Chapter 416 What a Big Meeting Gift
Cui Pu hurriedly ordered sharply: "Tell the boatman to speed up, and throw off the boat behind me!"

"Abandoned, it's different in Guangzhou and we still have to meet?" Mu Jiaojiao said coolly.

"It's a day to get rid of it!" Cui Pu gritted his teeth.

Poor boy, how far has he been forced by Hejian County King?

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him with pity, and silently swallowed the sigh back into his stomach.

As a matter of course, Cui Pu's nemesis, Prince Hejian, deserved his name.Although Cui Pu repeatedly urged the boatman to speed up, considering the three young children on board, he still didn't play to the point where he was so crazy when he dealt with Wu Lixin.So, after the boat sailed for a day and arrived at Huzhou for rest, the boat of King Hejian still caught up with them.

"Grandfather of the county king!" The eldest lady had a good impression of the county king of Hejian.Seeing him coming, she quickly threw herself into his arms, chirping like a little sparrow, "Are you going with us? You're going to Guangzhou too, right?"

"That's right! I'm sick, and I have to let your mother treat me. If I don't have her by my side, I will die of illness." Hejian County King Rou Rou said with a smile.

The big lady's face immediately revealed a frightened and affectionate expression. "Grandpa Junwang, are you sick? Why didn't I know! Or, I'll give you two needles!"

As she spoke, she quickly revealed the two silver needles she had hidden in her sleeves.

Two cold lights reflected from the tip of the needle, which made Prince Hejian's face change.

"No need!" He quickly shook his head, "I'm fine now. I decided to go to Guangzhou with your parents just in case. Of course, the main reason is that I can't bear you!"

"Really? You really don't need me to give you two needles? My needles are very accurate now, Auntie said!" The eldest lady was still reluctant to let go of such a good partner, so she quickly moved Mu Jiaojiao. come out.

King Hejian shook his head resolutely: "No, no, no. If you really want to prick me, just wait until I get sick!"

"Okay then!" The bucket of cold water was poured on the head full of enthusiasm, and the big lady put away the silver needle in dismay, and the smile disappeared on her little face.

The Hejian County King felt distressed when he saw it, and quickly hugged her to persuade her softly.He was quite capable, and within a short meeting, the eldest lady was coaxed into a smile, and then she hugged his neck and Grandpa the Duke kept screaming.

Cui Pu watched from a distance, the knuckles of the fingers holding the chopsticks were faintly white.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him speechlessly. "How about you go and snatch the child back now?"

"I don't want it. Now that it's over, I must be the one who is ashamed." Cui Pu muffled.

After dealing with him for the past few years, he now has a clear understanding of the abilities of Prince Hejian.With the situation in front of him, if he dared to come to the door, the old man would dare to give him shame!
It's a trivial matter to embarrass yourself, anyway, he has lost a lot in the past.But now, it is to let his daughter see his unbearable side, he does not agree!It was so hard for me to establish a tall and mighty image in the eyes of my daughter, how could I allow this old man to destroy it like this?
Therefore, his final choice is—forbearance!

When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, she could only curl her lips, not once.

On the other hand, Mr. Dalang twitched his small mouth lightly when he saw this, and quickly whispered to Mu Jiaojiao again: "Aniang, I don't want anyone but you!"

"Well, Da Lang is so good." Mu Jiaojiao hastily rubbed the soft top of his son's head.Mr. Dalang immediately bowed his head happily and picked up the meal.

It was so easy until the eldest lady was tired from playing and fell asleep in the arms of the king of Hejian. Cui Pu stepped forward and said aggressively: "Thank you, the king, for taking care of the daughter of the official. But now, since the child Asleep, then please hand her over to the next official!"

"Okay, it just so happens that the king is also tired." The king of Hejian County was kind, and immediately handed over the sleeping lady to him.

Cui Pu quickly hugged his daughter tightly in his arms, and then smiled coldly at the Duke of Hejian: "Your Majesty must be careful on the way to Guangzhou this time. Now our boat is full of people, if you are not careful If you are sick, I am afraid there is no good place to put you!"

The implication is - don't try to climb on our boat this time, I have already filled all the places that can be filled, and there is no room without you!
The King of Hejian raised his eyebrows: "Is that so? Well, this king knows."

