Texas Mansion

Ji Dong was very depressed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I waited hard for more than two months, but what I was waiting for was someone who wanted to kill me.

"Who's going to kill me?" Now Ji Dong looks like Shu Qi again.

Ji Wei glanced at the little girl sitting on the bed, "I don't know." ”

Ji Dong: ......

He followed Ji Wei's gaze, this child looks like this, who are her parents? Not only did the five princes want to know, but even Ji Dong himself was curious.

"Then how do you know someone is going to kill me?!" Ji Dong's voice sounded gloomy, and at this moment he had already passed several conspiracy theories in his mind.

Ji Wei bowed his head and was silent, he also heard about it by chance.

That day was Luo's sacrifice day, and at night, Ji Wei secretly carried a candle and incense paper, wanting to go to his mother's grave to pay respects.

No, as soon as he got close to the woods, he heard the conversation.

"The master told you to kill that child, so that the county lord in the Five Princes' Mansion is the real county lord." It was a rough voice that spoke.

"But Zhu Qiye..."Ji Wei heard it, this was the voice of the big boss Cao Guishan.

"What is Zhu Qi, Cao Guishan, do you want to worship the two masters!" The rough voice is very serious.

"The subordinates don't dare." Cao Guishan was directly frightened to his knees.

"It's good if you don't dare, otherwise... Hum. The threat in his rough voice was even stronger.

"Then, that Shu Qi..."Kill the child, what should Zhu Qi's people do?" In case Zhu Qi knows...

"Remove that person as well, and make it as if it was killed by the people of the five princes." Let them eat dogs, and the master will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Master, why does the master want..."The person who killed Zhu Qi? Aren't they a partnership?

"When will it be your turn to be the master!" The rough voice is already very impatient.

"The subordinates don't dare." Cao Guishan lowered his head in the bright shadow.

"Hmph, tell your people to clean up and don't leave trouble."

"Yes."

Ji Wei was scared into a cold sweat, does his village still have such a backstage? It's no wonder that the government is just acting on them on weekdays.

"You're in charge... How are you going to kill me? After Ji Dong heard this, he was not afraid, he now regretted that he escaped from Java in the first place, and being a slave was better than tying his life to his belt every day.

Ji Wei stretched out his little fingernail to Ji Dong, "This is a drug, they asked me to stun you, and after half an hour, they will come to kill you." ”

Ji Dongdun, these people quite look up to themselves.

"They know about our relationship?" Why didn't I send you?

Ji Wei's expression seemed to be about to cry, "They caught me eavesdropping..."

......

"Brother, you run away, go east, get on the boat in Jiaoao, if you take the main road, you will definitely be caught by them!"

Ji Dong stared at Ji Wei, "I'm leaving, what are you going to do?" ”

Ji Wei suddenly thought of the first time he went to rob, he refused to kill, so he was whipped dozens of times by the second master, if it weren't for his mother...

Ji Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, I just said that you drank the medicine, how do I know what happened later." With that, he put his little finger into the teapot.

Ji Dong: Who is worried about you. "When they come and find me gone, they won't let you go, or you can go with me."

Ji Wei shook his head, "Chun'er is still in the village." "Thinking of Ji Chun'er Ji Wei has a headache, now Ji Chun'er is no different from a bandit, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, killing people and setting fires is proficient in everything.

"You drank this tea." Ji Dong picked up the teapot and poured it into Ji Wei's mouth.

"Huh?" There's a drug here!

Ji Dongqiang poured it, and Ji Wei swallowed a few big mouthfuls.

"How?" It can't be poison, right?

Ji Wei shook his head, "It doesn't taste very good." ”

Let you taste tea? "Wait a little longer."

Ji Wei: ... Why should I save this thing.

"If you listen to it, you will say that you were forced to pour tea by me, and you don't know anything after that."

Ji Wei nodded, he seemed to be a little dizzy at this moment.

Ji Dong quickly took off Ji Wei's clothes, he wanted to give him his clothes, but after thinking about it, forget it, if he is regarded as himself, he will be miserable, and he will not freeze to death without clothes on this day.

"You..." Ji Wei wanted to say something, but his mouth and whole face began to disobey.

Ji Dong wrapped his clothes around the little girl, tied her tightly at the waist, and put on Ji Wei's coat and hat outside, blowing out the lamp.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at Ji Wei who was lying on the table, squeezed his shoulder, and muttered, "Thank you." ”

And then without stopping, he jumped out of the back window quickly.

Benxi County

Sven has also been depressed lately.

Since he took office, everything else has gone smoothly, but those two with stomachs, one account room and one master, always want to hold the official hostage.

