Chapter 1548 Quick Wit
However, this royal family member said that the common people were untouchables, fearing that they would offend their master.
"Your Majesty treats the people as your own flesh and blood, but you are so powerful. You call the people untouchables. I wonder whose flag you are pulling to give you a strong reputation?"
Xiao Rongyan's words were very soft and not serious, but these clan members were so frightened that they quickly kowtowed and said they did not dare.
"The general guarding the city came forward to speak..." Xiao Rongyan glanced at these clan members and his eyes fell behind.
The general who defended the city hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back...back to the regent, the imperial court issued an order saying that the epidemic-ravaged medicines in our country of Yan were precious and could not be sent to the city of Zhou Dynasty. However, Zhu Chengru secretly collaborated with the enemy and treason, and sent our country to Yueyi." The medicinal materials that were in short supply were sent to Anshun City, so..."
"His grandma's fart!"
Before the general guarding the city finished speaking, Yue Quanyong, who was kneeling behind him, couldn't help but spat. He couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed in front of Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan looked at Yue Quanyong and quickly remembered Yue Quanyong: "You are... from Xie Xun's army."
Yue Quanyong saluted Xiao Rongyan and said, "Back to the regent, my subordinates were sent to deliver medicinal materials to Liyi!"
"Tell me..." Xiao Rongyan looked at Yue Quanyong and said.
"Back to the regent, Zhu Chengru is the doctor of Liyi City. He saved many people during this great epidemic. Later..." Yue Quanyong looked at the royal family members, "These royal family members Several businessmen were deliberately allowed to use the tea cups used by people infected with the epidemic without knowing it, and brought the epidemic to Anshun City! As a result, the epidemic also broke out in Anshun City. Zhu Chengru's Yue family was in Anshun City. So Zhu Chengru sent medicine to his in-law family once, and this time... Knowing that the epidemic was caused by people from the clan in Liyi City, he thought of the key points, so he sent the grass from his own medicine shop to Anshun City! Then the imperial court The order was issued not to allow medicinal herbs to be sent to the city of Zhou Dynasty. This Zhu Chengru did not know the law and broke the law!"
"You are talking nonsense!" The clan members turned around and pointed at Yue Quanyong's nose and scolded, "It was obvious that the imperial order came first, and Zhu Chengru disobeyed the order and conspired with the enemy country later! You were not in our city of Liyi at the time, where did you come from with these conclusive words? ? Just talk without knowing anything!"
"You are just talking nonsense! My old Yue never lies! If the regent doesn't believe it, he can ask the drugstore clerk, or he can personally interrogate the doctor named Zhu Chengru! Let's see whether the imperial order came first or whether Zhu Chengru violated it The order comes first!" Yue Quanyong ignored the clan and only kowtowed to Xiao Rongyan, "As for the deliberate letting of unknowing merchants from Yan State to contract the epidemic and enter Anshun City, the soldiers guarding the city can all testify, and even the last general listened. The soldiers guarding the city have said this many times, and when people mention that doctor, who wouldn’t praise the doctor’s benevolence!”
"According to the soldiers guarding the city, one of the merchants from Yan State who was infected with the epidemic came back from Anshun City and wanted to enter the city. It was these clansmen who sent people to stop him at the city gate, saying that those merchants had used the drug used by people infected with the epidemic. The tea cups that passed must have been infected but they have not been sent out yet, so they cannot be allowed into the city! The businessman was also given two ways...either to go to the rescue center or to Anshun City! It is precisely because of this...this Zhu Chengru That’s why I hurriedly sent medicinal materials to Anshun City!”
"You...you are such a mouthful!" The royal family members turned their heads and stared at Yue Quanyong fiercely, their eyes split open, "General Yue, how much money did you receive from the Zhu family, and you actually slandered a treasonous person?" Royal clan members, or...you and that Zhu Chengru are in the same group! They are both traitors who collaborate with the enemy! I wish our Yan country lost this gambling, so that you can become a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Prince Regent!" Yue Quanyong was unwilling to speak to those royal family members, with a risk-taking attitude, "I, Yue Quanyong, rushed here to swear that if I tell a single lie, God will let me... my whole family will be infected. You will have to die of the epidemic!"
Some members of the royal family glared angrily at Yanyue Quanyong and gritted their teeth: "Who can't swear! This ethereal thing... can also be used as evidence? It's a joke! Then the government will decide the case... just swear an oath! Who do you want? What are you doing with the evidence?”
"You..." Although Yue Quanyong was not afraid of the royal family, he was speechless after all. He saluted Xiao Rongyan again, patted his chest and said, "If the regent doesn't believe it, you can send someone to guard the city among the soldiers." Check the last one! If I, Yue Quanyong, tell any lies, I will be guilty of the same crime as Zhu Chengru, you chop off my head!"
Yue Quanyong was a martial artist with some courage. Seeing that the general who was guarding the city kept his head down the whole time, he did not take the general who was guarding the city out of the water. If something really happened, he would have taken it on his own, even though he didn't look down on the general who was guarding the city. Although the military general was so courageous, there was really no need to drag in one more person, so Yue Quanyong did not force the general guarding the city to tell the truth immediately.
Without seeing the regent express his position, Yue Quanyong felt that since he had already offended this group of royal family members, he didn't care if he offended him more severely, so he said: "Besides, anyone can swear, saying that this is a fictitious thing, and you won't see any use for it." Is your whole family swearing that if you make false promises, you will die?"
"You are such an ignorant and reckless man, you are not worthy of talking to me and other royal family members! You don't understand anything, and even talking to you makes my mouth dirty!" A royal family member raised his head and looked at Xiao Rongyan, "Regent Mingjian! We A few of us are dedicated to the Yan Kingdom. We are all royal clan members of the Yan Kingdom, and our surname is Murong. Naturally, we don’t want to lose our family to others. We dare to swear... everything we do is for the Yan Kingdom to win. If there are even half a lie, you will be struck by lightning and die! The Prince Regent... a few of us don't want to say it out loud, we just don't want people to think that we are taking credit!"
"Yes, Prince Regent, I guess the reason why the county magistrate comes to ask for credit for us is not because of the epidemic, but because of our efforts to win the gambling contract for Yan State!" said the royal family member. to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate quickly kowtowed and said yes.
Because of Yue Quanyong's interference, some members of the royal clan had quick wits and smoothed over the county magistrate's request for credit for them. The purpose of influencing them was not to embarrass their own people, but to help them compare with the Great Zhou Dynasty. The already weak Yan State just won the bet on the country, and what they did was effective. Even if the regent was angry, he would not punish them severely. These royal family members all thought so.
Xiao Rongyan placed the teacup heavily on the table: "Please give me credit? Why...do you and the county magistrate think you did the right thing?"
"I dare not lower my rank!" The county magistrate kowtowed quickly.
