"What time is it? Why are you still busy so late at night?" While asking this, Situ Xiu had already put on his clothes with the help of Lanhua and Qiumei.
"The hour of Hai." Juxiang said.
"Between 9 and 11 p.m., it's already late at night, is there anyone coming to see me?"
Situ Xiu muttered to himself, feeling confused, and didn't even think about the fields. After all, he had been farming for three months and everything was fine.
9 o'clock, 11 o'clock.
The three palace maids all had puzzled expressions on their faces, not understanding what the Fourth Prince was mumbling about.
After dressing neatly, Situ Xiu walked towards the bedroom hall, sat on a chair and drank a sip of tea. Juxiang opened the door, and Eunuch Hai glanced at him and walked in quickly.
"This servant pays his respects to the Fourth Prince."
Eunuch Hai bowed, then lowered his head and said, "I have disturbed the Fourth Prince's rest. I deserve death."
"Okay, no need to be so polite. Stop the polite words. What's the matter?" Situ Xiu waved his hand. People in ancient times were really troublesome, with all the etiquette.
Eunuch Hai stood up and said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, more than ten acres of land have been damaged."
"What?" Situ Xiu was stunned.
"It's a disaster." said Eunuch Hai.
"What!!"
Situ Xiu's expression changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly, and asked solemnly, "Who is it?"
"The servant on night duty reported that no one was seen. I have also checked and searched the surrounding area, but found nothing."
Eunuch Hai lowered his head and said that there was really no way. This matter could not be concealed because the Fourth Prince would inspect the fields every day. It would be better to report it earlier.
really.
"How can this be? I am the Fourth Prince. How dare this Great Sage cause trouble in my territory?"
Situ Xiu shouted angrily, "You are the fourth prince of the Great Sage, but you are bullied even when you are farming outside. It would be a huge joke if others knew about it."
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will report to the Six Gates tomorrow. I believe the criminal will be caught soon." Eunuch Hai said.
In ancient times, the Six Gates were the three judicial offices, namely the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate. Their responsibilities were to manage special cases and deal with various matters in the underworld. In short, they were one level higher than the government offices.
"You're so stupid! You're asking the Six Gates for something as trivial as the fields. Isn't that a joke?"
Situ Xiu shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed with Eunuch Hai. If such matters were to be reported to the Six Gates, wouldn't it be spread to the imperial court? It might even become a laughing stock among officials.
The fourth prince was farming when his land was dug up. He is so incompetent. So incompetent...
Eunuch Hai understood immediately, his face instantly pale. He knelt on the ground and blamed himself, saying, "I deserve to die. I was so anxious that I only thought about catching the criminal and didn't think too much."
Eunuch Hai was terrified and didn't even think of the consequences, but the Fourth Prince had thought of it. Is he really only 9 years old?
"Stop kneeling. Go tell Li Wei to gather the men at the gate, and get the horses ready."
"We have to catch the criminals ourselves. Don't count on the Kyoto constables. Even if they find out about the small matters in the fields, they will report them. They won't say anything openly, but they will do all kinds of disgusting things behind people's backs."
The fourth prince has no power and influence, is only 9 years old, and has no other qualities except for his royal title. The key is that he is a man, so he won't say anything on the surface, but he will look down on others behind their backs.
