"Who knows, how could we have the courage to quarrel with him?" Fu Qin shook her head in timidity.
What she dislikes the most is dealing with a bad-tempered person. For this type of person, she basically keeps as far away as possible.
When others are around, it's okay to have a few words. If you go alone and provoke others, forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with them.
When Ji Yu learned that no one was going to bother Cang Xi, he said hello, left a group of people behind and ran to do the task of waking up.
A group of officials who were summoned by the reporting officer were so frightened that they almost lost their wits when they heard the shouts of a group of young royal brothers.
When they received the report, they thought they would get another benefit, but they didn't expect that they would bump into a group of princes.
Don't talk about the benefits now. The most important thing is that they don't lose their lives.
In order to make up for their mistakes, the officials took turns beating the landlords to apologize to the princes, claiming to listen to their arrangements.
Cang Xiu didn't know what the situation was like outside. He was eating breakfast with satisfaction at the moment.
Ji Yu bought purely handmade pastries, all of which were sweet. The taste was sweet but not greasy, and they were very delicious.
The buns are also sugar buns. The dough is rough but very chewy. Overall, they are very good.
"Is that enough?" Ji Yu asked and handed over another basket of small meat buns.
He picked one up with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, "How about two meat buns?"
"The meat in ancient times had no additives and was very clean and hygienic. I specially selected it and bought it from my young aunt. You can try it."
Cang Fei doesn't like to eat meat. He usually fills his stomach with sweets and eats less meat.
Seeing Ji Yu holding the buns in front of him, Cang Xiu bargained and said, "Just eat one."
"No, you have to eat two." Ji Yu shook his head, "You have only eaten wild fruits for the past two days, and you have lost weight due to hunger."
"I'm not thin." Cang Xi retorted and took a big bite of the meat bun into his mouth.
Ji Yu was amused, "Why are you eating in such a hurry? I won't compete with you, I will eat it in three bites."
Cang Fu put something in his mouth and said vaguely, "You're not a little girl, why are you so delicate?"
"I'm worried that you're choking." Ji Yu reached out to pick it up and asked Cang Xi to spit it out first.
Cang Fei didn't want to vomit. He chewed hard and took a long time to finish a meat bun, then patted his chest.
Ji Yu hurriedly handed him a glass of water, "Are you full?"
Cang Xi nodded, and then there was another meat bun in front of him.
Ji Yu coaxed Cang Xi into eating the last one, "Be good, finish the second one and it's over."
After Ji Yu had fed the people, he started to eat breakfast. All the food left over by Cang Fei or bitten by Cang Fei went into his stomach.
Cang Ji originally wanted to refuse to eat, but seeing Ji Yu eating so happily, he honestly tore the meat buns into pieces and ate them.
After the two of them finished breakfast and went out, the situation outside was resolved, and the government promised to send them shipbuilding tools.
After the materials were gathered, the local officials came specially to meet with several princes, and also to confirm their identities.
Although pretending to be a prince is a serious crime, there are always people who are not afraid of death, and it is normal for some people to pretend to be someone else.
For example, students who are rushing to take exams often imitate other people's handwriting, and then erase the quota and make up for it themselves.
Some people who occupy people in the government will find people to replace them openly. As long as the news does not reach the imperial city, the local officials can cover the sky with just one hand.
Problems such as corruption, tax deductions and scapegoating are common in local areas. I don’t know how many corrupt officials have been caught, but they can never catch them all.
"Do you doubt my identity?" Being summoned in return, Cang Xi stared at the fat man in front of him unhappily and asked.
The magistrate's official position is considered to be the ninth rank, and he is not even qualified to go to court, but he still has the courage to summon the prince.
"I'm not suspicious." The fat man wiped away the sweat on his forehead.
"It's just that people often pretend to be other people's identities, so...that's why I'm so bold..."
"Presumptuous!" Cang Xiu kicked him over.
He roared angrily, "I bring people to visit the place under your jurisdiction, but you don't treat them well and you dare to question me!"
Cang Fu directly revealed the imperial edict. Seeing this, the people around him knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
The NPCs were all kneeling, and naturally the players couldn't stand to watch the show. The only person standing at the scene was Cang Li holding the imperial edict.
If the player was worshiped by everyone, he would definitely be overjoyed, but the Ninth Prince was so angry that sparks of fire were shooting out of his head.
"Disguise your identity? No one in this world dares to take advantage of my Ninth Prince. Your idea is nonsense!"
"So many princes and princesses are here, do you think they are all here to play monkey tricks?"
"I still suspect that the person who took over the identity may die too slowly? The Lord of Hell has no place to entertain, so he is rushing to seek death, right?"
The local magistrate was made red-faced by what Cang Xi said. There was really no way to refute these words.
It would be fine if his identity was fake, but if he is a serious prince, you have no business and no status, so you have no choice but to step on him.
"Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, please spare your life. I am willing to pay my dues and be at your disposal at any time." The local official knelt down and begged for mercy.
"When did I say that I was going to take your life as a dog?" Cang Xi said angrily.
"In your eyes, am I just an unreasonable demon king? I can't do without asking for my life!"
"Since you are willing to listen to the lord's decision, how about this palace remove you from your official position and demote you to a commoner?"
How could a local official dare to talk to him? This would bring shame on his head and make His Highness the Ninth Prince dissatisfied, making him unpopular both inside and outside.
He regretted it to death. If he had known it was such a hard job, why would he rush to find it again?
Cang Xi impatiently pressed for an answer, "Is it difficult to answer what I said?"
"No, it's not." The local official said with sweat, "I'm your Majesty, I'll let Your Highness do whatever you want, as long as you're happy."
Cang Rao snorted coldly. Seeing that the local magistrate had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, he did not directly remove him from office.
"I want to take people to play flower boat archery. You should know how to arrange it, right?"
The local official nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely take care of the matter and ensure that you have a great time."
Cang Fu pretended to be a prince, sent off a group of coolies, picked a few guards and took them on a parade.
On the surface, he was leading people to explore the public sentiment. In fact, Cang Xiu was observing where there were desserts selling nearby.
Of course, you can't eat openly during the day, otherwise your identity will be exposed in a matter of minutes.
He had to write down the name of the store and come over with Ji Yu to buy it in the evening. He could also save a little more to take back to eat.
Others didn't know what Cang Xi was thinking. When they saw him staring at something, they thought His Highness liked it, so they took the initiative to buy it back.
As a result, no one could figure out what the Ninth Prince really liked, so he bought a bunch of miscellaneous things, none of which he liked.
Because of this incident, Cang Xi, who couldn't eat sweets, became angry. He was unhappy and abused everyone around him.
No player or NPC avoided the powder keg, and even several princes and princesses were punished by Cang Xiu with excuses.
