Su s.h.i.+ba had a frigid aura around him as he glared at the magistrate with killing intent. The latter had never seen such a gaze before. He muttered, “Sh-she’s the princess?”

The magistrate was terrified as he looked at the young lady holding the token before him. As the magistrate, he knew about Princess Ruobings death. He also knew that Lan Ruozhu had acknowledged another as his sister, making her a true princess.

Furthermore, Su Binglan had recently lived in the deceased royal’s mansion and had an excellent relations.h.i.+p with the prince. The magistrate also heard that Su Binglan had helped many people and was loved by many.

The magistrate did not take the news seriously when he learned of Su Binglan’s ident.i.ty. After all, he never thought she would visit such a remote place as Yang County.

The magistrate was frightened and guilty. His heart almost jumped out of his chest. Meanwhile, the surrounding commoners were just as shocked.

A princess had visited their rural county to teach them about tomatoes, build factories, and improve their livelihoods. The commoners soon regained their thoughts and became excited.

They realized a princess had come to support them, so they did not need to fear anything.

“Miss Su is a princess?!”

“l knew it! She has helped us selflessly, so she must come from an extraordinary background. Still, I never expected Miss Su to be a princess.”

“Wow, I actually met the princess!”

“She’s so kind and beautiful, too.’

“Miss Su is Prince Ruozhu’s adopted sister. They’re such kind-hearted leaders.

We will live peaceful lives as long as we’re under Prince Ruozhu!s protection.”

“Princess Binglan has captured the evil merchants. Now, the magistrate will no longer dare to conspire with them.”

“Princess Binglan, are you here to help us?”

“Needless to say, everything she does is to help us commoners. Look, she even brought these sc.u.mbags to justice.”

“The magistrate was disrespectful to Princess Binglan just now! Hmph, that’s a capital crime! Let’s see if he dares to remain arrogant.”

The commoners were excited as they gazed at Su Binglan with bright eyes. Everyone felt as if they were looking at Yang County’s hopes and dreams.

The commoners hated the fact that the magistrate colluded with the merchants, forcing the villagers to comply. If Yang County were not in Dingzhou, the situation would have been even crazier.

Niore commoners gathered to watch the unfolding scene. Everyone felt their blood boiling as they looked forward to Su Binglan backing them up.

“The princess is here!” Everyone instinctively knelt.

Although Su Binglan had only been in Yang County for several weeks, everyone already knew about her. The commoners no longer feared the magistrate and the evil merchants.

Su Binglan had built factories and roads, installed a waterwheel, and even paid the villagers handsome wages. Everyone loved her because of how much she helped and cared for them.

They were ecstatic when they realized they had met a princess.

Su Binglan saw the commoners kneeling and hurriedly said, “Please stand, everyone. 1 will be your judge today, but please speak up if you disagree. No one under Prince Ruozhu’s jurisdiction is allowed to oppress the commoners.”

She spoke firmly with an indifferent expression. Still, her voice was gentle toward the commoners.

“l shall fire and imprison this magistrate for crimes against the people, accepting bribes, and deceiving his superiors and subordinates.”

The magistrate had taken many lives and must be executed. However, Su Binglan would leave that up to the next county magistrate. She would ensure the appointment of someone who could genuinely serve the people.

Su Binglan dealt with the situation publicly to deter various corrupt officials from interfering and to show them that the prince was always watching. Her declaration caused the commoners to cheer and express their grat.i.tude to her.

“Thank you, Princess Binglan!’

“Long live Princess Binglan!!

The magistrate’s legs went limp as he fell on his knees. Zou Gang and his thugs thought the magistrate would defend them, but ultimately, they turned pale when they heard Su Binglan’s words.

They panicked, not expecting Su Binglan to be a princess. They thought she was simply a young lady from a family who just wanted to do business. Little did they know Su Binglan possessed an extraordinary background.

Chief Yang and the villagers were surprised that the princess was so approachable. She even taught them many life-improving things.

Su Binglan could feel the commoners’ enthusiasm. These people were kind and straightforward. They were also grateful to those who helped them.

The magistrate kowtowed and cried, “Please spare me, Your Highness! They were the ones who forced me to conspire with them. They threatened me, saying they had the support of the officials from the capital.

“The Han family supports Zou Gang’s family. The Hans are one of the six great families in the capital. I’m just a tiny county magistrate compared to them, so I could never dare to offend such people.”

The magistrate could only confess to everything while Su Binglan smirked. She was no stranger to the Hans. “Hmph, that many people are behind this, huh?”

She had connections with the Han family when she lived as Lan Ruobing. However, that was all in the past. Su Binglan had forgotten about them initially but then remembered part of them when Luo Jin’an mentioned them.

Moreover, the Han family seemed to have much to do with the Wei family’s destruction. Su Binglan had yet to settle the score with the Han family. Still, she did not expect their reach to extend to Yang County.

Su Binglan exuded a cold aura as a terrifying light glinted in her eyes. Those who knew her well realized how furious she was at that moment. Su Wenxiu could sense the malice in his sister’s demeanor.

“S-Sister, are…you okay?”
