After the court session, the two adults who were required to tour the north and south were taken away by His Royal Highness the Regent. They had to be punished for doing things for his little emperor. If they were those who planned to take advantage of the opportunity to embezzle, it would be better to kill them as soon as possible.

"Who goes to the south and who goes to the northwest?" His Royal Highness the Regent spoke so directly. These people were not his little emperor, so there was no need to give them a good face.

The two adults who were taken away by His Royal Highness the Regent looked ashen, and they thought that His Royal Highness the Regent was dissatisfied with their behavior in the morning court just now and was going to punish them. But judging from the situation, that shouldn't be the case?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the northwest." Song Lu secretly glanced at the face of His Royal Highness the Regent, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. With such an ugly face, do you want people to go or not?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the south." Li Huan gritted his teeth secretly. His only wish since he became an official was to solve the flooding problem in his hometown. Now that he has this opportunity, he is unwilling to give up even if the Regent blames him.

"Since you have accepted this task, then you should do it honestly for me. If I find out that you two are doing it half-heartedly..." His Royal Highness the Regent narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I will definitely make you regret coming to this world."

"..."

Li and Song both looked up at the Regent Prince who was speaking with astonishment on their faces. So, now they had misunderstood? The Regent Prince called them out not to blame them for taking on the job, but because he was worried that they wouldn't do a good job?

"Why are you looking at me?" His Royal Highness the Regent said coldly with a fierce face, "If you don't have enough silver, ask me for it. If you don't have enough food, ask those gentry who exploit the people in the village. Do you still need me to teach you these things?"

"No, no need." The two men quickly restrained their expressions and shook their hands to indicate that they could handle it. "Your humble servants will do their best to relieve the regent's worries."

"What does this have to do with me? You two are his majesty's subjects, not mine." His Royal Highness the Regent stared at the two men with dead eyes: "My lords, the mouth can cause disaster, so please be more careful with your words in the future."

"The Regent is right." The two were really frightened by the Regent. Now, whatever the Regent said was true. The two dared not speak any more. They had no idea what the Regent meant. It was best not to say anything and listen to the Regent.

"In the future, you must do everything His Majesty asks you to do. If you don't do it well, be careful of your heads." The regent left after finishing the conversation. Well, I have to go find his little emperor. I don't know if the little emperor misses me after being away for such a long time.

The two looked at each other after the Regent walked away. So, did the Regent really want them to do their job well?

"Master Li, this..." Song Lu's situation was similar to Li Huan's. The south was prone to flooding, and the northwest was prone to drought, so Song Lu dared to step forward and take on this matter at this time.

"The Regent has said that everything will be done according to His Majesty's orders." If Li Huan was unsure at first, now he felt reassured. Since the Regent said this, they could just go ahead and do it.
