Chapter 1397 I want there to be no more rat thieves in this city
Xia Hongmo held Xia Baoer's hand angrily and walked ahead without saying a word.
At this moment, the little girl's dragon horns had also disappeared.
When I arrived at the door, I finally vaguely heard the sounds outside.
Eunuch Dequan stood guard at the door.
Seeing Xia Hongmo and Xia Baoer coming, he quickly went up to them with his hands in his arms.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Princess... Ouch!"
Before Eunuch Dequan finished speaking, he was kicked aside by Xia Hongmo.
Xia Baoer quickly stepped forward and helped Dequan up.
Dequan's first reaction was to kneel on the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I don't know what mistake I made!"
Xia Hongmo gritted his teeth and glared angrily: "I was almost eaten by a smelly rat in there. Where did all the people you escorted die!"
Dequan was startled and shouted that he was wronged: "Your Majesty clearly knows that this servant has been guarding the door and has not heard any sound at all!"
"Trash!" Xia Hongmo's overwhelming anger was directed at Dequan and the imperial guards.
Xia Baoer was afraid that his father would make an extreme decision in anger.
She had no choice but to offer words of comfort: "Dad, that Yuniang was transformed into a mouse spirit, so she would naturally use blinding techniques. No wonder Uncle Dequan is doing this."
Dequan was horrified: "Rat spirit!?"
Xia Hongmo didn't bother to explain, and directly waved his sleeves and angrily shouted: "Burn this place for me, call the Hugui army, and kill all the rats in the city. Whichever household has a good cat, I will be rewarded with ten taels." ! ”
"I want there to be no more rat thieves in this city!"
The Hugui Army is a strictly trained city defense team.
The original purpose of establishing it was to one day attack someone outside the imperial city gate.
Then, this team of more than a hundred people were the dead soldiers who protected the emperor from leaving safely.
Their existence is mysterious and obscure, and they will not show up unless absolutely necessary.
Now, he was ordered by the emperor to exterminate rats.
From Xia Hongmo's tone, Dequan could hear the gnashing hatred. After serving the emperor for many years, he knew that something must have angered the emperor.
So Dequan took the order in succession.
Xia Hongmo and Xia Baoer were sitting on the carriage, and the wheels of the carriage were turning rapidly.
The imperial guards opened the way in front of them in a mighty manner. Xia Hongmo sat next to Xia Baoer and remained silent.
The little girl turned her head slightly and saw her father, with a cold expression on his brows and tight lips.
Xia Baoer plucked up the courage to speak: "Dad..."
"Bao'er," Xia Hongmo interrupted her: "Daddy is very tired now and doesn't want to talk about anything else."
There was some faint sadness in Xia Baoer's eyes.
She could only nod obediently.
After returning to the palace, Xia Hongmo went directly to the imperial study and locked himself in the study on the grounds that he had to review the memorial.
The next day, the ministers were also rarely allowed to take a rest and did not go to court.
Everyone was talking about this, wondering why the emperor was in a bad mood.
All the cat owners in the city were very proud.
There are brave cat armies everywhere hunting rats. Once caught, someone will carry the cat to the government to receive the reward.
The four princes even took a quasi -business opportunity and began to do a business that cultivated cats who were good at catching mice.
Xia Baoer hasn't seen Gong Yufei for four or five days.
The smile on her face gradually diminished, and her fair and delicate face was occasionally filled with worry.
Concubine Hui saw her dilemma.
She held Xia Baoer's hand and gave her firm strength.
"Baoer, your dad takes a little time to accept you."
"But I think he loves you so much. If you try to explain it clearly to him, he will definitely listen."
