The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 63
Jiang Nian finished writing the official document in his hand and sent someone back to the imperial capital.

The fortification of this embankment has entered the final stage, and the things have been packed last night, and they will leave immediately for the next location.

The day when the torrential rain calculated by Qintian monitoring is getting closer and closer, the location they are heading to now is the most important place.

They arrived at their destination that evening.

The next day, Jiang Nian, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Industry, inspected the progress of the project as usual.

The official pointed to the team of the long dragon, and said with a smile: "I heard that His Highness is coming. In the past few days, more and more servants have been recruited into the army. I was worried that it would be too late, but now it seems that the work will be completed before the rainstorm."

Seeing the bustling scene on the embankment, Jiang Nian nodded in satisfaction, "It's so good."

At this time, there was some commotion ahead.

A few older servants surrounded one person and beat him, and the harsh shouting and cursing could be heard from a distance.

"What are you doing? Stop it!" the supervisor officer hastily shouted to stop.

Seeing that the imperial husband and his party were about to come over, such a mistake happened, and the officials in charge were furious.

Jiang Nian frowned, "What's going on?"

Since the start of repairing the embankment, there has never been a fight.

The official from the Ministry of Industry quickly bowed and said, "My minister, go and have a look."

Jiang Nian raised his hand to stop him and said, "No need, I'll go take a look with you alone."

With that said, Jiang Nian and the others quickened their pace and walked towards the location where the incident happened.

Those who were fighting were quickly pulled away, and the supervisor went up and kicked each of them, and said fiercely: "Don't die? How dare you be presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness!"

One of the servants who took the lead in beating people said angrily: "My lord, this kid is looking for trouble! He threw all our tools into the river! That's the guy we eat! I just want to ask for an explanation, so he just Swear at us!"

The supervisor glanced at the young man who had been beaten. He was lowering his head at the moment, his face was painted, and he looked angry.

He had an impression of this man. When recruiting a servant, he came with his old father.His father looked like a farmer at first glance, and although this young man was wearing coarse cloth bunts, he had handsome features, white and thin palms, and a bookish air, and he did not seem to be from a peasant family at all.

His old father said, "This kid has been studying in the academy. Because I am old, he came back to help out on leave."

It's not like this happened in the past, and the official who was in charge of recruiting people at that time let him into the camp.Because of working under the scorching sun during this period, the young man's fair skin was tanned and his hands were rough.

Never imagined!A person who looks quite honest would do such a thing?
The supervisor's gaze went back and forth on the several people, and he raised his foot to reward the beating people with a kick.

"Nonsense, how can someone who is a scholar do such a thing, I think you have lost your tools and blame others!"

Those few people repeatedly complained about being wronged, when Jiang Nian and others had already come here.

"See Your Highness, Your Majesty!" The overseer hurriedly saluted, and said, "I'm not good at supervising things, and I disturbed Your Highness."

The people around also knelt down one after another, saying thousand years old.

Jiang Nian frowned slightly and said, "Now that the fortifications are tense, why are you making trouble?"

Because the supervisor had a good impression of the young man who was beaten, he said: "These people lost their tools, so they depended on others to be honest children, and even beat them with their hands. I will punish them severely!"

Jiang Nian's eyes moved to the young man, who happened to look up at him, his lips were slightly pursed, and he remained stubborn.

"How could it be such a coincidence that so many people's tools were lost together?" Jiang Nian laughed.

Hearing his words, the young man's face changed slightly.

And when the servants who beat people heard the words of the imperial husband, they were obviously helping themselves, so they hurriedly kowtowed: "The imperial husband is wise!"

Upon seeing this, the supervisor said: "Your Highness has never dealt with these people before. They are very cunning and just bully honest people."

The smile on Jiang Nian's face became stronger, and he glanced at the young man, "How do you know that he is honest and the others are cunning?"

The supervisor was taken aback when he heard the words, he hesitated and said, "Because...because..."

Before he finished speaking, the servants yelled, "My lord, you can't look down on us just because we come from a humble background. Although we are rough people, we still have principles!"

The young man took a few steps on his knees and kowtowed to Jiang Nian, "Your Highness, the villain has wronged you!"

"Bah, I saw you throw our tools into the river with my own eyes, and the people next to me saw it too, so you are still wronged!" The servant who took the lead in beating people spat dissatisfiedly.

Jiang Nian raised his hand to signal them not to quarrel, and said lightly: "The construction period is tight now, so I won't bother with you, and I will give you a replacement set of tools. If someone has trouble again, I will never let you down!"

Those people hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.

The young man stared at Jiang Nian, and said loudly: "Your Highness, what about the villain's grievances?"

Jiang Nian glanced at him indifferently, "Go and do the work you should do first, as Gu said, there should be no delay in the construction period."

