The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 289 Are you going to make Gu be ridiculed by the whole world?

Xiao Yunzhi's face darkened: Why did he still come to this point?

Didn't Xiao Yunming arrive in Lunan on time and send back news that everything is normal?

Tsk, that trash.

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, Magistrate He formally changed into his official robes but stood in front of the city gate with a cloth towel covering his face, surrounded by guards covering his head and face, only his eyes were exposed.

Looks more like a masked assassin.

Xiao Yunzhi counted them, and the number of guards was enough to win the time to open the door for Sheriff He to re-enter the city under any circumstances.

Even if His Highness the Crown Prince came in person, Governor He would still stand close to the gate of the city, saying nothing and never coming forward.

The corner of Xiao Yunzhi's mouth curled up: he is a pity for his life.

It's good to cherish life, fear of death has weakness.

Governor He casually bent his knees as a salute, and his attitude was very perfunctory.

Xiao Yunzhi asked first: "Where is the fifth prince?"

He Junshou said: "His Highness Fifth was seriously injured by bandits, and he is still unconscious."

The corner of Xiao Yunzhi's mouth twitched, it was really time for him to be injured and unconscious.

Just as he was about to step forward, Sheriff He made another stop motion.

"His Royal Highness, wait a minute!"

He apologized and said with a smile: "A few days ago, a fever broke out in the city, and the people who came into contact with the patients also fell down one after another. The officials have ordered that the people with symptoms be placed separately, but now it is not sure whether other people in the city have contracted the disease. , so for the sake of His Highness's safety, I dare not come close to greet you, and I hope His Highness will forgive you!"

Xiao Yunzhi didn't force it yet, and listened to him from a long distance away.

Then he whispered a few words to Yeji next to him, and Yeji mobilized his internal energy and asked, "How are the people? Are there any missing medicinal materials?"

"Why didn't you report the epidemic to the imperial court?"

"If the epidemic spreads and worsens, can Mr. He take this responsibility?"

Not to mention Xiao Yunzhi, even Ye Chi, who was far away, still sounded like he was shouting at the top of his voice, but he was calm and relaxed, with a relaxed expression on his face.

He Neng suddenly felt that his blushing neck and rough and loud voice was a bit stupid, so he also learned to let the guards pass on the message.

"It's just a small number of people who are sick. It's not serious. The lower officials have ordered people to place them far away and alone. They don't have contact with others. I believe it won't spread."

Report to the court?

Drought is considered a natural disaster, and the court will not blame him, but if the epidemic is reported, will he still be a sheriff?

Besides, this was just an excuse, if the court believed it and all the relief supplies were replaced with medicinal materials, where would he go to make money?

He Junshou continued: "But how can His Highness, the prince, be in danger, why not just station outside the city..."

Xiao Yunzhi just laughed: "According to the intention of the county guard, Gu came all the way from the capital to relieve the disaster, but in the end he didn't even dare to enter the city gate?"

"Are you going to make Gu be ridiculed by the whole world?"

Sheriff He was very embarrassed. If he hadn't prepared his speech a long time ago, he would have been almost speechless.

"His Royal Highness, it's not that the lower officials won't let you in, it's that there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the city right now, and only enough reconnaissance is enough for the common people who are sick. Your team is not familiar with the epidemic situation. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be the opposite. The consumption of supplies has affected the treatment of the people!"

Xiao Yunzhi understood, the subtext of these words is - if you go to the city, you will add to the chaos.

He Junshou said again: "And, if something happens to you, the lower officials can't bear it!"

Xiao Yunzhi asked him: "What does the governor of He mean, to take these things and stay in place, and wait for the city to return to normal on its own? Or simply abandon the people in the city and go back to the capital to enjoy the blessings?"
