When he arrived at the west of Nanshan, Tianjia's jade mine was in front of him, and Zhou Xiao also looked at it casually and left, but Qingchen was still keenly aware that although the scale of Tianjia's jade mine was not as good as Xiaojia's jade mine, it was strictly managed, and the jade miners kept their positions and were well organized, which was not inferior to Xiaojia jade mine. Tianlei was also like Xiaoyao, and he took a look at Zhou Xiao at the entrance of the mine.

The next thing to go to is naturally the official mine, which is also the main purpose of the trip. Just two days ago, Qingchen had made a clause with Yin of Nanyang Mansion, just waiting for the arrival of the five thousand taels of silver from the Mo Mansion, and the official mine would be operated by the Mo Mansion. But along the way, Nanyang Mansion Yin's face turned pale, his feet trembled, and he seemed to be very uneasy.

As soon as I arrived at the mine, Qingchen obviously felt that the atmosphere was not right, the first two private mines, before I arrived at the door, I could hear the sound of mining inside, as well as the shouting of the miners, and this official mine, there was neither the sound of mining, nor the sound of shouting, the tools and gravel were scattered all over the place, and there were only a few people, although they were mining at the mouth of the mine, they were also powerless......

When Zhou Xiao saw this, his face turned pale, and he said to Yin of Nanyang Mansion: "Lord Liu, are you guilty?" ”

Nanyang Mansion Yin knelt on the ground with a "bang", and said in a trembling voice: "Guilty of despicable duty!" ”

In the past, people from Kyoto just went through the motions, and the jade mines paid tribute to some silver taels, and they returned to Beijing after a few days of play. And this time it was King Yong, Nanyang didn't get the news in advance, this King Yong was an impatient son, he came to inspect the mine just two days ago, and he was caught off guard. As for the few people at the door, he hired them to pretend temporarily.

Qingchen also frowned at a glance, it seems that the annual income of 8,000 taels of silver is also falsely reported, and it seems that it will take some thought to run this official mine well.

Back to the palace, Zhou Xiao immediately repaired the book and reported to Kyoto, the next day, Kyoto came to the eternal emperor's edict, Nanyang Mansion Yin dismissed the post of investigation, the post of Mansion Yin was directly assigned by Kyoto, and the newly appointed Mansion Yin also arrived with the emperor's edict, which could not help but sigh the efficiency of the ancients.

What Qingchen didn't expect was that this newcomer was actually Qingchen's old acquaintance: Fu Tianling.

As soon as Fu Tianling arrived at the palace, he came to see Zhou Xiao, and Qingchen was being captured by Zhou Xiao to cultivate a relationship with Xu'er. When Fu Tianling saw Qingchen, he was stunned at first, and then hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that Miss An is also here, Tianling is reasonable." ”

Qingchen hurriedly said: "General Fu doesn't have to be polite, it's great that you can come to Nanyang to serve as Fu Yin!" ”

Zhou Xiao also said: "General Fu is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, it seems that the position of Yin of Nanyang Mansion, my father and emperor have indeed thought it through. It's just that General Fu still needs to be cautious, although the place in Nanyang is small, the situation is complicated, and the joints are intertwined, and they need to be slowly straightened out. ”

Fu Tianling clenched his fists and said: "King Yong, rest assured, the last general will do his best to do what should be done, and manage the people who should be in charge!" ”

It seems that Fu Tianling is an understanding person, Zhou Xiao nodded and said: "General Fu is tired today, please go down to rest first, and then go to the mansion tomorrow to take office." ”

As soon as Fu Tianling stepped back, someone came to report that Old Man Han had woken up.

Qingchen was overjoyed, called the nurse, hugged Xu'er down, and said to Zhou Xiao: "I'll take a look!" ”

Zhou Xiao said: "This king walks with you." ”

So the two came all the way to Lanyuan, Huang Xianzu was feeding water to Old Man Han, and when he saw Zhou Xiao and Qingchen coming together, he immediately knelt down and said: "Meet His Royal Highness King Yong, Miss!" ”

Qingchen was speechless, this Huang Xianzu, everything else is good, but the etiquette is too thoughtful, how many times have I seen Zhou Xiao, and I have to kneel down to worship when I return.

