The county lord had a sad face, and said to Jian Huaizhen and Jian Polang: "I said this woman, this son, what did I offend you, what do you want me to do?" ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a straight face: "Didn't I say it just now? I want to take a look at your holy decree, if not, I will not only make a fuss with you, the county magistrate of Wushan County, but also what kind of casualties will occur, I dare not guarantee it. ”

When Jian Huaizhen said these words, he was obviously threatening, but the county lord reluctantly accepted her threat this time. Because Jian Huaizhen was so powerful just now, he had already seen it, and he couldn't withstand the trouble between Jian Huaizhen and Jian Polang at all, if the two of them continued to toss like this, it was really possible for this county government to be overturned by them.

So he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, in that case, I will show you the holy decree, but this matter is confidential, and you can't tell anyone else." ”

Jian Polang pointed at him and scolded loudly: "What are you talking about confidentiality, you foolish county master? Just now, when your county magistrate arrested people, he said, "Then the holy decree is hanging above the hall?" ”

He shouted and scolded wantonly there, and the county lord's face turned red for a long time before he said, "How can you hang the holy decree on the lobby?" What about the Holy Purpose here? ”

After saying that, he flipped through the hall for a long time, and pulled out a handful of bright holy decrees, and then he took it to the staff master and asked him to show it to Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen looked at the holy decree, but at this time, she was surprised to find that the paper of the holy decree was exactly the same as the paper of the holy decree in the imperial court, and the jade seal covered on the side of the holy decree also showed that it was the appearance of the jade seal in the palace, which was exactly the same as the seal covered by the jade seal in the palace, and there was almost no difference.

The only difference is that there is a small point missing from the corner of this jade seal, if you don't look closely, you can't see that this is a fake and shoddy holy decree. The location of this Wushan County is so remote, and the county order is a seven-grade sesame petty official, of course, he has not seen what the holy decree looks like, and such a holy decree can naturally fool him through.

And Jian Huaizhen has seen the holy decree for a long time, and of course she knows that the real holy decree cannot be like this. It's just that this decree is really fake, and even the paper of the decree is exactly the same. If it weren't for the fact that she was accustomed to seeing the Divine Decree, she would never have been able to tell the difference.

So she looked at it for a long time, and the expression on her face became more and more heavy. After a long time, she pointed to Wushan County and said, "Wushan County Order, you have been deceived, this holy decree is not true at all." ”

"What? Not a true decree? Don't be joking here, although I say that my Wushan County Order is just a seven-grade official with sesame mung beans, but what the holy decree looks like, I have heard of it, this holy decree is exactly the same, how can it be fake, and the one who came to deliver the decree is clearly the father-in-law next to the emperor. ”

Jian Huaizhen laughed and said: "How could the father-in-law around the emperor come to your remote town to spread the decree, and the matter of increasing taxes is not issued by the household department?" Could it be that a holy decree of the emperor can change the order of the household department? ”

But the county magistrate said in a sneering manner: "Ouch, I said this lady, there are some things you don't know, you look at these things, it seems that they have to rely on the official documents issued by the household department, but doesn't this household department also have to be submitted to the emperor for approval?" To put it bluntly, it is the emperor who is in charge in the end. So now that the emperor has a holy decree, how dare I disobey it? Besides, you say that this decree is false, and this decree is false, and whether this decree is true or false, can't I still see it? ”

He said there with a triumphant face. Jian Huaizhen was so angry with him that he said for a long time: "You are such a bastard." ”

"Hey, I said you lady, how can you open your mouth to swear?" The county official was so angry that he didn't dare to rush with Jian Huaizhen, because he felt that Jian Huaizhen would perform demon magic.

Jian Huaizhen said firmly: "I tell you, this holy decree will be invalid from now on, and it can no longer be used, if not, your Wushan County decree is an accomplice, I have said it, this holy decree is fake." ”

The Wushan County Commander looked at Jian Huaizhen with some arrogance, and said to her: "Yes, this lady, you know the demon law, I am a little afraid of you, but what does this mean?" Even so, I can't depose it because of a few of your false words. If this holy decree is abolished, and the emperor will investigate it at that time, will you be able to bear it, or will I be able to bear it? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jian Huaizhen, and he was very uplifted.

Jian Huaizhen was so angry with him that she couldn't speak for a long time, but despite this, she didn't continue to worry about him, because she knew that if she talked to this confused county order for a long time now, he wouldn't listen to it, and now the plan was to reveal his identity, and then tell him that this holy decree was fake, and he might still listen to his own opinion.

