Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong

"How many people died of starvation in our village last year? Go to the back mountain and take a look. How many bones are there? I can hear the cries of my miserable children in my dreams at night."

"For winter last year, our family only had one winter cotton-padded jacket, and whoever went out would wear it..."

"My father froze to death on New Year's Eve... He didn't even see the sun on New Year's Day..."

"How many members of our family..."

"My father died miserably..."

Yun Qingluo felt very cold in her heart when she heard the cries of the people below.

This group of people is simply more vicious than the devil. This is simply man-eating man.

Hundreds of people died silently. It would be so sad if my parents knew about it.

Yun Qingluo's voice was cold, "Since hundreds of lives were lost, why didn't anyone outside know about it? Why didn't anyone in the General's Mansion know about it?"

"They bribed the surrounding yamen by relying on the fact that they are members of the royal family. As long as the money is available, those officials will turn a blind eye. How can they meddle in the business of us little people?"

Yuntao said angrily, "Hundreds of lives? Is this called idleness?"

"I once heard those housekeepers talking secretly, saying that the people in the palace have been bribed by them, so they have tampered with the accounts every year, and the masters can't see anything wrong.

And they heard that the princess wanted to choose some Zhuangzi as a dowry, so they gave the steward a lot of money and asked the steward to speak more favorably for Zhuangzi in front of the general and his wife, so that Zhuangzi could be included in the princess's dowry.

"I also heard from the stewards that the princess is a womanizer and easy to fool. When the time comes, the prince's family has a big business and will not be able to deal with them at all. Then they will feel more comfortable."

Yun Tao angrily raised her sleeves, "Bah, you don't even have to urinate to see if you are rich or not. You dare to think about it. With so many lives on your hands, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. It’s so abominable... No, I’m going to settle the score with them.”

After Yun Tao finished speaking, she lifted up her sleeves and was about to go to the side hall, but Yun Xin grabbed her and said, "Hey, don't mess around. The princess has her own arrangements. Don't mess up the princess's plan."

Yun Qingluo glanced at the people below, "It's not like we haven't inspected Zhuangzi in previous years. Last year's inspection didn't find that there were few people. Why?"

An old man sighed and said loudly, "Princess, those stewards got the message long before the inspection. They will rent some people elsewhere to deal with the inspection."

"Renter?" Yun Qingluo listened with curiosity.

"Yes, many villagers deliberately underreport their headcount in order to pay less taxes and rent. Therefore, these shady households are often rented by other villages to deal with inspections from above. This is a common thing in the village."

Yun Qingluo took a breath, "With so many strange faces, won't they be discovered?"

"No. As long as you see about the same number of heads in the fields, who would recognize them one by one? Each farm head will avoid this happening. Besides, the people who patrol have been bribed and won't care at all."

An Jiu and others were extremely angry after hearing this. They walked to Yun Qingluo and whispered, "Princess, why don't I go find Han Shaoqing from Dali Temple..."

Yun Qingluo raised her hand to stop An Jiu's words, "We'll talk later, An Jiu, you and Yuntao register the details of each tenant farmer in a book. I'll check it tonight and make a decision."

After saying that, Yun Qingluo walked towards the side hall with a pale face.

Yun Qingluo deliberately walked softly, and as expected, she heard a lot of discussion inside:

"Princess, what do you mean? You must have discovered it, right?"

"Who knew that the princess would come to inspect yesterday? There was no preparation before. The princess was notified until she was almost here. There was no time to rent someone."

"Huh, I originally went there yesterday, but they knew we were in an urgent situation, so they raised the price, but the negotiation didn't work out..."

"You greedy fool, is this the time to discuss how much money you have? I knew I would go with you last night."

"Okay, stop talking. I'm just a yellow-haired girl. Looking at you one by one, those who don't know would think the emperor is here..."

"Hey, no, even if the emperor comes, we are not afraid. Who doesn't know..."

"Shut up, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

"Stand still, look at your dead looks, your backs are straight, even if you are afraid, it is the princess who is afraid of us..."

Yun Qingluo snorted coldly and walked in, "Oh? Then tell me, steward, why is this princess afraid of you?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and turned around and knelt down to salute. Yun Qingluo didn't look at them and slowly walked towards the seat.

Everyone just smelled a strange fragrance, but they couldn't tell what it was, but it smelled really good, so they took a few more sniffs.

Yun Qingluo sat down and adjusted her sleeves, "Everyone, get up. This princess is terrifying to death. How dare I make you kneel down."

"Princess, calm down, they are talking nonsense, I will punish them when I get back."

"What's the punishment?" Yun Qingluo raised his eyes and looked at the steward who spoke.

Manager Wang was stunned when he heard this, and he casually said, how could it be possible to be punished?

But I heard Yun Qingluo say, "I have long heard that the late emperor governed the country well and that the people under his leadership, even the lowest servants, knew some rules. Now I also want to gain experience in the steward's place, so, Manager Wang, tell me, what should be the punishment for the situation just now?"

Manager Wang, a smart person, had already come to his senses and hurriedly said with a smile, "The princess was joking. This is just some nonsense. How can we take it seriously?"

The implication is that the princess is too petty.

Yun Qingluo's face turned cold, "They dare to talk about the regent princess at will. Isn't this the following crime?"

Everyone's hearts tightened. It would be a serious crime to commit this crime.

Seeing the change in the princess's face, Manager Wang immediately did not dare to deal with it. After thinking for a while, Baba said, "I will definitely punish them when I go back."

Yun Qingluo remained silent and stared at Manager Wang indifferently.

Manager Wang was so frightened that he was being stared at that he couldn't help but trembled and said, "Twenty big boards each, Princess, what do you think?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. They looked at Manager Wang with resentment in their eyes, but Yun Qingluo was prevented from getting angry.

Yun Qingluo saw everyone's performance in his eyes, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Isn't this a bit too cruel?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

The princess only said the punishment, but did not say how to punish her. The king was really good at flattering people.

Manager Wang also felt the gazes around him, and suddenly felt distressed in his heart.

To put it mildly, this ancestor still held on to it, but now to put it more seriously, it doesn't work.

He finally understood that the princess did it on purpose, she wanted them to be in chaos.

Before Steward Wang could say anything, he heard Yun Qingluo say again, "Now everyone in Zhuangzi is counting on them for food. Even if Steward Wang is willing to part with it, I, the Princess, will not be able to part with it."

Manager Wang was stunned, what do you mean by this? He was the head of the village, so why did he expect them to eat?

"What do you mean, Princess?" Manager Wang's face turned cold.

Yun Qing chuckled, "Hey, don't pretend anymore?"
