Chapter 307: Collapse

"Dad, isn't the fourth uncle sure that he can stay in Beijing, why can't he suddenly do it again?" An Rong couldn't wait to ask.

There was a faint guess in his heart, if there was such an accident, Xiao Zhan must have made a move.

Green sleeves brought the tea over, and Hou Ye took it in his hand, gently fiddling with it, and the tea was full of steam.

Hou Ye blew lightly twice, that comfortable look, An Rong was flustered in his heart, but he knew that Hou Ye was happy.

Hou Ye glanced at An Rong and said, "The salt merchant Zhao family escorted a hundred thousand taels of salt to lead through the Tongzhou area, and was robbed by robbers, and the young master of the Zhao family was injured.

Having encountered robbers a few years ago, and being adjacent to the same state, it was also under suspicion, and the emperor ordered that officials in these two states were not allowed to transfer until the Zhao family's case was understood. ”

This is because I am worried that those officials will collude with the bandits, and once they leave office, it will be inconvenient to investigate.

Therefore, the previous efforts of the fourth master were all in vain.

As soon as the Hou Ye finished speaking, the fourth master entered the house with a gloomy face, and the fourth wife followed behind, and her face was no longer gentle.

I can't stay in Kyoto, where I'm not in a good mood.

The fourth old man stepped in, respectfully greeted the old lady, and then looked at the Hou Ye and said, "Big brother, the imperial court has revoked my appointment to stay in Beijing, can you help me?" ”

Hou Ye put down the teacup and said, "Let the second brother help you, I don't have that much ability." ”

The rejection was clean and decisive, without mercy.

An Rong secretly clapped his hands. That's how it should be refused.

The fourth master's face was extremely ugly, and the fourth lady hurriedly stepped forward and said good words, "Big brother." Before, such a trivial matter as staying in Beijing, the second brother helped with everything he could, but now that there is such an accident, the second brother is also powerless, our lord can only rely on you, eldest brother, now who in Kyoto does not know the power of the Hou Ye, as long as you say a word. We'll be able to stay in Beijing. ”

The fourth wife put on a high hat for Hou Ye, and wanted to smooth out Hou Ye's hair. I agreed to her request, but unfortunately the fourth lady miscalculated.

Hou Ye was very hard-hearted and unmoved.

"The emperor personally ordered that the case of the robbers should be thoroughly investigated. There can be no official transfer in the two states, and I will not disobey the emperor," Hou Ye said, stepping up, "The fourth brother can do it himself." ”

The last sentence is self-sufficient, and the four old men have a cold back.

Watching Hou Ye step away, the fourth old man had a worried look in his eyes.

No official can really clean his sleeves, and he has really received a lot of benefits in office, and there are some things that require him to turn a blind eye. For his sake, he regarded it as if he had not seen it.

There is no money, and he is close to his money. How is it moisturized?

But once you find it, if you find it......

When the fourth master thought about it, his back was cold, and he greeted all the eight generations of the ancestors of the robbers in the Zhao family case in Tongzhou.

Out of Songhe Courtyard, An Rong walked briskly back to Linglong Garden.

Holding the token in his hand, he had a gentle and unbridled smile on his face.

Peony followed. "There are many robbers in the imperial court. It was said that they would investigate thoroughly, but in the end it seemed to be over, and the case of the Zhao family, a salt merchant, wouldn't it be the same? ”

An Rong also has such worries, "I hope that the case of the Zhao family, a salt merchant, does not involve the court ministers." ”

In the end, the robbery cases were not solved, not because they could not be found, but because the officials in charge of the investigation were either killed or bribed, arrested a small official, replaced him, and finally "committed suicide" in prison, and the case was closed.

An Rong had seen a lot of such things in his previous life, and in the end, the losses of those businessmen could only be borne by himself.

The salt merchant Zhao family helped An Rong get his wish, and An Rong hoped that the Zhao family could find the robbed salt guide and minimize the loss.

Peony shook her head lightly and sighed, "There is no one behind him, how can anyone have such courage, and why does Shioyin have to come to Kyoto to buy it, if only he could buy it in the same state?" ”

Not to mention the hard work of running so far, and being robbed on the road, the young master of the Zhao family is really unlucky enough, Peony mourned silently, expressing sympathy for him.

An Rong paused, and Peony followed behind, not paying attention for a while, and bumped into it.

Peony covered her head and looked at An Rong, "Girl, what's wrong?" ”

An Rong looked at the peony with a smile in his eyes, "Yes, why did Yanyin have to come to Kyoto to buy it?" ”

Peony looked at An Rong blankly, "That's how the imperial court rules." ”

After Peony finished speaking, An Rong had already taken steps, three steps and two steps to Linglong Garden, Peony scratched her forehead, and followed behind in confusion.

