Chapter 219 The Governor of Xuzhou is a Clown
Shen Zhiyi felt that the governor of Xuzhou's behavior was inconsistent with the male chauvinism of feudal society.
Even the old emperor wouldn't allow the empress to slap him like that in front of so many people.
The fact that these two dared to raise their hands to fight so directly shows that they are not afraid.
Shen Zhiyi clicked her tongue in amazement.
There's definitely something inside that I don't know about.
The governor of Xuzhou froze, turned around, and pulled two women to his left and right as they walked out.
After driving the people out, he made sure to close the gate to the courtyard.
After leaning against the door and catching his breath for a while, he straightened his clothes, crossed the small stone bridge, and came to the old emperor.
"You must be laughing at me. They're just a bit hot-tempered, but they're kind at heart."
[Hmm, they are indeed quite kind. Although the wife and favorite concubine of the governor of Xuzhou often bicker, they both visit impoverished families every month to offer them warmth and assistance.]
The old emperor's expression softened slightly.
They couldn't help but wonder if this person really hadn't embezzled anything.
He shook his head at himself.
That's impossible. Just from that one memorial he submitted to swindle money from, it's impossible that this person in front of me didn't embezzle.
The governor of Xuzhou raised the corners of his lips, and said in a voice, "Say more, clear his name!"
He really didn't embezzle the people's hard-earned money.
【Eh? 】
【what? 】
Shen Zhiyi rubbed her eyes.
[That's incredibly explosive!]
What?! It exploded!
Before everyone's excitement had subsided, Shen Zhiyi pulled them up again.
The governor of Xuzhou nervously twirled his fingers.
What's with that voice? Why don't we try to understand that he's also someone who cares about the people?
That's really unconventional!
[The wife of the governor of Xuzhou and the governor's favorite concubine once talked about it, oh my god.]
Too shocked to speak, Shen Zhiyi stood frozen in place.
Apart from her, everyone else stood frozen in place.
A possibility I never thought possible.
Therefore, the two men arguing back and forth in front of the governor of Xuzhou was actually a case of "a beating is a sign of affection," and the governor of Xuzhou, who was mediating between the two, was simply a clown.
Hahaha, clown.
The governor of Xuzhou was petrified.
He didn't consider himself a good person, but he was very good to the two women he loved most.
As a result, the two women he loved most betrayed him.
He was filled with anger, but had nowhere to vent it.
The word "clown" echoed in my mind.
The shrill sound was deafening.
The Eighth Princess's eyes lit up.
She never imagined she wasn't the only bisexual in the world; she found someone like her.
The Eighth Princess leaned close to the old emperor and whispered, "Father, may I..."
"cannot!"
The old emperor turned slightly to the side.
"When we get back, I'll find you a good family to marry into."
To prevent this girl from having designs on his harem.
Dangerous, truly dangerous.
The Eighth Princess sighed slightly. Her father was unreliable, so she decided to discuss the matter with the governor of Xuzhou herself.
After Lezi finished watching, the group went back to their room to get some rest.
But the Dragonscale Guards in the shadows have little to rest from.
On one hand, they had to protect the old emperor's personal safety, and on the other hand, they had to investigate the corruption of the governor of Xuzhou.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel stood opposite the old emperor and began to report on what he knew.
"Your Majesty, this governor of Xuzhou is from Chenzhou in Henan Province. He comes from a poor family. His family worked so hard to support him to study that they died young."
Along the way, many county magistrates and prefects rose from the bottom; in a way, the old emperor did give many common people opportunities to climb the social ladder.
The old emperor tugged at his beard with amusement.
Many people praise him, but he prefers what comes out of Shen Zhiyi's mouth.
"Well, keep talking."
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel doesn't even want to talk about it anymore.
He silently took out a small mirror and handed it to the emperor.
The old emperor didn't understand. When he took it and looked at it, he saw that it was the corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress no matter what.
"Ahem, stop interrupting and get back to what you were saying."
"Your Majesty, the most prominent characteristic of the Prefect of Xuzhou is his fear of death. The servants in his residence say that if he gets even one more gray hair, he will… uh, he will…"
The old emperor pursed his lips.
"You don't need to say anything more."
Why didn't you say so? I don't know.
Shen Zhiyi looked down at the daily log she had only half-written, and her occasional obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in.
uncomfortable.
[That old emperor is really something, what can't he say?]
The old emperor snorted coldly, and everyone present understood what he meant, except for Shen Zhiyi, who was rather slow-witted.
He stood up and paced back and forth.
"So this person is so afraid of death that he is greedy for life to the extreme. Ha, the previous governor was afraid that he would have no descendants to carry on his legacy, and the governor of this place is afraid that he will die early. So he came up with a wicked and crooked method."
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel paused for a moment, then said, "It is indeed somewhat disgusting."
It's absolutely disgusting!!!
“It is indeed disgusting.” The newly appointed Minister of Personnel skillfully changed his words: “But there is no relevant explicit provision in the laws of Daye, and this person should not have harmed the women’s lives. I have also sent people to inquire, and the women in the mansion and the women on the pleasure boat were all there voluntarily.”
Now it was the old emperor's turn to feel disgusted.
He was caught in a rut, neither feeling good nor bad.
There's absolutely nothing we can do about the governor of Xuzhou in this matter.
Just plain disgusting people.
"Oh, I see. What the governor of Xuzhou did was immoral, but the law didn't explicitly forbid it."
The governor of Xuzhou, who had just brought over the soup with great enthusiasm, heard Shen Zhiyi's words.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, still feeling a bit shaken.
Fortunately, he only wanted blood, not other people's lives.
He understands best the difference between having a full meal at one meal and having a full meal every day.
Chen Decai noticed that someone had come from outside and walked over to the old emperor.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Xuzhou has arrived."
"Hmm, let him in."
The old emperor looked down and fell silent when he saw the soup being served.
The governor of Xuzhou immediately understood the meaning in the old emperor's eyes and stepped forward obsequiously.
"Don't worry, sir, there's nothing else inside."
The old emperor was relieved.
The governor of Xuzhou was saddened.
He held back for a moment, but couldn't resist.
"Sir, are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"
The old emperor stared at the other party expressionlessly.
The governor of Xuzhou became obedient.
[This governor of Xuzhou... oh, he's got a sty. You idiot system, quickly censor this! I don't want to see what he, his wife, and his concubine were just doing—what a mess!]
The system's gloating voice rang out.
[Host, didn't you really want to see this?]
[I don't want to see him at all. He looks so old, and he wasn't handsome when he was young.]
The governor of Xuzhou was deeply hurt.
but……
He looked around with his eyes. At this moment, there was only the old emperor, a eunuch, two people recording the old emperor's words and deeds, and the newly appointed Minister of Personnel in the room.
First, we can rule out the old emperor, eunuchs, and the Minister of Personnel.
So this voice must belong to the court attendant or the court servant.
