Official, the new County Official is already on the way, the dilapidated embankment has been rebuilt under the leadership of the Wang Shangshu, where did the matter come from to make you so arrogant and impatient? "

Yuwen He's mouth formed a smile, and his gaze landed on black and white, "Elder Sister Xiao, don't you think that our trip to Qingyang County was a bit too smooth?"
