At this moment, the side door of Zhang's Mansion opened wide, and a group of people poured out from inside. The leader was the eunuch Wang Erbiao.
In addition to him, there were also his subordinates, and even the newly arrived brothers Liu Jin and Lan Tianbao also followed. There was really no one in the house. I heard that the master was surrounded by people outside, so naturally as many people as there were came out, even two maids came out.
But as soon as Zhou Bian called out the words "Princess Kunxing", the fight outside naturally became impossible.
Zhu Yuyao's pretty face had a cold look on her face, and she yelled at Zhou Bian: "What are you doing? You let your slaves go out and do evil, and now you dare to bring people here. Do you want to take revenge on Mr. Wang? You are acting so recklessly, do you know the king's law?" Two words?"
Although in terms of blood, Zhou Bian is Zhu Yuluo's biological uncle, but in this era, his status as a princess is higher. Zhu Ainao assumed her identity as a princess, so Zhou Bian had to act as a minister.
She didn't know that before Zhou Bian came here, he had already made a big fuss in the palace of the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Otherwise, she would have been able to recognize Zhou Bian's arrogance better. Only a princess like her who had never left the palace would be in awe of the King's Law.
However, no matter how arrogant Zhou Bian was at this time, he couldn't be arrogant in front of the princess. Although he felt very humiliated by Zhu Yuluo's reprimand, he had no choice but to explain: "Your Highness misunderstood, this...that..."
He talked for a long time, but for a while he couldn't explain why. It's true that he shouted too loudly just now and his purpose was too obvious, and there is no way he can explain it.
Fortunately, Xu Yunchao understood what he meant, so he quickly explained to Zhou Bian: "My young master, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Otherwise, they will all starve to death!"
After he finished speaking, he saw that Liu Jin was also on the opposite side, so he pointed with his hand and said: "He is here too, but he wants to sell his son and daughter. My young master has good intentions..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Zhu Yurao raising her eyebrows, obviously very angry, and interrupted him: "Then, if you can't buy it by force, you also beat people, and you attack women and children. It's thanks to you that you can do it." ?”
Having said this, she turned to Zhou Bian and shouted coldly: "I saw what happened with my own eyes, and they were even rude to me. What kind of crime should I deserve for these things?"
If a tiger doesn't show off its power, it will really be regarded as a sick cat. Zhu Yuyao was kind-hearted, but she was from a royal family after all, so her anger had its own momentum.
Zhang Mingwei has been silent. In this situation, it is enough for his maid to come forward!
Zhou Bian secretly complained in his heart at this time, why did he bump into the princess!
In short, seeing Zhu Yuluo staring at him, he had no choice but to care about nothing else. Self-preservation was more important than anything else, so he immediately shouted to his men: "Hit me, this damn killer dares to do such a depraved thing." It’s about my Zhou family’s reputation.”
His men were dumbfounded and came to retaliate aggressively. But when they saw him, they wanted to beat their own manager?
However, they also understood that this woman turned out to be a princess!
Xu Yunchao felt the most unjust. He was doing something at the request of the young master, but he was beaten as a result.
"What are you doing standing still? Beat me, beat me hard!" Seeing that no one under his command took action, Zhou Bian suddenly became angry. He pointed at Xu Yunchao with a folding fan and shouted loudly.
When his servants saw him so furious, they didn't dare to hesitate and immediately surrounded him. You punched him, I kicked him, and they started beating Xu Yunchao.
"Beat, be sure to beat hard, this bitch, you know where the king's law is!" Zhou Bian said harshly, and then raised his head to look at Princess Kunxing, his face immediately turned into a flattering smile.
In order to protect himself, he apparently abandoned Xu Yunchao and asked to pass this test first.
Just like this, Xu Yunchao was unlucky. Under Zhou Bian's supervision, his accomplices did not dare to hold back, and they were soon beaten until they screamed, and then the wailing gradually became quieter.
Some of the idlers who had followed from the Jinyiwei commander's residence did not expect that this drama would turn out to have such an ending. They were all surprised and started whispering excitedly.
"I didn't expect him to be so arrogant, but he met Her Royal Highness the Princess. Hehe, you don't have to admit defeat even if you don't want to!"
"It's true. When Commander Lian Jin Yiwei met him before, he had to show his smile at the disadvantage, but now, haha, what a rare good show!"
