Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 259 Princess Gaomi is free, Cui Yuanting takes revenge
Chapter 259 Princess Gaomi is free, Cui Yuanting takes revenge
"I will tell you when I have time."
Cui Zhentang held back his anger and said calmly.
"In that case, I'll go to lunch first."
Fang Yuan nodded with a smile and left.
Cui Zhentang looked at Fang Yuan's leaving figure, his face suddenly gloomy.
After lunch, Fang Yuan and others went back to work in the household department again, and did not end the day's work until they got off work in the afternoon.
After get off work, Fang Yuan did not go home immediately, but went to Chang'an County Government.
The new Chang'an magistrate Cui Yuanting will take some time to come from Hedong Road, so he hasn't arrived yet. Now the Chang'an County Government is temporarily managed by Zheng Mingzhu.
When Fang Yuan arrived, Zheng Mingzhu immediately greeted him with flattery, and his attitude was a bit better than when Fang Yuan was still an order of Chang'an.
This is understandable, after all, Fang Yuan is now a fourth-grade official, no longer bound by the official department, and is a true imperial official.
"Servant Fang, do you have any instructions?"
Zheng Mingzhu smiled flatteringly.
"I almost forgot that a friend was not released."
"Let's go, it's said inside."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Now that Zheng Mingzhu is acting as Chang'an Ling, she cannot bypass him when doing things.
I don’t want others to know about Princess Gaomi, but now I can only let Zheng Mingzhu know about it.
"Is there a friend who hasn't been released?"
Zheng Mingzhu obviously didn't understand what Fang Yuan meant.
Prison is a place where prisoners are held, and prisoners cannot be released casually.
Seeing Fang Yuan walking into the county government office and heading towards the prison, Zheng Mingzhu followed him.
"My lord!"
Zheng Jiu is still in the county government office.
Fang Yuan has just ascended and has not dropped him yet.
"Follow me to the cell!"
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Zheng Jiu immediately opened the prison door.
Zheng Mingzhu watched from the side, not caring at all about Zheng Jiu's attitude towards Fang Yuan.
He understood that he was just an agent, and as soon as Cui Yuanting arrived, he was still a small county magistrate.
As the county magistrate, why should he say too much about the relationship between Fang Yuan and Zheng Jiu?
He even wanted to see if he could get close to Fang Yuan and get some help.
Being very busy, Zheng Jiu took Fang Yuan to the innermost single room.
"Hey, Fang Yuan, why are you here?!"
Princess Gaomi jumped up from the ground after seeing Fang Yuan.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that Fang Yuan had forgotten to release him.
After Fang Yuan was promoted to Minister of Household Affairs yesterday, she found out from the jailer's conversation.
After learning about the situation, Princess Gaomi was so panicked that she worried that Fang Yuan would not have the power to release her after resigning.
By then, even if I won't be imprisoned here for the rest of my life, I will probably be imprisoned for a long time.
"If you find it objectionable, I will leave now."
Fang Yuan stood in front of the cell door and chuckled.
"No, no, no, I don't dislike it."
"Open the door quickly and move me to another place."
Princess Gaomi scolded Fang Yuan as a bastard in her heart, but she was slightly pleading on the surface.
During this period of working with Fang Yuan, she has become accustomed to not pretending to be a princess.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and motioned for Zheng Jiu to open the door.
Zheng Mingzhu looked on with her eyes bulging out.
Oh my god, she turned out to be the Gaomi princess who was searched all over Chang'an City by the Boling Cui family.
The majestic Princess Gaomi, why is she imprisoned in the prison cell of Chang'an County Government?
I’ve never heard of her committing a crime!
No, even if she committed a crime, she would be detained by Zongzheng Temple. Why would she be in a cell in the county government office?
Zheng Mingzhu has several questions in her mind that she can’t figure out.
"Wow, freedom is so good!"
Princess Gaomi walked out of the cell and exhaled heavily.
Although she was not imprisoned for committing a crime, but lived here hiding from the Bolingcui family.
But when she walked out of the cell, Princess Gaomi felt that life was free and her breathing became much more comfortable.
During her time in the cell, she only took a shower once every three days at most. The smell was unbearable every time, and she strongly urged Zheng Jiucai to comply with her request.
Compared with other prisoners, Princess Gaomi's request is extraordinary. How can other prisoners have a chance to take a shower from the time they come in to the time they leave?
"Let's go."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Walk towards Fang Yuan at the prison gate.
"Um, sir, are there any other people who are being imprisoned that the lower officials don't know about?"
Zheng Mingzhu quickly caught up with Fang Yuan and asked with an aggrieved face.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan came to handle this matter today.
If the new Chang'an Order finds out, will he not make things difficult for him until he dies?
"No more, don't worry."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
"Fang Yuan, can I go out openly now?"
Princess Gaomi also asked Fang Yuan.
She was worried that the Bolingcui family was still looking for her.
Although it has been more than a month.
