I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 157 Incorporation

"Wow, it's quite lively!" A clear voice came from outside the door, and Shen Lun, who was about to take action, stopped.

The four of them turned their heads to look.

He is a handsome young man.

"Fight? Why don't you fight?" Yun Yue looked at them.

"What does this have to do with you, you little brat? Who are you to dare to tell us what to do?"

"Where is the prefect? ​​Why hasn't the prefect come yet?"

"Why? You miss the prefect so much? How about I take you to see him?"

Yunyue sat in the main seat. Bajiao brought a cup of tea over. Yunyue took it and took a sip. She couldn't help but smile helplessly. They really worried about her health! They even changed her tea to brown sugar water.

"Who are you? Is that the seat you can sit in?"

"Oh? I can't sit, then who should sit? Magistrate Lin? That's a pity, he can't sit."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Magistrate Lin can no longer sit here. He! Is! Dead!"

Except for County Magistrate Chang, the other three stood up in shock.

"Boy! Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"

"What? You don't believe it? The bodies of Magistrate Lin and his men are still lying outside. Someone, take them to see their beloved Magistrate Lin."

Si Yin walked over with a smirk on his face: "My lords, please."

"Who are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go." Si Yin turned the knife in his hand and looked at their necks.

A few people just felt a little cold on their necks and hurried out.

County Magistrate Shen looked at Yunyue meaningfully and followed her out.

After an incense stick of time, several people came back, but they were no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning, and their faces were filled with fear.

"Who the hell are you?"

"The new prefect of Chengnan Prefecture is Yue Yun."

"You!!! You thief! You killed the prefect just to become the prefect yourself? Give up now!! Without the imperial court's appointment, we won't recognize you! I won't listen to you!"

"Oh? Really? That's a pity! You must be Shen Lun, right? I've heard about your deeds. Si Yin, County Magistrate Shen doesn't want to be of any use to me, so drag him out and let him accompany Prefect Lin, so that Prefect Lin won't be left without anyone to serve him."

Shen Lun hid back in fear: "How dare you! How dare you kill an official appointed by the imperial court!"

"Oh, if I dare to kill the prefect, you little magistrates can just kill me!"

Before Shen Lun could say anything, Si Yin came up, knocked him out with a knife and dragged him out.

Seeing that Yunyue was not joking, the rest of the people sat down obediently.

"I wonder why you asked us to come here." County Magistrate Shen said with a sharp gaze.

"I have taken over Chengnan Prefecture, so naturally I need your help."

"You are guilty of a capital crime."

"I know."

"Why do you need our help?"

"Because you are familiar with the territory under your jurisdiction."

"But I don't want to be in the same boat with thieves."

Yun Yue chuckled, "I am a thief? But at least in the three days since I came to Chengnan Prefecture, I have not killed a single civilian, except for Prefect Lin and his men. Compared to me, Prefect Lin and his men are more like thieves. You are exploiting the people for him, I don't know how you have the nerve to criticize me."

County Magistrate Shen was speechless for a moment. Yes, those people who died were the result of their evil deeds.

"I know what you are worried about. You are worried that if you surrender to me, when the imperial court comes, you will bring trouble to your family. But I can tell you that the imperial court will not send anyone. Even if they do, I am not afraid."

"Why are you so sure? Just relying on these people from Qianhu Suo?"

"No, I still have a hundred thousand troops to support me."

"One hundred thousand troops...? You are Prince Rong's man."

Yun Yue smiled but said nothing. But the three of them knew that she was agreeing.

Shen Ce was actually a little excited. He knew His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's reputation was known to the entire Tianchen. He wanted to pass the imperial examination and become an official in part because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Following such a wise ruler, he would definitely achieve something in the future. Unfortunately...

"Now I'll give you some time to think about it. Do you want to follow me or choose..." Yun Yue didn't say anything, but everyone could see the murderous intent in her eyes. To be honest, if she wasn't really short of people, Yun Yue wanted to kill all three county magistrates except Shen Ce. They are just sitting there doing nothing and helping the tyrant. They deserve to be killed!

"I do, I do!"

"I...I would too!"

The two county magistrates spoke hastily, fearing that if they spoke too late they would end up like that man.

Shen Ce pondered for a moment: "I can help you, as long as you can do practical things for the people."

"nature."

"Then can our county's tax revenue be halved..." If it were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would probably agree.

