The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

The yamen runners were filled with righteous indignation when they heard the first sentence from the secretary. Two of them who were quick-eyed and quick-handed had stepped forward and twisted Hao Xiong's arms on the left and right, but after hearing the second sentence from the secretary, they were so scared that they let go of Hao Xiong.

Goodness! Someone who could force the prince to marry him, and he looked like a man, must be no pushover! Could there be some story between this man and this prince? Or some misunderstanding? Who was this prince? Was he really the prince? Or was that guy with the sword just making this up?

The yamen runners were so confused that they didn't know what to do for a moment.

Gu Zhanghua walked up to the secretary and knocked on his head with his folding fan.

The secretary cried out, "Ouch!" and complained, "Your Highness, could you please fight somewhere else next time? He's not as smart as you are, and if you fight him again, he'll become even more stupid!"

"I think you are stupid! I asked you to bring him back so I can see if he is my nurse's son. Do I ask you to catch him with a sword?"

The secretary was stunned: "Your Highness, it was you just now..."

"Are you going to get beaten again?"

The secretary shut up decisively. Fine, he would have another function in the future, which was to take the blame for His Highness!

Hao Xiong also understood at this time that Gu Zhanghua and Shishu were looking for revenge on him! Hao Xiong looked at Zhao Xuan for help. Zhao Xuan reached out to hold Gu Zhanghua's arm and glared at Hao Xiong.

"The prince and I are as close as one person! Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Hao Xiong immediately lowered his head. He had to admit that he was impulsive and meddling in other people's business!

Shishu looked at Hao Xiong, and unexpectedly felt a sense of sympathy and sympathy in his heart. He leaned towards Hao Xiong silently and whispered, "Brother, I'm sorry for what happened just now."

Hao Xiong also glanced at Shi Shu: "Brother, I was sorry for you last time."

The two of them were talking and talking like brothers, while on the other side, Gu Zhanghua walked up to the yamen runners, took off the token from his waist, held it in his hand, and showed it to them.

"I am the virtuous king, Gu Zhanghua!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a yamen runner recognized Gu Zhanghua and shouted, "It's the Xian Wang! It's His Royal Highness the Xian Wang! I've seen him before. Last Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xian Wang hadn't been crowned king by His Majesty yet. He was still the Fifth Prince. When he went to the Lantern Festival to enjoy the lanterns, he bought a lot of lanterns with his own money and gave them to children who couldn't afford them! Many people saw it!"

Someone else shouted, "Your Highness! On the day of your wedding, I was standing by the door to watch the excitement! You were riding a white horse and wearing a bright red wedding dress. You looked so handsome. But when you were helping the bride out of the sedan chair, she almost pulled you down! Luckily, the little guard next to you helped you up, otherwise you would have fallen flat on your face!"

Zhao Xuan shuddered and thought, how come I didn’t know about this?

Gu Zhanghua was also startled and thought to himself, he shouldn't even think about such an embarrassing thing, how come anyone still remembers it?

At this moment, the leading yamen runner stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Zhanghua.

"Your Highness, since you've come out and said this is a misunderstanding, then it must be a misunderstanding. I won't spoil your pleasure and will take everyone away now! Let's continue our patrol!"

Gu Zhanghua looked at the secretary and said, "Give these brothers a few taels of silver. They made us run all this way for nothing. We should at least give them some errand money so we can have some good food and drinks!"

The secretary hurriedly took out a few taels of loose silver from his pocket, walked forward, and stuffed it into the hands of the head yamen runner without giving any explanation.

"If you truly respect our prince, then obey! Take it!"

After hearing what the secretary said, the head of the yamen runners had no choice but to obey. He collected the silver and left with his men.

A large group of yamen runners left in a hurry, but the Moon Tower was still in chaos.

The guests were running and escaping, and the guys in the Moon Tower were carrying tables, moving chairs, and some were sweeping up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. They were working with their hands but staring at them.

Zhao Xuan asked Gu Zhanghua, "Your Majesty, well done! But what should we do now?"

Gu Zhanghua had a headache, so he called his secretary over.

"Shishu, you stay here and help clean up the mess. Talk to the person in charge of the Moon Tower to find out how much silver it will cost to restore this place to its original state. Report the amount back to me so I can have the housekeeper prepare the money!"

The secretary nodded quickly, found the young man who led the yamen runners, said a few words to him, and was then taken upstairs by the young man.

Only then did Chunlan run over to Zhao Xuan and whisper, "Why is there such a big commotion?"

Zhao Xuan sighed and pulled Chunlan aside. "I'll tell you the details later. Now, just stay with Shishu and help him bargain with the boss. Don't ask for too much compensation. It's best to have the boss make a list and then review it. Only then will you accept the bill if there's no problem!"

"I know! Don't worry! The prince and the secretary are both uninvolved in household chores, so how would they know the price of these tables, chairs, and benches?"

"You're right, that's what I meant. Also, are there any of our brothers in Liyang who can do carpentry?"

Chunlan immediately understood: "You want to take this opportunity to find some work for the brothers? This way we can lose less and the brothers can also make some money!"

Zhao Xuan patted Chunlan on the shoulder and said, "Great! You can understand so much from just one sentence! Well done!"

Gu Zhanghua had already walked to the door. He turned around and saw Zhao Xuan still talking and laughing with Chunlan. He felt a little emotional. The boss's temperament was really bold and daring. He was fighting and killing just now, but now he was like nothing happened!

Gu Zhanghua called out to Zhao Xuan, "Princess, why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to stay here for dinner?"

Zhao Xuan asked hurriedly, "Can I eat it? I'm hungry!"

Hao Xiong pulled Zhao Xuan out the door, thinking that his sister's IQ must be low at the moment.

Hao Xiong patiently explained, "Sister! Think about it, what have we done to their Moon Landing Tower? They're lucky they didn't kick us out, and you still want to stay for dinner? Aren't you afraid they'll spit and pee in your food?"

Before Hao Xiong finished speaking, Zhao Xuan rushed out the door first.

When the three of them arrived in front of the carriage parked in Prince Xian's Mansion, Gu Zhanghua remembered something.

He asked Zhao Xuan, "Can you drive a carriage?"

Zhao Xuan shook her head: "Is it okay to learn now? I learn things quickly!"

Gu Zhanghua asked Hao Xiong again: "What about you?"

Hao Xiong rubbed his head and said, "I've driven an ox cart before, but not a horse carriage. It should be similar to driving an ox cart, right?"

Gu Zhanghua walked straight forward: "I don't know how to do that either."

Zhao Xuan and Hao Xiong looked at each other and caught up with Gu Zhanghua.

Zhao Xuan asked, "Are you planning to walk back to the palace?"

Gu Zhanghua opened his folding fan, fanned himself leisurely, and pointed at the restaurants on both sides of the road with the fan.

"We agreed to treat you to a meal, so you can pick whatever you want. Let's walk to a restaurant and fill our stomachs first. It's always a good idea. After we finish eating, the secretary should be done with his work. We can come back to find him and ask him to drive the carriage and come back with us!"

Zhao Xuan clapped her hands and laughed, "Your Majesty is awesome!"

Hao Xiong looked at her sister, who currently had no IQ, speechlessly, thinking, how can this be so great? Isn't this normal operation?
