Chapter Forty Seven(2/2)

Jin Chan and others came with Yue Su. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little angry. Especially Tie Qiu, who was very dissatisfied and said: "When the adults arrived just now, I didn't see them being so enthusiastic. What kind of prince is here now? Look

They are so enthusiastic. No matter what we adults say, we are still their immediate superiors!"

Yue Su shook his head and smiled, without saying much, but Yang Yishan said: "Tie Qiu, you don't understand this. My mentor is not the same as them, so they keep a distance from them. If adults were to join them, they would have been like flies.

Rushing over."

Jin Chan nodded and said, "That's it. However, our Lord is loved by the people. Every time when I go to the city, I hear the people calling you Qingtian, and they do it from the bottom of their hearts. I don't want them to be hypocritical."

While they were talking here, the crowd on the opposite side was slowly walking towards this side. When this large group of people came to the middle, someone shouted loudly: "Master Yue, King Fu Qiantai invites you to come over and talk."

Yue Su has now arrived under his own stand, which is quite a distance away from the middle position. King Fu himself has to come over to watch the stand. Even if he is close to Zizheng, he just wants to talk to Yue Su and invite him to watch the stand. This is not done intentionally to torment people.

What.

Yue Su understands this truth, but Prince Fu is a prince after all, and the title is there. Yue Su can't pass it, and the etiquette really doesn't make sense. You can't ask the prince to come over and take the initiative to talk to you. Yue Su turned around and said, "You guys wait here.

, there is no need to go there, I will come back as soon as I go."

After that, Yue Su walked forward. Jin Chan and Tie Qiu were afraid that Yue Su would suffer a loss, so they quickly said: "Sir, I will go with you." Then they also raised their legs to follow.

Yin Zhu and Tong Zhou did not hesitate and stepped forward to follow. At this time, Yue Su's retinue, Ruan Aoyue, Li Qiongying, Du Shiniang and others also followed suit. At most, one more trip would mean nothing.

Yue Su came to the middle, and as soon as he got close to the crowd, the officials and gentry who had gathered around Prince Fu hurriedly moved out of the way. Yue Su moved forward boldly, and the place he passed seemed to divide the water between Emei thorns.

Soon, Yue Su saw Prince Fu. On a warm foot, sat a big meat ball wearing a crown on his head and an ocher yellow three-clawed dragon robe. The prince also had a dragon on his crown, but he didn't dare to look like the emperor.

It is not embroidered on the chest, but on the shoulders.

Yue Su cupped his hands, bowed and said, "Yue Su, the governor of Henan, came to see the blessed king thousand years old."

A smile appeared on King Fu Zhu Changxun's fat face and he said: "No need. You are Yue Su, the new governor of Henan who was ordered to provide disaster relief? King Gu has often heard people talk about you recently, what do you call Yue... Yue Shatou...

…How come you have such a nickname?”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people around him couldn't help but laugh. Who couldn't tell that this was Prince Fu's intention to humiliate Yue Su.

Yue Su also knew this, but he didn't take it seriously. He said calmly: "My surname is Yue. I was ordered by the emperor to wield the Shangfang sword. His majesty trusted him and gave him three guillotines. He has the right to kill first and then report. The imperial decree said that the dragon-headed guillotine can kill the emperor."

Relatives, sons and grandsons of the phoenix; the tiger-headed guillotine can kill corrupt officials and those who bring harm to the country; the dog-headed guillotine can kill local tyrants, evil gentry, and unruly people in the market. The lower official came to Henan to eliminate corruption for the country and killed several corrupt officials.

, local tyrants and evil gentry, the name "Yue Shatou" is a good one, to shave off the heads of those people who follow the law! If there is anyone here who has done something that destroys conscience, and is found out by the headquarters, his head will be chopped off!

"

As soon as these words were said, the scene immediately fell silent. The group of people who had laughed just now could no longer laugh. They even regretted why they couldn't control their mouths and had to laugh.

Prince Fu was very angry, but he didn't believe that others were afraid of Yue Su, but he didn't believe it. Even if you had some guillotine, you really dared to guillotine the prince. I'll give you some courage.

At that moment, King Fu said again: "Master Yue has the right to kill first and then report. That is the emperor's favor for you, but you cannot be spoiled. If there are one or two, you can kill first and then report. But there are so many officials in Huaiqing Mansion.

You kill as you please, sir, without even asking for orders, so you won't be afraid of being accused of killing officials and losing your reputation as a professional and cruel official."

"My lord, my subordinates are dedicated to serving the country. They have lived up to the emperor's favor and are worthy of the people of Henan. The so-called cruel officials, those corrupt officials who died under the guillotine are the real cruel officials." Yue Su said with a smile.

.

"You... King Gu is kind enough to remind you, but you actually talk to me like this!" Seeing that Yue Su refused to pay his own debt, King Fu became a little annoyed and said: "Yue Su, you still owe me

Where’s the food?”

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The grain was requisitioned by the imperial court, and I, Yue Su, didn't take any of it. If I owe anything, it's the imperial court that owes the prince. If the prince is in a hurry, he can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask for money. As for you, come here

Come to me, the emperor has an edict that you have to wait until the taxes from Huguang arrive before you pay them back. My lord, please wait first." Yue Su said as he said.

"You..." At this time, Prince Fu was even more annoyed. The taxes paid by Huguang have been sent to Beijing. Officials in Huguang and Henan know about this, let alone a prince. If he still wants to pay it back, it is not possible.

The disaster has subsided and the victims have settled down. The money cannot be sent to Jiubian. "Yue Su, don't pretend to be confused because you understand. The taxes sent by Huguang have already entered Beijing..."

Before Prince Fu could finish what he said, Yue Su said directly: "Then the prince can take the receipt from the lower official and ask for money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Why are you talking to me?"

"You...you...you Yue Su...I must help you...you are good at it...you are greedy for money for disaster relief..." Prince Fu was already fat. When he was short of breath, he rarely gasped. This

Yue Su was so angry that when he spoke, he was out of breath.

The maid standing next to King Fu quickly gave him some relief. After a long time, King Fu felt a little better. But at this time, he heard Yue Su say: "Your Majesty, please excuse me. I said that I'm a good official. I'm just serving you."

The decree states that the lower official has the right to act expediently, so how can he be called expert? As for the money for disaster relief, the court allocated a total of 50,000 taels to the lower official, and still owes the lower official 250,000 taels, and the 50,000 taels are still owed to the lower official.

The two pieces of silver are still in the government's inventory and are recorded in the accounts, so how can we say anything about it?"

"You...you searched Henan officials. The property of the gentry is over one million taels. Naturally, there is no need to use the disaster relief money given by the emperor. Have you ever handed over these millions of taels to the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Prince Fu said about Yue Suchao

You got more than a million taels of silver, and you're even more angry. Grandma, you have so much money on hand now, why don't you repay me for this little food?

Yue Su still smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I just said to you that your Majesty gave me the right to do things for my own convenience. The Ministry of Revenue owes me money, and I have to take charge of disaster relief. What's the point of using the stolen money?"

No? As for whether to hand it over to the Ministry of Accounts, it seems that you, Prince Chitose, don’t have to worry about it. If there is any leftover, I will make a record according to the accounts and submit it to the Emperor, who will make a decision."

"You... you... you wait... I must join you..." Prince Fu has been used to being flattered since he was a child. He has never met someone like Yue Su who doesn't know how to praise him. He was choked up and couldn't speak coherently.

I don't know what to say except "I must join you".

At this moment, someone outside suddenly said: "Sir, a eunuch has come to deliver the order. Please accept the order."
