shock!After dressing up as a vicious stepmother, I spoiled the villain

(Two thousand words were added to the previous chapter, thank you for reading it)

The full moon was shining in the sky, and the prefect had just finished his official duties and came to the room of a concubine, and was about to relax his muscles and bones with her.

When the activity was about to start, there were rapid footsteps and shouts from outside: "Sir, sir, someone is here to file a complaint!"

The magistrate was kneading the peach with one hand and was so annoyed that he asked him to get out.

He thought the other party would leave, but who knew that the persistent urging began outside the door.

The prefect became even more angry: "You are all just doing nothing! Tell him that if there is a case, we will file it tomorrow."

"Sir, this is a big case."

"Even a big case will have to happen tomorrow!"

The attendant had no choice but to return. After a while, the master's voice sounded outside the door: "Sir, the person suing is the second young master and the fourth young lady of the Qiao family."

Before he finished speaking, a candlestick smashed into the door. The attendant was startled and took a few steps back, but the master had to bite the bullet and continue.

"Sir, Princess Muyang is suing the second young master and the fourth child of the Qiao family for murder. Princess Muyang is also the King of Zhenbei——"

Before he finished speaking, the door creaked open. The prefect lived up to his previous anger and asked with a cold face: "What's going on?"

He is an official of the imperial court. He knows who Princess Muyang is and who Princess Zhenbei is. He knows better than his master.

This princess has been the talk of the people in the capital ever since she married General Zhenbei. The things she does become more and more shocking.

Whether it was raising the two children of the Xiao family, or being sued by Mrs. Xu to the Queen for being unfilial and unjust, and then resolutely separating the family, no one knew about her acquaintance with the Qintian Prison, but there were some insiders in the court. All understood.

She successfully used her connections to send the eldest daughter of General Zhenbei to Qintian Prison, and became a Dharma cultivator that everyone envied. Later, the new rice seeds made her famous.

Although I didn't win the battle with His Majesty, I didn't lose it either. Except for the few cunning elders in the court, no one could do this.

And I heard that she was very fond of the queen, and even the prince took care of her a little bit.

The death of General Zhenbei did not break any woman, and it was she who cleared General Zhenbei's reputation. This princess played an indispensable role in bringing General Zhenbei to the throne.

The King of Zhenbei has not set foot in the capital since his marriage. It can be said that the power Princess Zhenbei has today is mostly the result of her own strategizing.

Although the prefect is serving outside, he is still considered to be of the fourth rank, and he is not without his own power in the court. The prefect is somewhat aware of these deeds of the princess.

He stood outside the door, and a maid immediately came forward to tidy up his clothes that had been scattered while playing with his concubine.

The master recounted the whole thing from beginning to end. After finishing it, he said cautiously: "The official heard about the whole thing and has already sent someone to investigate. Now the killer sent by the Qiao family has been sent to the Yamen Gate. His limbs were broken, but the princess only sent a subordinate to come forward."

The magistrate glanced sideways at the master and said quietly: "Don't say that I only sent one servant. Even if no one comes, I will take care of this matter for her."

The master was in a dilemma: "Then the Qiao family... is quite powerful in Quanzhou."

The most important thing is that he had already received the gift from the Qiao family before this case came to the government.

As for the prefect, just as the two of them were walking out in a hurry, the steward hurried over and looked at the prefect with an undisguised look, indicating that something big was going on.

The prefect thought of what had just happened, took a deep breath and walked to one side with the housekeeper, and then listened to the housekeeper say: "The Qiao family has sent 5 taels, saying that they are asking for mercy and leniency, and there will be a reward after the incident is completed."

It was undeniable that the prefect was very moved.

But no matter how tempted he was, he couldn't make fun of his official position.

"Nonsense. I am an honest and fair person. I handle cases impartially. If the Qiao family is wronged, I will naturally clear both of them. If the Qiao family really commits such a crime, I must punish them severely. How can I tolerate it? The Qiao family's behavior is abominable by showing mercy outside the law. They are trying to drag me into trouble, and I will never comply!"

The butler's eyebrows twitched, adults rarely have such a fair attitude.

This time, the Qiao family was afraid that they would be doomed: "Yes, I understand, I will go back now."

After the steward left, the magistrate looked at the master with deep and sharp eyes: "Don't do stupid things, otherwise I won't be able to protect you when the time comes."

The master broke out in a cold sweat and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, sir, don't worry, I and you are of the same mind."

At this point, I no longer dare to stand for the Qiao family.

The lights in the government office were burning quickly, and the government officials were banging their sticks and shouting powerfully, looking even more solemn in the middle of the night.

The magistrate was wearing official uniform and sitting on the chair of the grand master. There was a sound of alarm in the hall, and his voice was somewhat majestic: "Who are you, and what are you suing for?"

A dozen strong men lay limply on the ground, unable to speak due to pain and fear.

The one who came to Yu Wei's side was Lu Che. He stood there with an intimidating aura: "I am sent by Princess Muyang. Please listen to me and explain this matter in detail."

So he said this for a quarter of an hour.

The prefect has already understood. With all the certification and physical evidence available, and the huge disparity in strength between the two parties, this case is easy to resolve.

Just like the Wu Chengzhao case he solved two days ago, the situation was one-sided and it took no effort to solve it.

But in terms of procedure, he still had to say: "Come here, go to Qiao's house and bring Master Qiao and Miss Qiao to the court to testify."

Yu Wei knew the evolution of the case without guessing.

When she woke up the next morning, she received a message from the prefect to put Second Young Master Qiao and Fourth Miss Qiao into prison, and asked Yu Wei if he had any other instructions.

Yu smiled and asked Ah Jiu to send a message to the attendant who brought the letter: "Just handle it impartially."

When the prefect received the reply, he opened his mouth a lot. The princess was really sensible and would stop when she saw the answer.

In addition, the prefect thought that since the princess came to Quanzhou, it would be fine if she didn't show up. Now that she showed up, she would have to hold a banquet to entertain her.

Of course, it was not appropriate for a concubine to handle this matter, nor was it appropriate for the eldest daughter-in-law to handle it. At this time, the prefect missed Horuke who had returned to her parents' home.

No matter what, I have to invite my wife back. Let the two legitimate sons handle this matter first.

Yu Wei knew that once her identity was exposed, a lot of trouble would follow.

Sure enough, the old lady of the Fu family came to visit early in the morning. It was impossible for Yu Wei to turn her away, so she and the old lady still had something to talk about.

Invite the old lady to sit down in the front hall, and the two of them will drink tea and chat.

"Speaking of which, this house still belongs to the Fu family. When the old lady comes here, it feels like she is back home again."

The old lady laughed: "I am quite old, and it is difficult for me to leave the house unless there is an important event. I know this house, but I have never been there. If the princess likes it, I just happened to bring the deed today. I am happy that the princess can live here. The blessing of the house is just a favor for me."

With that said, she placed the deed on the table and gently pushed it in Yu Wei's direction.
