Prince Regent's Concubine

Chapter 92

Ling Qingshi didn't know why he said all these things in a moment of sadness. It may be that there are so many forces entrenched in this small Kaiyang County, all of them exploiting the people for their own benefit and calculating others, so that he can't happy.

Xiao Chuyi didn't persuade anyone for a while, and he knew better that what his princess said was right. If it was true what his princess said, everyone would do their best for the people and the world, so why not worry about such a prosperous age.There are so many people with lofty ideals in the world.

After a while, when Ling Qingshi came back to his senses, Xiao Chuyi patted him on the back and said to him, "When you get back to the capital, you can talk to me about those things in detail, and I can go to the emperor, if he doesn't believe me Or if he doesn't want to, let him take care of this country." After all, he has been in charge for long enough, and he doesn't really want to continue to be the regent.

Ling Qingshi nodded, "Okay, then let's settle the matter here as soon as possible."

After they finished speaking, Duobao came in with a bunch of rosters outside, and said to Xiao Chuyi, "My lord, my concubine, these are the rosters of missing men in Kaiyang County. There are 210 people on the roster, all of whom are people in the city." The people in the countryside may not have heard the news, so they cannot be counted for the time being.”

The booklet was placed on the table, and Ling Qingshi flipped through it as if he picked it up casually, and asked Duobao, "Have all the people in the city come to register?"

Duobao said: "The guards went to the yamen to check the number of people distributing silver taels, and most of them have come. Maybe some people are afraid and dare not come."

Ling Qingshi nodded, "I don't need to worry about the county seat for the time being, you go find a few scholars who can write, each with two guards to go to the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Kaiyang County to register the number of missing people."

After Ling Qing finished speaking, he asked Xiao Chuyi, "My lord, do these guards have any badges to prove their identities after they leave the village?"

Xiao Chuyi said: "The people in the country don't know the badges even after seeing them. It's more useful to ask the county magistrate to write a notice and then stamp it. If they don't believe it, let them go to the city to inquire."

Ling Qingshi nodded, "That's okay," he said to Duobao, "Go, if you find someone, go to the county government to find me and the prince."

As soon as Duobao left, Ling Qingshi pushed the wheelchair and took Xiao Chuyi to ask Lin Xun to go to the county government office together.

There is a lot of evidence in hand, and the fact that the regent came to Kaiyang County is well known in the city, and those who want to take advantage of this last moment to reduce the charges, either wipe the traces, or want to use the hostages in their hands as a threat Yes, very busy right now.

The county government was also busy. When they arrived in Lingqing, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant and the subordinate master Bo all surrounded the county magistrate and asked him to hand over the account book.They listened to Ling Qingshi for a while, and found that he had already risen to the point of threatening him with the lives of the county magistrate's family members.

Thinking about the age of County Magistrate Xu, Ling Qingshi was very worried that these people would be so reckless that they would piss him off, so he pushed Xiao Chuyi into the door, "My lords are very capable."

As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Xiao Chuyi's identity had been exposed. Seeing them coming in now, they all knew each other, especially the county lieutenant, who knelt down not long ago.

Now when I saw people, I didn’t dare not to kneel, Xiao Chuyi didn’t let them get up even after kneeling, only Ling Qingshi helped County Magistrate Xu up, and told the others, “The ledger has been sent to the capital, all adults What is the boss who is persecuting you like this trying to do? Or do you really think that Kaiyang County is your world, and everything is up to you?"

No one dared to answer, especially after hearing that the ledger was sent to the capital, they were all in a panic, knowing that they were finished.

Ling Qingshi was not afraid of their silence, and continued: "It seems that you still haven't recovered your brains. You can use Xu County Magistrate's family as a threat, so you never think about your own family?"

After saying this, someone finally reacted and jumped up on the spot, "What did you do?"

The others also looked at Ling Qingshi in horror and worry.

Ling Qingshi chuckled, "I thought you all had no father or mother because you just jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and you don't take other people's families seriously."

"I haven't done anything yet, but you have acted like this, and it will be passed down from generation to generation as a family motto. Teach your children and grandchildren well, and let them remember what you sons and fathers have done for your own children."

Ling Qingshi suppressed the smile on his face, "Don't worry, in the end you will all be sentenced to copy and beheaded. This princess will try her best not to let them die. This princess will let them live in Kaiyang County for generations. Every citizen in this county knows what their father did to make your descendants be spurned by others forever!"

A single word was more ruthless than killing a human being. No matter standing or kneeling, everyone's faces were pale, and they were frightened by Ling Qingshi's words.

Thoughts even came up in my mind, if so, it would be better to copy and chop all over the house.

"Are you all satisfied with my concubine's proposal?" Ling Qingshi asked knowingly.

Someone immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "My lord and concubine, please forgive me. The villain knows his mistakes. The villain knows his mistakes. The villain will never dare to have any dissenting intentions. The villain is willing to bear all the responsibilities. I only ask the lord and princess to spare the family of the villain."

One took the lead, and the others immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. Before today, they did not pay attention to the male princess Ling Qingshi. Even the county lieutenant, who had just returned from the Lin Mansion, was afraid of the regent. Instead of Ling Qingshi.

But the words just now let them know that this princess is not a good one.

They had to admit the fact that if they had no skills, how could a bastard who was not valued be able to sit firmly in the position of regent princess, and how could someone who could be favored by the regent king be so bad.

Ling Qingshi took the time to look at the few people who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and interrupted them, "Don't you guys like kidnapping family members as a threat the most? The Lin family is like this, and so is the Xu county magistrate's family. How come you haven't kidnapped them yet?" Can't take it anymore?"

Ling Qingshi sneered, "I don't know if I know I'm wrong, but if there is one missing person in the Lin family, or if there is any mistake in the Xu county magistrate's family, what my princess just said just now is for you guys." What happens to your family members is up to you to decide."

No one was stupid at this time, so he quickly assured Ling Qingshi that they would immediately go to the Lin family and bring them back without missing a single one, and then stumbled out of the county government office.

After the people left, County Magistrate Xu asked, "Princess let them go now, aren't you afraid that they will go back and transfer the family?"

Ling Qingshi: "Then they must be able to leave the city."

When Ling Qingshi said this, County Magistrate Xu knew that he had already made arrangements, so he came over to salute Xiao Chuyi again, and asked them why they came.

Ling Qingshi explained the purpose of his visit, and the magistrate Xu naturally did not refuse to agree. He wrote it and handed it to Ling Qingshi for reading. After Ling Qingshi nodded, the magistrate Xu asked someone to transcribe it.

After the seal was stamped and Ling Qingshi put away these announcements, County Magistrate Xu solemnly knelt down to Ling Qingshi, "Thank you, my lord, for remembering these common people."