So Jian Huaizhen said to him: "Since I said that this holy decree is false, of course it is false, can I still lie to you?" ”

After finishing speaking, she threw her golden seal to the county order and said, "This is the golden seal of the main palace, you can just take a look." ”

She said as she tossed the golden seal over. The confused county order took it with his hand, and he actually caught it, and after catching it, he took the gold seal in his hand, and looked at it over and over again in his hand.

I saw the words "Princess Huaizhen" written on the gold seal in seal, and after he read it, he kept looking at Jian Huaizhen there, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud, and he said: "I finally know who you are." ”

Jian Huaizhen was slightly stunned by the tone of his speech, and asked, "Of course you know who we are." ”

"I know who you are, you turned out to be thieves."

"What did you say?" Jian Huaizhen was stuck for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"So you two are stealing things, huh? But you are also really capable, you actually stole the golden seal of the eldest princess in the palace, it is really amazing, and I also admire you deeply. ”

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up, Jian Huaizhen was speechless by him for a long time, who knows, the county order was still there and said smartly: "Although I haven't seen what the golden seal of the eldest princess should be, but I see that your golden seal is not far from ten, but your martial arts are so high, why don't you look like the eldest princess, how can the eldest princess of the imperial court be able to do martial arts?" So I think you must be two male and female thieves, after you stole the golden seal of the eldest princess, you were abducted. Am I right? Hahaha, the county is getting smarter. ”

Jian Huaizhen was so angry with him that he didn't know what to say for a while, but at this time, the head catcher approached him and whispered to him: "County master, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

The county lord shook his hand and said: "If you have anything to say, you can say it, this county likes to listen to the voices of ordinary people, and this county is a good lord." ”

The chief catcher said on the side: "Master, you have listened to my words, don't be hit." ”

"you, how could I possibly be hit. You say, Master Ben behaves rightly, sits upright, there is nothing to be sorry for, and he has never done it. ”

He waved his hand and said with a very serious look. The chief catcher approached him and whispered: "Just now you said that the eldest princess doesn't know martial arts, but as far as I know, the eldest princess is the best master in the world." And the lady in front of her, she should be regarded as one of the best masters in the world. And I think her martial arts are really very strong, and she is also very good at light industry, you look at her all-round style, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like an ordinary person. ”

"What did you say?" The old man stammered for a long time, and his eyes widened from looking at the head catcher. The chief catcher had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to the old man, and the old man was cold, and sat there for a long time before saying, "You didn't lie to me, did you?" You're not lying to me, are you? ”

The chief catcher hurriedly shook his head and said: "How dare I deceive the eldest master, I just think so, as for whether it is or not, it is still necessary for the eldest master to verify it himself." ”

He made a bitter melon-like face to the old man, because he couldn't get along with that Jian Huaizhen just now, and he didn't want Jian Huaizhen to be the real eldest princess.

The county official looked at the golden seal for a long time, and then he walked down from the lobby with some caution, personally moved a rosewood chair, moved it to Jian Huaizhen and said, "Please sit down first, I think there are a few things to ask you, can you see if it's okay?" ”

Jian Huaizhen raised his eyes and glanced at him and said, "If there is something, you can ask." ”

So the confused county magistrate opened his mouth there and asked: "I want to ask you, you said that you are the eldest princess, so who is this person next to you?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jian Polang: "As far as this county knows, it seems that the eldest princess does not have a son. ”

Jian Polang suddenly cried and laughed and said: "You are really old and confused, the eldest princess is not married at all, how can you have a son?" I am the grandson of the former Shangshu Jian Shihong, the son of the former general Jian Wenying, do you know who I am? My name is Jian Polang. ”

He said there, and when the county official heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he felt that something was right, and then he continued to ask: "You said that you are the eldest princess, then I will continue to ask you, there is a very powerful palace maid by the side of the eldest princess, what is your name?" ”

Jian Polang continued: "Of course it's Aunt Zero, who doesn't know? My princess and aunt are in charge of the candle shadow in the capital and confess the door, how can she not be martial arts? My princess and aunt assisted the emperor of the Five Dynasties, how could she be confused? ”

While Jian Polang was there, he said to the confused county magistrate that the confused county magistrate finally understood a little when he heard it now. He pounced and knelt down for Jian Huaizhen, his face was really ugly than that of a pig killer.

