Transmigrated into the prince's only daughter, and beat up the dignitaries in the capital with

Chapter 493: Hit Gently~ (2 chapters combined into 1 chapter)

The personal guards, who had been trained in the army, were ruthless in their attacks. They separated the common people from the main gate of the Ministry of Personnel. Anyone who came forward would be pushed to sit on the bluestone road.

The man was naturally indignant after being pushed down. He opened his mouth to say something unpleasant, but was frightened by the knife in the hand of his personal soldier.

Even the officials from the Ministry of Personnel who had originally come out to deal with the people shrank their necks.

These people didn't pay attention to who was standing behind them, but they saw it!

How did this idiot come to the Ministry of Personnel?

But think about it, Song Shen is the son of the princess, and is naturally a relative of this person, so it is normal for him to come and support him on his first day in office.

The officials immediately went down the steps to greet the little girl...

Jiang An, who was in the distance, did not dismount. He waved at the two officials, indicating that they should not make a fuss.

She's also planning to catch mice...

Seeing that the noise of the crowd was getting quieter and quieter, the people who were secretly plotting evil would not let the situation just die down.

Someone behind the crowd shouted, "So what if the soldiers are here? We haven't violated any of the laws of Southern Business. Do they dare to attack us?"

A mouse...

"That's right!"

"As students of Nanshang University, why can't we ask for an explanation? What's wrong with him being a son of a wealthy family? How can he become a minister at such a young age? What right does he have?!"

"Why!"

Two...three...

Jiang An let these people shout, and walked forward with the whip clenched in his hand.

In the originally excited and noisy crowd, only the sound of whips breaking through the air and the sound of flesh being torn apart could be heard...

"what!"

The man who started the trouble first was whipped by Jiang An with a horsewhip and rolled on the ground.

"Who is she..."

"County Lady, it's the County Lady!"

"Run!"

But as soon as they turned around, they were blocked by the personal guards.

Some of the people looked terrified, while others were filled with awe.

The whip in Jiang An's hand was dripping with blood. She was dressed in a dark gold outfit, and there were a group of ferocious guards behind her, which made her look very oppressive.

The girl pointed at a few people with the whip in her hand, and immediately her subordinates rushed into the crowd and arrested them.

"How do we catch people..."

The students don’t understand.

Wasn't it said that the county chief had no unjust cases under his command, and that Kyoto had been much cleaner during his two months in office?

Now looking at this domineering attitude of arresting people whenever he wants, it doesn't seem like he is doing it for the country and the people...

"The appointment of the Minister is a royal decree, and it is legitimate. You were instigated by the villains to block the entrance of the Ministry of Personnel and make a lot of noise. Are you dissatisfied with the decision of His Majesty?"

Jiang An said sternly, his eyes sweeping across the crowd with coldness.

These students are all from poor families, small figures of this era, and the one they are most powerless to resist is the overwhelming power.

Most people are silent and afraid to speak...

But there are also smart and courageous ones among them.

They stared at Jiang An on horseback with their fearless eyes. "Even if it is appointed by the imperial decree, this person should be a capable person who deserves to be the mentor of all students in the world!"

Prime Minister Xie's father, also known as Old Tutor Xie, was able to gain worldwide fame and respect from scholars all over the world because he rose to prominence when he was an official in the Ministry of Personnel.

"Just because Young Master Song is a descendant of the royal family and a person of power, we cannot make a joke of handing over such an important imperial examination to him!"

Jiang An looked at the students who were talking with great interest, and he didn't seem angry at all.

It seems like... I'm quite happy?

"well said!"

The little girl smiled and praised the man directly in front of everyone on the street.

Coincidentally, the carriage from the Duke of Song's Mansion also arrived at this time.

The new minister Song Shen, who was the topic of everyone's conversation, was wearing a scarlet official robe and an official hat. He just stood quietly in front of the carriage, looking at Jiang An, who was as dazzling as a star.

"Students are not afraid of power, speak their mind, and are happy to repay kindness and revenge. This is what a good student of Nanshang should be like!"

"But what you said... the powerful are playing with their power and treating the imperial examination as a joke..."

"Do you think Song Shen is a man of bad character and bad deeds, and is unworthy of being an official? Or do you think that a noble family's son is too rich to bear such a heavy responsibility?"

The student asked, "What is the difference between the two?"

There weren't many dandies raised in high-ranking families? What's more, he was a descendant of the royal family and the only son of the princess, so he was praised to the top of the world!

"Of course there is a difference!"

"The former has bad conduct. No matter how talented he is, he is not worthy of being called a mentor to all the students in the world!"

