Chapter 89: City Lord Wang's Farewell
"Please invite City Lord Wang and the captain in quickly," Meixiang ordered, and then gave Feng Yizheng an urging look. The latter nodded, turned around and instructed Chen Da, who came into the room with Xiao San.
"Greetings, Princess, and all the young masters." City Lord Wang and the captain walked in and looked up to see Mei Xiang and Feng Yizheng sitting side by side on the left, Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong sitting on the right opposite them. They were stunned for a moment before they saluted.
Meixiang saw the two of them were stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, saying with a smile: "No need to be polite, just sit anywhere, just treat it like your own home, no need to be formal."
The city lord and the captain were stunned again when they heard this. This princess was someone whose knowledge of her was refreshed every time they met her. After looking at each other, they sat down at the lower seat of Situ Yidong on the right side. Xiao San brought the tea bowl appropriately, and Chen Da also returned to the reception room and stood behind Feng Yizheng again.
Feng Yizhen and Feng Yishuang came out in a hurry and did not bring their children with them to Liuzhou Prefecture. After the turn of the day, Chen Da temporarily acted as Feng Yizhen's child when he had nothing else to do. As for Feng Yishuang, she is still following Situ Yidong and Doctor Wang as their child.
City Lord Wang coughed lightly and said, "Princess, gentlemen, I am here to say goodbye today."
"Have you packed your luggage? Have you sent anyone over from the capital in advance?"
"Everything has been arranged. Thank you for your concern, Princess." The captain said.
"That's good. If you have any problems in the future, please write to me. After all, you have stayed in Liuzhou Prefecture for such a long time that you must have some feelings for me, right?" Meixiang said with a smile.
After hearing this, City Lord Wang and the captain nodded repeatedly. Although Liuzhou Prefecture was located in a remote area with a developed economy, as the lord of a city and the head of tens of thousands of prefectural troops, they had real power. When they arrived in the capital, everything was unknown. The two of them were reluctant to leave, and they became even more sad after Meixiang said this.
"The princess is right. I've spent such a long time in Liuzhou Prefecture that I've developed feelings for it. I feel reluctant to leave so suddenly." The captain, a rough man in the military camp, said this with his voice choked with sobs.
"Who says it's not? This is human nature, and it's understandable." Feng Yizhen continued with a smile, "When you two leave later, remember to go to the household office to complete the formalities and collect your salary for the first half of the year."
City Lord Wang and the captain opened their mouths in shock, not knowing how to respond. They knew that Liuzhou Prefecture's funds had not been allocated for today, and no one knew better than them how much silver was left in the treasury. Why were they asked to withdraw their salaries now?
The two turned their eyes to Meixiang's direction, "Princess, hasn't the Ministry of Revenue allocated the funds for the first half of this year yet?"
Meixiang nodded, put down the tea bowl in her hand, crossed her hands on her abdomen, looked back at their gazes, and said seriously: "The Ministry of Revenue has not yet allocated silver, but your family needs to eat. Besides, there will be a lot of things you need to buy when you go to the capital, so it's time to use silver. You should withdraw it before you leave. I will find a way to deal with the rest."
After a pause, he continued, "But I want you to remember one thing. Once you leave Liuzhou Prefecture, you will always be a part of Liuzhou Prefecture. This will never change at any time."
When the city lord Wang and the captain heard this, they immediately felt very touched and knelt down to thank him: "We are following the instructions of the princess. Thank you, princess."
After the two said goodbye and left, Meixiang and the other three continued to discuss the topic that was interrupted.
"These two old foxes are quite interesting. Look at how they seem to want to say something but hesitate. Did you see it, sister Xiang'er? If eyes could speak, I guess the three of us would be overwhelmed. Hahaha..." Situ Yidun was so happy that he slapped his thigh.
Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming also smiled knowingly. With their status, if they wanted to ask even one of them for a word, they would be able to "walk sideways" in the capital, at least they would have less trouble. But they were not as kind-hearted as Sister Xiang'er, so the three of them pretended not to see it.
"You are really amazing, hahaha." Mei Xiang continued to ask with a smile: "Did City Lord Wang and his family always live in the inner courtyard of this City Lord's Mansion?"
Everyone looked at Situ Yidong, because he was the only one who had lived in the City Lord's Mansion for a period of time. Although Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming were working in the government office these days, they were only in the outermost office area and had never set foot in other places. After leaving the office, they immediately returned to Liu Mansion and did not stay there for a moment. After all, City Lord Wang's crazy daughter was still a little scary.
"Yes, this city lord's mansion is a large house with three courtyards. The one we are in is the office area. The yamen and the directors of each department are all here. The second courtyard is the guest room. The third courtyard at the innermost is where the city lord lives. The women also live in the third courtyard. The back door of the city lord's mansion is also located there."
Mei Xiang then asked, "What kind of guards are there in the City Lord's Mansion? How are the shifts arranged? How are the patrols in the city arranged? Are there any patrols arranged outside the city?"
She bombarded Feng Yizheng, Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong with a series of questions, and this time it was Feng Yizheng, Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong who were dumbfounded. "Sister Xiang'er, can you please slow down a little? You're leaving me no time to answer." Situ Yidong shouted hurriedly after he realized what was happening.
He took a deep breath, re-thought the answer in his mind, and then answered: "First of all, the City Lord's Mansion does not have any special guards. There are only eight yamen runners and two gatekeepers who take turns living in the yamen. The women in the inner courtyard are taken care of by City Lord Wang's own maids and guards."
Situ Yidong paused to drink a sip of tea and then continued, "There should be no special personnel arranged to patrol the city, only two palace runners who are responsible for patrolling every day. As for the outside of the city, as far as I know, there are no arrangements. Brother Feng, Brother Chu, is this what I said?"
Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming listened to his words and nodded after thinking about it. Chu Zeming continued Situ Yidong's words and said, "It is indeed as Brother Situ said. I think it may be because Liuzhou Prefecture is located in a remote area, so these arrangements have not been made. Fortunately, nothing serious has happened."
"How do you arrange the daily lives of the 7,000 people in your military camp?" Meixiang asked Situ Yidong after listening to their words.
"Normally, we train for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon."
"And then? Nothing?"
"What then? That's all!"
