The female supporting role never believes in fate

"Your Highness, the grassroots have been wronged!"

In Tongcheng, a "remote" place, to see the fourth prince again, Liu Zeming was surprised and then terrified.

Therefore, when all the young masters looked ignorant, Liu Zeming took the lead in calling for grievances.

"Caomin just came here and made a few friends. I don't know why they got involved in right and wrong. Your Highness, Caomin's father, Cao Yong, is the head of the Criminal Department. Caomin was also taught by his father since he was a child, to follow the rules and not dare to go beyond. There may be some misunderstandings. Yes Didn't I complain about Ms. Cheng after drinking a few days ago, and was misunderstood by my friends, so they took action to vent my anger on me? Ms. Cheng, I didn't mean it. We only met once that day, and we didn't meet again after that. Please persuade Your Highness, Let's bypass it!"

Liu Zeming broke his defenses like this, and his collapsed appearance was beyond everyone's expectations.

Yu Zhengming looked down on him faintly, while Cao Shiyou and Dong Wenping were more panicked and at a loss.

How did they know that Liu Zeming was afraid of seeing the fourth prince in the Yamen.

The fourth prince has a noble status and is rigorous in his actions. He is a well-known "Iron Faced Prince" in the capital.

If something happened in front of the fourth prince, the fourth prince would definitely investigate and find out the truth, and he would show no mercy.

Over the years, with the participation of the fourth prince in politics, many high-ranking officials have stumbled in front of the fourth prince.

Yu Zhengming actually acted cleverly and acted in front of the Fourth Prince, because he didn't know how powerful the Fourth Prince was.

He, Liu Zeming, did not dare.

Therefore, seeing the holy face of the fourth prince for the first time, Liu Zeming lost his defenses and only wanted to protect himself.

While talking, he winked at Cheng Yuguan.

It's easy to talk about this drug.

Cheng Yuguan is also a noble woman, and her reputation is the most important thing.

If people knew that she was drugged, it would be a hindrance to her reputation.

So Liu Zeming said that he only met Cheng Yuguan once, just to remind Cheng Yuguan not to tell about his going to the prison that night.

Cheng Yuguan was too lazy to take care of it, and he didn't even look at Liu Zeming's "convulsive" wink.

"Brother Liu, if you get up, what if you are an imperial envoy? Can you arrest people randomly without evidence?"

Dong Wenping poked his neck and said.

When Liu Zeming heard this, his heart was miserable, and he wished he could jump up and grab Dong Wenping's collar to wake him up.It's fine to be cruel to others, but you dare to speak harshly to His Highness the Fourth Highness.

Dong Wenping naturally didn't know the wailing in Liu Zeming's heart.

They were outside the city, and they didn't know that the imperial envoy was the fourth prince. At that time, they calculated it together and absolutely denied it.As long as there is no proof, they are all local squires, who would offend everyone in the county for Cheng Yuguan, an orphan girl?

As a result, as soon as he reached the lobby, Liu Zeming himself changed his face.

Dong Wenping still couldn't react, he scratched his neck, and squinted at the young imperial envoy, with a look of dissatisfaction.

Cao Shiyou was suffering behind the two of them.

He had regretted being with Liu Zeming for a long time. He wanted to admit his mistakes to Cheng Yuguan that night, but Liu Zeming managed to persuade the county magistrate to give up his idea.

Right now Liu Zeming is lying on the ground and confessing his cowardice, he is not as stupefied as Dong Wenping, so of course he is a little fussy.

Li Mian, who was in the seat, didn't care about the facial expressions of several people, he only looked at Dong Wenping who "provoked" him.

"Okay, I need evidence."

Li Mian said coldly, "Didn't you say that there was no evidence during the inspection just now? Come and detain Dong Wenping for [-] boards in public. I see if you are telling the truth."

Immediately, some soldiers came up and took the stunned Dong Wenping to the open space between the lobby and the gate of the government office, and beat him down one by one.

Then the howling sounded.

"Your Highness!"

Yu Zhengming still wanted to speak, but Li Mian looked over, "Why, His Highness rewarded him a few words, do you have something to say?"

Yu Zhengming held back and shook his head.

He was speechless.

If it is someone else, he can still talk about "benevolent government", "squire", "rules", "evidence" and so on.

But the person in front of him is an imperial envoy, even a prince.

Representing the emperor in person.

Your Majesty treats his subordinates with rewards and punishments without reason.

What's more, just now Dong Wenping did not know how to provoke him.

At this time, Yu Zhengming was so tired that he still had the eloquent appearance just now.

Sure enough, after the last few boards, Dong Wenping had already started begging for mercy.

"Your Highness!"

The soldiers dragged Dong Wenping to the court to return to his command.

Dong Wenping cried and howled on the ground but didn't dare to make a loud noise. In fact, he is also a person with eyes. Once he gets down, he knows who can be messed with and who can't.

"My prince asks you, who did it to frame the owner of Cheng's stone shop? Did you participate in it?"

