Chapter 599 The Little Mouse Knows the Secret
"What? The princess and the prince?!" Mr. Ma's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he heard.
The people around him, including Shopkeeper Wen and Wen Xiaoman, were stunned.
The Pingcheng guards bowed their heads and showed great respect to Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning.
While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he flattered Mo Lingwei and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you left too fast. I almost missed you. Fortunately, you arrived in time. Your Highness, the Princess, was not wronged, right?"
Seeing his uncle's attitude, Mr. Ma finally knew it was not a lie.
He actually got into trouble with the princess!
In the entire Cangyun Kingdom, besides Princess Funing, what other princess can there be?
Mr. Ma's knees were weak and he knelt down with a plop. The county government officer over there also knelt down next to him in a pissed off state. The two of them were trembling with fear.
Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and spoke sternly: "If he hadn't come quickly, this dog officer would have beaten people with sticks without any discrimination. Do you want to beat him into submission without finding out what happened?"
Shen Ningning looked at the county government just now and said coldly: "Just now, your ability to refer to a deer as a horse really opened my eyes. If you insist on describing my delicate white noodles as old noodles from Master Ma's family, I just close my eyes." Nonsense, I don’t want to ask you anymore, you can’t give me justice anyway!”
After saying that, the girl stepped forward, holding a flour bag in each hand, and walked to the door of the Yamen to show it to the onlookers.
"Look, is this the same bag of flour?"
The common people stretched their necks and took a clear look.
"Absolutely not!"
"The bag of flour from Shopkeeper Wen's house is more delicate."
"This kind of fine flour is much more expensive than the ones Mr. Ma keeps at home. How could it be stolen from him?"
The big guy's words made the county government officials and Mr. Ma who were kneeling on the ground feel numb with fear.
The ones who were most afraid were the garrison officers of Pingcheng.
Seeing that Mo Lingwei's face was dark and frightening, he immediately rushed to Master Ma and kicked him down again.
"What a bastard. The matter has not been investigated clearly. How dare you arrest people casually? And you are also collaborating with the county government to cause mischief! I have always warned you, be low-key and careful when acting outside, and do not bully others!"
Mo Ling gave him a dangerous look: "Okay, you don't have to be in a hurry to clear up your relationship. He can be so arrogant and domineering that even the county officials protect him, and he usually relies on you as his uncle. , are you used to being wild in Pingcheng?"
The defense officer was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, I dare not protect him. I am usually busy with affairs, and the number of times I meet him is only a handful in a month. If I had known that he was such a bastard, there would be no need for His Highness and the princess to take action. I would have He was thrown into prison and beaten severely."
After saying that, he angrily scolded Master Ma: "Why don't you apologize to Her Highness the Princess!"
Master Ma looked gloomy. He knelt down in front of Shen Ningning and slapped himself twice with his bow: "Your Highness, please forgive me! I have a blind eye and am making trouble in front of you. I know I was wrong!"
Shen Ningning said nothing, with a cold and charming face.
Mo Lingwei knew her best, so he sneered on her behalf: "It is a capital crime for you to offend the princess, but you are fundamentally wrong. You are slandering Shopkeeper Wen for stealing."
Master Ma understood and quickly knelt down in front of Shopkeeper Wen. He kowtowed while crying, grabbing Shopkeeper Wen's sleeves with both hands.
"Shopkeeper Wen, we have known each other for many years. You don't keep arguing with me because of this trivial matter, right? Besides, it was the waiter at your inn who told me that you stole my things, so it's not that I wronged you. Yes, please forgive me this time and help me beg for mercy in front of Her Royal Highness!"
Shopkeeper Wen was soft-hearted. Hearing his constant pleading, he hesitated: "This..."
Wen Xiaoman took two steps forward and pulled her father's sleeve out of Master Ma's hand.
"No! This matter cannot be ended so hastily. The reason why they admitted their mistake was because they found out that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince were here. If their Highnesses leave, they will be the same as before. Dad, you must teach him a lesson!"
Mr. Ma has bullied Shopkeeper Wen for so long, so he should give him some color.
Shen Ningning nodded secretly to Wen Xiaoman, she thought so too.
The county government immediately distanced itself from the relationship.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the Princess, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the official. When shopkeeper Wen was first arrested, the official also interrogated him and asked him to explain the origin of so much food. He said it was a friend named Miss Shen. It was delivered, but there was so much rice, flour and food, there were chickens, ducks and fish in the yard, and loads of bacon and bacon, it was simply impossible to buy it all and deliver it overnight.”
"The official then suspected that he was lying. He wanted to inquire carefully, but he didn't expect that what he said was true."
Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips and glanced at Mo Lingwei with a guilty look.
Of course she got these things from Wonderland, but to explain it to others, she could only find a reasonable excuse.
But the county government was right to suspect that with this amount of grain and neatly arranged firewood, it was equivalent to buying up half of Pingcheng's rice noodles.
It can only be delivered overnight from other cities and counties, but this is not an easy task.
Shen Ningning rolled up a corner of her sleeves with her hands, feeling a little unnatural.
Mo Lingwei noticed her small movements, calmly reached out and wrapped her fingertips in his palm.
He looked at the county office and said in a steady voice: "When she settled here, she wrote to me, saying that there was an innkeeper who helped her a lot, but was bullied, so she asked me to send some food as a thank you, so it was given by me, what else do you have to doubt now?"
The county office was speechless and waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not."
If it was sent by the prince, it would make sense.
This is the prince, the crown prince of Cangyun Country, and his words are more effective than a hundred words from others.
What's more, so much food was sent to Wen's home overnight.
Wen and others on the side finally understood. No wonder Miss Shen hesitated when talking about the origin of these grains. It turned out that she didn't want to reveal that it was given by the prince.
In full view of the public, Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei cleared Wen's name together.
Mr. Ma admitted his mistake to Wen and compensated him, and was fined 20 sticks for slander and other crimes, while the county office was demoted.
When the matter was originally over, Shen Ningning saw a little mouse peeking out from the corner.
Seeing Shen Ningning's gaze turned over, the little mouse turned around three times in a hurry, and even stood up, waving its little paws back and forth, as if it had something to say.
Shen Ningning pursed her lips: "Wait and decide."
Could it be that the little mice knew something hidden?
She walked over and squatted down. Everyone could only see Princess Funing talking to the corner, and they immediately admired her.
According to legend, Princess Funing can communicate with heaven and earth and speak the language of all beasts. Now it seems that it is true.