"Free."

County Magistrate Shen looked up at Yunyue in disbelief.

"really?"

"Of course, not only that, Chengnan Prefecture will be exempt from taxes for three years to give the people a chance to recuperate!"

Magistrate Shen stood up in shock.

"That you……"

Yun Yue chuckled: "I don't want to get rich. Besides, even if we force the people to pay, how much can they pay? We will also force them to sell their children..."

"Master Yue, I, Shen Ce, thank you on behalf of the people of Yunmeng County."

Shen Ce bowed deeply to Yun Yue, who quickly helped him up.

The two county magistrates who were sitting also hurriedly stood up and imitated Shen Ce to bow to Yun Yue.

"Lord Shen cares about the people, and I admire him very much. I also heard that it is so cold today, and many people have frozen to death..."

"I will allocate 10,000 taels of silver to each of your counties. I hope you can pay close attention to them when you return. All this money will be used for the people."

"You..." Shen Ce's eyes were full of excitement.

The other two had a gleam in their eyes.

"Don't worry, this money belongs to Prefect Lin. He extorted it from the people. Just consider it as returning it to the people."

Chang Jun suddenly felt that rebellion was not a bad thing.

"As for you two..." Yun Yue took out a medicine bottle from her pocket and poured out two pills.

"If you want to leave standing today, take this medicine. Otherwise, I will be carried out sideways."

The two men didn't expect Yun Yue to do this. Looking at the blood-red pill in her hand, their calves were trembling.

"Master Yue, we are willing to follow you, why do we still need to..."

"Oh, because I don't believe you. If it weren't for the lack of people, to be honest, I wouldn't have kept you here at all."

"Why are there only two of us eating?"

Yun Yue's eyes were like arrows: "Why, do you want me to read to you all the good things you have done?"

"No, no, I'll eat it!" The two of them hurriedly took the pills from Yunyue and put them into their mouths.

"I…have finished eating."

Si Yin snorted, stepped forward and pinched the man's chin, forcing him to open his mouth in pain. Then he saw the pill hidden under his tongue.

“Eat them? Si Yin put them…” Yun Yue’s voice was like a devil from hell.

The two of them quickly swallowed the pill, opened their mouths and raised their tongues, wanting to cry but unable to: "I ate it, I really ate it."

"Come to me on the first day of every month to report the situation in your county, and come to get the antidote. If you fail, don't blame me if you get your intestines pierced."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The two nodded.

"Also, I will have someone secretly investigate. If I hear that you still refuse to change your ways and continue to oppress the people, then..."

"Don't dare! We must do practical things for the people!"

"Lingyao, give them some money."

Lingyao took out a few silver bills and handed them to them.

Then Yunyue explained their mission to them in detail. It was not until it was almost dark that Yunyue let them leave.

"Okay, the three of you can go back. By the way, I will let two of my men follow you. You can reserve a few rooms for them in the county government office. If you are undecided, ask them, and they will naturally report to me."

After Yunyue finished speaking, Banana Cherry each brought two guards and walked behind the two county magistrates: "Sir, let's go."

"How...how come there is still a woman?"

Yingtao glared at him and slapped the table with her bare hands, and the wooden tea table actually cracked. Then she quietly put her trembling hands behind her back. Woo woo woo woo it hurts, why is Li Wanhua so relaxed?

The two of them shut their mouths tightly. Who is this Yue Gongzi? None of the women around him are normal. They look weak and delicate, but each one is scarier than the other.

"Then I..." Shen Ce was about to speak.

"Sir Shen, I trust you. If you have anything to say, just have your men pass on the message to me."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Shen Ce put the silver in his arms and walked out of the county government office.

At this moment he still felt like he was dreaming. The few silver bills in his arms were so heavy that they pressed down his suspended heart.

Yunyue asked someone to call Song Li and Song Luo. Shen Lun was dead, but Dawan County could not be left without someone to manage it.

"Song Li, Song Luo. You two take fifty people to Dawan County to temporarily take over the position of county magistrate. According to our previous agreement, refund the taxes to the people first."

"Yes, I will never let my master down." Song Li accepted the order.

"Master, I'm going with my brother, you have to wait for me..."

Yun Yue laughed: "Wait a minute, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere. If you need anything, just send someone to deliver a letter to me."

Only then did Song Luo feel reluctant to leave with Song Li.
