Chapter 67 Encounter

A pot floated from the sky.

I have to bear the blame even if I don't even think about it.

Yang Zheng looked at Magistrate Cai's angry gaze, thought for a moment and said, "According to Daliang law, the crime of disrespect can be beheaded."

Magistrate Cai shuddered all over, and the anger in his eyes turned into fear.

Master Cai was also shaken all over. He kowtowed three times and begged for mercy: "Magistrate Cai made a big mistake by slandering the princess. However, the crime is not worthy of death. Please be kind to the princess and forgive him." Magistrate Cai lives."

Magistrate Cai tried his best to open his mouth, but the only sound he made was "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu". He struggled to kneel down, but his arms were tightly twisted, especially the guard on his right who punched him. His eyes were particularly fierce and he looked like he would punch him again at any time. He moved a few times, but then he didn't dare to move anymore.

Master Cai is still pleading hard for Magistrate Cai.

Jiang Shaohua waited for a moment and then said slowly: "Master Cai has been begging for mercy for you. I, the princess, will be lenient and spare your life!"

Master Cai kowtowed and his head became red and swollen. Hearing this, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Magistrate Cai had cold sweat on his forehead, feeling quite lucky to have escaped.

Then, I heard the princess say: "You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living. I, the princess, will take off your black gauze hat now. Are you convinced?"

It's better to be decapitated than beheaded.

Magistrate Cai couldn't speak, so he nodded. The resentment and resentment in my heart no longer dare to show on my face.

Jiang Shaohua did not give Magistrate Cai a chance to speak again, and ordered: "Qin Hu, take off his official hat and take off his official uniform."

Qin Hu responded loudly and neatly took off Magistrate Cai's official hat, while another bodyguard stripped off his official uniform.

Magistrate Cai's hair was messy and he was in a miserable state.

Jiang Shaohua looked at Master Cai: "He is your old master. Please be kind and righteous to serve him one more time. Accompany him to the backyard to change clothes and pack his luggage. You can take away all the gold and silver he has saved."

"Also, let him write a letter of resignation. This is the last dignity I can give him."

Master Cai responded with tears of gratitude, stood up and stepped forward, holding Magistrate Cai's arm.

Magistrate Cai glared at Master Cai fiercely.

Master Cai lowered his head and supported Magistrate Cai towards the back office. After entering the dormitory, Master Cai took out the ball of cloth from Magistrate Cai's mouth.

啐!

A mouthful of phlegm mixed with blood was spat on Master Cai's face.

"You wolf-hearted thing!" Magistrate Cai yelled angrily: "When you were poor, I took you in and made you a master. Over the years, I trusted you and valued you, and this is how you repay me!"

Master Cai was a little ashamed and raised his sleeve to wipe it: "Sir, listen to my explanation. I did not betray you. I went to plead guilty to the princess on your behalf, and I never flattered the princess. I did not expect that the princess would do this. decision……"

County Magistrate Cai couldn't listen at all, and pointed at the door: "Get out! I'm blind because I raised you, a white-eyed wolf. From today on, we will never be sworn in."

Master Cai's eyes turned red and he choked with sobs: "I really didn't betray my master, sir..."

"Now go and tell the princess that you don't want to be the magistrate of Li County." Magistrate Cai gritted his teeth and said aggressively: "I will resign and return to my hometown, and you will go with me."

Master Cai was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency has lost his official position. Instead of taking advantage of others, it would be better for me to take on the post of county magistrate. I am also a descendant of the Cai family. Once I have established a foothold in the future, I can also support the younger generations of the Cai family." "

Everyone has selfish motives.

The princess appreciated him and gave him the opportunity to officially become an official. This was the best opportunity in his life and he couldn't miss it.

啐!

Another mouthful of saliva with a fishy smell was spat on his face.

Master Cai wiped it silently and looked up at Magistrate Cai: "My lord, please save yourself the last bit of dignity!"     "Please write a resignation letter."

Magistrate Cai stared.

Master Cai did not dodge and looked into the eyes of Magistrate Cai.

Magistrate Cai gritted his teeth and sneered, pointing at the door: "Get out!"

Master Cai obediently rolled out of the door. However, he did not leave, just stood outside the door and waited.

The sun is strong today. Master Cai's eyes were originally small, but after being exposed to the sun like this, he could hardly open them and could only squint, making him look even more wretched.

With a livid face, County Magistrate Cai came over with the written resignation letter and threw it to the ground: "Cai Ye, don't think that you can secure the position of county magistrate just by holding on to the princess. You are just a poor scholar. I will support you so that the people in the county government will listen to you. Once I leave, see if you can subjugate them for your own use."

"I'm waiting for the day when you become as miserable as a lost dog!"

Master Cai didn't say anything. He lowered his head, picked up the resignation documents, and gave the last salute to Magistrate Cai: "Master Cai, please take care of yourself along the way."

Then, turned around and left.

The pace is not heavy at all, even a little brisk.

Magistrate Cai's chest heaved and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He wanted to scold this bastard for shamelessly abandoning his old master, but when he opened his mouth, what came out was sobs.

……

Master Cai quickly returned to the county government office and respectfully presented the resignation document of the former county magistrate.

Master Cai knew the rules very well and handed the document into Yin Zhu's hands. The silver vermilion was presented to the princess again.

Jiang Shaohua took a casual look and gave the document to Chen Zhuo. Then he ordered: "Invite everyone from the county government to the lobby."

Master Cai responded hurriedly and immediately arranged for the Yamen servants to invite people.

There was such a big commotion in the county government today, and the three county magistrates, county lieutenants, principals and clerks were already trembling.

Summoned by the princess, the three of them did not dare to delay for a moment, and rolled into the courtroom, each with his head lower than the other: "I am here to see you, the princess."

Jiang Shaohua said kindly: "Everyone, please get up. Sit down and talk."

The three of them calmed down, thanked the favor, and took their seats. It wasn't until this moment that they met the rumored princess...the "yellow-haired girl" in Magistrate Cai's mouth.

The princess is young, the princess is beautiful, and her eyes are very bright.

These bright eyes swept across their faces one by one. For some reason, they felt guilty and wanted to bow their heads.

Jiang Shaohua signaled with his eyes. Chen Zhuo nodded briefly and said: "Magistrate Cai neglected the princess and made disrespectful remarks. He has been severely punished. From today on, Magistrate Cai is dismissed from his official position."

"The post of county magistrate cannot be left vacant. The princess has decided that Master Cai will be the magistrate of Li County."

The three of them were shocked and looked up suddenly.

Magistrate Cai's dismissal was expected by them. I even quietly thought about the vacant official position... After all, there were only three of them in the official office of Li County. The princess promoted them with just one word.

I never expected that the princess would support Master Cai, a poor scholar!

Jiang Shaohua said with a smile: "You guys have come to meet the newly appointed Magistrate Cai."

When Master Cai heard these three words, Magistrate Cai, his whole body trembled, and his face quickly flushed.

The three of them looked at each other, and Mo Xian Cheng summoned up the courage to speak: "I dare to ask, official appointments must go through the court, and the officials must issue official documents. Is it childish for the princess to appoint a new county magistrate today?"
