In fact, Huang Qiong's worries are somewhat unnecessary. Who is this emperor? After regaining power, Qian Gang has been dictatorial for more than ten years, and the city is not as deep as usual. Over the years of working as a king, I have developed enough self-cultivation. Although the anger in his heart was almost burning him, he did not explode on the spot.
His face returned to its original state in the shortest possible time, so calm that outsiders could not see any disturbance. It's even harder to tell what's on his mind at the moment. The emperor who calmed down did not make any statement. He just said: "I already understand the situation here. My father-in-law has worked hard today. Qiong'er, please reward each of these old men ten guan of money, which is considered hard money." .”
Seeing that the emperor did not have an attack on the spot, Huang Qiong's heart dropped. After hearing the emperor's instructions, he quickly took out a few small-denomination banknotes that Eunuch Gao had given him before leaving the palace, and gave each of these old men a ten-guan note. It was just a small amount of banknotes that the grandpa gave him, and he spent a lot of money on some food along the way.
The rest, apart from paying it to a few old men, there was nothing left. As for the handful of golden melon seeds, Huang Qiong did not intend to expose them. That thing was used in the palace to reward people, not even ordinary officials could see it, let alone ordinary people's homes. It is easy to get these golden melon seeds, but giving them to these people may not be a blessing. If someone sees it, it might cause trouble.
When I saw the banknotes on hand, the only one left was one hundred yuan. Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, but still stuffed it into the strong man's hand: "Brother, I have offended you a lot before. I hope you have a lot of money and don't take it seriously. This small amount of money can be regarded as the money we frightened the noble family before. A little compensation.”
But Huang Qiong didn't expect his kindness, and he didn't appreciate it at all. Not only did he not express gratitude, he looked at the denomination of the bank note that Huang Qiong handed over and said angrily as if he had been insulted: "Why should I take your money? It's great to have money."
"Bah, I am poor, but I don't care about your money. You have listened to what I said, and you all know the ins and outs of the matter. Now you can take your money and get away from me as far as you can. , don’t stand in front of my house. If you come here to seek revenge, that’s up to you. If I, Liu Hu, frown, I’m not the one who was raised by my biological father.”
After he said these few words, Huang Qiong didn't say anything yet, but the faces of the guards over there turned green. I’ve seen people who don’t know how to lift people up, but I’ve never seen people who don’t know how to lift people up like this. A noble prince has bowed to you over and over again, but you are not done yet. I gave you a needle and you really used it as a mallet. It's true that my uncle can bear it, but my aunt really can't bear it.
Several guards who were half-infuriated by this big man named Liu Hu didn't care that the emperor was right next to them. They drew their weapons and wanted to teach this guy a lesson. At least let him know what politeness is, let him know who can be offended and who cannot be offended.
"Stop, don't you think it's embarrassing?" Huang Qiong shouted at the guards, then turned around and said: "This Liu Zhuangshi, the so-called ignorant person is not guilty. Although we entered your house by mistake, we did not There is no offense. Since we met, we have never pressured anyone with money. The money is only for us to make amends, and we have no other intentions."
This big man named Liu Hu heard Huang Qiong's sincere words again, but he still stood there coldly and did not move at all. When an old man next to him saw that the matter was about to reach a stalemate, he tugged on his clothes and said: "This high official, just accept the money I gave you. At least it can alleviate your family's predicament."
"Looking at your behavior, your family must have been without food for two or three days. Even if you can hold on, your wife and children at home cannot starve with you. Besides, you have to buy clothes for your wife and children at home. They You can’t wrap yourself up in a quilt all day long and not go out.”
"This is our fate, there is nothing we can do about it. In this stall, a human life is worse than a dog's. Everyone knows that you are arrogant, but no matter how arrogant you are, can it be used as food? Can it fill the stomachs of your wife and children? Especially if you are so arrogant. It’s when your children are still growing up. To put it bluntly, even if you don’t feel sorry for your own children, can you still bear to starve to death for your nephews and nieces?”
The persuasion of this old man who knew the current situation of Liu Hu's family better moved this guy. Thinking of the children at home who were waiting to be fed, and the nephews and nieces who had followed him to the capital and were also starving, Liu Hu let out a long sigh. Although this sigh contained unspeakable desolation, he finally accepted the banknote handed over by Huang Qiong.
Seeing him accept the banknote handed over to him, Huang Qiong smiled and reported his address and said: "If brother is in trouble, you can find me at this address. I should do my best to help brother." Solve the difficulties. Even if there are no difficulties, you can also go to my little brother’s house for a little gathering."
At this time, Huang Qiong was already interested in recruiting Liu Hu. It's just that it's a little hard to say this in front of the emperor. I can only leave my address and hope he can find it on his own. Although Jingzhao Mansion strictly prohibits these refugees from entering the inner city where their own palace is located. But with Liu Hu's skills, it would not be difficult to find him as long as he had an address.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Huang Qiong, who was already getting late and had to go back to the palace to see his mother. He turned to the emperor and said, "Father, it's getting late at this time. Should we go back? If You spend too much time outside, and your family should be anxious. It would be bad if you disturb too many people."
