How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Influenced by Zhu Xiaobiao, students followed suit and set up stages everywhere in the city to tell the story of Yugong moving the mountains and the benefits of digging Yuji Mountain.

The common people admired the man who read books, and listened with great interest, and could not help but feel more and more that they should go and dig mountains.

The atmosphere of mountain digging in the city is getting more and more intense.

At the city gate, Xie Chengze stood alone on the city wall. The golden and scorching midday light fell on his body, as if he was covered with a layer of dazzling golden gauze. On his face, which was so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman, his eyes looked far out of the city with a look of sorrow and compassion, as if he was a compassionate Buddha statue showing mercy to the suffering beings.

Suddenly, the Buddha statue sighed deeply.

"I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. My mouth is going to be thirsty." Xie Chengze looked at the sky in the distance with a sad look. "If someone can shoot a bird for me right now, I will recognize him as my father."

Then let Shen Yuan call the other person grandpa, hehe.

"Your Highness, there is a letter."

Behind him, Wuhen landed quietly and handed him two letters.

Xie Chengze glanced at the envelope and when he saw the words "From my son", he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What the hell is going on.

After opening the envelope, I found that this letter did not talk about state affairs, but was just a simple greeting. The lines of ink were filled with questions about whether my son was tired, greedy, thin, and whether he missed his father. The court was very boring without you, and it was very meaningless to go to court. I wanted to doze off every day.

Xie Chengze:?

What you mean is that I am a joke? I used to be fooling around in the court every day, but when you go to court, you feel as energetic as watching a TV series, right?

Dog Emperor.

Xie Chengze was so angry that he wanted to retort, but when he raised his hand he found that he had no pen or ink.

He couldn't help but look at Wuhen, "Go get some pen and ink."

Wuhen paused for a moment. Seeing that he did not leave immediately, Xie Chengze asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Wuhen stretched his right hand behind him and took out a burlap bag from behind his waist. There was some living creature in the bag, moving, which made Xie Chengze's eyes light up.

"What is it?" He reached out and touched it.

Seeing Xie Chengze's delighted face, Wuhen's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, "Rabbit."

Xie Chengze:!!!

Wuhen! You are my God!!!

Xie Chengze immediately climbed onto his back and said excitedly, "Go home immediately! I want to eat spicy rabbit meat!"

He can't wait any longer!

Inside the government office.

The tall Wuhen sat on a small stool, plucking the hair and dirt from the dead wild rabbit in his hand with a knife. Xie Chengze found a brush from the table and was about to reply when he caught a glimpse of the rabbit's blood on the ground outside and immediately came up with an idea.

He quickly grabbed the letter paper, ran out in small steps, licked the brush hair with his wet tongue, dipped it in the rabbit's blood, and replied on the back of Emperor Jian's letter:

I am so miserable...

"Hmm~" Xie Chengze squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin and observed for a while, then added some wavy water lines vertically under the words, making the already hideous and twisted handwriting even more terrifying.

Not bad.

This time the emotions were expressed very well.

Xie Chengze nodded with satisfaction and went to get the second letter. He guessed that this letter was also a meaningless family letter from Emperor Jian, so he replied to them together.

Xie Chengze picked it up and found that it was a letter from Shen Yuan.

"The plan is complete. When will the commercial grain be dispatched?"

Shen Yuan's handwriting is elegant and regular, with a comfortable feeling between the lines. This was his writing style when he first debuted. Even though Xie Chengze didn't understand calligraphy, he could tell the beauty and freshness of it at a glance, like the spring mountain breeze blowing through the willow branches and leaves, refreshing the heart.

Shen Yuan's later writing style is unrestrained and yet imprisoned, as if a beast trapped in a cage is tearing at the worn and rusty iron cage, but the iron chain on his neck and the iron balls on his limbs restrict his ferocious movements and make it difficult for him to breathe.

Now Shen Yuan wrote his handwriting like this, he was pretending to be young in front of him.

