When facing the prince, Chang Jing is a person who is cautious in his words and actions and only obeys the prince's orders.

But only Chang family members who really know him know how arbitrary he is in his heart.

In the flower hall of the East Palace, facing the Crown Princess, his admonitions made the proud Crown Princess obey and did not dare to say anything.

It wasn't until his mouth became dry that he stood up: "After all, you are a female member of the East Palace. Although you are favored by the prince, you must not break the rules. I have been here for a long time. If you have nothing else to do, , I took my leave."

"Wait a minute!" The princess called him, "I have something I want to trouble my second uncle to do."

"What's the matter?" Chang Jing frowned displeased.

The princess lowered her voice: "Second uncle must have heard that my uncle works in Puyang County outside Beijing. He has strict rule and has never caused any trouble in more than ten years."

"But a few days ago, he wrote a letter saying that he accidentally offended the Lord of Ping'an County and Marquis Weiyuan. The letter did not mention the reason, so I don't know how to deal with it. My uncle has always been timid, and there was no one around to discuss it. The second uncle will definitely pass by Puyang County when he returns to Jiangnan. Please meet with my uncle then and help him deal with this matter."

"Are you talking about Magistrate Lu of Puyang County?" Chang Jing asked.

"Exactly."

"Since we are in-laws, I will go and take a trip." Chang Jing said expressionlessly, "This can be considered as a way to help share the worries of the queen."

After he finished speaking, he left without waiting for the Crown Princess to speak.

The Crown Princess stood under the eaves of the corridor outside the flower hall, and she still didn't come back to her senses until Chang Jing's back disappeared from sight.

Her personal maid was horrified when she saw this, and hurriedly ran over to wrap her in a cloak: "It's very windy here, please be careful, don't get cold!"

The Crown Princess wrapped her cloak tightly around herself subconsciously: "Master Chang will share my worries, right?"

When the maid saw this, she didn't know how to answer.

……

After leaving the East Palace, Chang Jing got on the carriage.

Because his visit to Beijing this time was more about explaining the flood to His Majesty, Chang Jing's trip was very low-key.

Only an ordinary gray shed carriage was used for the round trip.

Riding in the summer was convenient for keeping cool, but it was also winter, so as soon as he entered the car, he wrapped himself in a cotton robe.

"Master, please be patient, we will be home soon." His entourage followed outside the car and said.

"Yeah." Chang Jing replied angrily.

Chang Sui asked in a low voice: "Sir, does His Highness the Crown Prince have any instructions?"

"What orders can you give that idiot?" Chang Jing sneered, "He really was born at a good time! It's thanks to His Majesty's affection. Otherwise, with his character and vision, the position of the East Palace will change hands sooner or later. "

Chang Sui was outside the car and did not dare to say a word.

After all, the master and the prince are tied in the same boat. No matter how harsh the master says, it is still a matter between the master and the master.

As servants, they did not dare to show any disrespect towards the prince.

Chang Jing's body felt a little warm, and he remembered the princess's instructions, so he ordered: "You will set off early tomorrow morning to go to Puyang County to find out why Lu Zhi County offended the Lord of Ping'an County and Weiyuan Hou Yes, I have to investigate everything thoroughly, I want to find out all the details."

Chang Sui responded: "Yes!"

Early the next morning, the people in the Chang Mansion were still packing their bags, so Chang Ran set off in the morning light.

If it were normal, it would be difficult to find out about Lu Zhi County in Puyang County.

But this time, because Mr. Lu was disrespectful to the Lord of Ping'an County, he ended up posting a notice at the yamen gate. The whole incident has become a household name and has become a topic of conversation among the people of Puyang County after dinner.

Coupled with the huge formation when Weiyuan Hou left Puyang County, the magistrate of Lu County was forced to kneel by the roadside to see him off. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Hou Ye was trying to vent his anger to the county lord.

Therefore, there was no need to inquire. The commander casually found out clearly how Mr. Lu insulted an orphan and a widower, and how he ordered all the inns in Puyang County not to allow the county lord to stay after he failed to tease him.

In the afternoon, when Chang Jing's car passed through Puyang County, he stopped in front of an inconspicuous tea shed.

Chang Sui stood respectfully in front of the elders drinking tea and reported the information he had found out in great detail.

Chang Jing was sitting in the tea shed, with his back leaning on a soft cushion and a stove in his hand. The more he listened, the tighter his frown became.

"These idiots." Chang Jing sneered, "I think over the years, the magistrate of Lu County has done a lot of evil things with the help of the Crown Princess."

"If they hadn't borrowed the crown prince's help from the prince, would they dare to be so blatant? It's just an accident that this time, they kicked the iron plate of Ping'an County Lord." "My expectation is good!" Chang Sui nodded after hearing the words: "Little When I inquired about the news, I found that all the people in the county were gnashing their teeth against Lu Zhixian. I heard from the previous issue that some people had gone to the capital to complain in the past, but they were suppressed by the princess. The people had no way to appeal, so they could only endure it silently. "

"Puyang County's political performance seems to be good?" Chang Jing asked, "A product like this can still get good ratings every time. I worked so hard in Jiangnan and almost caused trouble!"

After hearing the words, Chang Sui didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only console him: "You command the entire Jiangnan Road, and what you have done is far beyond what he can do as the head of this county. What's more, this place is close to the capital, and it is through the capital. With such a good reputation, it is not difficult to achieve political achievements.”

Chang Jing stroked his beard and did not comment.

Chang Sui couldn't figure out what his master meant, so he asked tentatively: "Sir? Is it really like what the princess said, to help the magistrate of Lu resolve the grudges with Marquis Weiyuan?"

"Well, this matter needs to be handled properly." Chang Jing said thoughtfully.

"Will you be going to the county government office soon?" Chang Sui asked.

"No, you can just deal with this matter."

Chang Sui Nahan said: "Young ones don't understand... If a young person speaks lightly, the magistrate of Lu County may not pay attention to it."

"You don't need to pay attention to him." Chang Jing put down the stove and rubbed his warm hands, "Kill them all."

Chang Sui: "!!..."

"The weather is cold now, and it is common for people to get charcoal gas when heating the house. In previous years, weren't there tragedies in which entire families died? Just follow the instructions and be careful not to leave any traces."

"But... Magistrate Lu is the uncle of the Crown Princess after all, and is related to our family by marriage."

"So what? Idiots like this are dragging the Crown Princess back all the time, so why not kill them all! Besides, the Crown Princess didn't ask me to share her worries. If I do this, won't I help her avoid future troubles forever?"

After saying that, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Besides, it's just an in-law, what does it have to do with me? Once he dies, the Crown Princess can only rely on our Chang family in the court. This girl now has a stable position in the East Palace. If If you become wild-minded, I’m afraid it will be difficult to control you in the future.”

After saying that, Chang Jing stood up, dropped a silver dime in the tea shed, and returned to the carriage.

Before leaving, he opened the curtain and warned, "Wait until I'm far away before you do anything."

One person was left behind, shivering in the cold wind.
