Chapter 223: Cheeky Acme
Princess Tangchang wore a luxurious princess skirt and ran all the way on the township road, which became the most beautiful scenery in the history of Tianchang County, and also became the most talked about topic among the people of Tianchang County in the next 30 years - think back then, your ancestors and I were the ones who beat the princess!
When Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao Cui Pu learned that Princess Tangchang and her party were beaten by the people and fled before they could enter the county, the two looked at each other and smiled, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've used this trick to confuse the public. At present, Princess Tangchang must have regarded our Tianchang County as a daunting path, and she will not dare to come again in the future. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.
"Isn't it true that she won't dare to come back in the future?" Cui Pu nodded triumphantly.
"Yes, this time so many people drove people away together, not to mention the large number of people, the target is still scattered, she wants to come back to find someone to retaliate and doesn't know who to find, so she can only swallow this evil breath. Mu Jiaojiao said. She paused, "However, I'm afraid that she won't be able to swallow this breath so easily." ”
"No matter how hard it is, she has to swallow it! Since I have incited the people to stand up for us, then I must keep them safe. If I can't do this, what's the point of my county order?" Cui Pu clenched his fists and whispered with determination.
Mu Jiaojiao guessed correctly. Princess Tang Chang fled all the way back to Yangzhou Mansion and recuperated for a whole night before finally calming down. Thinking back to the incident that happened on the outskirts of Tianchang County, she couldn't help but be furious, and really wanted to drag Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao out and beat them to death! Just thinking about the fierce combat effectiveness of that group of mobs, she still didn't take action, but called someone to invite the Yangzhou prefect over.
Since the princess arrived in Yangzhou Mansion, the Zuo prefect began to be worried. What happened on the Slender West Lake that day made his heart beat for a long time. Although the matter was not over in the end, he knew in his heart that this matter must not be over!
Now, when he came to the princess's mansion, his heart began to beat up and down.
It was easy to see Princess Tangchang, and when he finished bowing, Princess Tangchang said: "The whole county of Tianchang County is full of Diao people, I just came to seek medical treatment, who knew that those Diao people actually asked for a huge amount of tolls at the gate of the county seat, and if we didn't give it, they would drive us all the way out! This group of lawless Diao people must be severely punished, you should send someone to arrest them back and ask for the guilt!"
Sure enough, the time to come is still coming.
In fact, what happened to Princess Tangchang on the outskirts of Tianchang County, Zuo Governor had already heard about it. In addition to secretly sighing Cui Pu's audacity, he actually felt very gloating about Princess Tangchang's down-and-out appearance. It's just that now, Princess Tangchang actually asked him to come forward to arrest Diao Min in Tianchang County? Isn't this letting him and Cui Pu go against each other? And Cui Pu is already bold enough to directly instigate his people to beat the princess to the ground, what is this prefect in his eyes? Isn't it self-defeating to find the door by himself?
Keeping the old lady's lesson in mind, he said respectfully: "This matter is really bad, if it is not handled properly, the impact will be extremely bad!
Ahh
Nine times out of ten, Cui Pu's bastard caused this incident. Now let him investigate? Doesn't that give him time to hide the criminal?
Princess Tang Chang asked someone to take out a stack of portraits: "This is the appearance of several leaders in the mob that attacked us, I have already asked someone to draw them." You just have to take the portrait and go to Tianchang County to arrest people. I don't want to worry too much about those little minions now, you just punish these perpetrators and make me angry!"
has dealt with Cui Pu so many times, and she has also learned to be smart. Knowing that there is a word called not to blame the public, then simply grasp a few typical examples to teach a lesson!
When Zuo Zhifu saw this pile of seven or eight portraits, he immediately shouted in his heart.
It's just that Princess Tangchang has already prevented him from coming to this point, and he can't deal with the past vaguely anymore, so he can only take the portrait, and go back to ask someone to pass Cui Pu over for questioning.
However, when he went, he returned empty-handed: "Master Prefect, Cui Zhixian said that he fell into the lotus pond during the day and contracted the wind cold, so he couldn't get out of bed these days, let alone come to Yangzhou Mansion." He also said, "If anything happens, just call someone to inform him, and he will do it." ”
Is this the attitude of doing what he tells him? The corner of Zuo Prefect's mouth twitched. "And what about the portraits? Didn't you pass on my words to him?"
"It's been passed on, and it's been said. It's just that Cui Zhixian insisted that nothing like this happened in the suburbs of Tianchang County, it was Princess Tangchang who went to play, and the person who accidentally carried the sedan chair fell and injured her, and those people deceived her that she couldn't see it, so they made up a lie that the people of Tianchang County joined forces to bully them. And the people in those portraits are also the most honest people in Tianchang County, and the biggest evil thing they have ever done in their lives is to slaughter a few chickens and kill a few fish, and every time they see him from afar, they will kneel down and say hello! With such little guts, how dare they do anything to Her Royal Highness the Princess? Therefore, he insisted that the matter was a misunderstanding and refused to hand over the people. ”
Lawlessness!
Hearing this, Zuo Prefect's mouth was so open that he could almost stuff a goose egg into it.
He knew that Cui Pu was shameless, but he didn't expect this person to be so shameless! Before he was a weak crown, his ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open had already reached this point. If he is given a few more years of training in the officialdom, then there are few people who can be his opponents!
