"I said, I'm not who you said I was. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" His voice became colder and colder, as if cold frost hit Yang Duanwu's face, "If you want to avoid the pursuit of these black-clothed people, I advise you, leave quickly." While they are unconscious, leave. ”

A hint of desolation flashed in Yang Duanwu's delicate eyes, "Since you said that you are not Brother Chongyang, then, why did you save me?" ”

The back was still straight, under the desolate sky, the cold wind blew his beige hairband lightly, and in the place where he couldn't see the Dragon Boat Festival, his eyes flashed like stars.

"What I sent them out was ecstasy. But after three hours, they will wake up. You'd better leave now, so they won't be able to catch up with you when they wake up. You'd better take the big road, because they expected you to take the small road, so they set up an ambush on the path. With that, he slowly pushed the wheelchair forward.

The Dragon Boat Festival was about to chase after her, and suddenly, a pill hit her feet gently, and she fell to the ground.

"Don't chase me, there is no fate between you and me, and we don't need to see each other again." In the autumn wind, his sharp back and his ruthless words pierced her heart like a knife.

"You can't go." As if to grasp the last bit of hope, a little light, she didn't care about the pain in her feet, and got up and chased after her.

"Smack!" Another pill!

She fell, but, got up, and chased again.

He seemed to be pushing the wheelchair slowly, but, quickly, his back grew smaller and smaller until it became a dot, until, vanished.

Under the dark blue sky, there was no one but her and the cold wind.

even made her think that the person who appeared just now was not a hallucination.

However, the man in black lying everywhere still made her firmly believe that everything that happened just now was true, true!

"Brother Chongyang, why did you show up, but you refused to recognize me, why-" Dragon Boat Festival confirmed that the wheelchair boy just now was Ni Chongyang.

After being married to him for a few years, it is impossible for her not to even hear the voice of the person next to her pillow.

However, it is clear that he is still alive, and he has been following her and saving her, why, when he saw her, he didn't recognize her, and he said things like that, hurting her-

There are too many questions, tangled in her heart.

The moon in the sky is getting brighter and brighter.

After three hours, the man in black will wake up, so she must get out of here immediately.

Since Brother Chongyang is still alive, she can't help but return to Qinghe County first and slowly look for him.

She seemed to be more confident in the future, even if he hurt her, he was still alive.

He is still there, then, her life is still bright.

She wasn't even afraid of getting dark.

She cleaned up a bit, saw the few men in black who fell to the ground, dug into them, and found a token, which was the token of the canopy dart bureau.

"Bring the token back and ask Hades to see what he can explain!" Dragon Boat Festival said.

Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival took away all the silver on the man in black, and there seemed to be a few horses in front of the door.

It seems that these men in black still came on horseback.

The Dragon Boat Festival picked a good brown horse, jumped on it, and "drove -" towards the city gate, towards Qinghe County, and towards hope.

In the Metropolitan Courtyard, the autumn wind rises.

A few minions were sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, and when they saw the cook walking over with the food box in person, they sneered: "Do you know that we Zhou adults have to eat noodles every day, yesterday it was Yangchun noodles, and today it must be seafood noodles." If you don't want any good cooks, you just want a noodle cook. Every time, when the noodles are cooked, the cook has to send them over himself, so that he can eat them with confidence. ”

"Yes! I've never seen such a poor master. Another casually chimed in, "Not only for himself, but also for us, and there has never been a reward, and even if we are asked to buy a charcoal fire, we have to pay for our own journey." ”

"Yes! Why do we have such a master, it seems that there is no hope for us to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law in this life. ”

And Zhou Xingxing, who was reading the copywriting in the study, didn't hear these discussions at all.

Or it doesn't matter if he hears it, in his eyes, it is enough to give his subordinates a monthly example, and the extra reward is a private embezzlement of public money for personal gain, and he never does such a thing.

After almost a month of tax reform and taxation, the treasury has been much more abundant. Ordinary courtiers did not dare to make a mistake during the first tax reform, and they all obediently filed and paid taxes according to the truth.

But there is still a minister who ignores Zhou Xingxing at all, and still pays taxes according to the original thirty.

That person is Sun Huo, the second-rank general of the border guards. Zhou Xingxing frowned.

Sun Huo was too far away, and Zhou Xingxing didn't want to move him for the time being, but at the moment, there was one more thing that he was in a hurry to solve.

Yang Kang is here.

"I heard, you have something important to ask me for?" Yang Kang knew that Zhou Xingxing was very unsophisticated, even for Yang Kang, a benefactor, he was very casual, and if there was an emergency, he would directly send his subordinates to inform Yang Kang to come over, and he didn't think about reporting in person.

