95. Chapter 95 What a terrible girl



Princess Bao hurried forward to help him up: "My Lord, what's wrong with you? Wang Xin, please ask the court doctor to come and see my Lord."

Wang Xin was the chief steward of the palace. Just as he was about to ask someone to invite the palace doctor, he heard Prince Bao say in a deep voice, "No need to find a palace doctor."

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Princess Bao waved her hand to signal the servants in the hall to leave, then poured a cup of tea for Prince Bao before sitting down and asking, "Your Highness, didn't you go to pick up Yin'er? Where is Yin'er?"

"Hmph." Prince Bao became furious when he talked about this. He slammed the table angrily, and the tea on the table splashed out of the cup.

"What's wrong? What happened? Did something happen to Yin'er?"

Princess Bao was worried that something had happened to her son and was very anxious.

"Yin'er is fine. It's me who's in trouble." Prince Bao briefly recounted what happened in the Duwei Mansion, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Nanjin, that damn girl must not fall into my hands, otherwise she will be in trouble."

"She is just a small seventh-rank official. How dare she ask the prince to kneel down?"

Princess Bao was also very angry after hearing this. Then she remembered that Prince Bao's legs were shaking when he came back. She was surprised and said, "Your Highness, you are not really kneeling, are you?"

Prince Bao glared at her unhappily: "What do you think?"

Princess Bao was puzzled: "Why did you kneel down at her command?"

"That dead girl is a bit weird, let's not talk about it. The most important thing is the emperor."

When Prince Bao mentioned the Emperor, he was also furious.

Princess Bao was stunned: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty wants you to kneel? You are a meritorious official, who once..."

Prince Bao raised his hand to stop her from speaking: "What meritorious official or not, from now on, you should keep these things to yourself and stop showing them off."

"Why?"

"The emperor is afraid that we will be punished for not being able to kneel down and bow."

Prince Bao always believed that he and the late emperor had made contributions but at least had worked hard to establish the Great Qian Kingdom. He was also a cousin of the emperor and a person of the same generation. There was no reason for him, a brother who was older than the emperor, to kneel down. So he stood and saluted the emperor on unimportant occasions.

Usually the emperor responded with a smile and did not ask him to kneel, so he thought the emperor approved of his actions, and over time he took it for granted.

But today, it seems that this is not the case.

Prince Bao recalled the scene of kneeling outside the imperial study.

He knelt facing the emperor's desk. The emperor saw him, but his cold and indifferent attitude frightened him. He recalled that his attitude towards the emperor in the past two years was indeed too disrespectful. Anyone who didn't know would think that he was going to ride on the emperor's head.

If the emperor really wanted to investigate, he might actually charge him with disrespect. It’s scary just thinking about it.

Princess Bao was horrified and stood up and asked, "He remembered us? How could this happen? We didn't do anything. Why would he remember us?"

Prince Bao glared at her: "Can you keep your voice down? Do you want everyone to know about this?"

Princess Bao lowered her voice and said anxiously, "The emperor has remembered us, what should we do? Will he kill us?"

"It's not to the point of killing us, but remember to kneel and salute him and the queen when you see them in the future. Also, don't show up in the palace recently, so as not to offend them."

Princess Bao nodded: "What about Yin'er? Are we just going to let him stay in jail?"

Prince Bao rubbed his knees and said, "I asked when I came back. As long as you pay 20,000 taels, you can bring the person out. You can ask Wang Xin to do this."

"good."

When they brought back the prince from Prince Bao's mansion, Mu Nanjin was already lying on the bed watching TV series.

The next morning, he came to report to Captain Liu with dark circles under his eyes.

Captain Liu stared at her dark circles for a few seconds and asked nervously, "Your eyes are so dark, did you go out to steal last night?"

Would he really go and steal from the national treasury?

Mu Nanjin yawned and said, "Of course not. Tell me what mission you have today?"

Captain Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Kan said that you performed well yesterday, so he asked you to patrol the streets again in the next five days."

I really don't know whether I should say that his action yesterday could be considered an unintentional success. He only allowed Mu Nanjin to patrol because he agreed to the request of the gate supervisor, but who would have thought that he would be rewarded by the emperor.

"Still going on patrol?" Mu Nanjin thought that as long as nothing happened, patrol work would be pretty easy: "Okay, I'm leaving."

"Wait." Captain Liu frowned as he saw her still wearing the black flying fish uniform and asked, "Why are you still wearing the ninth-rank official uniform?"

