A confused concubine fell from the sky

Chapter 17: Cleaning Up the Mess

Thinking of this, Chao Yan was so stressed that she couldn't laugh anymore, and looked up at Qin Zheng: "Brother, tell me... is this Mr. Jia going to retaliate against me for disturbing his playing the piano? If I unfortunately die in Chengyang, you Take revenge for me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what do you think of Mr.?" Qin Zheng listened, hit her with a small chestnut on the forehead, and continued walking.He took two steps, but stopped again, and looked back at the hesitant Chaoyan, "Little fool, don't worry, you are my Princess Chaoyan, no one dares to do anything to you."

"Okay..." Chao Yan had no choice but to nod in resignation, and Qin Zheng smiled: "That's right."

"What a cruel big brother!" Unexpectedly, Chao Yan added slowly.Qin Zheng then knocked her on the head, "Next time you speak, don't pant!"

So, before dawn the next day, Chao Yan got into the carriage and followed Na Jia Fu to Chengyang to take up his post under the support of the attendants huddled in front of him.

Fortunately, Dijing was not too far away from Chengyang, so they traveled non-stop, and finally arrived before the sun set.

Before approaching the gate of Chengyang City, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers was heard from a distance.Chaoyan curiously opened the curtains on the carriage, looked outside, and saw a group of officials and wealthy businessmen already crowded and waiting outside the city gate, and there were many actors playing drums and gongs on both sides of the road. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

"We welcome the princess, Lord Chengyang Ling!"

Seeing Chaoyan and Jia Fu's chariots and horses approaching, those officials and wealthy businessmen all knelt down and shouted in unison.

With the support of the two maids, Chaoyan walked out of the carriage slowly, got off the ground, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and then at Jia Fu who stood aside with a calm expression, feeling a little at a loss.

what do I do?It's the first time for me to be a princess with such status. In the sky, I only serve the queen mother. It's the first time for me to be the master!

"Princess, please just say that you are normal." Jia Fu, who was on the side, saw through her anxiety and confusion, and reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, you guys...cough cough, let's get flat!" Chao Yan immediately put on a show.

"Thank you princess!" Those people responded loudly together, and then stood up.

"Princess, Master Chengyang Ling." An official cupped his hands and invited, "You two have come from a long way, and the journey has been exhausting. Fortunately, the lower official has prepared a banquet at Qingyunzhai. Yang ordered adults to enjoy the light and have a small gathering."

"Princess, I have prepared a banquet here, please honor the princess and your lord..."

"The county master..."

"Princess..." The wealthy businessmen on the side also rushed forward to invite, and Chaoyan was a little overwhelmed by their enthusiastic invitations.

"Stay here, everyone!" Jia Fu excused him, stepped forward and seemingly inadvertently blocked Chaoyan, separating her from the officials and merchants, and declined, "Everyone, the princess and a certain heart accept it. But, the county The Lord has come all the way, it is inevitable that the body is tired and needs a good rest. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it another day. Everyone, please go back!"

After he finished speaking, he dismissed the crowd, got on his steed again, and ordered someone to help Chaoyan back into the carriage, and went directly to the Yamen of Chengyang City.

"Sir, why are we rejecting them?" After settling down, she sat under the oil lamp in the living room, Chaoyan gnawed on a dry pancake and ate fried cabbage, and asked, "These people kindly invited us to dinner. , why don't we go?"

"Princess, who do you think these are?" Jia Fu ate a few mouthfuls, then spread out a piece of white paper on the table next to him, sharpened his pen, and wrote something.

"This...of course it's all local officials and wealthy businessmen!" Chao Yan thought for a while and said.

"Then the Princess thinks, why do these officials Fu Jia entertain us?" Jia Fu began to write quickly without raising his head.

"This... I don't know, it's not their practice, is it?" Chao Yan lowered his head thoughtfully, he suddenly figured it out, and put down his chopsticks in disappointment, "It turns out that I really regarded myself as an onion, Although I am the princess, I have no achievements, no real power, and I don't understand politics; do these oily officials and businessmen not understand the truth? To put it bluntly, I am just a student with the prince. These people really want to entertain In fact, it is sir. However, this kind of banquet is not free."

"Princess, you are so smart..." Jia Fu heard this, and raised his head to look at her, as if he was praising her.

"Ah? Sir, are you complimenting me?" Chao Yan was overjoyed when she heard that, the majestic Di Saturn official actually praised me!This is one of the best genius gods in the heavens!Am I really that smart?

"Please, please praise me more! Sir, I like to hear people praise me, especially for a genius like you!" She forgot to be hungry in joy, and ran to Jia Fu's table to look at him, her hands tightly clenched. With a small fist on his chest, he said excitedly.

"Hehe... Princess, you are so cute." Jia Fu smiled, and reached out to touch her head with the buns, "Are you tired? Princess, please go to rest."

"Uh... did I disturb you again..." Seeing the unfinished things on his desk, Zhaoyan had to get up and leave his desk, and said with some reluctance: "Then I'm going to sleep, sir, don't worry too much." If you are tired, go to bed early."

Jia Fu smiled at her, said nothing, and continued writing.

Chao Yan returned to her bedroom, excitedly giggled and patted the part of her head that Jia Fu had touched, and giggled for a while.The maids who served her couldn't help but asked strangely: "Master, you've been scratching your head and laughing all by yourself since just now, what's wrong?"

"Did you know? There is the smartest star official, oh no, the smartest sage praised me for being smart!" Zhao Yan said to them excitedly, "This is the first time anyone has praised me since I can remember. Clever! And it was boasted by such a smart person, what does that mean!"

"Say, explain what?" The maids looked at each other, not understanding what she was going to say.

"It means that I am indeed a smart person!" Chao Yan sat on the bed contentedly, "Tonight I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

……

After Jia Fu finished writing that piece of paper, he stamped his official seal of Chengyang Order, gave it to a yamen servant and said: "Tomorrow, ask the clerks to copy a few more copies of this announcement, and then post it in pieces, so that everyone in Moyang can read it." Officials and people, no matter the streets, alleys, or remote areas, must be seen."

So, the next day, all the common people in Chengyang City saw the announcement of the governance of Chengyang City issued by the newly appointed Master Chengyang Ling.

Most of the people are illiterate, so naturally those sour scholars who have read some books and can read come out and shake their heads to sing and show off, and read to the vast number of illiterate ordinary people.I only heard that the notice read:

"The official found out that there are vicious people in Chengyang who ignore the king's law and run amok in the village.Thieves are rampant and civilians are restless.From now on, anyone who plunders, occupies people's property, or plunders people's wives, families and children should be returned immediately.If he dares to disobey, once verified, his own property will be confiscated, the victim will be compensated for losses, or other heavy penalties will be imposed depending on the severity of the case.Anyone who idles around, does not do their job, steals from rats and dogs, and disturbs the law and order should immediately surrender and return to the village.Otherwise, depending on the severity of the circumstances, they will be punished with corvée or imprisonment to make up for their crimes.The official encourages men to farm and women to weave, work hard, advocate good neighborliness, respect for teachers and education.Those with outstanding achievements will be commended.
