Chapter 131 Old Friends
Doctor Feng was so frightened that he trembled all over, not understanding what they had done.
But he understood one thing, that since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. If they were caught, they would be skinned alive.
"Hey, hey, hey, sir, sir, did you make a mistake? We are all good people." Doctor Feng bowed and begged for mercy, offering a tael of silver distressedly.
If he had known this, he would not have come to the county today no matter how much silver he was given. Now, he doesn't know if he can go back safely.
The soldier was greedy for money, took the silver and said, "You can go, but the two people in the car must be taken away."
Anyway, the county magistrate only said that he wanted to arrest the two people in the painting, not the accomplices.
"This..." Doctor Feng turned around and looked at Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu, not knowing what to do.
"It's okay, you can go." Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng got off the car and walked away calmly with the soldiers guarding the city.
Compared with Doctor Feng's fear, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were not panicked at all.
Seeing the portraits of the two, Jiang Shu guessed that it was Zhuiyun Zhufeng who was looking for them.
But he really couldn't agree with this method.
The two were taken to the county government office, and the soldiers excitedly reported: "Sir, the people have been found."
The county magistrate who was handling official business in a high position heard the voice and suddenly raised his head.
"Changhuai?" The moment he saw the county magistrate clearly, Jiang Shu was surprised.
"Jiang... Young Master, Prince." Shen Changhuai blurted out and wanted to call her "Miss Jiang", but when he saw Jiang Shu dressed in men's clothes, he quickly changed his words.
"I am Shen Changhuai, your humble servant. I have met His Royal Highness Prince Jing." Shen Changhuai stood up and walked quickly to Yu Zheng, kneeling down to salute.
After hearing this, several soldiers who wanted to take credit were so scared that their legs became weak, and they knelt down and trembled as they saluted: "I have met Jing... His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
My God, they thought they were secretly catching some wanted criminal, but who would have thought they were looking for the current Prince Jing.
It's over, they were so rude just now, and they accepted bribes in front of His Royal Highness Prince Jing, they are definitely finished.
Several people were sweating coldly, kneeling on the ground and dared not breathe.
"Please stand up, Lord Shen." Yu Zheng said in a cold voice.
Shen Changhuai stood up and respectfully stepped aside: "My lord, please take a seat."
Yu Zheng did not move, staring at the kneeling soldiers and said: "The soldiers guarding the city accepted bribes and showed lawlessness. Does Lord Shen know?"
Shen Changhuai was surprised when he heard this: "I don't know, sir."
"Then Lord Shen knows now."
"Yes, I will deal with them severely to correct the evil trend."
Shen Changhuai bowed his hands and ordered in a deep voice: "Come, take them down and let me personally interrogate them."
"Sir, spare your life, Your Highness King Jing, please spare your life, I don't dare to do anything anymore." Several people kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Yu Zheng was unmoved, and Shen Changhuai quickly asked someone to take them away to avoid offending Yu Zheng.
"Why is Master Shen looking for this king?" Yu Zheng looked at Shen Changhuai and asked.
Shen Changhuai explained respectfully, "It was the prince's personal guards who came to the county government and asked me to find the prince's whereabouts."
"Please forgive me for the offense. Zhuiyun guards said that the prince's identity cannot be made public to avoid bringing danger to the prince, so this is the only option."
As they expected, Yu Zheng was not surprised at all.
When Jiang Shu heard Shen Changhuai mention Zhuiyun and Zhufeng, Zhufeng, who received the news, came in.
"Master." Zhufeng was very excited to see that Yu Zheng was safe and sound.
Jiang Shu was also very excited to see that Zhufeng was fine, and asked him directly, "Is Tanyu okay?"
"She's fine, Zhuiyun is in trouble." Zhufeng was a little indignant.
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Jiang Shu asked in astonishment: "But did Tan Yu cause you trouble?"
Not only trouble, it was deadly!
Zhu Feng said angrily: "In order to save her, Zhui Yun was hit by a rock and her arm was broken, and her back was also seriously injured."