Oh, so cute!

Xie Chengze dipped his pen in the rabbit's blood and wrote next to it: Bring me some delicious food from over there! Also, we'll leave today.

Afraid that Shen Yuan wouldn't understand, he added another sentence on the back of the letter: Your kitchen! Move everything out! Move everything out!

After finishing writing, Xie Chengze still felt a little unsatisfied.

The letter paper was too small. It couldn't even contain his ugly handwriting.

Never mind, I’ll just write these for now.

Xie Chengze went to get the envelopes, his eyes fell on one that was titled "From my son personally" and the other that was titled "From Your Highness personally". His mind suddenly moved again, and he put the letter to Shen Yuan into the envelope titled "From my son personally".

Anyway, Shen Yuan will lose the bet, so it's only natural to call him son~

As for the other letter, Xie Chengze simply erased the word "Your Highness" in "Your Highness personally wrote it" before handing it to Wuhen.

After Wuhen roasted the rabbit, he went to the post station to deliver a letter. There were two people waiting there. Wuhen took out the letter and looked at the inscription on the envelope.

My son’s personal letter... It was given by Emperor Jian. Last time, Your Highness also stuffed it directly into the original envelope and sent it back. So this letter should be a reply to Emperor Jian.

Wuhen looked at another envelope and thought to himself that as a prince, His Highness must not treat Shen Yuan casually, so he deliberately erased the word "Your Highness" to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding.

So he sent the letter with only the two words "Personally addressed" to Shen Yuan who was far away at the pass of Yizhou.

……

Refugees from the disaster-stricken counties in the southern flood area also arrived in Jiangdu County the next day. Their own county magistrate refused to distribute food, so they heard that Jiangdu County had surplus relief food, so they came in person to seek survival.

Xie Chengze stood on the city wall and looked at them.

These refugees all gathered here in a short period of time. There must be someone behind the scenes directing them. Shen Yuan must have forced some people into a corner, causing them to want to create problems for Shen Yuan, and then take advantage of this to let people in the court impeach him for being unworthy of the position, and then take the opportunity to arrange their own people here.

I wonder if his reply of "I am so miserable" would be misunderstood by Emperor Jian and he would really send someone to come...

I was careless...

Xie Chengze was tapping his chin in thought when suddenly a hand came down heavily on his shoulder, causing him to shiver with fear.

who? !

After coming to this world, no one except Emperor Jian and the Crown Prince dared to put their hands directly on his shoulders. Xie Chengze turned around quickly, but met a pair of bloodshot eyes with fatigue in them.

"Shen...Yuan?" Xie Chengze asked in surprise and looked at him in disbelief.

How could he be here? Shouldn't he be heading here with the merchants' grain carts?

"You..." Shen Yuan looked at him tiredly, then frowned, "Are you okay?"

"What could possibly happen to me? What are you talking about?" Xie Chengze looked puzzled. He glanced at Shen Yuan's hands and waist, but didn't see any storage bags. He couldn't help but said unhappily, "Where's my delicious food?"

Why is he so stingy? Isn't it just bringing some food? Even if you can't empty that bastard's kitchen, it would be fine to bring him a piece of cake and a roast chicken to satisfy his cravings, right?

"What delicious food?" Shen Yuan frowned, his face showing a hint of irritation, and pushed the letter in his hand towards Xie Chengze, "Didn't you write in blood in the letter to ask me for help?"

He thought Xie Chengze was in danger of his life. It's not that he didn't consider that Xie Chengze was protected by Wuhen, but Xie Chengze's words and deeds now were different from those in his previous life. He still held on to the possibility that "maybe Xie Chengze sent Wuhen out to do things, which led to the kidnapping threat", and rushed back without stopping.

But unexpectedly, Xie Chengze was fine.

Was he fooled again?

Xie Chengze took the letter and looked at the four bloody characters "I'm so miserable" and an ellipsis on it: ...

broken.

Wuhen must have gotten the letter wrong.
