Just as they were about to go down the mountain, two more people suddenly ran over from the suspension bridge.
This time there were two young people, a boy and a girl. The boy was no more than twenty, and the girl was younger, about sixteen or seventeen years old. They looked somewhat similar, and they looked like brothers and sisters.
When the girl almost ran to the bridge, she raised her hands and shouted: "Chief, the third uncle has sent a message, something happened."
Puyang Hongjun just looked at her indifferently, and frowned slightly. Immediately, someone came to the bridge, stretched out his hand to the little girl, and pulled her over from the bridge.
She immediately ran to Puyang Hongjun, handed a small bamboo tube to him with both hands, then stepped back and stood three steps away.
The young man who came later did the same. He stood beside the girl, but his eyes were respectfully staring at Puyang Hongjun who was reading the note.
After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Su Han: "The third uncle combined with the county records of Cangque County to clearly survey the river channel that was originally used for flood control, but encountered obstacles during the cleanup."
"Where?" Su Han looked very serious at this time, completely losing his naughty and nonsensical look just now.
"Cheng Tianan's Mansion?" Su Han's unfamiliarity with this name made her narrow her stern eyes.
And the majestic aura emanating from her whole body also made people from the Puyang clan look over.
Puyang Hongjun reminded her: "Cheng Tianan, a senior figure in the imperial court during the reign of Emperor Sheng Qin. When the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he resigned on the grounds of old age and infirmity. His original ancestral home was Zhehui City, Fuhui County.
But he has rebuilt a house in Qingque Town, and the local officials are respectful to him because of his original identity and status. This person is not easy to move."
"Anyone who hinders the management of rivers and floods has no mercy. If it is true as you said, he was originally a high-ranking official in the court, and he should know the benefits of this matter. It is an act to benefit the people. He should
The only thing to do is to respond positively. If he uses his original identity and status to hinder this matter, then he is not a person worthy of admiration. He is just a privileged person and there is no need to give him any face." Su Hanhan snorted and said seriously.
.
Puyang Hongjun cupped his fists at her and said, "Then King Laochen will come to handle this matter. At the same time, the clan leader will send twenty clan guards to go to Third Uncle to protect his safety."
Su Han slightly raised his eyebrows and nodded: "It's okay, but before we arrive, please ask the Puyang clan leader to inform the people in the clan not to have any unnecessary conflicts with the local people. His Highness must be sent to protect the third uncle.
It won’t be that bad for a person, but in order to make the elders of your clan feel at ease, I am here to agree to it for Your Highness."
"Then thank you princess." Puyang Hongjun said in a sincere tone. He admired the little princess in front of him even more. Some men must not be able to do this kind of open-mindedness, courage and responsibility.
Su Han also gave him a fist: "Captain Puyang, you don't have to be polite. The third uncle was invited by this princess to come out. The necessary safety guarantee must be provided. I will handle this matter properly and will not let the third uncle suffer."
I’m sorry, clan leader, please rest assured and I’ll take my leave first!”
"Princess, please!" Puyang Hongjun took another step back and saluted her solemnly, and the Puyang people also saluted with him.
Su Han led a group of people up the mountain quickly.
After she went down the mountain and arrived at Fengwu Villa, she asked Zhuo Yufan to lead people to guard here, and ordered all the female soldiers in training, led by Tong Jiang and Yang Chun, to stand by at the south gate of Baifeng City.
As soon as they returned to the palace, Xiao Hang immediately came over and said to her: "Your Majesty, Prince Baoqing, Prince Yi, and Marquis Yanyang are all in the study. Your Highness has asked the princess to go directly to the study after returning to the palace."
"But have you received news from Qingque Town?" she asked him as she walked.
Xiao Hang nodded: "Yes, not half an hour after receiving the news, His Highness is discussing countermeasures with them."
"Got it!" She nodded again and walked quickly to the backyard.
Then he said to Jiang Bin behind him: "You guys don't have to follow me. Just be prepared and follow me at any time."
"Yes!" Jiang Bin responded immediately, and several people turned around and ran towards the guard's office. Yun Shi and Yun Lan also left after seeing her waving.
As soon as she entered the study, she felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit serious.
Moreover, there was one more person sitting in the room that Xiao Hang had not mentioned, namely Xiao Yanchun, the young prince of Li.
She didn't shy away. After greeting them with fists in her hands, she walked directly in front of Xiao Muting, picked up her tea cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Muting took the empty cup and refilled it for her and said, "You know it too."
"Yes, Puyang Hongjun has received the news. I have guaranteed that the matter will be properly resolved and the third uncle will not be wronged." He nodded to him.
"Of course, this is what I promised at the beginning. I never break my promise. The whole county has already learned about the need to rebuild the river for flood control. Qingque Town will not know that Cheng Tianan is looking for trouble for me and wants to use it.
I use my identity to suppress this king." Xiao Muting said solemnly.
Su Hanhan snorted: "Even if the current Pavilion Elder does not follow our plan, he will not be given face. He is just the original Pavilion Elder. By the way, does the status of this Pavilion Elder last for life?
Will it also be hereditary?”
"Pfft...hehe..." Laughter sounded in the room.
She turned back to look at them. Prince Baoqing was holding a folding fan and shaking his head with a smile. Marquis Yanyang was also smiling with his hand over his mouth.
It could only be answered by King Yi. He smiled and said: "If I go back to Auntie Xiao Huang, I won't."
Su Han snapped his fingers and then looked at Xiao Muting: "That's easy to handle. No matter how loyal he was to the late emperor when he was in office, the place where he is now is the vassal territory of your Highness King Chen. He belongs to
The people in the county must obey orders, otherwise they will disobey orders, even if they have a gold medal to avoid death!"
"The little emperor is right. Flood control and flood control are meant to benefit the people. As a former high-ranking member of the court, he would not understand this truth. Although he is no longer in the court, he still pays attention to the promulgations.
If you disobey the laws, you are equally guilty." King Yi immediately agreed.
The Marquis of Yanyang also nodded and said: "That's true. However, Cheng Tian'an was also a person with an excellent reputation during his reign. If such a decisive decision were to be made, I'm afraid it would cause unnecessary trouble. I think there will be no shortage of voices of crusade.
, will it also damage His Highness’s image?”
Xiao Muting immediately said: "You all know what my image is like. I am a martial king. I have always been bold and tough when leading troops in battles. I have never liked the behavior of civil servants in the court, let alone
He will respond, there is nothing to damage his image, and I have already given him face by not killing him directly."
The Prince of Baoqing County said: "But now this is a vassal territory, not a battlefield for you to lead troops to fight. You must know that people's words are to be feared."
Su Han answered: "But people who don't listen to orders and resist and don't obey cannot be tolerated. If every time someone renovates a place, someone jumps out to talk to His Highness and negotiate terms, then when will this governance be completed?
How many people will die?"
After thinking about it carefully, they all agreed with her statement.
Su Han fisted Xiao Muting again at this time: "But we have agreed that if you go, I must accompany you. If you want to stay at home, I will take Prince Yi with you. A prince will come forward.
Coordinating this matter is already giving him face. If he doesn't do this, he will have to deal with it harshly. He can only be the chicken that was killed to scare the monkeys who are still watching.
."
"You can't go!" Xiao Muting held her hand tightly and said nervously.
