The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination
Chapter 207 Then He Uses a Sword
Feng Zhishang left in a hurry. He was going to prepare for surgery to reconnect the tendons of the three people in the backyard.
Yun Qing said that he could reconnect the tendons of the three people, but each person could only have one hand and one foot treated. If successful, Moxue could have the surgery after the New Year.
Yun Qing accompanied Mu Qingcheng to the study, where she picked up a scroll from the table and unfolded it for Yun Qing to see. The painting depicted the sword she was going to give to Yun Qing!
Yun Qing widened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the screen, and for a moment he was a little dazed.
He couldn't believe his eyes because he had never seen such a sword before.
Yun Qing secretly marveled in his heart: "If such an exquisite sword could really be forged, I wonder what kind of sensation it would cause. His little girl is indeed not an ordinary person."
The two were discussing in the study when Mo Yu came to find Yun Qing.
Mu Qingcheng thought to herself, "Ever since Yun Qing came out of seclusion, he's been busy non-stop. There's nothing he can do about it. After all, he has the throne to inherit."
Yun Qing was also very upset. He had been through this before and had never felt this way before.
"Nuannuan, wait for me, I'll be back soon!"
The two of them were about to be twisted into a knot. They were performing a situation drama of reluctance to part, inseparability, and lingering ties.
Mo Yu looked at the lemon and felt a sour stomach. This lemon must have become a spirit! He couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he had no choice but to take out the new porcelain clay that Li Nanxuan had found and give it to Mu Qingcheng.
It is said that this porcelain clay is very resistant to firing and is exactly what Mu Qingcheng has been looking for.
Just like that, finally, Mo Yu succeeded in diverting Master Mu's attention away from his master.
Yun Qing glared at Mo Yu resentfully, like an abandoned young wife, and reluctantly followed him to the large study in the front yard to meet guests.
Fang Xuyao is still in Daxi Village. He can't stay here forever. Yun Qing must meet him and send him away.
Fang Xurao and the Ning family father and son were blindfolded and sent to the Mu Mansion. The moment the three of them took off their blindfolds, they never imagined that such an exquisite mansion could be hidden in this small mountain village.
Ning Haochen was not surprised at all. He stayed here last night and did not dare to let anyone investigate. He just took a casual walk around and felt that this village was not simple and must be hiding a big secret.
"Officially Xu Rao..."
"Immortal Ning Dechang..."
"Commoner Ning Haochen..."
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! May His Royal Highness live a long and healthy life!"
Yun Qing sat leisurely at the head of the table, his gaze fixed with interest on the three people below him. He wondered why Fang Xurao had brought the Ning family, a family of merchants, to see him.
"I'm free of charge!"
As a clear and commanding voice reached Fang Xurao, his uneasy heart grew even more tense. He stood up cautiously, keeping his head down, not daring to glance at the person above him.
"Master Fang, there's no need to be so polite. This isn't the capital, so there's no need to be so formal. Please take a seat."
Fang Xurao responded with deep trepidation, "This humble official is truly terrified. Thank you, Your Highness, for granting me a seat."
He sat down tremblingly, while the Ning family father and son stood obediently by the side, not daring to make a sound.
After a brief pause, Yun Qing continued, "I've heard that Lord Fang has served as the governor of Jiangzhou for over a decade. He is known for his integrity and honesty, and his administration is rigorous and orderly. I'd like to know what you think of the recent events in Yongkang County."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Xurao was shocked. It was indeed his dereliction of duty in Yongkang.
He suddenly looked up, and what caught his eye was an extremely charming face. The features on that face were exquisite, especially the pair of phoenix eyes that were slightly upturned, revealing an indescribable charm.
Seeing this face, Fang Xurao was completely stunned.
"Prince Shaojun!"
How is this possible? Am I seeing a ghost in broad daylight? But how could this prince in front of me... It's unbelievable!
The four words he blurted out shocked everyone present. By the time Fang Xurao realized he had said the wrong thing, it was too late. He hurriedly stood up and knelt to apologize.
"Your Highness, please forgive me! I, your humble servant, please forgive me for my careless words."
Yun Qing was also shocked just now, thinking that Fang Xurao might have met his father.
Prince Yun Qing rarely appeared in the capital. As a child, he was imprisoned in Chonghua Palace and later in Xuantian Palace. When he returned to the capital at the age of fifteen, he was immediately banished to the frontier. After three years of exposure to the elements, his face was left red, swollen, and festering. When he first returned to the capital, many mocked him for his crude and ugly appearance.
Now, he finally understood that Emperor Shengwu was probably very afraid that others would see his face!
"Master Fang, please stand up. I told you not to be so formal. It seems that Master Fang recognizes Crown Prince Shaojun, or is very familiar with him?"
"This...!" How could he say this! Having served in the court for so many years, how could he not know that the emperor was most averse to others mentioning the former crown prince? But he couldn't falsify his resume.
"Your Highness, I passed the imperial examination at the age of 23 and once served in the capital as a clerk in the Imperial Tutor's Office. I had the honor of meeting the former Crown Prince."
Yun Qing became interested when he heard this, and his tone softened a lot: "You work under Master Rong, so you know how Rong Jing is doing now."
Fang Xurao's heart skipped a beat when Rong Jing was mentioned. Rong Jing was the Grand Tutor of Crown Prince Shao Jun, who resigned from office and retired after his death.
"I don't know either."
Yun Qing observed him carefully and saw that his pupils trembled when he heard the name Rong Jing. Yun Qing thought to himself that Fang Xurao might be an old friend of his father's.
He suddenly changed the subject, steering the conversation elsewhere: "Master Fang, you know that the Yongkang County Magistrate was incredibly audacious. In the face of national crisis, he actually dared to sell grain from the national treasury! This matter has been investigated and the evidence is complete."
Hearing this, Fang Xurao couldn't help but be shocked. He thought to himself, this Yu guy is really a bastard! In this situation, he actually dared to take the national treasury granary. What a bold guy!
It was bad luck that he was caught red-handed by the prince. Now he, the prefect, was also implicated. This guy really deserved to die!
Thinking of this, Fang Xu gnashed his teeth in anger: "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will arrest him and bring the grain back to justice."
Yun Qing waved his hand. "The grain has already been sold to the people at a high price. How can we recover it? Yongkang is now out of food. The people of this city can't wait for you to open the court to try the case."
If Fang Xurao still can't understand Yun Qing's meaning, then all his years as an official have been in vain.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was telling him clearly that he should not rush to deal with the idiot County Magistrate Yu. The important thing was that they were short of food. What should they do?
What could he do! He was just a small governor, and the food he had was not enough to distribute to the people of the city! Unless the court issued an order for disaster relief and sent relief food, it would still be far from enough to quench the thirst of the people.
So, he had foresight. The reason why he brought the Ning family father and son to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to the Ning family to ask for food himself! He couldn't open his mouth.
He quickly introduced Ning Dechang and his son to Yun Qing: "Your Highness, don't worry. These two are wealthy merchants from Jiangzhou Prefecture. The twenty carts of grain sent yesterday were presented by the Ning family to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Haha! When Yun Qing heard this, he almost threw Fang Xurao out. This old man was just using him as a knife, and it was a pretty good knife at that.
What was there for Ning Dechang not to understand at this time? These were all the results of the thousand-year-old fox's cultivation. Who hadn't performed Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
But in the face of power, their Ning family is nothing, and is actually the lowest merchant.
