A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

In the following days, with effective treatment, the number of infections and deaths in Zhuang County gradually decreased. Everything was moving in a positive direction.

The case of Ning'an County Magistrate Zhu, which Fang Yang led his men to investigate, also came to a conclusion. It turned out to be a big fish.

On the table were dozens of evidences signed by Magistrate Zhu. He had hidden more than one million taels of silver in the cellar, built a super-standard mansion, oppressed the people, committed crimes, used his official position to engage in business, and amassed a lot of money. The dozens of concubines in the back room were all dressed in exquisitely embroidered brocade and decorated with dazzling pearls, jade and gems.

He also owned more than 100,000 mu of land. This was not enough, and he even resorted to fraud to defraud the court of disaster relief funds. He was extremely greedy and shameless. He really played the role of "the emperor is far away from the mountains" to the extreme.

Magistrate Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Yuan Ying was extremely excited and said, "It's you who wants to hurt me."

He kept shouting that he was the brother-in-law of the Minister of Personnel, and you can’t touch me…

Murong Xuanyi glanced at the prefectural governor, Lord Zhang, who was kneeling beside him, and said, "Lord Zhang, what crime have you committed for having such maggots appear in your jurisdiction?"

The prefect, Lord Zhang, knelt down and trembled, saying, "I failed in my duty, Your Majesty, please punish me."

Murong Xuanyi glanced at Magistrate Zhu and said, "Since he is the brother-in-law of the Minister of Personnel, he should be thrown into the Heavenly Prison first, and then brought back to the Dali Temple for trial when we return to Beijing. His property will be confiscated and his family members will be enslaved."

The Minister of Personnel was a member of the Crown Prince's party. He sent me to the disaster area, so I sent him a big gift in return. It is impolite not to reciprocate.

"Mr. Zhang, the prefect, has been demoted from the prefect of Yunfu City to the magistrate of Ning'an County due to negligence in supervision. The term is three years. Are you willing to accept this, Mr. Zhang?"

Lord Zhang wiped his cold sweat and said, "I am convinced and thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty."

Yuan Ying sighed that modern times are better, where if one person commits a crime, his family will not be affected. In ancient times, if one person commits a crime, the whole family will suffer.

At this time, County Magistrate Wei came in with a donation box in his arms, smiling happily. It seemed that the fundraising had been quite effective in the past few days.

"Your Highness, I have collected donations of 50,000 taels of silver and 3,000 dan of grain from various towns and villages in Zhuang County. This is the list of donations from each town and village, please have a look." County Magistrate Wei knelt on the ground to report the results of the past few days.

Murong Xuanyi personally helped County Magistrate Wei up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wei!"

Murong Xuanyi couldn't help but smile. This time, he not only controlled the plague, but also solved the thorny issue of resettlement of millions of people for the court.

Originally, his good brothers wanted to send him here and never let him return. It seems that they will be disappointed.

Yuan Ying had never thought that the gap between the rich and the poor was so huge in ancient times. It seemed that no matter how poor a place was, there were still many rich people. With these donations, the people could have a full meal for the time being.

County Magistrate Wei looked at Yuan Ying, hesitating to speak. Seeing this, Yuan Ying said directly: "Sir Wei, you can speak directly if you want to."

County Magistrate Wei looked at Murong Xuanyi and said, "Master Yuan said that the prince who raised the most money personally came to the door, so can it be counted?"

Yuan Ying nodded quickly: "Of course it counts, Your Majesty, right?" He was afraid that Murong Xuanyi would not agree.

Murong Xuanyi smiled helplessly and said, "It counts."

The county magistrate of Wei heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Li Baoyu, a wealthy businessman in Zhang County, donated 20,000 taels of silver.

His eldest son is getting married on the 20th of this month, but due to the disaster, people are not allowed to hold funerals, banquets, or gather.

Therefore, there were no guests at the Li Mansion wedding banquet and everything was kept simple. He wanted to invite the prince to attend his eldest son's wedding banquet."

After saying that, he quickly took out the invitation hidden in his arms.

