King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 44 Oral Instruction
When the time came to the next day, the inspector did not issue a "subpoena", so Xue Pan went to Jia Yucun's mansion with a gift.

When he had a secret conversation with Jia Yucun, after a day of fermentation, the case tried by the procurator further spread among the people.

Previously, the Xue family's reputation in Yingtian was not very good. Knowing that the Xue family was fighting for the ordinary people, the people of Yingtian changed their views on the Xue family.

It has been a rare thing since ancient times to dare to sue officials to the court for the sake of ordinary people.

"It seems that most of the rumors I heard before are false... Mr. Xue is a good man!"

"Now it seems that the Xue family has a successor!"

"But I heard that a few days ago, the Xue family uncle used force in the street, and it seems that he even killed someone!"

"I'm afraid someone is exaggerating. Is it okay to kill people in the street?"

"Thinking about it, how could Uncle Xue, who is outspoken today, kill people!"

In the streets and alleys, discussions about the Xue family can be heard everywhere, Xue Pan at this time is no different from the top of the Yingtian Mansion.

"You said... can the Xue family win the lawsuit this time?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Since ancient times, officials and officials have protected each other. No matter how rich the Xue family is, they will not be able to match them!"

This statement has been generally agreed, but some people in the crowd have different opinions.

"That's not necessarily true. It's true that officials and officials protect each other, but now in Yingtian City, there is a prince sitting in charge!"

"Who is the crown prince? That is the long live emperor of the future, won't he be the master for our people?"

Obviously, those who said these words among the common people were sent by Zhu Jinghong to guide public opinion.

These people are all soldiers from the Beijing camp, and have no interest in the Jinling area. It is reliable to rely on them to spread "rumours".

"I've heard that the emperor sent the crown prince to Jinling this time to punish these corrupt officials!"

"Why does Uncle Xue, who knows someone, dare to sue the officials?"

"Why?" The common people questioned, they were really curious.

"It's because Uncle Xue knows that the Crown Prince is fair and will give justice to our people!"

"Okay... this is great!"

"With the crown prince in charge, we don't have to worry about losing the lawsuit!"

"This gang of dog officials should have been punished a long time ago!"

"Long live the emperor, Shengming..."

This is the people of today. They may be shrewd and philistine, but they still believe in the wise king and the virtuous ruler, and only think that officials are bad.

The situation on the street corner at this moment is playing out in various places in Yingtianfu, and public opinion is developing in the direction Zhu Jinghong expected.

After traveling for a few months, he has already started to transform the world in his own way.

But at this moment, he was wearing a more formal round-neck gown with four dragon and cloud patterns, a black gauze winged crown and Zhu Jingyuan standing at the gate of the palace.

Behind the two of them are the guards of the Dragon Guards and a large number of guards of honor.

The two of them got the news half an hour ago that the imperial envoy from the capital had entered the city, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly prepared to receive the order.

After the arrangements were made, the two of them had been waiting outside the palace gate for more than ten minutes, but the imperial envoy hadn't shown up yet, which made Zhu Jingyuan anxious.

He was afraid that the imperial envoy would bring his father to question him, and he was even more afraid that his errands would not be handled properly, which would make his father completely disappointed in him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan felt dry mouth, so he looked at his brother beside him.

To his surprise, Zhu Jinghong was in a daze at the moment, with a smile on his lips.

"Thirteenth brother, what are you thinking?" Zhu Jingyuan asked curiously.

Awakened by his words, Zhu Jinghong said seriously: "Fourth brother, do you know what love is?"

"What do you love or not? Could it be that you have heard something you shouldn't have heard, or seen something you shouldn't have seen?" Zhu Jingyuan put on a serious face, he was very worried that Zhu Jinghong would learn bad things.

In this era, no one would say clearly whether they love or not, this is a very outrageous statement.

Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan couldn't understand, Zhu Jinghong said again: "Then fourth brother...do you know what love at first sight is?"

"Which girl do you...have a crush on?"