At first, it was just a little ineffective, but gradually the two of them became more and more bold, and later, Sven seemed to be doing the same for the two of them!

Wu Qianqian's younger brother Wu Lian is now also helping Shi Wen manage the account room in the yamen, and seeing that the signs are wrong, he quietly said to his brother-in-law: "Since we took over the seal, it has been more than three months, and seeing that the autumn harvest is ahead, it is better to return their money to them and send people away as soon as possible, so as not to have a tired reputation, brother-in-law." ”

Shi Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said to Wu Lian: "I'm not busy, I have a reason." ”

In fact, Sven did this on purpose.

Since he took over the seal, he has given in to everything, made a good talk, and let the two of them behave in a nonsense, and when something happens one day, he will "deal with it impartially" and deal with the two of them again, or deport them to their hometowns, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

Not only do you not have to pay back the money of the two of them, but you can also leave a good reputation for nothing, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

This is the idea that Fan Dianguan gave to Shi Wen on the way to Benxi, and now he is the first person in front of Shi Wen.

As soon as Wu Lian left on his front foot, Jiang Zhennan, who was the master, came to Shi Wen to return to business.

It's still about the autumn harvest.

The northeastern region produces only one crop of rice a year, and the county's main source of finance is tax revenue and these grains.

There are few people in Benxi County, and most of the ethnic minorities living in the surrounding mountainous areas (privet, Mongolia, Korea, etc.), and the tax revenue is really small compared to the land south of the Yangtze River, and the rice in the northeast is of high quality and quality, so grain has become the main "outer block" income of the Yamen.

Jiang Zhennan wanted Shi Wen to underreport one-third of the grain, and he would find a way to smuggle it to the capital and sell it, so that...

Shi Wen sneered in his heart, the grain in the Northeast has always been highly valued, one-third? How dare you think about it!

"Master Jiang, Shi Mou just didn't hear this, don't say it again!" Shi Wen showed a "clean and honest" look, and the angry Jiang Zhennan brushed his sleeves away.

Shi Wen was not angry, and wrote an edict with a red pen, to the effect that if there were friends, officials, manuscripts, scribes, or other restless people who were swaggering, spreading rumors, or asking for food without permission, once verified, they would be severely punished, and they would never be lenient.

After this edict was posted, Shi Wen's official reputation increased unprecedentedly, only Jiang Zhennan, knowing that this edict was posted to himself, thought about it in his heart, and said to himself: He issued such an edict, it was clearly to beat me, and now he has won a good reputation, but he closed the door for me. First, I have cut off my way, and secondly, I want to use this clear name to manipulate us, hum, I want to be beautiful! Everyone eats when there is food, everyone is hungry without food, and I, Jiang, am not easy to mess with!

After making up his mind, after the Second Heaven was over, Shi Wen had just entered, and a group of clerks were about to retreat, Jiang Zhennan dragged his voice and shouted: "Everyone, slow down!" The lord has something to say. ”

As soon as they heard the master's words, the scribes hurriedly stood still.

Jiang Zhennan said: "My lord asked me to call you back, not for anything else, just because our lord has always been an upright official, sympathetic to the people, and never asked for a penny; Now you have also seen that the lord has opened the edict, and the regulations will be posted in a few days, and the first one is to pay the money and grain on the string (vouchers, documents) one by one, and it is not allowed to charge an extra cent; The second is that you clerks, except for the usual work and food, the master will give it to you, and you are not allowed to ask for a single penny! If you find out, you will be severely punished! Be careful, all of you! ”

After saying this, Jiang Zhennan went back to his room.

What does it mean to leave the scribes looking at each other?

Thirteen was to avoid Concubine Jiang Guifei, so he had to follow the five princes to the northeast to inspect.

The endless rice fields made Thirteen couldn't help but think of the sea in Jiaoao.

"Big brother, I'll train the navy for you in the future." Qinglan said that coastal defense is very important, and the gate of Dashun in the future is on the sea.

Li Desheng's eyes widened slightly, how could he think of Haiphong when he looked at the farmland.

"Big brother, if you don't speak, you should promise me."

Li Desheng looked at his younger brother who was smiling a little proudly, "What do you think about marriage?" ”

Thirteen suddenly collapsed, "Big brother, can you not mention marriage?" "He really doesn't want to get married right now.

"How can you not mention that the mother concubine declares that the foreign woman enters the palace every day."

Jiang Guifei's table has several portraits of the nobles in Beijing.

Thirteen was blocked and speechless, and said in his heart: The mother concubine is too idle.

There is no way, who calls there are only a few women in the palace, and Jiang Guifei is still the biggest. Emperor Jingtai doesn't go to the harem at all now, and he has no reason to fight.

