Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 204: Drag and Beat

The magistrate of Wucheng County urged impatiently, "County Lord, when can we get the money and food? We can't wait even a moment, the people are almost starving to death..."

A teacup came flying over and hit the Wucheng County Master in the face. "Bang."

The steaming hot tea splashed all over his face, burning him so much that he screamed.

The magistrate of Luocheng County saw this and loudly accused him, "County Lady, how can you be so presumptuous? We are not your servants, but officials of the imperial court. You beat us and scold us as you please. Where do you put the imperial court?"

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "You are a bunch of useless people, parasites, who mistreat the people, plunder the people's blood, embezzle and pervert the law, and suck the blood of the people. You are shameless scum, how dare you ask me for money and food?"

Luo Cheng felt aggrieved and complained loudly, "We didn't do anything. It's obviously you who don't want to give us money and food."

A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Only by joining forces to suppress her can they live a good life in the future. Otherwise, they can only live by her will.

Between people, either the west wind prevails over the east wind, or the east wind prevails over the west wind; one side always has the upper hand.

The guards standing behind Ning Zhiwei all widened their eyes. How brave! How dare he talk to her like that? He must be courting his life.

The magistrate of Gancheng County immediately chimed in, "Women, you have long hair but little knowledge, what do you know? You only know how to believe what you hear, and you only know how to listen to rumors."

The magistrate of Licheng County rolled his eyes and said, "County Lady, if you don't want to give us money or food, just give us the command of the garrison troops. The city is too chaotic and we are really worried."

The eyes of the magistrate of Haiji City flickered slightly. "Yes, that's right. The last time the county was captured, it was because your Ning family army was not doing well in the battle. The local garrison did not obey the mobilization and acted on its own. That caused the tragedy. The separation of military and political power will cause endless troubles."

He paused, his expression a little strange, "County Lord, do you understand what I mean?"

This is treating her as an ignorant girl.

These people work together, some play the good cop, some play the bad cop, some intimidate, some suppress, some coax, and some test. It's really a good show.

Ning Zhiwei saw it all and smiled, "I understand. You want to seize power. You have your eyes on the Ning Family Army's military power."

Several people were stunned and looked at each other. She was not as naive as they thought.

The magistrate of Luocheng County waved his hands desperately, "No, no, that's not what I meant. I took this desperate measure for the sake of better management and the safety of the people. This is only temporary. When peace is restored, I will return the military power. Believe me, every word I say comes from my heart."

Ning Zhiwei was so angry that he laughed, "Really?"

She finally understood what it meant to call a horse a zebra and what it meant to tell lies with one's eyes closed.

How much do they despise women to say such ridiculous things?

"of course it's true."

Ning Zhiwei looked at them deeply and wanted to give them a chance, but unfortunately, they didn't seize it.

"Then prove it to me."

The Luocheng County Magistrate was shocked. She actually believed it? So easy to deceive? "How do you prove it?"

Ning Zhiwei waved her hand and said, "Drag him out and beat him. As long as you can survive thirty beatings, I will believe in you."

At her command, the guards immediately rushed forward, dragged the Luocheng County Magistrate out, and pressed him to the ground.

The magistrate of Luocheng County was stunned. "Stop it. I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Only the emperor has the right to punish me."

Ning Zhiwei walked out, stood on the steps and looked at the bastard, saying with a smile, "This is not a punishment, you took the initiative to bring it up, just to gain my trust."

Isn't it just telling lies with your eyes closed? She can do that too.

"beat."

As the board hit him, the Luocheng County Magistrate let out a shrill scream, Ahhhh, she actually did it!

The county magistrates were stunned. They had never seen a woman who was so good at confusing right and wrong.

Seeing their colleagues screaming in pain after being beaten, everyone finally got scared and thought that no one would be killed.

The Luocheng County Lady was hit several times and was in so much pain that she almost died. "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Jingning County Lady, please let me go."

"How many times?"

The guard replied, "Only five."

"continue."

The Luocheng County Lord could no longer hold back her temper. "Jingning County Lord, you are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with a small person like me. I was wrong."

Ning Zhiwei turned a deaf ear and had a cold expression, as if he was going to kill him directly.

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, feeling extremely panicked. This was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

The magistrate of Wucheng County pleaded cautiously, "Princess Jingning, please let him go. He was just impulsive and had no ill intentions..."

Ning Zhiwei raised an eyebrow, "What? You want to prove it too? Fine, I'll help you. Drag him down and beat him up."

Wucheng County Lady was stunned. "I didn't, I didn't, I didn't say that."

But he was still dragged over and beaten with a stick.

This time, the magistrate of Luocheng County had company. The screams of the two of them resounded throughout the venue, making everyone tremble with fear.

Ning Zhiwei is different from ordinary women. She is decisive and ruthless and never tolerates anything.

"what about you?"

The county magistrates looked at her with fear and trepidation, "I didn't say anything."

Ning Zhiwei said coldly, "Licheng County Magistrate, you just said you wanted 100,000 taels of silver."

The magistrate of Licheng County felt his scalp tingling and shook his head desperately, "I don't want it. The people of Licheng live and work in peace and contentment, and they are doing well."

He is nothing but a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Ning Zhiwei's face darkened and he flew into a rage, "What? Were you lying to me? You're so brave! Drag him away and beat him up."

She said she would turn against him, and the Licheng County Magistrate was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, "No, no, I mean, I want to donate 100,000 taels of silver to you to support the military."

He regretted that he should not have joined hands with other county magistrates to suppress her. He thought that a strong dragon would not suppress a local snake, but who knew that this girl from the Ning family was the real ruthless person.

The head coach of the Ning family army turned out to be such a person.

Alas, their lives will be difficult from now on.

Ning Zhiwei's expression eased a little, "It was you who insisted on donating, right?"

The Licheng County Magistrate immediately fell to his knees and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am kneeling on the ground begging you to accept it."

The county ladies stared at him with disdain. This was a disgrace to everyone!

"Okay, bring it."

The Licheng County Magistrate searched his body and found a handful of silver notes. "I only have five thousand taels of silver notes on me. I will make up for it next time."

Ning Zhiwei looked over coldly, "Hmm?"

The Lady of Licheng County shuddered, "I'll write the IOU right away."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the others, "What about you? How much do you want to donate?"

The Jicheng County Magistrate said tremblingly, "County Master, you can't force us to donate money..."

"No?" Ning Zhiwei sneered, "When you forcibly levy heavy taxes, the people don't dare to say that."

“You…” The Jicheng County Magistrate’s face turned as pale as paper.

"Drag him away and beat him."

The Jicheng County Magistrate immediately knelt down and said, "I will donate 100,000 dan of grain."

The magistrate of Licheng County glared at him and said, "You are so noble and great, but in the end you still kneel down in front of her like me!"

But they don't know that this is just the beginning...
