Originally, he wanted to show off his presence on a whim, but who would have expected that Liu Jie would pop up and help the Fang family clean up their family tradition indiscriminately. Instead, he would become the "evil slave" of the Fang family who exploited the people?
She has never been a good-tempered person. It is her nature to be willful and unruly. But after meeting Fang Jun, she was made docile and docile. She is willing to be gentle and carefree and be a good wife and mother, but this does not mean that she has become a soft persimmon.
.A woman is more willing to change herself for the man she loves to please her appearance, but who do you think you are?
Her Royal Highness the Princess's pretty face was filled with anger, and a layer of frost seemed to have condensed on her little face. She waved her delicate white hands and said in a cold voice: "This person has slandered the royal princess and has no regard for the emperor. Come and take it down for me."
, I will personally tie up this thief and go to see my father, so that my father can administer justice!"
"Here!"
The servants of the Fang family, who had long been filled with righteous indignation, immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and pushed the struggling Liu Ji to the ground. Liu Ji struggled to escape and kept shouting: "Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness, forgive me!"
He finally understood. Today he lost his mind and hit the iron plate. He is not afraid of the princess, but he is afraid of a princess who will take advantage of the truth. He has preconceived ideas and said so unpleasant things. It is no wonder that Princess Gaoyang is so angry. It is embarrassing to beg for mercy now.
But if they really tied him up and charged him with "slander and slander", would he still need Liu Jie's face?
I am afraid that I will become the laughing stock of officialdom...
Moreover, when Princess Gaoyang was sent to His Majesty, he would never benefit from his good fortune. Your Majesty did reuse him, but Ye only reused his reputation and ability. Now that something like this happened, there was absolutely no possibility of any favoritism.
.
Princess Gaoyang turned a deaf ear and showed no mercy.
Even the ordinary villagers and dealers who were watching the excitement on the sidelines had little sympathy. The Fang family has always had a good family tradition, and everyone saw what they did. Apart from gratitude, there was no trace of dissatisfaction or resentment.
? Even if you are a heartless person, you can't find anything wrong with the Fang family.
As a result, such a kind family is slandered by you when you open your mouth. Why?
Fortunately, everyone is here today and can bear witness to the Fang family. If someone who doesn't know the truth hears it, wouldn't it completely ruin the reputation of the Fang family?
In this age of integrity, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen. Even those families that are mean and greedy will show a hypocritical appearance, let alone a family that is sincere, generous and kind like the Fang family!
"Yes, Your Highness will take this guy to His Majesty and sue him severely!"
"How can you slander a family like the Fang family at will? You are really blind and evil!"
"Bah! Why do you still want to be the censor Zhongcheng like this? Hurry up and resign and go back to your hometown to have your child..."
…
Liu Jie is going crazy. Even if he does something wrong with good intentions, in the end it is for the benefit of you idiots. Why doesn't anyone speak up for me?
A bunch of heartless bastards...
Seeing the servants of the Fang family taking out the rope to tie him up, Liu Jie could only plead: "Your Highness, it was the fault of the humble minister. I regret that I should have blinded my eyes by preconceptions. I definitely did not mean to slander Your Highness's reputation. I hope that Your Highness will be magnanimous.
Please spare Wei Chen this time..."
An old face turned red.
Although he has not been aboveboard and upright for most of his life, he has never done anything groveling. It is really embarrassing to be so humble at this moment, but who told him to do such a stupid thing in a moment of confusion and give up the truth?
It is much better to be embarrassed now than to be tied up and sent to Tai Chi Palace. If that were the case, he would really have no shame to hang around in the officialdom...
Princess Gaoyang didn't have a generous mind, and she hated Liu Jie in her heart. How could she let him go so easily? She snorted coldly and remained unmoved.
Liu Ji fell into despair...
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind him: "Why are so many people gathering here?"
The common people and bankers around them bowed down one after another, with respectful expressions on their faces, and they all shouted: "Prime Minister..."
Even Princess Gaoyang in front of her walked out from behind the desk, bowed her head and saluted: "My daughter-in-law has met her father."
Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and a joy of surviving a desperate situation rose from the bottom of his heart. He hurriedly turned around and saw Fang Xuanling, with gray beard and hair and a jacket, standing behind him with his hands behind his back, his clear face full of curiosity.
"Prime Minister! Save the official!" Liu Jie shouted, desperately broke away from the hands of several strong servants, went straight to Fang Xuanling, and bowed to the ground...
