The number one rebel of the Great Wu

"What are you muttering about?"

Shen Qingci frowned and gave a cold shout.

Magistrate Ma bent over, his face almost touching the ground.

"Your Highness, my humble servant and the clerk are currently figuring out how to find it."

"Jiangxia Town is so large, please grant us some more time, Your Highness..."

You should know that the Crown Princess's servants are servants with gold trim.

This person's life is more important than his own official hat.

Magistrate Ma and his advisor Hu are now extremely anxious; how can they find a needle in a haystack?

"I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. I also have clues here, Ru Shuang."

Ru Shuang strode forward and said loudly.

"I saw Xiao Gengzi enter Mianyue Tower, but when I went to look for him again, he was gone."

Upon hearing the name Mianyue Tower, Magistrate Ma and his advisor Hu were both stunned.

I suddenly felt like the sky had fallen!

Outsider, Mianyue Tower, isn't that the guy in my own prison?!

Oh no! How did this young master of the Shen family end up in the line of fire?

"The Moonlit Pavilion is a place of pleasure and debauchery, and my subordinates are all women, so it is inconvenient for me to go there."

"Therefore, I can only trouble Magistrate Ma to run this errand for me."

"Oh no, Magistrate, they're coming for us!"

Master Hu was quick-witted and immediately realized what was going on.

Magistrate Ma's mind went blank for a moment before he realized what was going on.

Your Crown Princess's maids are women, that's true, but aren't there also guards?

Even if all else fails, there are still the Shen family members and their servants.

No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be my turn!

Having spent so much time navigating the officialdom, Magistrate Ma immediately realized it was time to make a clean break.

He immediately crawled on his knees to Shen Qingci, his voice trembling with genuine emotion as he cried.

"I hereby inform Your Highness the Crown Princess that there is indeed such a person in the county jail."

"However, this person had a conflict with the three young masters of the Shen family and was already seriously injured when he was brought to prison."

"News just came from the prison... he's dead!"

"What?!"

Shen Qingci was truly shocked this time!

When the three members of the Shen family returned, they all had bruises and swelling on their faces, and this matter naturally did not escape Shen Qingci's notice.

According to Ru Shuang, not only those three good-for-nothings from the Shen family, but also several pimps from Mian Yue Lou were beaten badly!

"That's right! Waaaaaah!"

Magistrate Ma immediately began kowtowing frantically.

"That poor little eunuch was beaten to death by the three young masters of the Shen family!"

Why the eunuchs went to brothels is no longer important; Magistrate Ma just wants to clear his name as quickly as possible!

"Dead? That's impossible!"

Shen Qingci's delicate body trembled slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

How could someone as clever as Chen Changgeng have ended up killing himself?

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Rushuang," a hint of guilt flashed across her face.

If Chen Changgeng really died, then I also bear an inescapable responsibility.

His Highness had instructed me to stay with Chen Changgeng in case something happened to him.

As a result, he misunderstood Chen Changgeng, went back halfway to tell Shen Qingci, and even had the idea of ​​killing Chen Changgeng.

In the brief moment she left, an irreversible mistake occurred!

"No, no, I don't believe it."

"I want to go see what's going on in jail!"

Shen Qingci stood up abruptly, her eyes resolute.

Unexpectedly, the last time she went to the prison to mention Chen Changgeng, it was to ask him to do something for her.

This time, the reason for going to the prison to bring Chen Changgeng away was to collect his body!

Seeing Shen Qingci's dazed appearance, Magistrate Ma was already pounding with fear.

He still underestimated the status of this little eunuch.

It seems I can't completely clear myself of this huge matter.

"Master Hu, go to my room and bring me that book of incriminating evidence."

"Yes, it records the evidence of the evil deeds committed by the Shen family over the years."

"I'm going to... blow them up today!"

……

Inside the prison.

A flurry of hurried footsteps approached.

Geng Liang, who had been listening intently, immediately perked up and lay on top of Chen Changgeng, wailing and howling.

"Help! Help!"

"Someone has died!"

While shouting, he didn't forget to smear some blood on Chen Changgeng's face.

Just now, Chen Changgeng found a stone shard, cut Geng Liang's palm, and used his blood to disguise himself in order to sustain this act.

"Her Highness the Crown Princess has arrived!"

"The county magistrate has arrived!"

Upon hearing the report from outside, Geng Liang's heart skipped a beat.

The county magistrate? And Her Highness the Crown Princess!?

Brother Chen, who exactly are you? How did you manage to summon even the Crown Princess?

Geng Liang's face lit up with joy, and he immediately shouted even more enthusiastically.

Where are they?!

Shen Qingci angrily questioned him as he strode in and immediately saw Chen Changgeng lying on the ground, spitting blood.

Of course, there was also Geng Liang, who was lying on Chen Changgeng's body, wailing and lamenting.

Instantly, Shen Qingci's heart sank.

"What happened? Tell me!"

Geng Liang only glanced at Shen Qingci before being overwhelmed by her aura and beauty, unable to lift his head.

A commoner like him would never even see the county magistrate on a regular basis, let alone a big shot like the Crown Princess.

All the preparations were made, but they crumbled in an instant.

"Brother Chen, it's him, it's him!"

Geng Liang stammered, his mind blank.

"What exactly happened? How did Xiao Gengzi die?!"

With a whoosh, Ru Shuang drew her sword, about to sever the chains, when suddenly the sword in her hand paused.

She sensed a faint breath coming from Chen Changgeng.

So this guy wasn't dead after all!

Thinking of Chen Changgeng's usual glib and slick manner, Ru Shuang gritted her teeth in resentment.

They're putting on another show here!

"Your Highness, he's not dead; he's just putting on an act."

Ru Shuang quickly stepped back, leaned close to Shen Qingci's ear, and hurriedly told him the truth.

Shen Qingci was slightly taken aback, and a secret joy welled up in her heart!

At that moment, his tone naturally softened.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hold a grudge against you."

"Think carefully, think it through, what exactly happened in this prison!"

With Shen Qingci's words of encouragement, Geng Liang suddenly remembered what Chen Changgeng had taught him.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Highness, Chen Ge collapsed shortly after arriving at the prison, his limbs convulsing and he vomiting blood incessantly!"

"No, he died not long after!"

"The little man was terrified and screamed for help, but no one paid any attention."

"This led to Brother Chen's death!"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Ma, who was following far behind, felt his legs go weak.

Why would you pour dirty water on your own head?

"You're talking nonsense! He was clearly beaten to a pulp by the young master of the Shen family; he's beyond saving!"

"Enough! I will judge who is right and who is wrong."

Shen Qingci glared at Magistrate Ma with a cold face.

"Guards, take Xiao Gengzi back to the Shen family."

"As for you..."

"Magistrate Ma, what crime has this man committed?"

Just as Magistrate Ma was about to launch a smear campaign, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he stammered out...

"This person... has offended the young master of the Shen family."

"Ridiculous! Does such a crime even exist in the laws of our Great Wu Kingdom?"

"No...no."

Magistrate Ma lowered his head.

"Then hurry up and release him!"

"You will come back to the Shen family with me."

"Among you, who else is in prison for offending the Shen family?"

"Tell me the truth, and I will pardon you all!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the cell raised their heads in unison, their eyes gleaming with an unprecedented light.

"Your Highness, it's me! It's me!"

"Me too! We all are!"

As Magistrate Ma watched the prisoners in the jail stand up one by one, waving their hands excitedly, he felt as if the sky had fallen!
