Hua Fushu happily teased the parrot, and did not forget the turtles Xiaoba and Xiaojiu. Whenever he had time, he would play with the turtles and birds. Tuotuo was a playboy who did not work properly.
A few days later, Ye Songyan sent another chubby orange cat. Hua Fushu also "forgot" about the cat named Tuanzi in the Prince of Qin's Mansion and gave up the idea of bringing it to live permanently in the General's Mansion.
While she was recovering, Lu Tianyun visited her twice, but Qin Youran never came once, nor did she send anyone to ask about her. Disappointed, Hua Fushu began to reflect on herself, wondering if she had been such a jerk that even Ye Zelin disliked her.
She teased Green Bean, ate a piece of Green Bean Cake, and asked, "Green Bean, am I a bastard and troublemaker?"
The parrot said, "Asshole, troublemaker."
Hua Fushu's face darkened. As expected, even the birds disliked her!
She was determined to reform herself and would not go to the casino for a while. As Sanqiao said, she was good at both being active and quiet, and she could also be a quiet and beautiful girl.
While the General's Mansion was peaceful and tranquil, the Jingdong government office was a scene of unrest and chaos. This was the busiest time since Bao Changzhou took over as the Tokyo prefect three years ago. Bao Changzhou and Mr. Song's faces were always sullen, and the yamen runners were in a state of panic, howling and shouting.
The Prince of Qin was appointed Chief of the City Patrol. The Tokyo government office had already handed over all matters, waiting for His Highness to take up his post. However, the Prince fell ill and asked His Majesty for leave, postponing his appointment. Meanwhile, someone approached the City Patrol Office, claiming that a thug had demanded money from him and broken his brother's leg, and pleaded with His Highness to intervene. However, the Prince of Qin was away, and the Chief Clerk of the City Patrol, Old Yang, was afraid to take charge of the matter. Instead, he had the inquisitor brought to the Tokyo government office.
After Bao Changzhou took over the case, he immediately arrested the criminal and imprisoned him in the Tokyo jail. Just as he was finishing the case, someone reported that someone was eating for free at Lefenglou. A quarrel ensued between the owner and the freeloader, and several people were injured. Bao Changzhou, along with several yamen runners, rushed to Lefenglou. He brought the freeloader back to the government office, gave him a beating, and ordered him to compensate the store for its losses. He subsequently addressed several other grievances.
As the sun was setting, Bao Changzhou was about to return home when someone rushed in and said that their house had been robbed and their ancestral treasures had been lost. Bao Changzhou saw that the man was well-dressed and must be from a wealthy family. An ancestral treasure was something worth a fortune, so he hurriedly took people to the house of the person who reported the crime.
After some investigation and following clues, they finally found the heirloom of the reporter in the neighbor's house. However, Bao Changzhou and others were shocked. The heirloom turned out to be a chamber pot, and it was the most common chamber pot!
After recovering the treasure, they discovered it was all a misunderstanding. The son of the family reporting the case and the neighbor's son were childhood friends. The neighbor's son, upon hearing that the family had an heirloom, begged the reporter's son to bring it to him. Without consulting his father, the reporter's son took the chamber pot to the neighbor's house. Bao Changzhou and the other yamen runners were visibly distraught. The reporter happily escorted Bao Changzhou and the others out of the house, holding the chamber pot.
Over the next four or five days, the number of injustices and trivial incidents on the street only increased.
For example, the son and daughter-in-law of the Wang family in Dongshi were getting divorced.
For example, several valuable gold hairpins were lost from Dongji Jewelry Store in Xishi.
For example, the child of the Zhang family on Yongning Street was pushed into the water.
For example, there was a disturbance at the Tongle gambling house, or a fight at Caishikou.
for example……
In addition to dealing with various injustices, the Tokyo government also suffered a lot of retaliation.
For example, on the morning of the third day, someone threw two snakes into the Tokyo government office. The snakes were wandering around everywhere. Bao Changzhou and Mr. Song jumped up, and a group of yamen runners were busy driving the snakes away. It took a lot of effort to get them away.
