Naturally, the people watching did not dare to have any objections. The various dissatisfaction and slander they had secretly expressed towards Xiao Chen seemed to have become other people's words when Xiao Chen directly questioned him, and had nothing to do with them.
Some people even deliberately praised Xiao Chen in front of him, saying, "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy is so kind."
"Yes, I admire your lord's magnanimity."
The young Marquis Qi Sijun stood aside and heard these words and just smiled.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, not to mention that the current result is good and the scholars have been saved.
Qi Sijun breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled and cupped his hands, "Governor Xiao is very kind. I would like to express my gratitude to Governor Xiao on behalf of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion."
"Young Master Marquis is being polite, what are you talking about? Since these people are the Marquis's father-in-law and fellow villagers, I should take care of them. I didn't know this before, but it was already rude. I hope the young Marquis will not be weird."
Xiao Chen was also polite and courteous, cupping his hands with a kind face.
Qi Sijun took a deep look at Xiao Chen, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more, he just smiled calmly and said: "In that case, I won't bother you much. I must have just arrived in Weiyang City, so the governor must have just arrived. There’s still a lot to deal with.”
"Then, would you like to take your leave first? If the Governor needs help in the future, I hope that the Governor will inform the Marquis Mansion. Don't be polite."
"It's natural." Xiao Chen hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and sent Qi Sijun away in person very politely. "Since the Yamen is a bloody place, I will not force the young Marquis to stay. I will go there another day when I have the opportunity." Let’s talk to Mr. Marquis.”
"In this case, I'll be waiting for Governor Xiao, haha." Qi Sijun cupped his hand.
Both of them were very friendly and polite, and it seemed like they had hit it off.
Xiao Chen personally put Qi Sijun on the sedan. After the sedan curtain fell, the smiles on their faces slowly disappeared.
After watching the sedan for a while, there were noisy sounds coming from the backyard.
The students each screamed in pain, their voices weak but their momentum strong, and they were still talking about the rhetoric they used before being beaten, about how strong men are not afraid of death and that the world will have its own justice.
Wei Zhongxian came up and whispered: "Master Governor, I have ordered the government officials to force them back home without waiting for their families to come to pick them up, so as not to cause further chaos. Are you okay?"
Xiao Chen snorted slightly and looked at the bloody students who were carrying their lower halves across half a street, "What's the matter? It's just a bunch of ants. You did a good job."
"You castrated dog, you will definitely be punished!"
"You have done many evil things, God will take care of you..."
"Don't even think about walking out of Jiangdong alive!"
Sensing Xiao Chen's gaze, the students immediately raised their noble heads with half-stretched bodies. Everyone's face was filled with righteous and awe-inspiring light, just like the scorching sun in the sky, seeming to burn out their last efforts to illuminate every Jiangdong. The hearts of the people.
Young heroes carrying blood-soaked stretchers and surviving without regrets were carried away in the back alley of the government office. Every time a stretcher passed by the entrance of the alley, it was like a sad picture.
This scene is quite shocking.
The common people all looked at these students solemnly. Although they were speechless, the admiration in everyone's eyes was worth more than a thousand words.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and watched almost all the students leave together with everyone.
However, from a pair of thin and stern lips, there was just a contemptuous snort, "Just pretending to be famous."
"It is difficult for a group of exaggerated people to achieve great things."
There was even some disappointment in his voice.
Wang and Xing had been standing aside anxiously, and they were relieved when they saw that Xiao Chen actually let these people go.
It seems that Zhongyi Hou Mansion played a big role. It seems that this dog eunuch is still afraid of Weiyang City.
The two of them looked at each other, with a hint of cunning taking advantage of the opportunity in their eyes. Wang Jinli immediately put on a flattering smile, bowed and trotted over, "Master Xiao, you must be tired from the long journey, right?" "
"Now that the matter is over, why don't you ask me to escort the governor back to the post house to rest in time?"
While talking, Wang Jinli peeked at Xiao Chen anxiously, fearing that Xiao Chen would still remember what happened just now and would punish the two of them.
Xing Tianming also bowed nervously and glanced at Wang Jinli. Suddenly his eyes flashed, and he quickly drew his sword and faced the people present, and dispersed angrily, "Don't stand here anymore. , if you disturb the imperial envoy, I will make you walk around without food!"
"It's all gone, it's all gone!"
Seeing this, a flash of chicken thieves flashed in Wang Jinli's eyes, and he quickly took advantage of the chaos to protect Xiao Chen with both hands, and directly acquiesced that Xiao Chen was leaving, "Master Xiao, please come this way. The post house is on Mai Street, turn around. It’s the alley.”
"I will wait for you to get into the carriage."
As he spoke, he actually bowed and ran to Xiao Chen's carriage. He squatted on the ground and took the initiative to use his body as a horse stool for Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen gave this bitch a cold look. How could he not see Wang Jinli's little thoughts?
Wang and Xing were just like this, they just wanted to catch the duck and get rid of this Buddha before he could react.
But fortunately, Xiao Chen didn't want to waste time in the Yamen anymore, so he followed the trend and got into the carriage on Wang Jinli's back.
There was a hint of dignity in his majestic face. Without even looking at the footstool, Xiao Chen raised his hand to signal Wei Zhongxian to drive.
Wang and Xing hurriedly ran forward, shouting all the way, "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy is traveling, please give way to others..."
"Anyone who dares to collide with the Imperial Envoy will be killed without mercy..."
The whole journey was so majestic and violent that the ground in Weiyang City seemed to be shaking.
Xiao Chen sat firmly in the carriage, his slightly narrowed eyes becoming more dangerous and profound.
After arriving at Jiangdong Posthouse, Xiao Chen, under the guidance of Wang and Xing, visited various places in the posthouse, and finally returned to Ya'an Courtyard, which has winding paths.
At first glance, it is true that the palace is extremely gorgeous and magnificent, and it does not match the simple and elegant style of this post house. It seems as if a royal palace was specially built in this Jiangdong post house.
Wang Jinli stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands and said obediently: "My Daotai master personally prepared these for you, the imperial envoy. I know that the governor is a popular person in front of His Majesty, and you must be used to gold bottles and jade in the palace on weekdays. , I’m afraid that if something is not done well, the governor will make your stay unhappy.”
"Right now, Governor, do you think you are satisfied with this guest house?"
Xiao Chen's eyes darkened slightly, but he said calmly, "Not bad, it's quite passable, and it's worthy of the governor to stay here temporarily."
"Thank you, Lord Governor, for your love. It will be a blessing for us in Jiangdong Road to be able to catch your eyes, Lord Governor. When Master Daotai comes back, the younger ones can also work together."
After Wang Jinli heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and smiled flattered.
When he lowered his head, his eyes flashed with an unconvinced sternness, and he thought to himself, "He is just a eunuch, but he dares to come to Jiangdong Road to show off his power."
"In three days, you will cry!"
