Chapter 2956: Chapter 2956: Madam Is Impressive (3)
"Don’t be foolish now, hurry back, the people of Jin Country are utterly unreasonable. Try to notify that little Divine Doctor, inform her that the marriage alliance with Jin Country is entirely a sham, they are not friendly to the people of Daxuan at all and have confiscated her medicinal wine and tea, which are excellent for prolonging life."
"Alright." Gu Qiao nodded, "I will go immediately." He said as he turned to leave.
"What happened?" Just then, a team of people came over, dispersing the crowd of onlookers and making way for a man in purple attire.
Nalan Hou promptly stepped forward and knelt to salute: "This official pays respects to Prince Consort Wang."
Gongben Hao raised his hand and then looked at Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin.
Gu Qingheng suddenly widened his eyes, raised his hand to point at Gongben Hao, his mouth hung open for a long time before finally closing, swallowing a gulp of saliva: "You are the Prince of Hanzhong."
Gongben Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Who are you?"
"I am from Hanzhong." Gu Qingheng stepped forward, "I’ve seen you, every Lantern Festival, as long as you’re in your fief, you would go up on the city tower to release lanterns with the people."
Gongben Hao’s guard relaxed a bit. With his keen eyesight, he found nothing unusual about this couple, which either meant they were indeed normal or their disguise technique was extraordinarily good.
"Are you truly the Prince of Hanzhong from Daxuan?" Yang Ruxin rushed over, "That’s wonderful, quickly speak to the officials from Jin Country. On what grounds are they confiscating our goods? We’re legitimate merchants; they can’t just arbitrarily label us!"
Gongben Hao disdainfully took two steps back, the scent of whatever powder this woman wore was too overpowering.
"Indeed, Prince of Hanzhong, you’re also a person of Daxuan, you should stand with the people of Daxuan, right?" Gu Qingheng nodded.
"Ah Qiao, don’t go back yet. With the Prince of Hanzhong here, those dog officials from Jin Country won’t dare do anything to us." Yang Ruxin called out to Gu Qiao and Mingxuan, "You can retrieve the goods shortly."
Gu Qiao and Mingxuan stopped in their tracks.
At this moment, all of Gongben Hao’s suspicions dissipated. If they were truly guilty, it was impossible for them not to show it in their eyes or come close to him. He then gestured with his hand: "If you have grievances, you can speak to this king."
"See, Daxuan people are straightforward." Yang Ruxin immediately slapped her thigh, "Their words come with a sense of closeness."
Gu Qingheng bowed his head to hide the twitching corners of his mouth.
Yet Gongben Hao’s mouth twitched noticeably twice.
"Master Jin, please explain." Yang Ruxin nudged Jin Buhuan.
Jin Buhuan then recounted the matter and knelt down to kowtow: "I petition Prince Consort Wang to deliver justice."
Gongben Hao nodded: "I will immediately send people to investigate the situation."
After roughly two quarter-hours, the investigators returned, confirming that a batch of goods was indeed confiscated by the County Governor’s Office, although all the proper documents were complete for the goods.
"Absurd." Gongben Hao looked at Nalan Hou, "We have consistently encouraged trade, how could you act this way?"
"It’s my fault." Nalan Hou quickly bowed his head in admitting his mistake, "The goods will be returned immediately."
"Thank you, Prince Consort Wang." Jin Buhuan was delighted upon hearing this and immediately kowtowed to Gongben Hao.
Gongben Hao turned and walked away.
Nalan Hou also coldly snorted and left.
Jin Buhuan gave Yang Ruxin a thumbs up: "Madam, you are indeed formidable."