"I've prepared the carriage."
"You'll show your face later and see what's going on."
Fang Yuan said softly.
He has already arranged it.
There is a carriage at the door to pick up Princess Gaomi.
During this period, let Princess Gaomi walk out of the Chang'an County government office to see if anyone in Chang'an City is still watching Princess Gaomi.
If not, it proves that the Bolingcui family's attention to Princess Gaomi has dropped a lot.
"Okay."
Princess Gaomi is full of expectations.
Soon, Fang Yuan and others left the prison and went to the county government gate.
The carriage is at the door, and you can get in at any time after going down the stairs.
At this time, Princess Gaomi, who was dressed in prison uniform, did not attract anyone's attention.
But at this moment, Fang Yuan saw an unexpected person coming over.
Former Bingzhou governor, now the new Chang'an order, Cui Yuanting!
"Fang Yuan, are you still here?!"
Cui Yuanting frowned and said in a deep voice.
He left last night and arrived this afternoon.
After arriving, he met with the elders and took over the post of Chang'an Order.
Mr. Bolingcui had big things to do, so he came to take over eagerly.
"Presumptuous!"
"Who are you, dare to call the Minister of Tobe by his first name?!"
Zheng Mingzhu stood aside, pointing at Cui Yuanting and scolding him.
He also has some discernment and can tell that Cui Yuanting has some status.
But that status is definitely not as high as that of Fang Yuan, a fourth-grade official.
Therefore, he wanted to get close to Fang Yuan and make things easier in the future, so he stood up for Fang Yuan.
But he didn't expect that after scolding the other party, not only the other party looked at him with a confused expression, but Fang Yuan also looked strange.
"My new Chang'an Commander Cui Yuanting!"
"You are the county seat of Chang'an County Government, right? I will remember you!"
Cui Yuanting's face slowly sank.
This was his first experience of being scolded by his subordinates.
"Cui, Cui Ling?!"
Zheng Mingzhu was stunned, her eyes almost bulging out.
He looked at Cui Yuanting and then at Fang Yuan, feeling anxious and uneasy.
"Cui Ling, I didn't know it was you."
Zheng Mingzhu was about to cry.
He wanted to slap himself.
What the hell, why are you so mean-mouthed?
He didn't try to please Fang Yuan when he was there, but he only knew how to please him when he was away, but he offended the new Chang'an Order.
"Humph, I'll settle the score with you later!"
Cui Yuanting snorted coldly.
"Cui Ling, long time no see."
"Let's get together when we have time in the future."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Wave with Cui Yuanting.
Get into the carriage with Princess Gaomi and leave.
"What crime did the man dressed as a prisoner commit?"
Cui Yuanting stared at the carriage that Fang Yuan was moving away from and said in a deep voice.
A dignified fourth-grade official committed a serious crime by personally coming to pick up a prisoner. Do you want to use your privileges?
If this is really the case, then make the matter bigger and make this newly promoted fourth-grade official lose face.
"No, no crime!"
Zheng Mingzhu almost cried.
"What do you mean?"
Cui Yuanting looked at Zheng Mingzhu with a cold face.
"That, that is Princess Gaomi."
"Cui Ling, I only found out today that she was in the cell."
Zheng Mingzhu looked at Cui Yuanting's face and shuddered in her heart.
It’s broken, it’s broken, Cui Yuanting will really punish her to death in the future.
I wonder if we can unite with the chief bookkeeper and a group of doctors to save Cui Yuanting's life.
"It's her?!"
Cui Yuanting was stunned at first, and then his eyes became even more ugly.
When meeting his elders, he was told to use the power of Chang'an County to find Princess Gaomi.
Among them, they also talked about what Princess Gaomi did!
Unexpectedly, Princess Gaomi was hidden in the county government cell!
No wonder the Bolingcui family couldn't find her even after mobilizing so much power!
Let me ask, who would have thought that the princess would be hidden in prison?
"Where is the seal of the Chang'an Order? Hand it over!"
Cui Yuanting walked to the county government office.
"Cui Ling, everyone is not here, why not come tomorrow?"
Zheng Mingzhu said with a flattering smile.
Trying to restore the relationship with Cui Yuanting.
"Can you question my decision?"
Cui Yuanting's face darkened and he said coldly.
As the governor of Shangzhou, Cui Yuanting has a strong momentum.
With this anger, Zheng Mingzhu suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, terrified.
He did not dare to have any further opinions, left with his head lowered, and gave the Chang'an Order seal to Cui Yuanting.
Cui Yuanting took the seal, snorted coldly, turned around and left Chang'an County Government.
He wants to go back to report Cui Runyu and tell Cui Runyu the whereabouts of Princess Gaomi.
Zheng Mingzhu obediently escorted Cui Yuanting to the door and watched him leave.
As Cui Yuanting's figure walked further, Zheng Mingzhu's eyes became darker.
