stern wife

Chapter 389 Be good, don't make trouble
Pei Xiaoran frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Stop me all!"

She didn't yell loudly, but her words were full of air, and they were clearly heard by everyone present.

Everyone was taken aback, and stopped unconsciously.

Pei Xiaoran walked out of the protection circle slowly, and walked straight towards the magistrate.

She was a little short, but she exuded a strong aura, which made the servants who were going to catch her unable to move for a moment.

Pei Xiaoran walked in front of Li Chong, and immediately felt the malicious gazes from the people who followed Li Chong.

That gaze was full of condemnation and contempt, as if looking at a sinner who deserved death.

Pei Xiaoran didn't care, and only asked in a crisp voice:

"I don't know what the magistrate means by this? What mistake did Xiaoran make that made the magistrate so violent?"

Li Chong sneered and looked down at her condescendingly.

After several days of rushing, Pei Xiaoran's hair was a little messy, and his whole body was dusty, but his black eyes were surprisingly bright.

At this time, those black eyes were looking at him without fear, open and clear, clear and innocent.

It is also like the sharpest sword in the world, which can easily pierce the flesh and directly point at the heart.

Li Chong felt a little guilty for no reason, but he thought it was ridiculous when he thought about it. He wasn't the one who lost the food and grass. What guilt did he have?
So he said confidently:
"Didn't you make a big mistake by losing your food and grass? Isn't it only right and proper for me to arrest you for the admiral so that you won't run away again?"

Pei Xiaoran asked back:

"My lord, can you find out everything? Are you sure that all the food and grass were lost because of me? What about witnesses? What about physical evidence? As long as your lord can show it, and it is convincing enough, I will let you kill me." There will be absolutely no complaints when the adults deal with it."

Of course, Li Chong didn't have any witnesses or physical evidence, so he was shocked when he heard the words.

The staff behind him immediately helped out and said:
"The Holy Majesty asked you to be fully responsible for the escort of the grain and grass. Dare you say that it has nothing to do with you when the grain is missing?!"

Pei Xiaoran glanced at him, and said lightly:
"If there is an inside thief, then of course it has nothing to do with me."

"what?"

The staff was taken aback for a moment, obviously not thinking of this.

Li Chong finally figured out how to fight back, raised his finger to Pei Xiaoran, and said relentlessly:
"No matter what is the reason for the loss of food and grass, the people have no food to eat, and died of freezing and starvation. You are the chief culprit that caused them to lose their lives!"

Pei Xiaoran glanced at his bulging belly wrapped in official clothes like a woman pregnant in October, sneered, and said:
"My lord, if the people really have no food to eat, as long as your lord is willing to open your private treasury and return the tax money of the people who lied about the disaster in the past few years and corrupted the people after the imperial court tax exemption, and then return to the people. , I believe the common people can last for a long time.”

Hearing this, Li Chong and the staff behind him all changed their expressions.

It is cold in the north, and there are frequent snow disasters, but this snow disaster does not happen every year.

However, the officials working in the north will report the disaster situation every year and ask the court to allocate tax-free food for the people here.

This should have been a great thing for the people.

However, in order to enrich their own pockets, some officials will not spread the news of the Holy Majesty's tax exemption, but will keep it secret, and then continue to collect tax money from the people and stuff it all into their own pockets.

It has become the unanimous 'tacit understanding' of the officials in the north to deceive the superior and the inferior in this way.

Of course Li Chong is no exception, after all, who would have trouble with Yinzi?
They protect each other, are closely united, and have a very strict tone.

Therefore, after so many years, it has not been known to outsiders.

The little girl in front of her face should be less than ten years old, and she seems to be able to squeeze out water with a childish pinch.

However, why would she know such secrets? !
Of course Pei Xiaoran knew that because paper could not contain fire, in the last life, after Zhu Lianxi ascended the throne, the incident happened in the north, and it involved a lot of people. Countless officials were ransacked and beheaded, blood flowed like a river, shaking the government and the public.

Zhu Lianxi originally wanted to clean the court and replace them all with his own people. How could he let this opportunity go for nothing?

Therefore, the forces in the north were almost uprooted by him, and he took the opportunity to deter and pull down many other officials.

Since then, his throne has become much more stable.

How could Pei Xiaoran forget such an important event?
The fear in Li Chong's eyes flashed past, and then, full of killing intent burst out.

None of the outsiders who knew about this matter could stay.

The staff members behind him showed fierce eyes. Seeing that Pei Xiaoran was a girl, she was thin and short, and the staff who usually dared not even kill a chicken had inexplicably developed a kind of feeling that they could give this girl to him. With dead self-confidence, everyone is ready to move, gearing up, just waiting for the order from the prefect, and they will end up with this unlucky child who knows too much.

Pei Xiaoran naturally knew the consequences of saying such things, so she didn't announce it loudly. Except for Li Chong and a few of his staff, the rest could not hear what she was saying.

Seeing that Li Chong really had murderous intentions towards her, she said calmly:

"But don't worry, my lord, I won't talk about this matter. After all, there is no evidence and I'm just a child. Even if I tell someone, the other party will probably think I'm talking nonsense, right? "

Li Chong thought about it, and it was true, but he still asked in a deep voice worried:

"How did you know?"

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:

"I'm sorry I can't tell you this."

Of course Pei Xiaoran would not tell Li Chong, it's better to make him suspect that there is an inner ghost, and then have a fight in the nest.

She continued:

"I just want my lord to calm down and stop making trouble for no reason. Besides, I'm here to deliver food, not to be humiliated. Please don't embarrass me any more. If your lord still refuses to give up... then , others make me feel bad, so I naturally have ways to make others feel bad."

Li Chong's thoughts turned sharply, and when he came back to his senses, his face was already full of smiles, and he squeezed out a pair of little mung bean eyes.

He raised a fat palm, patted Pei Xiaoran's small shoulder affectionately, and said:

"Misunderstandings, misunderstandings, all misunderstandings."

He raised his head, his expression changed, and he ordered to the servants who were still bringing the soldiers with Pei Xiaoran:
"Retire! Don't be rude to Miss Pei's people!"

The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, completely unaware of what had happened.

Didn't they agree to bring the criminal girl who lost food and grass to justice?

Why, why did the attitude of the adults change immediately after the girl said a few words to them?
　Thank you for subscribing and voting, bow~
　　Readers with a starting point said that the pace is too slow. I wanted to reply, but I have too little experience to reply at the starting point, so I will reply here~
　　The slow pace is for sure, I have to admit this mistake, because I am afraid that if the foundation is not well laid, the heroine will appear very abrupt when her domineering side leaks in the future.

　　But the process of growing up cannot be accomplished overnight, so the rhythm becomes slower, and I will work hard to improve on this point~
　　As for the plot of treason|country, it is not a cause, but a result, so when this plot is about to appear, it has already reached the middle and late stages of the article, so I am disappointed for those who want to see this plot earlier, sorry~
　　Thank you again for your support and opinions, bow~
