atypical beauty

"What nonsense?" Xu Zhoumu blushed, and asked the three attendants to hold down the scholar, "I personally supervised the building of the medical clinic, and you dare to slander me in the downtown area, what should you do?"

??People saw that Zhou Mu was actually behind him. Those who laughed just now didn't dare to speak anymore. They watched silently as the terrified scholar was brought over and put in front of the two adults.

??The imperial envoy had just finished praising Xu Zhoumu, when this happened, his face was quite embarrassed, and he looked at the long-clothed scholar who was pressed in front of him, "His Royal Highness is still in the city?" He originally thought that the prince was just here for a formality To claim the credit, he should have set off to return to Beijing long ago, but he didn't expect that he hadn't returned yet, "I should go to pay a visit to His Highness, it's too impolite."

?? Hearing the crown prince, the scholar's face brightened a little, and he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness has been staying in a house near the medical hall. Brother Xiaosheng is the doctor in the medical hall. He once said that it was thanks to His Highness's prescription that he could come out so quickly."

?? Xu Zhoumu had a solemn face, and he stopped and said: "His Royal Highness personally inspected, it is indeed exciting, but he has only been here for more than a month, and the epidemic has appeared as early as three months ago! Even if you want to seek fame from His Highness, you You don't have to be so eager for quick success."

??The scholar's face was flushed by the words, and he couldn't help arguing: "Xiaosheng already has fame and fame, and he will go to office soon. Why should he flatter him? My lord misunderstood."

?? There were also loud applause from the crowd, and a child with an immature voice shouted "Bastard".A group of patrolling guards ran over and surrounded the downtown area, shouting "Quiet".

??The leading patrol captain saluted Xu Zhoumu and the imperial envoy and asked: "My lord, what's the situation here? I can hear someone shouting and cursing from a distance. Do you want to be detained and wait for punishment?"

?? Xu Zhoumu's eyes were gloomy, and he tried his best to maintain a calm face next to the imperial envoy, "There is also this stinky scholar who talks nonsense, let's take him down for a trial first, and I want to see who it is. The relationship between officials and common people is simply shameless and wolf-hearted!"

??The patrol captain signaled the people next to him to go up and arrest the scholar who was held down, and then walked to the crowd, pointing out the child who had just insulted the state shepherd in the street, "Take it back."

?? "Wait." A voice came from outside the crowd, like broken jade hitting a stone, clear and hoarse.When the people with sad faces heard the voice, their expressions lifted, and they all turned their heads and bowed down to salute.The mother holding the baby also let the baby watch quietly with a smile on her face.

??The guards who were about to take away the children in the crowd stopped their movements, knelt down with their hands folded, and said with a voice like a bell, "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

?? Seeing this, the imperial envoy couldn't help but look back, and saw the prince walking with bamboo slips in his hand and sleeves folded. The crowd was as clear as ice and snow.He hurriedly saluted, and said the anxious words in his heart: "See Your Highness. I didn't know that His Highness was also in the city. If I didn't pay my respects, I'm guilty of a crime."

??Xu Zhoumu also saluted, and urged, "Don't drive these people away, don't spoil His Highness the Crown Prince's audiovisual."

?? "Master Xu has such great authority," Ye Fanxing interrupted him, his face was cold and his eyes were frosty, "Do you keep shouting at you?"

"Your Highness doesn't know something," Xu Zhoumu said with a bitter face, "These untouchables are insulting officials in the downtown area. If the people behind them are not interrogated, people's hearts will be hard to calm down in the future. In the current severe drought, His Royal Highness can just leave Returning to Beijing, the lower officials have to think about the countless people in the border towns!"

?? What he said was powerful and forceful, and he was devoted to the common people.The suspicious imperial envoy next to him also softened his expression, and said, "Your Highness, the law of this court does have its own words, and insulting court officials in the street should be punished according to the law."

??Xia Haici came slowly from behind, shook the cloak in his hands and pressed the prince's shoulders, raised his head and smiled at Xu Zhoumu, his baby face looked very harmless.

??Xu Zhoumu felt the pain of a splitting headache again, covered his head in full view and shouted: "Who are you?" The voice was so loud that the imperial envoy next to him also took two steps back in shock. Get away from him a bit.

"Bah," in front of the prince, the scholar's original fear dissipated a lot, and he said with righteous indignation, "No one touches you, you can't take credit for it, and you still slander His Highness, it's really a shame for my generation of scholars."

??People have recovered from their initial fear of the city guards. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing here, the awe established during this period of time overwhelmed the fear, and they all echoed the scholar's words.

??The father of the child before quickly pulled his child back from the guards, and said, "I just scolded you bastard. There are so many people here, how do you know who you are scolding?"

??Xia Haici smiled, "That makes sense."

??Xu Zhoumu still wanted to have an attack, but his headache was so severe that he couldn't speak, so he could only grit his teeth and stare angrily at everyone.

??Knowing that it was Xia Haici who did it, Ye Fanxing didn't say anything, but calmly pressed his hand.Xia Haici pretended not to know, and even held hands backwards, and asked with a smile: "I didn't do anything, what does Your Highness want me to do?"

Amidst the questioning voices of the common people, Xu Zhoumu was full of veins, gritted his teeth and pointed at the army guarding the city: "Why are you still standing there in a daze, why haven't you arrested these rebellious untouchables? I have devoted myself to drought and epidemics, how can I tolerate these things?" The villain slanders!"

?? A team of guards looked at Ye Fanxing hesitantly, but did not move immediately.Among them, some family members were treated by the Epidemic Medical Center. Although they had to obey Xu Zhoumu's orders, they were not willing.Under Xu Zhoumu's stern urging, finally a person walked towards the crowd.