This... Jiang Shu's face was filled with shame, and he understood why Zhu Feng was angry.
"Where are they now?" Yu Zheng asked.
Shen Changhuai on the side spoke at the right time: "In the back house of the county government."
Shen Changhuai personally led the way and took Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu to the guest house in the back house.
Zhui Yun was seriously injured and was recuperating in the guest room. Tan Yu held the medicine bowl and fed Zhui Yun medicine one spoonful at a time.
"Tan Yu." Jiang Shu entered the room and shouted after seeing Tan Yu.
Tan Yu hurriedly put down the medicine bowl when he heard the voice and ran over with an excited look on his face.
"Boss." Seeing that Jiang Shu was safe, Tan Yu cried with joy: "It's great that Boss is okay. I was so worried these days."
Zhuiyun was seriously injured to save her, which made Tan Yu feel guilty. Jiang Shu's whereabouts were unknown and his life or death was unknown, which made Tan Yu sleepless and uneasy.
These days, Tan Yu felt like she was living a year.
"Master." Zhuiyun endured the pain and got out of bed to greet Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng frowned: "Go back and lie down."
"Yes." Zhuiyun responded, and Tan Yu helped him sit back on the bed.
Seeing Zhuiyun's arm hanging and his pale face, Jiang Shu knew that he was really injured.
"Thank you for saving Tan Yu. I'm really sorry that you were so seriously injured." Jiang Shu first thanked and then apologized.
Zhuiyun felt guilty and said quickly, "Miss Jiang, you don't have to do this. I am willing."
Even without the master's order, he would try his best to save Tan Yu.
Because he likes her.
After some questioning, Shen Changhuai prepared a guest room for Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu to stay.
After a day's journey, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were indeed tired. After taking a hot bath to relieve their fatigue, they had dinner with Shen Changhuai.
During the meal, Jiang Shu asked curiously, "Changhuai, didn't you take office in Hengzhou? Why did you come to Qi County?"
Shen Changhuai replied, "I was transferred here at the beginning of this year."
Shen Changhuai was originally a county official in Hengzhou. How could he be transferred and still be a county official?
Jiang Shu didn't understand officialdom, but Yu Zheng understood it as soon as he heard it. Shen
Changhuai must have offended his superiors, and he was transferred in name only but actually punished.
If he had not been born in the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, it would not be as simple as a transfer.
"What about Yueyao and Aunt Liu?" Jiang Shu asked like an old friend.
Although Shen Changhuai is Shen Changze's half-brother, he is completely different from Shen Changze. He is a sensible and upright gentleman.
Therefore, even if there is a conflict with the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, Jiang Shu will not be angry with him.
It is a pleasure to meet old friends in a foreign land.
Shen Changhuai glanced at Yu Zheng and whispered, "Take care of the children in the main courtyard. I will let the maid take you there later."
Jiang Shu nodded in agreement.
Now that we are at their house, we should go and see them.
Yu Zheng, who was left aside, saw that Jiang Shu and Shen Changhuai were talking happily, and frowned a little unhappy.
He picked up a piece of pork ribs for Jiang Shu, pursed his lips and reminded: "The food is getting cold."
"Oh." Jiang Shu responded naturally, stopped talking and concentrated on eating.
Shen Changhuai was surprised to see Yu Zheng picking up food for Jiang Shu.
When he met Tan Yu the day before yesterday, he was very surprised why she was with King Jing's guards. After asking, he learned that Jiang Shu met Yu Zheng by chance when she went to Jiangnan for business, and then returned to Beijing together.
At that time, Shen Changhuai was very suspicious and didn't understand how Jiang Shu knew King Jing and was so familiar with him.
Tan Yu was vague and refused to tell the details, so he didn't dare to ask.
Seeing how Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu were getting along so close and at ease, Shen Changhuai suddenly understood something.
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng are definitely not just acquaintances.
He was shocked and puzzled. But he didn't dare to ask in front of Yu Zheng, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart and find another opportunity to ask Jiang Shu.
