Chapter 235 Emperor’s Favor (42)

Now when I arrived, I looked at the sheriff who was kneeling on the ground with blood all over his face and kept kowtowing.

The three of them couldn't help feeling cold all over.

Even fools probably know that this is definitely not a good thing today.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go to another place and have a good chat with the monarch and ministers. I sit in the imperial city on weekdays, and I really don't know much about the local lovers. I just have time today, but I can take this opportunity Let's see how my dear ministers are doing government affairs."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What do you think?"

A group of people's faces were tense, especially the three of them, Juncheng, Junwei, and Jian Yushi, were even more trembling.

But they did not have the slightest right to refuse, they could only bow their heads and bow their hands in response: "Your Majesty orders."

A group of people, including Jiang Junshou who kowtowed on the ground, walked silently behind the emperor. Except for the sound of footsteps on the bluestone slab, there was no sound, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed to a minimum.

When they got to the hall, the emperor and Xiao Ji sat down, and Yidong stood behind the emperor.

Yun Shu looked at the officials standing in the hall, and tapped his fingertips slowly on the table, "I was almost 'handled' by the governor just now. The governor is so bold, do you know that?"

The word "handling" was lazily emphasized by her, which sounded very infiltrating.

All the ministers had cold sweat on their foreheads, and some even looked at the sheriff standing in front of him with blood on his face with extremely disbelieving eyes.

You said why are you so courageous?

Have you really eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?
Jiang Junshou met everyone's vague and complicated gazes, and could only give a silent wry smile.

How did she know that His Majesty would suddenly arrive in Yangzhou City?
If she knew that that person was His Majesty, she wouldn't dare to give her hundreds of guts!

Now I can only eat the bitter fruit that I planted.

Juncheng, Junwei, and Jian Yushi also had wry smiles on their faces.

Jun Cheng took a look at the two of them, and could only lower his head and cup his hands and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I really don't know about it."

It would be a lie to say that you don't know.

They are both officials of the same county, so how can they not be clear about each other's affairs?

But in this case, it is natural that the dead friends are not dead, and they can't match themselves for the county guard who is about to be abolished.

So naturally I can only answer that I don't know.

"Really?" The emperor stopped tapping his fingertips on the table, then propped his chin with a smile that was not a smile, and then said: "Aiqing and others, as the parents and officials of Yangzhou City, don't know anything, so I'm curious. What exactly is my love doing on weekdays?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Jun Cheng, Jun Wei, and Supervisor Shi Qiqi changed and knelt down and kowtowed.

The emperor's words are tantamount to punishing the courtiers.

After all, as courtiers, it is their duty to manage the people. If they don't even know what happened in the place under their jurisdiction, then what qualifications do they have to be parents' officials?
The faces of several people changed immediately.

The corner of the emperor's lips curled up, but his dark eyes were condensed, without any emotion.

"What is Aiqing doing?" the emperor seemed very puzzled.

Juncheng, Junwei, and Jian Yushi could only kowtow and shout "Your Majesty forgives the crime" in unison.

When they went to the capital to report on their duties, they only met the emperor once in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and did not get along with the emperor in detail. The emperor's temper was only heard about.

Knowing that although the emperor is a wise emperor with a broad mind, his temper is not very good.

This may sound like a contradiction.

In short, the emperor will not show mercy to those who do not make her happy.

But after seeing the emperor's temper, they finally understood why the officials in the capital had complicated faces when they talked about His Majesty.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. The sheriff is the superior to the ministers. How dare the ministers inquire about the sheriff's affairs?"

Jiang Junshou, whose face was covered in blood and looked weak, shrank his pupils, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, those three people are talking nonsense!"

The emperor changed his posture slowly, "Oh?"

She watched the farce quietly.

Jiang Junshou's eyes sharpened, and he was about to speak.

Just at this moment, Jiang Qicui, whose legs were bandaged by the doctor and carried by the maids, had a gloomy face, and her eyes were full of resentment.

From a distance, she cursed angrily: "Mother, my son is going to kill those two untouchables! Only by cutting them into pieces can I relieve my hatred!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.

Jiang Junshou went limp and fell directly to the ground.

It's over, it's all over.

Her face was already gray and white.

It looks like you have no strength to let out more breath and less breath in.

Zhen Mazhong, who was at the side, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy after being stunned, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, forgive me, Qi Cui didn't mean it, she didn't mean it!"

Jun Cheng and the others looked up quietly, and saw that the corners of the emperor's lips were hooked up.

The county magistrates were inexplicably terrified.

Immediately bowed his head, not daring to look any further.

"Oh..." The emperor said in a long tone, "She didn't do it on purpose, did she do it on purpose?"

She talked to him as if joking.

None of the people present felt that the emperor was joking, except... Zhen Mazhong.

With joy on his face, he automatically ignored the second half of the emperor's words, and immediately nodded in affirmation: "Yes, yes, Qi Cui didn't mean it, she didn't know it was you, Your Majesty, if she knew, she would give her ten courage Don’t dare, I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, beg Your Majesty to be merciful!”

Sheriff Jiang was in despair when she heard Zhen Mazhong's words, this idiot, she was so stupid that she didn't want to say anything anymore.

All the officials present also bowed their heads.

There is no expression on the face, but only they know what they think in their hearts.

Sure enough, the emperor smiled with ambiguous meaning, "According to what you said, if it's not Zhen, it's just an ordinary person, right?"

The expression on Zhen Mazhong's face froze for a moment, a little unnatural, but fortunately he was not so stupid, he just stammered: "This... this... ordinary scum... no, the words of ordinary people... ..."

He looked into the emperor's dark eyes, and for no reason dared not speak any more.

The danger of being targeted by an ancient ferocious beast made him mumble a few times, but he didn't dare to continue speaking.

Zhen Mazhong shut up and didn't speak.

But the other person obviously didn't want to shut up about it. After she was carried to the hall by the maid, she looked at the scene before her and said:

"Mother, Dad, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling! Mother, speak up!"

Jiang Junshou's face was pale, as if he was about to die, completely lost his spirit.

This is already the case, and it is impossible to solve the deadlock of their family.

So be it.

Jiang Junshou let out a sigh.

Seeing that Sheriff Jiang didn't speak, she looked at Zhen Mazhong again, urging her to frown and said, "Father, speak up, why are you kneeling down on this pariah, why is this pariah still alive! Why are you sitting here so well!"

Zhen Mazhong almost lost his breath for a moment, and shouted angrily: "You wicked girl! Shut up!"
