Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 135 Punishing Traitors and Eliminating Evil
If she had known that Princess Wei's status was so useful, she should have opened the back door generously, and saved herself from being so disgusting.

"My concubine's words are serious. I was just talking in anger. If I had known that you were a princess, I would not have dared to disrespect you even if I lent me ten courage."

"That sounds nice. This concubine asks you, should Wu Xiulian's case be investigated or not?"

"Check it out, definitely check it out. In fact, I also noticed that something was wrong. It's just that the princess is wise and martial, and realized this earlier than Ichigo."

Xu Ruqing felt even colder when he heard this, this Maud really knows how to play with the wind. "Oh? You mean that you also think that Wu Xiulian died of injustice, so why did you decide that Wu Xiulian died of an accident?"

"This..." Maude's eyeballs rolled and rolled, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

"Xuan Ye, according to the laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, does this concubine have the right to remove officials who are lower than her?"

Xuan Ye thought about it seriously, and then replied: "As long as the official made a mistake first, and you have conclusive evidence to prove the official's crime, princess, it is naturally acceptable."

One corner of Xu Ruqing's mouth curled up: "That's very good."

When Xu Ruqing said that he would remove his official position, Mo De's eyes widened, beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down his chin, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Ruqing for mercy. "No, don't! Princess forgive me, I know my mistake, I don't dare to do it anymore, please don't dismiss me from office, as long as the princess forgives me, you can let me do anything in the future!"

"Your life is worthless, and black and white are not distinguished. Not only does it insult your parents' reputation as an official, but it also violates the original intention of the emperor to appoint you an official! How can you let my concubine trust you if you are so lewd and immoral?"

Maude was too frightened to vent his anger, so he had to let Xu Ruqing preach.

"I think you should stop being the county magistrate. If you continue to be the magistrate, the evil trend of corruption will only become more prevalent in the officialdom!"

"No, don't, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong..."

"As for you."

Xu Ruqing's eyes suddenly shifted to Mr. Han who had been frightened for a long time and couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Mr. Han was startled. "Aiding the tyrant to abuse others and colluding with Mo De, it's really a waste of reading the sage's book!"

Master Han also panicked, he walked forward on his knees, and in order to protect himself, he put all the responsibility on Maud. "Wang Concubine and Empress Mingjian, all of this is what that bastard Mo De instructed me to do. It has nothing to do with the villain. Please spare the life of the villain. The villain will never dare to do it again."

As soon as Master Han opened his mouth, he left himself completely, and Maude, who was kneeling behind him, had disbelief written all over his face.

He pointed at Master Han, his fingers trembling: "Han Quan, I think I treat you kindly, how can you say such unconscionable words?"

"Conscience? Are you worthy of talking to me about conscience? You clearly said that Mr. Chen has my share of the money, but you actually contradicted your promise and filled your own pockets. Now you come to talk about conscience with me?!"

Xu Ruqing figured it out, it turned out that it was dog eat dog caused by uneven distribution of spoils!
She ignored Mr. Han's words, but announced: "My concubine ordered that Maud be dismissed from the post of county magistrate from now on, and downgraded to grassland. The accomplice Han Quan will abolish his status as a scholar, and he will not be allowed to take the exam for life."

"it is good!!!"

"Good job, these two people should have stepped down long ago!"

"Xu Niangzi is majestic!"

"Clap clap clap..."

The people were naturally happy to hear that Mod was demoted, and they all applauded enthusiastically for Xu Ruqing.

Xu Ruqing was not complacent about it, but said to all the policemen in the hall: "Put the criminal Mo De and his party member Han Quan into prison, and before the new county magistrate arrives, I will temporarily interrogate Wu Xiulian." case, and after the truth is found out, the two will be punished according to law."

All the arresters looked at me and I looked at you, and they all read surprise in each other's eyes. None of them thought that the situation would turn around so quickly.

Mo De, who was talking about controlling Xu Ruqing's mouth one second, was facing prison in the next second, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice that they hadn't shot Xu Ruqing just now, otherwise they might be dragged into the water too.

"Yes."

"I know I was wrong, I beg the concubine to give me another chance, give me another chance..."

Han Quan was like a deflated ball, he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, he no longer resisted, and just let others drag it on.

Maud's begging voice got farther and farther away, Xu Ruqing looked away, her expression remained calm, as if nothing could surprise her.

Xu Ruqing stood there contemplating for a long time, her brain was rapidly sorting out all the clues of the case, until Wu Hongmei's voice sounded, which brought her back to her thoughts.

"Mistress Xu, oh no, it should be called the Empress Wangfei." Wu Hongmei knelt down to Xu Ruqing with a "plop" and said, "I beg the empress Wangfei to be the master of the women and seek justice for the daughter of the women."

Wu Hongmei was shocked when she learned that Xu Ruqing was Princess Wei, and she was more than happy because it meant that her daughter's affairs would be settled.

Xu Ruqing quickly helped Wu Hongmei who was kneeling, "Aunt Wu, please hurry up. Since I decided to take care of this matter from the beginning, I will definitely take care of it to the end. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate and find out."

"Thank you, princess."

Xu Ruqing thought about it, and considering the suddenness of the incident and the lack of physical evidence, Chen Shixi had the support of the entire Chen family behind him. If he couldn't produce actual evidence, the Chen family might not hand it over easily.

Xu Ruqing let out a breath, and she settled down: "With regard to Wu Xiulian's case, there are still many doubts that have not been verified. After I go down and sort out the whole case, I will choose a date for the trial."

"Retire!"

After announcing his withdrawal, the policemen standing on both sides beat the ground with their military sticks at high speed, making a deafening sound.

"mighty……"

Except for a few villagers from Dajing Village who were still standing there, the others dispersed when they saw that there was no excitement to watch.

"Zhiqu, take Aunt Wu down to rest." Wu Hongmei's eyes were red, swollen and bloodshot, obviously from crying too much, she needs to rest now.

"But the princess..."

Xu Ruqing knew what she was worried about, and shook her head with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I will be safe with Xuan Ye, you can take Aunt Wu back with peace of mind, and we will meet at the inn during Shen Shi."

Zhiqu had no choice but to agree: "Okay then, Wangfei should be more careful on the way."

"it is good."

Xuan Ye's voice sounded from behind: "What's the princess' plan going forward?"

Xu Ruqing's gaze was firm: "Go to Xiaohe first." That was the first scene where the murder case was discovered, and she felt it was necessary to go there again.

"Yes." Xuan Ye nodded and stepped back to prepare for the carriage.
