Chapter 56: Taking the Opportunity to Collect Money

With Granny Zhou guarding outside, Murong Qingran can study with peace of mind. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Once there is any trouble, Zhou Nanniang will think of various ways to remind Murong Qingran, and then, Murong Qingran will cleverly cover up the past.

If it's okay during the day, Qi Ke comes to teach Murong Qingran that Murong He allows, but at night, Qi Ke can only sneak in, usually at this time, Murong Qingran will ask Granny Zhou to prepare delicacies from the mountains and seas and wait for Qi Ke to come over and dine with her.

Qi Ke likes to eat meat, especially chicken thighs. After the two chicken legs were gnawed, Murong Qingran could almost reveal a lot of Qi Ke's secrets, such as the name Qi Chong'an was indeed true, for example, Qi Ke's last owner was indeed the Mizhou Xue family, for example, Qi Ke was born in a family, and it was also a well-known family......

In fact, from Qi Ke's conversation, Murong Qingran guessed that this Mr. Qi had an extraordinary background, and the knowledge he knew should not be under Du Changfeng. It's just that Du Changfeng bears the name of the son of the Du family, and he is the only son of Du Xijiu, and this glory is born with it.

In the past few days when Murong Qingran was studying hard, the gate of Qizhou was still closed.

All the officials of the Qizhou Prefecture were dispatched to search inside and out, but the assassin was still not caught.

At this time, the prefect of Zheng is in a hurry, he can't close the city gate every day and don't let the people in and out, it's okay for two days a day, but after a long time, the people gather, the people's hearts are floating, and something big will happen sooner or later.

For this reason, Governor Zheng went to the Jiyang Marquis Mansion every day, and asked Murong He for peace in the morning and evening.

Murong He saw Governor Zheng's bitter face, and scolded loudly, "A little thing is lying like this, the sky hasn't fallen yet, it's collapsed, and Ben Hou will bear it." ”

Governor Zheng said secretly, if it really collapses, the court will blame him, the prefect of Qizhou, not you, the Marquis of Jiyang.

"Master Hou, my Qizhou is a fortress going south and north, this city gate is not open, not only the merchants who come and go from the south to the north cannot pass, but even the disaster relief rice and grain sent by the imperial court cannot be transported out in time." Zheng Zhifu trembled and said, "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are serious, and the emperor has ordered my Qizhou Mansion to send 300,000 stone rice grains to Lin'an Mansion......"

Governor Zheng moved out of the emperor's edict, how dare Murong He disobey it again, but he was about to catch the assassin, and as soon as the city gate was opened, the assassin would be even more difficult to catch.

"How is the injury of the prince of Qi?" Murong He tried his best to suppress his anger and asked.

"It's fine. Hou Ye rest assured. "Delicious food and drink were served, and a few girls were sent over to serve, what was there to dislike about the prince of Qi, and the Zheng Governor followed Murong He step by step.

Murong He spared two laps in the study, held back his anger, and pretended to be righteous and said awe-inspiringly, "Hearing that the people of Jiangnan were affected, Ben Hou is also very sad, Lord Zheng, since this is the case, you should quickly send the 300,000 stone rice grain to Lin'an Mansion overnight, there must be no mistake." ”

"Yes, Master Hou." Governor Zheng responded respectfully on his face, but disdainfully said in his heart, Murong He, a villain, said nicely on his face, for the people for the common people, but taking advantage of the imperial court disaster relief, he actually ordered the collection of rice and grain from the people everywhere, filling his own pockets, and now, the people of the entire Qizhou are scolded as a corrupt official, but Murong He, a villain, is sitting on fame and fortune, and some wronged people ran to his Jiyang Marquis Mansion to stop the sedan chair to complain, so he returned the rice grain in a fake way, and also sent silver to the people, winning a good name.

Alas, God doesn't have long eyes, how can you let such a villain be a marquis.

Governor Zheng scolded Murong He thousands of times in his heart, but how could his small prefect be able to compete with the Jiyang Hou Mansion, which had been operating in Qizhou for several generations, if he wanted to be his Qizhou prefect steadily, without Jiyang Hou's support behind him, he would not be able to move an inch.

A strong dragon can't suppress the head snake.

The edict of the imperial court, as soon as it arrived in the land of Qilu, it was completely changed, it was good in Qizhou, but if it arrived in Qingzhou, it would be a piece of waste paper at all. As a result, a lot of things dragged on, and it was over.