Yang Kang knew that Zhou Xingxing was a talented person, so he didn't pay attention to some of his minor character flaws. Besides, in a sense, this is Zhou Xingxing's advantage, casual, unsympathetic, and not suitable for dealing with people, such a person is the most suitable to be an inspector.

Zhou Xingxing got up and saluted, and said straight to the point: "What I'm most worried about right now is that this time they will pay their taxes truthfully, but next time, next time, they will secretly report and omit reports." ”

"I've also worked out some ways to do this. This time, after all, it was me and Mu Feng who went to check the taxes in person, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, but we can't do it ourselves every time, so I found a few talents from the people this time, which is not bad, after a month of training, they can now take up their posts, and I have asked them to report to the household department. Let them check the taxes, and it is still reassuring in the short term. Yang Kang said, "Besides, Mu Feng is the household department, and he will do the final supervision." ”

"That's good." Zhou Xingxing said, his tone was not modest at all, "It is best to let the people in the household department recruit people frequently, and the people who check taxes must be changed frequently." It can't always be those few people. ”

Yang Kang agrees with this.

If the tax inspector and the tax subject have known each other for a long time, they will form a kind of human affection, and it is very easy for the tax inspector to accept the gift of the tax respondent, which will lead to corruption. However, if the person who audits the tax is often replaced, then the person being audited will not think of bribing the person who audits the tax. Because, even if they are omitted this time, but next time it is another tax inspector, they can't give a gift for every person who comes.

In this way, we will achieve long-term fairness and honesty - it is the best choice to use policies to restrain people's hearts.

"You've done a good job this time. I plan to propose to the prince that you be the first assistant of the Inspectorate. Yang Kang said.

Zhou Xingxing's eyebrows raised, although he was very happy, he was not happy, "Actually, there are still two things I haven't completed yet." The first is to straighten out the officials. ”

"Oh?" Yang Kang was puzzled.

"Now the Great Ming Dynasty is not a single lord has a problem, but everyone has a problem, they are secretly communicating with each other, taking advantage of the loopholes in the law, although I have a lot of evidence, but I can't touch them for the time being. Because, if you want to move them, you must all be convicted, and in that case, the state will have no available officials. Zhou Xingxing said.

Yang Kang said: "You just have to collect evidence first, and then discuss and deal with it together." You should be the first assistant of this inspectorate, so that you can establish your majesty. In the future, it will be you and Mu Feng who check and balance each other, cooperate with each other, and supervise each other. Do your best and don't disappoint my hopes for you. ”

Zhou Xingxing bowed deeply to Yang Kang: "Don't worry, I, Zhou Sheng, came to look for you, not to say a few empty words." I'm here to do things. ”

Then, Yang Kangzuo asked Xie Ce, hoping that Zhou Xingxing would be promoted to the first assistant of the Inspectorate and Mu Xiong would be promoted to the governor of the Jinling Military Academy.

Xie Ce asked, "This king believes that there is absolutely no problem with your vision. However, Mu Xiong was originally born in the army, and he was still the governor of the military academy, but Zhou Xingxing was promoted to the first assistant after just a month of being the imperial historian, will it be too soon? ”

Yang Kang said with certainty: "Lord Wang, if some people are talented, they don't need time to measure their merits. Although he has only been in a short month, he has already successfully implemented the tax policy, which is incomparable to any newcomer. And, right now, the implementation of tax policy requires a strong leader, and I am old, and I don't like to be an official, so it is time to train a new leader, and this burden, given to Zhou Xingxing, is the most appropriate. Although he is still young, he has a high level of understanding and will soon be competent. After all, a conscientious and responsible person can always make progress faster than a person who always thinks about his own interests. ”

Xie Ce felt that it made sense, so he agreed.

After Yang Kang returned home, he heard that Xie Ling almost gave some of the tonic that Yang Kang bought for her to the slaves and maids to eat.

Yang Kang was very strange, and hurriedly asked Xie Ling: "What's wrong Ling'er, these tonics, which can beautify and nourish your face, used to be your favorite food." ”

"But I can't eat it now." Xie Ling touched his stomach, "Do you remember when I told you that I had a happy event to tell my husband?" ”

Yang Kang looked at Xie Ling's face with joy, and finally understood that Xie Ling was pregnant.

"Really?" Yang Kang never had the luxury of expecting that Xie Ling and he were already in their forties, and they could have another child.

But when this was the truth, Yang Kang still smiled happily.

