I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

When County Magistrate Zheng heard Xu Yi's words, he was a little confused. He didn't know what they meant.

What did King Ji mean when he told him he wanted to eat fish?

"Um...Xu Yi, I wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Ji has said anything else?"

Xu Yi thought about it and shook his head.

"Your Excellency, the general only told us this, and it was His Royal Highness Prince Ji who said it himself. He didn't say anything else."

In fact, he didn't know what this sentence meant.

This was just what Xue Rengui told him when they set out.

And he was given two notes.

The magistrate of Zheng County and the county magistrate fell into deep thought. They didn't understand what the meaning of His Royal Highness Prince Ji was.

The two walked to a corner, and County Magistrate Zheng asked:

"What do you think King Ji meant by this? Is there any secret code that we haven't figured out?"

The county magistrate thought about it but was at a loss as to what to do.

"Ming Fu, I have not figured out why His Royal Highness Prince Ji said this to you.

What is the deep meaning behind this?

From the surface meaning, it means telling Mingfu Prince Ji that he wants to eat fish.

Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ji wants the Ming Mansion to send him a fish?"

The county magistrate himself felt that it couldn't be that simple.

The county magistrate was stunned when he heard this.

"what did you just say?"

"I said, I didn't guess it either."

"No, the last sentence."

The county magistrate was stunned.

"The last sentence? The last sentence, I want to ask, could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ji wants the Ming Mansion to send him a fish?"

"Pa!" County Magistrate Zheng clapped his hands and showed a look of joy.

"That's right! That's it."

"What did the Mingfu think of?"

Seeing that County Magistrate Zheng was happy, the county magistrate asked.

"Your Highness Prince Ji is just asking me for a fish."

Magistrate Zheng was quite excited.

"What? Master Ming means that His Royal Highness Prince Ji said this just to get a fish?

Did you come all the way here?"

The county magistrate was a little unconvinced.

"Haha, it's that simple. His Royal Highness Prince Ji is telling me that this matter has nothing to do with me.

Asking for fish is just giving me a chance to give you a gift."

Magistrate Zheng laughed out loud.

"So that's how it is." The county magistrate suddenly realized after hearing this.

The two men came back to the cell, and County Magistrate Zheng was smiling.

"I will certainly satisfy your Highness Prince Ji's wishes. I will immediately send someone to get some of the freshest fish and bring them to you tomorrow.

I guarantee that they are all specialties of Jimo County.

Xu Yi bowed deeply:

"Then there is Lao Mingfu."

"Hey~~? What are you talking about? It is my honor that His Royal Highness Prince Ji can ask me for fish.

There are so many people in this world who want to give gifts to His Royal Highness Prince Ji, but His Royal Highness Prince Ji won't accept them. "

Magistrate Zheng shook his head, and he finally felt relieved.

"By the way, our general also ordered that if the prefect agrees, he should give this note to the prefect. This is written by His Royal Highness Prince Ji himself."

Xu Yi took out another note and handed it to County Magistrate Zheng.

When County Magistrate Zheng opened it, his face suddenly changed.

The note clearly read, "Just wait for me, I won't forgive you, you're dead."

"this....."

Seeing the county magistrate's expression, the county assistant also leaned over to take a look and also turned pale with fright.

Could it be that they misunderstood King Ji's intentions?

At this moment, Xu Yi suddenly said:

"Um....I got the wrong note. It should be something like this."

Xu Yi handed over another one, and County Magistrate Zheng quickly took it and opened it.

It said, "You are very good. This king is very satisfied."

"This is...."

Looking at the two notes, County Magistrate Zheng was a little confused and didn't understand what they meant.

Xu Yi explained:

"Return to the Ming Mansion. I took the wrong one just now. The first one was given to the Ming Mansion when he punished us.

The second note was given to me when the prefect was handling the matter impartially."

"Oh~~That's it."

Magistrate Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he exchanged a few more pleasantries and took the county magistrate back to the government office. Before leaving, he specifically instructed the jailer,

These people cannot be neglected. All meals must be ordered from outside restaurants. The food and wine must be of good quality, and all expenses must be paid by the government.

The two returned to Magistrate Zheng's study, sat down, and each poured a cup of tea.

County Magistrate Zheng is in a very good mood now, and the gloom just now has been swept away.

"Ming Fu, it seems that His Royal Highness Prince Ji is not coming for us."

The county magistrate also said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, that's the hint given by His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

This government can finally rest assured, as long as they are not targeting us."

County Magistrate Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now when he heard the county magistrate's last words, he suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and figured it out.

However, thinking of the last two notes, County Magistrate Zheng still felt a lingering fear.

It can be seen from the two notes that Prince Ji had already made preparations for both scenarios.

If I don't make the right choice, I will be doomed.

You're dead, that's really scary.

"Mingfu, it was a close call. If it weren't for your wise judgment and your choice to believe us, we would have been in danger.

The two notes from Prince Ji were prepared in advance.

It was up to us to make the choice, which is really scary now that I think about it.”

They were truly lucky to have survived a disaster. If the county magistrate had chosen Wang, they would have been doomed to die.

“Haha, everyone says that His Royal Highness Prince Ji is extremely intelligent, able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away.

From Chang'an City, you can rule Qinghai from afar.

Initially, I did not quite believe it. After all, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is only an adult and has never been an official in the court. How could he be so experienced?

But now it seems that what was said is true, and Prince Ji is indeed a man of foresight."

Regardless of whether it was flattery or genuine, County Magistrate Zheng was full of praise for Li Shen.

"Mingfu, since Prince Ji is not coming for us, could it be that he is coming for the Wang family?"

The matter is only half clear now. It is hard to say whether this is a misunderstanding or intentional.

"What do you think? Of course he came for the Wang family. When guards go out on business, they usually put the mission first.

They won't cause trouble for fear of bringing trouble to their owners.

This time, the guards of Prince Ji's mansion had a conflict with the young lady of the Wang family. If it was a misunderstanding,

The guards would not attack the young lady of the Wang family, they would only beat the guards and servants of the Wang family.

But today, this king discovered that the Wang family guards were not injured at all, but the young lady of the Wang family was slapped in the face in public.

This government speculates that there must be some reason behind this.”

County Magistrate Zheng said with certainty.

Can't you see this?

"Then, Mr. Ming, should we inform the Wang family and do them a favor?"

The county magistrate was very thoughtful. After all, the Wang family was the local tyrant and a powerful family in the local area. If he did them a favor, it would make things easier in the future.

However, County Magistrate Zheng shook his head after hearing this.

"Don't worry, let's solve this case first, and release the guards of Prince Ji's Mansion tomorrow.

Just do it according to the redemption sentence."
