It's a pity that the two of them made a wrong calculation. They probably didn't expect that Manager Lin was so loyal to Wang Jinhe and devoted to him.
"Manager Lin, how have we offended you? Why are you framing us like this?"
"Manager Lin, you are too vicious. We have no grudges against each other, but you actually want the county lady to fire us."
The two of them kept talking back and forth, not giving Manager Lin any chance to speak, which made Manager Lin very angry.
"You don't have to blame this or that. This is my decision."
"Wang Jinhe, do you think that just because you are the county lord you can bully the people like this? We paid money to learn it, and they said they would give us things to do." One of them was very angry when he saw Wang Jinhe was so stubborn.
Not only did he not think he was wrong to betray Wang Jinhe for money, but he also thought Wang Jinhe was too stingy for being so fussy about such a small matter.
Just as Yuan Bao was about to take action, Wang Jinhe stopped him: "Let them continue talking."

When they saw that Wang Jinhe didn't say anything, they immediately became interested.
He pointed at Wang Jinhe and started cursing, and the words he said were very unpleasant.
Yuanbao clenched his hands into fists, as if he would lose control at the next moment.
When the two of them had finished cursing, Wang Jinhe looked at Yuan Bao and asked, "Do you remember what they just said to me?"
Yuanbao nodded: "Of course."
"That's good. Go and ask the county magistrate to come over."
"yes."
Manager Lin knew that Wang Jinhe was going to deal with these two people, so he quickly moved a chair over to her and said, "County Lady, you go first. The county magistrate will not be here for a while."
Wang Jinhe sat on the chair and looked at Manager Lin: "Go get the account book and show it to me."
"But the two of them..."

"Don't worry, you can't run away."
Only then did Manager Lin feel relieved and went back to get the account book.
The two were completely dumbfounded when they heard Wang Jinhe say that he wanted to call the county magistrate over.
As happy as I felt when I scolded Wang Jinhe just now, I feel as scared now.
One of them was afraid that he would be beaten with a stick when the county magistrate came, so he knelt on the ground and begged, "My lady, I just went crazy and was talking nonsense. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again."
Wang Jinhe looked at Xia Rong, who was begging for mercy with a calm expression on her face, and was completely unmoved by her pleas for mercy.
The person who kept kowtowing thought that Wang Jinhe would forgive him as long as he apologized.
After all, she heard that the county lady was gentle, kind and easy to talk to.
But how can this be easily explained
"No need to do that. Let's wait until the county magistrate arrives."
About half an hour later, the county magistrate arrived.
On the way here, the county magistrate had already heard Yuanbao's story about what had happened, so his expression was very grim when he came in.
"Your subordinate greets the princess."
princess
Manager Lin looked at Wang Jinhe stupidly.
Their county lady is actually a princess
They don't know about this.
"I don't want to be asked to kneel down and bow to me all the time." Wang Jinhe saw what Manager Lin was thinking and spoke.
When the two people who had scolded Wang Jinhe heard the county magistrate call Wang Jinhe "Princess", there were only two words in their minds: it's over.
Even if they didn't know the rank of the official, they knew that the princess was a royal relative, and insulting royal relatives would result in death.

"Princess, we know we were wrong. I'll tell you everything. Please forgive me. This is all my fault. Please let me go." She was still so young, not yet married, and had no children of her own. She couldn't just die here.
"County Magistrate, this matter is left to you. Do whatever needs to be done." Wang Jinhe ordered calmly.
It's true that she is gentle, but she is not to the point where she would say thank you to others after they scold her.
She is also a person with a temper.
"Princess, rest assured, I will leave this matter to you. I will definitely satisfy you."
"County magistrate, of course I am satisfied. But I have to go to the warehouse and cannot accompany you." Wang Jinhe said.
"Princess, just focus on your own business and don't worry about me."
Wang Jinhe nodded and glanced at Manager Lin beside him: "Let's go to the warehouse and take a look."
One of the girls ran over and hugged Wang Jinhe's legs: "Princess, we all know we are wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with us. Let us go."
Wang Jinhe frowned, very dissatisfied with this man's behavior.

"Yuanbao, get him out of the way."
Yuanbao walked over, grabbed the man by the collar, and then threw him aside.
The man suddenly turned pale with pain.
Wang Jinhe actually ignored them.
"Yuanbao, you accompany the princess to the warehouse. I'll be here." The county magistrate looked at Yuanbao and urged people to leave quickly and protect Wang Jinhe.
Yuanbao followed Wang Jinhe away.
After they left, the county magistrate's face darkened. He looked at the two men and said, "How dare you plot against the princess?"
"Sir, we didn't. She knew it before we even planned to do anything. This matter has nothing to do with us, sir. Please let us go."
"You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. Each of you should be severely beaten with twenty sticks, and then thrown back. Tell their families what they have done. If they dare to tarnish the reputation of the princess, they will all be arrested. And you'd better be careful about the identity of the princess." The county magistrate gave the two of them a stern look.
The princess gave them the opportunity to make money, but they turned out to be two ungrateful people.

Twenty lashes of the cane were a bit harsh for the two girls, but they asked for it.
After the beating, the two men lay on the torture bench, dying.
"This is the result of speaking without restraint. You should be thankful that the princess is not the kind of person who is difficult to talk to, otherwise you and your family would be dead. You dare to insult the princess without even considering who you are."
At this time, the two of them didn't even dare to feel any resentment.
And once their parents find out what they did to be dismissed by the princess, they will definitely not have a good life.
Just thinking about them is absolutely terrifying.
Their families gave them money to go to the academy, with the ultimate goal of allowing them to work and earn money in the workshop built by the princess.
I have told my family about these things before, and they all strongly opposed it. They did it secretly.
If their families knew about this, they would probably beat them to death.
Thinking of their miserable situation, they felt a little regretful.
"Sir, please help us plead with the princess. We really know we are wrong. Can you let us continue to work here? We will correct the things we did wrong in the future."
"Yes sir, we will definitely change it, please."
The county magistrate looked at the two men and said unhappily, "If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. There is no regret medicine in this world. You better take care of yourself."
After saying this, he ordered the yamen runner nearby to send the person back.
As they approached the house, the fear in their hearts became more and more obvious.
