Zhou Shijie was shocked when he saw Wei Shichang being rescued by the Ninth Master. Before he could react, he heard the Regent Prince say:
"In addition to hosting a banquet today, I also want to ask you for three things."
Zhou Shijie was trembling and wanted to send someone to Dingnan Marquis Mansion to ask for reinforcements, but was captured by Deputy General Xiao and his men.
"Master Jiu, what do you want from me?"
Lu Zhenzhi was fiddling with his bracelet and was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice from the other side of the bridge, gradually fading away: "Brother, where would that old man Jiu Ye go?" He couldn't help but chuckle. Who else could call him Lu Zhenzhi an old man besides her? The little girl who kept saying she wanted to break up with him, Lu Zhenzhi, Fu Tong'er.
He was so high up in the world, yet he couldn't even win over an eighteen-year-old girl! He had status, position, and wealth. I wondered what Fu Tong'er was up to. She must be too young, so she acted on impulse.
Returning to this scene, seeing Zhou Shijie's arrogant look, Jiu Ye coldly raised his hand and pointed slightly, saying: "Your official uniform, official hat, official seal!"
"Ah?!" Zhou Shijie was so scared that he was about to kneel down.
Jiu Ye suddenly yelled at him: "Take it or not!!"
This sound frightened everyone so much that they couldn't even breathe, and they knelt on the ground, not a single sound coming out. They all knew that the Regent Prince Chun would dismiss anyone on the spot, but they hadn't expected this to happen before the banquet!
The Regent, Prince Chun, the Ninth Prince, had not set foot in Pingxi for a hundred years. Now that he had come, he was forced to resign from office. Anyone would be afraid.
Zhou Shijie's official uniform and hat were stripped off, and soon even his official seal was taken away.
"Wei Shichang." Jiu Ye called out in a cold voice.
"I'm here." Wei Shichang said respectfully.
"From this day forward, this official uniform, hat, and seal will be worn and held by you. You will be reinstated. In the next few days, accompany me in investigating the official silver case. I hope you will help me root out and eliminate those corrupt officials in the court."
"Yes! I will follow the Ninth Master's instructions! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
"Yes." Jiu Ye turned to Zhou Shijie and said, "Imprison this man. Anyone who visits him without my order will be killed."
"Yes!" Deputy General Xiao clasped his fists and turned, raising his hand and shouting, "Come on, Master Jiu orders this man to be imprisoned! Anyone who visits will be killed!"
Two soldiers tied up Zhou Shijie and took him away.
King Hui saw Fu Tong'er riding a white horse leisurely not far away, followed by the Ninth Prince's subordinates, led by General Yi, and the two of them went to the disaster area.
So he whispered, "Ninth Uncle, she's here."
Jiu Ye had already seen Fu Tong'er's little figure. He didn't know if she missed him and followed him.
"They went to the victims." His Royal Highness King Hui continued.
Jiu Ye said calmly, "Since you have received the imperial order, you should do your job. Why bother with her? Tong'er is at an age when she is playful. Do you want to disobey your father's order and abandon your work to follow him? Even if you go, she won't like you. I don't need to tell you who she loves. As for her words of breaking up, it's just a little girl throwing a tantrum. I can indulge her for a few days, but that doesn't mean I will let her go. Nephew, Tong'er will not return to you. I will not allow this to happen. I hope you will understand soon."
Prince Hui said, "Uncle Ninth, I feel that the people over there are starving, and I heard there are bullies. It would be dangerous for Tong'er to go there. Uncle Ninth, won't you send someone to protect her? If not, I will ask the accompanying guards to keep her safe. It's too dangerous there."
Jiu Ye smiled faintly: Is she in danger, or are those bullies in danger? That ghost is smart, don't trick people into falling into the Wei River.
"She's dangerous."
