"What's going on?" Magistrate Tong asked the two yamen runners in a stern tone.
"Sir, I didn't know he was a prince, and I spoke rudely and contradicted him." The frightened yamen runner told Magistrate Tong the truth.
"How dare you contradict the prince? You are courting death."
"Your Majesty, these two blind slaves have offended you. How do you want to deal with them?"
Prefect Tong reprimanded the two yamen runners in a harsh tone, and then asked Shangguan Feiyun in a flattering manner how to deal with them.
Before Shangguan Feiyun could speak, Li Yun spoke on his behalf: "Considering they were unaware and didn't commit any serious offense, let's give them a light punishment and a heavy warning. Give them fifty lashes and never hire them again."
Shangguan Feiyun saw that Li Yun helped him make the decision, so he did not refute it. They were all unimportant people. If Yun'er wanted to give them a light punishment or a stern warning, then let her do it.
"Do as she says." Shangguan Feiyun said.
"Yes!" Tong Zhifu said, and then he said to the other yamen runners: "Take them away, give them fifty lashes, and drive them out of the yamen."
"Yes, sir!" Two yamen runners came out and were escorted to the yamen to be beaten with a stick.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing us!" When the two yamen runners heard that they were only going to be beaten with fifty sticks and their lives were not in jeopardy, they immediately thanked Shangguan Feiyun.
After the people left, Tong Zhifu asked Li Yun, "Who is this lady?"
"Hello, Lord Tong! Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Yun, the 'Princess Jiahui' conferred by the Emperor!" Li Yun introduced herself.
"Your humble servant greets Princess Jiahui!" Magistrate Tong and his men immediately knelt down to pay their respects!
"Please stand up! No need to be so polite." Li Yun waved his hand and said to Tong Zhifu and others.
"Thank you, Princess!"
"Your Highness, Princess, let's go inside and talk. There are so many people coming and going here, it's not a good influence." Prefect Tong looked at the gossipy people who had gathered around the yamen. They were all eavesdropping, trying to understand the identities of these two people.
Oh my god! When did so many people gather around them and treat them like monkeys?
"Yes, let's go inside. Sir Tong, please call all the officials, big and small, in the government office to the hall." Li Yun said to Prefect Tong.
Gather the people together, let the Doraemon scan their character, and find out the one who is harming the county, so that you can safely keep the food and gold and silver.
"Okay, Your Highness, Princess, please come in!" Prefect Tong bent down and respectfully invited Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun in.
Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun came to the hall and sat on the high seats. Prefect Tong went out to call people.
A quarter of an hour later, eighteen officials of all ranks from the provincial capital arrived. They sat down and waited for the prince and princess to give them a lecture.
After everyone was seated, Li Yun used his consciousness to speak to Doraemon: "Doraemon, scan these people, see their character, and tell me one by one."
"Yes, master!" Doraemon said, and started from Magistrate Tong.
After half a quarter of an hour, Doraemon said to Li Yun, "Master, this prefect is a good official. He is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. He also wants to get promoted and make money."
"As long as he does good for the people, there is nothing wrong with getting promoted and making some money." Li Yun had a good impression of this magistrate Tong. As long as he wanted to be promoted, he would definitely be good to the people.
"Scan the next one." Li Yun said to Doraemon.
"Yes, master." Doraemon began to scan the Tongzhi.
Soon, it told Li Yun: "Master, this Tongzhi is also wholeheartedly for the people, has no bad intentions, and is a down-to-earth person."
"Okay, I got it." Li Yun said.
It took Doraemon an hour to scan all the officials and told Li Yun the results.
Among the eighteen officials, five were corrupt, especially the chief constable who was in charge of public security. He accepted bribes, bullied men and dominated the market, and extorted protection fees, making life miserable for the people.
Li Yun sent the five officials to jail and asked Prefect Tong to try them.
"Today, the prince and I, the princess, came to Yanzhou to bring food and money to rebuild our homes to the people of Yanzhou." Li Yun and the other five were taken to the prison before they told the purpose of their visit.
"Sending food? Really? That's great! The prince and the princess are truly great benefactors to the people of Yanzhou. On behalf of the people of Yanzhou, I would like to thank the prince and the princess!" When Prefect Tong heard about sending food, he knelt down again to thank the prince and the princess.
The officials below also knelt down and thanked the prince and the princess.
"All of you please stand up. The people of Yanzhou are also the emperor's people, and even more so the people of the court. Now Yanzhou has suffered severe disasters. The emperor will definitely send food and silver to help the people of Yanzhou overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes!" Li Yun called the kneeling officials to stand up, indicating that all this was the emperor's intention.
"On behalf of the people of Yanzhou, we would like to thank the emperor, the prince, and the princess! The emperor sympathizes with the people and loves them like his own children. He is a wise ruler. It is a blessing for the Jin Dynasty and the people to have such an emperor." Prefect Tong and his officials kowtowed in the direction of the palace to express their gratitude!
"Okay, everyone get up!"
"Prefect Tong, we brought 100,000 tons of grain this time. Is that enough for Yanzhou? We also sent 10 million taels of silver. Is that enough for you to rebuild your homes?" Li Yun originally wanted to ask Prefect Tong to calculate how much grain and silver were needed, but considering that it would take several more days to deliver, that would be too time-consuming. It would be better to deliver it himself first. If it wasn't enough, he could find a way to send more.
This time, he took out the food and silver just to fool them and ask why he and the prince were here.
"Enough! I would like to thank the prince and the princess on behalf of the people of Yanzhou." When Prefect Tong heard about so much food and silver, he was extremely happy and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Okay, sir, send someone to a place ten miles east of the city to fetch food tomorrow." Li Yun said to Prefect Tong.
"Yes, I will personally lead people there tomorrow." Magistrate Tong said happily and excitedly.
"The prince and I are tired. Let's make some arrangements and go to rest." Li Yun now felt tired and sleepy. He was tormented by the prince yesterday. He was tired and sore, and he hadn't slept all night.
"It's my fault. Please forgive me, Your Highness and Princess. I'll ask someone to make arrangements." Prefect Tong just remembered that the Prince and Princess had not had breakfast yet. The fact that they arrived at the yamen so early meant that they had entered the city early in the morning and had no time to rest or have breakfast.
"No problem! You go and make the arrangements." Li Yun said politely.
"Yes, I will arrange it." After saying this, Magistrate Tong asked two maids to take Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun to the backyard to find an independent courtyard to the east for their accommodation.
He asked the servants to go to the kitchen to boil water for Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun to wash and prepare the food.
Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun followed the two maids to the backyard, their own yard, to have a good rest.
Soon, the hot water was boiled and carried into Li Yun's room, so that Li Yun could wash up first.
After taking a shower and preparing breakfast, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
In the middle of the night, Shangguan Feiyun held Li Yun in his arms, avoided the patrols, and flew out of the state capital like a night owl, flying towards the eastern suburbs of the city.
Arrived at the location Li Yun mentioned, and took out food and silver from the space.
Looking at the mountains of food and silver on the ground, Li Yun left Doraemon here to protect the food and silver.
Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun returned to the provincial government again.