"It seems that Gu really can't control Mr. Xu anymore, but the city guards don't have a token to transfer orders, so do they have to obey the adults?" Ye Fanxing said, taking out a token from his sleeve.

??Even in the frontier, the summer here is already strong. The summer wind blows through the hair under the jade crown of the young prince.The people around gradually stopped their voices, and their expressions were convinced and enthusiastic.

?? Seeing this situation, even if he still had doubts, the imperial envoy could tell that this Xuzhou Mu had offended His Highness the Crown Prince. Thinking of the rumors in Beijing, he stepped back a bit, and said flatly: "Before It's the minister who didn't notice and offended His Highness. Whatever His Highness wants to do, the minister will fully support it."

"My lord envoy!" Xu Zhoumu was shocked, and his face, which was already flushed with anger, turned pale and white for a while, "The emperor sent you to supervise the disaster relief, you must deal with it fairly!" He looked at Ye Fanxing again, deadpan Staring at the token, "This is, where did His Highness get it?"

"You don't care how Gu got it," Ye Fanxing said with a calm expression, "You don't have the token of the command and defense army now, and your orders can't control them, so you can settle the score with Master Xu."

"What account?" Xu Zhoumu had faintly sensed that something was wrong, and forced a smile, half flattering and half hinting, "Your Highness was sent out this time by His Majesty, and he was actually transferred out of the capital for disaster relief. It's inevitable. The Xu family is going to wash away all the troubles of the past for His Highness, so I don't know if His Highness would like to attend the banquet?"

??The meaning of these words is already obvious. Even though he is far away in the frontier, Xu Zhoumu has already known the position of the crown prince not long ago, so he used his family behind him to win over the crown prince.

??Even the imperial envoy who was standing far away from Mingzhe couldn't help but look subtle, "Master Xu, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Why call out of the capital? Your Highness is here to help in disaster relief." He sent two helpers Words accentuate the sound.

??But Xu Zhoumu, who was deprived of the token of the city guard army, was too anxious to hear the hints in his words, and couldn't stop smiling at the crown prince, "Your Highness, what do you think? This token... Your Highness will have an exchange with the lower officials." Just kidding."

??Xia Haici saw this bad old man keep flattering him, and felt nauseated for a while. He almost couldn't help it and wanted to do something secretly to make him calm down.Ye Fanxing turned his head to look at him, with a slight smile on his clear brows, and his mood suddenly changed for the better.

"Going to the banquet?" Ye Fanxing turned back, seemed to be in deep thought, and repeated what Xu Zhoumu said.

"Exactly," a follower behind Xu Zhoumu had left at some point. Seeing that Ye Fanxing was no longer aggressive, he was determined, "The lower officials have sent someone to Xu's family to spread the word, and we must hold the reception banquet for His Highness in a good manner." It's beautiful!"

??When the people around saw that the two had already talked about the reception banquet, they were all surprised and looked at it blankly. Even the scholar who had been wronged by the prince before was a little uneasy, and did not dare to speak out rashly.The imperial envoy couldn't help frowning, the balance in his heart tilted slightly.

??At this moment, the prince finally raised his eyes, looked around the tense crowd, and finally looked at Xu Zhoumu.

???

"What Your Highness said is very true!" The scholar, who was originally worried, blushed, and looked at Xu Zhoumu with disgust, "Xu Chengting, I am ashamed to be a scholar with you."

??This unconventional and generous statement attracted all the people who were watching nearby. Under the long-standing public anger, some people pointed at Xu Zhoumu and denounced him.The child in his father's arms clapped his hands and giggled.

"It's wrong! It's wrong!" Xu Zhoumu twisted his face at the child, and took a deep breath, "I came from the Xu family, and the Xu family..."

?? "Look at this ledger." Xia Haici said, throwing the ledger in his arms to his face.

??Xu Chengting's face turned blue and then pale. He stretched out his hand to catch the ledger that had slid down, and turned a few pages. His face was already pale with anger, and he was about to tear it up, but he didn't know whether it was because he was too nervous or what, his hands were shaking violently , not only couldn't tear it off, but also let the ledger fall from his hands.

??The imperial envoy noticed something was wrong, so he hurried over to pick it up, took a look, it was full of evidence of Xu Chengting and his subordinates embezzling disaster relief funds, and said angrily: "How dare you greedy ink relief supplies! Worms are rotten, I must truthfully report this matter to the Holy Majesty!"

?? There was an uproar among the crowd. Although they had known for a long time that the bureaucrats must have embezzled the silver grains they sent, people did not expect that they actually wrote down the crimes, and the blood and tears of the victims were unknown in the thick book.It was extremely rampant, too numerous to write down!

?? After everything was uncovered, Xu Chengting calmed down instead, and continued: "The Xu family has been loyal for generations. From the ancestors, they have gone through fire and water for the Ye Dynasty. You have the iron certificate of the Danshu left by the late emperor, you have no right to dispose of it!"

?? "Your Highness has the right," the envoy sneered, "I am well-informed as an adult, so it turns out that is nothing more than that."

"What do you mean?" Xu Chengting frowned, "Could it be that His Highness is really going to risk the world, ignore the emperor's order, and kill the donkey?"

?? "Your Highness this time," the imperial envoy said coldly with a blank face due to anger, "he came with Shang Fang's sword, and has the right to punish on behalf of the emperor, beheading first and then playing!"

?? A loud noise suddenly erupted from the crowd. Xu Chengting stayed where he was for a while, then sat down with a face ashamed, sweating all over his head, and didn't bother to wipe it off.

??The attendant who hurried back saw his lord's embarrassed appearance, and turned pale with fright, "My lord, is there any discomfort? It's all these unruly people, and the crime cannot be punished!"

?? "Tsk," Xia Haici said with a smile, "The dog is in the power of the man, and the man is down, what should the dog do?"
