Xue Pan approached Jia Yucun for help. Driven by both favor and generous gifts, Jia Yucun decided to help the Xue family.
So he came to the palace and met with the prince to help the Xue family deliver the book.
Unfortunately, Zhu Jingyuan was resting. With Zhu Jinghong's strict orders, no one dared to disturb him, so Jia Yucun had to either come another day or have to wait.
He was not one to give up easily, so he chose to wait in the palace.
Uninterested in waiting, Jia Yucun walked aimlessly in the palace, and unknowingly arrived outside the racecourse, but he did not expect to suffer such an unreasonable disaster.
"These Qiu Ba are really wanton..." Jia Yucun's tone was cold.
He was a second-ranked scholar, and now he is the magistrate of Yingtian. He has a bright future, but he almost suffered a disaster. How can he not be angry?
Pulling out the arrow, Jia Yucun aggressively searched for the entrance to the racecourse, vowing to find the culprit and punish him severely.
There are several entrances and exits to the racecourse. When Jia Yucun went north, he looked for them.
After he left, the eunuchs sent by Zhu Jinghong appeared, and when they saw nothing unusual, they returned to report.
In the racecourse, Zhu Jinghong shot two more arrows, and this time one finally hit the target.
"Yu Hai, take your people and hurry up to get something to eat and drink. Everyone will be either thirsty or hungry during training soon!"
Hearing this, several guards around him were dumbfounded. They just came to set up the venue, but they never thought about practicing with Zhu Jinghong.
They were less afraid than the others. They were afraid of a fistfight with Zhu Jinghong. That was a one-sided situation where they were beaten.
"yes!"
Yu Hai left with a group of servants. The guards who stayed behind all had grimaces on their faces, wanting to shirk but did not dare to speak.
"I said... there is no fist fight today, what are you worried about?"
With these words, everyone relaxed a little.
"Put on my armor and practice riding and shooting together!"
"yes!"
So Zhu Jinghong put on his armor and his attire was almost the same as that of several guards, but he looked much more heroic.
"Get on your horse... Whoever hits the most hits today will be rewarded with a jade as he wishes!"
The guards are all noble sons, and their family conditions are not bad. The jade Ruyi is not valuable to them, but it is a good fortune worth gambling on.
Everyone drew their bows and mounted their horses one after another. For a moment, the sound of hooves thundered in the racecourse, and hearty cheers resounded through the sky.
Zhu Jinghong was particularly immersed in the young man's heroic spirit and his martial virtues in bowing, horse riding, and shooting.
It was at this time that Jia Yucun entered the racecourse aggressively. When he saw Zhu Jinghong and a group of people, he determined that the murderer was among them.
"Stop, stop everyone..."
Holding the arrow tightly, Jia Yucun walked quickly into the arena. He was very conspicuous in his official uniform, attracting the attention of everyone galloping on horseback.
"Xu..."
Zhu Jinghong tightened the reins, and the others also stopped, and then approached from all sides.
"Who are you?" Zhu Jinghong asked first.
But he saw that the person in front of him had a round waist, a thick back, a broad face and a square mouth. He was wearing a purple official uniform, which made him look even more majestic, profound and majestic.
It's a rare display of magnanimity, but it seems like this person has bad intentions!
When Zhu Jinghong looked at the arrow in the person's hand, Jia Yucun had already asked: "Did you shoot this arrow?"
Although Zhu Jinghong looked noble, he was dressed similar to a guard today, so it was normal for Jia Yucun not to recognize his identity.
Today, everyone contacted us about archery. In order to distinguish the arrows, they made color marks on the arrow feathers.
So with just one glance, Zhu Jinghong confirmed that this shot was shot by him.
"I shot this arrow!" Zhu Jinghong replied calmly. He probably guessed what was going on.
It was really the Qiu Ba who was shooting in front of him. Jia Yucun immediately got angry and reprimanded with a cold face: "You shot it? Who allowed you to shoot arrows randomly in the palace? What crime should you be guilty of if you accidentally hurt the Crown Prince and his servants?"
"Since you are palace guards, you should focus on your duties. How can you play with weapons?"
