Chapter 372: Cheng Cheng has finally waited for it!
After the envoy from Pingxu State left, the prefect of Fengjin County, who "just heard the news", also hurried over.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in panic and said, "I am guilty!"
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I deserve to die!"
The remorse on the face of Fengjin County Prefect Zou Cailiang was extremely sincere, and his words were extremely sincere, but he did not get the result he expected.
Emperor Mingze, who was sitting on the main seat, said nothing, and all the courtiers in the room were also silent. Except for a long "Uh--" sound made by someone at the beginning, he could not hear any other sound.
With nothing to do, he began to recall the past carefully.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the "Uh" sound was mixed with surprise, embarrassment, speechlessness... and many other complex emotions.
Zou Cailiang felt a little dizzy and felt as if he had done a very difficult reading comprehension test. However, 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 open a little. Although the expression on his face did not look overly exaggerated, one could still understand his emotions at a glance.
General Lei Zhixin of Guide was just as Zou Cailiang imagined, with a somewhat dull and foolish expression.
This scene...
It seems like 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 clear and refreshed.
[Where, where do you know?! ]
[He obviously knew it almost at the same time as the master of 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!
Come and be the official who is being inspected by the Ministry of Personnel. You will either get promoted or make a fortune, one of the same is guaranteed!
[Those noble families involved in the trafficking of girl children all rely on the "care" of this prefect, and they don't want anything to happen to him! ]
[Mr. Ding just received the news and sent someone to pass the message to the prefect! ]
[Damn it, Cheng Cheng shouldn’t have “woke up” so early just now! ]
If we invite "Reverend Jiayue" out now, I always feel that there will be a great risk of being exposed.
Jiang Yingcheng, who didn't know that he had already been exposed, forced himself to suppress the urge: [I'd better ask Brother Yuan to write a note! ]
Several officials in the crowd trembled all over, their knees were about to bend, and they wanted to kneel on the ground with the prefect of Fengjin County.
Emperor Mingze already 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 their noses, and no one dared to look at the young emperor on the main seat.
"Click——" a sound.
Jiang Yanchuan gently picked up the cup, and the jade tea lid lightly collided with the cup body. The crisp and weak sound still made the Fengjin County Governor tremble again.
"No problem," Jiang Yanchuan said, "This trip will be kept simple. 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 "sycophantic" mode: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous, it is my great fortune!"
Jiang Yanchuan nodded calmly.
The eyes of the Fengjin County governor were red and wet.
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 customs.
Jiang Yanchuan was about to refuse——
【Eh? ! 】
[There's something fun to watch at this badass prefect's house! ]
[Let’s go! Cheng Cheng wants to go!!]
The people present: They are going! They are going!
They no longer flinched, nor did they look around. Instead, they looked towards Emperor Mingze with sparkling eyes.
Jiang Yanchuan: "..."
Jiang Yanchuan: "...Thank you for your help, my dear."
The prefect of Fengjin County was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to prepare more than ten 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 slowly moving along with the little guy's figure as he looked around.
[The bad prefect will come out to receive us himself? 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 watch this excitement?! ]
Qingliu present: “???”
The Qingliu present: “!!!”
This is not possible!
They came here today, risking Emperor Mingze getting angrier the more he ate melon, 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 himself, reached out and poked Lu Yao on the back twice, and whispered, "Aren't you known for your quick wit? Think of a solution."
"Why me?" Lu Yao froze after being poked by Lord Wang, and immediately lowered his voice, "Why not you?!"
Duke Wang paused for a moment, and smoothly turned on the "moral kidnapping" mode: "Boy, you have made so many gains along the way by relying on the little guy's wishes, and now you are not even willing to satisfy the little guy's wish?"
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 melon is yet, so -
[Alas, if the son of the bad prefect doesn't want to come out, then don't 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, "I've always heard that your son is both talented and handsome, but I wonder 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 Embroidered Uniform Guard got this false information from, but - to appear in front of Emperor Mingze with such a reputation is what many students dream of!
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 dislike it."
Jiang Yanchuan smiled slowly: "Thank you for your concern, my dear."
Zou Ziang and the maid who served the dishes walked in together.
He had obviously dressed up carefully. Regardless of his character, at this moment he looked as white as 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 frightened because he was unable to greet him in time... and a series of beautiful but false words.
Jiang Yanchuan waved his hand as usual to indicate that it was okay.
The group of people quickly took their seats at the banquet.
Jiang Yingcheng acted like he really liked this new older brother he had just met. He insisted on pulling his hand and asking him to sit on his right.
The Zou family was overjoyed and quickly agreed with great trepidation.
at the banquet.
Jiang Yingcheng made big and bold movements to reach for the food which was quite far away from her, but her eyes kept glancing secretly in the direction of Zou Ziang.
[Hey, when will he find out?] Jiang Yingcheng was a little tired from picking up the dishes, and there was a hint of grievance in his heart.
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 my! 】
【Chengcheng finally waited for it! 】
