Chapter 433 The Prince is Really a Good Man
Soon an old military doctor came hurriedly and took the child away.
Chu Chenfeng frowned, "What's going on?"
Xingyi followed the old military doctor's gaze closely, with a guilty look on his face, "It's my fault, the child... fell."
Chu Chenfeng didn't say much, just asked the military doctor to do his best to treat the child. He also asked someone to bring the child's grandfather over, if... at least he could see the child for the last time.
Just at this time, Yingyi, Xingwu, Dongzi and Erbao also came over. Except for Xingwu, no one else was injured.
"Master, the people have been settled. Fang Huai, the county magistrate of Xueling Town, is outside. Do you want to see him?"
Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Bring it in."
Fang Huai was led in. He lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look around.
"I, Fang Huai, the county magistrate of Xueling Town, pay my respects to His Majesty! May His Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Chu Chenfeng raised his hand slightly, "Get up."
"I dare not, I..." Fang Huai looked ashamed. He was a county magistrate, but he was unable to protect his people. He really couldn't continue to be a county magistrate. He came here today to ask for forgiveness.
Chu Chenfeng knew very well that although this county magistrate had average ability, what was rare was that he was dedicated to serving the people. As a county magistrate, he was already very outstanding.
"The sudden attack by the Simons was something no one could have expected. Fang Huai, you have done your best to protect the people. Although there are still some shortcomings in the handling of the matter, I will not pursue it because you are wholeheartedly serving the people."
"Your Majesty! I am ashamed! So..."
Chu Chenfeng did not give him a chance to speak. "Since you are ashamed, I will give you a chance. From now on, you Fang Huai will stay in Xueling Town forever. As the county magistrate of this small place, there will be no promotion or transfer. You will stay in Xueling Town for the rest of your life and contribute to the livelihood of the people of Xueling Town. Are you willing?"
Fang Huai looked at Chu Chenfeng in disbelief. When he came to his senses, he immediately kowtowed to Chu Chenfeng, "Your Majesty! I am willing! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. Fang Huai will do his best to seek the welfare of the people of Xueling Town in the future."
"Okay, in that case, the comfort of the people and the settlement of the deceased will be handed over to you. If you have any difficulties, please report directly to the higher level. I will also give orders and do my best to help."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. On behalf of the people of Xueling Town, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your great kindness. May Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, waved his hand and asked someone to take Fang Huai out.
Fang Huai had just walked to the door when Ying Yi suddenly spoke.
"Magistrate Fang."
Fang Huai turned around and looked at Ying Yi with a puzzled look, "What's the matter, sir?"
Ying Yi took two steps forward and said, "I heard that the Xue family, the richest family in Xueling Town, met with misfortune, leaving behind an only son, Xue Kang. The second son is young, so I hope County Magistrate Fang will take good care of him."
Fang Huai was stunned at first, then he sighed, "Mr. Xue is a kind man, alas, I didn't expect that he would suffer such an unexpected disaster. Don't worry, sir, as long as Fang Huai is able, he will definitely take care of this child until he grows up."
Ying nodded, "Thank you very much."
Chu Chenfeng did not ask much about Yingyi's behavior. He looked at Xingyi, "Where is Duanmu Huo?"
"They escaped from Xueling Town through a secret passage, but don't worry, Master. Our people caught up with them."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Okay, let's get organized and return to camp tomorrow."
Xingyi's eyes widened, "So urgent?"
Chu Chenfeng glanced at him and asked, "Are you having any trouble?"
"There are nearly 40,000 Simon's surrendered soldiers, and we..."
"I will give you 10,000 men. You stay here to handle the matter. Yingyi can follow me back to the camp."
"······yes."
Dongzi and Erbao looked at each other without saying anything. Why did it feel like the Regent was not in a good mood?
Chu Chenfeng looked at the two of them, "Are you... injured?"
Dongzi glanced at Erbao and said, "We are not injured, but a few brothers were slightly injured."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Then you stay here to recuperate, and go back when you are well." Then he thought of something and looked at Erbao, "You go back with me."
Erbao's eyes flashed, he pursed his lips and glanced at Dongzi.
Dongzi patted his shoulder encouragingly and said, "It's okay, you go back first. We will stay for five days at most, and we will come back to find you after five days."
Erbao didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
After Chu Chenfeng left, Xing Wu approached Xing Yi and said, "Boss, why does the master look so unhappy?"
Xingyi was also a little puzzled, but he always felt that it was related to the letter sent by the butler, and related to... the princess.
"Knowing that the master is in a bad mood, be careful. Don't make any mistakes. Keep your skin tight."
Xing Wu felt a little aggrieved, "Boss, when have I made any mistakes? I've been hurt..."
Can’t my boss see the obvious wound on my arm?
Xing glanced at his arm and said, "Go back and ask someone to make you a pork elbow. It will be healed in two days."
Then he turned and left. With so many prisoners, he had a lot to do.
Xingwu curled his lips, the boss was so cold-blooded.
The next morning, Chu Chenfeng prepared to leave.
The good news is that the injured child was rescued. He may need to rest for a while, but his life is not in danger. The child's grandfather came to the yard where Chu Chenfeng lived early in the morning and kowtowed a few times.
When Chu Chenfeng heard the report from his men, he just said that he knew.
But after he left, Xingyi sent a lot of things to the old man and the child, all of which were daily necessities and some silver, and told him that these were the orders of the regent.
The old man kowtowed to Xing Yi excitedly. He was raising his grandson alone, and his life was already difficult. Now that he encountered such a thing, it was even more difficult. He didn't expect that... The prince was really a good man.

Kyoto, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
He Tian was in the imperial study, eating happily with a chicken leg in one hand and a wine jug in the other.
Chu Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter in his hand. He picked up the jade seal and stamped it on the peace agreement, then carefully picked it up and blew on it.
Then he raised his eyes and said, "Someone come."
A black shadow instantly appeared in the imperial study. He Tian looked up and continued to eat his meal without saying anything. He was very tired after running around for days. His senior brother was too unkind and treated him like an animal.
Humph, this time he must rest well in Kyoto before leaving.
"Send it to the border as quickly as possible and hand it over to the emperor's uncle."
"Yes!"
The shadow disappeared, and He Tian glanced at the little emperor. "Xiao Jie, have you visited Little Ninth Emperor's wife recently? Senior Brother went to the border right after getting married. I wonder if she is unhappy? Women need to be coaxed, and Senior Brother is a wooden stake, he definitely doesn't know how to coax people."
Chu Jie put down the memorial in his hand and said, "I have been too busy these days and have not been there. But I often visited the Imperial Aunt before. The Imperial Aunt is very sensible and does not care about these things at all."
"That's good. Hehehe, my senior brother also asked me to bring back a letter and something. I don't know what it is?"
He Tian took the things out of the bag and wanted to open it, but he didn't dare. If the eldest brother knew about it, he would probably die miserably. But if the little emperor wanted to see it...
Chu Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is something that the emperor's uncle gave to the emperor's aunt. I advise Uncle He, you'd better not be too curious."
He Tian curled his lips, "You are not interested at all?"
Chu Jie shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.
He Tian sighed helplessly. This kid was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.