"The seventh-rank flying fish uniform has not been changed yet, so I can only wear the ninth-rank official uniform for now."

"Liu Qian and his team finished the revision in one afternoon. Why is your revision taking so long?"

"They were in a hurry to wear it, so they paid extra to have it altered. I wasn't in a hurry, so I waited for them to alter it slowly."

Captain Liu handed her the banknotes sent by Prince Bao's Mansion, then waved his hand tiredly: "Go out."

Mu Nanjin left the office, and Liu Qian excitedly jumped in front of her: "Miss Mu, what are we going to do today?"

After what happened yesterday, Liu Qian's admiration for Mu Nanjin reached a new level, surpassing his father's position in his mind.

He even felt that his father was too cowardly yesterday. Unlike Mu Nanjin, he didn't care who came to him. He was so handsome.

If Captain Liu knew his son was thinking this way, he would definitely be angry to death.

Mu Nanjin handed him the 40,000 taels of silver note and said, "Go to the bank and exchange it for 40,000 taels of silver, then come to Zhengfu Street to find us."

Zhengfu Street was where the princes of Prince Bao's Mansion and Prince Fu's Mansion caused trouble. The two men destroyed the entire street beyond recognition because of the fight, and the people were miserable.

"yes."

After Liu Qian left, Mu Nanjin brought Xu Cheng and others to Zhengfu Street.

Zhengfu Street has been cleaned up, but there are only a few fewer people doing business.

Xu Cheng went up to the shopkeeper who was cleaning the doorway and asked, "Shopkeeper, why are there so few people doing business today?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare to speak when he saw they were wearing official uniforms. After recognizing Mu Nanjin, he excitedly said, "You are the female official from yesterday."

Mu Nanjin nodded.

"Thank you, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would have suffered even greater losses."

The shopkeeper thanked him excitedly.

Mu Nanjin asked again: "Why are there fewer people doing business today?"

This time, the shopkeeper answered very quickly: "Yesterday, the two princes destroyed many stalls and goods. Not only do we have to find wood to rebuild our stalls, but we also have to raise money to buy goods and do business again. Alas."

“Are you familiar with these stall owners?”

"Of course I am familiar with you. We have been doing business on this street for many years. How could we not be familiar with each other?"

"Can you find them?"

The shopkeeper was worried about something going wrong, so he asked cautiously, "Excuse me, sir, what do you want from them?"

The shopkeeper looked at them in disbelief. These petty officials could actually make the two princes pay compensation: "There is compensation? Sir, you didn't lie to me?"

He had been in the capital for many years, but he had never heard of any royal family member compensating the people after destroying their belongings. Even officials rarely sympathized with the difficulties of the people's lives.

Xu Cheng asked him: "Why would we lie to you? What good would it do to lie to you? If you can find other people, go find them quickly. When our companions bring us money, we can give everyone some compensation."

"Okay." The shopkeeper turned around and told the waiter to watch the store, then ran outside to notify the owners of each stall and store, and then asked them to notify those who had not come.

When everyone knew about this, people on the whole street were very excited.

About an hour later, everyone arrived at Zhengfu Street.

It just so happened that Liu Qian also brought the exchanged silver and money in a horse-drawn carriage.

Yang Bo instructed everyone to line up: "Line up properly, don't cut in line, and don't collect money twice, otherwise you will be severely punished."

When everyone heard about the severe punishment, they lined up obediently.

"Also, everyone should check to see if the people in front and behind you are business owners on this street. If anyone dares to falsely claim compensation, they will be arrested and severely punished."

After hearing this, some people who wanted to falsely claim compensation gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Liu Qian found five Jinyiwei to take records, and Xu Cheng and Yang Bo to distribute the money.

After receiving the compensation, the people's eyes immediately turned red.

"We got compensation, we really got compensation."

The people kept bowing to thank Mu Nanjin and his men. "Thank you, my lords. Thank you, my lords."

Some people were so excited that they cried: "If we didn't have this money, our family would have to beg on the street."

Everyone present understood his feelings.

It took us a whole day to distribute all the compensation.

In the end, there was only a little over one hundred taels of silver left.

Liu Qian smiled and said, "Fortunately there are some left, otherwise we would have to pay for it ourselves."

