"Then I'm leaving."
"Go ahead."
Rui Yuankai stood up.
When he left the back hall, he was startled.
Just now, it seemed like I was the one who suggested leaving first?
What's more, he even urged Jian Zengren, feeling a little impatient inside.
This is too abnormal...
Rui Yuankai thought hard and felt that the only explanation he could give was that he had gradually stopped viewing Jian Zengren as someone worthy of awe.
He smiled bitterly and walked towards the side door.
At this time, there was a flurry of footsteps outside.
The Zhao family's servant stopped in front of the door and pushed a Yingsang woman over.
"Get in!"
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
Back hall.
Jian Zengren took a deep breath.
He stood up, took out a locked brocade box from the cabinet behind him, opened it,
There were many letters, visiting cards, and petitions. Most of the officials in Bozhou were involved, and they always called themselves "running dogs under the command of the emperor". Even Zhao Nong was involved, calling himself "rotten wood".
With these, perhaps we can use them as chips to protect ourselves.
He put the box away and turned to open the book on his right.
There are many pages in the book, just like the account book used to frame Ming Xuetang, with many unreasonable accounts on it.
There is a saying: "Pull out the radish and you will bring out the mud." It is easy to pull out the radish, but the mud is not easy to clean. The gentry in various places and the wealthy families in Bozhou will definitely protect themselves.
After reviewing the evidence, Jian Zengren breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The master knocked on the door loudly.
"Master! Mr. Zhao sent some things over, and also sent the Sixth Madam over."
Jian Zengren was stunned for a moment before he realized who this Sixth Madam was talking about.
He stood up suddenly, went over and opened the door.
He saw the Yingsang woman he had given to Zhao Nong standing at the door, holding a wooden box in her hand. The box was open and filled with gold, silver and jewels, with a strip attached to the jewels.
Jian Zengren grabbed it and unfolded it.
It reads, “Since the people are saying that she had an affair with you, I will return it to you!”
This is a complete cut.
The muscles on Jian Zengren's face trembled, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the note was crumpled into a ball.
Finished!
It's all over!
Once the news of Zhao Nong returning the gift spread, all the officials would follow suit.
When that time comes, you will die.
This is the broken window effect.
Jian Zengren didn't want to go to see the King of Hell so early.
He lowered his head and thought,
The Seventh Prince will soon enter Bozhou, which will only take two days. It is too late to mobilize experts to break through Li Qingcha and the two sixth-rank masters beside him.
Moreover, he might not be able to command Nightingale or the swordsmanship master beside Gu She.
At this point, we must be drastic and face death head on.
He waved to the master.
"Come! Follow me into the back hall."
This sounds weird and gay.
The master shuddered as he recalled the scene of Zhao Nong riding on Jian Zengren and whipping him.
He said: "Sir, these jewels..."
Jian Zengren frowned.
"What beads..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized,
"I don't know what Zhao Nong meant by these things he sent. Send someone to register them and seal them up. After a while, there should be a chance to return them to the Zhao family."
The master nodded quickly.
"I'll do it right away."
"Who asked you to do this? I asked you to send someone to do it, didn't you hear me? Come! Follow me to the back hall."
"Ah this..."
The lawyer had no choice but to follow Jian Zengren into the back hall.
Jian Zengren wrote quickly at his desk, then stuffed the note to his lawyer and instructed him, "You go and deliver this letter, personally, and don't give it to those unreliable yamen runners."
It was just a letter delivery.
The master put down his hand that was holding his belt.
Chapter 224 Please invite Li Qingcha out of retirement!
The huge royal procession meandered southward along the mountain road.
At the front, a dragon flag flutters in the wind.
The twelve flag guards were all wearing armor and sweating profusely in the hot weather in the south.
In addition, a hundred elite soldiers from the Beijing Camp protected the two wings of the team. Sword and shield soldiers, archers, and musketeers were arranged in an orderly manner, and the personnel allocation was very reasonable.
The rear guard was a female army——
Young Phoenix Camp.
The girls' weapons were better than those of the soldiers in the Beijing camp. They were all equipped with muskets and divine crow fire bombs, and their weapons were also made of fine steel.
Luo Weiyang lifted the carriage curtain,
"Sister Mushi."
She took out a piece of osmanthus cake like offering a treasure and handed it to Mu Shi who was riding on the side of the carriage.
"Want to eat?"
Mu Shi sniffed.
￣□￣｜｜
"Hey, why do I smell something weird?"
"Have it?"
"You little girl... Humph! I knew you wouldn't think of sharing your food with me. It turns out that the osmanthus cakes you bought too much earlier couldn't be stored anymore, so you remembered me now?"
"Hey~"
Luo Weiyang sticks out her tongue cutely.
She sniffed the osmanthus cake.
"It's not bad. But I just can't eat it."
"It's not bad, but it's almost smelly."
Mu Shi stuffed the osmanthus cake into her mouth.
The flowering period of osmanthus is from September to early October, so the osmanthus cake they eat now is made of candied osmanthus, which is sweeter than the seasonal osmanthus cake.
The only problem is,
“It smells like dried fish.”
result,
"Meow~"
There was a shout from inside the car.
Xiao Hui stuck his head out and showed his paw to Mu Shi.
Mu Shi: “…”
She has never been able to do anything with small animals like cats.
Luo Weiyang held Xiao Hui in her arms and asked, "Sister, how long will it take us to reach the Imperial Envoy's Office?"
The seventh prince was not an imperial envoy, but he enjoyed the treatment of an imperial envoy along the way.
Mu Shi unfolded the map.
"Almost there, only about three miles to go."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice and complained, "Alas, the Seventh Prince has asked questions like 'how long will it take', 'how far is it approximately', 'can we enter Bozhou today' at least a thousand times along the way."
Luo Weiyang blinked cutely.
"What a straw bag~"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
The two of them chuckled.
The team continued to move forward.
Gradually, they could see the residences of high-ranking officials.
This is already the territory of Bozhou. According to the plan, we will stay here for one night and will arrive at Bozhou Prefecture at noon tomorrow.
Suddenly, Mu Shi frowned.
"Did you hear it?"
Luo Weiyang is a weaker Qi-gazer, but he is a cultivator after all, and his five senses are far superior to those of ordinary people.
She nodded seriously.
"heard it."
There was a sound coming from the headquarters, as if there was an argument.
"All of you, step back! No more moving forward!"
"Master, my Qian'er has never come back since he went out to sea last time. It must be those pirates who did it..."
"Let us see the imperial envoy! We have a grievance!"
……
Someone must have blocked the door of the inn.
Luo Weiyang leaned out, mounted Mu Shi's horse, and the two of them hurried to the seventh prince's carriage.
At this time, the commander of the officers and soldiers, Captain Ao Jingshan, was reporting.
"Your Highness, there is a group of rioters outside the headquarters, saying they want to seek justice and severely punish the pirates and bandits!"
The Seventh Prince encountered no unexpected incidents along the way.