I guess I have completely offended Cui Yuanting, so I can only join forces with the chief bookkeeper and the others to resist.
Also, we need to get closer to Fang Yuan. He should have a grudge against Cui Yuanting, and he should still be able to hug his thigh.
After Fang Yuan left, he prepared to escort Princess Gaomi back to his princess mansion.
However, Princess Gaomi strongly refuted it and asked to return to Fang Mansion to stay for a while.
She was afraid, afraid that the news had not passed yet, and afraid that the Bolingcui family would still stare at her.
Fang Yuan thought for a while and did not refuse Princess Gaomi's request. For more people, there are only more pairs of chopsticks.
Unlike Xue Rengui, one person really eats the food of ten people.
However, he only eats a lot and eats very little food, which is enough for two people at most.
Soon, Fang Yuan returned to Fang Mansion and asked Hongxu and Qinggao to take Princess Gaomi down and inform Du Miaoyan of the situation.
Du Miaoyan also knew about Princess Gaomi and had no objection to Princess Gaomi staying in the house for a few days.
In the evening, Juzi and others came back, Fang Yuan and others started having dinner, and Xue Rengui was also at the dinner table.
Princess Gaomi was enjoying her first meal after freedom.
But when I saw Xue Rengui eating like a starving ghost, my mood suddenly became less beautiful.
"Fang Yuan, your family's customs are still this person's fault. Why do you look so ugly when you eat?"
Princess Gaomi looked at Xue Rengui and complained.
The good mood was ruined by Xue Rengui's greedy eating.
"My host didn't even say anything, but you just talked so much to just one guest?"
Xue Rengui rolled his eyes directly at Princess Gaomi.
He was right. Ever since he moved into Fang Mansion and ate with everyone, Xue Rengui had never been told that he looked ugly.
At most, his two lovely sisters, Hongxu and Qinggao, told him to eat slowly and not to be in a hurry, and also offered thoughtful words such as rice.
"Oh, you dare to talk to the princess like this?"
Princess Gaomi immediately laughed.
Even though she is a guest, she is also a princess.
Members of the royal family are the masters wherever they go.
"Princess?!"
"Cough, cough, cough"
Xue Rengui was startled and then swallowed.
He pointed at Princess Gaomi, his face full of disbelief.
Because I was choked, I quickly drank several mouthfuls of water before I could recover.
"Yes, I am the princess!"
Princess Gaomi seemed to have regained her confidence and said proudly.
During the more than a month she spent in the cell, no one regarded her as a princess.
When they came to Fang Mansion, including Fang Yuan, even the red catkins and Qingyao didn't treat her as a princess.
Now there is finally a young man who is so surprised by her identity as a princess that he is inevitably happy and proud.
"Really, really?"
Xue Rengui couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He subconsciously looked towards Fang Yuan who was not far away.
"Really."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Eat calmly.
So does everyone else.
Everyone present, except Xue Rengui, has not interacted with the emperor and the princess.
Therefore, when Princess Gaomi arrived, no one was much surprised and could get along with her calmly.
"My, my God."
"Bye, meet the princess."
Xue Rengui quickly saluted.
He was shocked and surprised that Princess Gaomi turned out to be a princess.
But that's not what surprised him the most. What surprised him the most was that Fang Yuan could invite the princess to his home.
What a strong relationship this is?
I really hugged my thighs this time. I will work harder and eat less in the future!
"No gifts!"
"Sit down and eat."
Princess Gaomi chuckled.
Seeing Xue Rengui's frightened look, she felt much happier.
"Yes, yes."
Xue Rengui nodded repeatedly.
Sit down and eat obediently, not daring to eat like you did just now.
Slowly, everyone was full one after another, Fang Yuan also put down his chopsticks, and Xue Rengui was almost the only one left.
At this moment, Gouzi walked in quickly from outside, followed by Zhou Shi in a white coat.
"Master, master, something bad is going on!"
"The Chang'an Order came with a large number of people to investigate our Mohist Research Institute."
"We refused, and a conflict broke out between the two parties. It is estimated that a fight has already begun."
Zhou Shi said breathlessly.
"Gouzi, copycat support!"
Fang Yuan's eyes darkened and he said coldly.
Cui Yuanting actually led people to investigate the Mohist Research Institute.
On the first day of taking office, he couldn’t wait to target himself.
How annoying!
"Yes!"
The dog should leave immediately.
He came with him just to wait for Fang Yuan's arrangement.
"Let's go!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
We are leaving with Zhou Shi.
When passing by Xue Rengui, I was so angry that I kicked him on his stool.
"Still eating and going to work."
Fang Yuan cursed angrily.
This guy, ever since Zhou Shi spoke, has been taking food out of his mouth.
"Yeah yeah"
Xue Rengui nodded repeatedly and cooked the rice even faster.
He stood up directly and followed Fang Yuan with his rice bowl in hand. His mouth was so stuffed that it felt like it was about to burst.
