Drunk Bamboo

As soon as the sky brightened, Xie Yuzhu and Gu Suiyi hurried on their journey again.

We arrived at Jiangbei County Government Office at noon.

As soon as he got off the horse, Xie Yuzhu walked towards the county government office in a menacing manner.

"Where is the county magistrate? Get out here!"

This roar scared Gu Suiyi who was following closely behind.

Xie Yuzhu has always been unhurried, thoughtful, calm and steady.

Even if she was tired from the journey, even if she was worried about the prince, her appearance would not change completely.

Could it be that the princess lost her temper? !

Gu Suiyi hurried to catch up.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the county government office? What crime should you be charged with?"

The yamen was empty, and upon hearing the noise, an older yamen runner came out.

Gu Suiyi didn't wait for Xie Yuzhu to speak, and stood in front of her: "Princess Feng is here, call the county magistrate out quickly."

“Feng…Princess Feng?!” The guard turned pale with fear. “I’ll…I’ll go find her right away…”

Xie Yuzhu was standing in the lobby. He had been riding his horse for half a day and it was a good time to take a break.

"Princess, you have come from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you..."

Magistrate Hu adjusted his official hat. There was still grease stain on the corner of his mouth that he hadn't had time to wipe clean. He must have been eating, so he hurried over.

Xie Yuzhu was furious and asked immediately, "You still have time to sit in the county government? You still have time to welcome guests? My prince disappeared in your Jiangbei County, what is the situation now!"

Magistrate Hu's apologetic smile immediately darkened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

With shaking hands and wiping the sweat off his face, he explained: "Princess, calm down, princess, calm down! I have sent all the people in the county office to search for the prince, but the prince fell from the cliff of Loushan Mountain, and under the cliff is the turbulent Qinghe River... Only, only a piece of the prince's clothes and blood stains were found under the cliff..."

Fall off a cliff!

Bloodstains!

When these words appeared in front of Xie Yuzhu, she could hardly breathe.

Only after hearing with my own ears the news that Hua Qinfeng's life and death were unknown did I truly feel that this was true.

In the past two days, she had been hoping for luck, praying that it was all fake news and that all her efforts to find someone were in vain.

She thought, Hua Qinfeng, who practiced martial arts every day in the martial arts field, was very good at martial arts and martial arts, so how could he lose?

How did he get hurt? How did he fall off the cliff?

Xie Yuzhu's eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "Are you sure that the prince has no chance of survival? County Magistrate Hu, you are so bold!"

Even Gu Suiyi shuddered with fright.

How could a woman be so horrible?!

Magistrate Hu trembled all over: "I dare not, I dare not! The prince was fighting with the bandits to protect the official silver, and this is why he met with an accident..."

A cold glance: "The prince is just missing, but you said that the prince met with an accident, what are you thinking!"

Magistrate Hu lowered his head and quickly responded, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake!"

"The prince has been missing for two days. As soon as the news reached Zhongdu, the princess rushed here. Even the fastest horse and the strongest man would be exhausted after running for two days. I heard that the princess is the youngest daughter of the Xie family, one of the four famous families in Rao Kingdom. She has been weak and docile since she was a child, and she is not good at martial arts. Now looking at the princess's complexion, she seems to be full of energy."

Wang Qingming appeared behind County Magistrate Hu at some point and walked quietly in front of him.

Xie Yuzhu's eyes turned cold.

Gu Suiyi stood in front of Xie Yuzhu, not letting Wang Qingming get close, and said with great momentum: "How dare you! Are you doubting the princess?"

Wang Qingming's movements were neither hurried nor slow: "The prince disappeared for the sake of the country and the people. The Jiangbei County Office is responsible. If he is guilty, he will be punished according to the law of the court. It's not something that can be brought to justice by just anyone."

Xie Yuzhu sneered and stared at Wang Qingming:

"Are you Wang Qingming? You have a sharp tongue and a calm face. A mere county magistrate interrupts the county magistrate. In Jiangbei County, is it County Magistrate Hu who has the final say, or is it you, County magistrate Wang, who has the final say?"

As he said this, he glanced at County Magistrate Hu, who was hiding behind Wang Qingming in silence.

It’s really useless!

Her eyes fell on Wang Qingming again, and she said fearlessly: "My husband is missing in Jiangbei County. It is only natural for me to come to find my husband. Who can stop me from going to war to punish him?"

Wang Qingming's eyes trembled slightly. He had never seen a woman as courageous as her.

"What I said was also for Jiangbei County. County Magistrate Hu certainly understands my intentions."

