Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 184: Is there something going on between the elder sister and Mr. Zhou?

Ning Zhiwei was a little annoyed. Why did he come at this time instead of earlier? "Who are you?"

The man showed no respect at all, nor did he salute. His attitude was very bad. "Jinyiwei Captain Zhu Fugui, Princess Jingning, if we don't use force, you'd better surrender."

Dongsheng shouted, "How dare you, a mere thousand-householder, speak to my county lady like that? Who gave you the courage?"

Zhu Fugui held his head high, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. "Of course it's the court. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished just like a commoner. Even if you are a county lord, if you violate the laws of the Great Qi, you must accept the punishment."

As he spoke, the people fled one after another. Ning Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who reported it?"

I have seen many people like him, who curry favor with the powerful but pretend to be righteous, just to climb up by any means necessary.

Zhu Fugui said with a straight face, "This is a secret, Princess Jingning, are you trying to retaliate?"

Ning Zhiwei looked at him for a few times, "I'm just curious, when the remnants of the previous dynasty occupied Baiyun County, you Jinyiwei did nothing and let it go. Was this a dereliction of duty? Or have you colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

A gasp suddenly sounded, and Zhu Fugui's face changed drastically, "Nonsense, Princess Jingning, don't try to divert the focus."

He couldn't wait to order, "Come here, take her down."

Ning Zhiwei took out a token and asked, "Who dares?"

The Jinyiwei were all stunned. This was the Jinyiwei's special token. Seeing it was like seeing the Jinyiwei's highest official, the commander.

"Where did you get this token?"

In fact, it was Xiao Linfeng who asked Rong Jing to bring it to her, but she couldn't tell him.

"Your token is from the same place as mine, naturally."

Zhu Fugui's face turned pale and black, changing unpredictably. "This is impossible. Jinyiwei has no women. You must have robbed her from somewhere. Princess Jingning, you'd better tell the truth. It will be too late to torture her."

"I'll count to three, one, two..."

He looked like he was in a hurry to take Ning Zhiwei down. What else did Ning Zhiwei not understand? His eyes narrowed dangerously, "Who are you?"

"The new emperor? The fifth prince? Or the eldest prince?"

Zhu Fugui's expression froze, with fear, shock, and anxiety all written on his face. "What nonsense are you talking about? Brothers, take her down."

He is anxious, he is anxious!

However, the Jinyiwei hesitated and did not dare to take ruthless action. Zhu Fugui was so angry that he cursed and rushed to the front line himself.

Unfortunately, the Youth Camp was not a pushover either. Several teams changed their formations and surrounded the Jinyiwei to attack. In comparison, the Jinyiwei fought alone, while they worked as a team, cooperating with each other and had extremely strong attack power.

Jinyiwei gradually lost the upper hand, and Zhu Fugui was captured. "Let me go, let me go, I am a member of Jinyiwei, if you touch me, you will die."

"Drag them in and torture them." Ning Zhiwei gave an order, and part of the youth camp cleaned up the battlefield, part comforted the people, and part interrogated the Jinyiwei. Everything was done in an orderly manner.

Zhu Fugui was very arrogant at the beginning, thinking that no one would dare to torture the Jinyiwei. However, the youth camp was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger and only listened to Ning Zhiwei.

After being whipped, he became much more obedient.

Ning Zhiwei watched coldly, "Who sent you here?"

Zhu Fugui was covered in blood. "No one is instructing us. It is our responsibility to maintain local stability."

"continue."

Zhu Fugui was beaten all over and finally got scared. He suddenly realized that Ning Zhiwei was different from others. She even dared to kill officials, so why would she be afraid of the Jinyiwei?

What is the difference between the Jinyiwei and officials?

"I'll recruit, I'll recruit."

He took a deep breath and uttered a sentence with difficulty, "It's the eldest prince."

Ning Zhiwei was stunned. The eldest prince who fled overnight on the day of the palace coup?

"Tell me everything you know."

"The eldest prince has given me a secret order to prevent you from returning to the northwest."

Return to the northwest? Ning Zhiwei's face changed drastically, and he had a bad feeling in his mind.

"What if it can't be stopped?"

Zhu Fugui's face turned pale. "Then kill them all. Don't leave any alive. Make it perfect, as if they were killed by the remnants of the previous dynasty."

