Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth county dignitaries
That night, the patriarch and other elderly people, as well as Bai Liushu and Bai Sanshu, who were close friends, all drank too much and slept at Bai's house.
The women left together with other people in the village, thus avoiding safety.
Bai Sanshu drank until midnight and was already drunk. Uncle Fu arranged for someone to carry him back to his room. Bai Liu waited on him all night and couldn't ask any more questions.
On the second day, when it was three o'clock in the morning, only the drunk people got up. Naturally, everyone could only drink some gruel, and they couldn't eat big fish or meat.
After sending the person away, Mrs. Bai Liu asked about her worries.
"It's okay. I'll be more careful when I go out in the future. After what happened this time, no one will attack us again." Bai Sanshu reassured: "If you don't believe me, you should also believe Shangguan. He is from the Han Palace."
Prince, if it weren’t for his people secretly helping me, how could I have come out so quickly.”
Bai Sanshu only thought it was Shangguan Yu's help and had no idea that Bai Ling had cultivated a secret force.
After all, he was born into a farmer's family. In Bai Sanshu's view, Bai Ling's abilities were already great enough, but they were limited to what he knew.
"That's good." Mrs. Bai Liu breathed a sigh of relief and warned: "In the future, take more people with you when you go out. If it is not necessary, don't go out far. It's just me and the children at home. You always feel uneasy when you are not at home."
"Okay, I will stay with you at home more from now on." Bai Sanshu agreed without hesitation, but in his heart, he thought that he should buy a few more people to come back and go out to check the business for him in the future.
Of course, even though I have the servant's contract of sale in my hand, I can't rest assured, lest I collude with the shopkeepers in various places. I still have to do random checks occasionally.
Bai Ling once unconsciously instilled some ideas into his family, so Bai Sanshu's thinking was much more advanced than that of an ordinary farmer in many aspects.
Because the clan elder and others drank too much and were slightly unwell, the banquet for the villagers was postponed for a few days.
Although Bai Ling knew that Bai Sanshu was safe and sound, she was eager to return home, so instead of rushing as hard as she could, she still rode on horseback.
After struggling for a few days, Ling Qing was quite satisfied with the speed of her current journey. She was able to sleep contentedly for one night before reaching the place where she was staying. She wished she could reach her destination as soon as she woke up and save her body from suffering.
When Bai Ling arrived at Baifu County, Bai Sanshu had been home for a few days.
"I didn't know that the princess is here, but I missed the reception from afar, so please forgive me." The county magistrate dressed in official clothes and saluted Bai Ling.
Just as he was handling matters at the Yamen, the maid next to his wife went to the front to invite him back to the back house. The county magistrate was surprised.
After all, Madam has never been the kind of woman to make trouble without reason, so she shouldn't disturb him in his work.
"You don't need to be polite, sir. I came here today to ask you to open a back door." Bai Ling said bluntly.
"I wonder what the princess means?" the magistrate asked.
"I heard that those people who wanted to frame my father, even at the cost of human lives, have yet to reveal the masterminds behind the scenes?" Bai Ling asked in a gentle tone.
The county magistrate felt a chill in his back and didn't believe that Bai Ling was coming. He just asked him a question gently.
"I am having trouble doing my job, please forgive me." The county magistrate said and bowed deeply.
If an ordinary person is wrongly accused and imprisoned, the county magistrate will feel guilty but not afraid.
Bai Ling was not only a princess, but also the future Crown Princess of the Han Dynasty. She was not something a small county magistrate would dare to offend.
You know, the Northern Territory is a fiefdom of the Han Palace, and Bai Ling is equivalent to the quasi-Crown Princess of the Northern Territory!
"I heard that in prison, there are often people who commit suicide out of fear of crime. I wonder if you are willing to sell me the favor of the princess?" Bai Ling put down the tea cup and looked at the county magistrate with cold eyes.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ling came here because of this. The county magistrate, who was ready to plead guilty, did not answer immediately.