Cui Pu nodded in satisfaction, then turned and left with his daughter in his arms.

In the days that followed, the King of Hejian really followed behind their boat obediently, playing the piano and playing the flute every day, which was extremely elegant.The eldest lady looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help thinking about learning the piano again. Cui Pu quickly agreed, promising to hire a piano teacher to teach her when she arrived in Guangzhou.

In a flash, they have been on the road for more than three months, and Zhuhai Port will arrive soon.

But three days before arriving at Zhuhai Port, Cui Pu discussed with Mu Jiaojiao at night: "This time, Guangzhou Mansion is no different from a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The most important thing is that I am not familiar with the place where I was born. We just went there. Others can make me suffer a lot by messing with things casually. So I think, this time, let's not go there so grandiosely. Seize the opportunity to change boats and approach Guangzhou quietly all the way, and by the way, we can also go there halfway Ask for some information. In this way, at least a little disaster can be avoided."

Mu Jiaojiao felt that it was reasonable. "Okay, everything is up to you."

When he got up the next day, Cui Pu really told Xiao Sier to prepare the boat, and his family of five took Hu San and other rangers into the boat, and Xiao Sier led the big boat, and continued to move forward Walk.The five of them also changed into coarse cloth clothes, and after a simple disguise, they blended into the crowd and disappeared.

The eldest lady and Mr. Dalang were tired of taking the big boat, and now they saw that they had changed to a small boat to play, and they were immediately excited again. The siblings were also deeply amazed at Mu Jiaojiao's disguise technique, and the eldest lady inevitably pulled Mu Jiaojiao and said that he wanted to learn .As for Mr. Erlang, as long as you don't disturb his sleep, it doesn't matter where he is.

And when the king of Hejian found out what they were doing, he immediately followed suit, and quickly asked Liang Changshi to find a boat, and they boarded the boat and continued to follow the trail of Cui Pu's family.

The boat was mixed among the boats bound for Guangzhou, and arrived at the Pearl River Port slowly.

After some examination and questioning, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao took the three children to the shore.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the whole family was tired after tossing around for a long time.It happened to be the rainy season again, and today Zhuhai was raining heavily, making the official roads muddy and difficult for carriages to move forward.

Cui Pu simply told the coachman not to leave. "Go to the post house in Zhuhai Port first, stay there overnight, and wait until tonight."

"Okay!" Hu San, who was in charge of driving the carriage, responded immediately, then turned his horse's head and headed towards the posthouse.

Because of the bad road conditions, their carriage moved extremely slowly.By the time we got to the posthouse, it was already dark.

The family of five got out of the car and was about to go in to shelter from the rain, when they saw a few vicious officers and soldiers entering the post house aggressively.Not long after, there was a commotion in the posthouse, and many ordinary people were driven out with their luggage.

"Get away! Get away! Stop arguing! If you quarrel with the new magistrate, let's see if we don't beat you to death!" An officer and soldier shouted loudly, waving a big knife in his hand.

Dozens of common people stood in the rain, their faces full of hatred.

A bold one couldn't help but said: "Isn't the new magistrate still here? This place is empty and empty, why let us go in to shelter from the rain?"

"Even if the new magistrate doesn't come today, he will definitely come back tomorrow. No matter how bad it is, he will arrive the day after tomorrow. He has been a magistrate in Yangzhou for three years. Do you know the place in Yangzhou? It is picturesque and full of scholars. New The magistrate must also be an elegant person. But if he comes here and sees the mess in the posthouse, he must be in a bad mood, and his first impression of our Guangzhou mansion will be bad. Wait until he blames it, you guys What should I do?" The officers and soldiers continued to yell loudly.

Cui Pu's face darkened instantly, and he was about to step forward.

Mu Jiaojiao grabs him. "hold on."

"I can't wait anymore! They're slandering me!" Cui Pu gritted his teeth, "When did I become a refined person? They're talking nonsense!"

"So, we have to hear how nonsense they can go, and then we can think of a way to fight back!" Mu Jiaojiao gently stroked his hair, "Wait a little longer! It shouldn't be long."