Yang Bo gave a thumbs up and said, "Young lady, your calculations are accurate. You need the two princes to pay 20,000 taels of silver each."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

The reason she knew the approximate amount of compensation was because she saw it in the gossip news, and then added up the money everyone had lost to get an approximate number.

Mu Nanjin gave them the remaining silver and said, "It's getting late. Take this silver and go eat."

Yang Bo asked: "What about you?"

"I still have things to do." Mu Nanjin still wanted to send the completed certificate to Fushan.

Yang Bo and the others watched Mu Nanjin leave.

Xu Cheng put his arm around Yang Bo's shoulders and said, "In the past, we only received hateful looks from the people. We felt so uncomfortable, but we had to do it. Today, we receive gratitude from the people. I feel warm in my heart and feel so satisfied and happy."

Liu Qian hugged them both and said, "This is because you have done good deeds. If you do more good deeds in the future, you will receive more gratitude from the people."

Xu Cheng and Yang Bo nodded.

When they took the other Jinyiwei to the restaurant for dinner, Mu Nanjin came to Yixinyuan.

When Fushan learned that she was here, she ran out from the backyard excitedly: "Girl, you are here."

Mu Nanjin handed her the revised certificate: "It's revised."

Fushan opened the good citizenship register and saw the word "good citizen" on it. She burst into tears of joy and said, "I am a good citizen now. I am finally a good citizen. Thank you, young lady. Thank you so much."

She rushed to the backyard with the certificate of good conduct: "Sisters, I have obtained the certificate of good conduct."

Most of the sisters congratulated her.

A small number of sisters were envious and jealous: "Since you have obtained a good citizenship, you should not stay here and let us ruin your reputation."

"You should leave now, or you might be insulted if you stay for another quarter of an hour."

Fushan stopped smiling.

The madam came out and said, "What's wrong with you two? Not only are you not happy for Fushan, but you also say some unpleasant things. Fushan, don't pay attention to them. They are just jealous that you can redeem yourself and change your status as a good person."

Fushan said: "I know what they are thinking, but I really don't know where to go after leaving here."

"Don't worry, wait until you've made up your mind before leaving. If you're worried about men harassing you, then from now on don't go through the front door. Go through the back door. No one will harass you there."

Someone said: "The back door is a small path where no one walks. But because there is no one there, we don't know what happened."

Fushan was silent for a moment: "I'd better leave early tomorrow morning."

The madam sighed and glared at the talkative girls.

At this moment, a tall figure walked in from the gate and asked in a loud voice, "Miss Fushan, if you don't mind, can you live with me?"

Fu Shan heard the familiar voice and turned around quickly. She saw the gate supervisor standing at the gate, smiling at her. She was surprised and puzzled: "Master Ji? Why are you here?"

The gatekeeper said, "I know you have changed your nationality, so I came to look for you."

The madam looked around at the two of them and said with a smile, "I think if Fushan lived in Master Ji's house, no one would dare to bully you."

Fu Shan blushed immediately: "Madam, how can a girl like me live in Master Ji's house? I will ruin his reputation. How can he marry and have children in the future?"

The madam laughed at her: "I don't believe you can't see that Master Ji is interested in you."

The gate supervisor walked up to Fushan and said, "To be honest with you, Miss Fushan, I have admired you for a long time. I have been reluctant to tell you about my situation because of my status. Now I want to tell you about my situation in front of everyone. I am approaching forty years old. I married a wife twenty years ago, but unfortunately she died of dystocia. My newborn son also died before he was a month old due to my negligence. I have never remarried since then. I am now a first-rank official and the gate supervisor of the Six Gates..."

Everyone took a deep breath. "A first-rank official? The supervisor of the Six Gates?"

They had never thought that Mr. Ji, who was dressed like ordinary people, was actually a first-rank official.

Those who were jealous of Fushan before were even more jealous. Fushan was so lucky. Not only did she earn enough money to redeem herself, but there was also a first-rank official waiting to marry her home. If they were not envious and jealous, they would be inhuman.

"I should have redeemed you long ago, but for some reason I had to disguise my identity in front of you. Anyway, I hope Miss Fushan can marry me, and I will definitely take good care of her."

【Oh, I finally confessed my feelings. 】

Gatekeeper: “…”

Didn’t Mu Nanjin leave?

He deliberately chose to come in when she was leaving because he didn't want her to know about his confession and then spread the news.

But I didn't expect that she was still nearby. What a scary little girl, she is everywhere. (End of this chapter)
