Chapter Forty-Nine: Towards the Flames and Accompanying the Trend

Although Long Ye's sin is unforgivable, Long Yuan is not a troublemaker! - Long Yao (Emperor)

***

Zheng Lugang, the prefect of Hangzhou, was so busy that he came back from dealing with official business outside, and he saw that the whole family was restless, busy everywhere, the girl was busy, watching the excitement, chewing gossip, and a group of people in Wuyang made him have a headache, and shouted: "What are you doing?!" โ€

Before Zheng Lu finished his sentence, he heard his wife Cao Shi already crying and coming out, rolling around, shouting again and again: "Master, someone wants to beat our Qian'er to death!" Master, please call the shots for Qian'er! We are just this one child, Qian'er's hands are gone, and I can no longer write and draw, my miserable son! โ€

Zheng Lu was shocked when he heard this, who was so bold that even his son dared to move? Ate bear's heart leopard gall?

Zheng Lu looked at the Cao family who was crying like that, and it was estimated that he couldn't ask anything from her, so he directly pointed to the little girl who followed his son on weekdays and asked, "Say!" What the hell is going on! โ€

The little servant knew that the protector would not be able to escape the blame, and at this time he was already frightened, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly and told the events of the day.

Originally, listening to the matter of Biyue Tea House, Zheng Lu was so angry that he almost sent someone to arrest Mo Xiangsi and others and came back to torture them, but when he heard that Zhu Yang appeared and talked about the matter of Langxiang Wang Longyuan, Zheng Lu was shocked, and just wanted to ask in detail, but he heard the rumor that Zhu Yang, the chief soldier of the Soldiers and Horses Division, was visiting.

Zheng Lu was in a hurry and had no idea, but when he saw Zhu Yanglai, he made up his mind in his heart, and he didn't care about changing clothes, and said directly: "The front hall is for guests." โ€

After saying that, he hurried away, but when Cao saw that her husband not only did not send someone to arrest Mo Xiangsi first, but instead feasted guests, where was he willing to let go, he still pulled the hem of Zheng Lu's clothes, and even cried and made trouble.

Zheng Lu was upset thinking about the affairs of King Langxiang, so he directly waved away the Cao family, and said coldly: "If they are really the people of the Eighth Prince, then don't say it's your son's hand, even if it's the black gauze hat on my head, it's hard to protect, let me stop." โ€

When Cao Shi heard this, she also had no idea, she was originally just a small citizen in the market, but now how can she still have a relationship with the prince, she is also afraid, and she feels sorry for her son, so she sat on the ground and cried at a loss.

Let's say that Zheng Lu hurried to the front hall and saw that Zhu Yang was already sitting in the main hall drinking tea. Zheng Lu originally had a good impression of Zhu Yang, who had a low official position but was in his hands because of his military power, and besides, Zhu Yang also taught Zheng Qian a few times because Zheng Qian caused trouble, and he was even more embarrassed as a father.

But now this matter is not trivial, Long Yuan is about to come to Hangzhou, and he doesn't know when to leave, Zheng Lu has been thinking about how to please Ba Tie these days, if this Long Yuan has not come, his son will provoke his people, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating.

But now, Zheng Lu was really panicked, and he didn't wait for anything else, he directly arched his hand to Zhu Yang and asked, "Can you really be the person of King Langxiang?" โ€

Zhu Yang also didn't sell Guan Zi like Zheng Lu, and only smiled: "That's natural, Xia Guan personally checked it, although the seal letter of King Langxiang is very rare, but our Terracotta Division has seen it a few times, and there will be no mistake." โ€

Zheng Lu originally had the heart of luck, but now he was completely cold, sat down with weak legs, and muttered in fright: "Didn't you say a group of people from the rivers and lakes?" How can there be a letter from King Langxiang, I only heard that the prince likes to make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't hear that King Langxiang also has a relationship with these people. โ€

Zhu Yang drank the tea slowly, and said with an unhurried smile: "Yes, especially the seal letter of the King of Langxiang, which is light and unremarkable, and now it has appeared on them, I must have a great friendship with the King of Langxiang." โ€

As soon as Zheng Lu heard this, his heart became even colder, but he raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yang again, he was leisurely and complacent, but Zheng Lu's heart was a little more settled, since the person was sent back by Zhu Yang, and he also relieved the siege on the spot, presumably he had a way, so he smiled and said to Zhu Yang: "Brother Zhu Xian came to my house, I'm afraid it won't be just to deliver news to this official." โ€

As soon as Zhu Yang heard this, he also knew that Zheng Lu was on the road, so he put down the teacup in his hand, changed his arrogant look, and smiled respectfully at Zheng Lu: "Your Excellency is wise, your subordinates have always admired your lords, and you want to serve your lords, but you only hate that there is no way to ask for anything." Now, if the adults don't dislike it, the lower officials want to ask for a try, in order to calm things down. โ€

When Zheng Lu heard this, he was a little relieved, and only looked at him and said, "Brother Xian, come and listen." โ€

Zhu Yang picked up the teacup and looked around, Zheng Lu understood, and ordered everyone to retreat.

Zhu Yang said with a straight face: "My lord must also know that this time Langxiang Wang Longyuan came to Hangzhou to take up this idle position, but he was actually degraded. However, the people under the eighth prince did not know how to restrain themselves, and they dared to beat the prefect in public as soon as they came. โ€

Zheng Lu listened to what he said, but he was relieved in his heart, this is not bad, now Long Yuan is also a "guilty body", this kind of thing, he naturally will not make a big fuss, if once the emperor knows that he has made friends with people in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will not be good for Long Yuan. But Zheng Lu's brows still furrowed: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, and the virtuous brother can't talk nonsense." โ€

Zhu Yang saw that Zheng Lu was restrained, so he could only show his loyalty again, and said: "My lord also knows that the future throne is only two people, but now because of the matter of Huashan's sword, the emperor is angry, although the prince has not been abolished, but he has been grounded in the East Palace, which is a great humiliation, and although Longyuan, the king of Langxiang, has been demoted to Jiangnan, he is also an official." How the emperor's sacred heart is, you can still speculate. โ€

Zheng Lu said: "In this way, we must not threaten, but try our best to resolve it." โ€

Seeing Zheng Lu say this, Zhu Yang finally felt a little relieved, got up and said: "Xia Guan has also dealt with this group of people a few times, and not all of them are as rude and willful as that woman, and there is also one who can listen to reason, they naturally want to calm things down, if this matter is handled well, let them shut up and cover up a few words in front of the prince, there is also some hope." At that time, Lord Zheng will carefully arrange some scenes for the prince, and sincerely make amends, and the prince will not say anything more if he is afraid. โ€

Zheng Lu only nodded when he heard this: "Now there is only that, then there is Brother Lao Xian, the period of the arrival of the prince, it is only in these few days, and the virtuous brother should still take precautions as soon as possible." โ€

Zhu Yang bowed and said, "I will live up to my trust." โ€

Zheng Lu smiled and patted Zhu Yang's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhu Xian, I am really wronged in a small general military committee in the Soldiers and Horses Division. โ€

Zhu Yang also smiled: "Adults have won awards." โ€
