The children were very happy and watched the pedestrians, shops and other conditions on the street to see if they could make any new discoveries.

Tang Yingying followed behind, buying something or souvenirs from time to time, thinking of sending some souvenirs back, lest His Majesty lose his temper again, saying that they were patronizing and playing, and they didn't think about him at all.

This has happened before.

After walking for a while, the little sweetheart slipped to Tang Yingying's side, took her hand, and whispered, "Mother, I noticed that there are few beggars on the street. There are two possibilities, one is that the county order drove out the beggars, and the other is that the people in the town are doing well, and there are not many beggars."

There are a lot of beggars in Xidu, but they are organized, and these beggars have a good relationship with their mother, and she often goes to play with those beggars.

Tang Yingying touched her head and praised, "The little sweetheart is very observant. The number of beggars can tell the situation of a town to a certain extent. If there are too many beggars in a town, then there is something wrong with the town."

The little sweetheart nodded obediently, and then pulled the eldest prince and a few people to the front of a few beggars, and she threw dozens of copper plates into the beggars' bowls.

"May I ask you something?" She squatted down and asked politely.

Several children of the eldest prince also squatted down, and their attitude did not look like children from a big family at all.

A few beggars were flattered and asked a few children one after another.

The little sweetheart put her hands in her sleeves, tilted her head and asked, "Do you think the county magistrate here is a good person?"

She was so direct that a few beggars were stunned, and then they ran away, not even asking for bowls.

"Whoa...... What are you running?" Sweetheart blinked, puzzled, "Why did they run?"

The eldest prince had a guess: "Maybe they live here and don't dare to say anything about the county order. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, and the county order is the head snake here, and no one wants to offend."

The little sweetheart suddenly looked sideways at her mother: "Mother, is this the case?"

Tang Yingying's chin bowed: "As the eldest prince said, a strong dragon can't overpower the earth snake. Not only these beggars, but also the people of the town, who have lived here for generations, and no one wants to offend the county ordinance."

"Little sweetheart, you're asking too directly. This is not the Western Capital, and they won't tell you easily."

Xiao Tianxin was a little embarrassed, she pouted and snorted, "Then I'll go to the restaurant to inquire." I don't believe it, I can't find out."

She is determined to enter the Women's Army, how can she not inquire about these things and pave the way for herself to enter the Women's Army.

Tang Yingying smiled and nodded her a few times: "Then let's go sit in the restaurant."

The group moved to the best restaurant in town.

They didn't ask for a private room, but sat in the corner of the lobby.

Xiao Er asked with a smile on his face, "What do the guest officers want to eat?" We have a few specialties here, would you like to try them?"

Tang Yingying asked Xiao Er to report the name of the dish, and then asked a few children, "What do you want to eat?"

Several children told them what they wanted to eat.

"Like, a little more? We can't eat that much."

"It's a little bit more. I'm going to keep my stomach for something delicious, so let's have less."

Several children discussed, and finally ordered two meat, two vegetables and one soup, all of which were the signature dishes of the restaurant.

Xiao Er answered and went to the back kitchen.

Tang Yingying's eyes showed appreciation: "You guys are doing the right thing. We don't lack silver, but that doesn't mean we can waste it."

The little sweetheart shook her legs and said with a smile, "I have always remembered my mother's teachings."

Tang Yingying feigned anger: "Do you remember, do you still deliberately commit it? If you can be more obedient and don't run around all day, my mother will be happier."

This kid doesn't know who he looks like, he can't sit still, and he loves to run out all day long.

The little sweetheart shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue, hehe, the outside world is so attractive to her, so she will run out all day long.

Then

The discussion of the diners attracted the attention of Tang Yingying and several people.

"Have you heard? It is said that the Prince Regent and his wife have come to our place and put up a notice. said that there was a grievance, let us go to the county government to say these grievances."

"The trick of the officials to protect each other. These officials are accustomed to being face-saving sons, and when the regent and his wife are gone, it is not the county order that has the final say, and the county order will be served in one pot at that time."

"How do you speak? The Prince Regent and his wife are not like that. I think about how many good things the regent and his wife have done in the past few years, one is a good hall, the other is a women's army, and those Confucian scholars are invited to teach poor students."

"Yes, yes, yes! If it's really the Prince Regent's husband and wife, I believe it. Thinking about the two things of the Women's Army and teaching poor students, our people have benefited a lot. My next-door neighbor's daughter joined the Women's Army, and the family's life is much better, and their status is much higher."

"I have a friend of mine, a relative of a friend, who is supporting his son's education, and his family is destitute. But since the Confucian taught poor students, his son has fallen into the eyes of nobles, and now he is a small official. I heard that when I get off the examination room next year, if I can get a good ranking, my official position will go further."

