Chapter 51 Princess Lanling’s wrist

Xinxiang County.

An hour after Princess Lanling's honor guard entered the city.

A large notice with black characters on a red background was posted on the wall outside the county government office.

According to the notice, Princess Lanling found out that there was an unjust case of being tortured by the Xinxiang County government office. The princess was furious and took off the heads of the Xinxiang County magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar, and county captain on the spot, and demoted them to common people!
Once this notice was posted, it immediately caused waves throughout the county.

The people watching naturally cheered.

Officials of all sizes in Weizhou felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Moreover, the matter spread to various states and counties in Hebei Province at a tsunami-like speed...

……

Gongcheng County is located in the west of Weizhou.

According to Princess Lanling's plan to go north, she will not pass through Gongcheng County.

Therefore, the magistrate of Gongcheng County, after hearing what happened in Xinxiang County, was frightened for a while, but soon became cheerful again, and said to the county magistrate and the chief registrar: "Fortunately, Princess Lanling will not pass through our Gongcheng County, otherwise... …”

Before he could finish his words, a subordinate official came to report: "Princess Lanling has come to our Gongcheng County!"

"What?? Didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess pass by our Gongcheng County? Why are you here again?" The county magistrate was shocked.

"It is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess changed her mind temporarily..."

The county magistrate was stunned for a while, and with trembling hands he gave instructions on how to receive the princess. Of course, the mess in the yamen also needed to be cleaned up immediately...

Another hour later.

Notices with black characters on a red background were also posted on the wall outside the Gongcheng County government office.

The notice said that the princess found that the tax revenue of Gongcheng County increased year by year, far exceeding that of other counties at the same level. The princess was very happy and prepared to reward all officials in the county government.

But later, the subordinate officials under the princess found out that the reason for the gradual increase in taxes in Gongcheng County was due to the increasingly serious excessive taxation.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was furious and immediately sent all the magistrates, county magistrates, chief registrars, and county lieutenants of Gongcheng County to prison to await trial and conviction...

As soon as the notice came out, the people cheered.

But the officials in other prefectures and counties in Weizhou felt their scalps feel cold and felt like pills.

At the same time, the incident in Gongcheng County swept away like a tsunami to all states and counties in Hebei Province.

……

Ji County is the seat of the prefecture of Weizhou.

After the Weizhou governor rushed back to the city, he tried his best to cover up something.

But when Princess Lanling's honor guard entered the city, within half an hour, the matter that Weizhou Governor tried so hard to cover up was discovered——

Cover up the life lawsuit, intending to get away with it.

Princess Lanling was furious and immediately took off her hat as the governor of Weizhou and put her in jail pending trial.

A number of subordinate officials in the state government also suffered disaster. Those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who were dismissed were dismissed.

When the notice was posted, the entire city was in a state of excitement.

Of course, this matter also spread to various states and counties in Hebei Province at an extremely fast speed.

……

There are still two counties in Weizhou, Wei County and Liyang County. Princess Lanling worked tirelessly and did not let go of the last two counties.

Among them, there was also a pending human life lawsuit in Wei County, but the county magistrate never concealed it. Princess Lanling only demoted the county magistrate to civilian status and did not send him to prison.

The last Liyang County is the only remaining prefecture and county that has not found any problems.

Princess Lanling was very happy, and immediately appointed the county magistrate of Liyang County as the governor of Weizhou, and immediately took up the post!

……

Princess Lanling had just stepped into the border of Hebei Province, and in just one day, she had masturbated all over Weizhou.

Among them, two county magistrates were dismissed from office, one magistrate was jailed, and the governor was also imprisoned. The magistrate of Liyang County, who had no problems, took the top position as the governor of Weizhou in the blink of an eye.

Promotion or dismissal is all at Princess Lanling's discretion.

What happened in Weizhou spread to other states and counties in Hebei Province at an alarming speed.

At midnight that day, the news reached Yingzhou.

……

The county government of Leshou County, the back house.

The county government house is naturally quiet at night.

Because no one dared to disturb it, the people living there were the family members of a county official, and even the gentlemen of Liang Shang did not dare to offend easily.

