Immediately, there was an old man with gray hair, who asked curiously: "Little girl, who is that kid you are talking about?" How could he not even be afraid of Concubine Yun? ”

"I don't know who he is, but when Lord Xu saw him, he seemed to be very respectful. "Xiao Qiongzhi replied with a smile.

"What does Lord Xu call him?" The old man asked again.

"What do you think it's called?" Xiao Qiongzhi was vague.

"What's next? Could it be - Your Highness? The old man asked tentatively.

"Seems like so." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded.

"I heard that a few days ago, His Royal Highness Prince Qiu of the Eastern Liang Kingdom and His Royal Highness Prince Kun of the Southern Liang Kingdom passed through our Dingzi County."

"Among them, His Royal Highness Prince Kun also returned to the king of Chu as a guest, accompanied by Lord Xu and Master Zheng, and went to the 'rich house' to eat tiger meat together, perhaps, the kid the little girl said is His Royal Highness Prince Qiu or His Royal Highness Prince Kun, right?" A short uncle was inspired and said with great interest.

"Possibly." Many people immediately echoed him.

"Not necessarily. I heard that Master Zheng used to be the dean of Linfeng Academy, and he was also the enlightenment of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, but nine years ago, because he was involved in the case of the old prime minister Tao Fangweng, he was framed, so he resigned in anger and came back. ”

"At this time three years ago, the King of Chu personally accompanied His Royal Highness Prince Zhao and came to him, trying to invite him out of the mountain and continue to teach His Royal Highness Prince Zhao to read."

"However, Old Lady Zheng had just passed away at that time, and Master Zheng needed to keep filial piety, so he did not promise the King of Chu."

"Now, Master Zheng has been filial piety for three years, perhaps, the little girl met His Royal Highness Prince Zhao who asked Master Zheng to go out of the mountain again." A tall uncle objected.

"That's right, if you don't mention it, I'll forget!"

"If it is actually His Royal Highness Prince Zhao who helps the little girl and them uphold justice this time, then the matter will be beautiful! Hahahaha! The other chubby uncle, as he spoke, actually burst out laughing.

"Definitely! I heard that Concubine Yun, since she married the King of Chu, has been pampered and arrogant, and she didn't put the queen mother in her eyes, and she must have also not put Her Royal Highness Prince Zhao, who was born to the queen mother, in her eyes. ”

"If it is really His Royal Highness Prince Zhao this time, if he helps the little girl and them to uphold justice, he will definitely punish County Lieutenant Zhu severely!" A long-bearded old man next to the chubby uncle was easy-going.

"County Lieutenant Zhu, this brute, because of the support of Concubine Yun Niangniang, has been unscrupulously and scourge many people in our Dingzi County for more than two years."

"Today, if I can see with my own eyes how he fell, it's really a blessing, I have to go back quickly, talk to my brothers, and call them to watch the fun!" There was an uncle with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who seemed to hate County Lieutenant Zhu very much, and after speaking, he immediately turned around and strode back.

I guess I really plan to go back and call a few of his brothers over to watch the excitement together.

"My third brother, in the past two years, I have been bullied by the brute of Zhu County Lieutenant, and I also went home and called him over to watch the excitement together!" A tall and thin old man, like a model, immediately turned around and walked back.

A hunchbacked uncle standing behind him took the opportunity to take a step closer and asked Xiao Qiongzhi with a smile: "Little girl, can you ask your uncle to beat the remaining two drums after a long time?" I also want to go home and call a few good guys in the neighborhood to watch the excitement together. ”

"No, uncle, the beating of the drum must be done according to the rules, every half an hour, once a quarter, otherwise, if the wise and martial little brother waits in the public court for a long time, gets angry with us, and is unwilling to help us, it will be trouble!"

"Why don't you speed up and run home?" Xiao Qiongzhi replied with a smile.

I have no power now, I can only borrow power and take advantage of power, but I can't make Prince Zhao unhappy in order to attract more people to see the excitement, because of a small loss.

"That's fine!" The hunchbacked uncle was also reasonable, and after speaking, he ran back.

Next, many people who were originally like him, worried about going back and forth, and the time was too late, but they wanted to call people close to them to watch the lively people together, and they also followed his example and ran back.

In this way, the number of people who come to see the excitement has naturally increased exponentially.

By the time Zheng Bang finished beating the third drum, the door of the county government hall was already crowded with people, not to mention thousands.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very satisfied, and happily returned to the county government hall with Zheng Bang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Prince Zhao saw her, he actually gave her an approving look.

It is estimated that what she said to the people who were watching the excitement outside just now reached his ears.

She portrayed his image as very wise and martial.

Xiao Qiongzhi had a bottom in her heart and gave him a sweet smile back.

And Xu Nian in the public court has long been ready, just waiting for Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang to return, and has been paying attention to their movements, so naturally he did not miss this small interaction between Xiao Qiongzhi and Prince Zhao.

He waited very interestingly until Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang, accompanied by the two guards next to him, walked to the west door of the public hall to stand by, then picked up the shocking wood, slapped it heavily, and shouted in the direction of the entrance of the public hall: "Silence! ”

"Mighty!" Immediately afterwards, on both sides of the public hall, there were five guards with sticks, and on the one hand, they shouted in unison, "mighty!" The two words, while holding the killing rod in his hand, paused three times at his feet.

At the door of the public hall, there were originally many people watching the excitement, although they were stopped by the four guards who were on duty at the door, three steps into the door, they were all stretching their necks and looking at Prince Zhao.

They secretly pointed at him and whispered to him, either complimenting him on his good looks, or speculating whether he was Prince Zhao, or Prince Qiu, or Prince Kun.

After listening to the shouts of Xu Nian and the ten guards with sticks, they all very wisely and obediently shut up.

There was only a middle-aged woman in yellow who looked to be in her thirties and looked a little similar to Chu Yunqing's wife Zhu, and an old woman in purple who looked to be in her fifties and looked a little similar to Zhu Xianwei, and her eyes secretly looked at Prince Zhao with curiosity and resentment.

And, after listening to the shouts of Xu Nian and the ten guards with sticks, they continued to whisper as if no one was around.

Xiao Qiongzhi immediately pointed at them and told Xu Nian loudly: "Lord Xu, that aunt in yellow and lady in purple are whispering!" ”

"Lord Xu, these two women are not only whispering, but they are scolding the wise and martial arts boy sitting next to you!" An uncle with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was standing next to the two women said next.

Xiao Qiongzhi recognized him.

He was outside the county government before, and if he could see with his own eyes how County Lieutenant Zhu fell, he would be really lucky.
