The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 182 Princess Jian'an Arrives
The Temple of Good and Evil was as calm as ever.

But Zheng Nian, who came back today, saw that the calm here was too much.

There wasn't even a soul at the door.

Walking quickly into the gate of the temple, I saw officers and soldiers in red clothes.

Dazhou also had strict regulations on the armor of officers and soldiers. Only officers and soldiers guarding the royal children were eligible to wear red clothes.

And the Habayashi Army, which guards His Majesty the most, wears golden armor.

Therefore, the soldiers in the red armor are all guards, guarding the royal family.

'Come so early?Guess that there are people who can't hold their breath, didn't they guess that there are people who are so impatient, rushing to reincarnate in a hurry? Zheng Nian was not angry.

Walking to the hall in the front yard, Zheng Nian was stopped by two red-armored soldiers.

"Who?" One person asked.

"The master here." Zheng Nian replied.

The two soldiers looked at each other, "Is it Zheng Nian?"

"Yes."

That's when he was let in.

After Zheng Nian entered the door, he saw his mother and Chen Xuan'er sitting under his right hand. At this time, there was a row of soldiers standing in the hall, and a woman was sitting in the center.

There was a screen in front of the woman.

Zheng Nian could only vaguely see a sitting woman behind the screen, with a hairpin and a phoenix, and a person standing beside the woman, but neither male nor female could be discerned.

Chen Xuan'er and her mother saw Zheng Nian walking in at the same time, her mother showed surprise, while Chen Xuan'er frowned slightly worried, walked up to Zheng Nian's side, and whispered, "Brother..."

"Who is this person?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Bastard! You don't kneel down when you see Princess Jian'an!" A heroic voice came from behind the screen, but no matter how thick her voice was, Zheng Nian could tell it was a woman's voice.

'Li Yurui?What is she here for? '

Zheng Nian immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said, "I pay my respects to Princess Jian'an."

"Pingshen." Princess Jian'an's voice was very clear, like a mature big sister.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zheng Nian stood up, lowered his eyebrows at Chen Xuan'er, with a puzzled look on his face.

Chen Xuan'er quickly shook her head, expressing that she didn't know anything, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Jian'an, showing a slightly scared expression.

Zheng Nian understood, and pulled Chen Xuan'er behind him a few times.

"Your Majesty Zheng has really worked hard. I have waited for you here for two full hours, from sunrise to noon. It is a blessing for the people to have this official in Chang'an County. I am very lucky." Princess Jian'an said.

"Your Highness praises me, I went to Dali Temple to inform about the bandit suppression." Zheng Nian knew that lying in front of such a person was a very stupid thing, so he answered honestly.

Princess Jian'an moved her body slightly behind the screen, as if she picked up the teacup, drank it in her mouth, then put it down and said, "I heard rumors that Mr. Zheng Nian, the magistrate of Chang'an County, is a good official in the capital of the world. The parents and officials of Chang'an County benefited the common people, and they were not afraid of dangers, and went to Qingmen County alone to assist Jinyiwei in suppressing the bandits.

"It's even more rumored that Mr. Zheng is the Lord of the Qi Armor as judged by Mr. 37 Jia Weng in the current world evaluation. He is really young and promising, and a young talent."

"There are also many rumors about Mr. Zheng in the palace. The most famous one is that a famous teacher gave birth to a high-ranking apprentice. He is the only high-ranking apprentice of Mr. Wu of Dali Temple. Now he is the number one arrester in Beijing. His cases are solved quickly, even Even the intricate and unresolved case was handled perfectly."

'This series of rainbow farts by Princess Jian'an didn't have any good intentions. Zheng Nian saluted immediately, "The lower officials are terrified."

"I have a case here in this palace, which should have been handed over to Dali Temple, but after much deliberation, I thought it was inappropriate, so I decided to hand it over to Mr. Zheng. I wonder if Mr. Zheng is willing to help me?"

After Princess Jian'an finished speaking, she went to get the tea bowl casually.

Zheng Nian lowered his head and thought.

Since you are handling a case, you should go to the Yamen. You, Princess Jian'an, don't need to beat the grievance drum, but you still have to enter the six doors. At worst, I will just open the front door for you to enter.

But she didn't do that, but directly entered the Temple of Good and Evil with the guards.

This is to tell Zheng Nian clearly, you have to listen to what I say today, you have to bear it when I scold you, and you have to bear it when I beat you, because this plaque is of no use in my eyes.

Zheng Nian was already at a disadvantage in the balance of power. This was also the best way to suppress, and it put the greatest pressure on the magistrate.

Then there is flattery, first let your mother and your wife sit in the hall, and then listen to me brag about you, let everyone know that I hired you to handle the case because you are a good official and have enough ability, not because A prince or something like that.

I'm not here to grab power and kill people, but to find you to handle the case.

Zheng Nian didn't refuse, and he couldn't refuse. Most importantly, he had no reason to refuse. Princess Jian'an had already said the reason why he could refuse.

"I would like to hear the details." Zheng Nian said four words.

Princess Jian'an smiled, put the teacup on the table beside her, and snapped her fingers.

The woman behind the screen came out with a huge box in her hand. Her eyes were not good-looking, and she did look like a man.

Walking over with big strides, he opened the box in his hand, revealing a guqin inside.

This violin is very elegant and has a lot of charm.

The floor of the qin is made of huanghuali wood, and there seems to be a story painted on it. Zheng Nian didn't have the heart to read it, but just glanced at it, waiting for Princess Jian'an to speak.

"Hold the zither, come in." After Princess Jian'an finished speaking, she turned around and entered the inner hall.

Zheng Nian was taken aback, but still obediently picked up Qin and walked into the inner hall.

Lowering his head, Zheng Nian kept holding the piano in his hand, not daring to raise his head.

Princess Jian'an sat on the seat inside and said softly, "Sit down."

"I don't dare to be an official," Zheng Nian said.

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were strict, and there were as many as a hundred laws about princes and princesses.

It is the crime of looking down at the princess, which is like humiliating the face of the royal family. At least, they will be punished eighty times, gouging out their eyes, and at worst, they will be beheaded.

If you are in the same room with the princess, you are not allowed to sit, kneel, bend down, etc., you have to bow your head to the ground or turn around to face the wall.

Zheng Nian faced the wall.

"I asked you to sit, but you didn't sit?" Princess Jian'an said coldly.

"Don't dare." Zheng Nian said.

"Come here." Princess Jian'an calmly said, "Leave his mother behind, and drag the others into the street and behead them."

"Yes!" The woman responded and was about to go out.

Zheng Nian immediately sat down on the chair.

Princess Jian'an smiled, "Okay."

The woman stood at the door again.

"Look up." Princess Jian'an said again.

"It's better to kill me directly." Zheng Nian said.

"it is good."

Princess Jian'an drew out her long sword from nowhere, and slashed at Zheng Nian's neck.

Zheng Nian neither dodged nor blocked.

There is no murderous intent, and no luck energy.

Princess Jian'an is testing him.

The long sword stopped above the neck.
