The county government didn't take Bai Mingyu's words to heart at all. Now that the Marquis and the Emperor are protecting him, he has nothing to fear.

He pulled off the corner of his clothes that was turned inside out: "Is there anything else, Your Majesty? If nothing happens, I will go to the Marquis's Mansion."

Bai Mingyu stared at his triumphant appearance, turned sideways, and asked him to leave.

He was able to get King Nan to make way, and he immediately straightened his waist and felt proud.

He returned to the Yamen to shower and change clothes before arriving at the Marquis's Mansion. As soon as he entered the Marquis's study, a black object hit him on the head.

There was heat gushing out of his forehead, mixed with the fragrance of ink. He stretched out his hand to wipe the liquid on his face and found that it was blood.

He knelt on the ground in fright and saw something lying on the ground, which was used by the Marquis as a paperweight.

"Master Hou, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time."

The Marquis slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "You, you shameless thing, I asked you to be more careful when doing things, and you just gave me such a big gift after changing hands."

"Master Hou, I won't dare to do it anymore, just trust me once."

"You can come out of the dungeon this time and change your mind. Don't cause trouble for me again." The Marquis pointed at him and said.

The county government official kept kowtowing, then lay down on the ground and rolled his eyes.

"Master Marquis, this incident does not prove that your position in the emperor's heart is more important than that of Prince Nan."

The Marquis was still angry and couldn't listen to what he said: "No matter how good the Emperor is to the Marquis, he can't stand you, a piece of mud who can't hold up the wall and hold the Marquis back. Next time, I will fight with you."

Cut off ties.”

The county government official knew the importance of this matter, and his face became serious: "I understand."

"roll!"

He crawled out of the study, stepped out of the Hou Mansion, and spat: "You immortal thing, if I didn't see that you are still of some use, I wouldn't be willing to be so humble."

When Mrs. Marquis returned from an outing, she saw his attitude and asked her servants to stop the carriage.

"Master County Government, I advise you to take care of yourself and don't take yourself too seriously, otherwise you won't know how you died."

He was stunned for a moment, not expecting anyone to pass by, and immediately made a humble appearance: "Madam, I understand."

He returned to the house, picked up the tea and took a sip: "Prince Nan, Lord Marquis, these people must not let me find a chance, otherwise your good days will come to an end."

Bai Mingyu walked into the courtyard. Shen Zhiyue raised her head when she heard the noise and looked at him with a sullen face and his chin held up while watching the show.

"The emperor didn't deal with the county magistrate, did he?"

"The Marquis came forward, and the Emperor tried to protect him."

Shen Zhiyue had long expected this outcome: "It doesn't matter, these people will regret it. All we can do now is wait."

She picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, still unwilling to accept it. Could it be that the officials in the imperial court really protected each other and did nothing.

Shen Zhiyue held his hand: "Evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good. It's not that the time has not come for you not to be repaid."

At night, Yu Cong ran into the yard and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The county government's house is on fire."

Bai Mingyu stood up and wanted to go forward, but his hand was held: "I'll go with you."

They rushed to the magistrate's house and saw a huge fire. The servants in the mansion kept running away. No one seemed to care about the life or death of the magistrate.

The more critical the moment, the more clearly you can see whether the people around you are human beings or ghosts. However, looking at it, there really is no loyal person around the county government.

Bai Mingyu grabbed a servant and asked, "Where is the county magistrate?"

"Master, I'm in the study and haven't come out yet."

Bai Mingyu held her shoulders: "Yue'er, wait for me outside."

"Be careful." Shen Zhiyue said.

Bai Mingyu ran in the direction pointed by the servant. He came to a closed door and kicked it open.

I saw the county government official being tied up hand and foot and hanging on the roof of the house. His eyes were dull and he looked very frightened.

Bai Mingyu pulled out his long sword, cut the rope, and supported his body to leave.

He sat in front of his house, muttering: "Crazy, these people are crazy, crazy."

Bai Mingyu said: "Yue'er, keep an eye on him. I will go rescue the people trapped in the fire."

"Don't worry."

The county government official kept mumbling and repeating the same thing, but he had not yet come out of the fire.

Shen Zhiyue squatted on the ground and looked at him: "There is a saying that is particularly relevant to your current situation. God is watching what you do, and retribution may come before the accident."

Bai Mingyu worked inside for a long time. After making sure there was no one else in the fire, he relaxed and rested.

He didn't have any airs of being a prince. He was sitting on the threshold, breathing slightly and looking like he had lost a lot of energy.

Shen Zhiyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the black spots on his face: "You protect these people so much, I hope one day they can protect you like this."

The rescued man knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for saving your life. I will repay you like a cow or a horse if necessary in the future."

"Go and rest first." Bai Mingyu waved his sleeves. He never expects repayment from others when he saves people.

The crowd gradually dispersed. Bai Mingyu stared at the man sitting on the ground mumbling something. Shen Zhiyue followed his gaze.

"This person has been saying this sentence since he came out. He must be scared out of his wits." She shook her head sympathetically.

Yu Qing hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty, it's bad, there's a fire in the palace."

Bai Mingyu took the horse and rode on it, rushing towards the palace. Shen Zhiyue also pulled a horse to catch up.

The guard at the door saw that it was King Nan and did not stop him. He opened the door and let him in.

He came to the Imperial Study Room: "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

The emperor shook his head. He had never expected that these people would be so pervasive that the palace would become a place for them to make trouble.

Baoshun fell in from the outside, looking weak in the legs: "Something happened to the emperor. The heads of the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites were thrown into the palace."

The emperor said angrily: "You are so outrageous. Do you really think that no one can stop them? Send the imperial army to arrest these merchants. I will kill them."

The guard at the door came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a fire in Shangshu Mansion."

The whole capital was in chaos. After a while, the imperial army rushed in: "Your Majesty, your subordinates went to the merchants' shops. Where they gathered, everyone ran away."

If he couldn't catch him, could he just let these people get on top of him? It didn't make sense.

"Brother Wang, do you have any idea?"

"Your Majesty, this matter originally originated from the county magistrate. Only by dealing with him can the people be angry."

The emperor didn't expect these people to be so powerful. He thought they were just a mob and had nothing to fear.

"I promised Lord Marquis that I would give you a thousand pieces of gold."

Baoshun said cautiously next to him: "Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to the Marquis. This way you won't lose your words and can solve the capital's dilemma."

The emperor stared at him, he was still useful at the critical moment: "You go."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In order to satisfy the emperor and regain his favor, he must do this well.