Xie Ling said: "I was about to discuss with you, but the fetus is getting bigger, so I will go back to Qinghe County to raise it first." Waiting for Yichen's news. ”

Yang Kang nodded, after all, Jinling is not as well taken care of and taken care of as Qinghe County, and at least a number of children are by his side in Qinghe County, so he agreed, "I'll send you back." Anyway, Yichen hasn't come back yet. I'll be with you for a few days. ”

So, Yang Kang and Xie Ce and Zhou Xingxing all said goodbye and returned to Qinghe County with Xie Ling.

A few early plum buds, delicately exposed on the branches.

Several slaves and maids of the Yang Mansion gathered under the plum tree, holding iron sheaths in their hands, and cultivating soil for the plum trees.

Xie Ling's personal slave Xiangli walked over with a food box, saw the familiar slave and maid, and said with a smile: "You guys will go to Madam Yang's room to receive the reward later." Mrs. has a happy event, and she will give it to Mama Chen for us, one or two silver per person, and this month's monthly case has also increased by two more. “

Some of the slaves and maids did not understand, and answered wisely, "It is such a great joy." No wonder Madame has been looking good lately. By the way, does Master Yang know? “

"I guess I just knew. No, the food box is full of fetal soup food, which is explained by Master Yang. Xiangli said very carefully guarding the food box, "Okay, I won't tell you, the lord and the lady are waiting for me." ”

At this time, Yang Zongyan and Master Tianzhu's family returned to Qinghe County almost at the same time as Yang Kang Xie Ling.

Yang Kang didn't see the Dragon Boat Festival, and he saw that Yang Zongyan suddenly brought a strange man and brought his family back, which was very strange.

"Father, they are the people they are looking for during the Dragon Boat Festival." Yang Zongyan pulled Yang Kang aside, "I accidentally found out during the Dragon Boat Festival that he is an expert in silkworm raising." ”

"So where is the Dragon Boat Festival?" Yang Kang asked, "It's been a day since I came back, and I didn't see the Dragon Boat Festival, and I asked the slave maid, and the slave and maid said that they didn't know." What's going on? ”

Yang Zongyan had no choice but to tell Yang Kang everything that had happened.

Yang Kang was shocked when he heard this, "What kind of girl is this Dragon Boat Festival, she once again left the biggest danger to herself!" ”

"What, but, my sister said she wouldn't be in danger." Yang Zongyan said, "She said that she will definitely come back safely!" ”

"Well, she doesn't say so, can you go? Those men in black are going to kill Master Dzi so that you can't take them away, and your sister is going to lure them away so that you can come back smoothly. "Yang Kang is in a hurry.

"So, what now?" Yang Zongyan regretted it very much, he really shouldn't have left his sister like this.

It's been a while, if there is something in the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be something long ago, even if Yang Kang rushes to Jinzhou now, he can't do anything to remedy it.

"We only believe in the Dragon Boat Festival now, I believe that God will protect the Dragon Boat Festival, we will wait for two more days, if the Dragon Boat Festival comes back safely in two days, if not, I will go to Jinju in person. Of course, you can't tell your mother about the Dragon Boat Festival, your mother is pregnant and can't be stimulated. Yang Kang thought for a while and said.

Yang Zongyan was also very happy: "Congratulations to my father." ”

Jinling.

After Zhou Xingxing became the first assistant of the Inspectorate, he ordered all the officials in the capital to come and report to him.

Among them, of course, some people are relatives of Wu Huo, the general of the border pass, and they did not come because they believed that they had a relationship with Wu Huo.

Zhou Xingxing did not move Wu Huo's people for the time being.

When he had heard their reports, he swept his fierce gaze over the officials and said, "I command you to compile all the books of accounts within five days, with the day after five days as the deadline." When the time comes, the assistant will personally go down to check the accounts. If there is the slightest omission of taxes, this auxiliary will be implemented in accordance with the law! No mercy! ”

The officials lazily replied "yes", but they didn't care at all.

It's just an audit, and I haven't checked the accounts for so many years, but I haven't said once that they have a problem.

Because, every level between them is cleared, the account book is perfect, and almost everyone has oil and water.

Even if Zhou Xingxing found out something, could he still dismiss them and investigate them?

If they are all guilty, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the Great Ming Dynasty? Xie Ce and the emperor also did not allow Zhou Xingxing to come.

Zhou Xingxing's eyebrows furrowed after waving them all away.

Of course he knew that these lords were old fritters.

However, these old fritters are used to them by the state.

The Great Ming Dynasty already lacked available talents, and these lords, geniuses who had been working in their positions for a long time, were already very familiar with them, and if they were all replaced, it would be difficult to find a new person to replace them immediately.

Not to mention that it takes some time for newcomers to get used to it, and the officers generally have specialized skills, which is not something that anyone can replace. Without one of them, the entire official system would be paralyzed.

