Chapter 180 Three things to do when a new official takes office
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Xiaobai is a male tiger and cannot give birth to cubs." She poured a cup of tea and handed it to He Yunyi, "Drink some tea to warm yourself up."
He Yunyi took it with a smile, and said with some regret: "It would be great if I could also raise a tiger. If there is danger, I won't be afraid anymore."
When Shang Ruoyi heard her say this, her eyes lit up.
Why didn't she think of that?
My spiritual spring water can attract Xiaobai, and it will definitely attract other tigers or wild beasts. If I can collect more tigers and use them to guard my house, not to mention thieves, even ants will probably have to take a detour.
She looked at Xiaobai, and it felt as if there were two hard-to-ignore burning gazes falling on it. Its tiger skin twitched a few times, and it could not stand Shang Ruoyi's gaze anymore, so it turned its head to look at her.
Sure enough, she was staring at him with glowing eyes.
After He Yunyi left, Shang Ruoyi slowly walked up to it and rubbed its ears a few times: "Xiaobai, do you want to be the tiger king? Do you want to have a group of younger brothers?"
Xiaobai was about to shake his head, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but blink.
Tiger King?
little brother?
That sounds good!
When Shang Ruoyi saw it hesitate, she knew there was hope, the smile on her lips widened, and she continued to fool it.
"Just think about it, if you had dozens or even hundreds of tigers under your command, how powerful it would be!"
Xiaobai was still too naive and was confused by her few words.
Until it set out to look for other tigers, it still felt that its master did this in order to make it the real tiger king.
As soon as Xiaobai left, a group of yamen runners came and told them to gather at the city defense department.
All those who came as exiles must go.
"Sister-in-law, why do you have to mobilize so many troops?" He Yunyi followed beside her. Today, He Yunyi was wearing a pink brocade robe with a fur collar at the neckline, looking very cute.
Shang Ruoyi tightened her cloak and whispered, "I heard that Zhao Junyi was killed by the snow bandits from the Black Wind Village. Maybe the new lord from the City Defense Department has arrived, so let's go and pay our respects to him."
She was right.
At this time, Zhang Wenyu was followed by a man in his forties with a somewhat wretched face.
He was the official transferred to the place of exile, Zhao Gang.
He looked forward and saw that everyone was there, except the He family.
"Master Zhang, have you sent anyone to inform the He family?"
Zhang Wenyu nodded, and at this moment, a group of people came up in a mighty manner.
Zhao Gang took a closer look and realized that this person was not a fugitive.
The way he dresses and his style are no less than when he was in the capital before!
He looked around and didn't see He Jingheng, so his eyes darkened.
He looked past Zhang Wenyu and said in a deep voice, "Where is He Jingheng?"
Shang Ruoyi said calmly: "My husband is not in good condition to walk, so I didn't let him come over in this icy and snowy weather."
"How dare you! Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhao Gang stared, pointed at Shang Ruoyi's nose, and shouted, "Bring him here quickly, or I'll punish him. None of you He family members will be able to escape!"
When the He family heard this, their faces turned very ugly.
This official came right up to cause trouble for the He family, clearly targeting them. He must have been instructed by someone.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Zhao Gang pulled out the whip from his waist and raised his hand to swing it down.
Shang Ruoyi took a step forward, grabbed the whip with her bare hands, and exerted force, and the whip was easily taken away by her.
Lord Zhang felt relieved upon seeing this. Shang Ruoyi was a person that the Crown Prince cared about very much. If she was hurt or injured, and the Crown Prince blamed her, he would have no way to explain himself.
Zhao Gang didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman in front of him actually knew martial arts and could easily snatch the whip from his hand. His face looked very ugly.
He shouted angrily, "You want to rebel! Come! Take her into custody immediately!"
"Wait!" Zhang Wenyu stepped forward, his tone slightly heavy: "Master Zhao, you may not know much since you are new here. He Jingheng is in a wheelchair. If we ask him to come in this icy and snowy weather, we may have to wait until dark."
Hearing what Lord Zhang said, Zhao Gang's expression eased slightly, but he still looked at Shang Ruoyi with anger in his eyes.
She actually dared to embarrass him in front of so many people. If he doesn't teach her a lesson, how will he maintain his authority in the land of exile in the future?
Moreover, when he was assigned here, he received instructions from his superiors that it would be best to kill all the members of the He family in this place of exile.
Shang Ruoyi handed the whip to the yamen runner next to her, and the yamen runner hurriedly took it with both hands.
They knew clearly that when the snow bandits went down the mountain, except for the city defense office and the people living near the city defense office, there were no casualties in the entire Shiya Village. In the past, when the snow bandits went down the mountain, only a handful of people could survive. This time, so many people survived, which must have been the work of the He family.
Being able to repel the snow bandits requires extraordinary strength.
Moreover, they all heard the earth-shaking noises, and they wondered what kind of powerful weapon could make the earth tremble.
In their eyes, only the He family could do such an earth-shaking thing.
Therefore, at this time, he was cautious and prudent in his attitude towards the He family, not daring to be disrespectful.
Especially the mistress of the He family.
Lord Zhang walked up to the crowd and said in a deep voice, "This is the new official, Lord Zhao Gang. Lord Zhao will take charge of all matters in the exile area."
Zhao Gang? Also surnamed Zhao?
Could it be that he is related to that bastard Zhao Junyi?
Zhao Gang took a step forward, lowered the corners of his lips, and said in a deep voice: "I have always been strict. You must not fall into my hands, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" His eyes moved across everyone's faces and suddenly fixed on He Yunyi.
Zhao Junyi just loves money, but he is a greedy and lustful person.
Shang Ruoyi noticed his eyes and her heart sank.
I didn't expect that he would dare to target He Yunyi.
She moved slightly to block He Yunyi. Seeing this, Zhao Gang had an even worse impression of Shang Ruoyi.
He couldn't deny that Shang Ruoyi was very beautiful, but although she was beautiful, the aura around her was very terrifying. He liked beauties as gentle and fragile as He Yunyi.
"You!" Zhao Gang pointed at He Yunyi and said, "Come forward."
Shang Ruoyi frowned, pulled He Yunyi's arm, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what the master wants to do?"
"What does it have to do with you? It's her that I want."
"My Lord, what do you want to tell this immature child of mine?" Shang Ruoyi smiled sarcastically, "Do you have any selfish motives?"
"How dare you! You are a criminal woman, yet you dare to disobey me again and again? I think you are tired of living!"
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "So what if she is a criminal woman? The one who decided to exile the king's palace was the emperor, not you. As an official, you only have the power of management. We have not committed any crime here. Not to mention that you are just an official, even if the prime minister is standing here, he has no right to punish us! Disobedience? You are not worthy of saying this word. Do you think you are the emperor?"
