As soon as Song Huan got off the carriage, he saw a crowd of people outside the Zheng Mansion. The excitement was no worse than that of the market.
At this moment, seeing that a little servant of the Zheng family dared to be so negligent to him, Song Huan completely understood the source of the Zheng family's confidence.
This tall and wide door lintel and these guests crossing the threshold are exactly what make Zheng Chaodong so confident!
Originally, what happened last night was just to use the pressure of public opinion to silence those ministers who opposed the imperial examination system.
But Song Huan never expected that he could use this incident to involve such a big tiger in the capital!
Facing the extremely arrogant butler, Song Huan didn't pay much attention.
It’s just that one person attains enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
When the time comes, the trees will fall and the monkeys will scatter. As Zheng Chaodong's slave, this housekeeper will probably not end up with a good end!
"oh?"
"Yeah!"
"I didn't expect Master Zheng to be so obsessed with government affairs. He is truly the pillar of the country."
"It's just that what I want to say next is very important."
"Are you sure you don't want to go in and let me know?"
Looking at Song Huan's smiling face, the housekeeper shuddered involuntarily for some reason.
Because the smile in Song Huan's eyes was as cold as ice.
Just one look at it will make you feel frightened!
Facing the calm and composed Song Huan, the housekeeper was a little timid for a while.
After all, no matter how the other party loses face, he is still a royal prince.
If it really delays Mr. Zheng’s business, I can’t afford it!
The housekeeper had no choice but to grit his teeth, turned around and returned to the house.
"Fourth Prince, please wait a moment!"
"Oh, by the way!" Seeing that the housekeeper was going back to report, Song Huan suddenly reminded him, "Remember to call your young master out too."
As soon as he heard that the young master was being asked to come out with him, the housekeeper's eyes darkened.
The young master's violent temper is even worse than Master Zheng!
If you call him at this hour, he will definitely be...
Alas, that’s all.
Just summon him if he is summoned. If he really misses something important, it is not something that a little housekeeper like me can afford!
The housekeeper trotted all the way, twisting and turning, and finally stopped outside the study door out of breath.
In the study room, a woman's charming laughter mixed with the man's heavy breathing came out. The heartbeat of those who heard it accelerated and their faces turned red!
The housekeeper knew that Mr. Zheng was enjoying himself inside.
If you came to report it at this time, it would be a life-threatening situation!
However, when he thought of the cryptic smile of the fourth prince just now, the housekeeper still bit the bullet and gently knocked on the door.
"Master Zheng, Master Zheng!"
The abnormal noise in the room stopped suddenly.
After a long time, Zheng Chaodong's extremely dissatisfied voice was heard.
"Who taught you the rules?"
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The housekeeper was so frightened that he trembled and said in a crying voice: "Sir, spare your life!"
"I don't dare to come here rashly to make trouble, but the fourth prince is right outside the house. He said that there is something important and he must see you immediately!"
Zheng Chaodong said impatiently: "Go and tell him that if I have important matters, I must report them to the Holy One immediately. I am busy with government affairs at the moment, so I don't have time to see him!"
The housekeeper sounded like he was about to cry.
"Sir, you...just go there!"
"The fourth prince looks very anxious and serious. Not only does he ask you to go there, but the young master also has to go there!"
After the housekeeper finished speaking, a moment later he saw Zheng Chaodong opening the study door with an angry face.
If anyone's night of love is suddenly interrupted, they will be so angry that they will curse!
"Oh, the fourth prince, right?"
"I want to see with my own eyes what this fourth prince is going to do!"
"If he dares to come to the house and make trouble unreasonably, even if he is the prince, I will definitely interfere with him severely in front of the emperor..."
Zheng Chaodong cursed and came to the gate extremely impatiently.
There was a crowd in front of the mansion, and many people gathered here just to line up to meet Zheng Chaodong.
"Hey! It's Mr. Zheng!"
"Master Zheng is out!"
"Meet Mr. Zheng!"
Song Huan was sitting on the chair brought out by the boy to rest. When he saw Zheng Chaodong walking over with an unkind look on his face, he knew that this boy must have done nothing good, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by him.
"My subordinate Zheng Chaodong has met the fourth prince!"
"The official is busy preparing the memorial to report to the emperor. If His Highness has nothing important to do and delays the official in reporting his duties, I wonder if the emperor will blame him!"
Hearing that Zheng Chaodong was so dedicated to his work, the visitors gathered outside the house began to praise him loudly.
"As expected of Mr. Zheng, who cares about the people!"
"Master Zheng cares about the people's livelihood of the people of Kaifeng Prefecture every day. He is simply a father-in-law official praised by the people of our capital city!"
Looking at Zheng Chaodong who was slightly impatient in front of him, Song Huan sneered in his heart.
Scare yourself with the emperor's father, right?
It's a pity that Zheng Chaodong's wishful thinking was completely wrong!
"Master Zheng, there is no need to rush to prepare for the report."
"I have been ordered to come here this time to escort you to the Criminal Department for investigation."
"By the way, where is your son?"
Song Huan's tone was understated. He said that such an important matter as going to the prison of the Ministry of Justice was as easy as eating and drinking.
Zheng Chaodong thought he had heard wrongly and was a little disbelieving.
"Fourth Prince, what did you say?"
Looking at the astonished Zheng Chaodong, Song Huan smiled slightly and then raised his voice.
"I told you that I came here on orders to escort you to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for trial!"
"You and your son, please go with me immediately!"
Finally, the chaotic crowd around him calmed down.
Everyone couldn't believe what they just heard!
Prison Department?
That's no joke!
The fourth prince came to mention him in person. It was probably Zheng Chaodong who had really committed something serious!
Thinking of this, the visitors who were waiting in line to meet Zheng Chaodong suddenly dispersed with excuses.
"Um...I remembered that there was something urgent at home, so I'll leave first!"
"My wife is giving birth to a baby today, I... I'll take my leave first!"
"What, it's thundering, it's raining, I'll go home and collect some clothes first..."
Seeing the people dispersing one after another, Zheng Chaodong's mind felt like thunder, with a loud bang!
"Fourth Prince, could it be that because Quanzi was framed last night, you are adding fuel and jealousy in front of His Majesty?"
"Even Mr. Sun from the Ministry of Civil Affairs has found out the truth and immediately punished the guilty minister Zhou Jue. Why do you come to Wei Chen's house to chatter non-stop!"
Seeing Zheng Chaodong speaking so confidently, as if he was the serious victim.
Before Song Huan could speak, a bright figure suddenly appeared in front of the gate of Zheng Mansion.
