Qizhou City in summer is really hot, and I know that there is a non-stop cry of "hot, hot" on the trees.

In the hall of the government office, all the officials sat upright, and their eyes were all looking out of the door.

Among them were the envoys who went out of Beijing with the crown prince, and there were also local officials in Qizhou.

Early in the morning, Lord Luo sent someone to inform him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had returned safely, and asked you to go to the palace to talk about it.

The officials were amazed, then ecstatic.

The hearts of the envoys and officials, who had been tense for several days, were finally relaxed.

Now it's okay, the head on the head doesn't have to move.

But the local officials in Qizhou were not very happy.

Lord Thorn Shi is a bit excessive, he didn't even tell them in advance about such an important matter.

Lord Luo wants to take on a big job.

However, no matter what, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally returned safely, hearing is false, and seeing is believing.

Because of this, the officials who received the notice did not even have time to eat breakfast, so they washed and changed their clothes and hurried to the government office.

However, waiting left and right, it was almost noon, and the prince was not seen.

Where can the envoys and officials still sit still, and they have spoken out to question Lord Luo.

Lord Luo himself is also bitter.

sent several groups of people to the guest house one after another, and the reply was that Shen Gongzi and his party had gone out early.

As for where it went, the guys shook their heads and said they didn't know.

At this time, Lord Luo regretted it so much, he should have insisted that the girl lead him to the prince last night, and no matter how bad it was, he would send his cronies to protect the prince.

He now suspected that the girl was lying to him.

I'm really right, why did I believe her words.

She is a yellow-haired girl, even if she is a little smart, she can't really rescue the prince by herself.

The battle outside the city last night was indeed very noisy, and he also believed that it was indeed the group that kidnapped the prince who fought with the officers and soldiers, but it did not mean that the prince was really with that group at that time.

Maybe the girl also pounced, and she didn't find the prince at that time, and she was afraid that she would blame herself, so she lied that she had rescued the prince.

His grandmother's, who was deceived by that girl.

Lord Luo made up for it himself, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

However, in front of so many officials, his fire could only be held in his heart, and he did not dare to reveal it on his face.

"Maybe I've been delayed by something, let's wait and see." Lord Luo smiled and said dryly.

The envoys were not so easily dismissed, and one of them sneered: "I said Lord Luo, you have also been a magistrate for so many years, you should know that some things can be joked, and some jokes must not be made." ”

Lord Luo hurriedly stood up and saluted the officials present, "How dare the lower officials, I did see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, and His Royal Highness said that he would have a good night's rest, so that he would have the spirit to discuss with the adults today." ”

At this point, he only bit it to death and said that he had seen the prince, and continued to drag it back.

"Then why don't you send Your Highness to the post house, and don't send troops to protect it. It's your rereliction of duty, you know? Lord Yang also couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted.

Lord Luo knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the lower officials who have not thought it through, please forgive me." ”

"Forgive me? It's a matter of His Royal Highness's safety, do you want this official to forgive me? Lord Yang sneered and looked at him, "I see that you haven't found the prince at all, tell me quickly, what is the intention of tricking us into coming to the mansion?" ”

He was the highest-ranking of all the officials present, and he had the most to do with the Prince's accident, and he wished His Royal Highness the Crown Prince safe more than anyone else. He is a civil official, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he is not familiar with the place in Qizhou, so he has to rely on the help of Lord Luo and other local officials.

But on the other hand, he actually looks down on these magistrates, especially those who have no family protection.

When the Tiannu Bridge had an accident, the officers and soldiers were late, if it weren't for the timely rescue of the nearby villagers, many of them might have gone to see the king of Hades, which made him feel uncomfortable, for the sake of His Royal Highness, he endured it, and went against his heart to accompany this Lord Luo with a smiling face, set closely, hoping that he would be more efficient and rescue the prince as soon as possible.

But it backfired, seeing that he had lived for many days, but there was no clue at all, which made Lord Yang not annoyed, and then he was not so polite to him.

At this moment, Lord Yang had even more anger at being deceived.

Lord Luo was also annoyed, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he blushed and said, "I'm full, why are you lying to you?" It has been said that Your Highness has something to delay, and you have been waiting for so many days, can't you wait patiently any longer? ”

"Wait, Lord Luo, what else can you do besides make us wait? Is this how you waited for your position as a assassin? ”

"I don't think you're doing your best."

"Oh, forgot, you are the parent official of this Qizhou; And the Guo family is also the people under your rule......"

Officials present: ......

This is a bit intriguing.

Even if Lord Luo had not yet taken office when the Guo family had an accident, he could not stop the verbal criticism of these civil officials.

At this time, Lord Luo was really angry, and his eyes widened and he glared at the adult who was speechless just now, "Okay, wow, it turns out that in addition to talking nonsense, Lord Tang is best at spewing blood?" It's just that before you open your mouth to spew blood, can you go to the officials of the Ministry of War to inquire about the history of the Qizhou assassination when the next official was appointed, and when did the Guo family happen? ”

"According to what you say, all the territories of our Daqian are under the jurisdiction of Your Majesty; All the people of our great cadres are His Majesty's people. If the people have it, Your Majesty will be jointly and severally liable? ”

"Luo Hai, you are presumptuous!" Lord Yang hurriedly shouted, so angry that he couldn't take a needle to sew his mouth on the spot.

That's too much of a rebellion.

Lord Luo was worried that there was nowhere to go out of his belly, and this completely broke out, "I am presumptuous, Lord Yang, you are a high and powerful position, you are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, trusted by Your Majesty, and you are not afraid of this sewage splashing on you, but the lower official is different. ”

"This time, in order to save the prince, Xia Guan was even more exhausted, running around day and night, and in the end, hehe...... Let me ask, Lord Yang, you envoys and adults who followed the prince out of Beijing at the beginning, eating and living in the post house these days, in addition to sneering at the lower officials, have you ever done a practical thing to rescue the prince? ”

Officials: ......

Silly.

How did they know that this Lord Luo, who had never paid much attention to them, dared to say such "true" things in front of them?

It's true.

Indeed, these days, they really don't do anything except eat, sleep, and occasionally show some worried looks on their faces when they see their colleagues, and talk about worrying about the prince.

It's mainly because they are not familiar with the place, and they are all civil officials, and with Lord Yang here, it's not their turn to worry......
