Chapter 143 Taking Over as County Magistrate
Ni Naina came to the gate of the county government office. Today, the gate of the county government office was particularly lively because Ni Naina had told the people when she was secretly investigating a few days ago that they should come to the gate of the county government office on August 5th and she would seek justice for them.
She went up and started beating the drum. The county government's big drum seemed to have never been sounded before, and this sound attracted the nearby people. The people who had been waiting for a long time knew at a glance that it was the girl who had talked to them that day. They were afraid that she would cause trouble and stepped forward to dissuade her.
But now Ni Nainai ignored everyone and just beat the drum. The yamen runners sleeping inside were awakened by the drum sound, and ran out wiping the saliva from the corners of their mouths, shouting:
"Who is this? You are so brave. You don't want to live anymore, right?"
Ni Nainai put down his drum sticks, turned around and looked at the yamen runner who ran out, and directly measured his identity and said;
"This country's teacher wants to seek justice for the people of Linyang County."
"You?" The bailiff looked Ni Naina up and down. It was said that the legendary national teacher would hold a cat and a scepter in his hands, but the woman in front of him had nothing. It was probably a lie.
"What? Are you doubting the identity of the national teacher?" At this time, Shu walked forward and bowed respectfully to Ni Naina.
“Hahahaha…” Na’e Yamen runner burst into laughter and pointed at Ni Nainai and Ni Yushu and said, “You two are not fools, right? Get out of here! Get out of here!”
Ni Nainai's eyes turned cold, and a strong aura emanated from her. The yamen runners suddenly felt an invisible pressure, and their laughter stopped abruptly.
"Since our national teacher is here today, he must seek justice for the people." Ni Naina said in a cold voice.
"You...are you really the imperial teacher?" asked the leading bailiff with a trembling voice.
"Guaranteed genuine." Shu sneered.
"I am a villain who failed to recognize a great man. Please forgive me, Imperial Master." The bailiffs knelt down and kowtowed because the aura of this woman was so terrifying.
Not long after, the county magistrate hurried over. When he saw Ni Naina, he immediately bowed respectfully and said:
"Chen Lang from Xiaguan meets the Imperial Master."
The yamen runners knelt down quickly. Lord Chen had met Ni Naina once in the palace, so he knew she was the imperial teacher at first sight.
Ni Nainai didn't call him to get up, but walked in directly, and Shu followed him in. The drill had to be performed in full, and Lord Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up and hurriedly followed;
This Imperial Master came without even saying hello, could it be that she discovered something wrong...
Ni Nai Nai sat in the hall, looking at Lord Chen who was lowering his head in the hall, and looking at the people at the door, because Ni Nai Nai had told them during her secret investigation that she would go to the county government on August 5th and she would definitely seek justice for them.
"Sir Chen, our master has received a report that you have been corrupt, accepted bribes, and oppressed the people. Is this true?" Ni Naina asked straight to the point.
The county magistrate's face changed and he quickly denied it:
"I have never done such a thing. Someone must have wronged me. I hope the Imperial Master can investigate this matter."
"Unfair? Then why are the taxes in this county getting higher every year, while the lives of the people are getting more and more difficult? You have petitioned His Majesty the King to allocate funds to help the people."
"This... this may be due to natural disasters or man-made disasters. I can't do anything about it." More beads of sweat appeared on Lord Chen's forehead.
"Nonsense! It's obvious that you have enriched yourself and put the people's hard-earned money into your own pocket!" Ni Nainai raised his voice and said with a gavel.
"Didn't you prepare the account books? Bring them up." Ni Naina said as she looked at the common people in the hall. The common people were still not calm when they learned that the person who conducted the secret investigation that day was actually the imperial teacher.
Lord Chen's expression became even uglier, he knew that the matter had been exposed.
The account book was quickly delivered to Ni Nainai, who threw it directly in front of Mr. Chen.
"Master Chen, do you have anything else to say?"
Lord Chen collapsed to the ground, begging for mercy:
"Master, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I am willing to return all the stolen money. Please be lenient with me."
"Immediately arrange for your people to move all the stolen money to our national master." Ni Naina said.
"Ah?" Lord Chen looked up, his face somewhat embarrassed, but he finally nodded reluctantly.
Soon, several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were placed in the hall. When Ni Naina looked at these gold, silver and jewelry, she knew that Prime Minister Huang must have much more than here.
But she didn't mention a word about Prime Minister Huang, and pretended that she didn't know the mastermind behind the scenes, and first captured this little guy...
"From now on, Master Chen will be dismissed from all his official positions. A new county magistrate will arrive in five days. For the time being, all matters in the county government will be handled by this national teacher himself."
Before Ni Nainai finished speaking, Lord Chen collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. The common people cheered, "Long live the Imperial Master..."
This scene is like Ni Nai Nai's rebellion, and it is deeply popular among the people...