Li Mian's voice came down high and high, Dong Wenping lay on the ground, struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"Your Highness, it's all about Cao Shiyou and Liu Zeming, and has nothing to do with the grassroots. Liu Zeming was hurt by Miss Cheng and coveted Miss Cheng's beauty, so he bribed Zhao Xunjian to express his anger. The young lady got away, so he made another move and invited the magistrate to come to discuss. The grassroots don't know how they discussed, but after the magistrate returned, he ordered Cheng Yuguan to be summoned, and then said that Cheng Yuguan had escaped from prison and was sealed. Cheng's shop!"

Dong Wenping spit out what he knew.

Just now His Highness "rewarded" him twenty big boards without even blinking an eyelid.

Dong Wenping knew that if he said no more, there was still a board waiting for him.

In order not to suffer from flesh and blood, Dong Wenping could only speak out.

Moreover, in Dong Wenping's perception, this matter was all about Liu Zeming and Cao Shiyou, and he had long thought that these two people were not pleasing to his eyes.

The two of them, relying on being the sons and daughters of officials, look down on people openly and secretly, do you think he doesn't know?
So why did he suffer for Cao and Liu?

"The grassroots are temporarily obsessed with ghosts, please punish them, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Liu Zeming stopped struggling.

He knew that in the face of absolute authority, no skill was needed. With the confessions of Zhao Xunjian and Dong Wenping, if he refused to admit it, what awaited him was nothing more than dozens of boards.

His father was the head of the Ministry of Punishment, so he naturally knew that this was not a trick of torture at all.There are many people who testify, and you have to be stubborn. It is normal to hit a few boards.

In a blink of an eye, Dong Wenping and Liu Zeming confessed, Cao Shiyou smiled wryly and lay on the ground, pleading guilty to the law.

When Yu Zhengming saw these two pig teammates, he was helpless and fell to his knees in the hall.

"Your Highness, I ask you to punish me for improper actions due to my own selfish desires."

At this moment, the people outside the door had nothing to say, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless.

Things change too fast for them to react.

After a while, a soldier brought a drug dealer into the lobby, and it was already the end.

"Put a group of people in custody and be punished by the official department of the Ministry of Punishment. The daily affairs of Tongcheng will be co-chaired by the county magistrate first."

Li Mian is in charge of the military, and the handling of local government affairs is not necessary. He only has the right to dispose, not to make decisions.

...

A somewhat absurd drama came to an end, and Tongcheng changed in the blink of an eye.

The county magistrate who should have been promoted was sent to prison, and the county magistrate who was originally excluded and idle took charge of Tongcheng County.

There are also Jiaoyu, Xuezheng, the son of a squire, and the land households in Tongcheng, and they changed a group in a blink of an eye.

Xi Yan followed behind her young master, trembling towards home.

"It's dangerous. Fortunately, Dong Wenping always doesn't take his son seriously. So in the lobby just now, he didn't mention his son. They also narrowly escaped death, right?"

While shivering, Xi Yan turned her head back, rejoicing at the same time.

He raised his head to look at his young master, but he saw that there was no luck or relief on his face, but his face was heavy.

"Young Master, the Imperial Envoy is here to suppress the bandits. He tried the case today, and he won't try it again after that. We got away safely, isn't that good? You look, why are you unhappy?"

After walking for a long time, and far away from the county government office, seeing no one on the street, Xiyan couldn't help but ask his son.

Wang Qin turned his head and looked at Xi Yan, "What's there to be happy about? I'm not even in the eyes of Dong Wenping and the others, let alone..."

"What's more?"

Xi Yan asked subconsciously.

Wang Qin glanced at Xi Yan with a complex expression, then turned and left.

Xi Yan scratched his head, "Who else? Mr. Cheng is not in Tongcheng, so he can't be the Fourth Prince, right?"

Thinking of this possibility, Xi Yan quickly patted his mouth, how could this be possible.Although he also respects his son, but that is the fourth prince, His Highness!Moreover, he is decisive, shrewd and capable, why would my young master want to compare with His Highness?
He must have lost his head.

Shaking his head to get this "rebellious" thought out of his mind, Xi Yan hurried to catch up with his son.

Although the young master looked calm, but when he was supporting the young master just now, the young master's hands were a little cold, he must have been frightened.When I go back, I must ask my wife to cook a bowl of soothing soup for the young master.

...

"Where's Cheng Lang? Where did he go?"

Li Mian did not stay in the government office, but went to rest in the shop with Cheng Yuguan.

When Cheng Yuguan returned to the shop, Xiao Wu and Liu Yun had already returned, cleaning up the shop and room that had been turned upside down by the yamen servants.

"Miss, the brazier I burned for you, please step over the brazier, I still have grapefruit water here."

Liuyun Ruyan came over like a swallow, and after chirping, she realized that there was another "noble person" next to her young lady.

"See Your Highness!"

After all, Xiao Wu had stayed in the capital for a few days, knew the identity of the person in front of him, and hurriedly saluted.

Liu Yun also made a plop, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Li Mian didn't have the coldness above the lobby at this time, just an ordinary cold face, but it was enough for others to stay away from him.