Murong Xuanyi took the invitation and said to Yuan Ying: "Since you have taken on this job, then you should go with me."

Yuan Ying curled her lips. She had never attended a wedding before and was very curious about what weddings were like in ancient times.

Is it really like what they say on TV: three books, six ceremonies, three matchmakers, six betrothals, and ten miles of red makeup? Although she is curious about other people's weddings, she doesn't look forward to her own. At least not in ancient times.

The wedding banquet on the 20th was coming soon. In the morning, Jiang Chong sent Yuan Ying a few new clothes. The brocade clothes and jade belts looked extremely expensive. Yuan Ying just picked up a moon-white robe, put it on, and went out.

Today, Murong Xuanyi was wearing a purple golden python robe embroidered with delicate gold and silver threads, a jade belt around his waist, and a purple gold crown on his head. He stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking noble and majestic.

Yuan Ying took a look and thought: This guy is dressed like a coquettish rooster, maybe he wants to steal the limelight from the groom.

Murong Xuanyi saw that Yuan Ying was wearing a moon-white gold-woven brocade robe with a dark blue spiral belt around his waist. His black hair was tied with a ribbon and his clear eyes were bright and lively, which made him look majestic and heroic.

Murong Xuanyi thought that if this boy were in Yanjing City, he would probably be the object of pursuit by those noble ladies.

Seeing Murong Xuanyi staring at him, Yuan Ying asked, "My Lord, do I look ugly in this outfit?"

Murong Xuanyi smiled faintly and asked, "You don't believe in my judgment?"

The two walked towards the carriages while talking. Yuan Ying and Murong Xuanyi each had a carriage, while County Magistrate Wei and Lord Cui had another carriage. Fang Yang and Jiang Chong rode horses to protect Murong Xuanyi on both sides, and there were ten shadow guards following in secret.

An hour later, the carriage arrived at the gate of Li's Mansion. Li Baoyu and his family had already been there to welcome Murong Xuanyi and others.

"We, the common people Li Baoyu, and my family welcome His Royal Highness Prince Jing!" Li Baoyu and his family shouted in unison.

I wish my voice would let everyone in the entire Zhuang County know that the extremely noble Prince Jing of Daxia has come to the Li Mansion! From now on, the Li Mansion will be honored, this is the pride of the Li Mansion!

Murong Xuanyi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, everyone get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for visiting my humble home. You are here to attend my son's wedding banquet. Your presence will make my humble home more glorious. Please come in, Your Highness!" Li Baoyu nodded and bowed, making a respectful gesture of invitation.

Due to the plague, the streets were deserted and no one was watching, but the decoration inside the mansion was still very festive. Red silk and red lanterns were hung in every corner of Li's mansion, and the servants with red ribbons hanging around their waists were busy and nervous.

"Mr. Li, your mansion is much better than the county government of Zhuang County. You are worthy of being a wealthy family in Zhuang County." Murong Xuanyi joked as he looked at the magnificent Li Mansion.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Jing, I dare not do so. This richest man is just a rumor among the people. I am just an ordinary merchant. I dare not have any intention of crossing the line and being disloyal."

When Li Baoyu heard His Royal Highness Prince Jing compare his mansion with the county government, cold sweat ran down his forehead. Is His Royal Highness hinting at something?

"Mr. Li, there is no need to be nervous. I was just moved by the exquisiteness and grandeur of the mansion. I also hope that your family will prosper and your life will get better and better." Murong Xuanyi said sincerely.

After the group followed Murong Xuanyi into the main hall one by one, Yuan Ying put away his gaze and was the last one to enter the main hall.

There were only four banquet tables in the main hall. Even such a wealthy family lived a simple life.

"Your Highness, please take a seat!" Li Baoyu said modestly.

"Mr. Li, I'm the guest today, please sit with me!" Murong Xuanyi sat down in the host seat modestly.

Li Baoyu sat in another main seat and waved to his family members.

Yuan Ying, County Magistrate Wei and others took their seats in turn. The family members sat in order of seniority.

Then the bridesmaid helped the bride walk onto the red carpet.

