After the chaotic situation lasted for less than half a cup of tea, silence returned to the Governor's Hall.
Even more quiet and solemn than before.
Seeing that Danyang had revealed his trump card and grasped the clues to break the situation, Danyang simply stopped wasting time.
"Commander Jiang, please cooperate with Grandma Zhou to escort the villain to the side compartment. You two should also work together for the interrogation."
Seeing the two of them taking orders and starting to run errands, she turned to look at the imperial guards who came to help and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
The two forest guards jumped from the top of the tree and saw that the situation had been stabilized. I don't know whether I should go forward to greet Princess Danyang or just "fly back" to my original guard position.
At this time, a person happened to see Princess Danyang’s nod. He immediately grabbed a handful of his colleagues, and together they bowed and clasped their fists to return the favor to Princess Danyang. After that, I felt at ease and ran back to the top of the tree to continue my duties.
After giving the instructions loudly, Danyang sat back on the Taishi chair behind him and sat in the hall.
It wasn't until those whose names were called were taken away that she spoke again, and said slowly to the silent crowd below:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It was just a small accident. What I said before still stands."
After everyone heard this, few of them dared to raise their heads because they were still frightened.
Danyang smiled without forcing it, and just raised his voice:
"Where is Li Qiang? If you haven't escaped, please stand in front of me again."
After finishing his words, there was no movement in the crowd.
Danyang was raising his eyebrows in surprise when a furry black thing suddenly appeared from the edge of the table.
One of the maids in blue and pink clothes was startled and was about to take out a slingshot to drive away the unknown object.
But just as he opened his stance, before he could take out the pebbles from the purse at his waist, he was stopped by Princess Danyang's raised hand.
"That's Li Qiang."
Danyang's calm voice immediately calmed down Li Qiang, who was anxious and disgusted with himself because of his hiding posture.
The next moment, Li Qiang took a deep breath. He mustered up his courage, straightened up, strode up the steps, and stood in front of Princess Danyang again.
"Go back to the princess, Li Qiang is here."
The maid in blue and pink clothes took back her slingshot and couldn't help but wonder.
How did the princess recognize that the black and furry head belonged to Li Qiang?
While thinking about it, the maid glanced at the place where Li Qiang's head stuck out just now, and felt confused again.
Well, how could a grown man be hidden in this small place?
Danyang had no intention of getting entangled in those details. She looked up and down Li Qiang's body and confirmed that except for the dust all over his body and two scratches on his face, there were no other major injuries. Then she spoke again and asked seriously:
"Have you thought about what I told you before?"
Li Qiang simply curled up into a ball and hid under the stone steps when he was in chaos before. Still struggling secretly with the fact that he could feel the heat on his face without touching it.
So when he heard this, he didn't react at all.
He just instinctively raised his head and looked blankly at Princess Danyang.
Danyang smiled and reminded:
"That's right, I appointed you to be the person in charge of the back garden. What do you want to do?"
After that, she seemed to explain and add, and then said like a warning:
"If you agree, you will do more than just take care of the flowers and plants. In the future, I will only hold you accountable for everything related to the back garden, and there will be no room for any mistakes."
The other people at the rank who were not watched by Danyang, even if they were not involved in the affairs of the palace today, their faces turned from red to pale the moment they heard these words. The look of fun in his eyes disappeared immediately.
Is this, is this going to push them all to a dead end? !
But like Li Qiang, those who had the ability and ideas but no chance were all eager to try. The eyes that were originally filled with fear or anxiety became brighter almost at the same time.
After seeing Li Qiang and hearing this, Princess Danyang not only showed no timidity at all, but also became more and more energetic.
She showed a relieved smile and continued:
"From now on, the stewards appointed by me must not abuse their power and use it for personal gain. However, if the responsibilities are clear, the power will be great and the monthly salary will be increased. And depending on the specific situation, my mother's wishes will be followed. Good people are freed from slavery."

Hearing this, "If you can't do it, or if you knowingly do it, I will never forgive you. What do you want to do?"
Among them, Li Qiang, who was looking directly at Danyang, completely forgot about his inferiority and shyness. With every word Danyang said, the expectation in his eyes became stronger.
