She turned into a noble lady in the book, she wanted to lie down

Chapter 74 74. Substitution?
"Help the princess, please help the princess."

After the figure came over, he didn't step forward, but was a few steps away from Liu Xinning, knelt down and kowtowed.

Liu Xinning hurriedly looked over and found that it was a thin old man with gray hair.

She frowned deeply, "Old man, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Although her identity is well known, her appearance cannot be recognized by just anyone on the street.

"You are the princess of Zhaoyang. Xiaomin is begging you to save his life." The old man said affirmatively.

Liu Xinning couldn't help but took a few steps back, and put her right hand on the sleeve arrow on her left arm.

It's all because she wanted to take Chunnuan to Jushanzhuang secretly, so she asked Chunnuan to park the carriage far away from the gate, and now there is no helper.

However, with the drug in her hand, the hidden weapon of the jewelry on her body, and the continuous sleeve arrows, she should not be able to defeat the old man alone.

"How do you know me?"

"The princess sent the county master away just now, and Xiaomin saw it from the side. Princess, Xiaomin is not a bad person. Xiaomin is a citizen of Zhaoyang County, please listen to the princess."

The old man also seemed to see Liu Xinning's vigilance, and hurriedly explained.

As the old man said, he threw over his household registration and road guides, "Please ask the princess to check."

Liu Xinning signaled Chunnuan to go over and get something, but she was still vigilant and maintained the movement of throwing sleeve arrows at any time.

Chun Nuan quickly took the household registration and road guide, and after checking carefully, she nodded to Liu Xinning.

"Old man, what's the matter with you, let me go in and talk slowly."

Liu Xinning thought about it, but still felt that it would be safer to be in a place with her own people.

Hearing this, the old man only felt that there was hope, and the tears flowed down immediately.

"As the princess said, this matter needs to be explained in detail."

As soon as the old man said it, Liu Xinning felt that he was not an ordinary farmer.

She winked at Chun Nuan, and Chun Nuan led the old man to the gate.

As for Liu Xinning, she walked vigilantly at the back.That way, if the old man moves, she can deal with it in time.

Chunnuan knocked on the door, and saw the concierge's surprised eyes: "Master, you came back so soon? Who is this person?"

"Go and call a guard." Liu Xinning didn't answer the concierge's words, but directly ordered.

As soon as the man heard it, he immediately shouted loudly, and several guards came at once.

"search."

As soon as Liu Xinning finished speaking, some of the guards stood vigilantly in front of her, and some stepped forward to search carefully.

The old man didn't resist, and let the guards search him.

Soon, the guards came to report that there was nothing dangerous on the old man.

Only then did Liu Xinning and Chun Nuan feel completely relieved.

"Let's go."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xinning led the old man to the main hall of the front yard.

The old man was walking in the corridor in the yard, looking at the passing pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and the guards who greeted Liu Xinning, his waist couldn't help but bend even more.

Liu Xinning entered the main hall and sat in the first place, and after letting Chun Nuan guard the door, the old man started talking.

It turned out that the old man's surname was Zhang Mingxian. Although he had gray hair, he was only in his forties this year.

He was originally the shopkeeper of a shop in Zhaoyang City, Zhaoyang County.

After the original owner passed away, the new owner dismissed him and replaced him with his own people.

He suddenly lost his job, and his wife and son had both passed away, and he was alone, thinking about Ye Luo returning to his roots.

His hometown is in a remote mountain village in Dongshan County under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyang County.

Zhang Xianwen hadn't returned to his hometown for three years, and it was only when he returned this time that he learned from the patriarch that his elder brother's family had died of illness.

Now only a nephew and a niece remain.

But his nephew was in jail.

Zhang Xianwen was naturally shocked and asked around.As a result, the villagers kept their secrets secret.

Until later, relying on money, Zhang Xianwen secretly inquired about it from a child in the village.

It turned out that his nephew died of his father's illness and his mother, so he could only take his younger sister and rely on the clan to survive.

Later, the son of a rich family in the county was jealous of others in the flower building, and accidentally killed a person.

Murder pays for life, the rich man should have received the death penalty.

In particular, the deceased was a scholar, and now he is a child, and if he takes another exam, he will be awarded the title of scholar.

But the rich man gave up a lot of money to bribe the county magistrate, and compensated the family of the poor man for forgiveness, so he was only sentenced to 20 years.

But even in these 20 years, the rich man didn't want to go to jail, so he had to spend money to buy a poor man to go to jail for him.

After searching around, they found Zhang Xianwen's nephew.

Zhang Xianwen's nephew was helpless at first, the patriarch took the money and distributed some to the elders, and sent him in to replace him.

This kind of thing of buying someone to take the blame has existed since ancient times, but it is just wishful thinking.

However, Zhang Xianwen's nephew was unwilling.However, he couldn't beat the clan.

The patriarch threatened him with his ancestral grave and younger sister, and made him go to jail instead.

When Zhang Xianwen returned to his hometown, he wanted Ye Luo to return to his roots, and he wanted someone to hold the flag and throw the basin for him.

Now, this family is going to be extinct, how can he agree?

Therefore, Zhang Xianwen first took the money to the county prison to try to clear it up, and rescued his nephew.

However, in the government, if you have not been imprisoned, you can change someone. You have been imprisoned for half a year, how can you make any more troubles?
Therefore, the yamen servant in the government handed Zhang Xianwen to the rich family.

When the rich man saw someone doing something bad, he naturally beat up Zhang Xianwen and threatened him.

However, Zhang Xianwen had worked as a shopkeeper outside and often dealt with government servants, so he had some knowledge.

He knew that the county government was afraid that it would be impossible to go, so he wanted to go to the county government to sue.

Unexpectedly, the rich family was so willing to take care of the only prodigal son that they married their young daughter to the teacher who was next to the county guard as a concubine.

With the teacher guarding him, Zhang Xianwen naturally couldn't get close to the county government office.Not to mention, the rich family has been sending people to chase and intercept them.

Zhang Xianwen had no choice but to leave Zhaoyang County with many scars and secretly go to the capital.

He came to the capital for no other reason than to seek help from Princess Zhaoyang.

The administration of the Daqing Dynasty was divided into two levels: county and county.

The imperial power does not come down to the county!Therefore, only officials above the county level are assigned by the imperial court.

The Daqing Dynasty was also particular about it, and did not handle it if it leapfrogged.

That is to say, the affairs of any county are under the management of the local yamen, and the yamen in other places are not allowed to interfere without authorization.

Therefore, what happened in Zhaoyang County can only be dealt with at the county government.If the county government doesn't care, other counties can't.

However, Zhaoyang County is the fiefdom of Princess Zhaoyang.

Although Princess Zhaoyang has no actual jurisdiction, this is her fief after all, so she can listen to Datian.

Therefore, Zhang Xianwen, who was quite intelligent, gave up going to the county government office and went directly to Beijing to find Princess Zhaoyang.

However, the Princess Changle's mansion is in the eastern inner city, where can he, an ordinary person, get in?

Therefore, Zhang Xianwen inquired about the Zhuangzi who was the closest to the capital in the Princess's mansion, hoping to get acquainted with the people in Zhuangzi, and it would be good to pass on a message.

Zhang Xianwen wandered around here for a few days, and he was lucky to meet Liu Xinning.

In the evening, Liu Xinning went out to see Ye Lanqing off, and Zhang Xianwen, who was secretly hiding aside, saw her appearance.

When Liu Xinning went out just now, because she was going out from Zhuangzi, she didn't wear a veil, she just wanted to get out of the car and put it on again.

Who would have thought that he would be recognized just like that?