Therefore, this is also the reason why in the past, although Mu Feng found out that they had problems, he did not dare to touch them.

If they are not moved, it may cause temporary corruption, but if they are moved, the country will be in chaos.

However, he Zhou Xingxing didn't believe in this evil.

He's going to move them!

The so-called "embankment of a thousand miles, collapse in the anthill", if so many moths are raised, although they are not removed for a while, it will not have any impact on the entire embankment, but over time, the embankment will be mothed by them!

Although going out to them now will cause the dam to be destroyed, as long as the dam is built in time, it will be slowly fine.

Thinking like this, Zhou Xingxing showed a quiet smile on his face.

The autumn colors along the way, each city is different, Yang Duanwu rode a horse, almost to Qinghe County, the mood is still quite complicated.

When she left Qinghe County this time, she only told Lin Anye and Zhou Yuheng, and she only told Hami and Mango about the slaves.

However, how did the people of the canopy dart bureau know?

Of course, it may also be that there are other slaves and maids who can't see the Dragon Boat Festival and run to inform, but how can they know that she went to Jinju this time?

Could it be that the people at the Huagai Dart Bureau can read minds and guess that she is going to Jinju?

This is simply not possible.

The only possibility is that one of Lin Anye, Zhou Yuheng, Mango and Hami ran to tell the secret!

That is, by her side, there are moles!

The Dragon Boat Festival is really silently wiping sweat.

These four people are all people she thinks she can trust, so she told them such an important thing this time.

Any one of them being a mole will make her sad and sad.

But who could it be?

Lin Anye, it can't be Lin Anye.

Then, it must be one of Zhou Yuheng, Mango or Hami.

Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival thought to himself, maybe Hami had a big mouth and inadvertently told others, maybe he couldn't say.

In short, the Dragon Boat Festival is going back home this time, and it is necessary to check it heavily!

This traitor must be found out!

"The Dragon Boat Festival is back!" In the study, Yang Zongyan ran into a shout of surprise.

Within two days, the Dragon Boat Festival will be back! Looks like she's fine!

Yang Kang was also very happy and went to see the Dragon Boat Festival in person.

At this time, Hami had already finished serving the Dragon Boat Festival bath and changed into clean clothes.

After going to the field for so long, it was the first time, and there was indescribable fatigue during the Dragon Boat Festival, but she still proposed to meet Master Dzi.

Yang Kang said: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, Master Tianzhu has already stayed in our guest room, in the courtyard adjacent to Zhou Yuheng. In order to protect him, I also specially arranged for ten nursing homes to watch them day and night. His son has been buried, and a simple funeral was held yesterday for his son. ”

"It's all me, ignoring the traitors in our house, and indirectly killing the son of the Dzi master." The Dragon Boat Festival is very guilty.

"You wouldn't expect that. Master Dzi doesn't blame you. Yang Kang comforted: "In short, if you come back safely, Daddy will be relieved." But Dragon Boat Festival, you can't be so risky next time, what if something happens to you this time? ”

Dragon Boat Festival shook his head: "I'm fine." However, I met Brother Chongyang. ”

Yang Kang thought that the Dragon Boat Festival had experienced a murder case and his mind had become unconscious, and said: "Dragon Boat Festival, you better sleep well, and tell your father when you wake up, what has happened to you in the past half a month." ”

"Father, I'm not crazy, I really see someone with the same back and the same voice as him." The Dragon Boat Festival simply told the story of the past few days, "How can there be such similar people in this world?" Brother Chongyang has no twin brothers, it must be Brother Chongyang, it must be! ”

Yang Kang's eyes narrowed, "But, how could Chongyang be in a wheelchair?" ”

"Maybe it was that cliff jump that broke his leg." Dragon Boat Festival said with certainty, "In short, I will not admit my mistake." ”

Yang Kang said: "But even if he is Ni Chongyang, we still can't find him." Since He can save you in times of crisis, it means that He has been secretly watching us all along. It's even protecting us. We can only wait for him to come out to meet us on his own. ”

"Yes, Dragon Boat Festival, right now, we should cooperate with Master Dzi and start raising castor silkworms. After all, we are about to enter a harsh winter, and silkworms are no longer suitable for raising, and our income will be reduced by a large margin. Yang Zongyan said.

Dragon Boat nodded, then looked at the slaves Hami and Mango standing at the door, and said, "Please Daddy and Brother go out first, I still have some things to deal with in the inner house." “

So Yang Kang and Yang Zongyan both walked out.

The Dragon Boat Festival called Hami in and let Mango guard at the door. (To be continued.) )
