Qing Ying laughed and clapped his hands: "I don't know whether to praise you or laugh at you. You still expect the former prefect and the former imperial envoy to rescue you!"
predecessor? What's the meaning?
Qing Ying waved his hand back and said, "Go and ask the princess if you can borrow Yu Fucheng for a favor."
The man took the order and left.
Not long after, a man came in with his neck shrunk. He had heard that the meeting room was surrounded.
The county magistrates were very friendly when they saw him, and they hurriedly welcomed him in and surrounded him, "Master Yu, what's going on? How is the situation outside?"
"Lord Sun, where is the imperial envoy?"
"They are so arrogant that they dare to detain an official appointed by the imperial court. Let's get Prefect Sun here."
The prefectural chancellor raised his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. Ask them one by one. Sun Yongkang is no longer the prefect. He was stripped of his official hat by the princess when he went to court earlier."
The county magistrates were shocked. How could a little girl like her have such great power? Unheard of!
"Why does the princess have the right to do so? She doesn't hold any official position."
"But the princess has the imperial sword, and she also removed the imperial envoy from Zuo. Now the Linzhou government listens to the princess."
What?
Everyone's eyes became distracted, and the whole morning was turned upside down!
"You'd better agree to whatever Second Young Master Xie asks you to do. He..." The Prime Minister glanced at Qing Ying but didn't dare to say anything. Their families are all in Nanshan, so they probably won't have much to do.
"Okay, Lord Prime Minister, you can go out now." Qing Ying raised his hand to signal.
The chancellor hurriedly lowered his head and went out. The county magistrates felt that he seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and the authority he had in front of them was gone.
For lunch, Xie Yunzhao went to find Shen Shurong. She was busy in the morning.
Lu Ziqian stopped him. If he failed to complete this task, he might not be able to survive. "Let's do it together. You and the princess haven't gotten married yet. It's not good."
Xie Yunzhao frowned and glared at him. Was it Xie Yunzheng who asked him to take care of it?
Gu Kaizhi pulled Lu Ziqian away, "Lu San, we will use it together, Brother Xie will accompany the princess."
Not only did Xie Yunzhao have lunch in Shen Shurong's courtyard, he also did not leave her room for the entire afternoon. Mother Qian went to Nanshan, and he wanted to stay with Rongrong the whole time.
Lu Ziqian sat in Xie Yunzhao's room wiping his tears. He ignored everything and stayed in the princess' room, unable to complete his own insignificant task.
Gu Kaizhi handed him a handkerchief and said, "You have to get used to the days when Brother Xie accompanies the princess. Just wait patiently with me."
Lu Ziqian rolled his eyes and said, "You idiot! You are so happy to be used by others. You will probably be beaten to a pulp by your father when you get home."
Before dusk, Xie Yunzhao went to the meeting room again. Everyone looked unhappy.
They had already discussed that even if no one came to rescue them, Xie Yunzhao would not keep them locked up forever. As long as they got out, Xie Yunzhao would definitely pay the price.
Xie Yunzhao secretly thought that he was quite courageous: "By the way, your wives and children are back, right? The princess's carriage has already returned."
The county magistrates were all stunned. Didn’t the princess not go to Nanshan?
The princess went and came back, but what about their family?
"What did you do to them?"
"Where the hell are they?"
Xie Yunzhao raised his fox eyes slightly, very charming: "How should I know? I didn't go to Nanshan. Could it be that they got lost?"
"You scoundrel! How could the Duke of Lu give birth to a son like you?"
"How dare you hold an official's family hostage? How audacious!"
"Shut up!" Xie Yunzhao picked his ears. "Do you have any evidence? What does the missing person have to do with me?"
"However, if I see someone with 100,000 taels, I will help that person find it. There is strength in numbers, and I believe we will be able to find it in three to five days."
"If someone doesn't appreciate the favor, I can help find it, but I don't know whether it's alive or dead. Isn't that right?"
The county magistrates sat down in their chairs dejectedly. They had encountered the devil.
Xie Yunzhao picked up the paper again and said, "My patience is limited. Let's put it this way. I will only give five of you eight a chance. For the last three who sign, there is no guarantee that their families will be able to return."
Before he finished speaking, someone had already rushed over. As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
Soon, the eight letters of commitment were signed, and the red fingerprints were pressed on them. Xie Yunzhao was satisfied and had someone put them away.
"Someone will follow you back to stamp the official seal. Prepare the silver first. When the silver is handed over, I will help you find someone."
Xie Yunzhao left, no matter how many people scolded him.
The magistrate of the farthest county also rushed back overnight, handed in 100,000 taels in two days, and welcomed his wife and daughter back three days later.
Various places have hired a large number of local farmers to take protective measures before the flood season.
The chancellor also paid 100,000 taels to bring his wife and children back.
Yu Sheng ran to the prison to see Sun Feifei, and tears immediately fell.
She has always been bright and beautiful. Although he couldn't see his true feelings, he knew she was innocent.
At this moment, she has lost her former charm and pride.
"Fei Fei, are you okay? Tell me if you need anything and I'll bring it to you."
Sun Feifei turned her head and ignored him. She was already in jail, and if he sent something to her, it might anger the princess and get Yu Sheng locked up. She didn't want to implicate him.
Yu Sheng was anxious. Why was she still ignoring him at this time?
"I don't ask for anything in return, nor do I ask for you to like me. I just want to help you in any way I can."
Sun Feifei chased him away: "Don't bother me. My father has not been convicted yet. I don't need your sympathy!"
Yu Sheng lowered his eyes, feeling disappointed: "If you don't tell me, I will just prepare it by myself."
Sun Feifei's tears fell, but she still didn't look back.
…
The next day, Chen Shurong and his party rushed to Huaizhou, and Linzhou was first handed over to the prefectural chancellor for custody.
They stopped at a restaurant for lunch. Xie Yunzhao accompanied her and tried to use the same trick again.
Shen Shurong disagreed, “It’s impossible that your actions have not been spread outside. What if someone is ready and sends away his wife and children? How can you handle it?”
Xie Yunzhao has many tricks up his sleeve. When his family members died, he just cut off his hands.
Chop off one and the other one won’t kneel down and surrender?
They are all seventh-rank scholars, who dares to confront him?
But he didn't dare to say anything. He didn't dare to say anything about this incident, for fear that Rongrong would think he was immoral.
Unfortunately, she still found out. Fortunately, she didn't say anything. I may not know the same thing next time.
"Then how can we do it quickly? We still have to go back to Beijing to get married." Xie Yunzhao said in a muffled voice.
Shen Shurong knocked on his forehead: “You forgot, I am the imperial envoy now. If anyone doesn’t take the silver, I will directly confiscate their property.”
"Sun Yongkang confiscated 500,000 taels, and the prefect of Huaizhou may have more..."
Chen Shurong was happy just thinking about it, because it was impossible to make money so quickly by doing business.
Xie Yunzhao stared at her. How could she be more direct than him?
He also gave it a chance to offer it up voluntarily.
"What if they hide all the money and complain to you about being poor?"
Chen Shurong pinched his waist and said, "Then demote him. He embezzled so much money and couldn't even save it. What's the use of him?"
Xie Yunzhao burst out laughing, "Haha, Rongrong is so funny."
Laughing selflessly, he reached out to hug Shen Shurong and kiss him.
"Ahem, Second Young Master, please be careful."
Xie Yunzhao was startled. Mother Qian was still there. "I'm sorry, Princess. I'm being rude."