In terms of human relations, those who harm others should pay for their lives. As Bai Sanshu is the victim, Bai Ling's request is not excessive.
But as an official, the county magistrate did not want to do this, which was contrary to his official duties.
"Your Excellency, I may have misunderstood. I did not want to kill the trafficker." I wanted him to live worse than death! Bai Ling added in his mind and continued: "Your Excellency, the reason why the interrogation failed is because the method is too mild. And I
The princess is good at medicine, so she is also good at poisoning, so she has a way to get that person to explain something."
"This..." The county magistrate hesitated.
"Sir, didn't you say that those traffickers were on a hunger strike in prison? It's normal for a lot of people to die, right?" The county magistrate's wife was anxious as she listened. My master just wasn't smart enough, otherwise he would still be here after more than ten years.
Be a county magistrate in various places?
The county magistrate looked up and saw his beloved wife, who had always been steady. She kept winking at him and nodded reluctantly: "It is true that as the lady said, one prisoner has only one breath left. The lower official is planning to report it to the superior.
Woolen cloth."
Bai Ling smiled, looked at the county magistrate's wife, and said to the magistrate: "My lord, it is a blessing to have a good wife. I am anxious to go home to see my parents, so I won't bother you any more."
"
"I will send you off to the princess." She winked at the county magistrate, and the county magistrate's wife stood up to see her off.
"Thank you, madam." Bai Ling nodded politely. When he walked out of the living room, he supported the wrist of the county magistrate's wife and said in a low voice: "Madam is cold. I will give you this medicinal jade bracelet within one year."
You will have a good pregnancy!"
The county magistrate's wife was so excited that she almost dropped the bracelet to the ground. She couldn't say any words of rejection and shed tears of excitement.
Bai Ling took the reunited Haitang and left, and someone would go and take the prisoner away.
In fact, Bai Ling could have brought the traffickers into the space on her own instead of coming to the county magistrate, but she didn't want to cause trouble.
After the county magistrate's wife turned back, the county magistrate immediately asked: "Why did the madam agree to her husband's promise?"
"The master is confused and doesn't want to think about whose territory this Baifu County belongs to. If the princess really wants to commit a personal crime, it will not be easy. When the prisoner is lost, how can the master report it to the superiors? It will be even more difficult for the county!"
Madam Ling said warmly.
"It's because of my husband that something went wrong." The county magistrate is not pedantic, but he is less tactful than ordinary officials. "Did Madam cry?"
"It's okay, the wind and sand have blinded my eyes." The county magistrate's wife said with a smile.
Touching the table on her wrist, the county magistrate's wife did not plan to tell the magistrate the good news now, but planned to surprise the magistrate in the future. It would not be too late to thank Bai Ling then.
Bai Ling didn't know what the county magistrate and his wife were talking about.
After returning to the house, Bai Ling washed and rested, and left the matter of picking up the criminal to Haitang himself.
"Master, the man has been put in the dungeon and given medicine. However, my subordinates don't think that man is really hard-core. He may really be an uninformed little guy." Haitang reported after finishing the task.
"No matter how small a guy is, he can still be of some use. Don't be merciful, just give him a good time after getting the clues." Bai Ling rubbed the center of his eyebrows. After running around for many days, his body was not very tired due to the space, but his heart was
But he was very tired, "What can we find out these days?"
Haitang shook his head and apologized: "My subordinates are incompetent and have not found any useful clues. On the contrary, the Crown Prince's people are also investigating the matter."
"Yes, I understand. You go down and have a rest. After the man explains, take the body back to the county government office in a more secretive manner," Bai Ling ordered.
"Master, won't you let me follow you back?" Haitang asked.
"No, there are secret guards here, so you don't have to worry about my safety." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he added: "Ling Qing has been through a lot of trouble, let him rest here for a while, and you can take more care of him. He is also good at poison.
He is very knowledgeable and there is no need to be polite if you need to use him."
