As soon as the words "roast whole wolf" were uttered, Gu Yuzhi withdrew his foot, looked at Xie Changshi's upturned lips, and kicked the threshold with his toes.
Then, under Xie Changshi's calm gaze, Gu Yuzhi pursed his lips and slowly looked up at the sky, with an expression that said, "What are you talking about, Xie Changshi? Did Xueye do something bad? If he doesn't listen, let's have Guard Qi give him some more training."
Looking at Xie Changshi's serious expression, he sighed like a little adult: "Xueye has grown up a lot now. She must think our mansion is a bit small, so she goes out to be naughty, right?"
Did Chief Secretary Xie discover that he had sent Xueye to Dingzhou?
But didn't we just go there on a snowy night?
He pouted and glanced at Wen Shu and the other man, only to see them looking at each other blankly, clearly not knowing the reason either. He could only blink his big eyes and look at Chief Secretary Xie.
Chief Secretary Xie coughed lightly. Xue Ye was brought in from outside. When she saw Gu Yuzhi, she grinned and ran over quickly. Although she was the alpha wolf, her tail wagged rapidly, clearly indicating that she wanted to take credit.
Gu Yuzhi feigned surprise and asked, "Snowy night, where have you been playing? Why are you so dirty?"
He blinked, secretly chuckling to himself. Regardless of whether Xie Changshi knew what he was about to do, Xue Ye wouldn't speak, so he would absolutely not admit it!
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xueye tilting its head to look at him, letting out two soft howls, and pawing at him with its front paws, clearly seeking praise.
Gu Yuzhi then looked down and was stunned to see bloodstains on his front paws. He asked in surprise, "Did you scratch that prefect of Dingzhou to death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, quickly covered his mouth, and his big eyes darted around.
Wen and Shu both slapped their foreheads at the same time, their faces showing the same "I knew this would happen" expression.
Although I don't know how Xie Changshi found out about this, judging from his appearance, he must have succeeded.
With a wave of his hand, Chief Secretary Xie sent Guard Qi forward to take Xue Ye away, leaving Gu Yuzhi with a "good luck to you" look.
Gu Yuzhi stood up with his cheeks puffed out, then raised his chin and said, "Hmph, the prefect of Dingzhou is a bad guy. He didn't send any troops last time, so I'll have Xueye go and scare him."
Seeing that Chief Secretary Xie still didn't speak, Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up, and his tone became even more arrogant: "I told Xueye that it was just a bluff. Xueye would never do anything without a reason. If Xueye scratched him, it must have been him who started it."
Shu Xiaohan nodded as she listened: "Your Highness's logic is perfectly sound."
Wen Xiuzhu nodded, "But I still feel like something's not right."
Although the two exchanged a glance, under Xie Changshi's oppressive gaze, they couldn't immediately figure out what was wrong.
Chief Secretary Xie spoke slowly, seemingly answering the questions of the three of them: "Xue Ye is not wrong? Your Highness, do you know that Xue Ye is a wolf?"
Gu Yuzhi nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course I know! Xueye is not only a wolf, but also my good friend!"
He had never seen such a clever wolf!
Although, he had only ever seen one like it...
"Your Highness, the Prefect of Dingzhou is not a member of the Wen family and is already used to Xueye's presence. What do you think an ordinary person's reaction would be upon suddenly seeing a wolf?"
In particular, the wolf showed a strong aggression towards him.
What was the reaction?
Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and said, "Of course I'm scared!"
He sent Xueye because he wanted to frighten the prefect of Dingzhou.
Ideally, the prefect of Dingzhou would be so frightened that he would fall flat on his face and become a laughingstock among the people of Dingzhou.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi covered his mouth and chuckled secretly, revealing a childlike quality in his whole being.
Xie Changshi's anger dissipated at that moment. After all, His Highness was only a six-year-old child. It was normal for him to want to fight back when he was bullied.
He held His Highness to high standards, which was indeed a bit harsh.
Thinking of this, Xie Changshi's expression softened. He took two steps forward and slowly guided the conversation: "When Xueye went there, the prefect of Dingzhou was inspecting the houses of farmers outside Dingzhou City with his men. As soon as Xueye appeared, the horse under the prefect of Dingzhou went berserk and threw him off the horse."
Gu Yuzhi's mouth gaped open, her face full of surprise: "You fell off the horse?"
He couldn't help but gently touch his buttocks; even falling off the bed hurt him. The horse was so tall, the prefect of Dingzhou must have been in terrible pain.
Chief Secretary Xie sighed slightly, his expression somewhat strange: "After the Prefect of Dingzhou fell off his horse, he was kicked in the leg and injured it. The doctor in Dingzhou diagnosed that the Prefect's leg is probably beyond repair."
Throughout history, no disabled person has ever held an official position.
The fall that the prefect of Dingzhou made completely ruined his future...
Gu Yuzhi clearly hadn't expected things to develop this way. His slightly open mouth gradually widened, his eyes revealing a deep sense of disbelief, and then a hint of regret appeared on his face.
It seems like we went a bit too far...
The prefect of Dingzhou did not rescue him last time, but it seems he has no other evidence to prove that the man did something wrong.
Gu Yuzhi pouted, kicked the threshold with his hands behind his back, and after a while whispered, "Then what should we do?"
The joy of successfully scaring someone in the snowy night had vanished.
Seeing that his face was pale and he looked pitiful, Chief Secretary Xie chuckled and said, "Your Highness need not worry too much. It is said that after the news of the prefect of Dingzhou's leg injury spread, the people of Dingzhou set off firecrackers in the city."
Gu Yuzhi...
Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu burst into laughter. How unpopular must the prefect of Dingzhou be? He only set off firecrackers because his leg was broken. If he were transferred or died, would the people of Dingzhou celebrate by setting off fireworks for three days and three nights?
Gu Yuzhi scratched his head: "Why are the people setting off firecrackers?"
It's not a holiday, where are they going to buy so many firecrackers?
“The people of Dingzhou must have been oppressed for a long time, which is why they were so happy when they learned that the prefect of Dingzhou could no longer hold office.”
Gu Yuzhi's mouth gaped open even wider: "So the prefect of Dingzhou really is a big bad guy!"
His eyes darted around: "I'm going to tell my brother about this, and have him send someone to investigate this prefect of Dingzhou!"
Gu Yuzhi snorted twice, looking as if he had powerful backers and wasn't afraid of anything.
Chief Secretary Xie nodded in agreement: "The matter committed by the Prefect of Dingzhou must be no small matter. Governor Zhu has been back in the capital for more than a month, but a new governor has not yet been appointed. I wonder who the Emperor will send."
The King of Chu wields immense power. Apart from the Jiangnan region, the northern desert is also considered his stronghold. Once the King of Chu learns of the trouble that happened to the Prefect of Dingzhou, he will undoubtedly do everything in his power to reinstate his own people.
Qi Chengjun finally managed to enter the Jiangnan area with great difficulty, and they in Mobei cannot hold him back!
