Chapter 167 The Troublesome Benefactor
When Luo Qing came out of the main hall, a large group of people were waiting in the courtyard and hurriedly went to greet him.
"Brother, how is it?"
Seeing his dejected expression, Luo Hao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Won't you affix the official seal?"
Luo Qing shook his head and tossed the document into his arms.
Luo Hao hurriedly opened it and saw the gleaming official seal of Yang Shanzhou, and was immediately overjoyed.
"Great, brother, let's go right now!"
"Everyone, pack up, let's go!"
Luo Qing waved his hand, and everyone hurriedly grabbed their things and left.
Little did anyone know that as soon as Luo Qing left the government office, he headed in another direction.
"Brother, this is the city gate!"
"Go to Qingfeng Inn."
Luo Qing said something rather irritating.
Yun Zhao's heart sank immediately.
What's meant to come will come.
Qingfeng Inn.
"Father, why aren't we leaving yet?"
Ling Xuerou asked, sounding a little sleepy.
"I'll go ask."
Ling Ruofeng was also a little puzzled.
They just arrived in Yangshan Prefecture yesterday. Logically, with ample supplies, they shouldn't be staying in Yangshan Prefecture.
Yesterday, the officials brought them to the inn, so they wouldn't have to endure the elements. Ling Ruofeng didn't ask any questions.
However, this morning, the officials did not seem to intend to ask them to leave.
After his daughter mentioned it, Ling Ruofeng went to find the officials to ask.
"What? Wait for another team?"
Ling Ruofeng immediately frowned.
The officials escorting them now are the Fifth Prince's men.
They naturally enjoy special treatment.
But if other officials from the Court of Judicial Review appear in the group, that would be troublesome!
"You should know that traveling with other teams will cause a lot of trouble. Leave now!"
Ling Ruofeng frowned and reprimanded him.
The official was in a dilemma and refused Ling Ruofeng's request for the first time.
"Actually, in Yangguan County, we should have waited for them to come out before leaving, according to custom,"
We shouldn't have so few people escorting them; it would be very dangerous if we encountered robbers on the way.
We were in a hurry to leave because you were worried about an epidemic in Yangguan County.
Although Prefect Yuan of Yangzhou conveyed the Fifth Prince's order, Prefect Yang of Shanzhou had already said so yesterday.
He received a document from the imperial court informing him that two teams would be joining forces, and we could not leave.
The position of prefect of Yangshan Prefecture was highly coveted, and there was fierce competition for it a few years ago. In the end, it was taken by a protégé of the Grand Tutor.
This person belongs to the Qingliu faction and only obeys the orders of the imperial court, so the Fifth Prince has no way to deal with him.
"My lord, once their entourage arrives, I will give them a heads-up. The officials from the Dali Temple are all shrewd and clever; there shouldn't be any major problems!"
The official smiled ingratiatingly.
He dared not offend any of these important people.
After hearing what the official said, Ling Ruofeng stopped caring.
When they got back, Ling Xuerou heard his explanation and immediately refused to accept it.
"Father, we still need to hurry to Jiangnan to find a master. Why don't we leave now?"
Speaking of the exiles who left first, wasn't that Yun Zhao and his group?
Although Yang Shanzhou is not far from Lingnan, there is no guarantee that her lies will be exposed as they spend time together along the way!
She hadn't fully gained Ling Ruofeng's trust yet, and she couldn't let them know she was lying!
But no matter what she said, it wasn't something Ling Ruofeng could decide whether they stayed or left; they had no choice but to stay.
At this moment, Luo Qing and the others had arrived in the back alley of the inn.
"You wait outside, I'll go in and meet the other exile group."
Luo Qing left the person in the back alley and entered through the back door himself.
"These are our documents. We received a notice from the prefect that I have been sent to take over your exile group."
After reviewing Luo Qing's documents, the official immediately handed over his own.
He then looked around and whispered to Luo Qing, "Boss Luo, this family is a bit unusual. We need to be careful on the road."
Luo Qing looked up and suspiciously examined the person in front of him.
The last time I told him something special was when he was being chased by Gao Minglang.
"What does this mean? Is it another important person?"
"Yes, you came from Xuyangzhou, right? It was Prefect Yuan of Xuyangzhou who said it was an order from above."
Unsure of Luo Qing's temperament, the officials had no choice but to subtly bring up Yuan Shuchang.
When it came to Yuan Shuchang, Luo Qing was immediately at his wit's end.
"Brother, to be honest, there are some troublesome important people in my group as well."
It's hard to explain in a few words, so let's do it this way: on the surface, we're colleagues, but in reality...
"Let's each mind our own business, without having to explain the truth to the other side. It'll be easier to explain to our superiors, what do you think?"
Luo Qing is now only thinking about how to save himself and his brothers. As long as he can safely hand over the people to Lingnan, everything will be fine.
Upon hearing this, the officer was overjoyed: "That's great! Boss Luo, my name is Wang Quan, you can just call me Little Wang from now on!"
Unexpectedly, the new handover brother was so easy to talk to, and Wang Quan happily shook Luo Qing's hand.
"No problem, no problem. We've wasted a lot of time, so let's get going."
The situation at the Jiangnan Prefectural Government office might not be good; we need to hurry!
Luo Qingsheng was afraid that staying here too long would cause trouble, so he quickly left.
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
Wang Quan turned around hastily, Luo Qing put away the documents, and called Luo Hao aside.
"Huh? We actually ran into the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence?"
Just as he feared, Luo Hao was now facing the same headache as his older brother.
"I've already discussed it with Wang Quan; they'll manage the Dingyuan Marquis's residence themselves. Tell the brothers..."
Do not inquire about the affairs of the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence. Prefect Yuan of Yangzhou gave the order.
"We'll keep Wang Quan's intentions to the Marquis of Dingyuan's household well; that's all we need to know. Don't interfere."
"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll go tell the brothers right away!"
While Luo Qing and the others were making their plans, Wang Quan told Ling Ruofeng that the people being gathered for exile were the Prince of Jin's residence and the General of the State's residence.
What a small world!
Lin Shujing muttered a curse under her breath in dissatisfaction.
Ling Xuerou lowered her head, her eyes growing increasingly sinister.
They actually ran into each other.
Lin Shujing noticed that her daughter was not speaking, and when she turned her head, she saw that her daughter had her head down and was not saying anything.
Thinking her daughter was scared, she hugged Ling Xuerou tightly.
"Xue'er, don't be afraid. With your mother here, Xu Qingyi wouldn't dare to bully you no matter what!"
Hearing the commotion, Ling Ruofeng turned around and comforted the mother and daughter.
"No matter how powerful Prince Jin is, he's just a commoner now. As for those good-for-nothings from the Xu family, there's even less to worry about."
Our family is now under the protection of the King of Yue, and those officials dare not offend us.
Who does Xu Qingyi think she is! Don't be afraid, show the spirit of the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion, there's no need to be afraid of her!
Ling Xuerou buried her face in Lin Shujing's arms, sobbing softly, "Waaah, Mother, I'm so scared!"
Seeing their daughter become frightened at the mere mention of Xu Qingyi's name, Lin Shujing and Ling Ruofeng were instantly enraged.
Ling Xuerou was secretly delighted.
Even if she is exiled, she can still live a better life than Yun Zhao!
Even if Yun Zhao has already become an apprentice, so what? As long as she gets in touch with Wei Junyan first and prevents them from meeting, Yun Zhao's life will be over!
Thinking of this, Ling Xuerou felt her back straighten up considerably.
