Chapter 15

Cui Mansion.

"By the order of the Emperor, the decree says: The world is in great disaster, and the disaster in Qingshui City is like fire. Cui Xinghe of the Cui family has the talent of a pillar of the country. I specially order Cui Xinghe to be the temporary Inspecting Censor, in charge of all matters in Qingshui City, to stabilize grain prices at the fastest speed, return peace to the people, set off immediately, and do not make any mistakes. This is the decree!"

Cui Xinghe was wearing official robes, his handsome face full of excitement.

"This subject, Cui Xinghe, accepts the decree and will do my best!"

He took the imperial decree, his heart excited.

"The Emperor has an order, please ask Minister Cui to pack up simply and set off immediately. Wan'er still has important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

Shangguan Wan'er said, and then took another imperial decree and left in another direction.

Cui Xinghe noticed there was another imperial decree, and his pupils shrank.

Looking at the direction Shangguan Wan'er left.

That is... the direction of the Duke of Ding Prefecture!

His face sank instantly.

On the side, a middle-aged man with a majestic face came to Cui Xinghe's side.

He was the head of the Cui family of the Seven Surnames and Five Wangs, Cui Jian.

"If I am not mistaken, this is an assessment by the Empress for you and that Gao Yang."

"Whether my Cui family can get the Empress's trust and go further in this Da Qian depends entirely on you."

Cui Xinghe nodded heavily, "In terms of conspiracies and tricks, I might not be as good as that Gao Yang, but in terms of governing the country, a hundred of him cannot compare to me. The grain price in Qingshui City will definitely drop within fifteen days!"

"Father, just wait for my good news."

Cui Jian nodded with satisfaction, "My son Xinghe has the appearance of a Prime Minister!"

Duke of Ding Prefecture.

Gao Yang's mouth twitched. For a moment, he didn't know if the little girl was caring about him or cursing him.

The little girl is named Gao Ling, the daughter of his second uncle Gao Changlin, and has been close to him since she was a child.

Therefore, Gao Yang still feels that children's words are innocent, children's words are innocent.

He pulled Gao Ling over and pinched her chubby little meat face.

"Ling'er, you are really 'filial' to me."

Gao Ling blinked, unable to understand the irony of "filial to me."

She said with teary eyes, "Brother, I heard from the servants in the mansion that you tore down the imperial decree and are going to be executed. Is this true?"

Gao Yang suddenly realized; he knew it.

What bad intentions can a child have?

Before Gao Yang could speak, Gao Ling said pitifully, "Big brother, the peach blossom pastry at the east end of the city, you promised to buy it for Ling'er to eat. You buy it for Ling'er first, otherwise, if big brother is executed, who will Ling'er find to buy it?"

Gao Yang's mouth twitched, his eyes scanning everywhere.

Gao Ling asked carefully, "Big brother, what are you looking for?"

"Big brother thinks it is necessary to make your childhood more memorable."

"Where is my rattan stick?"

The next second, Gao Ling ran away like a slippery loach.
