Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 490 Ai Cai?Love money?
The next day, when Xia Longyu wanted to enter the town again, he still encountered the same thing as yesterday.

This time, Xia Longyu directly handed over the money to the soldiers, and after entering the town, he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the county government office.

"Yuan'er, let's go meet the county magistrate." Xia Longyu said flatly with a twitch of his mouth.

Xiao Yuan nodded and went to push the wheelchair.

In fact, Xia Longyu's legs can already walk, the reason why he still sits in a wheelchair is to create a false impression for everyone, and of course, it is also to deceive the one in the palace.

Xiao Yuan pushed Xia Longyu to the gate of the county government office, but an officer stopped them.

"What are you guys doing?!" The officers and soldiers didn't know Xia Longyu, but looking at Xia Longyu's clothes, he knew that he was either rich or expensive.

"Go and find your county magistrate." Xia Longyu said calmly without saying anything.

"Joke, did you say that you can see if you want? It's a beautiful idea!" The officer and soldier taunted Xia Longyu.

The corner of Xia Longyu's mouth twitched, and he took out a waist card from his pocket, with the word "Jade" engraved on it, not only that, but the waist card was surrounded by dragon patterns.

Except for those in the palace, there is no one else who can engrave dragon patterns on waist cards. The officers and soldiers still know this.

After the officers and soldiers apologized, they scrambled and ran in.

At this time, the county magistrate was counting the salvaged people's fat and people's ointment in the warehouse. He looked at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, and his eyes were shining.

"My lord." The officers and soldiers ran in anxiously.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" The county magistrate was interrupted by officers and soldiers in the middle of the count, and his temper suddenly came up.

"My lord, there is a person outside the door who wants to see you, and there is a dragon pattern on his waist card."

The county magistrate, who didn't care at first, changed his face when he heard the words "dragon pattern" on the waist card, "Did you see it clearly?"

"You can see it clearly." The officer and soldier wiped off his sweat. Just now, he got very close to confirm the authenticity.

After the county magistrate listened, he raised his official uniform and ordered people to transport all the gold, silver and jewelry to the secret room for storage.

No matter who came, as long as he was a member of the imperial court, he had to be more cautious. If he was caught later, he would be executed.

Before the county magistrate went out to greet him, Xia Longyu led someone in directly.

When the county magistrate saw Xia Longyu, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, "The next official, Ai, kowtowed to Prince Yu."

Xiao Yuan, who was standing aside, almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard the county magistrate's name.

Love money?No wonder he is so greedy for money, it turns out he loves money.

"Shen Biao, go and search!" Xia Longyu raised his hand and commanded Shen Biao beside him.

Last night, the letter Xia Longyu wrote was to Shen Bing, asking him to take people to Fengling Town overnight. Last time, he did not find out that Ai Cai and Xia Yinhu were in collusion to search for people's fat.

But this time, he can directly get rid of this scourge, and cut off one of Xia Yinhu's "arms" at the same time.

After a while, the people who went in and searched found the gold, silver and jewelry that the county magistrate hadn't had time to transfer just now.

Looking at the four or five boxes of gold, silver and jewels on the ground, Xia Longyu's face turned cold, "Ai Cai, what crime should you do for searching for people's fat?"

"Go back to the lord, I know I was wrong, I didn't move a single point, I will return it, I won't do it again in the future, I beg the lord to spare my life." The county magistrate knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan didn't show any emotion on her face, instead she whispered, "I don't believe that I love money so much, I just want to be greedy for it!"

Hearing this, Xia Longyu could clearly feel the county magistrate's body shaking violently.

"Shen Illness, go find it." Xia Longyu said coldly.

The county magistrate's reaction made Xia Longyu suspect that what Xiao Yuan said unintentionally just now was correct.

This time, Shen Biao went in and rummaged through boxes and cabinets, not even letting go of the cracks in the wall. He groped under the table for a long time, and when he found something like a switch, he twisted it hard.

"Bang—" the wall behind Shen Yi turned away.

He stood up and looked in. There was a dark room full of boxes.

Shen Biao went to open it and saw that it was full of gold bars, some pearls, and almost everything.

Looking at the boxes of gold, Shen Yan couldn't help lowering his head and cursing, "What a dog official!"

Sure enough, when Xia Longyu saw the silver that Ai Cai had coveted, his face turned ashen.

"Come here, take off Ai Cai's black gauze hat, and imprison all the officers and soldiers in this county government, waiting to be punished." Xia Longyu said, gnashing her teeth.

The appearance of Xia Longyu caused the people of Fengling Town to surround him one after another. When everyone knew that Xia Longyu was making decisions for their people, everyone loved this Prince Yu even more.

The news was like the wind, and it quickly blew to the west city and into the palace.

In the early court, there were ministers who wrote a letter praising Xia Longyu's behavior, thinking that Xia Longyu was a good prince who cared about the people, even if he was not good at doing things, he would vent his anger on the people. Having such a prince is the blessing of their Xia Kingdom .

At the same time, Xia Yinhu, who went to the early court together, just listened to the minister's support and praise for Xia Longyu. Xia Yinhu could feel that the people around him had opinions on him, but they all reminded the emperor obliquely.

Because of this incident, Xia Yinhu's position as the crown prince was shaken again.

"Come on, I have to go out of the palace for a while." Xia Yinhu said angrily, it's really not enough to succeed, but now he only hopes that Ai Cai will not confess him.

No, only the dead keep secrets.

Xia Yinhu deliberated over and over again, and mobilized a few murderers to assassinate Ai Cai, but he didn't know that Ai Cai was perfectly protected by Xia Longyu.

At this time, the county government of Fengling Town.

"Ah!" Ai Cai cried out in pain, leaving another welt mark on his body.

"How? Would Mr. Ai be willing to be a witness?" Xia Longyu looked at Ai Cai with a half-smile.

Ai Cai couldn't bear this pain anymore, he broke down and shouted, "I am willing, please spare the life of this official."

Xia Longyu nodded, motioning for Shen Bing to stop.

"Then I will trouble you to enter the palace with me tomorrow." Xia Longyu said.

Ai Cai, who was on the verge of death, was put down by Shen Yi, and now there is no good part of his body.

It was not until the next day that Ai was escorted back to the West City, but on the way back to the West City, they were ambushed by men in black.

Fortunately, Xia Longyu made two-handed preparations and asked the people of Longge to guard in secret.

At the last moment, Ai Cai still saved his life, but no one noticed that when the men in black were retreating, someone handed Ai Cai something.

Ai Cai looked at the things in his hands, as if he had mixed feelings.

"Are you all right?" Shen Yan came over, and Ai Cai was so frightened that he quickly put the things in his arms into his arms.

"It's okay." Ai Cai stood up in embarrassment.

Because of this delay, there were no casualties.

After half an hour, they finally returned to the West City. Because of Xiao Yuan's status, she could only stay in the Jade Palace and be taken care of by Ning Ke'er.
