PDLP Chapter 121: Magistrate Sun
Chapter 121: Magistrate Sun
The reason why Magistrate Sun said this was because he knew in his heart that even if there was food in these two cities, it would be useless.
Why? Food can save lives, but these tens of thousands of people need water, and they cannot live without it for even a day.
He actually wanted to help, but they were in a difficult situation themselves, so how could they save others?
So he could only sigh that there was no other way. No one could say for sure whether the people in these two cities could survive.
Tang Mingchen looked at Prefect Sun and then at General Wei.
"General Wei, are you willing to lead the troops and follow me to continue to suppress the bandits?"
These words completely stunned General Wei. Oh no, isn't this a one-time deal?
"This... I obey your command!"
He felt that by following Tang Mingchen around, he would not only be doing good deeds but also making a fortune.
Naturally, there is no reason to refuse such a good thing.
Tang Mingchen smiled, looked at Prefect Sun and said, "Fengcheng is so stable now, all thanks to Prefect Sun's proper management.
Prefect Sun can write a memorial to ask for credit for himself. I think the emperor knows how to appoint the right people, so the prefect will surely be promoted."
Prefect Sun did not expect that Tang Mingchen would actually give such a great credit to him?
"This, I didn't do anything. This is all because of you, Your Majesty..."
"I have never been here, and you, Prefect Sun, have never seen me either."
Prefect Sun was dumbfounded. With such a great contribution, Prince Xian really didn’t want it?
But even if Prince Xian doesn't want it, how could he refuse such a great favor?
Prefect Sun looked at General Wei, then knelt at Prince Xian's feet.
"Your Highness has devoted all his heart and soul to the people of the world. I admire you very much. I just hope that Your Highness will have a safe and smooth journey and get what he wants."
Tang Mingchen smiled. It was obviously worth it to be able to win over a loyal subordinate with this little achievement.
"I accept the sincerity of Magistrate Sun."
After hearing what Tang Mingchen said, Prefect Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
This prince would eventually fight for the position, and he felt that he had chosen the strongest one.
Not to mention anything else, just by spending a few simple days together, Magistrate Sun understood a truth.
Tang Mingchen is so cruel!
Yes, the means are cruel enough!
Only such people can accomplish things, and this is the mentality that an emperor should have.
So even though Tang Mingchen left, Prefect Sun still managed to stabilize the situation. Since he wanted to surrender, he naturally had to make some contributions.
At the same time, General Wei was surprised that they were really going to suppress the bandits.
Do the gangsters have money?
He hadn't realized it before, but now he knows that these gangsters are really rich, extremely wealthy.
If he had known this, he would have done it earlier.
Of course, suppressing bandits was just a side job, and they also wanted to keep an eye on the refugees.
There are always bad guys appearing on the road to escape famine, but these bad guys didn't expect that Tang Mingchen, who is more evil and kills faster than them, would block their way.
Killing one after another, until they no longer dared to feel disgusted, was the way to gain fame.
From then on, everyone who fled famine understood one thing.
The idle king kills but does not kill innocent people.
They are able to survive only because of King Xian’s kindness.
So even though they were fleeing, they had faith in their hearts, and that was King Xian Tang Mingchen.
……
Liu Rumei received Tang Mingchen's letter and couldn't help but frowning in thought.
Although this method is effective, it is indeed very offensive.
Although Tang Mingchen didn't say it, Liu Rumei still asked, "Hasn't anyone tried to assassinate you along the way?"
The secret guard who came to deliver the letter did not dare to hide anything and told the truth. Liu Rumei was helpless.
As expected, this guy was too arrogant, so he was hated by others and was even assassinated several times.
Liu Rumei thought about it and took out several boxes of ointment.
"Dr. Sun is not with you now, so it may be difficult to treat your injuries. This golden ointment is very effective, use it when you are injured.
Besides, this is a pill for reducing fever. Don’t be fooled by its plain appearance. It is actually very effective. One pill will work for reducing fever. Remember... drink plenty of water.”
The secret guard was stunned. This young lady was quite nice.
They were given ointment and fever-reducing pills. These were not for the prince, but for their secret guards.
To be honest, the girl was really nice to them. She always brought them pickles and bacon.
There was nothing delicious to eat along the way. If it weren't for these pickles and bacon, the secret guards would have lost a lot of weight.
Anyway, the girl is a good person, and Xia Zhu is also a good person!
The secret guard happily took the things back, while Liu Rumei called Zhenzhu and went straight to Prince Xian's mansion.
Zhenzhu didn't expect Liu Rumei to wait for several days before coming to visit, but she sent the message back early, and Mr. Li gave instructions to everyone in the palace.
It's no wonder Mr. Li was nervous. After all, when had the prince's token been given to anyone else?
They all felt that Liu Rumei was the prince's most trusted confidant.
However, when they arrived at the gate, the first person to come out to greet them was not Mr. Li, but Aunt Cui.
The old lady's face was full of smiles. Although her hair was a little gray, she was in very good spirits.
She looked Liu Rumei up and down, and then bowed very respectfully.
"This old servant has met the eldest lady from the Marquis' Mansion!"
"Madam, you don't have to be so polite! You are the most respected madam of the Prince Xian, and I am only a junior in front of you."
Although Liu Rumei didn't know why Nanny Cui would show up on her own initiative, since she was someone Tang Mingchen respected, she couldn't be arrogant.
"My lady, you are embarrassing me. You are the prince's guest, and naturally you are also the guest of our palace. I will serve you today to make sure there is nothing I am not considerate of."
Mr. Li was stunned. Normally, Aunt Cui was not a good-tempered person. Why did she suddenly become so polite to others?
Aunt Cui looked at Mr. Li with a white beard and couldn't help but snort.
This old guy knows nothing!
How could this be the prince's confidante? This is clearly the girl that the prince likes!
Let me put it this way, the prince is already in his twenties, and for all these years, he hasn’t even had a maid by his side!
If she hadn't watched the prince grow up since he was a child, she would have suspected that their prince was a homosexual.
Fortunately, fortunately this time the prince finally came to his senses and still valued the girl so much even though he was with her.
No matter what, this palace must have a mistress, and this is the future mistress.
Mr. Li didn't understand what Aunt Cui meant, but obviously he didn't dare to make Aunt Cui unhappy, otherwise the food would be either too salty or too cold, and he wouldn't even be able to have a drink of wine.
He is a real man and he won't bother with a woman.
Nanny Cui took Liu Rumei to sit down, then gave Mr. Li a look.
Mr. Li had no choice but to smile.
"Girl, what are you doing here today?"
"Ah, I was thinking..."
"Girl, if you have any problem, just tell my old man. He is very thoughtful and will definitely be able to help you find a solution."
When Aunt Cui said this, Mr. Li's face turned slightly red.
After so many years, this old woman still has the same temper.
She will protect the person she likes with all her might, but she won't even look at the person she doesn't like.
Liu Rumei was stunned. It turned out that these two were a couple!
