On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

It was the first time for the common people to see such a friendly princess, and they were so excited that they couldn't believe it.

Someone who was brave asked cautiously:

"Can grassroots really say anything?"

Ning Luo smiled slightly: "As long as it's not nonsense, you can talk about any difficulties you encounter in life. Pick the most important ones."

After saying this, many people couldn't help but laugh. They didn't expect that the Princess Regent was so full of fireworks.

Ning Luo then ordered the government officials: "Go and get paper, pen and ink, and write down all the people's difficulties."

"Yes."

Several government officials immediately went to find paper, pens, tables and chairs.

Ning Luo sat down, while Ling Feng wrote at the side.

It seems that the princess really wants to make decisions for the people.

However, no one dared to talk about the difficulties they encountered recently, because the government officials were staring at them with intimidating eyes, telling them to shut up.

It feels as vicious as eating people.

People are afraid of being reckoned with later.

Ning Luo glanced around and saw the problem.

Be the first to bring up the topic, and speak in an unhurried tone.

"I asked an old man just now. He said that the sergeant gave you biscuits a few days ago, and then the government took them back. Is this happening?"

"Yes." The people felt that this question should be answered.

After all, the government said that this cake was to raise food for the army during the war.

"How many people have turned in the cakes?" Ning Luo asked again, "Those who have handed in the cakes raise their hands."

With a bang, 80% of the people present raised their hands. The others did not raise their hands because they were given Hu cakes and finished them immediately.

The expressions of dozens of state government officials suddenly changed, and they looked at each other in fear. If this matter was exposed, they would not be able to escape their involvement.

I just hope that the prefect Lin will come to the rescue quickly.

"Do you... know where the government keeps the confiscated Hu cakes?"

Ning Luo casually asked a yamen servant.

"I don't know." The yamen servant was afraid of losing his job and planned to kill him.

Because people's livelihood belongs to the prefect and the county government is governed by civilian officials, and military commanders are not allowed to interfere.

Although the Princess Regent has a distinguished status, women have never been allowed to participate in politics. If she cannot dismiss these big men and investigate them, after she leaves, the whistleblowers will suffer.

"Is this collection order issued by the governor of Yucheng?"

The officer kept shaking his head: "I don't know."

Not sure what to ask, Ning Luo frowned and asked the other officials.

"Do you know?"

All shook their heads.

Haha, my tone is quite nervous.

She has worked as an agent and understands psychology. Sometimes if she doesn't say anything, she's saying everything.

Seeing this, the people below did not dare to say a word.

"General Ling, go and call the prefect."

"Yes."

Ling Feng responded, and when he got on his horse, someone announced loudly:

"Prefect Lin is here!"

The common people and government officials knelt down again.

Not far away, several bearers carried a luxurious official sedan to the ground. A yamen servant opened the curtain of the sedan, and Prefect Lin, dressed in a fourth-grade official uniform, stepped out of the sedan.

Seeing the regent's princess in cloth and hairdress, and General Ling also in cloth and fine attire, Prefect Lin's heart suddenly sank.

However, after more than 20 years of experience in officialdom, he has already become tactful.

He stepped forward a little faster and saluted: "I don't know that the regent and the princess are under the command of the General Hussars, but I am not expecting her from afar."

"Keep kneeling. I, the princess, have something to ask you." Ning Luo said, taking out a dagger and a jade seal from his sleeve.

The dagger was a gift from Xiao Ding, and the seal was the regent's official seal.

When Taishou Lin saw these two things, his heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and asked, "I wonder if the regent is well?"

"The regent is recuperating, and I have ordered this princess to temporarily take charge of the government affairs in Northern Xinjiang."

Ning Luo unsheathed it carelessly, playing with the sharp dagger nimbly in his hands. The cold light reflected in front of Prefect Lin's eyes, sending chills down his spine.

"Tell me, where are the Hu cakes handed in by the people?"

"Hu Cake? Your Majesty has never heard of it?" Prefect Lin still had some luck.

He is a fourth-grade official, and if he wants to be dealt with, the emperor must personally order it, and it will be tried by the Ministry of Punishment.

Although the regent can also act on behalf of the government, he is not present.

It seems that this is a veteran and has a very tough mouth.

Ning Luo looked at him coldly, instantly filled with murderous intent.

"Oh, I asked you to eat all the thousands of biscuits that this princess worked so hard to transport from Dawan to you alone?"

"Or is it that your subordinates deceived others and divided the spoils among themselves?"

"If you take bribes and bend the law to enrich yourself, you will be punished by death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger in Ning Luo's hand flew out, and with a whoosh, it hit the official hat on Prefect Lin's head, making it tremble.

"Princess, I really don't know this." Although Taishou Lin was shocked, he had also used this technique to interrogate many prisoners.

After being beaten, he was forced to plead guilty.

Therefore, he decided to deal with it one by one. As long as he did not plead guilty, he could not be convicted.

Bet the regent and princess don't dare to kill him.

In all dynasties, civil servants could not be killed casually.

"The lower official is a fourth-rank official. If the princess feels that the minister has made a mistake, she can report it to the court and have the emperor punish her and let the law deal with her."

Prefect Lin brought out the law to resist.

At the northern border, when the imperial edict arrived, he had already run away, and the Qing Kingdom had already sent experts to pick him up.

"Oh, Mr. Lin may have forgotten what it means to be here, and I will not accept your orders."

Ning Luo's eyes were sharp and he said sternly: "I'll give you a moment to have the confiscated cakes brought back, otherwise, I'll kill you without mercy."

She ordered Ling Feng again:

"General Ling, you also go to the magistrate's office yourself and find the Hu cakes."

"If Prefect Lin is slower than you in bringing back the cakes, the Japanese princess will behead him alive in public today."

"Yes."

Ling Feng immediately took the order and rode away.

Seeing this, Prefect Lin was really panicked.

"The official has indeed confiscated Hu cakes. He kept it secret just now because he worked hard and devoted himself to serving the country. He thought that the government's disaster relief food was not available, so he had to give priority to preparing food for the sergeants in case the war starts again."

"I am sincere to the imperial court and have no selfish thoughts..."

Sure enough, the mouth of a civil servant is a liar. Not only can he tell lies, but he can also confuse right and wrong. He is even more disgusting than a green tea bitch.

If you can use the knife with this kind of scholar, don't use your words.

"If you are loyal or not, I will find out after I dig out your heart and take a look."

Since he was non-violent and non-cooperative, Ning Luo was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He secretly made a secret and cast a body-holding spell to keep him in place and continue to kneel.

Prefect Lin suddenly felt that his legs were numb and he could not move.
