His Dog Isn’t To Be Insulted Lightly
Assistant Prefect Chen was angered away by Jiang Yimian, but he didn’t leave the Yamen, instead heading towards the Yamen’s Study.
Zhou Shiwen was sitting in front of his desk looking at the letter in his hand, the more he looked, the more of a Headache he got. The white hair at his temples, recently dyed black, now showed some silver again.
This time, the people from the Censorate actually came with the Ministry of Works.
Those people from the Censorate are not easy to deal with; he needs to prepare early.
Especially Duke Anguo’s Heir. It is said that as soon as he entered the Censorate a few days ago, he investigated the Ministry of Works once. This time, he even came along, obviously with sinister intentions.
As he was thinking, a knock sounded outside the door, somewhat indistinct in the “whirring” sound of the rain.
“Adult, it is This Official.”
Zhou Shiwen heard this familiar voice and quickly stuffed the letter into the drawer under the desk before saying, “Enter.”
As soon as Assistant Prefect Chen entered the Study, he hurriedly bowed to the other party before respectfully saying, “Adult, those people have been settled. Indeed, as you said, they are all insignificant people.
The people who came are just a ninth-rank Clerk and that newly promoted Imperial Merchant, nothing to care about.
This Official thinks that they are not clever people, there is no need to pay attention to them.
Only…”
Zhou Shiwen raised his head and glanced at him, “Only what?”
Assistant Prefect Chen hesitated for a while before saying, “Only, there are two Women accompanying them. One of the Women is a bit strange. Although she has no official position, she seems to be able to call the shots for that Supervisor.”
If he hadn’t seen that Woman being so arrogant with his own eyes, he would have thought he was dreaming.
A person who does not have any official position is actually a Head-like existence among those people.
Although Supervisor Zhang is only a ninth-rank Clerk, he is still an official, how could he allow a Woman to ride on his head?
And those who are responsible for escorting the Supplies also listen to that Woman, it all looks very strange.
Zhou Shiwen’s expression was strange, “What do you mean by this?”
Assistant Prefect Chen continued, “This Official originally wanted to take stock of the Supplies they brought and put them into the Yamen Warehouse, but that Woman wouldn’t allow it, saying that she wanted to wait until tomorrow, and also asked her Guards to guard those things, so that some sinister people wouldn’t secretly do anything with their Hands and Feet.
Adult, do you think she discovered something?”
After saying that, he glanced nervously at the person in front of the desk.
The meaning in that Woman’s words was too obvious for him to ignore.
Although he was quite angered by the other party’s words just now, he calmed down and found something strange.
That Person seemed to suspect the people in the City and the Yamen.
This suspicion came too inexplicably.
In the past, Officials from the Capital who came to Yuncheng Prefecture every year did not have this kind of suspicion.
Zhou Shiwen only chuckled, with a face full of indifference, and did not take his words to heart, “Just a Woman for warming the bed, what can she discover?
She is just relying on her Looks to act wildly, This Official has seen many things like this that please people with their beauty.
Since she wants to wait until tomorrow, then let it be tomorrow. However, a Woman for warming the bed should do things for warming the bed.”
His, Zhou Shiwen’s, dog cannot be easily insulted by others.
Assistant Prefect Chen was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile, “This Official understands.”
Let that Bitch dare to go against him. After tomorrow, she will probably be too scared to go out.
After speaking, he thought of something again and quickly said, “According to the Garrison Troops, as soon as those people entered the City, they inquired about the Situation in the City and also mentioned the Princess.”
Zhou Shiwen paused, “What did they say?”
Assistant Prefect Chen thought for a while before saying, “According to that Soldier, they asked when the Princess came to Yuncheng. The Soldier said he hadn’t heard of it, and those people didn’t ask any further.”
He seemed to have heard news that the Princess was coming some time ago, but for some reason, there has been no news recently.
If he hadn’t heard the words of the Garrison Troops, he would have almost forgotten.
After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, “Adult, I heard that the Princess is coming to Qingnan for Disaster Relief, why hasn’t she arrived at Yuncheng Prefecture yet? Did something happen on the way? Should This Official send someone to meet her?”
Zhou Shiwen glanced at him, and said without any expression, “What should be done and what should not be done, Assistant Prefect Chen has followed This Official for so many years, wouldn’t he know?”
Assistant Prefect Chen met those dim yellow eyes and was immediately shocked. His body shrank back, and he quickly said, “This Official has overstepped.”
Zhou Shiwen didn’t speak any more, and only signaled the other party to leave.
Assistant Prefect Chen had just walked to the door when he heard the person behind him say, “Keep an eye on the people in the Yamen.”
After Jiang Yimian let Liuer out, she first washed up. After several Days of Rough Living, she was also a little tired. She took a Hot Water bath and changed her Clothes.
Liuer finally came back from outside, her face a bit serious.
“Girl, there are people staring at us outside the Courtyard, and there are also people staring at Wang San’s side.”
Jiang Yimian nodded, not surprised by this.
It’s just that the uncertain suspicions in her heart became more certain.
She originally thought that she might be overthinking it, but now it seems that there is indeed something fishy about this Yuncheng Prefecture.
She just doesn’t know what that Prefect is hiding.
Seeing that she was not speaking, Liuer lowered her voice and said, “Girl, should I Probe the Situation in the City?”
Jiang Yimian shook her head, “No need. Those people must have made preparations early. You won’t be able to find anything even if you investigate in the City.”
Just like that Garrison Troops, he didn’t know anything when asked. She guessed that the others should be similar.
Thinking about it, she was too lazy to dwell on those things, and would wait until tomorrow.
She just looked at Liuer and said, “How has your body been feeling recently?”
Since Liuer said that she wanted her to help with Detoxification that night, she had taken Liuer’s pulse, prescribed several Recipes, and used Silver Needle treatment in Coordination.
The Birthmark on her face was visibly fading, and the Toxin in her body was slowly disappearing.
Liuer was stunned, and it took her a while to realize that Jiang Yimian was asking about the Toxin in her body.
She hesitated for a while before saying, “It’s much better. The Birthmark on my face has faded a bit. I think the Toxin will be completely cleared after some time.”
She was also a little surprised. Originally, she just wanted to try letting Jiang Yimian Detoxification her, without much Hope. She never thought it would actually work.
Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with a smile, “That’s good. I’ll change the medicine for you in a few Days. It’s getting late today, you should go back and rest first.”
Only then did Liuer retreat.
The “whirring” rain outside didn’t stop until late at night.
This night, there was silence in Yuncheng Prefecture.
In the Mountain Forest hundreds of miles away from Yuncheng Prefecture, there were many people standing densely packed.
Those people were each holding silver knives and carrying Torches, traveling through the forest, seemingly looking for someone.
However, even with such intensive searching, they still found nothing.
The Head said with a cold smile, “Continue searching for me. I don’t believe that These Two People can grow wings and fly away.”
The others responded and searched the forest again.
