Chapter 1547 Contempt

Xiao Rongyan, who was sitting on the main seat, held in one hand the memorial that the local county magistrate had not yet sent to Yandu... to ask for rewards from these clan members. He stretched out his hand to warm the fire, and lowered his eyes without looking at the people kneeling in the main hall. The silver mask of the royal family member was flickered by the firelight.

The local magistrate and the general who defended the city knelt behind several royal family members, their heads lowered, and they did not dare to look at the regent who was on the throne and was known for his ruthless tactics.

"Where is the magistrate of Yueyi County?" Xiao Rongyan asked.

The Liyi County Magistrate tensed up when he heard this, and quickly walked forward from behind on his knees: "I'm here!"

Xiao Rongyan casually threw the fold on the ebony table beside him, warmed his hands over the fire, and looked at the county magistrate with deep eyes: "The epidemic in Yueyi City was caused by these royal family members who were naked and took the pulse of the people at the rescue center and in the city. Prescription?"

Listening to Xiao Rongyan's calm and cold voice, the Liyi County Magistrate suddenly understood that the regent wanted to meet these royal family members not to reward these family members, but to question them all.

"No...it's not..." The county magistrate of Yueyi had beads of sweat on his forehead and lowered his head, "Of course it was the doctor who went to the treatment center to check the people's pulses and prescribe prescriptions!"

Xiao Rongyan asked again: "Then...are these royal family members entering the treatment center and bringing their own servants to help take care of the patients?"

"Yes...no!" the Yueyi County Magistrate's voice became smaller and smaller, "Yes...they are the soldiers guarding the city."

"Oh? Then I am curious about what the royal family members have done that are indispensable for their contribution. When the county magistrate saw me, he said that the royal family members had contributed a lot this time. He also asked for credit for the royal family members in the book. But he was vague...can't tell what credit he deserved?" Xiao Rongyan picked up the tea cup.

Several clan members kneeling at Xiao Rongyan's feet were extremely frightened when they heard this. When the little emperor ascended the throne... they still remembered how Xiao Rongyan dealt with the clan members. Even two of them committed crimes a few months ago. Wrong, Xiao Rongyan was kicked out of Yandu!

Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the epidemic in the city and ask the county magistrate to give them some credit, so that the little emperor could know their loyalty and give them a chance to return to Yandu. After all, if it really happened If you stay here for the rest of your life, far away from the center of power, then your life will be over.

Unexpectedly, the regent came to Anshun City.

The magistrate of Yueyi County looked at the clansmen who dared not say a word, and slowly said: "Clans... the clansmen sent people to set up porridge sheds to provide porridge to the people, and this prevented Anshun City from starving to death. , Xiaguan... Xiaguan thinks that these people regard food as their top priority, and this is a great merit."

Xiao Rongyan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly: "I think in this city of Yueyi, only the clan members are generous in giving porridge, and no one else is doing it. So the magistrate of Yueyi County only asks for credit from the royal clan? Then I, the king, must do a good job Check it out.”

Upon hearing this, some of the clan members quickly kowtowed and said, "Prince Regent, we were demoted back to Queyi by the Prince Regent for our crimes. We have never wanted to take credit for this. We only want to redeem ourselves!"

The clan members were bright-eyed and naturally knew that Xiao Rongyan was going to get angry because of this incident. They quickly distanced themselves and kowtowed in fear: "Yes, Prince Regent, we have never wanted to take credit. Prince Regent knows this!"

"Prince Regent, this matter is all decided by the Liyi County Magistrate and has nothing to do with us!"

One of the clan members looked at the Liyi County Magistrate and said, "Your Majesty, we have never thought of taking credit for setting up a porridge tent to serve porridge. Why do you want to harm us?"

"The epidemic in Yueyi City has been controlled, and the doctors in the city have contributed a lot. Why did the county magistrate not ask for credit for the doctors in this document, but instead asked for credit for us and other clan members? This is obviously inappropriate. The county magistrate... I am waiting for you The royal family should set up porridge tents to serve porridge, which is not worthy of boasting, but your excuses have plunged us into a place of injustice. Let the regent think of us! Let the people of the world think of us! "

The magistrate of Yueyi County was speechless. It was these clansmen who asked him to plead for credit for them, openly and secretly, and now they are the same clansmen who are shirking it. How can he, a small official, fight with other clansmen? You can't just obey!

But no matter what...these clan members did not say this clearly. Even if he turned white, he would not know how to defend himself.

Xiao Rongyan looked at the magistrate of Yueyi County and was speechless. What else didn't he understand about the indignant look of the general who defended the city of Yueyi City? Didn't he still know the virtues of these royal family members of the Yan Kingdom?

These royal family members are certainly hateful, but the county magistrate of Yueyicheng is also irresponsible. Otherwise, why can't he tell me something now? I think he got hints from these royal family members, and I'm afraid the clan The relatives didn't even use threats. The magistrate of Yueyi County used Baba'er's poem to ask for credit from these relatives.

"They are all from the lower official, aren't they? The lower official... the lower official..."

The county magistrate of Yueyi shivered before he could finish his words when he saw Yue Shi entering the door. He bowed his head and saluted Xiao Rongyan and said, "Your Majesty, someone from Anshun City came and said outside the city that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty has arrived in Anshun City. , please see the Prince Regent... I want to ask the Prince Regent for a person named Zhu Chengru!"

As he spoke, Yue Shi glanced at the magistrate of Yueyi County who was trembling all over, and then said: "It is said that the doctor in Yueyi City was sentenced to be executed. If the Yan Kingdom does not need such talents, they will have them in Zhou Dynasty! Think of it as the regent giving face to the Emperor of Zhou!"

Xiao Rongyan knew that Bai Qingyan was going to Anshun City, otherwise he would not have estimated the time to come to Liyi, which is adjacent to Anshun.

"Zhu Chengru?" Xiao Rongyan read the name, his eyes fell on the clan members and the county magistrate, and saw that the faces of these people became increasingly ugly.

"Prince Regent, Zhu Chengru is the secret work of Zhou Dynasty buried in our country of Yan!" A clan member was heartbroken and hurriedly put a hat on Zhu Chengru's head. "The fact that the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty came to ask for this person in person is ironclad proof! Regent!" Wang Qianqian cannot let this person go lightly, otherwise all those low-minded and untouchable people will follow his example, which will be detrimental to our country, Yan!"

Xiao Rongyan's cold eyes looked towards the clan member who called the people untouchables, making the clan member tremble in fear.

Yue Shi looked at his master and felt something in his heart. In the past, his master had never been angry when he heard others calling people "untouchables".

Inexplicably, he thought of what the eldest daughter of the Bai family had said when she lectured the second master of the Bai family's nephew on the long street of the capital city... The untouchables in the mouth of the bastard were the fans of the Bai family who had been willing to fight for generations. The reason for his body and bones is that the people support him with taxes, and the Bai family is afraid that they will not be able to repay the people.

Yue Shi knew that their master had been unknowingly influenced by the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and now he also regarded the common people very seriously.