"the latter…"

"If students say that no talent can be born in the homes of princes and nobles, that is prejudice!"

"I have been the Minister of Justice for more than two months. I am the only daughter of the Zhenguo Palace and a county lady appointed by the emperor himself!"

Jiang An was dressed in a noble manner, and her eyes were full of pride when she mentioned the palace. At this moment, she was extremely dazzling.

"Students may wish to wait a while. If he really has no achievements after taking office and is an utter idiot, then you can come to the Ministry of Personnel... No!"

The little girl dismounted and said in a loud voice, "I will personally take you to see His Majesty!"

"how?"

"Is this true?"

The student's eyes were burning. "Will the county lady really take the risk of being charged with disrespect and bring a student to the palace to file a complaint? Aren't you afraid that my behavior in front of the emperor will be compromised and bring trouble to the county lady?"

Jiang An smiled, his smile full of boldness, "Of course I take it seriously..."

There is the charm of youth in her eyes, just like these green branches, full of vitality.

The little girl spoke in a pampered tone, "Your Majesty is my uncle, and the Prince of Zhenguo is my father. What is there for me to be afraid of?"

"what…"

Song Shen, who was not far away, couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

It was the first time he had seen someone say such a thing so openly.

"This county lady... is a little too arrogant..."

The servant from the Duke of Song's mansion muttered something behind the young master.

She is just a county lady, not a princess...

Even Princess Nan Shang was not so spoiled and domineering.

"Shut up!"

Song Shen scolded in a low voice.

"You can't discuss the county lord of a country."

"Besides, An An is now supporting the reputation of His Majesty and the Princess's Mansion. You have no right to comment on her!"

The servant said: "I spoke without thinking, please forgive me, sir..."

Song Shenjun's face was slightly cold, "I've returned home to accept the punishment."

"Yes…"

At this moment, at the entrance of the Ministry of Personnel, the resentment in the students' hearts had been completely dissipated by Jiang An's words.

Now that there is no emotion, everyone has realized that something is wrong.

Someone pointed at the people who were tied up and asked, "Does the county lady mean... that these people are the instigators?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became noisy.

"No wonder he always shouts a few times at the beginning. I thought this student was a righteous man!"

"Pooh!"

The students turned their spearheads around and looked at the man captured by the guards with ferocious looks, which frightened the experienced guards.

In this weird atmosphere, someone's boot flew up and hit someone in the face.

"Hit them!"

Jiang An was startled, "Hey...Hey!"

"Gently! Hit me gently...ah no...stop it!"

I still need to review it!

The person has to be sober before she can interrogate him!

Otherwise, how can this crime be pressed up?

After finally pulling the students apart, Jiang An took a look from afar...

Tsk tsk, his face and nose are bruised.

There was a shoe print on his face, whose name it belonged to~

"cough…"

Jiang An suppressed the corners of his mouth that were curled up, "Send him to the Dali Temple for interrogation."

After the crowd dispersed, Song Shencai walked forward.

Under the Ministry of Personnel plaque, he was dressed in an official robe and was humble and polite yet distant. "Thank you, County Lord."

The little girl waved her hand casually, "You don't have to thank me. I did this not just for Minister Song."

Song Shen was surprised at her frankness, "No wonder Jiang Ling wrote to me praising the county lady so much..."

"Him? Praising me?"

Jiang An quickly shook his head, no need for that!

In the past month or two, she finally understood how her father felt after seeing her get into trouble.

The little girl shed bitter tears in her heart for herself and her father.

Song Shen half-jokingly said, "I have been traveling these days and have heard a lot about what happened in Kyoto. The county lady has worked hard..."

Jiang An: "It's quite hard~"

She urged Song Shen, "Let's go, Minister Song."

After all, she came here with a mission. If she doesn't send the person to the Ministry of Personnel to take up the post, she can't go to the next one.

The internal structure of the Ministry of Personnel is actually not much different from that of the Ministry of Justice, except that there are all kinds of exquisite objects everywhere in the Ministry of Personnel.

For example, the bamboo planted in the courtyard under the corridor symbolizes rising step by step; the colored glaze horse stepping on flying swallow is placed next to the attic window; even the flowers and plants planted in the back garden are all based on the I Ching hexagrams set by the masters...

It’s really... every detail is exquisite.

Even the young masters from the princess's mansion were shocked.

Song Shen asked the official leading the way, "Is this the arrangement of the previous minister?"

"Not entirely. Many of these items have been there for a long time, older than us officials."