"Get up. Didn't you say there is grapefruit water? Bring it."

Li Mian spoke, his voice was cold with an undeniable sense of superiority.

Xiao Wu hurriedly got up to fetch the grapefruit leaf water, while Liu Yun took the grapefruit branch and shook it carefully a few times, for fear of spilling it on His Royal Highness beside the young lady.

Cheng Yuguan stepped over the brazier, looked at Liuyun and the two, "Go get busy, His Highness and I will sit in the backyard for a while."

When the two heard the words, as if they had received an amnesty, they crouched down, turned around and went to work.

"It's this shop that made you endure the humiliation of an assassin, and insist on leaving the capital?"

Li Mian looked around at the front of Cheng's stone shop, and then at Cheng Yuguan in front of him.

Obviously, he did not hide his knowledge of Cheng Yuguan's assassination outside the capital.

Cheng Yuguan just wanted to ask him how he knew that, on both sides of the Cheng family's stone shop, many shopkeepers came to congratulate Cheng Yuguan on his return from disaster.

After all, they are merchants, and they are able to come back unscathed after facing off against the Lord of a county.
"Miss Cheng wants to give us a circle of red see cakes. The two times the government officials came to Cheng's stone shop, we have spoken up for Miss Cheng!"

"No, my calves are so scared, I still have to insist on telling Miss Cheng a fair word."

Everyone was eager to ask for credit, and Cheng Yu knew their kindness in his concern, and he was even more sympathetic.

"It's easy to talk about. I'll ask my buddy to order wedding cakes at Ma's Cake Shop in a while. I'll come to the door in person tomorrow morning. Thank you all shopkeepers."

Cheng Yuguan pays homage to everyone, thank you for your kindness.

"As long as you know."

"Which family is this? A handsome man. Miss Cheng, let me tell you, if you have an accident this time, others will see you alone and bully you! You should hurry up and make a marriage, so that even if you have an accident, you will be safe." Your in-laws will stand out for you, and if others want to bully you, they have to weigh it up!"

When Cheng Yuguan heard this, he didn't look up, so he couldn't see Li Mian's eyes.

No matter how strong a person is, there is no such thing as a crowd that makes people fearful.

It is often said that when lions are still napping, hunters generally dare not take the initiative to hunt and kill wolves.

The shopkeepers were all for her own good, and Cheng Yu understood what he said with concern.

Since she came to Tongcheng to settle down, these shopkeepers saw that she was young, so they took care of her from time to time, treating her like a nephew in the next generation.

Going through fire and water is not what they should do. Cheng Yuguan is already grateful for speaking out and caring.

Therefore, in the face of everyone's concern, Cheng Yuguan just smiled and waved his hands, without any impatience.

After a while, Cheng Yuguan escaped and entered the backyard with Li Mian.

Li Mian was behind Cheng Yuguan just now, seeing her thanking everyone, without saying a word, but now in the backyard, she couldn't help teasing, "It's time to say goodbye."

Cheng Yuguan gave Li Mian a dark look, "Fourth brother, you are not being kind. I just came out of the cell and I'm still breathing, so can't you say something I like to hear?"

Seeing her like this, Li Mian couldn't help laughing, "You are very transparent on weekdays, why can't you think about this matter? The queen mother still let you?"

The two didn't talk about it any more, and turned to talk about the old days.In fact, both of them know that this is a very realistic thing.

Why was Cheng Yuguan neglected since he was a child and thrown in the ancestral Chengjia Village?Why was she fooled by her father, why would the dowry come back?Why was she still being chased after she left the city?Why does she have such a big shop in Tongcheng, and Liu Zeming and his sons dare to plan?How many people in Yuzhi County dare to attack her?
In this world, only when a man is entangled with his clan can he stand in the world, which is dreadful.

If there is no descendant, even if he is a member of the court, some people dare to bully him.

In this world, a woman obeys father, husband and son all her life.

With her father's love, she has the identity and confidence to stand in the world.Only with the love of her husband can she have the respect of her natal family and husband's family, as well as the admiration of the world.Only when she has a son can she complete her mission as a woman, and she will be able to rely on her for the rest of her life.

It seems cold to say this, but it is the thoughts and standards of the vast majority of people.Some people say that it doesn't matter, but they exclude you immediately, especially the most selective marriage, choosing a son-in-law, having both parents and loving parents is the prerequisite.

What about Cheng Yuguan?She had no parents to love her since she was a child, so she was thrown into Chengjia Village, and no one cared about her, even the clansmen dared to bully them.

Also because she was alone, no matter how much she flaunted her teeth and claws, Cheng Hou and Yang's would not take her seriously, and the old lady even taught her a lesson.

And this time the lawsuit, is it not that others were misled and knew that she was an orphan, so they acted recklessly?

It was precisely because they understood the root cause that the shopkeepers just now persuaded her to get engaged and have someone to rely on.

Li Mian also knew that this was the scar in Cheng Yu's concern, so he stopped talking and looked elsewhere.

"Your reclining chair looks quite comfortable."
