Chapter 91
"So, people in this village, what are you going to do with it?"

Shen Chang looked at the short and fat servant calmly. The short and fat servant was agitated and wanted to speak, but when he thought of his fate for telling the truth, he began to rack his brains to make up nonsense.

"County, the county magistrate has said that they will find another place to live..."

"Snapped--"

As soon as the whip was whipped, the chunky yamen servant let out a scream.

Shen Changan flicked his whip, and said with a downcast face, "Do you want to die now, or later?"

Lying is dead now, but telling the truth can live for a while. The two yamen servants are not tough-talking people who can keep secrets, and they are scrambling to speak.

Gu Qichi took one person to the next room, and interrogated the two separately. After a quarter of an hour, the two confessed to each other, almost the same.

These two yamen servants are the wives and brothers of the county magistrate, relying on the name of the county magistrate's brother-in-law to run rampant in the county government and the village.

I don't know if it's God's disapproval, or they ran into a dead mouse when they were blind. When the two of them came to Cuishan Village to collect rice seedling tax last time, they accidentally found gold from the stream next to the village.

The two were ecstatic, and collected a handful of the gold they saw, but they didn't collect it all. They walked up the river again and found a lot of golden lights shining in the upper reaches of the rushing river.

After returning to the county government office, they told the county magistrate about the incident. It was the county magistrate who asked them to investigate the situation when they came to the village this time.

The main purpose is to test whether there are any villagers who know the existence of the gold mine. If so, the village will not have to live.

If not, let the villagers dig the mine after finding the location of the gold mine. Of course, after digging the mine, they will die.

"brute!"

Shen Changan slapped the table, scaring the two yamen servants into a ball.

She turned her gaze to the two yamen servants, and asked sharply, "Aside from the two of you and the county magistrate, who else knows about this?"

"It's gone, it's gone," Gao Fat Yaman hurriedly replied, "The county magistrate told us brothers not to speak out about this matter."

The chunky yamen servant also said: "Our county magistrate is greedy for money, so we will definitely not tell others!"

"Elder, eldest princess," the short and fat yamen servant said with a straight face, "Look, our brothers know everything and talk endlessly, can you let us go?"

"That's right, that's right," Gao Fat Yaman also said, "We will cleanse our faces and start a new life in the future, please let the eldest princess let us go..."

"No, I can't let it go!"

The village chief walked over tremblingly. The tall fat yamen servant subconsciously showed a ferocious expression when he saw someone ruining his good deeds, but was whipped by the guard next to him.

The pain made him shiver, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain.

The chunky yamen servant was much smarter, and kept staring at the village head with menacing but secretive eyes.

The village head bit the bullet and said: "Princess, you can't let them go, they have committed all kinds of crimes, and now they have confessed due to force, if they go back, I'm afraid they will let the tiger go back to the mountain!"

Shen Changan comforted: "Don't worry, the village chief, I won't let them go."

Hearing this, the tall fat yamen servant panicked and said, "Eldest princess, you agreed to let us go!"

"Snapped--"

Another whip was whipped on him, and the guard warned: "I made you talk?!"

Shen Chang'an nodded, "Once a word is said, it is hard to follow, I am not a person who breaks promise."

Hearing what she said, before the two yamen servants could be happy, Shen Changan added: "Come here, cut their tendons and tendons and throw them into the mountains."

The village chief let go of his worries, and said excitedly, "There are wolves in the mountains behind our village, a pack of them!"

The two yamen servants were terrified, but the guards were quick-eyed, and each of them stuffed a rag, so they couldn't make a sound.

Shen Chang'an asked Mo Tan to take people to investigate by the river, and she said a few words to the village head, and then the village head went out with a serious expression as if he had been entrusted with an important event.

Cuishan Village is under the jurisdiction of Tai County, and the magistrate of Tai County couldn't help muttering when he saw that the two brothers and sisters had not returned.

Could it be that they took the gold and ran away?
Or was it discovered by the villagers and detained?

The county magistrate of Tai County had no courage, no strategy, and no IQ. He belonged to the county magistrate of Sanwu.

It didn't matter if he went there, but there was no news. The county magistrate thought something happened, and planned to go and see for himself. He had just finished counting the servants of the county government.

The county magistrate looked righteous and asked people to read the crimes of the magistrate of Tai County. Seeing that someone came to punish the county magistrate, the people of Tai County knelt down and begged the magistrate to make decisions for them.

The common people call the sheriff the "Master Qingtian", and of course the sheriff will not let them down. The good land that was taken will be returned, the people who were wronged will be released, and the women who have been robbed will also be compensated...

The county guard was busy for several days before he took care of the important matters.

Good guy, I don't know if I don't come, I'm startled when I come here, as a county guard, he is greedy for money at most, and the county magistrate of Tai County actually has more than a dozen lives in his hands!
That's not counting the lives he indirectly caused, proper earth emperor!
"Your Highness, look..."

The county guard handed the ledger to Xiao Dezi, and Xiao Dezi presented the ledger to Shen Chang'an. It was full of old bad debts. Due to the long time and unknown records, their original owners could not be found.

Shen Changan flipped through it, closed the ledger, and said to the sheriff with a half-smile, "What do you think the sheriff should do?"

The sheriff wiped his forehead, and respectfully said to Shen Chang'an: "Your Highness, in my humble opinion, why don't you use this part of the property for the construction of Tai County and the villages under its jurisdiction?"

"Then follow what the adults say."

"I like Cuishan Village, but I have to leave for Yangcheng tomorrow, so I can't stay long. Before the new county magistrate takes office, please pay attention to Cuishan Village, but don't disturb the lives of the villagers."

The preferences of the superiors can easily affect the people below. Shen Changan simply put his love for Cuishan Village in front of the county guard, lest the county guard be smart enough to monitor Cuishan village.

The sheriff wondered, the princess wanted him to pay attention to Cuishan Village, but don't bother?

"Yes, the lower official understands that the lower official has a lot of official duties. Before the new county magistrate takes office, he will let the old people in the yamen go to the villages on weekdays, so as to avoid the difficulties that the people have to solve."

Seeing Shen Changan's smile, the sheriff heaved a sigh of relief, he guessed right.

Shen Changan asked him other questions, such as whether the potato was not allowed to be planted by the common people, was it a private order issued by the old county magistrate of Tai County, or an order issued by the people above.

The county guard was obviously in a dilemma. He thought about it before and after, and said in a low voice: "I dare not lie to Your Highness. Only the county magistrate of Tai County has a monopoly on the planting method and seeds of divine food. In other places, it can be planted, but it's just..."