Fang Xuanling was startled, and quickly stretched out her hand to help Liu Ji up, wondering: "Liu Yushi, why is this? Get down quickly, get down quickly!"
Seeing that Liu Ji's clothes were messy and dirty, and there were several servants holding ropes in their hands and staring at him, Fang Xuanling was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Although we still don’t know what happened, except Princess Gaoyang, who dares to tie up the dignified censor Zhongcheng?
Fang Xuanling wanted to reprimand Princess Gaoyang, but in the end she refrained from speaking out. Since marrying into the Fang family, Princess Gaoyang has never relied on her status as a princess to boss around. Instead, she has always regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, filial to her parents-in-law and following the rules.
Half a mistake.
Right now, even if Princess Gaoyang has ten thousand faults, Fang Xuanling still has to save her face. He cannot let her get off the stage in front of so many servants and people...
However, his face was naturally ugly, and he said calmly: "Don't be rude to Liu Yushi!"
None of the servants of the Fang family dared to say anything, but the common people who were watching were not afraid of Fang Xuanling because of his identity. Fang Xuanling never put on airs in front of these ordinary people, and everyone was very close to him.
"Prime Minister, what happened today is not to blame, Your Highness the Princess."
"That's right, this censor simply doesn't know what to say. He keeps slandering Her Royal Highness the Princess and exploiting the people. It's right to tie him up before he meets the emperor!"
"Mr. Fang, you don't have to plead for this guy. What kind of censor are you? He's just a fool!"
Talk to the people around you and explain everything clearly.
That’s how it turns out…
Fang Xuanling glanced at the aggrieved Princess Gaoyang and thought that it was no wonder that Her Highness was angry. Liu Ji was indeed a bit reckless and frivolous.
However, he was kind-hearted by nature, but he also knew that Liu Jie must have done it unintentionally, so he said warmly: "There is something wrong with Liu Yushi, but as a censor, he should take it as his own duty to monitor the people's sentiments. If he finds that there is something that is exploiting the people,
, how can we not deal with it impartially? It is precisely because of such incorruptible officials who are not afraid of power and selfless that our Tang Dynasty can prosper and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Your Highness is the princess of the Tian family, so you should be generous and kind. Regardless of your identity, can you personally teach Zhuangzi
We prepared banquets and banquets for the people, how can we regret Liu Yushi's temporary negligence?"
Or how could the same thing be said in different words, the effect would be completely different? Even if Fang Xuanling ordered Princess Gaoyang to release Liu Jie immediately, in front of so many people, Princess Gaoyang would not be able to disobey Fang Xuanling no matter how unhappy she was.
Xuan Ling's wish, but the knot in my heart is inevitable.
But when Fang Xuanling said this now, Princess Gaoyang immediately said happily: "It just depends on daddy's orders."
Liu Jie looked at Fang Xuanling's clear and gentle face and almost shed tears. Lao Fang was indeed a gentleman. Looking at what he said, it made him feel that even if he was tied up, it was because he stood up for justice and interceded for him while still taking care of his face.
, A kind man... Fortunately, Fang Xuanling is here. If Fang Jun is here, he probably will not only not let himself go, but also have to beat him to death...
A small commotion disappeared, and the villagers continued to pay the rent, and then went to the village to unload the grain into the warehouse, and then gathered on the running table in the center of the village to eat and drink, because most of the people who came to pay the rent today were children.
Before leaving after having a full meal, the Fang family specially prepared many exquisite pastries as gifts.
Fang Xuanling invited Liu Ji into Zhuangzi. Liu Ji felt ashamed and said, "What happened just now made Fang Xiang laugh."
Fang Xuanling smiled and waved her hands: "Don't mention this matter again."
Liu Ji felt comforted in his heart, knowing that Fang Xuanling was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he changed the subject and asked: "Why are most of the people who come to pay rent at your home the elderly and children? Why are there no young people in your family?"
Fang Xuanling looked at the noisy crowd in the yard with a gentle and relieved expression, and said with a smile: "The greenhouse must be tidied up now so that planting will not be delayed after winter. Taking advantage of the good weather these days, every family
Work in full swing without any delay. Furthermore, all the children in Zhuangzi are studying and literate in the school, and they only pay rent and taxes. It is enough for these children to come forward, so why do the young adults in the family need to come forward? Speaking of which, young adults
It’s not as good as these dolls that are more literate and sensible.”
