Chapter 372: Cheng Cheng has finally waited for it!

After the envoy from Pingxu State left, the prefect of Fengjin County, who "had just heard the news", also hurried over.

As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down in panic: "I am guilty!"

"I didn't know your majesty was coming, I deserve death!"

The remorse on the face of Fengjin County Magistrate Zou Cailiang was extremely sincere, and his words were extremely honest, but he did not get the result he expected.

Emperor Mingze, who was sitting on the main seat, said nothing, and the courtiers in the room were also silent. Except for the long "e--" sound that came from someone unknown at the beginning, he could not hear any other sound.

With nothing to do, he began to recall the past in detail.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the "Ugh" sound was a mixture of surprise, embarrassment, speechlessness, and many other complex emotions.

Zou Cailiang's head was a little dizzy. He felt as if he had done a very high-intensity reading and comprehension task, but he was unconsciously picturing the possible expression of that person in his mind.

His eyebrows were raised high, his eyes were slightly widened, and his lips might even be parted. Although the expression on his face did not look overly exaggerated, one could still understand his emotions at a glance.

Guide General Lei Zhixin was just as Zou Cailiang imagined, with a slightly dull and stupid expression.

This scene...

I think I just saw it not long ago...

However, the envoy from Pingxu State was crying uncontrollably, while the face of the prefect of Fengjin County was very clean and refreshing.

[W-Where do you know?! ]

[He obviously knew it at almost the same time as the old man from the Ding family! ]

Lei Zhixin's lips, which had just shown a tendency to close, suddenly opened again, and even showed a tendency to open wider and wider.

Fengjin County is truly a Feng Shui treasure land!

If you are an official under the Ministry of Personnel’s inspection, come here. You can either get promoted or make a fortune. It’s the same thing!

[Those noble families involved in the buying and selling of little girls all rely on the "care" of this prefect, and they don't want anything to happen to him! ]

[As soon as Mr. Ding received the news, he sent someone to deliver a message to the prefect! ]

[Damn it, Cheng Cheng shouldn’t have woken up so early! ]

Now if we invite "Reverend Jiayue" to come out, I always feel that there will be a great risk of exposing the truth.

Jiang Yingcheng, who didn't realize that she had already exposed herself completely, suppressed the urge and said, "I'd better ask Brother Yuan to write a note for me!"

Several officials in the crowd shuddered and were about to bend their knees. They wanted to kneel on the ground like the prefect of Fengjin County.

Emperor Mingze hated those who bought and sold little girls. As a ruler, he naturally hated corrupt officials. The prefect of Fengjin County simply embodied all of Emperor Mingze's negative emotions!

Everyone looked at each other with their eyes and noses, and no one dared to look at the young emperor sitting on the main seat.

There was a sound of "click".

Jiang Yanchuan gently picked up the cup. The jade tea lid lightly collided with the cup body. The crisp and weak sound still made the Fengjin County prefect shudder again.

"No problem," Jiang Yanchuan said, "Everything will be kept simple on this trip. I have also strictly ordered my ministers not to leak any information. You are not to blame."

The prefect of Fengjin County raised his head in gratitude and skillfully turned on the "flatterer" mode: "Your Majesty is so kind and generous. It is a great blessing for me!"

Jiang Yanchuan nodded calmly.

The magistrate of Fengjin County had tears in his eyes.

Jiang Yanchuan cares about the people.

The prefect of Fengjin County warmly invited Emperor Mingze and his entourage to stay in his prefecture temporarily to experience the people's sentiments.

Jiang Yanchuan was about to refuse——

[Huh?! ]

[It's really lively in this badass prefect's house! ]

[Let’s go! Cheng Cheng wants to go!!]

Qingliu present: Let’s go! They want to go!!

His body was no longer timid, and his eyes were no longer dodging. Instead, he looked towards Emperor Mingze with his clear and sparkling eyes.

