The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 699
[Chapter 699 Another letter]
There is no doubt that His Royal Highness King Kang must have strongly refuted it, and even sent the Secret Intelligence Department, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment to coordinate the investigation, with the purpose of finding out the instigator behind the assassin.
It’s a pity that after such a long time, not even a single instigator was found, let alone the assassin
, but many people still believed in King Kang.
But more people still stick to their original views.
No matter what they do, Fang Xiu has an indifferent attitude.
Is it important whether the assassin was sent by King Kang?
It didn’t matter at all to him.
The important thing is that Fang Xiu had already made a decision the moment the assassin appeared.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
Fang Xiu turned around and saw that it was Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun walked up to Fang Xiu, stood upright, bowed respectfully, then took out a letter and said, “Master, this is your Majesty’s letter.”
“Your Majesty’s letter?”
Fang Xiu was slightly startled, obviously not expecting that Emperor Chu would write to him even though he was so far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
Don’t know what it is.
Fang Xiu showed hesitation on his face.
However, no matter what, Emperor Chu’s letter cannot be avoided.
After thinking about it, I opened it and took a look.
Then
“You still need to write a letter for such a small thing?”
Fang Xiu was very depressed.
Fortunately, he thought it was something important.
Turns out it was just the sweet potatoes.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Go and get my four treasures of the study, young master.”
“Yes, young master!”
Bai Xiaochun bowed respectfully.
Fang Xiu nodded.
After a while, Bai Xiaochun sent the Four Treasures of the Study.
Fang Xiu picked up the pen and started writing.
He finished writing it quickly and said, “Send it to His Majesty.”
Bai Xiaochun nodded, picked up the letter, and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute!”
Fang Xiu called him again.
Bai Xiaochun turned to look at Fang Xiu, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, “Master, what are your orders?”
Fang Xiu took out another letter from his arms and handed it to him, waved his hand and said, “Take this letter. When it is delivered to the palace, it must be handed over to Concubine Shu. Remember, no one else can see it. “
“Yes, Master!”
Bai Xiaochun seemed to have thought of something as he looked at the letter, and was extremely shocked. But he still suppressed his shock, stretched out his hand to take it, and said respectfully.
After saying that, he turned around and left the yard.
For a time, only Fang Xiu was left in the entire courtyard.
Fang Xiu sat on the recliner and looked at Bai Xiaochun’s back. He didn’t know what he thought of and sighed leisurely.
I don’t know whether the choice I made is right or wrong.
Anyway, that’s it.
Take a step, take a look!
Thousands of miles away from the capital, outside Gusu City.
Emperor Chu was still in the suburbs, looking at those sweet potatoes.
Not far away, a group of people came in a hurry.
“Who are you? It’s forbidden to come near here!”
The guards stepped forward to stop those people.
One of them stood up, with a smile on his face, and said: “Xiaguan Xiaguan is the prefect of Gusu Prefecture. I want to meet His Majesty. Do you think it can be convenient?”
When the guard heard this, he looked up and down. She glanced at him with a look of hesitation on her face.
After thinking for a while, he said: “I’ll go and inform you. Just wait here.”
“Okay, okay!”
The prefect probably came here on the run, and he looked very tired.
The guard shook his head, said nothing more, and turned around to report.
After a while, he came back and looked at the man and said, “Your Majesty said, you can go over.”
“Okay, thank you.”
When the prefect heard this, he smiled even more happily.
He hurriedly led the people to the presence of Emperor Chu.
“I, the magistrate of Suzhou City, see your majesty!”
“I, the magistrate of Suzhou City, see your majesty!”
“Your Majesty, the magistrate of Suzhou City, see you!”
A group of people knelt on the ground.
Emperor Chu looked at them, his expression became a little strange, and he asked: “All of you are here, who is watching the Yamen now?”
“This”
The prefect obviously did not expect that His Majesty would ask this question. I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Emperor Chu looked at him, frowned, shook his head, and said: “Forget it, tell me, why do you want to see me?”
“This”
several people looked at each other and said in unison: “I and others are all I have been away from the capital for several years, and I have not seen your Majesty for a long time. I miss you very much, so I heard that your Majesty is here, so I wanted to see you
.” “I am very kind, what do you want to see?”
Emperor Chu frowned. said coldly.
Several people looked at each other again, choked and didn’t know what to say.
After a while, Emperor Chu said again: “I heard that when the Marquis of Xin’an was planting sweet potatoes here, you guys always wanted to stop him?”
After hearing this, several people looked at the sweet potatoes in the ground. I don’t understand what Emperor Chu meant by this sentence.
One by one, they all knelt on the ground, with their heads on the ground, and said loudly: “I have been wronged! I
have always been a strong supporter of Xin’an Hou’s planting of these sweet potatoes!
If nothing else, these lands were sold to me by you.” “Xin’an Hou!”
“Do you really think that I don’t know anything?” When Emperor Chu heard this, his expression became a little cold. He looked at those people and said coldly: “This is the first time that Xin’an Hou sent someone to Gusu. When we entered the city,
you tried every means to obstruct us. This land was bought with real money, but you somehow wanted to take it back.
If Linze Hou had not passed through Jiangnan when he was suppressing the rebellion, you would have been afraid of this land. You won’t let it go, right?
I didn’t care about this matter, not because you did the right thing, nor because I supported you,
but because Xin’an Hou was generous and didn’t mention this matter to me
. The harvest this year is pretty good.
I didn’t care about you, but you still want to take credit from me? To be
honest
, I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!”
, those people were all shocked.
At the same time, a deep fear arose in my heart.
Your Majesty really knows everything?
For a moment, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word, and allowed His Majesty to accuse them.
After a while.
Seeing that Emperor Chu didn’t speak, they all shouted in unison: “I’m waiting for death!”
Unexpectedly, this sentence actually made Emperor Chu angry again.
“Wan Shi, Wan Shi. If I really let you die, you will have to ask Your Majesty to spare my life!
I have gone too far with these tricks of yours!
I just said one sentence .
Do you know that I am wrong?”
“I know my mistake!”
several people said hurriedly.
Emperor Chu looked at them, snorted coldly, and waved his hand: “Now that I know my mistake, there are still countless sweet potatoes here. You can take your hoes and help the farmers work!”
