   Chapter 408 Arrested, just around the corner

   Mrs. Li hurriedly said, “Your Highness Princess, can’t we discuss it again?”

   “No.” After Jun Ning coldly refused, she continued to count the things in her hand.

   Mrs. Li sighed and left.

Jing Shu, who was on the side, saw that Mrs. Li was gone, and hurriedly walked to Jun Ning’s side, and said, “Little aunt, are you sure you want to let her go? You really don’t want to restore it? If she leaves, the account book will be a problem. It didn’t even fall.”

   “No harm.”

  Jing Shu felt even more anxious when she saw that Jun Ning had no response.

   She frowned and said, “Little aunt, don’t take it seriously, this matter can still be discussed again?”

  Jun Ning raised her head and glanced at Jingshu. Seeing that Jingshu looked flustered, she advised: “Don’t worry.”

  Jingshu said: “How can I not be in a hurry? If you want to repair the dam, you must understand the financial situation of Yuyang County. To understand the financial situation, you need to have an account book. The account book is the key to repairing the dam on our trip.”

“I believe your little aunt, within three days, Mrs. Li will come with the account book.” Jun Ning looked confident, “But before that, we must first keep our temper, otherwise, we will lose the initiative. , fell into a passive situation, and was pinched by others.”

   Now, as long as they don’t appear anxious, the only ones who are anxious are Magistrate Li and Mrs. Li.

   Because they were in a hurry to go home and did not want to continue kneeling there.

   And as soon as they were in a hurry, Jun Ning had chips in his hand.

   “Oh…” Jing Shu nodded in understanding.

  …

  This side of the dam.

  The sun in summer is not an ordinary sunbathing. Especially in the one or two hours at noon, Magistrate Li was kneeling on the river dam, and there was no shelter around the river dam.

   Especially the back part, he felt like it was going to explode.

   It’s too hot and tired.

   He put his hands on the ground to relieve his fatigue.

   Bean-sized beads of sweat fell down his tanned cheeks and landed on his neck. It was a little itchy. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and glanced at Chao Jiu, who was guarding next to him.

  Chaojiu was born in Jinwuwei, exposed to the sun, and training was commonplace for him. Now he has only been in the sun for a few days, except for a little tan, and there is no other impact.

   He was still standing behind Magistrate Li in high spirits, looking at Magistrate Li.

   In contrast, Magistrate Li suffered some hardships when he was a young student. After becoming an official, he has been pampered and has never suffered such a crime for several years.

   Now he is kneeling here, and has been in the sun for several days, eating, drinking and lhasa in this small place, and being looked at and disgraced.

   No matter in front or behind, he is a person with good face.

   But now, he doesn’t even bother to pick up the face that has landed, nor is he in the mood to pick it up. Because he knelt here day and night, feeling like he was going to be killed.

   He couldn’t stand it any longer.

   And kneeling for too long, his legs have completely lost consciousness, and he is numb every day.

   If he knelt down like this again, as expected, his legs would be destroyed first.

  My legs are about to be ruined, how much is my face worth?

  When Mrs. Li came over with the meal, she saw Magistrate Li’s tired eyes staring at his legs, with pain, sadness, and despair in their eyes…

   She has been married to Magistrate Li for many years and has never seen Magistrate Li like this.

“Master…” Mrs. Li stepped forward and knelt down beside Magistrate Li, looked at Magistrate Li distressedly, and said, “Let’s not hold on, let’s hand over the account books to compromise? It’s a big deal, this official, we are not right …”

   Mrs. Li thought that magistrate Li had not handed over the account books because she was afraid of losing the black gauze hat on her head.

   “Ma’am, things are not as simple as you said.”

   If you hand over the account book, it is not a question of whether you are an official or not, but a problem that will soon lose your head.

   Magistrate Lee…I don’t want to lose my head.

  How does Mrs. Li know the seriousness of the matter? She was still thinking on the side, urging Magistrate Li to hand over what Jun Ning wanted.

   County magistrate Li would shake his head and respond a few words at first, but then he didn’t want to say a word at all.

   Mrs. Li didn’t understand the situation, he said everything in vain. And Chao Jiu was on the side again, and he couldn’t explain some secrets to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li cried and talked for a long time. After seeing the magistrate Li finished eating, she took the food box and left. Before leaving, she looked back at the embarrassed and lifeless magistrate Li. She was sad, in her heart. Suddenly a decision was made.

   County magistrate Li refused to take out the account book, so she had to spend it here. She couldn’t bear it any longer.

  Because the exhaustion has left a dead end, there is no other way.

  To live, she must do something for Magistrate Li.

  She went to help Magistrate Li find the account book.

   As for the things on the account book that magistrate Li avoided, she would find someone to do it behind the scenes, and naturally there would be no problem.

   Mrs. Li did what she said. Three days later, she brought a stack of account books that had been manipulated behind the scenes to Jun Ning. Jun Ning took the account books and briefly looked at them.

   It’s not that she doesn’t understand the places that have been manipulated in the dark, she just pretends not to see it.

   After simply flipping through the ledger, she put the things on the table, smiled and said to Mrs. Li, “Since the ledger has arrived, Mrs. Li will go to the river dam to bring the magistrate Li home!”

After a pause, she added: “It is said that the sun is too strong today, and Magistrate Li couldn’t stand it and passed out. After Mrs. Li received the person, she remembered to greet Princess Ben on behalf of the Magistrate. Nothing will happen.”

   “What?” Mrs. Li was frightened, “My master passed out?”

  Jing Shu said: “Yes, no one told you? My little aunt and I have already received the news.”

   Little aunt?

   Mrs. Li was keenly aware of Jingshu’s address to Jun Ning. Before, she had guessed that Jingshu and Jun Ning were so close. What is the relationship between the two, now she understands.

   But she didn’t care about getting to the bottom of it, her master was important.

   She hurriedly took people to the dam to save them.

  …

   Jun Ning continued to look at the account book in her hand. She marked all the problems, and then asked him to report back to Chao Jiu, who had fainted, to check.

  Check the people who help Mrs. Li with the accounting books these days. Once checked, the person was immediately arrested and asked to restore the account books.

   As long as the account books are restored, Li county magistrate will be arrested, and it is just around the corner.

   “Chaojiu, are you okay?”

   nodded towards Jiu, “No problem.”

   “How long does it take to find someone?” Jun Ning asked.

If    takes too long, she can summon the people from Qianji Pavilion to help investigate.

   When she went out this time, she had brought a few spies from Qianji Pavilion who were good at scouting news, which could come in handy.