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "You bastard, none of these princes are good."

It seems that the eldest prince has set his sights on the northwest. No, she has to go there quickly. The silver-faced young general Ning Ran cannot withstand the prince's intimidation.

"Qiu Sheng, go and greet Mr. Zhou." At this moment, she urgently needed Mr. Zhou to take over so that she could get away.

"Yes."

In the next few days, people all over the city ran out of their homes excitedly and took their household registration certificates to collect food.

Sure enough, everyone who had a household registration certificate received it, and the people were as happy as if it were New Year’s Day.

I hope Princess Jingning can stay in Baiyun County forever and not go anywhere else.

She truly cares about the people, treats them well, and has great love in her heart. She is worthy of being their most beloved Princess Jingning.

When they were collecting food, they saw the clerk posting notices and gathered around curiously, "What's written on this notice?"

The clerk patiently explained, "These are the three decrees issued by the Princess of Jingning County. Everyone knows the first two. The third one states that the Princess of Jingning County wants to recruit a group of people with skills. They will pay two taels of silver per month. Anyone who is willing can sign up."

Money to be made? Everyone got excited. “What kind of skill do you mean?”

"Blacksmiths, carpenters, weavers, experienced farmers, textile workers, etc."

"Sir, I'm a blacksmith. Where can I sign up?"

"I am good at farming. I farm the best land within a hundred miles."

"I once learned silkworm rearing and cloth weaving in Jiangnan, so I know the textile industry best."

"The furniture I make is the most exquisite. I made the furniture for the governor's daughter's wedding. I want to apply."

Everyone reported enthusiastically that having a fixed salary of two taels of silver every month, protected from wind and rain, was the life many people dreamed of.

A cold voice sounded, "Do you trust Princess Jingning so much? What if she doesn't give you the money?"

"What a joke! Others would cheat, but Princess Jingning would never do that. She is a very good person."

"She is someone who truly cares about us, the people, unlike those corrupt officials."

"She has already distributed several tons of food to every household. Will she still care about this little money?"

The man said sourly, "It's only a bushel of corn, and the whole family eats it all."

The people spat at him and said, "What a big breath! Then give us a bushel."

"Ignore him, he's from Black Rock County next door, he's just jealous."

When the people in the nearby counties and towns heard about this, they all ran over out of curiosity and became jealous when they saw it.

Surprisingly, they really distributed food. Why didn't they have such a good county magistrate? Why didn't the Princess of Jingning go to them?

"Hahaha, it turns out I'm not eligible to receive rice. I'm jealous and envious."

That person was indeed very jealous, "Humph, I don't want it. We have Renxin Hall, do you have it?"

"This……"

"We have one too. The restaurant across from the county government office has been converted into a pharmacy, just waiting to open."

"What? I didn't know. That's great. We will also have a Renxin Hall. Princess Jingning is really a living Bodhisattva."

"The main thing about Jingning County is that you just don't have to leave."

"I hope the court forgets to assign a county magistrate to Baiyun County, so Princess Jingning can stay here forever."

Two carriages passed by them. Mr. Zhou heard everything from inside the carriage and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The lord has won the hearts of the people and laid a solid foundation.

Mr. Zhou entered the county government office and bowed deeply when he saw Ning Zhiwei, "Greetings, my lord."

Ning Zhiwei personally helped him up and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhou, big sister, you are finally here. Mr. Zhou, are you feeling better?"

Mr. Zhou looked pale, thinner, and not in good spirits. He looked back and said, "Much better, thanks to Miss Ning's careful care."

Ning Wenyin, who was two steps behind, blushed and said dryly, "It's my duty."

Ning Zhiwei sensitively felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was different, very subtle.

She looks at this, looks at that, huh?

Ning Wenyin cleared her throat, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Fifth sister, Mr. Zhou's body has not fully recovered yet, let's arrange for him to rest first."

"Someone, please ask Mr. Zhou to go to the east wing."

"I'll take my leave." When Mr. Zhou walked to the door, he looked back and saw Ning Wenyin lowered her head.

Ning Zhiwei saw it all and asked with a smile, "Big sister, what's going on between you and Mr. Zhou?"

Ning Wenyin blushed slightly, "Nothing... nothing..."
