Chapter 65: Not Relying on Women
Sun Yongkang also stood up, "Yes, since the princess wants to be fair, find Xie Yunzhao and confront him. You can't be partial to him just because he is your fiancé."
When Zuo Yucheng heard that the situation was taking a turn for the better, he also shouted for people to come out.
Gu Kaizhi admired him even more after hearing this, and there were two more stars in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yunzhao. Such a big thing was caused by Brother Xie?
Lu Ziqian stretched out his hand to cover the token in his lapel and refused to lend it to Xie Yunzhao even if he was beaten to death!
Xie Yunzhao raised his eyebrows. It was all arranged by him. Who would point it out? He stepped forward and was about to come out.
Snap——
The gavel slammed, "Do you think you can accuse my fiancé? He is the second son of the Duke of Lu's mansion. He has no use for the first-rank Duke's mansion token, but he borrowed the prefect's token. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that?"
Sun Changyao was stunned for a moment. It turned out that someone was waiting for him here.
"Come here, take off Sun Yongkang and Zuo Yucheng's official hats, strip off their official robes, and put them in jail! I will ask His Majesty for instructions and then make a decision. I will definitely return a clean sky to the people of Linzhou!"
"Well said! I bow to the princess and to His Majesty."
Xie Yunzhao was about to take a step forward, but happily took it back, with the corners of his lips raised high and not wanting to suppress them, so that Rongrong could protect him.
The runners in the hall didn't dare to move. They looked back and forth, and then looked at the chancellor who was trembling in the corner.
Shen Shurong waved his hand and Zilinwei took action himself.
Regardless of the three people's excuses, wailing, insults, and struggles, they pulled the man away.
"The current Linzhou Prefecture is under the control of this princess. Before His Majesty sends a new prefect, anyone who does not follow my orders will be thrown into jail!"
The yamen runners' hearts trembled twice: "Yes, princess, I will obey your orders."
After leaving the court, Chen Shurong called the prefect, sat in front of the desk and glared at him, saying in a cold voice: "The reason why Lord Yu can still sit still is not because you are so good at your job, but because this princess needs you now. Lord Yu, please know who to listen to and how to do things next."
The prefect bowed and saluted, his attitude was extremely respectful: "I will obey the princess's arrangements and complete all the tasks assigned by the princess!"
"Don't go home these few days. Your wife and children are not at home. If you go back, you may not even have a warm meal. Do your job well under the supervision of this princess."
The prime minister's heart suddenly sank. Could it be? Was the trip to Nanshan a fraud?
"Yes, thank you for your consideration, my lady."
Chen Shurong assigned someone to follow the prefect to serve, and then walked to the back of the hall.
Xie Yunzhao followed with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Rongrong. You still have things to do. Leave those county magistrates to me."
Chen Shurong nodded, it was indeed hard work. Yesterday evening, the news was sent back in an expedited manner from 800 miles away, and His Majesty agreed.
She was busy recruiting a large number of people, and also had to raid the prefect's house to give an explanation to her uncle the emperor.
It just so happened that today they had taken away their power and no one was interfering, so she could do as she pleased.
Xie Yunzhao walked her back to the courtyard. She looked so beautiful when she was protecting him. He kissed her on the forehead. Nothing more could be done. They still had work to do. "If there's anything, ask someone to call me."
…
The county magistrates who had surrounded the area were shouting to get out when they saw Xie Yunzhao walk in.
Qingzhu brought the armchair and asked his master to sit on it. The county magistrates were confused.
"Who is this person?"
I have seen County Magistrate Hu at the welcoming banquet. "Second Master Xie, what are you doing?"
Xie Yunzhao turned his wrist and curled his lips in a wicked way: "Can't you see? This place has been controlled by me."
"Why are you locking us up? What exactly do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. Each person will pay 100,000 taels of silver and go back to their own county to repair the river bank and expand the river channel."
He raised the paper in his hand and said, "Whoever signs this letter of commitment, pays the money and does the work honestly, and will not be held accountable later, can go out."
Everyone seemed to have heard a fairy tale. Magistrate Hu was even more furious. The princess was not afraid of him and shouted angrily: "We are officials appointed by the court. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the princess's fiancé!"
Everyone understood that he was so arrogant because Princess Yongjia was here.
Xie Yunzhao put down the paper and said, "I, Xie Yunzhao, never rely on women when I am out there."
He took out his token, twisted the red string in the air, and said, "Look carefully, Duke Lu's Mansion, do you dare to mess with it?"
The county magistrates looked at each other in bewilderment. What was wrong with this man? Did he think it was glorious to rely on his family instead of women?
"Second Master Xie, no matter how powerful the Duke's Mansion is, it cannot bully the officials appointed by the court. Aren't you afraid that we will file a complaint with the emperor?"
"Yes, by then I'm afraid even Duke Lu won't be able to protect you!"
Xie Yunzhao clapped his hands.
Gu Kaizhi strode in, excitedly took out his token and held it high: "And what about my father? The Minister of Rites, second rank!"
Wow——
The Duke of Lu isn’t enough, now here comes the Minister of Rites?
A man followed quietly behind him, tremblingly taking out the token, not daring to show it all: "My father's official position is not high, he is the Chief Censor."
Another censor comes to give direct advice?
Xie Yunzhao looked at them in shock with satisfaction: "I asked you officials to manage your jurisdiction well, what are you going to sue me for?"
"Besides, given the three of us' identities, if you want to sue, it's not certain who will die first."
The county magistrates were indignant. They had never seen anyone talk about bullying in such a brazen way.
No one spoke, everyone glared at Xie Yunzhao.
He didn't get angry, he stood up and patted his sleeves: "Think about it carefully. Oh, by the way, don't try to fool me, otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
"Don't forget, my father still has an army of 100,000!"
He snapped his fingers, left Qingying behind, and walked away with a sneer.
Gu Kaizhi raised his head and glared: "Don't try to fool Brother Xie, huh!" He also followed him.
Lu Ziqian followed quietly, breaking out in cold sweat. If Xie Yunzheng knew about this, and if his father knew that he was involved, he would be beaten to death, right?
Gu Kaizhi followed closely behind Xie Yunzhao: "Brother Xie, that was so impressive just now. I have never done anything so exciting before."
"Don't worry, wait until these guys are dealt with, and I'll take you to Huaizhou to continue your majestic presence."
Lu Ziqian was about to kneel down, walking with his head down, bumping into people.
"By the way, you have to stay with me these two days, otherwise I'm afraid the news will leak out."
"Okay, no problem." Gu Kaizhi was eager to do so.
Lu Ziqian nodded with a sad face. Xie Yunzheng only gave him one task, which was to keep an eye on Xie Yunzhao and make sure he didn't disturb Princess Yongjia. He just needed to complete this task.
Yes, this means he has completed his mission.
Sun Yongkang was imprisoned, and the entire prefectural mansion was in a panic. Shen Shurong had people inform them that they would continue to do what they had done before, and that they would not be punished, but were not allowed to leave the mansion.
The whole morning passed, and they were only given tea and this was the only room for activities. The county magistrates were all holding their urine, and no one wanted to be the first to embarrass themselves in public.
Qing Ying sat on the armchair that Xie Yunzhao had sat on, crossing his legs. It was really comfortable to sit here. "It'll be fine if you sign. I've checked everything. It's not difficult to ask you to pay 100,000 taels."
"Bullshit, I am honest and upright."
"I am also incorruptible!"
Magistrate Hu comforted his colleagues: "Don't waste your breath on him. Lord Sun and Lord Zuo will definitely come to rescue us."