"..."
But more people focused their attention on Zhang Mingwei.
"Who is this person? The master of Zhang Mansion. How come I haven't heard of such a person before! Living in such a place with a princess as his company, tsk tsk!"
"Hey, isn't this the residence of Eunuch Wang, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the admiral of the East Factory? Why is it the Zhang residence?"
"..."
Although it felt better to see Xu Yunchao being bitten by a dog in public and Zhou Bian being slapped in the face, Zhang Mingwei was more concerned about the refugees outside the city. As for the people in Jiading's Mansion, Wang Cheng'en was ordered to conduct a secret investigation, and he would naturally settle the accounts when he turned around.
Therefore, he didn't want to delay any longer, so he said to Zhu Aa: "Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ainao nodded quickly, and then shouted to Zhou Bian: "I am accompanying my husband now. I have something important to go to see my father. I will report your matter to my mother, and it is up to my father and my mother to decide how to punish you!"
After saying that, she accompanied Zhang Mingwei on her way again.
The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed and watched them leave with reverential eyes.
No matter who it was, they were naturally very happy when they saw that the people in Jiadingbo's house were so arrogant and the princess had upheld justice. Only the person involved, Zhou Bian and others, felt depressed.
As soon as Zhang Mingwei and his party left, Zhou Bian naturally left as well. What happened today was really embarrassing and humiliating for him! And I don’t know what will happen after this matter reaches the emperor and empress?
Feeling a little uneasy, Zhou Bian took out his anger on others, but he would never criticize himself anyway. He cursed all the way, of course, he certainly didn't dare to scold Princess Kunxing, but scolded Xu Yunchao and Zhang Mingwei who were being dragged away by his men.
Luo Yangxing, who was always hiding behind, felt like he couldn't take a breath while watching this scene from beginning to end. Unexpectedly, there was nothing wrong with that person, and Zhou Bian didn't make any big mistakes.
Hiding aside, he listened to Zhou Bian cursing as he passed by. Hearing that he was still cursing the man named Zhang, he turned to look at the Zhang Mansion.
This house was originally Wang Dehua's residence, he knew it, and he even knew that this house occupies a very large area. Looking at the people who rushed out after hearing the sound, there were actually refugees who had just entered the mansion, and there were even women. Luo Yangxing couldn't help but feel something in his heart, obviously thinking of something.
Then, he turned to look at Zhou Bian's retreating back, and a hint of cruelty suddenly flashed across his gloomy face.
The outcome of today's matter was not what he wanted to see the most. What he hopes to see is that something happens to the people Li Ruolian protects, and Zhou Bian, a fool, is punished by the emperor.
"Let's go!" Luo Yangxing spat out one word fiercely, and then left.
When Qian Liu saw him, he knew that this matter was not over as he knew his master's temper well.
………………
Princess Kunxing was accompanying her, and Emperor Chongzhen had specifically issued an order, so Zhang Mingwei went directly into the palace without waiting outside the palace gate.
At this time, it was already noon on the third day of March in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen rested much later than Zhang Mingwei, and he had just woken up. As soon as I heard that Zhang Mingwei was coming to see him, I naturally met him immediately.
As soon as they met, Emperor Chongzhen said apologetically: "Sir, I have already punished those who contradicted you, ten times each. If you are not satisfied, I will..."
Zhang Mingwei had long forgotten everything about the people in the princess's mansion. For him, eviction from his own home was enough. Therefore, as soon as he heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, they are also thinking about Your Highness the Princess, so forget it. I went to the refugee camp outside the city today and encountered many things, which are very important and I want to report them to Your Majesty. .”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression immediately became serious, and he hurriedly pricked his ears to listen. Because he understood that since his husband said so, it must be something very important.
Zhang Mingwei said to Zhu Aao: "Save time, you come and tell His Majesty."
Because of the accent issue, there is still a familiarization process for both parties. If Zhang Mingwei is speaking, communication will be slower. And if Zhu Aolao was there, this would naturally not be a problem.
The most important thing is that these things will be more credible if it is told by Emperor Chongzhen's own biological daughter. Even if she exaggerated, it wouldn't be a big problem since it was her daughter who said it.
And this is one of the benefits of Zhang Mingwei accepting the princess to stay by his side.
