Transformed into a vicious concubine? Being led by the eldest sister is annoying
Chapter 427: Arrival at Yong'an County
The letter described in detail the various evil deeds committed by the Liu family in Xianyang City, including abducting women, forcing women of good character into prostitution, and oppressing the people. Every one of them was outrageous.
Only then did they understand why the emperor was so angry.
The emperor looked at the silent officials and his anger grew even stronger.
"The Liu family has committed many evil deeds, and yet you still have someone to plead for them? I will dismiss Lord Zhang from his post today, and see who dares to speak for the Liu family!"
After retiring from court, the angry emperor went straight to the Queen's Fengyu Palace.
However, he was stopped by Concubine Liu halfway.
Concubine Liu was wearing gorgeous palace clothes, her face was haggard, and her eyes were full of tears.
She knelt down with a plop and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, I beg you to spare my parents. They must have been wronged."
The emperor looked at Concubine Liu in front of him and felt heartbroken. "The Liu family's crime is unforgivable. If you hadn't given birth to the second prince for me, your Liu family would have been executed!"
Concubine Liu burst into tears and held tightly onto the emperor's clothes, refusing to let go.
"Your Majesty, I grew up in the Liu family. My parents loved me very much. I beg Your Majesty to spare their lives for my sake."
The emperor fiercely shook off Concubine Liu's hand and said angrily: "Your parents committed such a serious crime. If I forgive them, how can I explain to the people of the world? If you plead for the Liu family again, you will be banished to the cold palace!"
After saying this, the emperor left without looking back.
Concubine Liu slumped on the ground, looking at the emperor's departing back in despair.
She knew that the Liu family was really finished this time.
At the end of December, the cold wind blew as sharp as a knife, and snowflakes fluttered in the sky.
After a long journey through the ice and snow, King Chen and his companions finally arrived in Yong'an County.
The city gate of Yong'an County looks a little mottled in the wind and snow, and the heavy city gate seems to carry the vicissitudes of time.
The group stepped into the city gate. The dirt road under their feet was bumpy and the carriage made a creaking sound as it bumped forward on it.
The snow on the road was crushed by the wheels, revealing the muddy ground, making the journey more difficult.
On both sides of the street are houses made of mud.
These houses look simple and dilapidated, and seem like they may collapse at any time in the cold wind.
The soil on the wall has peeled off a little, revealing the rough bricks and stones inside.
The thatch on the roof was covered with snow, and occasionally a few strands were blown up by the wind, swaying in the wind.
The streets were deserted, with hardly any vendors to be seen.
There were only a few scattered shops, low conversations could be heard occasionally from the teahouse, the restaurant sign swayed slightly in the wind, and the brothel was deserted.
Business at the grain and cloth shops seemed slow as well; their doors were closed, with only the signs at the doors announcing their existence.
In the carriage, Bai Qianqian looked at the scene outside through the window, and her face became increasingly worse.
She had known for a long time that Yong'an County was poor, but she had never expected it to be this poor.
Everything before her filled her heart with worry and uneasiness.
She was silent, her mind full of thoughts.
Yong'an County is so poor. As the county lord, how can she change the current situation here?
A strong sense of responsibility surged in her heart, and she secretly made up her mind to make Yong'an County prosperous.
In silence, the carriage finally slowly stopped in front of the county lady's mansion.
The gate of the County Princess' Mansion looked a bit old, and the three words "County Princess' Mansion" on the plaque on the door seemed a bit blurry in the wind and snow.
Bai Qianqian took a deep breath, got off the carriage, and looked at the mansion in front of her, feeling filled with emotion.
King Chen frowned slightly, looked at Bai Qianqian who looked a little worried in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, although this place is poor, we will definitely find a way to make sure the people have enough food and clothing."
Bai Qianqian sighed softly, shook her head helplessly, then slowly raised her hand, took out a somewhat old key from her sleeve, and threw it to Qingyan beside her.
Qingyan quickly grabbed the key, turned around and walked towards the slightly dilapidated gate of the county lady's mansion.
With a creaky sound, the heavy door was slowly pushed open, and a strong musty smell instantly hit me in the face.
Bai Qianqian and the others subconsciously took a few steps back, frowned, and gently fanned their hands in front of them, trying to dispel the unpleasant smell.
Xie Mochen looked at the situation in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Mo Si, you stay and have someone clean up the county lord's mansion. We will stay in the inn for two days and come back after this place is cleaned up."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Qianqian tenderly, took her hand, and turned around to leave with the children.
However, before they had taken a few steps, they heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
Soon, a group of people came hurriedly and blocked their way.
The leader was wearing the county magistrate's official robe, which looked too tight on his fat body.
This man had a fat head and big ears, and his round belly bulged out like a huge ball, as if it might burst his official robe at any time.
His face was filled with anger, his eyes narrowed, he waved his hands vigorously, and shouted: "Catch these daring people! How dare they touch the county lady's mansion!"
The officers behind him immediately surrounded him like wolves and tigers, with sticks raised high, ready to arrest people at any time.
King Chen's face suddenly turned gloomy. He hugged Bai Qianqian tightly and protected the children behind him.
His eyes shot at the county magistrate like a sharp sword, and he said coldly: "Do you know who we are? How dare you be so presumptuous."
The county magistrate puffed out his chest, raised his head arrogantly, and said nonchalantly: "No matter who you are, you can't touch the county lady's mansion."
Bai Qianqian broke free from King Chen's arms, took a step forward, and her eyes revealed a sense of majesty.
She looked cold and said in a firm voice, "I am the Princess of Yong'an County. What can I teach you?"
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment and looked Bai Qianqian up and down with suspicion.
He obviously didn't believe that the seemingly weak woman in front of him was the county lady. "You said she was the county lady, so she must be the county lady? What's the proof?"
Bai Qianqian narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes, "How dare you, a mere county magistrate, question this princess?"
The county magistrate was intimidated by Bai Qianqian's aura, but he still said stubbornly: "Without evidence, I cannot believe it."
Although I said that, I was extremely panicked.
Why did the county lord come here suddenly?
I haven't received any letter before.
He has been squeezing a lot of money from the people over the years.
The name of the county lord is still being hit.
More importantly, the ledgers have not been destroyed.
Who could have thought that the county princess, who was already the Princess of Chen, would suddenly come to Yong'an County.
Xie Mochen sneered, "You are such a fool as a county magistrate. It's fine if you didn't welcome the county lady, but you even want to arrest her."
When the county magistrate heard this, his face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
