Sima Nan rubbed his hands and said: "Xia Guan naturally knows that the prince is fair and strict, but after all, the Cao family is a big landlord in Shangzhou, and when they had to dig rivers before, divert water into farmland, and dredge floods, if there was no Cao family to take the initiative to set an example, the farmers next to them would not respond so quickly, and they all agreed." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Mu Qin Yi snorted coldly, but asked Luo Ping to throw a shovel with silt standing at Sima Nan's feet, and said, "Since his Cao family said that there are precious flowers worth thousands of gold from his family under the ditch, then let him dig them himself." ”

Sima Nan's figure was plump, and a greasy face squeezed out a flattering and embarrassed smile at this time, as ugly as constipation, Mu Qinyi couldn't bear to look at it directly, Sima Nan bowed, he had received the Cao family's silver in his hand, so he naturally wanted to help the Cao family get things done, he stretched out his fat foot, kicked the shovel away, and stepped forward and said: " Lord Wang, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, you have been in the army for a long time, I am afraid that you don't know the market at this bottom, the so-called people's will, the people's will, if you don't make the biggest people happy, then ...... I'm afraid that something bad will happen in the future. ”

Sima Nan said extremely vaguely, he raised his eyebrows at Mu Qinyi, he had heard that this Mu Qinyi didn't like to be in the same league with others, but in this world, who would really have trouble with money? But if you can't get there, it must be that you haven't tasted the sweetness of money, the Cao family is a merchant from Shangzhou, all the way to the capital, the officials along the road are countless, this business road is naturally smooth, but the Cao family is still conscientious, this flower field is still located in Shangzhou, this tax, naturally there is also a part of Shangzhou.

"Oh, what's going to be bad?" Mu Qinyi's curious look immediately aroused Sima Nan's interest, he moved a chair and sat opposite Mu Qinyi, this is Mu Qinyi's study in Shangzhou, although the furnishings are not as good as Beijing, but it is already much better than the military camp outside the Saiwai, Mu Qinyi is content, but Sima Nan sat down, frowned and moved his buttocks, and moved again, as if he was disgusted with the wooden chair stabbing people, he simply sat for a small half, half of his fat buttocks were hanging outside, but his face was full of eyebrows and explained to Mu Qinyi: "The prince doesn't know? The fields around this are all the Cao family, no matter what the attitude of those ordinary farmers is, as long as Master Cao gives an order, it will all follow Master Cao, you say you, if you are against the Cao family, this Master Cao is unhappy, and the farmers below are also making trouble, and everyone pushes the mountain, this suffers a loss, has a bad reputation, isn't it still you, the prince?"

"Really?" Mu Qinyi looked shocked, "So powerful, then what kind of means or ability does this Cao Wanjin have to make these farmers bow down to him and be so loyal?"

Sima Nan rubbed his fingers and said: "Land rent, if they don't listen, Master Cao can adjust the high rent, who wants to be this up-and-coming bird?"

"Isn't there a stipulation on land rent in this Dashun law? How can Cao Wanjin just tune it up?" Mu Qinyi also turned his head over, his face was full of admiration and curiosity for Cao Wanjin, Sima Nan hurriedly said flatteringly: "Money can make ghosts grind, and gold can make officials close their eyes!" After that, he rubbed his index finger and thumb back and forth, and the corner of his mouth cracked a smile after the success of the traitor.

Mu Qinyi stared at him, didn't speak for a long time, and then a meaningful smile slowly bloomed on his face, Sima Nan thought that Mu Qinyi understood what he meant, and he was also sensible, and he laughed more and more happily, haha The laughter echoed in the study for a long time like a magic sound around the beam.

"Lord Yushi, did you hear clearly?" Mu Qinyi suddenly suppressed his smile, and from behind the screen, there was a person walking slowly, born with a decent color, upright, a goatee, raised his head slightly, and looked at Sima Nan with a smile.

Sima Nan's legs suddenly weakened, originally only half of his butt was next to the chair, and he fell off the chair at once, his trembling hand first pointed at Mu Qinyi, but then shrank back, and then pointed at the Lord Yushi, who had been hidden for a long time, and his throat choked.

Mu Qinyi didn't give him a chance to speak at all, just slightly sideways and Lord Yushi: "Shi Sima Nan, the governor of Fangcaishang, has already admitted the crime, crime one, collusion between officials and businessmen, nothing to do with the law, privately raising land rent, crime two, accepting bribes, uniting with Cao Wanjin to squeeze tenants, crime three, all the materials purchased from Cao Wanjin have earned kickbacks, which is not good for the people and disloyal to the country."

Sima Nan immediately explained: "On the third day, the lower officials did not admit it. ”

"Oh, then remove it for the time being," Mu Qinyi said lightly, "Luo Ping, you go and get a pot of charcoal, bring a soldering iron, and burn the iron to Sima Changshi with a beautiful plum blossom print ......." ”

"The lower official has been recruited, the lower official has been recruited. Before Mu Qinyi finished speaking, Sima Nan knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Mu Qinyi looked at the wall grass at first Sima Nan knew that he was not a loyal person, such a good person can also be the governor of a state, and this official position must also have moisture.