When Old Man Han saw Qingchen, he was busy crawling under the bed, and said as he crawled: "Old Man Han, thank you for saving the girl." ”

Qingchen grabbed him and said, "Uncle Han doesn't need to be polite, the top priority is to tell us Miss Han's physical characteristics, where she is imprisoned, we can also try to rescue her." ”

"My son Xiangxiang, seventeen years old, about the same height as the young lady, there is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, Tianlei placed her in the West Garden, and there is no one to guard on weekdays, only there are guards at the gate of the West Garden, and there is a little girl to take care of the living." Then, he said: "Please Miss save my family Xiangxiang, that day Lei already has seven concubines, my family Xiangxiang has a weak personality, and she is frail and sick, I am really afraid of ......"

Qingchen hurriedly said: "Uncle Han, please relax, we will definitely try to rescue Miss Han." ”

Zhou Xiao pondered for a while, and said: "The king of tomorrow is going to Tianfu for a banquet, you write a note and let her enjoy the flowers at the gate of Xiyuan at noon tomorrow." ”

Qingchen glanced at Zhou Xiao strangely and said, "You let her enjoy the flowers at the door, can you still rob people?" ”

Zhou Xiao replied: "Do you think anyone is as reckless as you!" Does this king still need to rob people? ”

Qingchen thought about it, he is the emperor's own son, and the whole world belongs to his family, what is it if he wants a person. So he obediently Di'an told him to do it.

Old man Han thanked the two of them for their kindness, "Two benefactors, I, Old Man Han, have nothing to repay the kindness of the two, and I will make a cow and a horse to repay the two in the next life." ”

Qingchen replied: "Uncle Han doesn't have to be like this, the little woman also has something to ask for." ”

"Miss has something, even if she tells her, why should she ask for it."

Qingchen pointed to Huang Xianzu beside him and said, "Can Uncle Han teach me the method of identifying jade from this entourage?" ”

"What's so difficult about this, Han Lao'er will definitely teach this little brother everything he knows all his life."

Huang Xianzu was shocked in his heart, Miss actually wanted Old Man Han to teach him the method of knowing jade, and said gratefully: "Miss, Xianzu must study hard and live up to Miss, Uncle Han's expectations." ”

On the second day, Zhou Xiao was invited to Tianfu for a banquet, Fu Tianling was also invited, after three rounds of wine, Zhou Xiao mentioned yì to visit the mansion of the heavenly family, Tianlei readily agreed, and officials of all sizes accompanied him.

Walking and walking, everyone came to the West Garden. Han Xiangxiang was enjoying the flowers at the gate of the West Garden at this time, although Tianlei forbade her to walk around, but she could still walk around with her in the West Garden, Zhou Xiao had already sent someone to send Han Xiangxiang's handwriting to Han Xiangxiang last night, she had already heard about her father being rescued, and she was secretly happy in her heart. Yesterday I received my father's handwriting, and I was even more ecstatic, so I freshened up early this morning, and came to the door early to enjoy the flowers, because of the happy mood, my face was more bright and shining than usual, and the cinnabar between my foreheads was more bright red......

Zhou Xiao walked to the gate of Xiyuan, and saw a woman standing at the door, with a cinnabar between her eyebrows, and suddenly paused, and said: "I didn't expect that Tianfu is not only beautiful, but this beauty is even more beautiful!" ”

When Tianlei saw Han Xiangxiang, he was suspicious, and when he saw Zhou Xiao say this, he had to say ruthlessly: "This girl is just a maid in the house, if the prince likes it, the villain will ask someone to send it to the prince's palace today......"

"Oh? Isn't this king beloved? ”

"As long as the prince likes it, let alone a mere maidservant, if you want the daughter of a villain, it is also the honor of the villain, and it is the honor of my heaven!"

Zhou Xiao didn't say anything, and walked away laughing.

Tianlei gritted his teeth and ordered someone to send Han Xiangxiang to the palace.