When Magistrate Hu was mentioned, he raised his head tremblingly, looked at Wang Qingming, and nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, Magistrate Wang is the most capable person under me, and has made many contributions to Jiangbei County. Miss Wang... please don't blame me, don't blame me..."

Even the way Xie Yuzhu was addressed was changed to "girl".

"This is the peony jade pendant bestowed by the Empress herself."

Xie Yuzhu showed the jade token. Magistrate Hu opened his eyes wide, took a look, and knelt down hurriedly:

"Princess, please forgive me, Princess, please forgive me!"

"If the prince can't find you, I will not let your family go even if you die." Xie Yuzhu warned coldly.

Such a person, as the magistrate of a county, is controlled by evil people and does evil things without knowing it.

Allow Wang Qingming to do whatever he wants.

What a bastard!

"Issue a notice throughout the county. Anyone who can provide clues about the prince will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Anyone who can find the prince will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"

Gu Suiyi asked in a low voice: "Is the princess going too far?"

Xie Yuzhu deliberately raised her voice, but glanced at Wang Qingming, and said word by word: "I just want everyone to know that whoever dares to hide Hua Qinfeng, whoever dares to hurt him in the slightest, I will make that person die miserably, I will see the person alive or dead! If your Majesty comes, I will do the same, no one can stop me!"

Gu Suiyi said nothing.

Magistrate Hu immediately responded: "Yes... yes..."

Walking in front of the silent Wang Qingming, Xie Yuzhu chuckled, "Wang County Magistrate, don't you have doubts about my identity? Then take me to Loushan to find Lord Zhang, and let Lord Zhang tell Lord Wang in person who I am."

Wang Qingming glanced at Xie Yuzhu.

But I still can't understand it.

The sudden appearance of the princess caught him off guard.

But, so what? Falling from such a high cliff, how could there be a chance of survival?

Having lost her prince, how can a princess who has no one to rely on have the right to be so arrogant?

Wang Qingming lowered his head and responded respectfully.

"It's lunch time. Princess, you've been traveling so long. Why don't you have something to eat before you continue on your journey?"

County Magistrate Hu really has no vision.

Xie Yuzhu glared at him and asked: "Can County Magistrate Hu still eat?"

After sending a few people away, only Magistrate Hu was left, still in shock.

A villa in Qingshan Town, near Loushan.

The villa, which was originally full of guards, now only has a few people left to take care of the injured brothers.

At this moment, even if the most distinguished emperor came, no one would entertain him.

When Xie Yuzhu arrived at the courtyard, there was a flawless white man sitting in the courtyard. His clothes were light-colored but embroidered with golden patterns. He drank tea gracefully and had an extraordinary demeanor. Two guards stood behind him.

Looking at the face whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Hua Qinfeng's, Xie Yuzhu inexplicably felt a surge of anger.

Why isn't the person sitting here drinking tea peacefully Hua Qinfeng?

"You still have time to drink tea here? Did you find the prince?"

The anger naturally turned to the man in front of him.

The man raised his head when he heard the voice, his eyes calm and unperturbed.

Gu Suiyi was shocked when she saw the man's face, and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "Princess, he is..."

"I don't care who he is. The most important thing now is to find my prince!" Xie Yuzhu only has Hua Qinfeng in his mind now, nothing else matters.

"Princess Feng?" The man opened his thin lips, signaling Gu Suiyi to keep silent, and looked at Xie Yuzhu seriously.

I had heard of her name a long time ago, but her appearance was quite surprising when we met for the first time.

"Where is Lord Zhang?" Xie Yuzhu asked unhappily.

Gu Suiyi didn't dare to say anything, he was really worried about Xie Yuzhu.

The man was not annoyed, he slowly stood up and explained: "Master Zhang was injured and needs to rest. Princess, please ask me if you have anything. They have already told me everything that happened."

Xie Yuzhu looked at him with disdain: "You are relaying the story. Some details are only known by the parties involved. What's the point of your saying that?"

The man remained silent and looked at her, with no anger in his eyes.

Gu Suiyi tugged at her sleeve, his palms sweating: "Princess, please be careful with your words, be careful..."

"The yard is so small, I'll look for it myself." Xie Yuzhu snorted coldly, planning to find Zhang Xinghe herself.

Before leaving, he turned back and warned: "Wang County Magistrate, evildoers will be punished, but the time has not come yet."

Wang Qingming was stunned.

Xie Yuzhu's words seemed to indicate that he knew something.

How can it be?

He must be overthinking it.

Wang Qingming bowed solemnly to the elegant man in the courtyard and said, "Your Highness, I have something else to do in the county office. I will take my leave first."
