Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 35: Xiao!
The next day.

The hall court meeting.

Xiao Linglong was wearing a dragon robe with a majestic air. His Royal Highness Xiao Xuance, the prince on the lower left, was yawning. Today he also came to court for the first time, of course because of Zhao Kang.

He was also waiting to learn how to make gunpowder from Zhao Kang.

Officials from the Ministry of Works continued to report on the latest situation of floods in Jiangzhou. After all major and minor matters were decided, Xiao Linglong looked at the Director of Ceremonies.

"Mr. Ma, is Yuanjiang County Magistrate Zhao Kang here?"

After hearing this, Manager Ma quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Chief of Ceremonies has sent someone to inform Mr. Zhao this morning."

Xiao Linglong nodded: "Then let's summon him."

"Xuanyuanjiang County Magistrate Zhao Kang!"

The call was passed out one after another, and everyone couldn't help but look curiously outside the hall. This guy finally arrived.

I heard that the eunuch who went to deliver the decree some time ago came back and said that under this guy's rule, the people were in dire straits, and the people were so poor that they almost ate people!I don’t know how His Majesty will deal with it.

It is undoubtedly a merit to quell the floods in Jiangzhou, but it is also a crime to keep Yuanjiang County impoverished for many years.

Now everyone is waiting to watch the show.

Outside the palace, Zhao Kang was wearing clothes and trotting after the eunuch.

As the eunuch ran, he couldn't help but urge: "Master Zhao, hurry up! The people in front have already begun to summon, and the official uniforms must be sorted out quickly!"

"I know, I know, why bother?"

Zhao Kang put on his belt and shouted unhappily, Damn it, Wang San, if you hadn't asked me to drink some wine, I wouldn't have overslept!
Under the anxious urging of the eunuch, Zhao Kang finally got in front of the main hall, tidied up his appearance, and quickly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his head lowered.

Even without raising his head, he could feel countless pairs of eyes looking at him, and it felt really unpleasant.

Thinking about the face-to-face matters written in Zhou Baichuan's mind.

Zhao Kang didn't even raise his head, just watching himself walking step by step on his toes. After walking eighteen steps, he fell to his knees and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Weak minister, Zhao Kang, the magistrate of Yuanjiang County in Jiangling Prefecture, comes to greet our emperor. Long live my emperor!"

"Get up." Xiao Linglong raised her lips.

yeah?
Why is this voice so familiar?

Zhao Kang raised his head subconsciously, but after just one glance, he immediately became angry: "Your mother's surname is Xiao, so you are here!"

The guy above is not the enemy I have been looking for these days!We actually met this bastard here, right? Wait a minute, is this guy wearing a dragon robe?
Why is this guy next to her, her brother, also wearing a yellow dragon robe?
Wait, your surname is Xiao?Siblings?
Your Majesty the Empress!

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Kang's forehead!
Xiao Xuance looked at Zhao Kang with admiration. He was so brave. He actually dared to call himself eldest sister like that in front of so many people.

"What did Zhao Aiqing say?" Xiao Linglong raised her eyebrows coldly, "Good boy, you are really bold, aren't you?"

Zhao Kang shuddered and quickly lowered his head: "No! I didn't say anything. When the humble minister saw the holy face, he was frightened by the majesty of the emperor for a moment, and his mind was shocked, so he couldn't speak at all!"

Damn it, it’s over now, how could this guy be Her Majesty the Empress!
Aren’t you done playing this yet?

When he thought of how he had tricked him into closing his eyes and then taken advantage of him in Yuanjiang County, Zhao Kang already felt that his head was no longer around his neck.

God is killing me!
Before the ministers around him could react, they heard Zhao Kang's flattering words and were a little shocked.Good fellow, still intimidated by the majesty of the Emperor, this guy from the countryside can use words as good as us when it comes to patting horses!

Xiao Linglong didn't accept his trick. She had known Zhao Kang for a long time, and she also knew that the curse words Zhao Kang usually talked about were all curse words.

Hehe sneered twice: "Really? I didn't expect Aiqing to be so timid."

Zhao Kang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Aiqing is joking, you were the first to calm down the flood, so what's your crime?" When she said the last four words, Xiao Linglong almost gritted her teeth.

The chill was even felt by many officials in the audience. It seemed that this guy was finished. Even if he succeeded in controlling floods, he would probably lose his official title.

"Boss Horse."

Looking at Zhao Kang who was sweating on his forehead, Xiao Linglong shouted.

"My slave is here." The chief eunuch didn't know what was going on, so why did Her Majesty the Empress suddenly feel bad?
"Take Mr. Zhao down and wait. I will have a good time catching up with Mr. Zhao later." Xiao Linglong laughed.

That smile was no different from crocodile tears in Zhao Kang's eyes.

My life is over.

As the chief eunuch retreated from the main hall, Zhao Kang had already begun to think about how to get a whole corpse for himself.

Manager Ma was obviously a kind-hearted master. Looking at Zhao Kang's helpless appearance, he hurriedly consoled him: "Master Zhao, don't worry too much. The floods in Jiangzhou have been contained because of you. Even though His Majesty will blame Yuanjiang County for the poverty, you can still Your Majesty has merit after all, and His Majesty has always been kind."

Zhao Kang chuckled, sighed and said nothing.

This is no longer a matter of blame or not, he took advantage of her!Aren't you going to scratch yourself alive later?
As he walked and thought about it, Zhao Kang gradually became indifferent.

Damn it, I haven’t enjoyed it enough yet, but if you want to kill me, kill me. I am still afraid that you are a bitch. Maybe you can travel through time again and become the emperor’s son or something!

Thinking like this, Mr. Zhao suddenly felt less afraid.

Because there is no point in being afraid.

Finally, the eunuch in charge took him to the imperial garden to wait.

Here, Xiao Linglong finally went to court. Lu Yuan followed her carefully. After walking for a while, Xiao Linglong said, "Lu Yuan, go get my emperor's sword."

Green Yuan was a little confused but still did as he was told.

After walking a few steps, they met the palace maids and eunuchs. Xiao Linglong asked them to step back, especially since no one was allowed to approach the Imperial Garden. They were finally about to enter the Imperial Garden.

Lu Yuan came with a sword and took the sword. Xiao Linglong said: "Lu Yuan, please step back too."

"The slaves obey."

Although he didn't know what His Majesty wanted the sword for, Green Yuan could guess that it was definitely not a good thing and quickly stepped aside.

Xiao Linglong's face darkened and she walked into the garden with her sword in hand. Zhao Kang looked over at a glance, his eyes fell on the sword in Her Majesty's hand and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This is like cutting off your own dog’s head with your own hands!

As soon as she saw Zhao Kang's face, Xiao Linglong was furious. This bastard actually dared to scold me in front of so many people. Today is the day to settle old and new grudges!
Xiao Linglong rushed over with murderous intent. Before she could raise her sword and draw it away, Zhao Kang knelt down and hugged Her Majesty the Empress' thigh with a plop: "Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
