Chapter 443 (1/2)

The next day, the king of Jin came to Beijing and went straight to the prince Lian's mansion.

”Lord, the king of Jin is here.” Field manager to Chu Lian Road.

Chu Lian eyebrows: ”so fast? Isn't that the day of explanation? ”

Manager Tian said with a smile, ”the king of Jin said that as soon as he received your secret letter, he would hurry to come. I guess he wanted to see the princess. He was in such a hurry.”

Chu Lian smiled: ”if that is the case, I can rest assured that he will come in!” He waved.

Manager Tian turns around and goes out. After a while, he takes min Hengzhi to the study. He still sits in the chair as usual, staring at Min Hengzhi with his eyes straight. The smile on his face seems gentle, but in fact he is indifferent and alienated.

”I don't know what happened when the king summoned Hengzhi to Beijing?”

Chu Lian asked, ”it's nothing. I miss you. I want you to accompany her.”

Minheng's face shows shame: ”there are so many things in Jincheng recently that it's Hengzhi's fault to neglect the princess.”

Chu Lian picked up his eyebrows and said, ”there are so many chores? What chores? ”

Minhengzhi sighed: ”to be honest with Wang Ye, since the flood, there have been bandits around Jincheng. Those refugees are unwilling to go back to their hometown to build houses and farm land for a hard life, so they have started the business of gathering mountains to be bandits. But they have harmed the people of Xinyang mansion, how many caravans and horses have been robbed, and how many women of good families have been robbed.”

Chu Lian frowned, ”don't you have a garrison? Why don't you send troops to wipe out these bandits?”

Min Hengzhi said: ”the garrison is used to guard the customs, not to suppress bandits. Without your order, how dare I use the garrison? Besides, the bandits are running and robbing. There is no fixed place. It's useless for me to send the garrison. Before we arrive, they run away without trace.”
