The Fifth Prince's Halo
When Xuan Linyu's group arrived at the southern part of the city, the local officials knelt outside the manor to welcome them. The ten-mile long red carpet was a symbol of the Fifth Prince's nobility.
The local official's attentive appearance was as if he had seen his own mother. His waist was bent to his knees, and he did not dare to look up. The Fifth Prince didn't even look at him and walked straight into the hall.
Xuan Linyu sat on the main seat and swept a cold glance at the officials dressed in official robes below. He raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. The magistrate quickly bowed down to apologize and ordered people to pull out the grain from the warehouse. Xuan Linyu's expression softened when he saw the grain.
Xuan Linyu couldn't wait any longer until the people in the county government took out the grain and personally delivered it to the city gate. Standing, sitting, lying outside the city gate, disaster victims greeted his eyes. However, there was not a single disaster victim in the city. The seemingly peaceful world outside the city gates was simply earth-shattering.
A guard whispered something into Xuan Linyu's ear. Xuan Linyu nodded and frowned slightly. His eyes were cold. That guard's body froze for a moment before returning to its original state after Xuan Linyu left his side. The other guards looked at him sympathetically when they saw this. He followed Xuan Linyu's footsteps and walked forward.
Xuan Linyu had never thought that a small magistrate would not only not treat the victims, but also forbid them from entering the city. If it wasn't for the fact that someone had already sent a memorial to explain the situation here, perhaps even the Emperor would have been kept in the dark and thought that the world was still peaceful and prosperous.
Xuan Linyu had already planned long ago that after this matter was settled, he would return to the capital to participate in a book. This magistrate should go to the prison to rest. A parent official who did not care about the lives of the people was not a good official. What was the use of keeping him?
When Xuan Linyu walked to the city gate, all the commoners widened their eyes and looked at this rich young master who was dressed luxuriously and had an imposing appearance. The commoners did not know that this was the current Fifth Prince and how noble his status was.
Xuan Linyu stood in the porridge tent and looked at the steaming porridge in the big pot in front of him. Looking at the anticipation and hope in the eyes of the people, he did not wait for an order to wave his hand and order the guards to start serving porridge.
The guard bowed." Yes, Fifth Prince.”His voice was loud and clear, just like the soldiers who had been on the battlefield. He listened to the command and was filled with blood.
When the commoners nearby heard the guard address Xuan Linyu as the Fifth Prince, they knew that they would never be able to see the honorable Fifth Prince in front of them in their lifetime. The people who heard this knelt down and said," Thank you, Fifth Prince.”
Those who didn't know at first were still surprised why the people who were close to them had to kneel. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly." A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, Fifth Prince!"
His voice was so loud that it resounded through the clouds. A subtle change flashed across Xuan Linyu's eyes. In just an instant, he returned to his supreme appearance. That innate majesty made people shudder.
"Everyone, get up and line up to receive the porridge one by one.”Xuan Linyu's speed of sound was slow but not slow. His voice gave people the feeling that they did not need any reason to believe him.
Only then did the disaster victims dare to stand up and raise their heads to size up Xuan Linyu. Many disaster victims could faintly see a faint halo behind the Fifth Prince. In the hearts of the disaster victims, Xuan Linyu was sent by the heavens to save them. Xuan Linyu was like a god in their hearts.
The corners of Xuan Linyu's mouth curled up slightly as he smiled at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. He retreated to the side and sat on a chair to drink tea slowly. When many disaster victims had brought porridge and steamed buns to eat at the side. Xuan Linyu raised his head and swept his gaze across the group of disaster victims. He was also using this opportunity to defeat the crown prince.
He was thankful that the disaster this time had made him enter his father's eyes. Xuan Linyu waved his hand and a guard came in front of him. He knelt down and waited for Xuan Linyu to order him to do something.
"Go to the yamen and pass on Bengong's words. Tell them that Bengong has asked them to send all the people who can move to the city gate for instructions.”Xuan Linyu finished speaking calmly before standing up and walking towards the open space outside the city.
The guard received the order and rushed to the county government. When the magistrate heard that the Fifth Prince had sent someone to inform them to go to the city gate, he did not dare to delay and ordered everyone to quickly follow the guard to the city gate.
It took the magistrate and the others an hour to arrive at the city gate. One could imagine how fast they were, afraid of being punished by the Fifth Prince if they were late. When Xuan Linyu saw the people from the county office, his gaze turned even colder and his body temperature dropped by several degrees. The hot weather made people want to put on more clothes.
"This humble servant greets the Fifth Prince." The magistrate led the county government runners to salute Xuan Linyu, the sweat on his forehead not being wiped away in a hurry. I can only let it fall
Xuan Linyu was in a daze for a moment before coldly asking them to get up. The magistrate wiped the sweat off his forehead, thinking to himself, could it be that they were late and the Fifth Prince was angry?
"May I know why the Fifth Prince summoned us here?”The magistrate spoke carefully, afraid that he would offend Xuan Linyu again.
"Tell your men to quickly build houses on this empty land so that the disaster victims can have a place to live.”Xuan Linyu ignored the magistrate's stunned expression and continued to order them around.
When the disaster victims heard that they were going to build houses for them, they looked at Xuan Linyu with tears in their eyes and gratitude. In their hearts, they silently agreed that the Fifth Prince was really a living Buddha. For several days, not only did the government not allow them to enter the city, but they insisted on entering the city and were beaten up by the guards before being expelled from the city. These few days, they could only starve outside the city and did not dare to cause trouble and seek justice from the county government.
It was the Fifth Prince who had saved them and made them no longer in danger. The disaster victims knelt down and kowtowed to Xuan Linyu as if they had a tacit understanding. "Thank you, Fifth Prince, for your great kindness.”
The magistrate saw that the disaster victims were all kneeling down and did not dare to stand there and kneel down as well. His inner clothes were already drenched in sweat and stuck to his body tightly. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly and obediently lowered his head, waiting for the Fifth Prince to speak.
"No need for formalities." This sound was like a heavy weight that struck the hearts of the disaster victims. It also gave hope to the disaster victims. The eyes of the disaster victims flickered with hope. The image of the Fifth Prince in their hearts had already far surpassed the current Emperor.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that the Fifth Prince had come to help them on the Emperor's orders. Of course, the matter of building the house was Xuan Linyu's own idea.
The bailiffs didn't dare to delay any longer. They picked up their weapons and began to repair the houses. However, there were too many victims. It was far from enough to rely on the bailiffs. Xuan Linyu called all the guards he brought over to help.
Some of the disaster victims who were in a better condition could not help but follow to help. Usually, these bailiffs would not care about it, but today, they were overjoyed. When one disaster victim went to help, there would be a second one. Then, more and more disaster victims united to help.
Xuan Linyu smiled in relief when he saw this. He sat at the side and let them do whatever they wanted.
