Lu Junqing glanced at him, thinking that his second brother was very promising, but it turned out that it was nothing more than that, and it was really a good idea to rely on his daughter to climb to the emperor.

He has seen the relationship between Guo Wenying and the emperor with his own eyes, and if there is anything he doesn't understand, he naturally can't ask others to rob his niece's favor. What's more, with Lu Yueying's appearance, temperament, and talent, even Wen Ying is not in tain, and he still wants to enter the harem to compete for favor, I don't know what he thinks about being a father?

I have the heart to ignore him, but after all, he is his younger brother, and if something really happens, the entire Lu family will be implicated.

He thought for a moment and said in a loud voice: "Wen Ying, come here, I have something to discuss with you." ”

He stood up as he spoke, and said to Lu Junyan, "Let's go to the study and talk about it." ”

Guo Wenying heard her uncle calling her, so she hurriedly walked over, saw them go to the study, and went out with them.

When I got outside, I asked in a low voice, "Uncle, but something happened?"

Lu Junqing sighed, "I'll talk about it later." ”

followed him into the study, and Lu Junyan saw Guo Wenying also coming in, and couldn't help but say, "Second brother, how can you talk to a girl about this kind of thing?"

Lu Junqing snorted coldly, "Do you think she is an ordinary girl? She is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and she is a third-grade person, half a grade higher than you." ”

Lu Junyan couldn't help but look Guo Wenying up and down a few times, and saw that she was generous, calm and steady, but different from ordinary women. When he went to Beijing, he heard that the emperor had appointed a woman as an official, but he didn't expect it to be his niece.

Lu Junqing said: "Tell me everything you know, don't hide it at this time, whether you are guilty or not, there is the emperor horizontally and vertically, there is Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether you can escape depends on whether your niece is willing to help with this." ”

When Lu Junyan heard this, he hurriedly waved at Guo Wenying, "Good boy, save your uncle." ”

Guo Wenying dared to accept his salute, dodged and asked, "What happened?"

Lu Junyan explained the cause and effect before and after, and said: "Maybe the officials in Zhejiang will jointly identify me and throw me out to take the blame." I'm afraid that it won't take two days to be arrested and brought to justice. My niece hurry up and think of a way. ”

Guo Wenying frowned when she heard this, this is indeed not a trivial matter, but it is not a matter of opinion, and she will not push anyone out if she wants to push it out.

She said: "Second uncle, you tell me the truth, how much can the salt tax come up in the end?"

"Seventy or eighty. ”

Guo Wenying's face was solemn, "I want to listen to the truth." ”

Lu Junyan felt his heart tremble inexplicably, the little beauty who was still delicate and pretty just now, as soon as she turned her face, she was full of anger, so frightened that his heart suddenly jumped, and it took a long time before he said: "At most, fifty percent, and some places can only collect thirty percent." ”

Guo Wenying's face sank suddenly, she didn't know that the salt tax had reached such a level. It's no wonder that the treasury can't collect the silver every year, and even Feng Jingting himself has to tighten his belt to get by, but he didn't expect that half of the tax revenue would go somewhere. When the first emperor was the emperor, the salt tax could not be collected, and later the third prince took charge of the salt tax, which was even more chaotic, and the country's money and grain went into the third master's personal pocket, and he himself was fat and oily, but the treasury was poor.

Since he was convicted of rebellion and was arrested everywhere, no one cares about this piece, and even if the emperor wants to rectify it, he doesn't know how to start.

At this time, I am afraid that the emperor really wants to kill chickens and monkeys, and he will do a big deal.

She thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Second uncle, it is impossible to keep you fine, at most to save your life, the emperor will save your life in front of me, but you are afraid that you will not be able to do it, and the silver taels that are greedy for ink must be handed back, there is no money, sell the house and sell the land." ”

Lu Junyan suddenly panicked, "Where can I get so much money?"

Guo Wenying took a deep breath, "If you listen to me, you will go to the criminal department to surrender yourself, and explain everything you can explain, you should admit what you have done, and you don't have to admit what you haven't done, I will save your life." If you don't listen, you can take responsibility for what happens. ”

Lu Junyan was anxious, "Good niece, what I listen to you is, I will turn myself in, and I will spend money to buy my life." ”

He didn't take it too seriously, the whole country is like this, all the taxes can't be collected, and there are a lot of cats in it. He didn't have a long time as a political envoy, and his understanding was not too deep, and he couldn't get into some networks. But because of this, others will throw him out at the first time of the accident. And at this point, he realized the seriousness of the matter, and if he didn't get it, he really died.

Guo Wenying's face had been sinking, and at this time, Mrs. Lu came in and said that there was a meal prepared in the front hall, and the old lady asked them to go over for dinner.

Lu Junqing stood up and told them to go to dinner, no matter what happened, he couldn't tell the old lady to wait.

At the dinner table, men and women sat in one place as usual, seeing that Lu Junqing's faces were gloomy and gloomy, the old lady was quite unhappy, and pushed her chopsticks down, "You guys, I am not welcome to this old man." ”

Lu Junqing hurriedly stood up, "Mother forgives her sins, where does the child dare, the child is eager for the mother to come." ”

"And who are you showing that face to?"

Lu Junqing wiped a handful on his face and forced a smile, "The child is just happy, so happy." ”

The old lady's face also drooped, "You're happy to still be like this, get out, you all get out, I don't like to see you, we all go out to eat, and it's happier to leave our mothers here." ”

"Yes, yes. Lu Junqing got busy and went out with a group of men.

The old lady's face looked better, so Guo Wenying and Lu Yueying sat next to her left and right, looking at the two beauties like flowers and jade, and her heart was much better.

She took Guo Wenying's hand, "Child, how old are you, but are you married?"

Guo Wenying nodded, "It's over twenty, and I just got married a few months ago." ”

The old lady suddenly became interested, "Which young master did you marry? Are you handsome? Bring it to me one day? If you are not handsome, you can't ask for it." ”

Guo Wenying said in her heart, I didn't expect that this grandmother was still from the appearance association, so she liked to be beautiful. However, Feng Jingting's appearance is really one of the best in Southern Qi, and there are really not many people who look better than him. It's a pity that it's not good to bring it to her.

She wanted to fool this matter, but she didn't expect this person to be really serious, she had to look at her husband, and asked what the person was from and what he did.

Mrs. Lu offended Long Yan by lifting the curtain on the carriage, and she also knew who Guo Wenying was marrying, she wanted to give two sentences, so she said: "Mother just came, and I have to get familiar with it slowly, Ying's girl is married, and her husband won't run away, don't be in a hurry, let's think about Ying's marriage first, and find her what kind of family." She said and said: "Mingyu will get married in two months, she is the young lady of the Chen family in the imperial history, her appearance and character are top-notch, and the two of them are talented and beautiful, so it is better for her mother to wait for Mingyu to get married before leaving." ”