When the Shangshu took office, he was accompanied by the county lord, whom everyone in the capital had recently avoided. All the officials in the Ministry of Personnel who were in office came to the meeting hall of the main courtyard to pay their respects.

The official greeted him, and Song Shen humbly returned the greeting.

He looked at the familiar faces at the bottom of the stairs.

He knew most of these people, but in the past they respected their mother and loved her family as well.

Now it’s different…

After seeing the different expressions of the crowd, Song Shen slowly spoke, "I have never been involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, and it is the time of the imperial examination, so I am very busy..."

"Now that I am in charge of everything, if there is any mishandling of official business or something you are not familiar with, you can all come and let me know."

"I and all of you should encourage each other to make this autumn examination a success."

After saying these polite words, Song Shen's expression suddenly changed, and he changed the subject, "But I still need to make it clear to you all in advance..."

"Although I am not familiar with official duties, I am still your superior after all. I am welcome to give you corrections. You can do so in private. If you take advantage of your seniority and commit crimes against your superiors, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"The Ministry of Personnel must be as strict as a hammer to get the job done. What do you think?"

The officials lowered their heads and listened to the lecture. After Song Shen finished speaking, those officials who had some small thoughts in mind also put them away.

I thought the guy in the princess's mansion was easy to talk to, but I didn't expect he was a man with some tricks.

But it's not surprising, after all, this is a child raised by Princess Nanshang herself...

Everyone said in unison: "We will naturally obey the orders of the Shangshu."

The little girl watched the whole process from the side, and only spoke to Song Shen after the officials dispersed.

She joked: "I didn't expect that our gentle and elegant Mr. Song is actually so powerful~"

There was helplessness in Song Shen's eyes. He entered the conference room and sat in the first seat with Jiang An.

"I am your brother after all, please give me some face..."

"If I'm too modest and docile, they might eat me up!"

Jiang An fiddled with the teacup with his fingertips. "If they bully you, go home and ask your aunt to take charge."

Song Shen choked on his tea and the tips of his ears turned red.

Looking at Jiang An as if he were looking at a childish little kid, he said seriously: "Now that I have established my career, how can I trouble my mother with everything?"

"OK…"

"Anyway, you are in charge of the Ministry of Personnel now, so you have the final say~"

"In a few days, the wives of Marquis Dingyuan's Mansion and several other Marquis' Mansions and General's Mansions will organize a poetry gathering. You can't refuse."

Seeing that Song Shen was about to refute, Jiang An said, "This is what your majesty meant."

"Although I persuaded the students to leave the Ministry of Personnel today, they still feel unfair in their hearts..."

"Show your face more often and let them see the appearance and talent of our Minister Song."

This sounds like what a brothel owner would say to a new girl.

"Do you have any calligraphy works you wrote in the past?"

Song Shen didn't understand what the little girl was going to do, but he still answered subconsciously: "Yes."

"Then tell the family, and I'll send someone to get it later..."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Song Shen also stood up, "So urgent? I wanted to invite the county lady and Jiang Ling to have dinner together..."

Jiang An walked out with big strides, leaving Song Shen with only his blurry back reflected by the sunlight.

"I won't eat. There's still work waiting for me at the Ministry of Justice."

Of course she was lying.

Now that the Ministry of Justice has Minister Li working hard to govern the country, she feels a lot more relaxed.

The little girl is in a hurry to build momentum for Song Shen!

If Prime Minister Xie could think of using rumors to discredit these three and her, then Jiang An could naturally use rumors to build momentum for them three!

The devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher. Let’s fight!

After leaving the Ministry of Personnel, Jiang An saw his subordinate who had just gone out to get information.

"Miss…"

The little girl didn't take the reins from Zhengyan's hand, and led the huge group of people on foot.

"What did you find out?"

"I went to find the secret group. The Haoke Building originally belonged to the Second Prince. They sold information to make money and raise troops. After the Second Prince died, the store was bought by the Ma family in Kyoto."

"Ma family..."

Jiang An thought about it carefully and it seemed that she had never heard of this family.

"The Ma family is a relative of the Xie family's side branch. Ma gave birth to a son and a daughter. Now the daughter is in the harem and is the biological mother of the fourth prince."

After going around in circles, it turns out that the store has fallen into the hands of another prince.

“What does he want this store for?”

"I don't know about this either."

But there are only two options: money... or power.

This store is owned by the Fourth Prince, and now the Fourth Prince is being kept by the Queen. Logically speaking, they are in the same group, so there is no reason why Xies would not know about the existence of this store.

But he took money to buy off the rumor...

Jiang An's eyes flashed with sarcasm. This fourth prince wasn't that obedient.