"I've heard that someone has already gone to the county office. Boom, do you think something will happen to the county order?"

"Probably not, right? I think the county order is very good, although it hasn't done much practical things, but it hasn't harmed our people."

Tang Yingying, who heard this, narrowed her eyes, and when Mo Chen found it out, she would be able to know what kind of person this county order was.

Meanwhile.

County office, lobby.

Mo Chen sat in the first place, the county magistrate stood beside him, and kneeling down was more than a dozen ordinary people.

"Whatever you have to do with you, let me tell you, and the king will help you." Mo Chen said.

More than a dozen ordinary people usually tremble when they see the county order, not to mention the regent of the current dynasty, they tremble so much that they can't even say a word.

Mo Chen was not in a hurry, he sat there with his eyes half-closed.

From time to time, the county magistrate raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and kept thinking about whether he had done anything he shouldn't have done during his reign, whether he had made mistakes, and so on.

If he had known that there would be today, he would have been more diligent in whatever he said, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in this world.

More than a dozen people looked at each other, and then an old woman with a hunched back trembled, "Your Royal Highness the Regent, really, will you really call the shots for the untouchables?"

Mo Chen opened his eyes and said gently, "Old man, I will make decisions for you. If the county magistrate really does something that should not be done, I will definitely punish him severely."

The old woman didn't know what she thought, and wiped her tears with sorrow: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Regent to make decisions for my daughter."

She knocked her head hard several times with a "bang": "Little girl, little girl was killed by the county order!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The county magistrate was so frightened that his tone was raised: "When did I kill your daughter? I dare to touch my conscience and say that I have found out all the murders that have occurred in the town, and besides, I have never seen your daughter."

Mo Chen glanced at him lightly.

The county magistrate didn't dare to speak anymore, he was very aggrieved, he really didn't kill the old man's daughter.

Mo Chen said softly to the old woman, "Old man, can you elaborate?"

The old woman was already out of the way, and she said hatefully, "The little girl was humiliated to death by the younger brother of the county concubine!"

The county order widened his eyes, what the hell? The younger brother of his concubine? This has to do with him...... This means that the younger brother of his concubine killed someone, but his county order was concealed?

The old woman said the whole thing in detail, she gave birth to her only child at an advanced age, and she is a very sensible and well-behaved daughter. Although life is not easy, there is always hope.

Who knows, that day, the little girl went to the embroidery workshop to sell needlework, but never returned. She and her wife searched for a long time, and finally found their disheveled, bruised daughter who had long been killed in a ditch not far from the embroidery workshop.

At that time, her wife fainted from crying and never woke up.

While she was in charge of the funeral, she was investigating the cause of her daughter's death everywhere. Until, an embroidery lady in the embroidery workshop secretly told her that she was the younger brother of a concubine in the county order

Brother, he took a fancy to the little girl, but the little girl did not obey, and was humiliated to death by him and his fox friends in public, and finally the body was thrown into the ditch.

"My poor daughter was killed by those bad men."

After asking Mo Chen, the county magistrate asked the old woman, "Didn't you report this?"

"How dare I report it?" The old woman's eyes were red, and she cried louder and louder: "That's your concubine's brother, how can you help me. Moreover, your concubine sent people to threaten me. Say, if I dare to talk nonsense, or report the crime, I will not die a good death."

"County Order, you have been derelict in your duties." Mo Chen said lightly.

The county commander almost knelt, this was indeed his dereliction of duty: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, I will send someone to arrest someone now. Besides, I'll bring the concubine with me."

Mo Chen hummed.

After the county magistrate asked who it was, he immediately arranged for the arrest of a few suspects, and asked people to bring the concubines over.

The concubine came quickly, she thought it was a good thing, and walked in with a smile on her face.

When she saw that the regent was there, and there were more than a dozen people, her eyebrows jumped a few times.

"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Regent. Master, is there something wrong with you letting the concubine come over?" She was blessed with a gift.

With Mo Chen's consent, the county magistrate asked the concubine: "Do you know about what your brother did?"

The concubine sighed in her heart, and her face was quite steady: "Master, did the concubine's younger brother do something stupid?"

When the county magistrate heard her say this, he was really angry.

He pointed to the old woman and asked the concubine, "Do you know her?" Don't tell me that you don't know her, that you sent men to threaten her, and that your brother did all the mad things he did."

"You're so good, helping your brother do these evil things in my name, and you still don't admit it."

The concubine's face turned pale, she really didn't expect that after so long, it would be shaken out: "Master, this is not like this, it is that cheap...... It was the woman who seduced my brother, and my brother was so well-behaved and sensible that he would never do anything bad."
