Chapter 1035 of Emperor Phoenix's Divine Doctor and Abandoned Concubine, sending out troops, brothers meet without knowing each other
"Fame? What is that? If I need it, I can have it immediately."
In Shandong, the Lu family's commotion and the spread of the news among students did damage the reputation of the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince did not take it to heart.
"Uh..." Feng Qingchen paused and almost bit the Ninth Prince's finger. She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
She forgot that news did not spread quickly in this world and imperial power was supreme. It would be difficult for the Lu family alone to ruin the reputation of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince pursed his lips and smiled, gently stroking Feng Qingchen's lips with his fingers, with no intention of continuing to speak.
Feng Qingchen opened his mouth angrily, but the Ninth Prince did not avoid it and let Feng Qingchen hold his fingers. The touch from the fingertips made the Ninth Prince not want to move.
The two looked at each other, time stood still, and the temperature in the room slowly rose...
Cough cough... After a long time, Feng Qingchen came back to his senses. He turned his face away and dared not look at the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince's eyes were too hot, it was suffocating.
"Haha..." The Ninth Prince did not embarrass Feng Qingchen. He laughed, stood up, leaned down, and whispered in Feng Qingchen's ear: "Qingchen, I am a trustworthy person. The three-month period will be up soon."
The soft and gentle voice was like a feather brushing across the heart, making people tremble uncontrollably. Looking up, Feng Qingchen saw the undisguised desire in the eyes of the Ninth Prince. He immediately came to his senses and leaned back unconsciously.
She always felt that she was in danger, and that a man who had been hungry for too long was scary.
"Nine..." Feng Qingchen was about to beg for mercy, but the Ninth Emperor pretended not to hear him and turned away, leaving Feng Qingchen alone, pounding the bed angrily: "Bad guy! Bad guy, things have just made a little progress, and you're thinking about things you shouldn't think about. This is too much."
There has been some progress in Shandong. All the members of the Lu family have been put in jail. As long as the Ninth Prince doesn't speak up, there's no way the Lu family will get out. Even though the prince can't take their lives, he can still lock them up.
You know, the power of the royal family cannot be underestimated!
However, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages. For every day that the Lu family is imprisoned, the Lu family’s shop will not be open, and the people of Shandong will not be able to buy daily necessities.
As a result, the people could not make a living at all, and it would not take long for Shandong to be in chaos. Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, Shandong was in chaos two days later. Other shops had grain for sale, but the price was unacceptably high, and the people were simply unable to afford it. Seeing the chaotic market, the Governor of Shandong was anxious on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.
"Ninth Uncle, there is no rice left in the city. Many people are gathering to cause trouble. If this continues, people will really starve to death."
"Um."
"Ninth Uncle, I beg you, please have mercy and let me go. If this continues, the people will definitely riot, and then the situation will be out of control." The Governor of Shandong looked like he was about to cry, but the Ninth Uncle remained unmoved. He sat in the chair with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the Lu family's cabin, the man listened to the situation outside and smiled bloodthirstyly: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, I really want to know how long you can hold on. If you really force the people to rebel, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"Master, the people have been gathered and can take action at any time." A man in gray was standing in front of the man. When the man heard what the man said, he spoke cautiously.
"Right now, I don't want to see Uncle Nine still in Shandong tomorrow."
"I understand."
The man in gray turned around and went out. Soon a group of people gathered outside Huayuan. Unlike the previous riots by students, this time it was a mob holding shovels and iron bars.
Some people gathered outside Hua Garden, picked up stones and threw them into Hua Garden, and kept shouting for the Ninth Prince to release the Lu family and open the shop for business. They wanted to buy food and eat...
"Ninth uncle, something terrible has happened. Outside, outside... there is a commotion." The Governor of Shandong just went out and turned back, leaning against the door and panting. "Ninth uncle, there is a mob causing trouble. They smashed the shops along the street and didn't find anything, so they gathered outside Huayuan. They want you to release the Lu family."
"Really? Let's go and take a look." The Ninth Prince stood up and walked out without any panic.
The Governor of Shandong quickly stood in front of the Ninth Uncle and said, "No, Ninth Uncle, you can't go out. Those mobs have gone crazy. What if they harm you?"
"I believe the Governor-General can guarantee my safety." The Ninth Prince took a step back in disgust. The eight generals beside him immediately stepped forward and pushed the Governor-General away. The Governor-General was secretly delighted, but to show his loyalty he still shouted loudly: "Ninth Prince-General, you can't, you can't go out."
"Shut his mouth."
The Ninth Prince did not even look at the Governor of Shandong, and walked out under the escort of his personal soldiers. As soon as he reached the door, he heard cursing and shouting outside. The Ninth Prince did not even frown, and signaled his personal soldiers to open the door.
The personal soldiers rushed out with shields in hand. Clanging sounds were heard and all the stones hit the shields. When the people who were making trouble outside saw that the door of Huayuan was opened, they immediately rushed forward.
