Chapter 319: Burning the Village
The number of patients in the village suddenly doubled, Dai Mei and Quanfu and others ignored Xu Ji's obstruction, they all ran in to help them, Xu Ji threatened to burn the village outside, Ye Hao didn't even pay attention to him, only bent on curing all the patients.
"Xu Dubiao, the burning of the village is not trivial, you had better think twice." Zheng Yulong said to Xu Ji.
Xu Ji looked at the firewood that had been piled up with a gloomy face, he naturally wanted to burn the whole village with a fire, but ...... He could take the risk of burning Lu Yaoyao to death, but there was also an emperor Fuchen inside.
He didn't dare to attack Huangfu Chen, who knows how much strength the Huangfu Dynasty still has now? At the beginning, the Huangfu Dynasty abdicated by itself, not defeated, and now even the Mo royal family is respectful to Huangfu Chen, if he really burns Huangfu Chen, he is only afraid of ...... The entire Xu family will be buried with them.
"Two days later, if those sick people still don't have any complexion, then it's no wonder that Ben will be ruthless." Xu Ji said coldly.
"How ruthless do you want to be?" Xu Ji had just finished speaking, when a mellow voice sounded from behind him.
When Xu Ji heard this unfamiliar voice, he was unhappy to be questioned, turned his head and glared, and saw that the person who came was a young man, who had never seen it before, and there was even more disdain in his eyes, "Who are you, you dare to question the general?" ”
"You don't even know me, so you dare to murder the princess?" Tang Zhen's eyes looked at Xu Ji coldly, he had just come out of Huaijiang City, and Qi Yizheng had already told him everything, this Xu Ji actually wanted to burn him to death, regardless of the identity of the princess, and his sinister heart was known to passers-by.
"Marquis Jingning, go to the village to find the princess." Xue Lin followed behind Tang Zhen, now he was most worried about whether the princess would be injured, the emperor asked him to follow the princess, he wanted him to protect the princess, if the princess had any mistakes, he could not apologize even if he died.
Although Tang Zhen also wanted to go in immediately to find the young man, he still had to teach Xu Ji a lesson, so he let Xue Lin enter the village first.
"Who are you to dare to look at no one like this?" Xu Ji didn't hear the Jingning Hou in Xue Lin's mouth, he saw that Xue Lin had already walked towards the village, and there was a kind of anger that was ignored and contempt, and he immediately went to catch Xue Lin.
Xue Lin turned around and kicked him fiercely, "If you weren't Prime Minister Xu's son, I would have killed you today, you didn't even pay attention to Mr. Huangfu and His Royal Highness the Princess, and you dare to say that no one is in the eyes of others, even if you don't know the princess, Jingninghou, you should always know, right?" I really don't know what to say. ”
Jingning Hou Tang Zhen? A flash of panic flashed on Xu Ji's face, and he looked back at Tang Zhen in surprise, "You...... Are you Tang Zhen? ”
How can it be! Isn't Tang Zhen in Kyoto? How did it appear in Huaijiang?
Xue Lin snorted coldly, turned around and hurriedly walked into the village.
Xu Ji couldn't stop Xue Lin anymore, he could threaten Lu Yaoyao, that is, he knew that Lu Xiaoyao was not a real princess, and the queen mother and the emperor might not take her to heart now, but Tang Zhen was different, Tang Zhen was a close minister of the emperor who had the merit of the dragon, and everyone knew that the most trusted person in the saint today was Tang Zhen.
"Xu Ji, I heard that you are going to burn the princess?" Tang Zhen smiled a little terrifyingly.
"The plague is spreading so badly that all the people in the village are dying, and this is done so that the plague does not spread even more." Xu Ji was nervous, but he still forced his composure.
Tang Zhen looked at him coldly, "In this way, Xu Dubiao is still thinking about the people, so he wants to burn all the people inside?" ”
Without waiting for Xu Ji to nod, he shouted again, "Who gave you such a right?" Who allowed you to burn the village? Who allowed you to trap the princess in the village? The princess is the queen mother's own title, although she has no royal blood, but she has the title of princess, you are a little governor, you dare to commit a crime, is this a good son taught by Prime Minister Xu? ”
Xu Ji sweated on his forehead, he hadn't received his sister's message before he planned to burn the village, and when he received the book, he had already given an order, and now he didn't remove those dry firewood to scare Lu Xiaoyao, he never expected Tang Zhen to appear here.
"Even if you want to stop the plague, it must be based on the opinion of Yizheng, Qi Yizheng clearly told you that the plague has improved, why do you still burn the village?" Tang Zhen didn't give Xu Ji a chance to speak, and continued to scold in a deep voice.
Everyone around didn't dare to squeak, just watching Xu Ji being scolded by Tang Zhen continuously.
Xu Ji's face turned white and red, he was Prime Minister Xu's son, so he didn't dare to go anywhere, others would always give him three points of thin noodles, and no one dared to scold him in public like this.
"Marquis Jingning, the lowly party has already said it, that's ...... In order not to let the plague infect more people, and even before the princess entered the village, she had already been warned by the lowly position......" Xu Ji defended with his neck crossed.
Tang Zhen sneered, "Warning? Xu Ji, such words come from your mouth, it's really surprising, you have any excuse, today's matter, there will be a holy judgment in the future, you can tell the emperor your justification in the future. ”
Xu Ji's face became more and more ugly.
Tang Zhen turned his head to look at Zheng Yulong, "Lord Zheng, what do you think of this dry firewood?" ”
Zheng Yulong hurriedly said, "Xiaguan immediately asked people to get all this dry firewood. ”
"Marquis Jingning, if the plague in the village spreads to the outside, who will be responsible for this?" Xu Ji asked loudly.
Tang Zhen glanced at him with a smile, "You just need to be careful not to be infected." ”
Xu Ji was furious when he heard this, isn't this obviously cursing him? But he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, as far as the few black-clothed people behind Tang Zhen didn't look like ordinary guards, he didn't dare to challenge Tang Zhen's status in the emperor's mind.
"Go back and tell Governor Zhang, Ben Hou is waiting for him here, get out!" Tang Zhen snorted coldly and drove Xu Ji away unceremoniously.
"You ......" Xu Ji was so angry that he almost wanted to spurt out a mouthful of blood, it was a great shame, no one had ever treated him like this.
Tang Zhen ignored him anymore and strode towards the village.
Zheng Yulong didn't look at Xu Ji, but ordered the soldiers around him, "Hurry up, take away all the dry firewood and vegetable oil in the village, hurry up." ”
Xu Ji looked at Tang Zhen's back with a pale face, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely return all today's insults to him.
Although he didn't achieve the goal he wanted, at least the things that his sister explained were completed, Lu Xiaoxiao already knew that he had fallen out of favor, and he shouldn't be too arrogant when he returned to Kyoto, and his sister's position in the palace should be more stable, as for what Ye Yaoyao, a woman of unknown origin, even if she was made a concubine in the future, how could she be her sister's opponent.
