Don't cause trouble when you go out, but if you do, don't be afraid of it. This is what Zhu Tingfang told her yesterday. Zhu Ying was just being perfunctory to her brother, but she still remembered it in her heart. So at first she just casually stabbed the prefect's son, but when he started to get angry and retorted, she was not polite.
Compared to family background, who would she be afraid of
However, Miss Zhu never expected that even though she had already established her authority, there would still be people who were not afraid of death and came up to chat with her. That would have been fine, but the purpose of chatting with her was actually to... recommend himself to be her security guard
She frowned, then turned her head to look over, and saw a man dressed as a pilgrim, wearing a short shirt, a cloth belt and cloth shoes. He had a sturdy build and big hands. At first glance, he looked like he had some strength.
Before she opened her mouth to speak, Zhu Hong stepped forward expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Duke Zhao's mansion has no shortage of guards."
Even though Zhu Hong refused him, the man who was speaking was still not discouraged. He seemed not to notice the furtive eyes around him, and said, "I know that Duke Zhao has made great contributions, and there are naturally many experts in the palace, but this time the eldest son, General Mingwei, is in charge of Cangzhou City, so he is out of reach for the other two counties under Cangzhou."
"Now those lawless merchants and evil gentry have been severely punished, but people in Cangzhou are still uneasy. Miss, please report to General Mingwei on my behalf and give everyone a chance to make amends."
The eldest brother sentenced a lot of people to death and exile in one go, probably more than the number of people killed in Cangzhou in the previous year, plus many guys who had lived in luxury for decades and were called masters by the people were also punished with canes, so the people applauded. But this guy in front of him said that the people's hearts were unsettled, and he also said that he would give everyone a chance to make amends...
Plus, he just said he was willing to serve... What does that mean
Zhu Ying was suspicious, and the look she gave him was more scrutinizing and vigilant. It was true that the young lady was impulsive and willful, but she was not a fool, so after hesitating for a moment, she said calmly, "Since you are a native of Cangzhou and you are here to recommend yourself, then you can replace Guan Tao and be my guide."
"Thank you, Miss!" The middle-aged man was overjoyed. When he heard Zhu Ying asking his name again, he quickly bowed and said, "I am Cao Wu. I am familiar with this Maliu Mountain. The best scenery here is Yuejiao Lake..."
So, a group of scholars and pilgrims stared in amazement at the guy who came from an unknown background but recommended himself, diligently accompanying the unpredictable eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhao, and diligently explaining the scenery of Maliu Mountain. No matter how proud of their talents the scholars were in the past, they all felt like cursing at this moment.
The prefect's son, who was showing off his talent, was ruthlessly kicked over and chased down the mountain by the young lady. Of course, he was really stupid to think that such a strong young lady was from some brothel. However, a seemingly rough peasant who came out of nowhere was actually left behind as a guide.
Has the world turned upside down
