Is there any personal enmity (2)

Du Yongyuan was directly pressed down by the Jinyiwei people. When he started to struggle, he finally remembered his identity.

"I am the third-grade magistrate personally appointed by His Majesty. Even the eldest princess cannot deal with court officials without any reason!"

"What if it's based on this?"

Xia Hanyu took out the Emperor's Order.

As soon as the emperor's order comes out, it is like the emperor's personal visit.

Everyone immediately knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor!"

Du Yongyuan did not expect that Xia Hanyu would have the Emperor's Order in his hand, and His Majesty actually gave her the Emperor's Order!

The whole person immediately slumped down, stopped struggling, and was just dragged down.

This time, the prefect became a prisoner, and the people present were stunned for a moment.

At this time, Xia Chengyun had already run to the stage to untie Ban Zheng.

Ban Zheng was a little flattered.

"I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess for your life-saving grace."

Xia Chengyun waved his hand nonchalantly, "Sister, I said you are a good and upright official, and you cannot die so easily."

Ban Zheng never thought that Xia Hanyu would rate him so highly.

"Thank you, Princess. I feel ashamed."

In this incident, if he had reacted faster, fewer people would have died in Taiping County!

"You've done a great job."

Taiping County was supposed to be the county hardest hit by the disaster, but along the way, Taiping County turned out to be the most stable county with the most surviving people, which shows his ability.

But Xia Hanyu is still a little confused about something.

"Is there still food in the reserve granary today?"

If there are still, why are there still border officers and soldiers who cannot receive military supplies?

Xia Hanyu thought that everything was gone.

"In fact, there is almost not much left. In recent years, most of the people can hardly support themselves and have no food to hand over. Your Majesty has forgiven a lot of food. Naturally, the granary is out of food. Some of it is what was left after hard work in the past.

into food."

Ban Zheng sighed and then said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I opened a warehouse to provide relief, but the food in it could only sustain the people of Taiping County for half a month. If the food from the imperial court has not arrived, Taiping County will not be able to survive!"

"Your Highness may not know something, but now the common people no longer see a few grains of rice in every meal of their porridge."

Hearing this, Fuling quickly said: "It doesn't matter. Our Highness has also brought a lot of food. If we hurry up, we will arrive in Taiping County before tomorrow night, and everyone will have food by then."

"That's great."

Ban Zheng did not expect that Xia Hanyu not only saved his life, but also delivered timely rice to Taiping County.

The people on the side couldn't help but smile.

"Great, it's saved."

"This is all thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Crown Prince."

Xia Hanyu's face was calm and there was no expression on his face.

"Let's go back to the government office first."

After all, we can't just discuss matters at Caishikou, it's so unlucky.

…

After washing up, Ban Zheng of the county government put on his official uniform and straightened himself carefully before appearing again in front of Xia Hanyu and the others.

Xia Hanyu observed him carefully.

Ban Zheng, a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and an upright face, lived up to the name given to him by his father.

At this time, he changed into official uniform and looked a bit more dignified, but he also seemed to be a bit amiable, and he probably didn't have much airs on him on weekdays.

I saw him walking upright and straight in front of Xia Hanyu and Xia Chengyun to deal with them.

"Your Majesty, Ban Zheng, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Xia Hanyu: "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Her Royal Highness, Princess Chang, for giving me a seat."

After saying that, he walked to the side and sat down, sitting opposite Xia Ji.

Xia Ji's Xiuchun Dao has now returned to his scabbard, as if it had never been out of its sheath.

"Ban Zheng, I would like to ask you something. Is there any personal enmity between you and Du Yongyuan?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I have never had any contact with Lord Du except for a few necessary interactions. There should be no hatred or resentment."

Although he didn't understand why Xia Hanyu would ask such a question, Ban Zheng still answered truthfully.

"In that case, why does he have to kill you?"

A normal prefect would not have killed him like this. Even if he really wanted to kill him, he would have waited for the emperor's order before taking action.

Ban Zheng shook his head, "I really don't know."

Yang Hong on the side didn't know what he thought of, but he stopped talking.

Xia Ji said coldly, "You say."

"It's like this. A distant relative of the younger one lived in Minghe Prefecture. After he fled to Taiping County, he told the younger one that the flood had flooded the entire Minghe Prefecture, washed away all our food and clothing, and almost destroyed us. Suddenly there was nothing, and we had no choice but to open a warehouse to release grain. Therefore, when the people in other counties found out, they also made a fuss about releasing grain, and even went as far as the magistrate of Minghe Prefecture."

Having said this, Yang Hong paused before continuing,

"I think adults must have heard something about it. Minghe Prefecture used to be one of the relatively wealthy places in Daxia. For a while, there was not enough room to store grain in the warehouse, so another grain storage warehouse was built, and another one was built in Taiping County. The government office is responsible for it, and the larger granaries built later will be the responsibility of the government office."

"But after this incident came out, Minghe Mansion has been unable to produce food. Everyone said that it was actually empty at all. The food had long been swallowed up by these corrupt officials, either sold or... …It all went into their own bellies.”

"These are just speculations among the people at the time."

"It's groundless, Aji, I'll leave this matter to you."

Xia Hanyu's tone is not high, her voice is clear and shallow, and there is no need to be deliberate, but it always implies her own majesty.

"only."

Xia Ji nodded, stood up and walked out.

Ban Zheng's eyes subconsciously fell on Xia Ji, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Xia Ji could no longer be seen that he couldn't help but sigh: "This Master Xia seems to be a little different from the rumors."

The rumored Jin Yiwei was cruel and murderous, but the Jin Yiwei he saw saved his life.

Although Mr. Xia seems a little indifferent, he does things neatly and neatly. No wonder His Majesty is willing to leave the matter to him.

If it were him, he would also like subordinates who do things neatly and feel comfortable.

Xia Hanyu smiled when he heard what he said, "I think this palace should be different from the rumors."

Ban Zheng shook his head, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is as kind-hearted as the rumors say, and she is always thinking about the people."

Since Xia Hanyu created the snow salt, her reputation among the people has mostly changed, but Xia Hanyu's words on the court made him completely change his mind.

Xia Hanyu smiled but said nothing.

"Master Ban, why don't we get down to business first."

Ban Zheng handed over his hand and said, "I made a mistake when I made a mistake. I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

But he really didn't mean to please, he was just telling the truth.

"No problem." Xia Hanyu waved her hands, but she didn't care about this.

"To be honest, Mr. Ban, I actually have a very important thing that needs you to do, and it can only be done by you."

There are still two to three chapters left, which will be updated in the afternoon or after 8 or 9 pm.