"Because of Shu Qinglan?" Li Desheng suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made Thirteen and Eleven a little stunned.

"What does it have to do with her?" Thirteen turned his head, and Li Desheng found that the roots of his brother's ears were red.

Hehe, this kid.

"Shu Qinglan..."Li Desheng saw that although his younger brother had his back to him, his ears were high, "I don't even have the qualifications to be your side concubine." ”

Thirteen couldn't tell what it was like.

"Don't talk about the side concubine, it's the concubine..."Li Desheng felt a little cruel, but he was telling the truth.

Thirteen's heart returned, but it was filled with mud.

Being a concubine? It is impossible for Qinglan to be a concubine for herself, and Thirteen still has some self-confidence.

He once asked Qinglan what her dreams were.

"Dreams... I want to make Dashun a rich and powerful country, and the people have no worries about food and clothing, and turn Dashun into a place that the whole world yearns for. ”

Well, while other girls dreamed of marrying a golden beetle's husband and godson, Qinglan's dream was comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and even higher than her father's ideals.

Such a woman, will she be willing to rest in the back house and be a concubine who has nothing to do all day long?

Thirteen suddenly became desperate, the world may think that Qinglan's background is not worthy of him, but in the eyes of Thirteen, the person who is not worthy of that excellent woman is himself.

"It won't be Shu Qinglan... You're not uncommon, are you? Although Li Desheng's tone was teasing, his eyes were cold, why, Shu Qinglan still dared to look down on the Thirteen Princes?!

A face immediately appeared in Thirteen's mind, damn it, Lin Yinfei.

Xiaobao once inadvertently asked Qinglan, "Then what is there to see about Lin Yinfei, so that you can't take it anymore." ”

Thirteen really wanted to applaud Xiaobao, that is, a little white face.

Qinglan glanced at Xiaobao: "Superficial!" Everyone has a love for beauty, regardless of gender, young and old! ”

Xiaobao really wants to refute: Don't you look at beautiful men as superficial? But he didn't dare.

Alas... Thirteen was very melancholy, he didn't like the nobles in the capital, they were all like dummies, and he thought of living with such a person for decades to come... Thirteen suddenly got goosebumps.

"What, is it cold?"

The wind in the northeast is hard, even though it's almost July.

Thirteen shook his head, he missed Shu Qinglan, such a beautiful scenery, he wanted to share it with his friends.

"Let's go." Li Desheng has already seen what he wants to know.

"Brother, what if... What if—" Thirteen wanted to say and stopped.

Li Desheng stopped, "Hao'er, you are the prince." "You are one of the most honorable people in Dashun, everything you do represents the royal family and Dashun.

Thirteen was silent, he suddenly didn't dare to think about the days without Qinglan in the future, and he felt that it was difficult to breathe.

"Of course, if you want..."In Li Desheng's eyes, Shu Qinglan is just a woman, humble as an ant.

"Big brother," Thirteen interrupted his brother, "I see. "But I can't, I can't be so selfish.

If he cut off Qinglan's wings in order to be together, then he would rather let her fly.

Because Qinglan said: No freedom, rather death.

During the period when Pan Zexin was "unconscious" and "amnesia", Zhu Yuanfang built an ice crusher, and Qinglan and Zhu Yuanjin began to work on many matters in the dessert shop again.

The location of the store is on Bonham Street, a small two-story building with a back garden, all of which have been replaced with large glass windows at the top and bottom, and Qinglan named the dessert shop: Beautiful Time.

"Why isn't it called 'Sweet Time'?" Zhu Yuanjin actually recognized the "beautiful time" in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to ask.

"Sweet," Qinglan bit her lower lip, "Don't you think these two words are more suitable for couples than girlfriends?" ”

After listening to Qinglan a lot, Zhu Yuanjin has long been familiar with the meaning of "girlfriend".

"That's right." They just want to create an intimate space for girls to relax and have fun.

Beautiful time, may you be in the best years, amazing time, gentle years.

July 28, the first day of Belle Epoque's soft opening.

Unexpectedly, the first guest ushered in by Beautiful Times was Qu Wanying.

"What do you want to do?" Qinglan greeted her warmly, but she didn't want to be pulled straight to the toilet by Qu Wanying and plugged in the door.

Belch... You just came to the toilet on the way?

Qu Wanying looked at Qinglan with a good look.

Qinglan: Although my sister is good-looking, my sister likes men, and you, you don't have a chance.

Without waiting for Qinglan to speak, and without any foreshadowing, Qu Wanying asked directly: "Shu Qinglan, are you from modern times?" ”
