1257. Chapter 1257 Kill chickens to warn monkeys [01]
Soon someone poked his head out from the gate and shouted: "Master Zheng, please come back. The prince and the eldest lady passed by here and went east without stopping."
Zheng Haichao didn't believe it. His spies had found out clearly that Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian came here.
This farm is really big, at least as big as eight or nine others. If it weren't for the name of King Yan, how could it be possible to merge the tenants of so many farms?
His Majesty also asked Xiao Xian to raise five thousand personal soldiers. Isn't this place on the outskirts of Beijing next to His Majesty's bed?
This is simply a very dangerous thing. The emperor is letting the tiger get into danger.
Zheng Haichao thought to himself, seeing that they dared to reject him, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "You are the guards of Prince Yan's palace, not farmers here at all, what are you pretending to be? I am here to issue the decree with the emperor's decree."
I wish you to open the door as soon as possible!"
Would an ordinary farm have such powerful guards?
Except for Xiao Xian, even other princes would not have such ordinary guards guarding the gate.
Huh, if you don't eat the toast and drink it as a penalty, you are simply courting death.
The people on the gate laughed for a while, which was regarded as acquiescence. After all, Zheng Haichao can be like Jing Zhaoyin, and he is also a smart person.
Zheng Haichao thought they were about to open the door, but the people on the gate said that he might be pretending, and that he might be falsely preaching the imperial edict, so he wanted to test it.
As a result, Zheng Haichao was so angry that the emperor asked him to issue the decree, but he never expected that he would encounter such a barbaric thing.
Want to test the imperial edict? Does he think this is child's play?
Zheng Haichao got angry, but no one paid attention to him. They didn't open the door, and even with so many people, he couldn't get in.
Even if it was said that he was passing on the edict, Shen Mingzhu didn't know that he would have something to say when the time comes.
Zheng Haichao was in a dilemma for a while and didn't know what to do.
The stalemate reached the middle of the night, and everyone in the village was already asleep. Occasionally there were barking dogs, but the guards patrolling the gatehouse were very alert. They also sent people to patrol around the walls to prevent anyone from crawling into the village at night.
This wouldn't happen on a normal day, it's just to avoid Zheng Haichao.
He was so angry that he really had no choice.
In the end, he had no choice but to call out to the guard guarding the door, "Since the prince is here, I can just submit the imperial edict."
He asked people to come down and invite the imperial edict in.
Little did he know that those people were so irritating that they actually told him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, the prince and the eldest lady have gone to bed long ago. I'm afraid it's not easy to disturb them at this hour."
Zheng Haichao was so angry that he was trembling all over, "This is an imperial edict. No matter whether he sleeps or not, he has to get up to receive the edict."
The guard rolled his eyes at him and sneered: "Master Zheng is so powerful, then Master Zheng can deliver it himself."
After saying that, he stepped aside and let him in without stopping him.
Zheng Haichao was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that there might be some kind of deceit inside. If he went in, was kidnapped or something, and then stole the imperial edict, saying that he broke into the farm without permission, he might be punished for his crime.
In the past, he had been helping the Liu family for the affairs of the Liu and Chen families.
Shen Mingzhu will definitely hate it to the core.
Zheng Haichao hesitated.
The guard sneered and said sarcastically: "Master Zheng doesn't dare to go either, but don't say we won't let you in. We are servants and don't dare. I didn't expect Master Zheng to have the courage."
