Hua Mantao's head was so dizzy that she was buzzing in her ears, and she almost suspected that she was dreaming or hearing hallucinations.

Gu Xiang looked calm and calm: "Looking at the information provided by Xiang Dahu, it should be correct that compared with what Cui Niangzi said. Eunuch Liu arranged a lot of back-ups, and the remaining bandits around were concentrated in one place and invaded around."

"The day before yesterday, a minor official from the same county had already been to Dali Village and told him to recruit soldiers, recruit labor and resist bandits. Dali Village was very anxious. I think it would be time to arrive in our Guzhuang soon. Although there was Magistrate Wang and Zhou County Magistrate, if the pressure was too great, they would be in a dilemma."

"It's different now that this imperial edict is available. Gu Zhuang has been my fiefdom from now on, and my territory will naturally be my control."

Hua Mantao immediately lowered her head, speechless and ashamed.

Gu Xiang smiled again and said, "And it's not a minor crime to lose the imperial edict, so it's better not to lose it."

Hua Mantao's face turned redder immediately.

It was all his fault. If he hadn't believed others by mistake, arrested, and taken away all the important seals and imperial edicts on his body, how could he have committed such a great sin?

"I am guilty. After I return to the capital, I apologize to Your Majesty and admit the punishment of the beating and accepting punishment - Princess must not do this!"

The Hua family is a famous family in the capital, and all the children in the family are outstanding. There are more than 100 Jinshi alone, and their children are all in the court and the country. Although there are no high-ranking officials of the first and second ranks, there are many officials of the third and fourth ranks, and many of them are in business and military service, which is considered a family with a profound background.

Hua Mantao is the youngest son of the Hua family. He has been fond of studying since childhood. Although he is highly favored, he is a famous Fangzheng person.

Now he is working in the Hanlin Academy. Although his rank is not high, he is only a sixth rank, but he is one of His Majesty's confidants and is very favored by His Majesty.

If His Majesty had not been attracted by him, he would not have specially selected him as the imperial envoy. When he came to Guzhuang to announce the imperial envoy, His Majesty thought for a while and chose the best one.

Hua Mantao's forehead felt a layer of cold sweat. She was scared and embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she looked up and saw that the princess had started to imitate the imperial edict. She took out various seals from her pocket and covered it lightly.

"Take it to dry, and it's almost the same when you go back to the village."

Gu Xiang smiled and reminded the people around him, "This time is not as good as last time. Don't tell Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Zhou. It's not easy for them."

Hua Mantao: "..."

What did the last time… mean?

Why is the princess so skillful in her movements?

Where did this seal come from?

What's even more terrifying is that Hua Mantao couldn't help it and went up to take a look. The seal was actually good at all, and the imperial edict was very similar. Ordinary local officials might not be able to tell the truth or false.

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "Hua Hanlin, please come and see, which gold medal did you bring out of Beijing?"

Hua Mantao: "??"

"I guess there may not be the same. The imperial gold medal used by the imperial envoy is different from these, but it's okay, just behave."

Gu Xiang waved his hand, and the old dog went to help Hua Mantao tidy up his clothes, dressed him neatly, and matched him with a gold medal.

"The imperial envoy is here, who dares to say that this imperial edict is not true?"

Hua Mantao sat on the ground with a thump, her face covered in cold sweat, her eyes were filled with horror, and she stared at Gu Xiang in astonishment.

The old dog smiled and said honestly: "It doesn't matter who wrote the imperial edict. As for the authenticity... As long as your Majesty says it is true, it will naturally be true. What is Hua Hanlin afraid of?"

He said this now, completely missing the strange expression that he had to sacrifice his life at any time when he first saw his little lady doing such amazing operations.

Gu Xiang thought about it, but shook his head: "It's a bit bad. I'm a woman. Your Majesty will naturally tolerate me. What's the matter? Hua Hanlin, you'll fall asleep all the way. If you really want the court to know about this, and if you make trouble again, you'll push everything on me."

She chuckled and pointed at Lao Dog and Chen Xu.

"How can you disobey me if you lose the imperial envoy's ceremonial guard and don't even have a guard?"

Hua Mantao gritted her teeth and lowered her head: "Please ask the princess to tie me up, don't forget to plug my mouth so that I don't make a sound."

If he is safe and sound, he will naturally be blocked by someone who pretends to be an imperial edict.

But Hua Mantao felt that this was not the time to show his integrity. He was not smart. The princess was so prepared. He must not just tell the other party not to do such things that could scare people to death with just a mouth.

Gu Xiang suddenly smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, what if you tie it before returning to the village? Now eat something first?"

Soft and delicious porridge, fragrant buns, big pieces, beef that tastes so fragrant that it makes people saliva.

Hua Mantao instantly felt a greedy person in her belly fighting. She bit open the buns in one bite, and the broth rolled in, making her tears fall down.

This has been happening for several months. Since he was caught and asked to arrest him, even the other party also provided him with delicious food and drink, but where could he eat?

Before this, he didn't feel much, or even had no appetite. At this time, when a bun was eaten, Hua Mantao suddenly felt hunger coming and almost couldn't control it. He couldn't help it for a while. Hua Mantao grabbed the buns with one hand and the cake with the other hand, swallowed them all, and ate them all in one breath, and even licked the rice grains of the porridge into his stomach.

Seeing that he looked pitiful, Gu Xiang could hardly bear it and wanted to give him more food. He took a deep breath and turned his head, which suppressed his pity.

Hua Mantao hasn't eaten seriously for a long time, so suddenly it opens and cannot eat too much, as it can easily damage the stomach.

No matter what Hua Mantao was thinking, everyone rushed back to Guzhuang quickly. When they arrived at the entrance of Guzhuang Village, they saw chaos in the village. The old patriarch led a few young people, and the same team of more than a dozen yamen runners confronted each other, and the two sides were tense.

"What do you want to do? Can't the rebellion be done? Now bandits are attacking Tongxian, and the people of Tongxian work together to fight against the rioters, collect food and pay, and collect military service, which is also for the safety of the villagers!"

"Fuck! You just collected a batch of grain yesterday. When we didn't know, they all went into the pocket of your magistrate's brother-in-law. They actually sold high-priced grain in the county town, and also recruited military service. They were all for us to work as a coolie and die."

Several young people said angrily.

The headed yamen runner's face suddenly changed: "Nobody talks, dare to slander the officials of the court, you want to rebel-"

Bang!

"ah!"

Before the yamen runner finished speaking, his eyes turned dark and he didn't even see the person clearly. He was slapped on his face. Then he heard a gloomy voice in his ear: "Noisy! Princess Yongkang is here, what should you be guilty of offending the imperial carriage?"

The yamen runners were stunned and all were shocked.

Before they could speak, Chen Xu rushed forward with people. Everyone's eyes were cold and fierce, and they overturned and tied up a group of yamen runners and threw them aside.
