During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 123 Temperament uproar
Magistrate Gao nodded with a smile, "Jiang Xiucai is exempt from courtesy. I have long heard that Jiang Xiucai is a talented person, and it turned out to be true when I saw him. No wonder my traitor has been clamoring to see you all day long."

"Your Excellency is welcome."

Magistrate Gao went to see Luo Tingye again.

Logically speaking, he should salute like Jiang Qian, but for some reason County Magistrate Gao was a little scared, his legs were spinning, and he asked tentatively: "Who is this?"

Luo Tingye's face suddenly darkened, and his expression suddenly showed an indescribable sadness and cruelty. He took out a token.

Master Qian Cheng carefully stepped forward to take the token. After seeing the pattern words on it clearly, he almost threw the token away.

Magistrate Gao pretended to be calm and glared at Master. How could a small token scare you like this?
The master swallowed, feeling surprised and a little excited. Even he himself didn't know what was happening to him.

When Magistrate Gao saw the pattern on the token clearly, his reaction was even more violent than the master's. He stood up and became angry, "This is it?"

The pattern on it is clearly for the royal family, and generally only high-ranking adults and royal family can use it.

How could he have it? Could it be that he is from the royal family?

But today, His Majesty only has one prince, and several other princes have many sons. Is it possible that this person is one of them?

Luo Tingye sat down calmly, and the noble temperament unique to the royal family was vividly displayed on his body.

Magistrate Gao was heartbroken for a moment, and he knelt down quickly, "I am a lowly official, Gao Hong. I didn't know that His Highness is here. I hope you will forgive me for being rude."

In less than one stick of incense, Magistrate Gao's clothes were already wet with sweat.

Luo Tingye then picked up the tea and took a sip, "Get up."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness."

The master looked around and luckily he had dismissed all his servants.

Luo Tingye asked Magistrate Gao to sit down and glanced at the master next to him, "You can sit down too."

Qian Cheng looked at Magistrate Gao.

Magistrate Gao nodded slightly, he now needs someone to share the joys and sorrows with him.

Qian Cheng didn't want to stay at all, but since the adults said so, he couldn't disobey orders and go out.

Magistrate Gao did not dare to take the lead, so he happened to sit opposite Luo Tingye. Qian Cheng followed him and sat opposite Jiang Qian, his eyes sliding back and forth between Luo Tingye and Jiang Qian.

Don't blame him for overthinking it, Mr. Luo really feels so powerful that people can't help but worship him.

Who is he?

His Majesty's Majesty only thought that the Crown Prince was about the same age as him, but how could His Highness appear here? The other princes' sons could not leave the capital without the emperor's orders.

I haven’t heard of any prince sent by His Majesty to travel.

Is it a concubine?
That's not right. How could a concubine from the royal family have such a strong aura?

Qian Cheng kept speculating on Luo Tingye's identity. Seeing County Magistrate Gao rubbing his hands nervously, he took the initiative and said, "I wonder what your highness's identity is?"

"Qian Cheng, passed the Jiankang examination in three years. He was later exempted from his merit due to a frame-up by his classmates. A year later, he lived on the street and was rescued by Magistrate Gao. Later, he has been following Magistrate Gao to make suggestions. He served in Baimaguan Town. Your idea.”

Qian Cheng's eyes suddenly widened and he was shocked. How did he know?
Qian Cheng knelt down in panic, "I know my guilt, I instigated Magistrate Gao to do everything. I have nothing to do with Magistrate Gao. If you want to punish me, just punish me."

County Magistrate Gao was completely panicked, and he also knelt down, "Sir, Qian Cheng... He was also confused for a moment, and for the sake of Huachang County's economy, please forgive him for his merits."

On the surface, the incident of serving in Yangliu Town was caused by Magistrate Gao enslaving the people for his own selfish purposes. In fact, his father-in-law's family only benefited a little bit, and more of it brought business opportunities to Baimaguan Town.It has greatly promoted the development of Baimaguan Town.

As for why they only enslaved the people of Yangliu Town, it was because the people in Yangliu Town were easy to talk to, and there were no family members of important people, let alone famous scholars.

Even if you find out and fool around for a few words, it will be over.

Qian Cheng broke into a cold sweat and trembled, thinking that he was dead, but even if he died, he could not drag Magistrate Gao into the water.

Luo Tingye said in a calm voice, "Although you have selfish motives for doing this, it is indeed for the benefit of the people of Huachang County. From this point of view, you have made up for your fault. Get up."

Qian Cheng looked at Luo Tingye in surprise. It took him a while to react, and he kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."

Magistrate Gao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

County Magistrate Gao felt that Luo Tingye was quite reasonable, and he couldn't help but become more courageous, "I wonder what official business your Highness has in Huachang County this time?"

"I came here for the graphite mine discovered in Ruyin County."

Magistrate Gao breathed a sigh of relief. That was Ruyin County's business and had nothing to do with him.

I think I was passing by him and all he wanted was to treat me with good food and drinks.

Qian Cheng became numb when Luo Tingye spoke, Gu?

Did he hear it correctly? He actually called himself Gu?

In the whole world, there is only one person in the world who can claim to be lonely.

But shouldn’t His Royal Highness be in the capital?

Wait, is he?
Magistrate Gao noticed that Qian Cheng had been staring at Luo Tingye and coughed lightly, "Qian Cheng."

Seeing that Master Gao had not yet reacted, Qian Cheng explained in a low voice, "Sir, he is... he is..."

A trace of gloom flashed across Luo Tingye's face.

Qian Cheng suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat, and the next words were stuck in his throat, unable to go up or come down.

Magistrate Gao hadn't discovered the problem yet and said in confusion: "Qian Cheng, how can you be so rude in front of the adults and why don't you quickly apologize to the adults?"

Qian Cheng knelt down in a panic, his face almost touching the ground, "Common man Qian Cheng attends His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."

Magistrate Gao: "..."

His eyes widened, his face full of horror, and he reacted in an overly frightened manner, "Your Majesty... Your Highness?"

Luo Tingye put down the tea cup, his dark eyes shining coldly like ice. He asked Qian Cheng, "How did you know Gu's identity?"

Qian Cheng answered honestly, "The only one in the world who can claim to be alone is His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince just got married and that he will host the year-end ceremony on his behalf. He will definitely not appear here at this time. So, His Highness's His identity is now revealed."

Jiang Qian smiled slightly, Master Qian was quite smart. No wonder a weak person like Magistrate Gao could steadily serve as the magistrate of Huachang County for so many years. This man was indispensable.

It might come in handy in the future.

Magistrate Gao was shocked, "Are you the former Crown Prince? Aren't you dead?"

Qian Cheng's face turned bitter and he quickly tugged at County Magistrate Gao's clothes.