"That's it!"

"Whose family?" Zhu Jingyuan felt gossip.

The teenager is also pregnant with spring, he also experienced it back then, but he didn't think there was anything.

Although it was a joke, Zhu Jinghong was still worried about talking nonsense about the villainous girl Qing Yu in this era of ethics and defense, so he prevaricated: "I was out of the palace before, and I met on the street. I don't know whose girl it is!"

Zhu Jingyuan would never have thought that his own brother would lie to him, and then said: "Then she must be a great beauty?"

Talking about these things made him feel more relaxed, so Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"It looks okay..."

While talking, Zhu Jinghong kept trying to describe, and the scene he saw when the wind rolled up the curtain emerged in his mind.

Immersed in it, Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "How do you say that poem... If you don't meet at Qunyu Mountain, you will meet at Yaotai!"

This really surprised Zhu Jingyuan. In his impression, Zhu Jinghong only likes to practice martial arts, and basically escapes when he can read books. For this reason, he was often beaten by his father.

It really seems unreal that such a scumbag should read a poem that fits the occasion at this time.

"By the way, fourth brother, how do you read the first two lines of this poem?"

Well, just this sentence brought back Zhu Jingyuan's impression that the old thirteen was still the same old thirteen.

"Yun Xiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold of Revlon. If it weren't for the mountains of jade..."

"Fourth brother, this Du Fu is worthy of being a poet sage. He can write such good poems. I don't know how beautiful Wu Meiniang was back then!"

Zhu Jingyuan was dumbfounded by these words. He originally wanted to correct him, but after thinking about it, he finally forgot.

"Thirteenth brother, I should read more books in the future!" Zhu Jingyuan smiled wryly.

"What's the use of reading well? Tang Taizong is a wise king, right? Du Fu is talented, right? The latter hasn't lived a mediocre life!" Zhu Jinghong said indifferently.

Hearing this, the officials blushed, but luckily they held back their laughter.

Zhu Jingyuan was also helpless, but he didn't want to say more at this time.

"His Royal Highness, the imperial envoy has arrived at the gate of the outer palace!" A eunuch rushed over.

It took less than a few minutes to walk from the outer palace gate to where they were standing, Zhu Jingyuan became nervous again after hearing this.

Even Zhu Jinghong, who was dreaming, felt a little uneasy at the moment, so he could only blame his predecessor for not living up to expectations.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes came from outside, and more than a dozen horsemen were seen approaching quickly.

After the person approached, Zhu Jinghong saw clearly that this person was an eunuch, and felt that he was good at Fang Fang but didn't know his identity.

"It turned out to be Hu Zhangban!" Zhu Jingyuan spoke first.

The person who came was Hu Yongquan, one of the eunuchs in charge of the East Factory, and a loyal dog who defended the imperial power.

"Prince, the Lord has an oracle!"

Zhu Jingyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I pay my respects to my father!"

As Zhu Jingyuan knelt down, everyone around him knelt on the ground, including Zhu Jinghong who went to do as the Romans did.

At this time, Hu Yongquan represented the emperor, and he straightened his back and said, "Saint Gongan!"

"His Majesty ordered..."

"Prince, I asked you to come to Jinling to fight the Japanese. Now it has been more than twenty years. What achievements have you made?"

"If you feel incompetent, return to the capital earlier, don't delay my important affairs!"

Hearing the oral order to belittle him, and then contacting the majestic and terrifying emperor in his previous impression, Zhu Jinghong felt sorry for his fourth brother for a while.

He has been strictly disciplined since he was a child, and he was never allowed to make the slightest mistake. He has never been praised by his father, and it is really not easy to have normal three views.

Fortunately, I came here through time travel, so I won't be affected by the emperor's majesty... Zhu Jinghong secretly rejoiced.

"Old Thirteen..."

It was not easy to pity the prince just now, but when he heard Hu Yongquan calling him in a cold tone, Zhu Jinghong shivered in the hot weather.
