As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, a Yamen officer immediately rushed towards Xue Jinruo, but she did not move for a moment and just stood there quietly.

Just when she was about to be caught, a government official outside reported, "The Prince Regent has arrived!"

For a moment, everyone in the room knelt down in unison, including member Wu who kept grinning ferociously on his chair. Among the crowd, only Xue Jin stood tall like a chicken without kneeling.

"Prince Regent, why don't you kneel down? You will suffer it later." Mr. Liu also ran from behind the table to the front and knelt down. He glanced at Xue Jinruo and muttered.

Sheng Jingze saw Xue Jinruo immediately after he came in. He walked up and called out: "Princess."

The sound seemed to explode in the room like thunder, especially in the ears of Mr. Liu and Mr. Wu, and it made them unable to find their way around.

The shopkeeper of this small medical clinic is actually the regent princess?

Mr. Liu glanced at Yuanwai Wu with a hateful look, as if to say: This time you have caused me great harm.

"Your Majesty, there are officials acting like this under the emperor's feet. Shouldn't they be severely punished?" Xue Jinruo immediately grasped Sheng Jingze's identity and prepared to ask him to stand up for him.

"What kind of thing?" Sheng Jingze glanced at Mr. Liu and the Yamen servants lightly. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to raise them.

Member Wu even slipped off his stool. You can imagine that he was also frightened.

He can walk sideways in this capital city, and he has made friends with countless dignitaries, but people like the regent are not something he can come into contact with, so this is why he often walks by the river. No wet shoes.

"Why don't you just take the money and indiscriminately accuse ordinary people like us? Just now..." Xue Jinruo told Sheng Jingze the whole story.

Mr. Liu and Wu Yuanwei were secretly stunned when they heard this. Can your dignified regent be considered a commoner?

But just think about these words in your mind. If you really put it on the surface, it is simply because you don't want your life to be long.

While listening to Xue Jinruo's statement, Sheng Jingze walked towards Mr. Liu's seat. When he got there, Xue Jinruo had just finished speaking.

He picked up the gavel on the table, patted it hard and said, "Since no one refutes it, does that mean that everything the princess said is true?"

Mr. Liu kept kowtowing and admitting his mistake: "Your Majesty, it was the lower official who was so obsessed with it that he did such a ridiculous thing. Please punish me."

"Since you brought it up, I will remove you from your official position first, and then I will slowly try you for taking bribes and dereliction of duty." Sheng Jingze said coldly.

Mr. Liu's heart thumped as soon as he heard this. This charge of dereliction of duty is a serious one. If he really wanted to pursue it, it would be a small thing for him to lose his official position. He might even lose his life because of it. He thought in his mind and couldn't help but glare at Wu Yuanwai again. He thought to himself, "I'll do it." I shouldn't have said that I would charge you a few thousand taels of silver.

After thinking about it, Mr. Liu's mind suddenly changed. I wonder if moving that person out can save his life?

At this time, Wu Yuanwai was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't say a word. The pressure Sheng Jingze put on him was nothing compared to the pressure put on him by ordinary officials and officials.

"Your Majesty the Regent, the junior official did take bribes, but," he paused for a moment, then plucked up the courage to stand up and said with a sneer: "But I am a member of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you want to touch me... Don’t you have to weigh it up?”

If ordinary people heard Sheng Chengjie's name, they might be shocked, but Mr. Liu hit the wall today.

Xue Jinruo originally hated Sheng Chengjie because of the Xue family's affairs, but she didn't expect that the medical center would end up going around him, which made her even more angry.

"Xiaochun, go to their back hall to find out if Mr. Liu has any other evidence of guilt. You can't just take advantage of him today." Xue Jinruo ordered coldly.

"Yes, Princess." Xiaochun agreed and rushed into the back hall.

Mr. Liu became anxious when he heard this. What kind of business is this?There is a characteristic in his life. When accepting bribes, he doesn't like banknotes, but only likes serious money. So now the money in the back hall is piled up like a mountain. Is it okay for Xiaochun to see it?

What's more, there are letters exchanged between him and Sheng Chengjie. In fact, he gave Sheng Chengjie a lot of money before getting in touch with him. Otherwise, how could he attract the prince's attention based on his status?

Today's money has not been collected yet, and the money sent by Wu Yuanwai is still piled up in the back hall. He also thought of this, and stood up with Mr. Liu to stop Xiaochun.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, you two! Princess!" Xiaochun couldn't get through being blocked by the two people, so he could only seek help from Xue Jinruo.

Xue Jinruo agreed, knocked the two of them to the ground together with Xiaochun, and rushed into the back hall to look for evidence of the crime.

As soon as I entered the back hall, my eyes were hurt by the bright silver. The back hall was filled with money everywhere, and there wasn't even a place to get around. It made people think they were dreaming.

Xue Jinruo walked hard among them and found several letters beside the desk, all of which were to and from Sheng Chengjie. She glanced at them and her face darkened.

When he was about to take it out to show Sheng Jingze, he found that Xiaochun was still standing in the middle of the silver on the ground.

"Xiaochun?" Xue Jinruo called.

"Ah, here comes the princess. I have never seen so much money before, and I am a little scared." Xiaochun scratched his head and said sheepishly.

The two of them walked outside. When Mr. Liu saw the letter in Xue Jinruo's hand, his face turned pale and he sat on the ground in vain.

"My lord, look."

Sheng Jingze glanced at it for a few times, then patted the gavel hard again.

"Colluded with the prince, accepted bribes, neglected his duties and violated the law, oppressed the villagers..." He paused here, took a deep breath and continued: "Come here, let's have a knife at Caishikou and let the common people take a good look at the fate of this corrupt official. ."

Immediately, guards rushed up and took the person to Caishikou.

……

The news that Mr. Liu was beheaded by the regent spread like wildfire, and for a while the people in the capital gathered towards the Yamen, shouting at the same time that they wanted to see the regent.

Unexpectedly, it was a woman who came out.

"Strange, how come the regent turned into a woman?"

"Stupid, you don't need to think about it to know that it is definitely not the regent, maybe it is the princess?"

"What princess? That person is obviously the shopkeeper of Qing Yu Tang."

……

The people talked about everything.

Xue Jinruo clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and shouted loudly: "Black pimples are very harmful to people. If there are people who are suffering from them and really want to get rid of black pimples, come to Qingyutang——"
