If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 252 Qufu County Magistrate
As soon as Zhu Zhanquan returned to Bieyuan, he received a report from his servant: "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Qufu County has been waiting for an audience for a long time."

"Qufu County Magistrate? Let him wait for a while, and I will see him after washing up." Zhu Zhanquan was a little surprised, but after just a little calculation, he knew the other party's intention to see him, so he decided to see this person. The parents of Qufu.

After saying that, Zhu Zhanju turned to look at Lan Qier and said to her: "I have been running outside all day, and my body is covered with dust. You go to rest first, and I will ask Shanxiang to prepare a bath for you."

After saying that, Zhu Zhanqi glanced at Hu Shanxiang.

Without his instructions, Hu Shanxiang had already bowed his head and started to order his subordinates to prepare.

At this time, Lan Qier also understood that she was not suitable to accompany Zhu Zhanqun to meet guests. During this period of study, she had already understood a lot of the rules of the Ming Dynasty. She knew that women in the Ming Dynasty would not easily go to meet guests unless they were Necessary for special occasions, or a very familiar family favorite.

But after all, she is a child of the grassland, and she is very courageous. After Zhu Zhanyu asked Hu Shanxiang to prepare a bath for her, she looked at Zhu Zhanyu with a shy look and invited him: "Won't you take a bath together, Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the servants on the side quickly lowered their heads and looked at their noses and hearts, as if they had heard nothing.

Just kidding, how could they listen to the love talk between the prince and his future concubine?If any bad rumors spread, these servants might be buried in the ground.

"We're not married yet, so it's unreasonable." Zhu Zhanjun didn't show any interest in this. On the one hand, it was indeed unreasonable, and on the other hand, he also wanted to worry about the dragon girl who was still in his body.

Sure enough, after Zhu Zhanjun rejected Lan Qier's invitation to bathe together, the dragon girl's chuckle and teasing could be heard in his ears.

Lan Qier's face was filled with embarrassment after being rejected by Zhu Zhankun, and she ran away with a red face.

While Zhu Zhanyu was coping with the Dragon Girl's teasing in his heart, he also cleaned his cheeks and hands under the service of his servant. After changing his clothes, he saw the Qufu County Magistrate who came to see him.

"Meet the prince!" The Qufu County Magistrate, who had been waiting all day since the morning, hurriedly saluted Zhu Zhanqi who finally saw him.

Zhu Zhanquan waved his hand to show off his courtesy, sat down on the main seat, and then asked the Qufu County Magistrate: "I didn't know that the county magistrate came to visit today. I took my female family members out of the city to ride horses alone, and kept the county magistrate waiting for a long time. I'm rude. I don't know. Why does the county magistrate ask to see Gusuo?"

Zhu Zhanyun was polite to the Qufu County Magistrate, but the Qufu County Magistrate did not dare to really act like a county magistrate in front of Zhu Zhanyun.

Not to mention what airs a mere county magistrate has to put on, even if he has airs, how can he dare to put on airs in front of a prince?

So after Zhu Zhanyuan spoke, the Qufu County Magistrate immediately lowered his head and bowed his back respectfully and said to Zhu Zhanyun: "Returning to the prince, something as big as the assassination of the emperor has happened in Qufu, and the whole city should be killed, but now The assassin has been caught, why do we need to seal off the four gates of Qufu? Moreover, the Jin Yiwei sent out to arrest the person..."

Having said this, the Qufu County Magistrate paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then asked Zhu Zhanjun for instructions: "Now the people in Qufu City are panicked, the people are frightened, and even their daily livelihood has been greatly affected.

Therefore, when the official came to ask the prince to tell me, when will this matter be settled?The lower officials might as well post notices to calm the people in the city, so that the people in the city can feel at ease, so as to avoid unrest in the people's hearts and cause unnecessary chaos. "

Hearing this, the expression on Zhu Zhanchun's face turned into mockery.Although the Qufu County Magistrate cannot be said to be a corrupt official who exploits and exploits the people's bones, he can basically be labeled as mediocre and incompetent.

To say that he pleads for the people and cares about the livelihood of the people in Qufu City?Maybe, but certainly not many.

He came to ask because he was really concerned about when the days when the four gates of Dasuo and Qufu in the city would be closed would end.

After all, this is ancient times, not future generations. In later generations, city closures have such a great impact on the lives of ordinary people. In this era when people may have no food left, if the city is closed for a longer time, people will really starve to death.

But for the Qufu County Magistrate, he is more concerned about his own official career.

In the final analysis, in the eyes of these officials, the life and death of ordinary people is important, but it is not that important compared to their own life and death.

The real purpose of the Qufu County Magistrate coming to ask about this matter was actually to find out how far Jin Yiwei's search would go, and whether he himself would be caught.

The Kong family is still being imprisoned, and Jin Yiwei is searching the whole city again, looking like he is going to start a big case. If he is found, he may have to go to Jin Yiwei's prison. .

And the imperial edict of Jin Yiwei?You can only go in vertically and come out horizontally. How can this not make the Qufu County Magistrate feel nervous and worried?

Faced with this question from the Qufu County Magistrate, Zhu Zhanquan did not pay attention, but said casually: "Gu received news a few days ago that someone was spreading rumors in Nanjing, saying that Gu had insulted the Kong family and that led to the assassination of the emperor. He said that he wanted to encourage the students of the Imperial College to beat Wen Deng drum.

These rumors made the emperor furious, and he issued a death order to Commander Ji of Jinyiwei. If the mastermind behind the scenes could not be caught within three days, Ji Gang would be killed.

So when this city-wide massacre will end, it depends on when the Jin Yiwei can catch someone. "

At this point, Zhu Zhanquan raised his eyes and glanced at the already trembling Qufu County Magistrate, and said to him: "If the county magistrate knows something, or feels that someone is suspicious, he might as well tell the Discipline Commander, or report it to the imperial court. It would be better if you put some effort and make some contribution to the people of Qufu, so that Commander Ji would not have to search and arrest him laboriously, and the mastermind behind the scenes could escape in the end.

By that time, it won't be the Jin Yiwei who are hunting and arresting people. "

Zhu Zhanjun did not say who would take over the case if Jin Yiwei had not arrested the person, but it was obvious that these words alone had frightened the Qufu County Magistrate so much that it would be useless to say anything in fear.

But in the end, he lowered his head and said to Zhu Zhanquan: "Xiaguan...Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will go to Commander Ji immediately! Just, just Xiaguan..."

"Just what? Are you also involved, or are you and the Kong family very close? All these courts know it." Zhu Zhanquan didn't care about this at all, he just stood up casually and patted the Qufu County Magistrate. shoulder, and said in his ear: "This world belongs to my Zhu family after all, and you are an official of my Zhu family after all, and you receive the salary of my Zhu family, so it doesn't matter what you have done, the key is what you will do in the future. How to do it."