Cui Pu clenched his fist and then let it go, let go and clenched it again, and did this several times before he said unwillingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Over there, when the people heard what the officers and soldiers said, they booed even more.

"No matter how angry the new magistrate is, he can't punish us all, right? Isn't there a saying that the law does not blame the public? Besides, if he really dares to do this, I, I will sue him! When I get to Chang'an, I can't let him ignore human lives like this!"

"Ha, return to Chang'an? Believe it or not, your life will be gone before you get out of Lingnan!" The officers and soldiers sneered.

There was a gasp from among the people.

While talking, I saw another young man in brocade clothes strolling over.

When the officers and soldiers saw it, they hurriedly raised their smiling faces and greeted him: "Mr. Sirang, why are you here?"

"Let me see how the residence you have arranged for the new magistrate." The boy said.

"Mr. Shilang, don't worry, my subordinates have already made arrangements! You see, now my subordinates have driven out the group of untouchables who were hiding in the lobby of the post house to avoid the rain, and will ask someone to clean up the inside later. Give out five upper rooms. When the new magistrate and his party arrive, they can move in immediately, and make sure they live comfortably!" The officers and soldiers announced his plan to the public in great detail.

When the people heard this, they became angry again.

"Why do you want to give them five rooms? We also took the guide, and the post house should take us in for the night. But you said that the Datong shop is gone, so we can only squat in the lobby. But Why are you able to spare five upper rooms for the new magistrate now? Shouldn’t there be a first-come-first-served basis for everything, why should he enjoy such treatment?”

"Why? Just because he is the new magistrate, just because he is much nobler than you all! You group of ants-like characters, how can you be compared with the new prefect? If he lives alone, it is enough to be kind to you all!"

"You...you bully people too much! The new magistrate is a human being, and we are human beings, so why should he be bullied by him like this? We won't do it!"

"Yes, don't do it! The new magistrate has already bullied the people like this before he came, so what will happen when he comes? Corrupt officials like this are simply a disaster. Why are we so miserable? Such a new magistrate?"

"Hey, why didn't God let this corrupt official drown in the sea?"

……

Listening to the people venting their grievances on him and cursing him, the veins on Cui Pu's forehead popped one after another.

When the young man heard the people's words, his face sank immediately: "You all have eaten the hearts of bears and leopards! Who gave you the permission to speak ill of the new magistrate? Come on, arrest the person who speaks the most evil words for me. Get up, turn around and hand it over to the new magistrate!"

"Yes!"

Several officers and soldiers immediately walked towards the crowd with swords in hand.

Seeing this, the people who had just yelled at Cui Pu, the new magistrate, immediately ran away screaming.However, the officers and soldiers didn't let them go at all. Whenever they approached people, they would kick them with their feet and beat them with the handle of their knives.

For a while, there was chaos at the gate of the post house, and the people cried for their fathers and mothers, and their hatred for the new magistrate deepened in their hearts.

The young man stood under the eaves, his eyes quietly watching the chaos below, but there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Mu Jiaojiao let go of his hand suddenly: "It's fine, you go!"

Cui Pu was immediately refreshed, and quickly signaled to Hu San: "Go!"

"Yes!"

Hu San and the others couldn't hold back anymore.Seeing Cui Pu's instigation, he rushed forward immediately.The speed is fast, and in the next moment, the officers and soldiers have already blocked the fists and feet stretched out to the common people.

The young man was enjoying watching the chaos below, but suddenly a few people rushed in, and started to kill those officers and soldiers.It can be seen that these people are very skilled, much higher than those officers and soldiers.The result of this is that in less than half a cup of tea, all the officers and soldiers who were still majestic just now were beaten to the ground!

Seeing this, the hearts of the people settled down one by one.If you are daring, just call it out!
The situation that had been arranged so easily was broken, and the young man was furious: "Who are you? Who gave you the courage to do this? Don't you know that beating a court official is a crime that should be punished?"

Hu San kicked the downed officers and soldiers away, and responded loudly: "Of course our master told us!"

"Where's your master? Tell him to come out! When the new magistrate arrives, see if he doesn't punish you severely!"

"I want to see who has the guts to deal with me!" Cui Pu walked out with his head held high upon hearing the sound.
