After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

"Did the princess prepare it for us?"

Ning Suo went back from the princess and took a few more detours, and finally returned to the headquarters of Heyingmen. Xu Wu and others curiously approached him to find out if the princess had any new errands to give. Ning Suo told them about the box first.

"Previously, news about the royal palace's medical consultations and various purchases were flying all over the sky. To be honest, I felt a little envious. It's not that I was greedy for that little thing, so I felt that I was at a loss. She was a girl from our family. Let those in the palace People are blessed.”

Ju Wei, who was standing by, laughed and said, "I am becoming more and more courageous. I dare to talk about your family and the girl from our princess's palace."

Xu Wu was unconvinced, "Not from our family? We are not from the princess's mansion? The princess's mansion is not our home?"

"The princess said when she adopted us, the princess' mansion is our home."

Ju Wei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we are from the same family. The princess is our girl. That's alright. Why didn't you say that the princess is your sister?"

Xu Wu didn't say anything, he didn't dare to say this, but in his heart he thought the princess was a girl. How old was the princess when they first met her.

Ning Suo had already opened the box, which contained 10,000 taels of silver notes and a pile of wound medicine. Ning Suo picked up a bottle of wound medicine and smelled it at the tip of his nose. As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was the best wound medicine. Some things are "good things to save your life. Let's each take some for emergencies. We will all share the money later. This is given to us by the princess, so it will not be recorded in the account."

They prefer wound medicine to money. To be honest, most of the people who follow the princess are not short of money. The princess is particularly generous to them. With the money they earn now, they can be considered rich brothers when they go out, right?

"Put your things away, we're about to start work."

As soon as they heard that the princess had a new errand, everyone stopped smiling and became serious.

Ning Suo started to take action, and people from the prefect Yang also escorted Zhang Yuanwai and others to the government office. Many people watched on the road. At the same time, many rumors also quietly spread in the city. Some princes came to Yongcheng. There began to be an astonishing appetite among families for giving gifts. Some people said that the government oppressed the people, imposed excessive taxes and made the people miserable, and even a single spark could start a prairie fire.

"Sir, you can check when I'm at home. It's true that there is no food. In the past few years, there were either natural disasters or locust plagues. Our Zhang family gave out porridge every day, but there was no food at all."

Zhang Yuanwai was impassioned, and many people came to the government office. One of them took the lead in creating public opinion, "Zhang Yuanwai is a good person. That year, the family couldn't open the pot. The court didn't care, and the government didn't care. I ate the porridge that Zhang Yuanwai served." Come alive.”

"Yes, Yuan Wai Zhang is a good person."

The people also began to agree. They only knew that at the critical moment, the Yamen had no food to help them, and it was Zhang Yuanwai who kept them from starving to death.

The corners of Yuan Zhang's lips curled up slightly, and the people from the government office stepped forward to scold the noisy people, "Giving porridge is one thing, but what we are talking about now is not paying back the taxes and grain owed to the court, so we can't mix it up."

"My lord, what you mean is that Zhang Yuanwai should not support us. The imperial court has collected taxes and grains. Where is the grain?"

"You can't help but watch us starve to death."

"Bold, it is a serious crime to make irresponsible remarks about the imperial court. Do you dare to make any noise again?"

After all, the common people were timid and came just to watch the excitement, so they kept their mouths shut. Magistrate Yang understood the scene clearly and felt that these gentry were really bold and dared to go against the court. "I will ask you today, do you still have this food?" return?"

Zhang Yuanwai raised his hand and said, "Sir, we want to pay it back, but we don't have it. Even if you want it, you have to wait until we collect the food. How can you say you want it?"

Several people behind him said, "Yeah, yeah," and Magistrate Yang didn't talk nonsense to them. "It seems that you are all tough-talking. It's hard to do without punishment. Come here, give them twenty slaps each, and they will be executed immediately."

He must let the princess see his attitude, and he is not afraid of making things worse.

People outside started making loud noises again. With a look from Magistrate Yang, the officials came forward and arrested the people who made the most noise. They were also slapped with a slap in the face. They were charged with yelling in court, disturbing the handling of the case, and taking the lead in causing trouble.

There was a lot of wailing for a while. Zhang Yuanwai and others were working under supervision. It looked like they were bruised and bruised, but in fact they were just traumatized. The troublemaker was actually beaten and cried like a pig.

The people did not dare to speak, but they were just glad that they did not make trouble.

After being slapped and dismissed, Magistrate Yang looked at a few people after everyone outside had left. "It's not that I want to embarrass you. It's just that the court only has regulations to deal with. It would be rude to refuse to pay your dues when you owe food. How could I do that?" You still dare to resist taxes. If you make it difficult for me, I will not be able to give you face."

"I don't want to do anything to you. You have also felt that the person who slapped you has good skills. If you slow down for a few days, you will be able to move freely. Unlike those troublemakers, don't say whether you can save your waist or not. Very."

"I am taking special care of you by letting you go back now. You must know that according to the rules, you should go to jail, when will I see your food, and when can you go out. This will be more beneficial to me. I hope you will not let it down. It’s only with my kindness.”

This was the first time that these gentry had seen Magistrate Yang like this. You must know that Magistrate Yang had been very polite to everyone since he arrived in Yongcheng. He would not refuse anyone who gave him anything, and he often opened the door for them. , making them feel that officials are nothing more than that and can be bribed.

But now that he has turned his back, these people know what a real official is like.

Zhang Yuanwai reluctantly gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, we had a good relationship before, my wife."

"That's right, we are still our sons and daughters' in-laws. Because of this, you, my in-laws, must support me even more."

Want to threaten him?

The prince is afraid that he has been thoroughly investigated a long time ago. He has indeed received benefits from so many people, but he has not done anything harmful to the world. The prince said that he can protect him by exchanging his merits.

Is he wrong for selling these people out for the sake of their future?

"I want to see the grain within three days. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude."

The news quickly reached Yan Mu'an's ears. In the evening of that day, Yan Mu'an summoned Magistrate Yang, "Mr. Yang's vigorous and resolute behavior has impressed this princess, especially since you and the Zhang family are in-laws. In this way, you will stand in front of the gentry like Yongcheng. The opposite is gone.”

Magistrate Yang bowed his hands and said, "It is Xiaguan's duty to share the worries of the prince and princess. At that time, Xiaguan's concubine fell in love with the boy from the Zhang family. Xiaguan did not agree, but the girl would not marry him except that boy, so Xiaguan also I can only bite the bullet and agree."

"But the official has always been pretending to be the court and the emperor in his heart. The Zhang family and others' resistance to tax has harmed the interests of the imperial court. Even if the official kills his relatives for the sake of justice, he can still handle this matter."

Yan Mu'an saw through it but didn't say anything, and just smiled and said, "Zhifu Yang is righteous. I heard that Zhifu Yang's son is engaged to the daughter of the ninth master of the Yong family. I have met the girl. She is a beautiful woman with good looks and wisdom. She is currently studying in the palace. According to the rules, this counts Magistrate Yang and this princess as in-laws."

Governor Yang.

I have completely forgotten about this, and I really want to look up to the sky and laugh. What’s going on?