Jiang Yanchuan: “…”

Jiang Yanchuan: "...Thank you, Mr. Lao."

The prefect of Fengjin County was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to prepare more than ten large sedan chairs to carry all the officials back to his residence.

…

The residence of the prefect of Fengjin County was not very big, but the reception hall was very spacious and grand. Jiang Yanchuan sat in the only main seat in the hall, his eyes moving slowly along with the little guy's figure as he looked around.

[The bad prefect himself will come out to receive the guests? How stingy...]

When they went to the uncles' houses before, the uncles would come out with their families to greet them.

She didn't care much about the red tape, but...

[If they don't come out, how can we enjoy the excitement? ! ]

Qingliu at the scene: “???”

The Qingliu present: “!!!”

This won’t work!

They came here today, risking Emperor Mingze getting angrier the more he ate, just for this big, hot melon!

What if the melon owner doesn't come out? !

Duke Wang, using the wide sleeves of his robe to cover his back, reached out and poked Lu Yao twice, and whispered, "Aren't you known for your quick wit? Think of a solution."

"Why me?" Lu Yao was stunned by Wang Guogong's provocation and immediately lowered his voice, "Why not you?!"

Wang Guogong paused for a moment, then smoothly turned on the "moral kidnapping" mode: "Boy, you have taken advantage of the little guy's wishes all along, and now you are not even willing to fulfill this little wish of yours?"

Lu Yao: “…”

Lu Yao: "...Old man, when did you learn this trick?"

"Then don't worry about it. Just tell me whether you want to go or not."

Lu Yao looked embarrassed.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat melons, but he hasn’t even figured out who the owner of the melons is yet. It’s really—

[Alas, if the son of the bad prefect doesn't want to come out, then let him not come out, Chengcheng——] Let's think of other ways.

"Lord Zou!" Lu Yao took advantage of the moment when Zou Cailiang was talking to Emperor Mingze and stepped out of the line, saying loudly, "I've always heard that your son is both talented and handsome, I wonder what's going on today...?"

【Hey? 】

Jiang Yingcheng is happy again!

【Cheng Cheng announced that Uncle Lu is Cheng Cheng's favorite uncle! 】

Lu Yao puffed out his chest proudly.

Hearing this, Zou Cailiang's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly felt ecstatic!

Although it is unknown where the commander of the Jinyiwei got this false information from, but - to appear in front of Emperor Mingze with such a reputation is the dream of many students!

He immediately ordered the maid to call the people over, and the smile on his face became much more genuine: "Your Majesty came suddenly, and I was unable to prepare in advance. Today I only prepared some local specialties. I hope Your Majesty will not mind."

Jiang Yanchuan smiled slowly: "Thank you for your concern, my dear."

Zou Ziang and the maid who served the dishes walked in together.

It was obvious that he had dressed up with great care. Regardless of his character, at this moment he looked whiter than snow, as gentle as jade, and had some of the temperament that Lu Yao had described.

As soon as he entered the door, he said in an apologetic but polite manner that he had just returned from outside the house, and that he was very scared because he was unable to greet him in time... and a series of beautiful but hypocritical words.

As usual, Jiang Yanchuan waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

The group of people quickly took their seats at the banquet.

Jiang Yingcheng seemed to like this new older brother very much and insisted on pulling his hand and asking him to sit on his right.

The two Zou family members were overjoyed and quickly agreed with fear and trepidation.

At the banquet.

Jiang Yingcheng moved vigorously and insisted on getting the food which was a little far away from her by herself, but her eyes kept glancing in the direction of Zou Ziang.

[Oh my god, when will he find out?] Jiang Yingcheng was a little tired from picking up the food, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice.

Finally, when she raised her arms high for who knows how many times, she saw Zou Ziang looking at her inadvertently out of the corner of her eye, and she suddenly froze in place.

【Oh yeah! 】

【Chengcheng finally waited for it! 】