The young man wanted to say something more, but the supervisor hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, Your Highness said that you don't care about it, you kid, don't be serious, go to work!"

Accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Nian continued on his way.

The young man knelt on the spot for a while, making sure that this person would not come back, then clenched his fists, got up, and continued to work.

That night, after dinner, Jiang Nian suddenly said, "Go for a walk by the embankment alone."

Jing Ming cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, wondering: "Didn't you just patrol in the morning? Why are you going again?"

Jiang Nian didn't answer, just took a cloak and put it on, and was about to go out.

Jing Ming had no choice but to hand over the work of cleaning the dishes to other servants. He made a lantern himself and walked in front to illuminate him.

Because the repair work will continue at night, a long string of torches are lit beside the embankment, illuminating the embankment as bright as day.

The laborers who had left the fields joined the work one after another. Even at night, the river bank was still very lively.

Jiang Nian stood by the embankment to blow the wind for a while, then walked out in another direction on his own.

Jing Ming was puzzled and said: "Your Highness, over there is the tent where the servants are resting. What are you doing going there?"

Jiang Nian didn't answer him, but just walked around the tent.

At this time, the servants who had worked all day during the day were having dinner together.

The servants who beat people were sitting together, chatting happily.And the young man who was beaten was isolated and gnawed on the buns by himself.

Jiang Nian stopped and stood there watching for a while.

The young man was extremely alert, and when he sensed that someone was watching him, he immediately raised his head.After seeing Jiang Nian's gaze, he was so shocked that his head fell to the ground.

Jiang Nian just glanced at him indifferently, turned around and left.

The grown-ups noticed that most of the buns had fallen to the ground, and immediately said contemptuously: "Waste the food! I don't even look at my status, do you really think it's great to know a few words?"

The young man stood up in a huff and strode after Jiang Nian.

"Bah, what kind of airs are you putting on!" the person who led the beating during the day spat.

Several other servants persuaded: "Forget it, I am a scholar, maybe I will win the first prize in the future!"

"If you win the first prize in the meeting, I will chop off my head and kick it for him!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The young man turned a deaf ear to the ridicule behind him, he was only eager to catch up with Jiang Nian.

I don't know if Jiang Nian knew that he was chasing after him, but he was almost trotting, but he was still a long way away from him.

"Huh? Your Highness, someone is chasing you..." Jing Ming noticed the movement behind her, and hurriedly said.

Jiang Nian didn't look back, and continued to walk forward, "Leave him alone."

"Oh." Jing Ming didn't accompany Jiang Nian to inspect the embankment during the day. He didn't know what happened during the day. He couldn't see who was coming from the distance. No one dares to make a mistake.

Just when Jing Ming was thinking this way, he suddenly found that his master was going farther and farther away, and he couldn't help but said worriedly: "Your Highness, this place is too secluded, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

Jiang Nian finally stopped and turned around, "There is nothing wrong."

Jing Ming turned her head back in horror, only to find that the man was still running towards this side just now, and he couldn't help but clenched the lantern in his hand tightly.

When the young man ran in front of them, he was a little out of breath and couldn't speak for a while.

Jing Ming almost couldn't hold the lantern in his hand, and exclaimed: "Lu... Lu... Mr. Lu? Are you dead? Why are you here! My Highness has no grievances or enmities with you, so don't come looking for me. he!"

Jiang Nian frowned and glanced at Jing Ming, "What are you making such a fuss about? Do you want to call everyone?"

The young man wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, panting, "Jing Ming, I'm not a ghost, I'm not dead."

This person is none other than Lu Ji, the only son of Lu Jiansheng, the Minister of War who should have been beheaded long ago.

Jing Ming picked up the lantern, walked boldly towards Lu Ji, held up the lantern to shine for a while, then reached out tremblingly to touch Lu Ji's chin.

After confirming the warm touch from his subordinates, Jing Ming happily said: "It's alive, it's alive, Your Highness, he's not a ghost."

Jiang Nian said angrily: "Okay, you go to a place far away and watch out for us. Brother Lu and I have something to talk about."

Although Jing Ming was a little confused, she generally understood the overall situation.A person who should have been ransacked and beheaded suddenly appeared on the Linzhao Riverbank, and his master seemed to have known about the existence of the other party for a long time, and mysteriously attracted people here. There must be some secrets to discuss.

As a loyal entourage, Jing Ming naturally wouldn't talk too much at this time, and obediently went to watch out for them.

After Lu Ji calmed down, he knelt down slowly towards Jiang Nian, and said firmly: "The guilty minister sees His Royal Highness, the Lu family is loyal to Daxing, and respects the former emperor from the bottom of their hearts. For those who have been wronged, please Your Royal Highness to uphold justice for my Lu family!"
