Chapter 21 The Prince Asks for Punishment
Outside the door, an inconspicuous carriage was parked there. Apart from being slightly larger than ordinary carriages, there was nothing special about it.
A guard stood beside the carriage, holding a sword.
"Who dares to make noise at the gate of the post station!" Liu Feng was furious and was ready to vent all his anger on this person.
As soon as he went out, he saw a carriage with only guards outside, but no one saw its owner.
Liu Feng was even more angry in his heart. What a big deal!
He walked forward and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain to see what was inside: "Who is in the carriage?"
With a swish, the sharp blade was unsheathed. The sword that had been lying quietly in the guard's arms was now placed on Liu Feng's neck: "You dare to touch this curtain."
Liu Feng sneered. When had he ever been threatened like this before? "Your Excellency, you came to the post station and attacked the official without explanation. I'm afraid this won't be tolerated anywhere."
All his postmen were guarding Gu Yanqing in the lobby. This place was remote and there were not many people in the post station, otherwise he would not be in such a passive position.
"The current official?" The guard pondered these words over and over again, then sneered, "Your Excellency is quite clear-headed."
He addressed him respectfully, but showed no mercy with his feet and kicked Liu Feng to the door of the post station.
The guard casually dusted off his clothes and slowly walked up to him. "There's no one guarding the entrance to the post station. As the postmaster, you're forming cliques and disregarding the law. I want to see how much silver an official like you, the postmaster, is worth."
He pointed the sword at Liu Feng's throat and said, "Master Yicheng, if I cut off your head for dereliction of duty, how much reward will I get when I return to the capital?"
Liu Feng swallowed nervously, not knowing where this person came from. He just shouted, "Someone come here!"
The postman in the hall rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing Liu Feng half-lying on the ground, he drew his sword and glared at him: "You bold thief, how dare you attack an official of the imperial court in the street? Why don't you lay down your weapon and surrender!"
Shen Jinan and the others were just being watched and couldn't leave.
Now all the postmen guarding them had gone out, and she and Gu Yanqing looked at each other.
Since I can't escape anyway, I might as well go and see what's going on.
"Wow!" Shen Jinan couldn't help but exclaimed.
We could see Liu Feng's unfortunate scene from a long distance away. It was really satisfying!
"But who is that person holding the sword? Isn't he afraid of Liu Feng's revenge?"
She was a little confused. Didn't everyone avoid Liu Feng when they were in the capital?
If it weren't for Gu Yanqing, he would still be at large.
Where on earth did this hero come from who is enforcing justice on the behalf of heaven?
Gu Yanqing narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this person looked familiar. "I seem to have seen this person somewhere before. He is from the capital. Liu Feng is in trouble now."
No matter what, Liu Feng being in trouble is a good thing for them after all.
"As long as they don't bother to cause trouble for us for the time being, it'll be fine." Shen Jinan thought thoughtfully.
If possible, she would like to add more fuel to the fire.
Try to make Liu Feng busy and exhausted before leaving.
They have no power and influence now, and have to rely on others to get things done.
There are always some things that Commander Lin can't take care of.
Let’s take a look at the current situation for now. If this person is powerful enough to suppress Liu Feng, then they can borrow his power.
A group of postmen surrounded the carriage and the guard, with their swords drawn and pointed at the guard, but no one dared to step forward.
After a few seconds of stalemate, the guard moved first.
Glancing at the postmen around him, the guard showed no sign of panic. With his free hand, he pulled out a pure gold token from his waist. "Open your eyes and see clearly. Whose token is this?"
There were two large characters engraved on the glittering golden token. The moment Liu Feng saw it clearly, his eyes widened immediately. He got up from the ground and knelt down: "I didn't know that the prince would arrive today. This is my fault. I beg your forgiveness."
When Liu Feng lowered his head, a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
He's just a sickly fellow, why is he pretending to be so powerful here?
Seeing that he recognized the token, the guard put it back on his waist and asked, "The letter has been delivered a long time ago, why is there no one to greet it?"
In fact, whether to welcome it or not is secondary. What is important is the things that require preparation, which concerns the minds of many people.
But after arriving here, I found that this group of people were neglecting their duties and doing nothing.
Most importantly, Fang Huaining heard other news on the way.
This made him unable to bear it any longer and he wanted to take action to discipline the postmaster.
"Everything is almost ready, but there is only one medicinal ingredient missing. We searched all the other towns around but couldn't find it." Liu Feng got angry when he mentioned this, and he asked people to search everywhere around.
All the pharmacies were searched, but no trace of the medicinal ingredient was found.
A few days ago, they finally got the news, but by the time they rushed over, it was too late and the medicinal herbs had been taken away by someone else.
He put most of his energy here, and it was precisely because he couldn't find the medicinal herbs and felt depressed that he wanted to take it out on Gu Yanqing.
"A bunch of trash!"
The guard put away his sword, returned to the front of the carriage, and said softly, "Sir, these people are incompetent and unfit for any important task. Keeping them around would be a waste of the court's salary. Should we deal with them?"
His master was sitting in the car. Before he could speak, he heard a burst of rapid coughing, which lasted for a long time. "Finding the herbs is the most important thing. Let's put the matter aside for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender white hand stretched out from behind the curtain and lifted it open.
Then a handsome young man walked out of the carriage, and the guards hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Liu Feng also hurried forward and whispered back, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. I will definitely hurry up and take care of this matter."
The moment he saw this person, Shen Nian'an also felt extremely familiar.
Although this man is thin, his every move reveals his nobility. He must have a high status in the capital.
Logically speaking, I cannot touch it, but for some reason, it always reveals an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
She reached out and patted Gu Yanqing beside her, then turned around to ask him if he recognized it, but saw that Gu Yanqing's face was pale, as if the poison had taken effect again.
Shen Jinan skillfully took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured a pill into his mouth.
When she was doing these actions, she finally understood. No wonder she felt familiar with him. It turned out that he was just like the one next to her, a money-burner!
It’s just that the other person has a noble status, and now they can’t compare with him.
Judging from the man's symptoms, it must not be difficult to treat. Shen Jinan secretly made a calculation in his heart.