After a brief period of confusion, a guard on the spot scolded: "Presumptuous..."
However, before the guard could continue to speak, Zhu Jinghong waved his hand, indicating that the guard should not interrupt.
After all, people are reasonable, and it is normal for others to get angry. Zhu Jinghong is still very generous.
Seeing Jia Yucun glaring angrily, Zhu Jinghong apologized and said, "What you are reminding me is that I was not thinking carefully. I will pay more attention to it in the future!"
"The future? Do you still want the future?" Jia Yucun laughed angrily, secretly cursing this person for being a fool.
"What's your name? What's your current position? Who is your superior?"
If Zhu Jinghong is not punished, Jia Yucun will not be able to let go of his hatred.
However, before Zhu Jinghong could answer, Yu Hai's group of people had arrived from afar, and they were very confused when they saw the foreign ministers there.
"Master Thirteen, we've brought all the pastries, fruits, tea, and juices here. Do you think they can be placed somewhere suitable?" Yu Hai asked loudly for instructions.
"You have to ask about such a trivial matter. Just find a place to put it out of the way..." Zhu Jinghong responded in a deep voice.
After hearing the words "Thirteenth Master" and Zhu Jinghong's reply, Jia Yucun was stunned.
Jia Yucun knew that the Thirteenth Prince was in Jinling, but he never had a chance to meet him. All he knew was that he had a bad temper and intimidated the civil and military forces of Jinling.
Now it seems that this is the person in front of me!
At this time, Jia Yucun's anger was covered by regret, and he was in a state of extreme panic.
He, Jia Yucun, is such a careless person. He dares to scold this man. He really wants to die.
Of course, Jia Yucun also lamented his ill-fated fate. After being demoted, he finally climbed up to the Jia family, was reinstated, and came to Yingtian as the prefect.
I thought that the opportunity for rapid development had arrived, and I was thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to gain political benefits, but unexpectedly, I accidentally offended Zhu Jinghong.
Seeing Jia Yucun frozen on the spot, with a thin man emerging from his forehead, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "My lord, I almost accidentally injured you just now. It was my fault..."
"Ten...Thirteenth Master, I...I apologize for my poor eyesight. I failed to recognize you, so I made such arrogant remarks and inappropriate words...I offended the Thirteenth Master, I..."
How sharp Jia Yucun's words were just now, how humble (humble) he is now, he is completely different from the previous one.
Instructing Yu Hai and others to work, Zhu Jinghong turned to Jia Yucun and said: "The prince broke the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You can speak uprightly, how can you say it is an offense!"
This principle was believed by Jia Yucun when he first became an official, but now...
"The Thirteenth Lord has a lot of wisdom. The adults don't remember the faults of the villains. I admire you so much!"
"It's just my offense. How can I be lenient? The Thirteenth Master will punish me severely!"
At the end of the sentence, Jia Yucun knelt in front of the horse, and his buttocks raised high as he kowtowed, reminded Zhu Jinghong of a certain hero.
"You..." Zhu Jinghong smiled.
"Okay, I forgive you, get up!"
As a former migrant worker, he knew very well Jia Yucun's mentality at the moment and sympathized with his bad luck, so he had no intention of pursuing it.
Just as Jia Yucun was about to say goodbye and leave, he heard Zhu Jinghong ask: "Having said so much, I still don't know your surname and your current position..."
It would be great if you always forget about me. In this way, it will be good for you, me, and everyone...
Although he thought so, Jia Yucun also knew very well that he would inevitably have to deal with Zhu Jinghong next, so it would be cheaper to make it clear as soon as possible.
"Wei Chen's surname is Jia Minghua, and he is currently the prefect of Yingtian..."
Zhu Jinghong didn't have much impression when he heard the word "Jia Hua", but he knew who Yingtian Magistrate was, but this person trusted Jia.
"Jia Hua...are you Jia Yucun?"
The Thirteenth Prince lives in confinement, how can he know his nickname? Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince often mentions it?
This is unlikely... but it's not impossible!
Putting aside his random thoughts, Jia Yucun replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Thirteenth Master, I gave myself a nickname, and it is Yucun!"
