Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 203 Shameless

The nobleman looked at Dongsheng beside them and said, "Brother Dongsheng, long time no see. How is Princess Jingning?"

Dongsheng cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Duan San, my master is fine."

The county magistrates looked at each other in confusion. Did they know each other?

"Mr. Duan San, please save us."

He is the grandson of Prime Minister Duan. The Duan family supported the new emperor to ascend the throne. Now he is powerful in the court and everyone respects him.

Third Master Duan glanced at them calmly, "Who are they?"

Dongsheng said with some disdain, "The magistrate of Luocheng County and the magistrate of Gancheng County abandoned the people when the city fell..."

The Luocheng County Magistrate's face flushed red, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or angry. "I broke through the siege to seek help, not to abandon the city. The court didn't blame me. Letting me continue to serve as an official means that I am innocent. On the contrary, I have made contributions. Is Ning Zhiwei more powerful than the court?"

This person did it on purpose, so Dongsheng was not polite and swung the whip. The magistrate of Luocheng County couldn't believe it. This Ning family was too arrogant.

"Ah, are you still being unreasonable? Third Young Master Duan, did you see that? Ning Zhiwei is so unreasonable..."

Unexpectedly, Third Master Duan turned cold and shouted, "How dare you! How dare you call the Princess of Jingning County by her name?"

Even his grandfather didn't dare to address Princess Jingning by her name. These local county magistrates were ignorant and fearless.

Is this because he is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth? Or is he deliberately trying to stir up trouble? Or is he completely ignorant of Ning Zhiwei's terrifying abilities?

The county magistrate was dumbfounded. How could you, a son of the prime minister, not be so tough?

"Do you know what she has done? A person without official position has summoned us to come to her. This is beyond the rules..."

A small stone hit him in the face, "Bang."

The county magistrate's face was swollen and painful. "Who? Who is it? Stand up for me."

After being hit twice more, he was so angry that he jumped up and down. What kind of rat dared to hide in the dark and throw stones?

Young Master Duan slipped away immediately and refused to get involved in this mess. The Princess of Jingning County was not someone to be trifled with.

A gentle voice sounded in the carriage, "Third brother, should we go to see the Princess of Jingning first? Or should we go to see Madam Ning first?"

The two gates, one in the south and one in the north, represent different meanings.

Third Master Duan glanced at his sickly sister and sighed silently. Her illness delayed the trip. "Let's go pay our respects to the Princess of Jingning first. She is the ruler of the Northwest."

His sister had been outstanding since childhood and had high aspirations. The family had high hopes for her and intended to marry her to the prince, but by mistake she was married to the seventh young master of the Ning family.

Duan Xinyu's expression was not good. "I didn't expect that she had such courage. She actually became the top leader of the military and civil affairs, bypassing Ning Qishao and taking control of all the power in her own hands."

She also thought that even if Ning Qishao was seriously injured, everyone would still respect him as the leader, even if he was just a mascot. Ning Zhiwei, who had received great kindness from the Ning family, would definitely assist him wholeheartedly.

The result was beyond her expectations.

Third Master Duan was not surprised. "Ning Zhiwei is so strong that she won't be willing to be defeated. I just don't know if she, a woman, can hold on to this position."

Sitting on it and sitting firmly are two different things.

Duan Xinyu fell ill on the way and didn't look very good. She put on full makeup to cover up her sickness. "So, what should we do now?"

"Let's take a look at the situation first." Young Master Duan San wanted to meet Young Master Ning Qi and make a personal assessment.

Duan Xinyu hesitated for a moment, "Third brother, am I really not as good as Ning Zhiwei?"

In the impression of Mr. Duan San, she has always been a confident and proud girl. It was rare to see her so depressed, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. "Of course not, you are gentler than her, more considerate than her, more talented than her, and more beautiful than her."

Why does the last sentence sound a bit guilty?

"I think so."

The group first went to the general's office and entered smoothly.

Duan Xinyu bowed and said, "Greetings to the Princess of Jingning County."

Ning Zhiwei helped her up personally. "We are all family. Is Miss Duan feeling better? Did you have a smooth journey?"

Before one wave of troubles subsides, another wave comes. Once the Duan family comes, things will be even more lively. Brother Seven will probably be in trouble.

However, the Ning family's internal affairs were not her responsibility, so she never interfered and let them solve them themselves.

If she takes care of everything, she will be exhausted.

Duan Xinyu's gentle and sweet face was full of smiles. "Much better. Thank you for your concern. The journey was smooth."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the two young masters of the Duan family and exchanged a few words. Duan Xinyu took the opportunity to observe the environment. The thick public belongings on the desk were piled up like a small mountain. In such a solemn place, it was not surprising that Ning Zhiwei was sitting here, as if she was born to sit here.

She had changed a little, and her majesty was even greater.

Young Master Duan bowed his hands and said, "Please allow us brothers and sisters to leave. We still have to go and pay our respects to the old lady."

"Go."

Ning Zhiwei personally sent the people to the door, then turned around and walked back. These three people could not be wasted, so he had to find something for them to do.

Once you enter Yuguan Gate, no matter what your surname is, you have to listen to her.

Dongsheng came over and said, "Master, the county magistrates have arrived and are waiting in the flower hall."

"Let them wait." Ning Zhiwei waved his hand and went back to the room to handle official business.

The county magistrates were impatient at first, then gradually became annoyed and refused to serve them tea. What kind of way is this to treat street guests?

They called the servants and asked, "Why hasn't the Princess of Jingning summoned us yet?"

"She is busy with many things." The servant's attitude was even more rude than theirs, "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Several people were so angry that their mouths were crooked. How could they speak like that? A servant dared to be so presumptuous, there must be someone who instructed him to do so.

However, this was someone else's territory and they could do nothing. It was only when they became impatient that they heard the summons.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a stunning girl in black sitting behind a desk, quickly reviewing documents with a solemn and serious look on her face.

Hearing the noise, she raised her head and a pair of clear black and white eyes looked over.

Several people only felt a sense of pressure coming, and they were a little panicked. They bowed down involuntarily, "Greetings to the Princess of Jingning County."

Ning Zhiwei glanced at them calmly and said, "I called you here to listen to the people's livelihood and economic situation in the areas under your jurisdiction." She gave them one last chance.

She nodded directly, "Locheng County Magistrate, you go first."

The magistrate of Luocheng rolled his eyes and said, "Our Luocheng is not doing well. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continue. The people are hungry and cold. Please, Princess Jingning, allocate 100,000 dan of grain. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people for your great kindness."

Other county magistrates followed suit, "We in Licheng are in trouble too. The people are starving to death. Princess Jingning, please give us some silver. We don't ask for much, just 100,000 taels of silver."

"We can't do that either. Princess Jingning, please show some favor to Gancheng. We want both money and food."

……

Ning Zhiwei looked at these shameless men and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that they were sharpening their knives to attack pigs and sheep.

For some reason, several county magistrates shuddered at the same time, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast.
