The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 500

[Chapter 500: Inspection]

Could it be that the old emperor had entrusted him with a matter so solemnly? Fang Xiu was also very serious. Without any hesitation, he handed over his hand and said: “I will definitely live up to your majesty’s trust!”

Emperor Chu saw this scene. , with a warm expression on his face, nodded and said: “It’s a long way to the west of the Central Plains. I don’t know how many difficulties and obstacles we have to go through during this period. You must be careful

in everything.” The old emperor’s expression did not change much, and his tone revealed The concern he showed was genuine.

After Fang Xiu heard this, he felt a little warmer in his heart. He nodded and said, “I understand, thank you, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Chu looked at him and seemed to have thought of something else. He warned, “The three roads in the Central Plains are not as good as those in the capital.” Although the imperial court has provided disaster relief, there are still lingering dangers of famine. When you get there, you can no longer act as arrogantly as you did in the capital.

In addition, I will send a team of guards from the pro-junfu to go with you to protect you.

Okay, that’s all I have to say. No matter

how

much I say, I’m afraid I’ll annoy you. In short, it’s best to be careful. After a while, I will draft an edict in three days at the latest. Let’s go as the inspector of the Central Plains Road. “

The inspector is a relatively special position in the Chu State. Its nominal responsibilities are to inspect various provinces, evaluate the administration of officials, and be in charge of criminal law matters within a range.

In addition, there is also a part of the responsibility of supervising the censor.

However, there are already punishment envoys, legal envoys, etc. within one group, as well as Jiedu envoys and censors sent to the local areas by the Supervisory Council.

The position of Inspector General has become a very useless position. He can take charge of everything, but in fact few people listen to him.

In the end, the imperial court simply stopped setting up local inspectors and regarded it as a position that only existed on the roster of the Ministry of Rites.

Over time, it gradually evolved into a position similar to that of a ‘special envoy’.

If there is any decision made in the court and someone needs to go to a certain road to do things, this envoy will come in handy.

Like Jiedushi, he was a third-rank official, but he had no real power. After finishing his work and returning to the capital, this temporary position would usually be withdrawn.

“Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, what you said is also very meaningful. After listening to it, I really felt that”

before he finished speaking, he heard Emperor Chu say: “If you say these words again, I can’t guarantee that your three hundred thousand taels of silver will be used.” I’m really thinking about it.”

After hearing this, Fang Xiu said hurriedly: “You must take care of yourself these days when I’m not around. Please leave first!”

After that, he turned around and left Nuange without stopping at all.

Emperor Chu was sitting on the dragon chair. When he saw this scene, he laughed dumbly, shook his head, and said nothing more.

Instead, he lowered his head to look at the memorial on the desk, and frowned slightly subconsciously.

I hope that the situation in the Three Central Plains Roads has not reached the point mentioned in the report submitted by the factory guard

before he walked out of the palace, still lowering his head, thinking about the previous things.

Since I came to this world, I have never left the capital. To be precise, I have never left the city of Kyoto.

The furthest trip was to the outskirts of the city to catch some crayfish.

This time, I have to leave the capital and go to the completely unfamiliar West Road of the Central Plains. I really need to think carefully about what I need to prepare for this journey.

Apart from anything else, the weather is getting colder and colder, so you must prepare more small stoves and charcoal fires.

The old emperor said that he wanted to transfer a team of guards to the Qinjun Mansion, but he didn’t know if he could choose from the Qianjun Mansion, and he didn’t know if he could bring others with him.

When he thought of leaving his heated room, he sat down. As he drove the bumpy carriage to the Central Plains West Road, which was a hundred miles away, Fang Xiu felt a little depressed.

If you had just come to this world, you would still feel excited and excited, plus some curiosity.

However, after staying in the capital for such a long time, he already had a pretty good idea of what this world was like.

The same is probably true for other places. There is really nothing worth exploring. It is better to stay in your own comfortable nest and read quietly.

Of course, the more important thing is to play cards.

Fang Xiu thought this and raised his eyes, but was shocked.

I don’t know when, dozens of people appeared in front of me, all of them were staring at me with very strange smiles.

“Who are you? What are you doing here? Let me tell you, this is the imperial palace, and there is a pro-military camp a hundred steps away. Even though there are so many of you now,”

Fang Xiu subconsciously thought that these guys were imprisoned in the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen because of him. The merchants came to seek revenge from him. While talking to delay, they slowly stepped back, hoping that the soldiers at the palace gate would notice the movement here.

When the dozens of people in front of them saw this scene, they laughed even more weirdly. Some of them seemed to be flattering, and some of them seemed to be crying?

Fang Xiu looked at them and always felt a little strange.

Fortunately, it was daytime now. If I saw this scene at night, I would be scared to death.

“Don’t be afraid, Xin’an Bo. We are all merchants doing business in the capital. We came to you this time to discuss something with you.”

At this time, someone in the crowd finally spoke.

However, his voice was extremely low.

Apparently he was worried about attracting the attention of the pro-soldiers guarding the gate.

According to the regulations, those who make loud noises, stir up trouble in front of the palace will be imprisoned for up to one year and must pay a fine of one hundred taels of silver.

When Fang Xiu heard this, he glanced at them and saw a few familiar faces among the crowd. He immediately felt relieved and asked, “Since you have something to do with me, why didn’t you come to my house?”

Before speaking, When the man heard this, he showed a bitter look on his face and said: “The young people did arrive at the uncle’s house first, but after waiting for a long time, they still couldn’t see anyone in the uncle’s house. Finally, we finally saw them. Manager Bai of the Mansion.

Without saying a word, Manager Bai let the dogs bite the children. The children were helpless. I heard that someone saw you entering the palace this morning, so I am waiting for you here. I hope I can see you.”

When he said this, the man of several decades showed an aggrieved expression on his face.

The people next to him seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions had changed more or less. They were either sad, ashamed or angry, or aggrieved like him.

Fang Xiu also felt a little embarrassed when he saw this scene.

Although all the money from Baolefang has been repaid, he is still a little worried, always worried that there will be unscrupulous people seeking revenge.

He then told the servants in the mansion that if they saw a businessman-like person in front of the mansion who wanted to see him, and if they repeatedly tried to stop him but to no avail, they could release the dog.

For this reason, Bai Xiaochun went to the outskirts to find a big wolf dog and tied it up not far from the house gate.
