Chapter 275 The gong in the early morning is fatal!
The next day at 11:00 AM,
On the deserted street, two horse-drawn carriages drove by and stopped at the entrance of the post station.
"Bang bang bang!"
Several gong sounds rang out from several directions...
The sound of the gong was so piercing that it startled the chickens in the cages in the back kitchen, not to mention the people who were still sleeping.
In the second prince's room, Jiang Yizhou suddenly opened his eyes, threw off the quilt and got into bed barefoot.
He drew out his sword and hung it at his side, his eyes full of ferocity.
"Somebody come!"
After a stern shout, the personal guard opened the door and came in.
The three of them knelt down and reported: "Your Highness, it's the young lady of the Zhenguo Palace..."
"She has come to the post station and is using the gong... to wake people up!"
Jiang Yizhou pursed his lips, held back the curse words, and threw the sword heavily to the ground.
He took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down. He said, "Help me get dressed."
Guard: "Your Highness, Miss... Miss said that Your Highness should just rest. She will supervise you today."
The guard looked up at the Second Prince's expression and continued, "She said that today's scene might not be very pleasant..."
Jiang Yizhou was barefoot and only wore an undershirt. When the guards entered the room, they brought a chill with them, which made him sober up a little.
I saw him return to the bed and sit down, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"In that case, I won't go..."
"Please invite a doctor. I have just arrived in the north and I am not used to the climate there. I am seriously ill."
"Yes!"
"sick?"
Standing in the yard, the little girl took off the cotton that was blocking her ears and repeated it blankly.
She blinked her big eyes and asked the guard who answered her question sincerely, "Did the second prince fall ill so suddenly?"
The guard was speechless for a moment and could only nod his head, "Yes!"
I can't say I'm just pretending because I don't want to be involved with you...
Who knows what tricks this little ancestor will use next to deal with these officials from Kyoto.
She is protected by the reputation of the Zhenguo Palace and the National Protection Army, and she is far away in Chongzhou, so no one can do anything to her.
But his Highness has no one to protect him. If someone takes advantage of Jiang An's behavior and reports him, it would be a loss!
So, after thinking about it, I might as well pretend to be sick and hand over everything to this little ancestor.
As they were talking, the officials came out of the house one after another...
Normally, he acts superior to others, and is either handsome or incorruptible. He pretends to be as noble as possible.
But look at them now, they are all in tatters!
The better ones could still wear their official robes neatly, but their official hats were hung crookedly on their heads, which was very funny.
What's worse, he was holding up his trousers with one hand and his boots with the other, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth had not been wiped off.
Even Xie Chaoyan did the same, with her hair simply tied up, wearing simple clothes and no makeup, she walked out of the house.
She half-covered her face with a palm-leaf fan in her hand, and looked at the instigator with her eyes full of water light. She was the first to ask, "Miss, you are here so early, is there something important?"
The officials had bruised faces and noses, and they huddled together like frightened chicks, not daring to make a sound.
Jiang An held the gong and hammer, "Yes, it's very important!"
She gently tapped the gong in her hand, and Zheng Yan, receiving the signal, came out carrying firecrackers.
Zhenglu immediately stepped forward and lit the firecrackers before anyone could react.
Another burst of "crackling"!
In the next courtyard, the second prince, who was pretending to be sick in bed, sat up in shock from his dying illness...
The maid standing by the couch was startled.
Xie Chaoyan and other officials who were already easily frightened were also frightened.
The palm-leaf fan in Xie Chaoyan's hand fell, but she was able to stand still, unlike the official next to her who was ejected. It was all because she was so scared that she forgot to react!
She felt the veins on her forehead throbbing, but still forced herself to maintain a decent appearance.
I don't know if others are happy or not, but the little girl is quite happy~
She struck the gong again and said with a smile, "Good luck in starting the work~"
start?
What kind of work?
They just got beaten up yesterday and they're already working today?!
Do you have any humanity?
This is exploitation! Naked exploitation!
The above are all the officials' mental activities~
On the surface, they smiled ingratiatingly at the little ancestor and echoed: "Good luck... Good luck..."
Jiang An threw away the gong and said, "Let's go and get to work."
"Hey, did you guys have breakfast?"
Facing the little girl's eyes that seemed to speak, everyone smiled but said nothing.
You pulled them all out from under the quilt, and you tell me whether you ate them or not!
The officials looked at each other in confusion. This meal...should they have eaten it or not?
"My lady, Chao Yan hasn't had breakfast yet."
I don’t know what these losers are thinking, but Xie Chaoyan will definitely eat the breakfast anyway!
It was true that she was not in good health. She worked without eating breakfast because she was afraid of dying in this northern land.
She doesn't want to die yet...
Jiang An waved his fat paw, "Let's eat first~"
She smacked her lips and said, "The kitchen has made meat buns. They are so delicious!"
Before Xie Chaoyan could say any polite words of thanks, a man dressed as a guard came up with an incense burner.
A stick of incense is burning slowly in the incense burner...
"Miss, this is...?"
Jiang Anhe smiled kindly, "It will take about an incense stick of time."
"If you haven't reached the entrance of the post station after one stick of incense, you can only walk."
She waved her fat paw and said indifferently, "The three states in the north are OK. It only takes a few days to travel back and forth by car."
Hearing this, they didn't even have the time to ask their ancestor why he had to travel back and forth between the three states. They crowded together and tried to get into the house.
They were penniless now. If they didn't have a carriage to ride, or even the money to hire one, they would really have to walk!!
"Let me in first!"
"I am old, do you youngsters know the etiquette?"
"Bullshit, it's just one stick of incense, who cares how old you are!"
"Get out of the way, I'm going to take action!"
"..."
"Tsk tsk..."
The little girl turned around, her face full of disgust.
Xie Chaoyan looked at her with a frown on her face. This little girl was really... too bad!
If she wasn't the one being restricted, she would probably also praise it and say it was a good job...
The officialdom is complicated and intricate. Even those in high positions who control the world dare not say that they can control these officials and make them go west or east at will.
But she did it...
