Chapter 154 The Secret Order Arrives
Chapter 154 The Secret Order Arrives
The emperor’s secret decree has arrived.
Xu Xing held the secret decree in his hand, his eyes fixed on the lines of words, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
While waiting, he considered that this matter was very complicated and involved aristocratic families. In order to balance various relationships, the emperor could not help but consider many things, so he did not respond.
However, he didn't expect that after waiting for several days, this would be the result.
The people are unstable and the foundation of the country is shaken?
The veins on Xu Xing's hand holding the secret decree were clearly visible, and his whole body exuded a terrifying low pressure.
If you just handle it with care, why make such a fuss?
Zhang Zhongjing, Zhuifeng and others were standing below. They hadn't heard Xu Xing speak for a long time. They all raised their eyes slightly to look at Xu Xing, but saw that his face looked very bad. They were all shocked.
The night is as quiet as water.
"Brother, Sister Haoer is here. She said she wants to see you for something."
Xu Zhao's sudden voice broke the silence in the study.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xing put away the secret decree, and the low pressure on his body disappeared. He stood up and said, "Get ready, escort Lu Zhan and Jiang Huaiqing's family back to Beijing."
? ? ? ? ?
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Gone?
Xu Xing followed Xu Zhao and left. The three people in the room looked at each other, and they all saw something unusual in each other's eyes.
The mine corruption case involved dozens of officials of all ranks and millions of taels of silver, but they only sent the money official and the county magistrate back to Beijing for trial?
They put so much effort just to help others?
Annoying!
"I don't know who will come and take advantage of this great achievement for free."
Zhuifeng gritted his teeth.
Jing Lei said nothing. He was always a man of few words and just followed the prince's orders.
Zhang Zhongjing showed a meaningful smile. He always felt that things were not that simple. Otherwise, the prince should not have had that attitude just now.
"Don't guess. If the prince wants to say it, he will say it naturally. Listen to the prince's instructions and make preparations."
If he is really escorted back to Beijing, the mountains are high and the road is long, I am afraid the journey will not be peaceful.
……
"Miss Jiang."
Xu Xing walked into the flower hall and greeted Jiang Hao first: "I heard that the young lady wanted to see me for something?"
Xu Zhao had been sent back by Xu Xing.
Ever since the mine embezzlement case was uncovered, Xu Zhao has rarely appeared in front of Jiang Hao, and it is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Jiang Hao put down his tea bowl, stood up and greeted Xu Xing. After Xu Xing sat down, he said, "I want to see Jiang Huaiqing and Song. I have something to ask them."
"You want to see them?"
Xu Xing was slightly stunned.
"Isn't that inconvenient?"
Jiang Hao saw that Xu Xing's expression was not very natural.
"That's not..."
Xu Xing was still a little hesitant in his words: "If you really want to see me, I'll ask someone to arrange it for you."
After saying this, Xu Xing got up and went out.
Not long after, Zhang Zhongjing came in.
"Girl, let's go."
Jiang Hao didn't think he was bold enough to let a prince lead the way.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhongjing said, "The young master ran away again. The prince and Zhuifeng went to catch him personally."
The two of them didn't have much to talk about. When she heard Zhang Zhongjing mention Xu Zhao and thought of the first time they met, she asked casually, "Does he often run away?"
Speaking of Xu Zhao, Zhang Zhongjing sighed repeatedly. He did not respond to Jiang Hao's words, but just said: "The young master has been a pitiful person since he was young..."
After that, he stopped talking.
Keeping people in suspense, it's really a blessing from heaven!
Jiang Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly and began to close his eyes to rest.
The carriage swayed towards the county prison. Zhang Zhongjing looked at Jiang several times and slowly closed his eyes.
