Xin Zhongyuan took it respectfully with both hands. He didn't dare to look at it carefully. He just took a quick glance and confirmed that it was the emperor's handwriting.
He immediately held up the letter with both hands and bowed with the people behind him: "Greetings, His Royal Highness!"
"I have already verified their identities, and the identity of the man in black that day has also been confirmed to be a murderer. I wonder if Lord Xin has any further questions?"
"Since he is the Crown Prince, then of course there is no problem!" Xin Zhongyuan said with a smile and a hint of relief in his tone.
At this point, this matter is no longer something that a mere governor like him can handle, and he doesn't want to get involved!
"Hey! You're quite sensible. In that case, can you return the gold and silver that we looted from the men in black that day? They were our spoils of war!"
Old Huang chuckled and looked at the governor.
When he heard about paying back the money, the smile on the governor's face froze for a moment.
This money went into the pocket of their government office, but it could actually be taken back by someone else?
This is simply... simply cutting flesh!
The governor remained calm and said, "How could such vulgar things as gold and silver enter the eyes of the prince? His Highness will surely be willing to donate this money for the disaster victims outside the city, don't you agree?"
Xin Zhongyuan's face was filled with the words "honest", and he looked sincere.
Mr. Huang didn't expect that an official could be so shameless. Is he going to rob openly?
"I'm telling you, you're trying to steal our money. You're stealing food from a tiger's mouth, don't you know?"
Old Huang crossed his arms and looked at the governor's smiling face, wanting to tear his face apart.
"You are too kind, old gentleman. Your Highness is being considerate of the people. How can you call this robbery? Isn't this smearing the Crown Prince?"
Mr. Huang was stunned.
Shameless! Really shameless.
The chief secretary and others behind him watched the governor interacting with the old gentleman with a righteous look on his face, and secretly glanced at Xie Siheng's expression.
However, I found that although the prince was young, he was a little unpredictable.
Listening to the verbal battle between the two people next to him, he was surprisingly calm and even leisurely fed the Saker Falcon meat.
The Chief Secretary and others couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for the Governor.
The door to the next room creaked open.
Ji Changying, with two huge dark circles under her eyes, looked sullenly at the two people arguing in the yard: "What are you arguing about?!"
When Huang Lao saw Ji Changying coming out, he felt like he had found a comrade. He stepped forward, pulled her in front of the governor and complained: "This old guy took our spoils and doesn't want to return them to us!"
"What loot?"
"It's the money of those assassins!"
Ji Changying was woken up in the middle of her sleep and was feeling very resentful.
Hearing what Huang Lao said, he rushed to the stone table in the courtyard and smashed the stone table, which weighed a hundred pounds, with one punch: "Money, horses, weapons, nothing is missing, return them all to us!"
Xie Siheng's hand that was reaching for the meat stopped in mid-air, and the plate of meat and the table were knocked to the ground.
The Chief Secretary and the Inspector all couldn't help but gasp.
This is not a pretty girl, this is clearly a female warrior who killed eight strong men with one punch!
When the Saker Falcon saw that its food was gone, it cried out anxiously. Xie Siheng reached out and held its wings: "I'll compensate you with a rabbit later!"
The governor swallowed hard and couldn't help but look at Xie Siheng: "Your Highness, look at this matter..."
Ji Changying turned her head and looked at him fiercely. Xie Siheng smiled and replied, "This is Miss Ji's trophy. She certainly has the right to decide whether to stay or leave. Lord Xin should have someone prepare it as soon as possible!"
Unexpectedly, after talking for so long, he still had to pay. The governor ordered the chief secretary with a painful look on his face: "Go, bring those things over."
"yes!"
Changshi glanced at Ji Changying and quickly turned around to get something.
Ji Changying's expression improved. "In that case, if there's nothing else, I should go back. Sir Governor, please stamp our documents and let me take them back!"
Xie Siheng looked at the governor. This was not a difficult matter, so the governor immediately went to do it.
"If I had known that words wouldn't work, I would have resorted to force. Anyway, with this guy here, they wouldn't dare to do anything!"
Mr. Huang said regretfully.
He had no talent for martial arts since childhood, especially when compared with his junior sister who was born with supernatural powers. He was completely defeated and simply devoted himself to studying medicine and poison.
But this makes the combat power value seem a bit too low.
Soon the official documents, banknotes, crossbows and the black horse were all brought over.
Looking at the shiny and powerful horse, the governor looked away with difficulty.
It hurts! It hurts so much!
"When do you, the Ji family, plan to leave Tongzhou? I'll send someone to see you off then."
The governor did not forget that Ji Changying was Ji's person, so it was impossible to ask her to stay, but the things prepared for Ji had to be sent to her.
Ji Changying handed the crossbow to Xie Siheng: "This is for you."
After saying this, he looked at the governor:
"Let's set it for tomorrow. If Si Tian has time tomorrow, please ask him to come see me. I have something to give him."
Ji Changying didn't plan to waste time in the government office. She was really missing her family after not seeing them for two days.
Seeing that Huang Lao was about to leave, Xie Siheng stopped him and said, "We will stay at the government office for now. I have something to discuss with the governor."
Mr. Huang was stunned for a moment: "If that's the case, then I will definitely bankrupt your government office!"
The governor twitched his lips and didn't dare to ask what the relationship between this person and the young master was.
"I wonder what His Royal Highness wants to discuss with me?"
"Regarding resettlement of disaster victims outside the city."
As soon as Xie Siheng opened his mouth, Mr. Huang looked at him in surprise: "Have you finally figured it out and decided not to just stand by and watch?"
——
Ji Changying packed up her things, took the black dog and went out.
Looking at the hundreds of taels of silver looted from the assassins, she began to wonder if the governor and his men had embezzled some of the money.
Changshi swore that he had not lost a single cent, and Ji Changying then accepted it with doubt.
Okay, a few hundred taels is not a small amount!
She led her horse all the way back to the inn and happened to meet Ji Fengshou who was coming back from shopping.
"My daughter!"
Ji Fengshou saw her face full of surprise.
Ji Changying was also very happy to meet her father as soon as she came back. She was about to greet him with a smile on her face, but she saw Ji Fengshou passing by her like the wind, staring at Heima, as if he was about to touch him.
"You're finally back! Where did this horse come from? Is it ours?"
Ji Changying's smile froze on her face little by little, and she looked at him expressionlessly: "Those who know me will think I'm your daughter, and those who don't will think this horse is your biological child!"
Ji Fengshou smiled awkwardly and gave her a perfunctory look: "You've gained weight! It seems that you are living well in the government office, so - is this horse ours?"
"Haha, it's ours."
Dad really doesn’t want this anymore!
