Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 212 It’s Not Easy to Be a Parent Official

They kept calling her "Princess" one after another, and Jiang Yueyang felt her head buzzing.

What’s even more terrifying is that before the trial of the big rooster began, the sound of drums was heard outside.

After a while, Jiang Yueyang saw a middle-aged man leading a sheep in.

The sheep bleated when it came in. The middle-aged man wanted to sue a young woman for secretly milking his ewe's milk.

Immediately afterwards, a child of about eleven or twelve years old ran in and said that his piglet was missing, and asked Jiang Yueyang to help him find the pig.

All of a sudden, pigs, dogs, chickens and sheep were all there.

"Princess, she has to compensate me with the big rooster."

"Princess, if you can't find the piglet, my mother will cry herself to death."

"Princess, this is my family's food."

"Princess, my goat milk."

"The county master..."

Jiang Yueyang looked at the messy scene and couldn't help but scream in her heart!

[Ah...what on earth am I thinking that has me coming here?]

The system suppressed a laugh, [Host, do you think now... that attending court every day is actually quite good?]

[Not good! But it's a little better than being the Luoyang County Magistrate!]

[It's not easy to be a parent official.]

Hearing the system's words, Jiang Yueyang opened his mouth, took a deep breath, slammed the gavel, and shouted loudly: "Silence!"

Everyone was frightened by the sudden sound and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

"Tell me one by one." Jiang Yueyang looked at one of the women who came in first, "What happened to your big cock?"

As time passed, Jiang Yueyang's head swelled up little by little.

The calls of "Princess" danced wildly in her head like a naughty child who refused to listen.

Until the sun sets and the afterglow of the sunset shines in.

Jiang Yueyang finally finished handling today's case and collapsed in his chair.

The old man who had not yet left the hall said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Princess, for taking the trouble to help us deal with these trivial matters. Thank you very much."

Jiang Yueyang waved his hand weakly, "Don't be polite, old man. These are what a county magistrate should do. Even if I am the acting county magistrate, I should do the same."

The old man twitched his lips, but did not respond to Jiang Yueyang's words, and only said: "In the past, County Magistrate Zhu thought it was troublesome and never took care of these matters.

Today, we heard that the princess helped resolve the dispute between Chunhua and Heidan, the two dogs, so we came to ask the princess to help us seek justice."

When Jiang Yueyang heard the old man mention Chunhua and Heidan, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

She thought, perhaps no officials in the entire Daxia had ever tried such an outrageous case?

Especially Chen's words "A dog's innocence is also innocence". She did it twice and never thought that she would hear such a sentence one day, and it came from the mouth of an ancient person!

"Remember, the primary job of a government official is to solve problems for the people. If they don't do that, they're derelict in their duty! You can..."

Jiang Yueyang paused at this point. Letting the people file a complaint themselves would definitely not work, but if...

"The county lord."

The old man suddenly called Jiang Yueyang, interrupting her thoughts.

"Is there anything else, old man?" Jiang Yueyang asked.

"Will the princess leave soon?"

Jiang Yueyang nodded and said, "I came to Luoyang to do some business and will leave after I'm done."

"I wonder if the princess knows what kind of person the new county magistrate is?"

"The new county magistrate has not yet been appointed. In the near future, Governor Yan will handle Luoyang affairs."

The old man nodded with a hint of worry, "Then I will not disturb the princess anymore."

Jiang Yueyang knew what he was worried about. He was simply afraid that the new county magistrate would be like County Magistrate Zhu and not a good official.

"If the new county magistrate has not been decided by the time I return to the capital, I will recommend to Your Majesty a fair and honest official to serve as the Luoyang County magistrate.

"Really?" the old man asked with great joy.

"But I can't guarantee that His Majesty will appoint the person I recommend. Don't have too high expectations, as you'll be easily disappointed."

"I know." The old man cried with joy, "But I still want to thank you, Princess, for giving us hope."

After the old man left, Jiang Yueyang waved his hand and asked the official from the governor's office who was temporarily serving as a yamen runner to withdraw.

Those yamen runners who had committed crimes together with County Magistrate Zhu were executed by Governor Yan yesterday.

Thinking back on today's events, Jiang Yueyang asked the system uncertainly, "Xiaogua, what do you think about my suggestion that His Majesty place a report box like a mailbox in every state and county?"

[What does the host want to do? 】

I want to allow citizens who have nowhere to seek redress to submit complaints and report officials through the reporting box.

The system was silent for a moment. [Host, this idea isn't easy to implement. First of all, whether your report box can survive is a big problem.]

So I have to think carefully and try to prevent all possible bad situations.

【Then come on, host. 】

Jiang Yueyang stood up and walked out, "However, before that, I have to complete the task that His Majesty has assigned to me."

Before it got dark, she went back to the inn and called Ye Wuhen to go to her villa together.

It was a three-story house, with a servant guarding it.

Ye Wuhen brought Jiang Yueyang to the door of the warehouse in the other courtyard with familiarity, "Everything you want is inside."

"Qingzhi, Qingming, you stay outside."

After saying that, Jiang Yueyang and Ye Wuhen walked into the warehouse together and closed the door.

There were about twenty large boxes in the huge warehouse. Ye Wuhen opened one of the boxes, revealing the sack inside.

In a few minutes, forty sacks were filled with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

As for those boxes, Jiang Yueyang planned to use them to pack fruits.

It’s just that fruits are generally easy to spoil, so she wanted to wait until she was almost back in the capital before putting the fruits in. It was just a matter of thought anyway.

"Ye Wuhen, I forgot to tell you before, I still need people and cars to escort these things back to Beijing."

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

Then, Jiang Yueyang stretched out his hand and swept it forward, and a cardboard box appeared on the ground.

"Inside are the seeds of various peppers."

Ye Wuhen looked at the square box, which was about 50cm high, and asked in surprise, "So many?"

"Not expensive."

"Then I won't be polite with you." Ye Wuhen gestured to the door and asked, "Let them in?"

"Ah."

Ye Wuhen immediately said to the outside: "Canglang, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Canglang pushed open the door and walked in, with Qingming and Qingzhi one step behind him.

"Take this box away."

Upon hearing this, Canglang picked up the cardboard box without saying a word.

Even though he knew that the cardboard box had not been here before, he did not raise any questions.

Jiang Yueyang's magical powers... he had already seen them a long time ago.
