Zhao Rui looked at Lord Zhang in front of him with an angry face, and his voice was deep: "That's all?" You're not going to be fooled, are you? Seventy thousand dollars a year?"

Lord Zhang, the head of the household, wiped the cold sweat on his face and replied in a low voice: "Yes, there have always been so many, at most the year before last...... Lakh. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This year, it is a little less, and it is said that it is a lack of revenue. The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he felt that it was a little less, but it was enough to think that the other places had collected a little more money this year than in previous years, and that the two were balanced. It's just that I never expected that Zhao Rui would stare at the details and look at it so carefully.

Zhao Rui had a gloomy face, drove Zhang Shangshu out, and sat alone for a while, always feeling that something was wrong. This Yunzhou is located in a developed agricultural area, with prosperous commerce and no natural and man-made disasters, how can it be such a large amount of silver for so many years? Even Ningzhou, before the floods last year, handed over 160,000 yuan in silver. You must know that no matter how you compare, this Yunzhou has thrown out a big chunk of Ningzhou in all aspects.

He sat in the imperial study for an afternoon, and finally at the end of the curtain, he summoned Lian Yun into the palace.

Lian Yun looked at Zhao Rui with a solemn face, and Zhao Yinghao, who came from front and back, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Rui stepped down from the bookcase, took out an account, handed it to the two of them, and said nothing.

The two glanced at each other, and both looked down carefully, and after reading it, Zhao Rui handed over another list and said, "Look at this!" ”

After reading it again, the two looked at each other, both looked at Zhao Rui, and Zhao Yinghao hesitated to speak: "Father, this is ......"

Zhao Rui nodded, and then became angry: "Check, check it for me." This Yunzhou felt that there was a problem early on. If I don't find out, I'm not reconciled. ”

took a breath, and then, his tone slowed down: "You two, discuss it carefully, what kind of manpower you need, just bring it up, I am here, and I should fully cooperate." Yun'er, what are you doing at hand for a while? Let's find out the matter in front of us with Hao'er first, and hurry up ......as soon as possible."

Looking at Zhao Rui's gloomy gaze, Lian Yun's heart was cold: Zhao Rui was angry. It seems that the treasury is already scarce. The last disaster relief had already made him very angry. Although later, the mobilization of businessmen to collectively raise donations can be regarded as overcoming this hurdle. However, it is not a long-term solution after all. Right now, there's more money to spend everywhere. Especially in the north, recently, the Xia State is ready to move again and is in urgent need of military resources. Calculating the time, that battle is also fast, three months at most......

Thinking of his promise to Mu Jin, he straightened his back, both public and private, he had to go all out to find out about this matter as soon as possible and end it before that battle.

Besides, this battle is costly, and it is necessary to ....... Silver, which was his initial conservative estimate.

He quickly estimated in his heart and raised his head: "Your Majesty!" The minister needs to send these men......"

Zhao Rui waved his hand: "I said it, and I made a list." Hao'er, what about you? ”

......

Zhao Yinghao and Zhao Lianyun walked out of the imperial study together, and walked silently, Yinghao spoke: "Go to me and sit there first?" ”

This is a big deal, and the two of them have to negotiate a charter. Lian Yun nodded, and the two whispered as they walked, gradually moving away.

Behind him, a figure flashed out behind a tall camellia, it was Zhao Yingming. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the two of them coming out of the imperial study, and he was about to say hello, but when he saw the two of them looking serious and talking in a low voice, he didn't see him, and went straight away.

Looking at the two people in the distance, he squinted, looked at the imperial study behind him, and walked quickly.

Lian Yun didn't go out of the palace gate until late at night.

Ma Yun'er was overjoyed when she saw Lian Yun coming, and she entertained him with good wine and food, and both of them drank a little bit warmly. At first, I didn't think that Lian Yun waved his hand and refused Yun'er's call to send him off, and walked out of the door by himself.

Who knows, this wine has stamina, and at this moment, the wine energy is all pouring up, and the footsteps can't help but be a little vain.

He squinted and whistled, and the blackhoof came running. He staggered and climbed up.

Ma Yun'er was not at ease, but still chased him out of the door, and saw that he had run away, so he had to shake his head, turned around and entered the door, called a palace guard, pointed in the direction of Lian Yun, told him to chase him, and told him to see him enter the door before returning.

The guard agreed.

She was reassured. Brother Yun's alcohol consumption is not good. Last time, I was drunk by my father and slept until dawn. The father shook his head and said, "Such a drink, hey."

Lian Yun let the black-hoofed horse spread its hooves and galloped, and he staggered around the horse's neck and dozed off from time to time.

In the silence of the night, there was no one on the street, only the sound of hooves was very clear.

Several black shadows were following behind him, and the blackhoof pony seemed to sense the danger, and suddenly quickened his pace and ran.

Lian Yun staggered on the horse's back, almost falling, and a spirit of excitement tightened the reins.

The blackhoof pony screamed, stopped, and spun in circles.

However, Lian Yun strangled the horse's reins and refused to let go.

Dark shadows quietly surrounded him, and in the night, a bright light flashed in his hands.

Lian Yun was patting the horse's neck and muttering kissingly: "Why are you in such a hurry?" It's really an acute sub. ”

Suddenly, the black hoof steal turned sharply in a large circle, he almost fell off the horse, and with his hands in his arms, he suddenly felt that his palms were sticky, and when he reached out to his nose and smelled it, a bloody breath rushed into his nose.

He was startled, and suddenly sobered up a little.

In the moonlight, a shadow was rushing over, and the steel knife in his hand was shining......

On the street, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and from far and near, a carriage was slowly approaching in the distance.

Several people accelerated their attack. Lian Yun hid on horseback, full of danger, and rushed out of the encirclement several times, but was surrounded again. He was already half-awake from his wine, but his hands and feet were weak and weak.

The blackhoof foal was also slippery, sweat mixed with blood and kept flowing down.

Lian Yun secretly complained in his heart......

The guard who had been following was anxious, looking at the people in the scuffle, he was obviously not an opponent, and he was hesitating whether to go back to move the rescuers, when he suddenly saw a carriage coming, and hurriedly hid to the side, and when he got closer, he saw a big logo on the canopy, and recognized it as the official's carriage. He was overjoyed, and hurried out and stopped him in the street.

Inside the car was Guan Yandong. He had just come back from Xiao Yifei and had drunk a lot of wine. At the moment, he was squinting in the car, and he heard the coachman's report, and he lifted the curtain and came out, and he heard that it was the guards in Zhao Yinghao's palace. Guards.

After hearing his words, the people had already rushed out, and the chief of the guard hurriedly followed.

Guan Yandong tore open a hole in a few clicks, and saw that Lian Yun's eyes were already blood-red and he was out of breath. Looking at his chaotic steps, it was obvious that he was drinking.

He cleared up, snatched the knife from the hand of a man in black, and turned to repel the two men who were pressing up. Back to back with Lian Yun, he turned around and waved his hand to the guard, signaling him to go back and move the rescuers.
