Su Zhenzhen saw everything in the inn next door, and sweated for the county lord in her heart, and her hands against her chest were clenched tighter.

Concubine Xian noticed Su Zhenzhen's expression, walked to the window, and comforted, "Don't worry, the county lord's martial arts are handed over by those generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and those people's martial arts are at most three-legged cats in the county lord's place." ”

"I'm afraid that those people will do tricks." Su Zhenzhen looked at the county lord with a worried expression.

"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth."

In the courtyard, the county guard led people around the county lord, "Hmph, little girl, put down your whip, there are many of us, you can't whip it......" As he spoke, the entourage laughed, and in the eyes of the county lord, these people laughed extremely obscenely, so they decided not to talk nonsense with them, and to quickly beat them to the heart, so as not to dirty their hands.

The entourage was still laughing, the county lord's whip had been drawn in front of the county guard, the county guard dodged left and right, the county lord pressed and did not retreat, all the entourages saw this, and rushed forward with the dagger, the county lord waved the whip with one hand, intimidating the county guard, and holding down the dagger of one of the retinues with the other hand, against the grip.

The other attendants directly picked up the flower pots on the ground and threw them at the county lord.

"I, my flower pot, my flower......" The outsider sat on the ground again, kicked his legs, and screamed in his mouth, "What kind of sin have I created, you fight and fight, but don't touch my flower ......"

It's a pity that no one wants to hear his howl now, the yard is hot, the county guard holds the other end of the whip, and wants to snatch the whip away, the county lord laughs, and pulls his hand fiercely, and the palm of the person at the other end is like a fire, "Damn." ”

The whip was free again, and it danced more beautifully in the air, the blue sky and white clouds, the wind blew softly, the leaves rustled, the yard was already a mess, the fallen branches, the flower pots were shattered, and the petals were sprinkled on the ground, frowning; The dirt was scattered, the whip fell on the dirt, and the county lord waved his hand, and the eyes of the county guard and his entourage were already gray.

"My eyes ......"

"I can't see it, what's going on."

Before they could react, they saw the daggers in their hands fall one by one.

When they reacted, the entourage looked at each other.

"What are you doing in a daze, rubbish, call me! If anyone is cowardly, I will send him to work as a coolie. The county guard yelled, and the entourage swallowed their saliva, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet......

Hearing the word "coolie", the whip of the county lord was even more merciless. The whip rolled up the dagger on the ground and waved it among the entourage, from the arm to the neck, not deep or shallow, the county guard knew that he couldn't beat it, and wanted to sneak attack from behind, but the county lord kicked back, impartially, and kicked at the vital point of the man.

The county guard screamed, his pupils dilated, and then he fell directly to the ground.

Seeing the wave of the county lord's whip, the people in the inn all smiled.

Su Zhenzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, great, great......

"Your Majesty." Concubine Xian's face was full of joy, and the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

The emperor got up, "Let's go, let's go next door to watch the excitement." ”

The emperor sat there without saying anything or doing anything, just leaning back in his chair with one hand on his cheek, as if thinking about something. So after the county lord knocked the county guard down, the emperor suddenly stood up from the chair and staggered to the county guard.

Before the emperor could speak, the county guard saw someone get up, first shocked, thinking how this person looked so familiar, and hurriedly rubbed his eyes carefully with his hand to determine whether he had seen the wrong person, and finally after confirming that this person was indeed the emperor, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor to admit his mistake.

The county guard said in his trembling voice: "The emperor... Emperor... The emperor turned out to be you, right... I'm sorry. The county guard slapped his face with his hand while apologizing to the emperor, as if he wanted to use the trick to win the emperor's sympathy, and then said: "The little one has eyes and no beads, I don't know that the emperor has always been here, the little one has done something wrong, and I ask the emperor to spare his life." ”

The emperor glanced at him lightly, and without opening his mouth to say a word, he kept standing there, looking at the county guard, and listening to him there. The staff had been sitting on the side before, at this time he felt that things were not going well, and he was scared of a clever man, and immediately popped out of the chair, and then quickly ran to the side of the county guard and knelt down, and also kowtowed to the emperor to apologize, kowtowing while saying: "The emperor is sorry, we really don't know that the emperor is here, we are wrong, this matter is really our mistake, we should not do this, please forgive us, don't kill us, emperor." ”

When the emperor saw their situation, he still didn't say a word to them, so he said to his subordinates: "Come here, arrest them all and send them to the county guard's mansion, and I will interrogate them carefully to see what kind of situation this is." No one dares to do anything nonsense, is there a king in this world? ”

So, the emperor's subordinates came over and arrested the county guards and the outsiders, and the two of them were escorted and shouted while walking: "The emperor is wronged, the emperor, we are old and young, it is really not easy, and please let the emperor let go of the small horse." ”

The emperor has always been at the forefront, no matter how the county lord and the staff call, he kept walking without looking back, the county lord and concubine, and Su Zhenzhen and his party followed beside him.

