"Hoo, ho, ho." Even though His Royal Highness King Chu's Cantonese sounded strange, the people still responded enthusiastically.
"Do you believe me?" His Highness asked again.
"Believe it."
"Hey, I will let the magistrate do justice. You can go back home." His Highness smiled again and said, "Don't let the police catch you."
"I'm not surprised." Even though the people said this, they dispersed as they were told.
Mr. Hu and others also blended in with the crowd and left peacefully...
Lao Liu and his entourage also went to the Chief Secretary's Yamen, accompanied by the chiefs of the Third Bureau of Guangdong.
"Your Highness can actually speak Cantonese." Deng Duo couldn't help but admire him on the way.
"I learned it all when I was a child. I also learned Japanese, although I don't know a few words..." Lao Liu said confidently.
"I've never heard of His Highness using it in Japan." Deng Duo thought for a while.
"It's not the right occasion, so I can't use it." Lao Liu said regretfully. He said in his heart that the main problem was that his teeth were too dark and he couldn't move them into his mouth.
~~
Daotong was also taken back to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
The doctor hired by the Shipping Department treated his wound, and the salt water used to clean the wound was replaced by more than ten basins, and the water in each basin was red.
Daotong had already passed out from the pain. There was not a single piece of skin on his body. The doctor had used up all the medicine he had brought and had not finished treating half of his wounds.
Zhu Zhen was furious after seeing this. He originally planned to accept a banquet from the Chief of the Third Division, but he canceled it immediately.
"Give him the medicine from the Imperial Medical Temple." Zhu Zhen ordered Deng Duo.
"Hey." Deng Duo responded, took out the syringe made by Ouchi craftsman from the medicine box he carried with him, and gave Daotong an injection.
He also took out a packet of white medicine and asked someone to boil it for him to take.
The former is a yellow liquid extracted by King Zhou from garlic, which can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation; the latter is extracted from willow bark, which can reduce fever and relieve pain.
Both of these drugs were widely used during the Japanese conquests. They greatly reduced the pain of wounded soldiers and significantly reduced secondary mortality. The effects were excellent.
~~
In that room, I heard that His Highness was tired and the banquet was canceled tonight, so Yongjiahou and Xu Benya left the Chief Secretary's Yamen.
Seeing the two people leaving dejectedly, the chief envoy Lin Zhongmo couldn't help but gloat a little, thinking that it is true that evildoers will be punished by evildoers, so he smiled at his staff and said: "The Marquis of Yongjia has met his nemesis this time."
"Yes, His Highness the King of Chu's coming here must be more than just rescuing people." The staff member twisted his beard and said, "I'm afraid he will turn Guangzhou and even Guangdong upside down."
"It's time to read it a long time ago." Lin Zhongmo sighed softly and said: "Not only Yongjiahou, but also those stupid local tycoons, if you don't show them how powerful they are, they think Guangdong belongs to them."
"What," the staff member said in shock, "Dong Weng is saying that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not only coming for Marquis Yongjia, but also wants to disturb the He family's gang?"
"Eighty percent of it will be like this." Lin Zhongmo said leisurely: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu's Maritime Administration has written to our province over and over again, asking the three divisions to eliminate pirates and crack down on smuggling. However, the Ancha Division in charge of prisons and the Du Division in charge of coastal defense have violated the regulations every time. Do you think His Highness is annoyed by the perfunctory work?"
"That must be very annoying." The staff nodded and said: "I see that His Highness is so angry that he has started to learn Cantonese. It seems that he is determined to deal with them."
"Well, I was shocked at that time. How determined it was." Lin Zhongmo said with deep approval.
"Your Highness doesn't think we are on the same side as them, right?" the staff member said worriedly.
"No." Lin Zhongmo said with a smile: "Otherwise, His Highness would not live in my yamen. This shows that he at least thinks that I can win over me."
"In the past few years, Dong Weng has refused to join in the trouble with those people. It turns out that he is really smart." The staff couldn't help but admired: "Back then, the students even advised Dong Weng that he might as well live with the light. It was really ridiculous."
"Being with the light and the dust is right in most dynasties, but it is wrong only in my Hongwu dynasty." Lin Fantai, who was sober in the world, said lightly: "Between getting rich and saving my life, I choose the latter."
~~
The other two are not in as good a mood as Lin Fantai...
"Your Highness must have listened to Dao Tong's words and has feelings for us." Xu Benya said worriedly after going out.
"Isn't this nonsense?" Marquis Yongjia said angrily: "If he is not in a mood, can he run three thousand miles to Guangzhou in one breath?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but admire him: "Damn, your body is so damn hard."
Only those who have led troops to fight know how strong physical fitness it requires.
"Master Hou, what should we do?" Xu Benya was not interested in Lao Liu's body, and was only worried about his own life and death.
"Don't panic." Zhu Liangzu said in a deep voice: "Looking at Old... King Chu's reaction today, the evidence in Daotong's hand should have been burned."
"Yes." Xu Benya nodded, otherwise the King of Chu would have arrested the person directly, why would he bother talking to Marquis Yongjia about this nonsense?
"Without evidence, there is still room for change. Besides, it's hard to say whether Dao Tong is injured like that and can survive these two days." Zhu Liangzu said solemnly: "So don't act rashly, wait for the King of Chu to take action first.
We'll see you again and again."
"Oh, that's the only way it can be." Xu Benya knew very well that his arms couldn't hold his thighs back. He couldn't hold back Zhu Liangzu at first, and now he couldn't hold back the King of Chu.
He was puzzled and said: "I really can't figure it out. How can we attract His Highness the King of Chu with just a baseless bullet? Could it be that they had a relationship before?"
"We have a fart friendship." Zhu Liangzu said depressedly: "I just thought about it, they only met once together, and I was there that time. But later the emperor left me alone to give a lecture. I don't know what they said after they left.
"
"You traveled three thousand miles south day and night just because of a one-time relationship?" Xu Benya said in disbelief: "Daotong looks like a bamboo pole hanging a winter melon, how can he be so charming?"
"The charm of farts!" Zhu Liangzu spat fiercely: "It's just a matter of seizing the opportunity and making use of it."
"You said King Chu has been targeting us for a long time?" Xu Benya said with a pale face.
"Nonsense, the King of Chu wanted to monopolize the sea. He tried several times to stop those Cantonese guys from going to the sea, but we all got fooled." Zhu Liangzu was still awake, and now he had figured out why he had offended the sixth man.
"I have long heard that the King of Chu is very petty and will retaliate for his anger. Now it seems that it is indeed the case." Xu Benya said with a trembling voice: "Just look at how domineering he is today. If he deliberately tries to harm us, the Marquis can still withstand it.
I can’t stand it at all.”
"You have to resist even if you can't!" Zhu Liangzu grabbed Xu Benya's shoulder blades and said viciously: "If you dare to betray me, I will kill your whole family!"
"Hey, this official will die at worst, and he will never betray the Marquis." Xu Benya hurriedly expressed his position with sweat rolling in pain.
"Humph, that's not bad." Only then did Zhu Liangzu let him go and cheered him up in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I am not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by him. I, the general who conquered the south, am responsible for regaining Yunnan and unifying the country.
Even the King of Chu would not dare to touch me easily. As long as I am fine, your whole family will be fine..."
Xu Benya knew as soon as he heard this that he wanted to take the blame for him.
Those who can serve as inspectors in a province are not ordinary people. After thinking about it, he knew that this was the best solution at the moment.
