He couldn't help but panic.
"What should I do?"
I thought the job assigned by my father was just to gild my resume, but now I have to handle government affairs and quell public grievances. I have no experience at all.
The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are they looking for the imperial envoy?"
Ao Jingshan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why His Highness asked this question, but he nodded anyway.
"Yes."
"That's good. I'm not an imperial envoy."
"..."
Ao Jingshan wanted to vomit blood after hearing this.
He thought to himself that if a war really broke out, the Seventh Prince must not be allowed to take command, otherwise morale would surely plummet.
At this time, Luo Weiyang and Mu Shi arrived.
The girl asked, "Where are the local officials? I remember this is Tongshui County, right? Where is the county magistrate?"
The Seventh Prince finally reacted.
"Yes, I will take care of your worries. Let the Tongshui County Magistrate handle this matter!"
Ao Jingshan looked embarrassed.
"Your Highness, not only the county magistrate, but also the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the county lieutenant are present. However, there are many rioters, and they all have their own opinions. It is impossible to persuade them with just a few words."
The implication was that officials at the county level were no longer effective, and the Seventh Prince had to step in.
The seventh prince looked as pale as dust, as if he had eaten something.
Luo Weiyang sighed.
I thought to myself that this guy really can't be relied on.
She asked, "Those rioters are still outside the camp, right?"
Ao Jingshan nodded.
"Yes."
"In that case, let's go in through the back door of the headquarters first, and then raise the dragon flag. I think those rioters will not dare to cause trouble again."
The Seventh Prince standing by was a little unsure.
"Is this...is this okay?"
No one can give an accurate answer to whether it is possible or not.
Mu Shi said: "To reply to Your Highness, this is how the situation is usually resolved."
The Seventh Prince was skeptical, but finally nodded.
The royal team sneaked in through the back door of the headquarters like thieves, and then the flag guards raised the dragon flag.
As a result, something unexpected happened.
Seeing the dragon flag, the rioters became more agitated.
"The imperial envoy has indeed arrived."
"But, I heard that the imperial envoy not only has to raise the Xuanhuang Emperor's dragon flag, but also a small flag with the imperial envoy's surname embroidered on it. Now there is only a dragon flag, which is obviously not right..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Who cares who he is? As long as he can make the decision for us, that's fine."
……
People dressed in clothes of all colors flocked to the gate like a tide.
Immediately, the soldiers drew their weapons.
"Death to trespassers!"
As a result, this statement caused a backlash.
Someone shouted: "The imperial envoy came to Bozhou to help us solve our problems! How can you go back on your word!?"
Similar calls came one after another.
The Seventh Prince felt sick after hearing this.
He complained to Luo Weiyang: "Look, we shouldn't have set out today. We should have found a wild place to set up camp and go around it tomorrow, right?"
Everyone: "..."
Luo Weiyang was helpless.
"Your Highness, you are representing the Emperor. How can you take a detour? Where will the royal family save its reputation?"
This sentence made the Seventh Prince blush.
He said helplessly: "What should we do? Now that the flag has been raised, we must resolve the current situation."
"Or, you can go out..."
"Don't even think about it."
"Then please call the magistrate of Tongshui County in and ask him about the situation."
The seventh prince has no opinion of his own and is willing to accept advice.
Luo Weiyang found a corner, reached into her bosom, and took out a piece of translucent paper.
There are countless stars on this piece of paper, some big and some small, with faint lines connecting the stars, as if hundreds of constellations were drawn on it.
The girl waved to Mu Shi.
"Sister, give me the map."
"it is good."
Mu Shi unfolded the map.
Luo Weiyang overlapped the largest star on the constellation map with the point where the capital was located, and then slowly rotated the star map to find the location of the Tongshui County land vein.
a long time,
"All right."
The girl took out a small cylinder she carried with her and pulled out a piece of paper, about the size of a sticky note.
She described the riots on a note, put it back into the bamboo tube, and then pressed it on the star where the capital was.
Not long after, there was a slight vibration in the air.
Luo Weiyang opened the bamboo tube,
The content on the note changed: Li Qingcha will go to help, please be patient.
At the same time, the following conversation occurred in the nine-person chat group:
"One: Number Three, are you still in Bozhou?"
"Three: Yes."
"One: You can contact Li Qingcha, right?"
"Three: Then I'm gone."
"One: This is a matter of great importance. Tell Li Qingcha that the Imperial Envoy's headquarters has been attacked by rioters and that he is needed to help. If this matter is handled well, you should be able to get a promotion."
"Three: I don't know him well, how can I tell him?"
"One: slip him a note, ask a kid to give him a letter..."
"One: There are so many ways!"
"three:……"
"Three: Okay."
Chapter 225 GHS That's Exclusive to the Royal Family
The sun is gradually setting.
Because Bozhou is in the plum rain season, the weather is not very cool even in the evening, but instead has an indescribable heat.
A group of county officials were inside the headquarters, with their heads lowered, like primary school students waiting to be scolded.
The Seventh Prince paced back and forth.
"I will report this to my father when I get back, and have all of you removed from your posts and investigated!"
He was furious.
All the officials knelt down immediately.
"Your Highness, please have mercy!"
"Give me mercy? You have changed so many officials in Tongshui County. Have you ever changed anything? It's just a change of name!"
"..."
"If those rioters outside continue to attack the headquarters, they will charge at the inn! Then they will charge at me! There is nowhere else to attack! Do you want them to charge at the imperial palace in the capital?"
The Seventh Prince was furious.
The county officials were all muttering in their hearts:
If you have the ability, go out and confront the rioters instead of getting angry here.
What’s the point of being a bully in your own home?
Of course, I couldn't say this out loud.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The officials were silent.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the inn became indescribably strange.
The Seventh Prince turned to Luo Weiyang, only to find that Luo Weiyang was not nervous at all, and was playing and frolicking with Xiao Hui, having a great time.
His face darkened.
"Miss Luo, do you have a solution?"
Luo Weiyang nodded.
"Well... let me see..."
She glanced out the window, her eyes lingering on the crescent moon in the sky.
"According to the time, it should be about the same."

Outside the headquarters,
Clang——
The sword and shield soldiers showed their shining weapons.
Behind them, the crossbowmen were also ready, with their jet-black arrows glowing coldly, aimed at the group of rioters.
Ao Jingshan shouted, "Don't you want to die?"
The voice is fierce and the momentum is strong.
No one dared to step forward.
A standoff ensued between the officers and soldiers and the rioters.
Suddenly, a voice was heard from the crowd: "Since the imperial envoy has come to Bozhou, shouldn't he listen to the sufferings of us common people? Why won't you let us see him? We want to see the imperial envoy!"
Ao Jingshan hesitated, not knowing whether he should reveal that the person who came here was not the imperial envoy, but the seventh prince.
In the eyes of the people, the royal family is greater than the imperial envoy.
