Chapter 166 The Tiger Shows Its Might
Daju: [Jingzhao Yin made a solemn oath in front of his wife that he would never touch the maids at home, even if he touched the prostitutes in the brothel. But this time he broke his oath.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [He is still a henpecked man? ]
Daju: [What does hoe-eared mean? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It means being afraid of his wife. ]
Daju: [Of course he is afraid. His wife’s family made a lot of efforts for him to become Jingzhao Yin.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If this is the case, Jingzhao Yin should not dare to take a concubine! ]
Daju: [Because his wife can't have children! So he can only turn a blind eye. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why doesn't his wife let him sleep with the maid? ]
Daju: [Because her mother died of anger because her father slept with her maid.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Well, a miserable childhood requires a lifetime to heal.]
Crowd of spectators, the backyard of Jingzhao Yin’s house turns out to be so exciting.
Didn't the wife of Jingzhao Yin have four children? Were they not all her biological children?
Daju: [What a poor woman. Her husband likes new women, but she doesn't care about them anymore. She just wants to keep her position as the wife and look glamorous when she goes out. The child is not her own. She stole the child from the concubines. She also killed the mothers of the concubines and kept the children.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Are people in this era so daring? That's a human life, right?]
Daju: [Times are different. You can’t look at women of this era from the perspective of your era. For women of this era, not having children is a sin.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Doesn't Jingzhao Yin know that his concubines were killed? ]
Daju: [I know, so what? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The people of Xijing have such a fatherly official. I'm afraid they have never felt what fairness is, right?]
Daju: [Whoever gives more money will have fairness. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is Jingzhao Yin a wealthy man? ]
Daju: [Of course he is. He is extremely rich. His wife’s family has also benefited from it and is trying their best to keep his position for him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Ah! Officials protect each other, officials protect each other! The common people are the ones who suffer.]
Daju: [If Nangong Rui comes to power, these people will be in trouble. So the situation in Xijing is very tense now. Should we go back quickly? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Eat the melon before you leave, there will be delicious food. ]
Daju: [There is nothing good to eat in Xijing, and it’s expensive. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [We should let Zhou Jingchen open a Qunyinghui chain store here, so that the people of Xijing can taste those delicious dishes.]
Daju: [Zhou Jingchen has money but no background, so this business cannot continue in Xijing.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Doesn't his wife have some influence in the underworld? That's enough. The government won't go against the underworld people.]
Daju: [This is Zhou Jingchen’s business. ]
I walked slowly with Daju on the main road of Xijing and appreciated the scenery of the city.
There were already some curious people in the crowd who told Jingzhao Yin Meng Tiancheng everything he had heard about him on the street.
Meng Tiancheng was furious in the Jingzhao Yin government office: "You ignorant girl, you ate the melon and it came to my head. I will skin her alive!"
"Sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that this young lady cannot be touched." The bailiff mustered up the courage to say this.
"Crown Prince? He will soon not be the crown prince anymore, why should we be afraid of him?" Meng Tiancheng thought of what Prince Li had said to him recently.
"Then let's go and capture that person and charge her with disturbing the peace?"
"Let's go, call three or two people. I want to see who dares to act rashly in my Xijing City."
Meng Tiancheng is already impatient.
However, something unexpected happened. Before Meng Tiancheng walked out of the Jingzhao Yin government office, Nangong Rui arrived with his men.
"Catch Meng Tiancheng, the man who disregards human life and is only interested in profit!"
Nangong Rui's personal bodyguard tied Meng Tiancheng up and threw him in front of Nangong Rui.
"You are a prince who is about to lose power, and you come to me to show off your power?" Meng Tiancheng, who was stepped on by the guards, was still being stubborn.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Prince Li. I have already controlled you. Your wishful thinking of following the dragon has come to nothing."
Nangong Rui looked at Meng Tiancheng lying on the ground coldly.
"Listen up, everyone. Seal the Jingzhao Yin government office, and then raid Meng Tiancheng's house. Oh, by the way, this is an imperial decree!"
Nangong Rui solemnly placed the imperial edict written by Nangong Qi in Meng Tiancheng's hand and said, "Why don't you thank the Lord for his grace?"
The big orange meowed three times: [The Jingzhao Yin was arrested! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Really? Let’s go and take a look.]
Someone in the crowd also shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Jingzhao Yin. Tie up Meng Tiancheng and confiscate his property. Everyone, go and see, go quickly!"
"Finally someone has come to punish this bastard official. We have been suffering for so many years!"
"I wonder which brave man has heard the voice of the heaven and eliminated the evil for the people!"
Tian Xiaoxiao felt like she was being carried by the crowd. In an instant, the street leading to the Jingzhao Yin government office was packed with people.
Some people even prepared rotten eggs. What's even more outrageous is that one farmer carried a load of dung buckets.
The onlookers knew that this was going to throw water on that unscrupulous official and automatically ignored the stench.
Soon they arrived at the Jingzhao Yin government office.
At this moment, the gate of Jingzhao Yinfu Yamen was wide open.
Nangong Rui sat in the Mingtang and said sternly, "I have been in charge of Jingzhao Yin for half a month. I have used half a month to clean up the mess of Jingzhao Yin. If you have any grievances, please write them down and submit them to me. I will give you a reply within three days."
The people cheered.
Many people immediately went to find scholars and talents to tell them about their grievances.
There were a few people who had been carrying the petition in their arms and asked the guards to help them present the petition.
After reading it carefully, Nangong Rui asked someone to rewrite the case closing statement.
All compensation required must be taken from Meng Tiancheng’s purse.
Those who had been sentenced to prison by Meng Tiancheng were released immediately, and those who were exiled were recalled.
Cases involving Xijing’s dignitaries will also give the people of Xijing a satisfactory response within one month.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, Nangong Rui is so tough? ]
Daju: [If I don’t stand up, I’ll die. 】
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It looks like he will become a wise ruler. ]
Daju: [People who are helped by Tiandao can’t be bad! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [We have almost finished eating the melon today, shall we go back? ]
Daju: [Watch for a while, there will be something interesting soon! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’m sleepy, there’s no bench! ]
Nangong Rui in the court seemed to have spotted Tian Xiaoxiao. He walked to the gate of the government office and bowed to Tian Xiaoxiao very respectfully: "Miss Tian, please take a seat!"
Crowd of onlookers: Who is this girl? She was invited by the prince himself and even sat to listen to the judgment.
"Your Highness, I cannot afford such great kindness!" Tian Xiaoxiao declined.
"Wucheng has been under your father's rule for fifteen years, and there has never been a wrongful conviction. Now, under your father's iron fist, Shengjing has a well-deserved reputation for public security. You have seen your father's judgments, so I would like to invite you to watch today."
Only then did everyone realize that the little girl wearing the muli was the daughter of the Shengjing governor.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, then let's listen for a while? ]
Daju: [Listen, it's okay to go back anyway. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: "Your Highness, I will respectfully obey your command! Please!"
After they sat down, many people came one after another with complaints.