He looked at Jian Huaizhen for a long time before saying: "You are really the eldest princess, the eldest princess spares her life, this county really didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me." It's just that this county can't imagine that you, the eldest princess, would come to this small place, and ask the eldest princess to forgive me? ”

After finishing speaking, he kept kowtowing on the ground, and the rest of the headcatchers and staff masters, seeing that Jian Huaizhen was really the eldest princess of the imperial court, they finally understood why Jian Huaizhen could be so powerful, it turned out that it was because she was strong in martial arts and had reached the point of reaching the peak, so everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "That's it, this palace doesn't blame you, this palace just wants to tell you that this holy decree is fake." ”

The confused county official looked at Jian Huaizhen, scratched his cheeks and said, "This holy decree obviously has the emperor's jade seal on it, how can it be fake, and ask the eldest princess to make it clear." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed the emperor's jade seal on it, which looks no different from the emperor's jade seal, but you pay attention to the place in the upper right corner, where a slight piece is missing, which is different from the real holy decree." ”

As she spoke, she took out a real holy decree from her bosom, and then threw it to the confused county official, who took it and looked at the fake holy decree, and it took him a long time to react. said: "Yes, there is no difference between the two holy decrees of the eldest princess on the surface, even on paper, the only difference is the font of the writer, and the upper right corner of the seal is missing." ”

Jian Huaizhen's face was suddenly covered with a layer of cold mist, and she said: "Yes, this writer is sometimes not drawn up by the emperor himself, and it is understandable to ask the ministers below to help draw up the holy decree, but the jade seal that is missing a corner cannot deceive people." ”

Only then did the confused county magistrate realize that he had been deceived by a false holy decree.

He looked at Jian Huaizhen and said as if asking for help: "The eldest princess, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I don't know why I encountered a false holy decree, I don't know about this matter, and please let me go, I am also one of the victims." ”

Jian Huaizhen glared at him and said: "Don't you say that you are also one of the victims, this palace saw how you connived at your subordinates to do wrong, you actually let your subordinates collect harsh taxes outside, causing the people to live in misery, many of the people have fled to the capital now, and the palace also knew about this matter with the emperor, so I asked the emperor to investigate in person." ”

"What, the emperor knows about this?" The county magistrate of Wushan County suddenly collapsed to the ground.

It took a long time to push Jian Huaizhen and say: "The eldest princess, please let me go, in fact, although I am a little confused in this county order, I am not greedy." If you don't believe it, you can inquire among the people of Wushan County, because it is because of this holy decree that I will do what the holy decree requires. ”

Jian Huaizhen was a little dazed by what he said, so he asked, "What did you say?" Does the Holy Decree teach you to commit adultery, to commit adultery, to commit adultery? Looting the people's property? ”

"Yes, that's what my father-in-law who came to deliver the decree said. The father-in-law said that now the treasury is empty, so the state used to collect only one load of grain, but now it has to be increased to ten loads, and all kinds of taxes must be levied, such as a tax on eating, a sleep tax, and a walking tax. In short, there must be all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, otherwise it will be my disadvantage to be an official, the eldest princess, you think. I'm just a little county master, where do I dare to confront the court, of course, whatever the court says, I will do it. I asked the father-in-law who was preaching the decree, and I said what if the people refused to pay the taxes. The father-in-law who delivered the decree told me that if the people refused to agree, then let people beat and scold as they deserved. In short, I must get the taxes anyway, if I can't get these taxes, not only will I lose my black hat, but also my sex order, and the lives of my staff and all the servants, if you don't believe it, you can just do it. ”

Those staff officials all knelt down and looked at Jian Huaizhen and said, "Yes, that's true. ”

Jian Huaizhen sat there silently, but Jian Polang was a little unconvinced and said: "Since you are forced, then why are you all wearing gold and silver, and this yamen is built like a small palace?" ”

The county commander said to Jian Huaizhen with a bitter face: "The eldest princess, in fact, this is when the father-in-law came to collect the silver, he rewarded us with the rest of the silver. At that time, the county also took pity on the people for their hard lives, and said that they would distribute the silver to the people, but the father-in-law said that he would take out the money to build the county government. Otherwise, the emperor will blame me. He also said that the more luxuriously the county government was repaired, and the more taxes were collected, the more my official position would be promoted. If not, sooner or later I will be removed from my official position, and all my officials will be removed from their posts and investigated, and all these messy things they wear on their bodies will be rewarded to them by the father-in-law. ”

"Oh, does that father-in-law come often? What does it look like? Jian Polang was about to say something when he was interrupted by Jian Huaizhen, who opened his mouth and asked the big confused county order.

Jian Huaizhen knew that now was not the time to hold the confused county commanders and officials accountable, and if what they said was true, then the problem was the father-in-law who came to deliver the holy decree.

If the father-in-law who came to deliver the holy decree was the one who faked the holy decree, then as long as this matter was investigated from him, he could find out sooner or later, so Jian Huaizhen grabbed the key point and asked.

The county magistrate thought for a while and said, "Actually, this is easy to do, that father-in-law will come on the first day of every month, and he will come and carry away all the taxes we receive." ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't know what to say now, she pointed to Wushan County and reprimanded: "You are too confused with this county order, how can you let people take away the taxes you collect casually?" Don't you have to hand over to the state every time? ”