After they arrived at the county guard's mansion, the emperor sat on a chair, and his subordinates escorted the county guard and the staff outside, and the two of them knelt on the ground, still saying to the emperor that the emperor spared his life. At this time, the emperor finally spoke, "You two tell me carefully, what is going on?" Why do you want to do it to those ordinary people, and there is also the phenomenon of overseers beating the elderly. If you do any more unsightly things, give me an honest explanation, otherwise you two won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

At this time, the county guard and the two people outside the staff faced the emperor's questioning, and they refused to speak, and they wanted to say something but never spoke. The emperor was angry at this time and said, "Haven't you two been talking all the way? Why do you have to give you a chance now to say that you don't say it, do you have to do it myself? The county guard and the staff were so frightened that they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!" ”

The emperor said again: "Then the two of you will truthfully explain the situation, and when the matter is clear, won't I let you two go after the truth comes out?" Do you want to live? ”

The county guard and the two people outside the staff have been speechless, they want to say anything but don't dare to speak, you look at me, I look at you, and they still refuse to speak. The emperor was really anxious at this time, and gave them a good look to see if they didn't want it, and his sudden temper suddenly came up, and he yelled at the two of them: "Do you two say it or not?" If you don't say I'll kill you two right away, I think my temper is too good, isn't it? ”

Hearing that the emperor was so angry, the two felt that the matter could no longer be hidden, and finally decided to say something to the emperor.

The outsider knelt on the ground and said, "I... I... I just asked some ordinary people to do things for us, I let them complete the tasks I gave them, and then give them the silver taels, this is a normal thing, you see I didn't do anything wrong, right, the emperor, we all do what we do with money, and the common people are also people who take a penny to do something. We were really wronged! ”

The emperor said angrily: "Bold, do you think I am so easy to be deceived? Don't think I don't know what kind of things you do all day long, just you are still good to the people, how do you squeeze the people every day, don't you have points in your heart? The staff quibbled: "Really not, your Majesty, don't be deceived by those people." I'm really good to the people, I really didn't oppress them, don't believe you go to someone and ask me what I do to them? The emperor said: "Presumptuous! Can you make sure you're telling the truth? Then you go to find a common person to come over, if someone testifies for you and proves that you did not squeeze them, I will let you go, do you dare? The staff member was speechless for a moment, because he knew that he couldn't find anyone to speak for him, how he usually oppressed those ordinary people, he himself knew as well as a mirror in his heart.

The county guard knelt beside him, and did not say a word.

The emperor said angrily: "Do you have anything else to explain now?" Do you treat the people so much, do you respect the fruits of their labor, and do you take them seriously? You're just relying on the county guard to be your brother-in-law, and you're just doing nonsense everywhere, do you really think that no one can clean you up? When the staff heard the emperor's words, they trembled with fright, and said while crying: "The little one knows that he is wrong, and the little one doesn't dare anymore, the emperor." You just spare my life, I promise that I will be good to the people in the future, and I will never squeeze them again, and I will not give them a penny of silver, and I will not beat and scold them. The county guard also immediately cried and said: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I will no longer shield the outsider, I will never give him a profit because I am his brother-in-law, you should be punished, but leave us a way to live, it is not easy for us, Your Majesty!" ”

When the emperor heard this explanation, his mood calmed down a little, and he said to the two of them: "If you still have anything to hide from me, tell me all of them today, and if you tell the truth, maybe I will give you the lightest punishment." If there's anything else to hide from me, be careful, your whole family won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

When the county guard heard this, he finally decided to confess everything one by one, he said: "The little one was not sober before, and he sold his official position to others without permission, the emperor knew that he was wrong, and he blamed me for being carried away by money at the time, I begged the emperor to forgive me, let the small one live, I really don't dare anymore." ”

When the emperor heard that they had explained everything clearly, he said to the ministers beside him: "The two of them will be handed over to you to deal with, let them live, and you can watch and give the other punishments or something." So he said something and left. The staff and the county guard were dragged out and taken away.

Su Zhenzhen did not participate in the interrogation of the county guard, and the emperor asked the accompanying imperial doctor to examine the county lord's body to see if there were any injuries.

Su Zhenzhen was worried about the county lord's body, so she waited for the county lord with the emperor in the hall, and the servant made good tea for Su Zhenzhen and the emperor.

"Su Zhenzhen, the widow asks you, what do you think about today's matter? What are the sins of these county keepers? ”

Su Zhenzhen thought about it, what does the emperor mean by this, since ancient times, women have not been allowed to interfere in politics, and the famous strong women in history have ended up unsatisfactory, so it is better to pretend not to understand.

Su Zhenzhen pretended to think and took a sip of tea, and calmly responded: "Thank you to the emperor for lifting up the grass people, but how can I know about this as a woman?" ”

Seeing that the emperor still wanted to ask, Su Zhenzhen took the opportunity to add, "Although this tea is precious, I can't taste how sweet it is." ”