In the main courtyard, in the bedroom, Tang Ju, the county magistrate of Leshou County, was sleeping soundly with Mrs. Chen, the county magistrate.

The city wall murder case had been backlogged in the Yamen for several days and remained unresolved. Tang Ju was really exhausted these days.

However, people are only mortals after all. Tang Ju, who had not had a good rest in the past few days, finally couldn't bear it tonight and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

bang bang bang!
bang bang bang!
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the tranquility in the middle of the night, like a bright meteor streaking across the night sky.

Tang Ju suddenly opened his eyes, and just as he was about to ask why he was disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night, he heard a voice coming from outside the courtyard door, shouting: "Mingfu, something bad is going on, something is going wrong!"

Is something wrong?

Tang Ju's heart immediately sank, and he lost all sleep in an instant.

Amid Mrs. Chen's grunts, she put on some clothes and went out.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, but Tang Ju had no intention of admiring the moon. He quickly walked to the courtyard door and opened it. Seeing that the person knocking on the door was the housekeeper of the mansion, he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Reporting to the Ming Palace, news just came from Weizhou that Princess Lanling has entered the territory of Weizhou today," the housekeeper said.

"Oh." Tang Ju was noncommittal. Princess Lanling would come sooner or later. This was expected.

"Within one day today, two county magistrates in Weizhou were dismissed from office, one magistrate was jailed, one governor was jailed, and another county magistrate was promoted to governor!" the steward added.

Tang Ju's pupils shrank suddenly. He had been in official circles for many years and was extremely sensitive to certain matters. Now after hearing the news, he felt a chill on his scalp.

The steward added: "The young master has rushed to the back hall of the Yamen and sent people to invite the county magistrate and the chief registrar. Mingfu should also hurry over. The young master knows more about what happened in Weizhou."

"it is good!"

Tang Ju was about to rush to the back hall of the county government office.

At this time, the lights in each room in the main courtyard were lit up one after another. The county magistrate, Mrs. Chen, walked out quickly holding a coat and shouted: "It's cold at night, please wear more clothes."

Mrs. Chen didn't ask any questions, she just put the coat on Tang Ju herself.

Tang Ju felt a little warmth. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and ordered: "Send someone to call Jing'er and ask her to go to the back hall of the Yamen."

When Tang Ju came to the back hall of the county government office, the county magistrate, chief registrar, county captain, etc. had already arrived first.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Tang Ju immediately looked at the county captain and asked: "If the young master knows anything, please come with us. This matter is of great importance and involves our lives and property, so we can't be careless."

The county captain looked grim and immediately told everyone what happened in Weizhou today.

After finishing speaking, there was silence in the back hall for a while.

Tang Ju said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that Her Royal Highness will not follow the established route. In other words, Her Royal Highness is very likely to change her route and come to our Leshou County!"

The county magistrate said: "The governor of Weizhou concealed the life of the lawsuit, and it was found out within half an hour. The governor of Weizhou and the officials of the prefectural government also went to jail for this, and some of them went to jail."

The chief clerk took over the conversation: "There is also a pending human life lawsuit in the Wei County government office, but he did not hide it, so he was just reduced from his position to the people..."

In the end, Tang Ju sighed heavily and concluded: "It seems that we can't give up any illusions. If we conceal it or not, if we are found out, we will all go to jail. If it is just unresolved, it is just a reduction of positions to serve the people."

"Please tell me, Mingfu, what should we do now?"

"check!"

Tang Ju spoke emphatically, "There's no need to hide anything. Let's launch a city-wide search. We must catch the murderer and end the case!"

"Everyone, it must not be easy for you to be in your current position. If you don't want to be robbed of hair by Her Royal Highness, you must catch the murderer as soon as possible, starting now!"

Tang Ju looked serious.

Although he is a direct descendant of the Tang family, now that the family has declined, he still became the county magistrate through his own efforts.

If you are demoted to a civilian position, you will not only lose your official position, but will also leave a stain on the court. It will be difficult to become an official again in the future.

Therefore, this case not only involves the official position of a county magistrate, but also involves his future official career.

It's really important!
