Chapter 596: The Bold Prefect
Jiangzhou prefect Tan Qing'e sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? Jiangzhou is plagued by the epidemic. Since Prince Rui was ordered to go south to Jiangzhou, it is only a matter of time before he is infected with the epidemic."
"If she can make it, it's her luck. If she can't, it's her fate."
Otherwise, do you really think that Jiangzhou is so easy to live in?
The female advisor was not as nonchalant as Prefect Tan: "But if His Majesty blames us, how can we bear the consequences?"
"Although the Queen Rui has lost the favor of His Majesty, she is still His Majesty's flesh and blood. If she dies, His Majesty will vent his anger on us, right?"
"Sir, let's be cautious. We can't make any mistakes at this juncture."
Although Magistrate Tan felt that the matter was not that serious, what the lawyer said was not without reason.
Thinking of this, Prefect Tan frowned and looked thoughtful.
"Let me think about this matter."
"grown ups!"
With a panicked shout, a yamen runner came running over in a hurry.
Prefect Tan frowned, looking unhappy: "What's the matter so panic?"
The yamen runner panted and said, "Sir, someone came from outside the palace and said that he was the military supervisor who accompanied the imperial envoy to inspect Jiangzhou."
"Supervisory Army?"
Prefect Tan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in a deep voice: "Since he was with the imperial envoy, why didn't he arrive in Jiangzhou with the imperial envoy's team?"
The female advisor beside him bowed her head and reminded him, "Sir, you forgot that Prince Rui once said that he and the military supervisor went their separate ways. Since the prince arrived first, I think the military supervisor was delayed by something along the way."
"Besides, sir, this military supervisor is no ordinary person, let's go and greet him."
Prefect Tan was unhappy when he heard this: "He is just a military supervisor with no real power. Is it worthy for me to personally welcome him?"
He is just a military inspector. To put it nicely, he is responsible for supervising officials from all over the country and his rank is not low, but in fact he has no real power.
When encountering some officials with strong backing and real power, don't they just try to curry favor with them and behave themselves with their tails between their legs?
If they really overestimate their own abilities and think that they can bully them and give them orders just because they are ordered to do so, they may not even know how they died.
Prefect Tan sneered secretly, his eyes full of disdain, not taking the other party seriously at all.
Seeing the Master's disdainful attitude, the female counselor's heart skipped a beat and she quickly reminded him with a serious expression, "Master, you are confused. No matter what, the other party is the one appointed by His Majesty. If you don't give him face, it will be a slap in His Majesty's face. If someone catches this handle, it may be disadvantageous to you."
"Besides, I heard that the military supervisor this time is the current King Beichen. I think you have also heard of King Beichen's reputation. He is not a good-tempered person. It is better not to offend him easily, sir."
"Is the person coming here really King Beichen?"
Prefect Tan hesitated. If this was really the Prince of Beichen, he could not be negligent.
Thinking of this, Magistrate Tan quickly stood up.
"Come on, follow me and take a look."
"Yes, my lord."
Outside the government office, Bai Qi's dissatisfied voice was heard.
"This Jiangzhou prefect is so arrogant that he made us wait for so long."
"Say less."
Mo Yan rolled his eyes.
I thought she was the only one who was impatient, and she was also very dissatisfied.
But since her master didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the hurried figure of Prefect Tan finally appeared.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Prefect Tan knelt down in fear and trepidation, his panic seemed real.
She didn't expect that the person who came was really King Beichen, she just hoped that the other party would not blame her.
Di Ran held Ji Yunxie's hand and looked down at Prefect Tan with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"The prefect is very hardworking. I will definitely speak well of you in front of His Majesty if I have the chance."
The tone was half-smile, and it was hard to tell whether the words were sarcasm or genuine praise.