For example, on the afternoon of the fourth day, a big rooster jumped into the Tokyo government office, flew onto Bao Changzhou and left a pile of chicken shit on him. A group of yamen runners chased after it but couldn't catch the rooster.
For example, on the evening of the fifth day, a strong black dog came from nowhere and chased Bao Changzhou everywhere.
…
On the morning of the ninth day, Bao Changzhou and Mr. Song arrived at the government office, but saw a bloody picture of a skull hanging in the hall with four words attached: You will not die well!
Mr. Song fainted. Bao Changzhou frowned in thought, feeling increasingly suspicious about the disputes he'd been receiving for the past ten days. It was as if someone had deliberately set him up to resolve them. He used to only handle one case every four or five days, but now he was receiving over ten a day. He pondered over it, but couldn't figure out who was trying to frame him.
After Mr. Song woke up, Bao Changzhou ordered him to write a notice and post it at the gate of the Tokyo government office, temporarily refusing to handle all disputes and public security incidents. At the same time, he sent someone to the Prince of Qin's mansion to inquire when the Prince of Qin would recover from his illness.
In the Prince of Qin's mansion, Qin Youran sat cross-legged, sipping the 'Peach Blossom Drunk' wine that Qinzhou had just delivered. A smile played on the corner of his mouth, like the vast blue sky, making people feel comfortable at a glance. He sipped the wine from the wine pot and laughed loudly, "Good wine, good wine!"
Mu Qing, dressed in shorts, leaned against a pillar for a long time, holding his longsword, glancing at Qin Youran from time to time. His master, however, was only busy drinking and ignored him. When he looked at Qin Youran again, she finally responded, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Mu Qing smiled and said, "Your Highness, the people in the Tokyo government office are in a panic. Bao Changzhou has posted a notice in the government office, saying he will not accept any cases. I'm afraid Miss Fushu's method will be useless."
Qin Youran smiled and said, "Bao Changzhou offended my sister, so naturally he must be taught a lesson. This girl's anger has probably subsided. This prince has been ill for a long time. If he doesn't recover, that vicious woman and His Majesty will be dissatisfied. Mu Qing, go to the City Patrol Office and tell them that this prince will take office in two days."
Mu Qing received the order and headed for the City Patrol Office. As soon as he left, Aunt Sang came over with some yam and red bean cakes and placed them on the table. "Your Highness, I asked the kitchen to make some yam and red bean cakes. Would you like to try some and see how they taste?"
Qin Youran picked up a piece and took a bite. "The taste is a bit bad, not as good as Sanqiao's."
Aunt Sang smiled and said, "The chef in the kitchen was hired temporarily, so naturally he can't compare to Miss Sanqiao's. If his cooking doesn't meet Your Highness's liking, I'll have Guan Yu fire him and find someone with better skills."
Qin Youran said, "Forget it. Although it's not as good as Sanqiao, it's not far behind."
Aunt Sang said, "Just listen to your Highness."
Qin Youran finished her piece of yam and red bean cake and was about to take her second piece when she heard Aunt Sang say, "I heard that the young lady of the General's Mansion was punished. Your Highness knows the young lady, so why don't you go to the General's Mansion to see her?"
Qin Youran said, "In my heart, Hua'er is as important as Master. If it weren't for Master, I would have died at the hands of that vicious woman. Without Hua'er's company, these years would have been so boring. They have given me the warmth and love of family. When I return to Beijing, I don't know how many eyes are secretly watching me. If they knew about my relationship with Hua'er, I'm afraid they would hurt her to deal with me. I stay away from Hua'er for her safety."
Aunt Sang smiled and said, "I heard Mu Qing and Guan Yu talk about the young lady of the General's Mansion. I really want to meet her. What kind of person could make His Highness so worried and concerned?"
Qin Youran knew Aunt Sang was teasing him, so he let her tease him. He replied, "She and I are not blood relatives, but we are better than blood relatives."
