Everyone in the lobby was stunned again, not knowing who this person was. She was dressed in a red outfit and looked young and handsome, like a woman.
Puyang Ruiyan immediately bowed: "I will obey my orders."
King Yi also stood up again and clasped his fists at Puyang Ruiyan: "Then it's up to Rui Tong to judge. This king has brought about 10,000 troops. I will give you half of it first. Is it enough?"
Puyang Ruiyan thought for a moment and then replied: "It should be enough for the time being, let's do it first."
King Yi called out to the outside of the hall: "Chen Heyu listens to the order."
"We will be here!" Chen Heyu said on one knee outside the hall.
"I order you to dispatch 5,000 soldiers to accompany Ruitongpuan to clean up the river. They must obey Ruitongpang's instructions and dispatch. Anyone who disobeys the order will be dealt with according to military law." King Yi ordered.
"General, you will obey the order! I promise to complete the mission!" Chen Heyu replied loudly.
King Yi said again: "The remaining Chilin Army will follow me to Cheng Tianan Mansion. I want to chat with this old man from the front cabinet!"
"Yes!" Chen Heyu replied immediately, got up and went to make arrangements.
King Yi looked at Puyang Ruiyan again: "Rui Tongpan, I will entrust you with the five thousand Chilin Army. You will make all arrangements. If you have other requests, don't worry, just feel free to put them forward."
"I would like to thank His Highness King Yi! I will do my best." Puyang Ruiyan said loudly and excitedly.
King Yi walked out of the lobby, followed by county officials. He turned to look at them and said with a smile: "My lords, I will just go with the county magistrate. You can go back first."
"Your Majesty, listen to your orders!" All the adults said in unison.
As soon as they left the Yamen, they saw that Cheng Tianan's group was still outside. At this time, there were also many people watching around the Yamen, all wanting to see what would happen next.
Sun Jizong wanted King Yi to get on the sedan, but he immediately refused after seeing Su Han who had already climbed onto the horse. He quickly mounted the horse, let Sun Jizong sit in the sedan, and walked in the direction of Cheng Tianan.
When he arrived in front of this group of people, Cheng Tianan opened the sedan curtain and poked his head out. He was a seventy-year-old man, but he had a face that was less than sixty years old, because of his smiling expression.
, all the old wrinkles on the face are squeezed together, really like a bun full of wrinkles.
But he didn't look kind. He looked like a shrewd and calculating man. He was on the thin side, but the song brocade robe he wore caught both Su Han and King Yi's eyes.
Although Su Han doesn't know much about this kind of clothing fabric, she heard it mentioned by Grandma Yang and Grandma Shen, and she also has several pieces of clothing made of this material in her wardrobe. It is said that this material is worth one gold per foot.
It's a valuable thing.
At this time, Yun Shi urged the horse to come behind Su Han and King Yi, and reminded in a low voice: "I have already checked. The Cheng family's mansion is so big that it occupies most of the entire southern part of the town. It has two streets.
Our palace is more than twice the size."
King Yi was shocked, didn't Cheng Tianan want to live? No wonder he didn't let his house be demolished.
Su Han's surprise wasn't that great, because she didn't even know how big the Prince Chen's Mansion she now lived in was. Judging from the few courtyards she often visited, it seemed... not that big.
A street can also be divided into length and width.
"Old Cheng Tian'an, who was originally from Shushe, was in the first rank of the imperial family, and met His Royal Highness King Yi here." Cheng Tianan came out from under the sedan chair with his fists clasped in his hands and looked at King Yi sitting on the horse with a smile.
"It turns out that you are an old minister from the time of the emperor's grandfather. But it seems that you are not old enough to serve as an official, so you will not be dismissed from the official position." King Yi asked with an indifferent face.
Cheng Tianan kept his smile, but his eyes lag behind, and he said again: "His Royal Highness King Yi has learned clearly that old age is a disease caused by a disease. He is deeply grateful for the emperor's great kindness and retired to his hometown."
After King Yi nodded lightly, he said softly: "But as far as I know, Qingque Town in Baifeng City, Cangque County is not your ancestral home. Why do you settle here?"
Cheng Tianan's face stiffened before he replied: "I think the scenery here is pleasant, so I chose this place..."
"Then you don't call it quits and return to your hometown. Shouldn't it be the hometown where you were born and raised? This is a foreign country. Mr. Cheng has been an official for half his life, and he is still a scholar. The wording is so inaccurate, but
It's really rare. Is it because you are old? Your brain is not working well?" Su Hanqing lay on the horse's head, taunting him like a ruffian, and chuckled softly after speaking.
Cheng Tianan had received the news, but he only knew that it was King Yi Xiao Yanhao coming to Qingque Town, so he did not think that the identity of the person around him was noble.
When he heard Su Han's mocking words, his eyes became sharp, his original smile disappeared, and his expression became gloomy.
Su Han ignored his change of expression and snorted coldly: "Besides, you have been out of office for many years. You have no official position. You should call yourself a commoner. Even if you are a local citizen in this town who has an official position,
Officials of the court have to kneel down and worship when they see His Highness King Yi. You have scales on your body, but you still want to rebel. Not only do you not kneel down when you see His Highness King Yi, but you also call yourself an old man. Who gave you the courage to put on airs here?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud chorus suddenly sounded: "Kneel down!"
"thump"!
Those who followed Cheng Tianan all knelt on the ground, and even the surrounding people who were watching knelt on the ground.
After all, Cheng Tianan is a person who has seen the world. He is still standing there, his hands still cupped, his face is purple, his eyes are wide, but there is no anger, replaced by panic, but his legs are already shaking
, the way it shakes under the robe is really funny.
King Yi said again coldly, "Humph!"
Cheng Tianan then knelt on the ground, pressed his hands on the ground, pressed his head tightly against the back of his hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Please forgive the sins of the common people, Your Highness King Yi."
"It turns out that you know you are guilty, so it will be easier to handle. If you admit your guilt, you can be lenient, or the punishment for the crime can be reduced. I have always been a good man and don't like to see bloodshed. Sun Zhixian, Cheng
Tian'an has already been convicted of the crime, so let him make a clear confession of the crime and sign it, and I will present it to His Highness King Chen for review." King Yi used his words to directly convict him.
"The common people have been wronged..." Cheng Tianan shouted without daring to raise his head.
"You just confessed your crime on your own initiative. Why did you retract your confession in an instant? Hundreds of eyes and ears here saw and heard it. I have not wronged you." King Yi shouted coldly.
"The common people want to sue Sun Jizong, the magistrate of Qingque Town, for occupying the houses of the common people under the pretext of rebuilding a century-old river. They are suspected of lining their own pockets. I hope His Highness King Yi will deal with it impartially and don't hurt the hearts of the people in the world and shake the power of Cangque County.
It has completely damaged the reputation of His Highness King Chen!" Cheng Tianan complained in a tearful tone.
Su Han turned his head and uttered a quintessential Chinese curse word, which made everyone around him who heard it purse their lips and snicker.
King Yi couldn't laugh, but he heard that he was holding back and couldn't help but look at her with his sad eyes.
After Su Han saw it, he turned to Cheng Tianan who was kneeling below and silently said to King Yi word by word: "Old! Scoundrel! Scoundrel!"