The bridesmaid said loudly: "I will have good luck for the rest of my life."

Crossing the fire pot

Bride: A lifetime of prosperity

Over the saddle

Bride: May the whole family be safe and sound.

Finally, the groom led the bride into the hall

Master of ceremonies: The auspicious time has arrived!

Master of Ceremonies: Bow to Heaven and Earth

The bride and groom bowed towards the door

Master of ceremonies: Second bow to parents

The two bowed to the prince and Li Baoyu.

Master of Ceremonies: Husband and wife bow to each other

The two of them worshiped together

MC: The ceremony is over, escort to the bridal chamber.

The bride was taken to the bridal chamber, while the groom entertained the guests outside.

Yuan Ying shook her head as she looked at the complicated process. She was most afraid of trouble. Fortunately, she didn't want to get married.

"I am here today to congratulate Mr. Li on his son's wedding, and to thank Mr. Li for his generosity in helping the people of Zhuang County!" Murong Xuanyi gestured to Fang Yang behind him. Fang Yang respectfully handed the gift list to Li Baoyu.

Then, with a clap of hands, the servants came in carrying a large plaque. Murong Xuanyi personally took off the red silk cloth. The four large characters "Home of Confucian Merchants" caught everyone's eyes.

Li Baoyu knelt hurriedly, and all the family members of the Li family followed suit.

"I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Jing for his reward! This is the greatest honor for me and my whole family!" Li Baoyu knelt on the ground devoutly, his excitement beyond words.

He was just a humble merchant, but His Highness inscribed the title of a Confucian merchant. What an honor it was. Li Baoyu wiped the tears from his eyes and took the plaque with both hands respectfully.

Yuan Ying silently glanced at Murong Xuanyi and thought: This guy knows how to manipulate people's hearts. A broken plaque made them cry like this.

Then Lord Cui and Magistrate Wei presented their gifts. Oh my god, why didn't anyone tell her to prepare a gift?

She couldn't find a single penny on her body. She looked at Murong Xuanyi, but he didn't seem to see her.

Yuan Ying had no choice but to stand up and clasp his fists and say, "I wish Mr. Li a happy wedding. I specially composed a flute piece for Mr. Li's wedding as a wedding gift for him. I wish Mr. Li and his wife a happy marriage, a long life together!"

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this. They had never heard of giving music as a gift.

Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, Yuan Ying walked up to the ritual music stage and picked up a bamboo flute.

Then, the sound of a flute that sounded like the sound of nature rang out in the hall, elegant and affectionate. Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying with burning eyes. He always brought him endless surprises.

The sound of the flute is melodious and lingering, like a mountain stream, gurgling, or like a spring breeze, gentle and warm. Every sound of the flute seems to be telling an ancient and beautiful legend, which makes people intoxicated.

After the song ended, everyone was still immersed in it.

Yuan Ying walked up to the groom, raised his glass and said, "Beautiful myth." I hope Mr. Li likes it. Love is an eternally beautiful myth. It does not only exist in myths. It also exists between you and her..."

"Mr. Li, congratulations again to you and your bride. May you spend your lives together hand in hand until you are old, and stay together forever!" After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand.

"Good!" There was a cheer at the scene and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

The groom was flattered and drank the wedding wine in his hand. In fact, everyone wanted to ask Yuan Ying to sing another song, but considering that he was a distinguished guest brought by the prince, they did not dare to act rashly.

Li Baoyu greeted everyone warmly. His smiling face was full of pride.

This was brought to him by His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and it is the only one of its kind in the entire Zhuang County.

When Murong Xuanyi and his companions were returning after having a good meal and a drink, Li Baoyu generously donated another 20,000 taels of silver to the people of Zhuang County.

After the wedding banquet, everyone had a smile on their face, and Yuan Ying was immersed in the warmth they brought.

In fact, people all yearn for beauty, even in such a difficult environment.

The people here grow and bloom like desert flowers, never giving up their yearning for a better life.

This spirit inspires everyone to believe that even in the most difficult circumstances, they can find hope and dreams.
