Chapter 350: Disdain

Hearing this question, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't even notice that there were people in the small courtyard.

In fact, Zhao Jingxuan had already noticed the problem early on, but he heard who the people were, and he didn't alarm them.

He turned and bowed respectfully to the visitor.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui is well."

"No courtesy."

Prince Rui came with a personal entourage, and he had already heard that Zhao Jingxuan had come over with his family. Although he was a little surprised that Zhao Jingxuan brought his daughter to Meizhou, he always felt that Jiang Liang was not an ordinary woman, and he was not dissatisfied.

"Lord Zhao, can this road be peaceful?"

He arrived in Meizhou early, but he didn't know much about the situation outside, and when he saw Zhao Jingxuan, he took the initiative to ask questions.

"The journey has been going well, and there is no sign of a large-scale spread of the locust plague to other places, and several other states are actively responding to the situation."

Saying that, Zhao Jingxuan's eyebrows frowned slightly, in fact, after hearing Prince Rui's inquiry, he suddenly remembered an extremely terrifying possibility for some reason.

He couldn't help but look different.

This change did not escape Prince Rui's eyes, and he looked at Zhao Jingxuan, who had always been calm and indifferent, with a surprised face, which made him can't help but become serious.

"Lord Wang, please take a step to speak!"

Suddenly, Zhao Jingxuan raised his head solemnly and stared at Prince Rui seriously. From the look in his eyes, Prince Rui had already read a hint of danger, and he hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Prince Rui didn't speak, just looked at Jiang Liang and the others.

Jiang Liang knew that Prince Rui meant to let them avoid it, so she hurriedly spoke to Yuehua and the others.

"Yuehua, Doctor Zhang, why don't we go to the back kitchen of the government office? I was hungry after a long journey. I also made some pastries for the prince and Ah Xuan by the way. ”

With Jiang Liang speaking out, Yuehua naturally would not object, and dragged the reluctant Zhang Qingting to leave together, leaving Zhao Jingxuan alone with Prince Rui.

After seeing Jiang Liang and them leave, Prince Rui looked at the guards again.

"You go to the door and keep guard, and the idlers can't wait!"

The guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the order to leave.

Seeing that there were no more suspicious characters around, Prince Rui simply sat down with a golden knife and stared directly at Zhao Jingxuan.

"What did Lord Zhao discover along the way?"

"Lord Wang, don't hide it, the lower officials did find something, but it wasn't that there was anything unusual on the road."

Zhao Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to briefly mention what happened in Rongquan City to Prince Rui, and then looked at Prince Rui with a solemn expression.

"Xia Guan suspects that Lord Yang, the prefect of Meizhou, may also have something to do with this treasure alliance."

"Are the Kogu grasses you said really so amazing?"

Prince Rui will also hear about the medicinal effects of Kegu grass for the first time, and at first hearing this kind of thing, he only feels incredible, and he can't believe that there is an herb that can affect people's minds.

But at the same time, he didn't believe that Zhao Jingxuan would deliberately make up stories to deceive him.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but groan for a moment, and then raised his head to stare at Zhao Jingxuan.

His eyes were very cold, with a powerful momentum, as if he wanted to see through the whole person.

"Do you suspect that Lord Yang is a minion of the Zhenyu Alliance in Meizhou, and this locust plague may also be planned by the Zhenyu Alliance?"

"The lower officials don't dare to jump to conclusions."

Zhao Jingxuan listened to Prince Rui's question and hurriedly denied it, he saw Prince Rui's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't dare to hesitate, he directly took out the map of the Qing Dynasty and spread it out on the table, took a brush and delineated the scope of the locust plague that he currently knows.

"As can be seen from the map, the locust plague did break out suddenly from Meizhou, while other places have not been affected for the time being. The long-term drought in Meizhou is one reason, and the lower officials do not think that there can be such a powerful person in the world who can cause such a natural disaster as the locust plague. But if someone wants to do something with the locust plague......"

Thinking of the matter of Rong Quancheng, Zhao Jingxuan's brows furrowed tightly.

He knew that the vast majority of people were greedy for life and afraid of death, and if someone believed that there was a way of immortality in this world, they might do crazy things because of it.

This kind of thing is unbelievable and incomprehensible in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is different in the eyes of crazy people.

They think they're moving toward a great goal, and the sacrifices along the way are nothing.

"Can the prince believe in the method of immortality?"

"Immortality?"

Prince Rui couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. "Life for decades is still difficult, why do you want to live forever?"

Prince Rui is a practical person, he has never thought that immortality is such a great thing, immortality seems very beautiful at first glance, because this person has a youth that can be squandered infinitely, and he has a lot of time to do what he wants.

Yet, day after day, year after year, the man may have had everything enviable at first, but as time goes on, he will continue to gain and then to lose.

After a long time, people will live numbly, what is the meaning of such a life?

"This king never believed in immortality. What can you do in a seemingly long and boundless amount of time? The life of a loser is destined to fail, and the life of a successful person is a success, even if it is short. If you don't have a good life, how much can a long time change? ”

"Lord Zhao, this king is a practical person. This king does not believe that a dynasty will continue indefinitely, and it is normal for dynasties to change, rise and fall, honor and disgrace. ”

Hearing Prince Rui say this, Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but sincerely admire Prince Rui.

He felt that immortality was a very dreamy thing even to him, but he didn't expect Prince Rui to look at it like this.

Prince Rui has a resolute personality, is calm in the face of things, and decisive, which is really admirable.

It is no wonder that the emperor prefers this prince to the crown prince born by the empress.

"So, how does the prince think this matter should be resolved?"

Although he admired Prince Rui for being able to have such an otherworldly idea, Zhao Jingxuan was still wary and didn't dare to really believe that the temptation of immortality had no effect on this prince at all.

It's just a top priority, and what they want to discuss is not this matter, but how to resolve the potential crisis in Meizhou.

The locust plague is the biggest problem facing them at present, and as for the matter of Governor Yang's mansion, I am afraid that it will have to be leaned back.

However, Zhao Jingxuan was worried that this Lord Yang was trying to take advantage of the chaotic opportunity of the disaster in Meizhou to do something.

If this is the case, I am afraid that those victims will become part of the plan of the Zhenyu Alliance, and even the biggest victims of this incident.

Zhao Jingxuan couldn't rest assured when he thought of this, he didn't approve of postponing the matter of Governor Yang's mansion.

Whether this person is really innocent, or whether there is indeed a problem, he feels that it is urgent to investigate the matter clearly.
