Chapter 70
When the county magistrate learned that a guard had arrived in the capital, he immediately ordered the place where he was staying and went to visit the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard met with the county magistrate and invited him to pick up the princess together the next day.

When the county magistrate heard that the guards were going to pick up the princess, he was very frightened.After returning to the county office, he was immediately asked to go to Chenjia Village to notify.

When the village chief saw the person sent by the county magistrate, he learned that the guards would come to the village to pick him up the next day. His face turned pale with fright, and he said to the person who sent the letter: "There are no more people, so we can't pick him up."

"What? How did this happen? When did it happen?" The person who sent the letter was also taken aback. He thought it was a good job, but he didn't expect it to be a terrible job.

"A month ago, one night, the yard where they lived caught fire, and everyone except the owner of the house was burned to death."

"What about the owner of the house? Where is he now?"

"Missed the next day."

"What?" The messenger's eyes went dark, and he almost fell to the ground.After he recovered, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and rushed back to the county government office to report to the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate saw the messenger, he immediately asked, "Has the letter arrived?"

"My lord, the letter has arrived, but the village head of Chen Family Village said that there are no more people for the guards to pick up."

"What, it's gone, how could it be gone?"

"I don't know either. Village Chief Chen said that one night a month ago, a fire broke out in the yard where they lived. When the fire was extinguished, the people in the house were already burned to death."

"It's over, it's over!" The county magistrate turned pale and sat down on the chair.The princess had an accident under his command, and his black gauze hat was about to be worn to the end.

After the master heard what the messenger said, his expression changed, and he asked, "My lord, what should we do?"

"What should I do? What else can I do besides pleading guilty?" After the county magistrate finished speaking, he stood up and went to the resting place of the guards.

"Master County Magistrate, what's the matter?" The captain of the guard looked at the returning county magistrate with a puzzled face.

"My lord, it is a crime to be humble." The county magistrate knelt down in front of the captain of the guard as he spoke.The captain of the guard was taken aback, and he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Lord county magistrate, what are you doing?"

"It's a crime to be humble, princess, something happened to the princess."

"What, what's going on?" The captain of the guard immediately changed his face when he heard this.They are here to pick up the princess. If they can't pick up the princess, they will lose their heads.

"Returning to my lord, according to the village head of Chenjia Village, the princess and lord Shancha were burned to death a month ago."

"How is it possible?" The captain of the guard couldn't believe it.They had received the order a month ago and set out immediately.

Could it be that something happened to the princess as soon as they set off?
"I don't dare to talk nonsense in a lowly position. The village chief of Chenjia Village really said so. The burned house is still there."

"Take me to see." The captain of the guard still couldn't believe it, and decided to go to the scene to see for himself.

"Yes!" The county magistrate called the yamen servant, and headed for Chenjia Village with the captain of the guard and some guards.

When the village chief saw the person coming, he was terrified and knelt down to plead guilty.

The captain of the guard gave the village head a cold look, and said two words: "Lead the way!"

The village chief stood up silently and walked ahead to lead the way.It never occurred to him that there was a princess living in the village.

If he knew earlier, what he said would make people protect each other well.

It's all right now, the princess is gone, let alone the county magistrate, the whole village is going to be finished.
