319. Chapter 319 Burning the Village

The number of patients in the village suddenly doubled. Regardless of Xu Ji's obstruction, Dai Mei, Quan Fu and the others all ran in to help them. Xu Ji was outside threatening to burn the village, but Ye Zhen didn't even pay attention to him. Heal all patients.

"Xu Dubiao, the burning of the village is no small matter, you'd better think twice." Zheng Yulong said to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji looked at the piled up firewood with a gloomy expression. He naturally wanted to burn the whole village with one fire, but...he could burn Lu Yaoyao to death at the risk, but there was a Huangfuchen inside.

He didn't dare to attack Huangfu Chen, who knows how much strength the Huangfu Dynasty still has? At the beginning, the Huangfu Dynasty abdicated by themselves, not because they were beaten down. Now even the Mohist family respects Huangfuchen. If he really burned Huangfuchen to death, I'm afraid...the whole Xu family will be buried with him.

"After two days, if those sick people still don't look any better, then don't blame the general for being cruel." Xu Ji said coldly.

"How cruel do you want to be?" Just after Xu Jicai finished speaking, a clear voice sounded from behind him.

When Xu Ji heard this strange voice, he felt displeased to be questioned, turned his head and stared at him, and saw that the person who came was a young man, who had never seen him before, and his eyes were filled with contempt, "Who are you, how dare you question me?" General?"

"You don't even know me, so you dare to murder the princess?" Tang Zhen looked at Xu Ji coldly and sharply. He had just come out of Huaijiang City, and Doctor Qi had already told him everything. This Xu Ji actually wanted to burn Yaoyao died without caring about Yaoyao's status as a princess, and everyone knew her sinister heart.

"Jing Ninghou, I will go to the village to find the princess." Xue Lin followed behind Tang Zhen. Now he is most worried about whether the princess will be injured. The emperor asked him to follow the princess because he wanted him to protect the princess. If the princess made any mistakes, he would not be able to apologize even if he died.

Although Tang Zhen wanted to go in and find Yaoyao immediately, but now he had to teach Xu Ji a lesson, so he let Xue Lin enter the village first.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you be so contemptuous." Xu Ji didn't hear the Marquis of Jingning in Xue Lin's mouth. He saw Xue Lin walking towards the village. Go and catch Xue Lin.

Xue Lin turned around and kicked him fiercely, "If you weren't Prime Minister Xu's son, I would have killed you today, and you didn't even pay attention to Mr. Huangfu and His Royal Highness the Princess, and dared to say that others are blind to you. Even if you don't know the princess, you should know, Marquis Jingning, right? I really don't know what it means."

Jingning Hou Tangzhen? A look of panic flashed across Xu Ji's face, and he looked back at Tang Zhen in surprise, "You... are you Tang Zhen?"

How can it be! Isn't Tang Zhen in Kyoto? How could it appear in Huaijiang?

Xue Lin snorted coldly, turned around and hurried into the village.

Xu Ji could no longer stop Xue Lin. He could threaten Lu Yaoyao because he knew that Lu Yaoyao was not a real princess. The Queen Mother and the Emperor might not care about her now, but Tang Zhen didn't Similarly, Tang Zhen is a close minister of the emperor with meritorious service, and everyone knows that Tang Zhen is the person most trusted by the emperor today.

"Xu Ji, I heard that you are going to burn the princess to death?" Tang Zhen smiled terribly.

"The plague spread so badly that everyone in the village died of the disease. I did this to prevent the plague from getting worse." Xu Ji was nervous, but he still tried to calm down.

Tang Zhen looked at him coldly, "So, Xu Dubiao is still thinking about the common people, that's why he wants to burn all the people inside?"

Before Xu Ji could nod his head, he snapped again, "Who gave you such rights? Who allowed you to burn the village? Who allowed you to trap the princess in the village? With the title of princess, you, a little superintendent, dare to commit crimes, is this the good son Prime Minister Xu taught you?"

Sweat broke out on Xu Ji's forehead. Before he planned to burn the village, he hadn't received the letter from his sister. When he received the letter, he had already issued an order. The reason why he didn't remove the dry firewood now was to scare Lu Yaoyao. He never expected Tang Zhen to appear here.

"Even if you want to stop the plague, you must rely on Yi Zheng's opinion. Qi Yi Zheng told you clearly that the plague has improved, why do you still burn the village?" Tang Zhen refused to give Xu Ji a chance. He opened his mouth and continued to curse in a deep voice.

Everyone around didn't dare to say anything, they just watched Xu Ji being scolded by Tang Zhen.

Xu Ji's face turned pale and then red. He was Prime Minister Xu's son, so he didn't dare to go anywhere. Others would always treat him with disrespect. No one had ever dared to scold him in public like this.

"Marquis Jingning, I just said it, it was...to prevent the plague from infecting more people, and, before the princess entered the village, I had already warned her..." Xu Ji poked his neck in defense.

Tang Zhen sneered, "Warning? Xu Ji, it's really surprising that such words came from your mouth. You can use any excuse. What happened today will have its own holy order in the future. You can tell the emperor about your excuse in the future." .”

Xu Ji's face became more and more ugly.

Tang Zhen turned to look at Zheng Yulong, "Master Zheng, what do you think about these dry firewood?"

Zheng Yulong said hastily, "Your Majesty, ask someone to remove all these dry firewood immediately."

"Jingninghou, if the plague in the village spreads outside, who will be responsible?" Xu Ji asked loudly.

Tang Zhen glanced at him with a half-smile, "You just have to be careful not to get infected."

Xu Ji was furious when he heard the words, isn't this clearly cursing him? But he dared not speak out. The men in black behind Tang Zhen didn't look like ordinary guards. He still didn't dare to challenge Tang Zhen's position in the emperor's heart.

"Go back and tell Governor Zhang that the Marquis is waiting for him here, get out!" Tang Zhen snorted coldly, and drove Xu Ji away rudely.

"You..." Xu Ji was so angry that he almost wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. It was a great shame, no one had ever treated him like this.

Tang Zhen ignored him and strode towards the village.

Zheng Yulong didn't go to see Xu Ji, but told the soldiers around, "Hurry up, take away all the dry firewood and vegetable oil in the village, hurry up."

Xu Ji looked at Tang Zhen's back with a pale face. If he had a chance in the future, he would definitely return all the insults he received today.

Although he didn't achieve what he wanted, but at least the things his sister told him were completed, Lu Yaoyao already knew that he was out of favor, so he shouldn't be too arrogant when he returned to the capital, and his sister's position in the palace should be more stable. As for that Ye Yaoyao, a woman of unknown origin, even if she becomes a concubine in the future, how can she be her sister's opponent.