Sima Nan is not a loyal person, and the rest of the things Mu Qinyi believes that the people of Yushitai are enough to deal with, and after looking at the hour, the willow branches on the moon, the last thing in Shangzhou has also been solved, Luo Ping pushed Mu Qinyi to prepare to go back to the room to rest, and instructed with concern: "According to the instructions of the prince, the last general has already asked people to prepare the horses, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, and the prince will rest early tonight." ”

Mu Qinyi looked at the moon hanging in the west and was slightly stunned, the capital is in the west of Shangzhou, this round of the moon is really round and bright, I don't know if the people in the capital and the palace are also here to see the moon like him.

"Let's go tonight. Mu Qinyi commanded lightly, Luo Ping was slightly stunned, and confirmed: "Is the prince going to walk at night?" But the river is being dredged along the way, and the road is difficult, I'm afraid that the prince can't stand the bumps. ”

"Isn't there a Ten Thousand Flowers Party tomorrow?" Mu Qinyi stretched his waist, a trace of uninhibited and disdain flowed from his lazy face, he crossed his arms on the back of his head, and looked at the moon in the west again, "Since there is such a banquet, you can just go and join in the fun." He said as he knocked his hand on the wheelchair handrail, "Come to think of it, there should be a lot of interesting things happening." ”

In the early morning of the capital, there are early finches passing through the sky, the Suzaku Gate, which was originally full of birds, has become extremely lively today, and the outside is full of all kinds of gorgeous carriages, but all the young sons and brothers in Beijing who have some face have received Wu Zhaoyi's post, although Wu Zhaoyi is not the first person in the harem, but this banquet is the Queen Mother nodded, and Wu Zhaoyi was asked to do it behind her back.

A navy blue carriage stopped at the door, and the lord of Yunxi was wearing a rose-red round-necked narrow embroidered robe today, with a few double-strand gold hairpins on his head.

Before going out, the Duchess of Wuguo originally chose a wide-sleeved eighteen Hunan skirts for the lord of Yunxi, saying that such a big sleeve and color can make the woman appear more gentle and considerate, don't wear a narrow-sleeved robe every day because she learned to dance the sword, this ordinary woman sees a man she likes, in order to show her shyness, she can use this wide sleeve to cover half of her face, showing her eyebrows, how cute she is, saying that the lord of Yunxi is good, and she chooses to wear narrow sleeves on such an important occasion, how can this be covered?

The county lord of Yunxi was just thinking in his heart, anyway, the man he liked was far away in Shangzhou, and he couldn't see it, and he dressed up to show those stinky men who didn't know how to have fun, and it was also cheaper for them, Wu Zhaoyi's purpose of holding this banquet was very clear, that is, to choose a husband for the royal family and a few women from the clan, the county lord of Yunxi looked at it, looking at the ordinary people who were pressed behind him, and he was just disgusted in his heart, these people couldn't even compare to Prince Su's toes.

Wu Zhaoyi got up early, the person she sent yesterday was stopped outside by the eldest princess guarding Zixi Garden, but it was only half an hour before the banquet began, so she could come and see it, Wu Zhaoyi arrived at the door and just saw the eldest princess and Mu Chenghuang who had just come over.

The eldest princess is dressed in a lake blue palace dress, with a white embroidered shawl, as usual dignified and generous, gentle and decent, the eldest princess's dress and behavior have never been wrong, Wu Zhaoyi glanced up and down at Mu Chenghuang who was standing next to the eldest princess, and today she is also wearing a blue dress, although the clothes are half-old, but the color looks very comfortable, plus the few verdant jasper hairpins on the head, it sets off Mu Chenghuang's indescribable temperament, Mu Chenghuang was originally born beautiful, but now the delicate dress is also very temperamental, which belongs to the beauty that makes people want to see countless eyes at a glance。

"Cheng Huang is dressed very differently today," Wu Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Come to think of it, you must be able to choose a good husband." ”

"I don't have this plan," Mu Chenghuang also responded with a faint smile, "The Third Emperor Sister is ahead of Chenghuang, today, let's focus on the marriage of the Third Emperor Sister first, after all, the eldest royal sister has already married the British prince." ”

The corners of Wu Zhaoyi's mouth twitched slightly, she didn't know if the matter of the British prince was passed on by the big mouth around her, first now, the marriage between the eldest princess and the British princess is decided, and she has become a joke, Wu Zhaoyi just glanced at the door of the Zixi Garden, and she didn't believe it, the eldest princess didn't let herself go to the Cao family to enter the flowers, and this night, all the flowers in the Zixi Garden could be arranged.

When Wu Zhaoyi thought of this, there was a smug expression on his face, and he turned around and walked towards Zixi Garden, with the eldest princess and Mu Chenghuang following behind.
