Chapter 456: The tribesmen who were raised to be brave
The day after the imperial edict was issued, Zhao Lingmeng and his companions carried the coffin back to Yunzhou. Although the entire city didn't see them off, many relatives and common people spontaneously came to see them off at the city gate.
Zhao Lingmeng thought that if her father saw these, he would be very happy! Most people would remember them.
Zhao Lingmeng and her group walked, stopping and starting, for nearly twenty days before they reached Yunzhou. Thinking of the pain of rushing on the road, she missed the cement roads and cars of her previous life.
But it's just a longing. The productivity of this era is not enough to produce those things! People can't even get enough to eat now, so doing these things is a bit of a misplaced priority.
The younger generation, however, were quite curious, looking around along the way. In just the past twenty days of traveling, they'd become familiar with a group of children they'd never been particularly familiar with. Even Zhao Zhifu got along well with Zhao Houming; he really liked this sunny cousin, who was also quite knowledgeable.
Children always admire the strong. Along the way, Fan Yong often rode horses with the three children, and their relationship improved a lot. At least he was not so unfamiliar with Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming.
When they arrived in Yunzhou, they immediately held the funeral for the old Marquis Zhao and the old Madam Zhao. The main reason was that the weather was too hot and they really couldn't delay it any longer.
As soon as the funeral was over, Zhao Lingmeng took her husband and child to live in the newly granted villa by the emperor, not giving her family any chance to make demands. Zhao Lingmeng didn't want to see these so-called family members back home anymore, as she was afraid she would be so angry that she would send them all to jail.
During the days that Zhao Lingmeng lived in the old house of Marquis Wu'an, she met people almost every time she went out. Even her husband-in-law was shyly approached, not to mention Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming.
At this moment, Zhao Lingmeng really felt that her parents were too tolerant towards the people in her hometown. What a weird thing they were.
Zhao Anping and Zhao Anwei were also furious, but since they were still in mourning, Zhao Anping planned to deal with them together when they left. He had spent the past three years here getting to the bottom of things. He wanted to see if there were any members of the clan who had committed serious crimes. He would deal with them together then, lest they commit serious crimes and it be too late.
Zhao Anping was just about to tolerate them for a few more years when someone went to Zhao Lingmeng's villa and made a scene the next day.
The next morning, before Zhao Lingmeng and Fan Yong got up, Qiuyue came in to report.
"What's the matter? Why are you calling for help so early?" Zhao Lingmeng was tired after spending so long and finally had a good sleep. She was very angry that someone disturbed her.
"Your Highness, please continue to sleep! I'll go out and take a look."
Zhao Ling dreamed that her master Fan had gone out to see her, and she continued to sleep. With her master Fan's ability, there was no need to worry at all.
When Qiuyue saw the Prince Consort come out, she knew that His Highness was still asleep, so she followed him.
Fan Yong arrived in the yard and looked at Qiuyue following behind him, "What happened?"
"An aunt from your Highness's clan is outside with her daughter, begging to see your Highness." Qiuyue thought for a moment and added, "The child looks to be the same age as the eldest young master."
Fan Yong frowned when he heard this. Where did these people get the courage to come to the villa as pimps?
"No, Your Highness is such a noble person, not just anyone can see him. Besides, Your Highness is still in mourning. If they make a scene at the gate of the mansion, report it to the police and say someone is trying to assassinate Your Highness."
"Yes!" Qiuyue heard the prince consort say this and immediately went down to deal with it.
They have been very angry recently, and no one dares to get close to His Highness, no matter how dirty or smelly they are.
In the end, the tribesman really acted out a scene at the gate of Zhao Lingmeng's villa, crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang himself. Qiuyue didn't even blush and ordered her men to take action.
"Come here, take these two men to the government office and tell them they are planning to assassinate His Highness."
The aunt, who was originally throwing a tantrum on the ground, immediately retorted with full force after hearing Qiuyue's order: "How dare you? Do you know who we are? According to the rules, your master must call me Sixth Aunt. My husband is of the same generation as Old Marquis Zhao."
"My master is Her Royal Highness Princess Funing, personally appointed by the Emperor, and enjoys the status of a prince. Who are you? How dare you claim to be related to the princess? Take me away."
Qiuyue felt that ever since her young lady was crowned the eldest princess, no one had dared to be so fearless and arrogant in front of them for a long time.
When the tribesman saw that they were really going to be taken to the authorities, neither mother nor daughter showed any fear. Before being taken away, they glared at Qiuyue with hatred.
I think Qiuyue is just a slave who looks down on others. When they come out, I will definitely teach her a lesson.
At this moment, they did not feel that they could not get out. After all, their Zhao family was a big family in this place, and the governor here also had to give them face. They were all treated with care and would not easily argue with their Zhao family.
Besides, from the mother and daughter's point of view, they didn't do anything, they just splashed for a while at the door of the princess's mansion. And she was still the elder!
But when they really arrived at the prefectural government office, they found that it was not the case at all. The prefect directly ordered people to arrest them. Even if they reported that they were members of the Zhao family, there was nothing they could do.
They began to panic and quickly asked the prefect to send someone to inform their family. The prefect's surname was Fei, and his name was Fei Wenpei. He had long tolerated these members of the Zhao family. This time, Princess Funing specifically named them to be dealt with, and he was overjoyed!
Lord Fei was also born into a prominent family, and he knew a thing or two about the temper of the Princess Funing. Although he was practically laughing, he still looked at the mother and daughter as if they were idiots.
When the two of them suggested sending someone to notify the Zhao family, he readily agreed, thinking that maybe a big drama was about to begin! Finally, someone came to make the decision for him.
Not long after, the husband of this so-called clan member came to Zhao Anping. This clan member was already considered a branch of the clan, but he obviously didn't realize it. This clan member was called Zhao Changcai, and if you counted him, he was indeed of the same generation as the old Marquis Zhao.
"Uncle Zhao Liu, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhao Anping's tone was really impatient. He had been annoyed by these tactless guys for a while now.
"Your sixth aunt and your sister are imprisoned in the prefectural government. Go and get them out. It's just a small matter. You wouldn't refuse to do it, nephew?"
Zhao Anping nearly spit out the water he had just drunk when he heard that. He looked up at Zhao Changcai in disbelief, "What did you say? Did I hear you correctly?"
Zhao Changcai didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. Who would dare not give face to Marquis Wu’an?
"Isn't it just going to the government office to release two people? It's not a big deal."
Now even Zhao Zhimo and Zhao Zhifu, who were standing next to him, widened their eyes, thinking, "Wow, this person is so arrogant! They have never seen such an arrogant person before!"