"Back off, back off, all of you." The guards did not hit anyone, they just kept them outside. The mob was not willing to do that and they tried to squeeze in. But at this moment, a loud bang sounded beside them. The mob paused and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a flash of fire on the left side of Huayuan. The next second, the high wall collapsed to the ground and thick smoke rose.
ah……
Someone screamed, and the mob seemed to be frozen. No one dared to make a sound, and no one dared to move forward. They all looked in the direction of the explosion, fearing that if they moved, the thing would explode next to them.
Upon seeing this, the personal guards immediately stepped forward and used shields to block the person from moving forward to ensure the safety of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince stood on the steps of Huayuan, looking at the excited people on both sides, and said coldly: "You want to kill me?"
"I dare not, I dare not, Your Majesty, I just want to ask for a bite of food..." Those who still had a little bit of common sense immediately knelt on the ground, while those who had already lost their minds and had their eyes reddened, raised their iron rods and shouted loudly: "You dog prince, you eat and drink delicious food, and spend a lot of money to hold a birthday party for your mistress, but you force us to have nothing to eat and drink. We want to kill you, so what? Dog princes like you, everyone can kill you."
The Ninth Prince glanced coldly at the person who scolded him and didn't take it to heart at all. However, there were many people in the crowd who were excited by his words, and a cold light flashed in the Ninth Prince's eyes.
A personal soldier in armor rushed over at this time, knelt on one knee in front of the Ninth Prince and said, "Your Majesty, Master Su's merchant ship has arrived."
"Okay." When the Ninth Prince heard this, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
Su Wenqing, you came at the perfect time. From now on, there will no longer be a Lu family store in this Shandong city...
The Ninth Prince dismissed his personal soldiers and loudly asked the mob: "Do you want to force me to release the Lu family, or do you want to buy food?"
"Buy food, we want to buy food." The mob shouted loudly. Occasionally, a few people said they wanted to release the Lu family, but they were drowned out.
"Very good... Since you want to buy food, go to the port now. There is no food in the city, but five large ships of food have arrived at the port. You can buy everything you want." The Ninth Prince's voice was not loud, but it had a kind of bewitching power that made people convinced involuntarily.
"Your Highness, are you telling the truth? We won't starve to death?" someone in the crowd asked cautiously.
The reason they were causing trouble was because someone said that the Ninth Prince was going to raid the Lu family and starve them to death.
"Of course not. I can guarantee that you will live the same way as before. The shops in Shandong are closed, but I can guarantee that you can buy everything you need, and it will be cheaper than before. If you don't believe me, you can go and see now. I'm waiting for you here."
"Boats, boats, there are so many boats and people in the harbor. Quick, go get the rice bags. The white rice."
The mob was skeptical about the Ninth Prince's words, but they couldn't possibly lie. When they heard this, the mob immediately became chaotic and shouted loudly: "Believe it, believe it, we believe it, we will go and see it now."
The mob rushed out like running water. When those who were hiding in the crowd and inciting the people saw that something was not right, they also wanted to run with the crowd. However, the personal soldiers of the Ninth Prince were staring at them and would not let them leave.
The personal guards took advantage of the chaos to rush into the crowd and captured those people. Those people wanted to shout a few more times, saying that the Ninth Prince's men had beaten someone to death, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they found that their jaws had been broken. As for the other people who caused trouble, the Ninth Prince did not pursue any of them.
There is no need to bother with them, they are a group of fools who are being exploited.
The conspiracy of the man in the wooden house against the Ninth Prince was easily broken by the five large ships. With the supplies in those five ships, there would be no chaos in Shandong even if the Lu family was locked up for a year or two. After all, in such a peaceful and prosperous era, it was impossible for ordinary people to rebel and risk being beheaded.
The Governor of Shandong was so angry when he saw that the killing plan carefully prepared by the Lu family was easily cracked by the Ninth Prince, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the Ninth Prince. He could only force himself to show a smile that was uglier than crying.
The Ninth Prince was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked people to keep an eye on him and not let him leave Huayuan. The Governor of Shandong saw that something was wrong and wanted to rush out, but it was too late...
Once you enter Huayuan, you just have to be obedient.
During the day, the Ninth Prince used the supplies brought by Su Wenqing to quell the riots in Shandong, and then began to work on the next step. The situation in Shandong had been delayed for long enough and had exhausted all his patience.
In the evening of that day, the three thousand city defense soldiers that the Ninth Prince "borrowed" from the Governor of Shandong returned to the city. However, these three thousand people were not old, weak, sick or disabled, but elite soldiers under the Ninth Prince's command, and a thousand black cavalry were also mixed in with them.
"Your Highness, the people have arrived." One of the eight generals came forward to report.
"Get ready to go." Under the moonlight, the Ninth Prince, dressed in silver-white armor, was like a god of war who had strayed into the human world. The murderous aura between his eyebrows made people dare not look directly at him.
Tonight, he will send troops to attack the Lu family. He believes... with the memorial he submitted, the emperor cannot do anything to him even if he kills all the members of the Lu family!
