250. Chapter 250

Xiao Yan touched his nose, his slightly sickly face was quite innocent, and he couldn't help what Uncle Xiao ordered. Although he felt that Murong Qingran was cunning and ruthless, compared to the despicable and shameless old fox of Jiyang Hou Murong He, he would rather help this little fox of the Murong family, even if he always had a feeling that this favor would not end well, and in the end he would be eaten by this little fox, but the little uncle had given orders, how dare he not comply.

Bai Min twisted him with his hand and said in a low voice, "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." ”

It's rare for Bai Min to settle accounts with him, Xiao Yan has a hint of joy in his heart, he has been married for many years, Min'er has always ignored him, his wife is not a wife, he thinks about other men all day long, and his green hat is not an ordinary grievance. If you want to get angry with that person, he doesn't even have the right to meet that person's face, let alone beat him, and he can't beat him.

The boxes that were carried were carried in turn.

The guests present were surprised, what is the purpose of this, could it be that there is a mystery hidden in these boxes.

Because of the large number of these boxes, and they were all congratulatory gifts for Miss Five, the family guarding the door actually didn't have the courage to open them one by one to check them carefully, and after a brief look, they all put them in.

Xiao Yan walked over and stood in front of one of the boxes.

This box is filled with Longshan black pottery fired by the Xiao family, a set of study utensils, a set of washing utensils, and a set of tea utensils...... Xiao Yan familiarly took out a booklet hidden in the Longshan Black Pottery, and then, after looking at it, he handed it to Murong Qingran.

"In the second year of Shaosheng, the imperial court used troops to recruit 3,000 men from Qizhou. However, our Qizhou soldiers are lacking, and most of them are short and weak, three days before the recruitment deadline, Jiyang Hou and Zheng Daren tried their best to make up 800 people, and there was still a shortage of 200 people. Murong Qingran turned one of the pages and narrated it lightly, but Murong He and Lord Zheng's faces changed, there was indeed something wrong with the conscription that year, but fortunately, they were secretly suppressed in the end, and they were the only two of them who knew the specific reason for this matter. Although the recruitment of soldiers for the imperial court is also considered to be a bright and bright future, compared with other state capitals, Qizhou has too few strong men, and they cannot catch strong men from house to house, which will cause resentment among the people. Therefore, in order to complete the task of the imperial court, they had to think of a method.

Oh, so that's it. Mrs. Shen smiled in her heart, she had been sending people to investigate Murong He all these years, how could she let go of Shaosheng's second year of conscription.

Xiao Yan said deliberately, "You must be curious, how did the remaining two hundred people do it?" ”

The guests present finally understood that this Xiao Yan was not here to fight against him, but to oppose him.

Murong He said with a calm face, "This is a national matter, Second Prince Xiao, you are a businessman, and if you dare to ask about this matter again, don't blame Benhou for punishing you heavily with the laws of the imperial court!" ”

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although he is a businessman, but you should not interfere with the care of national affairs. The two hundred men who are missing, I hope that Jiyang will wait for you to tell you the truth, so as not to block the mouth of Youyou, and the people of Qizhou will talk about it, which will cause our land in Qizhou to be restless. In order to investigate this matter, he broke his leg and delayed so much business, Xiao Yan sighed, this deal, how can it be considered a loss.

Xiao Yan didn't take Murong He into his eyes at all, Murong He reprimanded, "Bold Xiao Yan, the government is doing things, why do you need to return to you as a little businessman, Ben Hou has already kindly persuaded you, if you violate it again, Ben Hou will ask Lord Zheng to invite you to Qizhou Prison for two days, and when you wake up, I will let you out." ”

Uncle Xiao, don't blame me, I have poor martial arts, and I have to protect Min'er, in case I anger Murong He, he will definitely not let me get out of this Jiyang Hou Mansion. Xiao Yan pretended to be afraid. "Jiyang waits for anger."

Since ancient times, the most mercenary and treacherous person was the merchant. Murong Qingran scolded Xiao Yan for being spineless, which was frightened by Murong He, she glanced at Xiao Yan coldly, and then said, "Uncle often says that the people are confused, and those who are officials have the responsibility to clarify it, but my uncle is old, I'm afraid he can't remember what happened back then, so it's better to ask Lord Zheng to tell us in detail, Lord Zheng, you are our parent official in the land of Qizhou, this matter is up to you to talk about it in detail, one is to solve the confusion of the people, and the other is to refute the rumors." I heard Xiao Ergongzi say that when the people outside talked about the events of the year, they all said that you colluded with my uncle to kidnap the men of a village, causing the wives of 200 families to be separated. ”

When did he tell her about this rumor, framed, pure and broken framed, Xiao Yan just used clever words to get out, and was dragged back by Murong Qingran, so angry that he scolded Murong Qingran in his heart for being insidious and cunning, more cunning than him, a businessman.

Murong He was blocked by Murong Qingran's words, and he didn't know how much he had collected in Murong Qingran's hand, because he was jealous, and for a while, he became jealous.

Lord Zheng was so scared that he was going to die, in order to show his merit to the imperial court, he obeyed Jiyang Hou's Jianyi, this matter, I thought that after so many years, no one found out, and it was calm, but I didn't expect it to be turned out by Miss Murong Wu again.

"After five years, the official can't remember, when the official returns home, someone will send the case file, and the official will inform you." Master Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It turns out that Master Zheng can't remember it, it just so happens that it is clearly recorded in my booklet, and this matter is all up to Xiao Ergongzi." Murong Qingran flipped through the booklet in his hand, and did not forget to continue to pull Xiao Yan into the water, things have come to this point, how can he let him escape lightly, even if he sends the Buddha, he has to send it to the west.

The booklet was collected by Xiao Yan for her, and she would not have this kind of opportunity to show her merits alone.

Murong Qingran told the truth very righteously, but Xiao Yan's eyes widened with anger, I really couldn't believe that there would be such a ruthless woman, good things would not think of him, now find someone to carry the black cauldron, and when she will lose her head later, she will push it all on him.

Vicious, Min'er is really too kind compared to her.

"Dye'er, show the booklet to your uncle. Steward, take it. Murong He was a little out of breath, and if he let Murong Qingran make trouble, he would only have to force him to make a decision.

Lu Fei threatened Chang Mao with a dagger, how could Chang Mao dare to snatch Murong Qingran's booklet, but when he saw Murong Qingran's eyes, he was relieved to snatch the booklet in Murong Qingran's hand and send it to Murong He.

Although Chang Mao took the booklet with Murong Qingran's permission, in the eyes of those present, it was Chang Mao who snatched the booklet from Murong Qingran's hand.

Isn't this an open robbery?

A few guests who already had prejudices against Jiyang Hou were angry, and they also firmly believed that the matter of the second year of Shaosheng was not so simple, Murong He, the reason of heaven is clear, and paper can't contain the fire.