In response to Huang Qiong's words, the emperor nodded silently, turned around and took a closer look here, sighed softly, and then walked away. Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, the little eunuch quickly ran to the emperor to lead the way. The guards, who were afraid that what happened before would happen again, closely guarded the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor was obviously in a very low mood, Huang Qiong did not dare to say anything. He bowed his hands to the people around him, expressed a slight apology, then turned around and left behind the emperor. However, before the group of them took a few steps, they met several government officials head-on.
Seeing Huang Qiong and others who were all dressed in glamorous clothes, the several government servants who were walking towards each other looked at each other, and a trace of joy flashed in their eyes. The way he looked at Huang Qiong and his group was like looking at a few fat sheep. A government servant who seemed to be taking the lead blocked the road and said directly: "Who are you, and what do you want to do here?"
"Don't you know that our governor has an explicit order that people from the capital are not allowed to come here unless they obtain the approval from the Jingzhao Palace? Looking at you oil-headed noodles, it's not a good thing at first glance. This place is really a hiding place for our Daqi capital. Nurgle’s first choice, no one here is good. You must have some intentions here, now come with me to Jingzhao Mansion."
As soon as the government officials finished speaking, Huang Qiong knew that these government officials must be treating themselves as fat sheep and wanted to squeeze some oil out of themselves. Huang Qiong, who just remembered that the emperor was by his side and did not want to cause trouble, smiled slightly and said: "Several officials, we just got lost and stumbled into this place without any evil intentions."
"There is no intention, no intention. What are you doing here? You are still lost, and you have entered this place by mistake? It's a joke. If you are lost, why don't you get lost and go to the palace? Let me tell you, I have heard this rhetoric of yours many times. I don't believe it. . You guys come with me now. If no problem is found and you pay the fine, I will let you out. If anything is found, you can’t even think about it."
As soon as this guy finished speaking, another government official said impatiently: "Boss, what nonsense are you talking to them about? Just arrest them first. Although there are many dignitaries in the capital, there is no one who is full and full." What do you have to worry about when you come to a ghost place like this? These people are oily and powdery, and they are not good people at first glance, so they will definitely be caught."
"Besides, there are a few people these days who have clean bottoms. Even if they can withstand the ban if they are brought back to the Yamen, and if they sit on the tiger bench, everything will be fine. Don't forget, our routine for this month has not been completed yet. Here's People are so poor that they can't squeeze out much oil and water even if they turn over and over. I caught these fat sheep and brought them back, just to make up for the shortfall."
In fact, working as a yamen servant in Jingzhao Mansion, where princes and dignitaries live together, logically speaking, one should not be so narrow-minded. For them, recognizing dignitaries should be their top priority. Otherwise, it would be easy to offend Jing Zhaoyin behind them, who might not be able to offend anyone. It's just a pity that one of the two people in front of them is the emperor who they can't see at all.
As for the other one, he was the newly crowned county king. Not only has he just left the palace not long ago, he also spends most of his time studying in the mansion, keeping a low profile. This upstart in the capital not only knows these government officials but also the future. I don't even know that in this capital with so many dignitaries, it is very possible that there is such a new rich man. So these guys who are bent on getting rich have obviously gone astray today.
These few government servants who didn't know that they had kicked a huge iron plate were brazenly planning to capture the emperor and use him as a fat sheep to make up for their own shortcomings. After the emperor over there listened to their conversation, his face became extremely livid, and he ordered to the guards around him: "Get them all for me. If one of them escapes, go back and get one hundred boards from the Punishment Department."
The few guards who had lost all face in front of the emperor and wanted to make meritorious deeds in front of the emperor heard the emperor's orders, why did the emperor need to threaten them? With a shout, several people rushed towards those guys like wolves and tigers, who obviously had no eyes and insisted on slaughtering the emperor as a fat sheep.
These few people have obviously been drained by alcohol and sex. I am afraid they never dreamed that the fat sheep gentlemen in front of them would suddenly transform into the fierce and evil Yamen servants of the King of Hell, and there would be no match for this group of guards. Before he even had time to fight back, he was knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks.
These guards, the anger they received from Liu Hu before was all vented on these guards, and they were very ruthless when they attacked. After several government officials were knocked to the ground, there was no need to tie them up at all. The limbs and joints of these guys have obviously been tampered with and have been removed. He was already collapsed into a pile of mud. He couldn't even stand up except for crying and howling, let alone running.
Several government servants were neatly knocked down by the guards, and the emperor who had always been looking as if he was sinking was looking extremely calm. At this time, he suddenly did something that stunned Huang Qiong and almost everyone present. The emperor rushed to several government officials like crazy, raised his foot and kicked them hard. And whoever shouts louder will be beaten harder.
