Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 683

Chapter 683 A Brilliant Scheme

What else could he do? Naturally, she could do whatever she wanted!

The county magistrate was very skilled in observing the situation. He nodded and bowed to Su Wanwan, “Young lady, please sit down. Let’s talk slowly. This man, I want to interrogate him first, isn’t he guilty?”

“Sure.” Su Wanwan nodded. Immediately, a few sharp-eyed policemen moved over two large chairs and said, “Miss, Young Master is wronged by the yamen. Please sit down quickly.”

Su Wanwan nodded. Just as she was about to sit down, the constable who had brought the stool bent down and wiped the stool with his sleeve. The other constable handed over the cushion and smiled all the way.

Su Wanwan sat down satisfactorily, so did Qi Chengfeng. The two of them almost looked at the man with their legs crossed.

The man was stunned for a moment. He pointed at Su Wanwan in shock and said, “Why did they come in with chairs? Why didn’t I?”

The county magistrate coughed and slapped the shocking wood, saying, “This person has a fantasy. He actually wants to go wild in the yamen and close it for five days.”

The man was unhappy. He pointed at Qi Chengfeng and Su Wanwan and said, “County magistrate! What kind of crime is this? I came here today wrongly. You should have arrested them, not me!”

“This person tried to get off the hook and even threw the pot at someone else. He’s in a bad situation, so he’ll be locked up for another month.” The county magistrate said.

The man was stunned and said, “County magistrate! My wife and I originally only wanted to ask for some money from them, but who would have thought that they would walk so fast and ask my wife to make a small birth? It’s really too much!”

“The world is really going downhill!” The county magistrate shook his head again and said, “This official sees that you are young. Once you have a wife and she is pregnant, you should be held responsible! Why are you taking your wife to the streets to beg? It really ruins the morals of the people!”

After saying that, he shook his head with a look of disdain on his face. “This person’s influence on the morals of the people is really serious. He’s being locked up for three months!” He added.

That person was stunned. Why did the county magistrate always increase his punishment? And he’s not begging! “He is my mother-in-law’s younger brother! He must be right to ask him for some money! If he doesn’t want to escape, you actually want to punish him for an unfilial crime!” The man pointed at Qi Chengfeng, his heart filled with apprehension when he saw the shocking wood rise and fall again.

“Huh?” The county magistrate was almost amused. He already knew Su Wanwan’s identity. Su Wanwan was the princess, so who was this man who was intimate with her not the prince?

Now that this person actually said that his wife and the prince were siblings, the county magistrate laughed and said, “Is your wife really his sister?”

“It’s his sister-in-law.” The man said.

After thinking for a while, the man added, “It’s his ex-sister-in-law.”

Oh roar! That sounds like a lot of information!

The county magistrate rubbed his chin and looked at the man. “Are you sure you didn’t lie to this official?” He said.

“Yes.” The man nodded like garlic.

The county magistrate ordered people to investigate immediately and took out the case file. He said, “Your wife, Madam Lian, the Li family made mistakes before and are now in prison. Your wife was saved from suffering only because she was pregnant and the people pleaded for mercy. Now that you have personally come to the house, it can be said that the old matter has been brought up again!”

“Crime?” The man was stunned.

“Yes! It’s a crime!” The county magistrate nodded. After knowing Su Wanwan’s true identity, he had sent people to inquire about Qi Chengfeng and learned a lot about him.

The Li Clan’s actions towards Qi Chengfeng were truly vile, and the punishment was within their expectations.

Now he actually had the audacity to ask for money shamelessly, it was truly too much!

The county magistrate said indifferently, “This person is inhumane. His wife is pregnant and ignores him. For the sake of money, she drags him down and beats him 20 times. He will be imprisoned in the cell for three years.”

“Ah! County magistrate, spare me!” Hearing that he was about to be beaten, the man was shocked. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, “Although I am Lian Qiuyun’s husband in name, she only followed me. I did not bring him to my family’s family tree. I am not her husband. You cannot punish me!”

“Is this really the case? Are you sure you didn’t marry her?” The county magistrate asked with a frown.

“Yes.” The man immediately nodded.

Hearing the county magistrate calmly say, “Since that is the case, then you are accepting her for the sake of getting a wife. It is simply a disgrace to the customs. Drag it down and beat up thirty people again, and imprison them for two years!”

“Ah!” The man was frightened out of his wits, and when he was about to drag his arrest down, he shouted, “Don’t do this, let me go! I’m willing to pay five taels of silver to get rid of this disaster!”

Although he was in a catastrophe, the county magistrate was also in a catastrophe when facing the highly ranked Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng. Compared to a mere five taels of silver like a human head, it was nothing.

This man was simply trying to lure him into committing a crime! The county magistrate’s face darkened as he said, “Bribe the imperial court official in public. Drag him down, beat him 50 times, throw him into the prison cell, and imprison him for three years.”

That was fifty big boards! Is he still alive? The man trembled in fright, but there was nothing he could do. Who let him provoke someone he shouldn’t have provoked? In addition, his actions were wrong, so the punishment could only be increased, not weakened.

After the man was dragged down, the county magistrate dismissed the constables, then knelt down and bowed, saying, “Your Highness Qian’an, Princess Qian’an.”

“Yes.” Su Wanwan nodded and immediately explained to the county magistrate the reason for their arrival, informing him of the Jiang Clan’s geographical location and revealing, “The Jiang Clan was the one who robbed Guan Yin 20 years ago. As for the past few years, what they have been doing is also illegal business. When did you send someone over to capture them?”

“Go tomorrow!” The county magistrate nodded.

“Tomorrow will be too hasty.” Su Wanwan nodded. She took out a bottle of medicine and said, “The Jiang family has no food left. They will definitely come to the town to buy rice today. You disguise yourself and order people to sell the rice to them. We’ll catch them the next day.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The county magistrate nodded and said, “What medicine is in this porcelain bottle?”

“A laxative.” Su Wanwan said indifferently.

The county magistrate was shocked and stunned, then said, “This little laxative doesn’t work, does it?”

“This is a concentrated laxative. This little bit of ginseng and ten thousand jin of rice are enough.” Su Wanwan said as she looked at the county magistrate, “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you have a meal?”

“No, no!” The county magistrate immediately shook his head, “The medicine given by the princess will definitely be useful!”

“You’re smart.” Qi Chengfeng said, and then said, “When their stomachs hurt and they don’t have any strength left, wouldn’t it be easy for you to catch them?”

“This …” Wonderful!

The county magistrate nodded and placed the item in his arms like a treasure.

Su Wanwan was fine, so she went out. The county magistrate respectfully sent the two of them out of the county government.

Not long after Su Wanwan left with Qi Chengfeng, she was suddenly stopped by an old man on the street. The man gritted his teeth and said, “I finally caught you!”
