Chapter 2662: Chapter 2662: Here So Soon
"Enough."
Thinking about it, he sighed softly and stood up.
"Follow me, and together we shall face the two princes and ask them what should be done about the current situation."
...
"This prefect truly lacks courage, and even less so a love for the people." An Jiuyue, through Wei Na, had already clearly discerned the prefect’s reaction.
Knowing the prefect was coming with his people, she sighed softly.
She didn’t even want to see such a person, and bringing him here would just infuriate her.
"When Gong Jian arrives, let him handle it. We don’t need to concern ourselves with it." Qian Jiyun was cutting watermelon for her. He diced the watermelon and placed toothpicks for An Jiuyue to eat.
"The two of us are more suited to handle matters concerning Wulong Mountain and Huayan Peak; when it comes to calming the public, Gong Jian is more proficient."
"Pfft!"
Hearing his words, An Jiuyue couldn’t help but laugh.
"You’re just shy of saying that the two of us can only subdue with force."
At Wulong Mountain and Huayan Peak, strength was respected. With their current power, anyone daring to be arrogant in front of them would be directly subdued with force, sparing any unnecessary words.
But here, it’s different. The common people have their grievances; they have reasons for wanting justice. Leaving the issues to them truly leaves one with a headache.
"The three little rascals have gone to check it out. They’ll return with news; you have some fruit first." Qian Jiyun handed the cut fruit to her.
Originally, only Nuonuo liked joining the crowd, but both the treehouse and Zhou’er were led out by their little brother. The three children always tended toward lively places.
Earlier, hearing that many citizens had gathered at the government entrance, without knowing what was happening, they ran off to watch the crowd.
"Come here."
He called out loudly, and immediately, secret guards came in.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Block those people outside; don’t meet anyone." Qian Jiyun instructed.
"Yes, Master."
The secret guards took the order and were about to turn and leave but were stopped by An Jiuyue.
"Wait."
She agreed with Qian Jiyun’s idea of not wishing to meet anyone from the prefect’s side, but there was one person she had to meet.
"When Lord Gong arrives, let him in." she instructed.
Just recently, Wei Na told her that someone outside the government office has stepped forward, saying they will severely punish Dowager Consort Yu and her son, restore peace to Ying City, and give an account to the people.
This person was the Emperor’s envoy, Lord Gong Jian.
"Yes, Master."
The secret guards responded and immediately turned to exit.
"I didn’t expect Gong Jian to arrive so quickly; it seems he’s eager to handle things here." Qian Jiyun had just received news from Dragon Soul, knowing Gong Jian has arrived.
"Having just arrived and handling such matters, it’s not easy for him."
He shook his head. The matters involving Dowager Consort Yu and her son were not easy to handle, especially with so many deaths involved, and furthermore, the royal family was implicated.
The Fifteenth Prince, after all, is a legitimate royal family member, running amok in Ying City, acting under the royal family banner—he cannot be allowed to ruin the reputation of the Daqing imperial family.
These are not easy matters to handle and are the reason for the prefect group’s headache.
Since ancient times, the hardest cases to manage are those involving the royal family; if handled poorly, it can easily offend people, and for officials like the prefect, it could very well end their career.