He finally understood what the old lady said that day, and repeatedly warned him not to deal with this one more - this kind of scoundrel-like character, but still pretending to be so glamorous on his face, can really be described as the most oily and vicious race in the world. If you accidentally offend him, wouldn't you be in a big trouble for yourself? Isn't the Princess Tang Chang in front of you the best example?
After figuring this out, he only called someone to send a message to Cui Pu and told him that he would be recuperating and that he would not be in Yangzhou Mansion for the time being. Then he went to Princess Tangchang and told her the truth what Cui Pu said.
After hearing this, Princess Tang Chang was furious: "Okay, Cui Pu! He actually framed me like this, it's an unforgivable crime! He relied on him to have a pavilion father, and he did whatever he wanted in Yangzhou, right? I'll repair a letter to inform Daddy, and let the sage Daddy teach him a lesson!"
If this matter is escalated to the saint, it will have little to do with him. Zuo Governor couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will order someone to prepare a fast horse and send your letter to Chang'an as soon as possible." ”
"Don't pretend to be attentive here! Think I don't know, you're all in the same group! I'll definitely let Daddy clean up with you!" Princess Tang Chang didn't accept his affection, and scolded again.
Zuo Zhifu didn't care: "If the princess insists on doing this, the lower officials will naturally not be able to stop it." ”
Looking back, he snorted coldly--if the culprit Cui Pu could get away with it, what reason would the saint have to clean him up? He obviously had already done everything according to Princess Tangchang's orders. Although there are some aspects that are contrary to the yang and the yin, does she have any evidence?
Princess Tangchang's letter was sent to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 600 li. After the letter was delivered, she began to wait day and night, waiting for the saint to decide for her.
After waiting for nearly ten days, it was easy to wait for the angel to come, but she was reprimanded with a head and face!
"The sage ordered the slave to tell the princess that you are unwell and have come to Yangzhou to recuperate. Since it's a recuperation, you should stay in the house and don't run around if you have nothing to do. Although the city of Yangzhou is rich, there are still many illiterate ordinary people. The countryside is very chaotic, and the road is difficult to walk, princess, you accidentally fell, this is not a big deal, the sage has already sent Imperial Doctor Wu from the Tai Hospital to treat you. The eunuch screamed and called an old lady doctor with a scruffy beard over and asked him to take the pulse of Princess Tangchang.
Princess Tang Chang was so angry that she trembled: "You get out of here! I don't want you to see it!"
The old lady doctor was pushed to a stumble, and sure enough, she didn't step forward anymore.
The eunuch didn't insist, but smiled coldly and said: "The sage has ordered, in the future, let the servants stay here to take care of the princess, and save those children from clumsily serving the princess." By the way, the servant has a great thing to tell the princess - not long after you left, the two beautiful concubines that the saint had given to the concubine were diagnosed as pregnant. In five or six months, you will be the aunt of two children, princess!"
Princess Tang Chang was immediately attracted by this incident.
"Those two, they actually secretly poured out the avoidance soup! No, I want to go back to Chang'an, let's leave now!"
The sage said, you are not feeling well, and you have recovered from your illness in Yangzhou in the past six months, and the slaves will definitely serve you well. As for the bodies of the two beautiful concubines, you don't have to worry, the pony will take good care of them. The eunuch said coolly.
Princess Tang Chang's body was weak, and she was powerless to crawl all over her face.
And just when Princess Tangchang suffered two blows in succession, Cui Pu was also being reprimanded by the people sent by Cui Ge.
"Sixth brother, you are a little too bold! You actually gathered the people to beat the princess away...... How did you come up with such a method? Daddy was stupid when he heard about it, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a long time. Thanks to someone who informed Daddy of the matter in advance, Daddy hurriedly went into the palace to ask the saint for his guilt, so that the matter could be turned into a disaster. Now, Daddy asked me to beat you with ten lashes on his behalf to set an example!" Cui Saburo held the whip in his hand and shouted helplessly.
Cui Pu obediently knelt below: "Daddy's lesson, my son will remember it." Daddy Lao is running and working hard for his son in Chang'an, these ten whips are deserved, thank you Daddy for the lesson!"
With that, he took off his shirt and let Cui Saburo give him ten strokes on the back.
Cui Saburo and he are brothers, and the two have had a good relationship since childhood. Now that he did it, he only had to give ten gentle strokes, and the matter would be over.
After the incident, Cui Pu hurriedly asked someone to take Cui Sanlang to the guest room to rest, and he went to Mu Jiaojiao.
"Hurry up and take off your clothes, I'll give you some medicine!" As soon as he entered the door, Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly sat down with him.
Although it was only a gentle ten lashes, it also left a few bright red marks on his back. Cui Pu's skin is white and tender, and he can be broken by blowing, which is much better than Mu Jiaojiao's. After only a few strokes, there are actually several places where the skin is broken!
Mu Jiaojiao was so distressed that she carefully applied medicine to him, and then asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, Brother is not ruthless. With your medicine, it should be fine in two days. Cui Pu shook his head.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at him. "Since it doesn't hurt much, and this matter is over, why are you still so sullen?"
Cui Pu looked at her and stopped talking.
It took him a long time before he spit out a sentence: "It's almost August 15." ”