Oh, oh, he walked upstairs calmly.

Because he was in a hurry, An Rong's cheeks were crimson, which was better than the gorgeous sunset.

Xiao Zhan was drinking tea at the table, he knew that An Rong had got the token, seeing that she was in such a hurry, Xiao Zhan couldn't bear it, in fact, he could get it himself.

An Rong put the token in front of Xiao Zhan and asked, "Did you help me with my fourth uncle's release?" ”

Xiao Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at An Rong, put down the teacup, took the token, reached out and pinched An Rong's cheek, and said with a low smile, "If you want to thank me, you can make the braised pork more flavorful." ”

An Rong's cheeks turned red, and seeing Xiao Zhan turn to leave, An Rong hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Don't leave yet, I have something to say to you." ”

Xiao Zhan looked at An Rong and nodded.

An Rong said, "Didn't you say that General Xiao asked you to help solve the 'road damage' matter, just now I thought of a good solution, it should be feasible." ”

Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows, "What's the way?" ”

An Rong took his hand back and said, "The imperial court stipulates that salt merchants must have salt to sell salt, and they must come to Kyoto to buy it, not to mention the long distance, there are dangers, I thought, I can hand over the salt to the generals stationed at the border pass, and the nearby salt merchants can exchange the grain, and those 'road damages' can be borne by the salt merchants, I think they must be happy." ”

The more An Rong said, the brighter Xiao Zhan's eyes became, and finally he laughed.

He only used three words to praise An Rong, but An Rong was ashamed to go to the ground.

Xiao Zhan praised Anrong as his virtuous helper.

Xiao Zhan walked for a long time. An Rong was still standing there stupidly, covering his cheeks with his hands, and heard the maid secretly chuckling. Turning his head and glaring.

The lethality is not strong, and the peony is not afraid at all, she even had the courage to joke about An Rong, "Xian Nei Zhu, Xiao Guogong Mansion sent Na Cai Lilai, but the girl hasn't returned the gift yet, 'Xian Wai Zhu' wants the girl to make shoes for him." ”

This is a "virtuous foreign help". Xiao Zhan really deserves it, something that An Rong can't do. In Xiao Zhan's place, it's a piece of cake, as long as you make a move, it will be done.

An Rong realized. She was now more and more dependent on him.

The only thing she was glad about was that she could also help Xiao Zhan a little bit.

An Rong was in a happy mood with the soles of his shoes, and he really took care of Peony's words in his heart, do you want to help Xiao Zhan make a pair of shoes?

An Rong looked at the messy stitches that were not fine at all, and immediately dispelled such thoughts.

For a person like Xiao Zhan who practices martial arts, shoes are particularly important, and An Rong doesn't want Xiao Zhan to wear the shoes she made to fight the enemy. Step up force.

Well, the sole of the shoe collapsed.

An Rong imagined in his mind that Xiao Zhan was holding a sword and aiming at the open shoes. The expression of "virtuous help" was embarrassed, and he leaned forward and backward with joy, laughing can make the enemy laugh and faint, how can he fight?

An Rong hugged her sore stomach with a smile and fell on the couch.

Peony and Begonia looked at each other, what are you happy about, girl. Convulsions?

"No, my stomach hurts so much from laughing." An Rong stretched out her hand and asked the maid to pull her up.

After sitting upright, An Rong was struggling with whether to make shoes for Xiao Zhan again.

To be honest, she thought it was a good idea to make the enemy laugh, and she also wanted to see Xiao Zhan's embarrassed expression, it would definitely be funny.

I'm afraid that his shoes will collapse in front of Old Duke Xiao and General Xiao, or in front of the emperor or ministers......

An Rong shook his head violently, he couldn't think about it anymore.

That would ruin her reputation.

An Rong decided to make clothes for Xiao Zhan.

"You said to make clothes for Young Master Xiao Biao, what color is good?" An Rong was a little undecided.

To be honest, she didn't like Xiao Zhan to wear a dark blue brocade robe, she was already very cold, and wearing such cold-colored clothes made people feel even colder.

Thinking about it, it seems that the most suitable thing for Xiao Zhan is Xuan Cyan, and when other clothes are worn on him, An Rong feels a little awkward.

Peony blurted out, "Sky blue!" ”

After speaking, Peony saw the smile on the corner of An Rong's mouth stiffened, and hurriedly closed her mouth, eager to pump her two mouths, which pot is really not opened.

Begonia pushed the peony and glared at her several times.

Peony pouted, she didn't mean it again, she reacted subconsciously.

She always felt that Young Master Xiao Biao must be very good in sky blue.

Haitang said, "The girl asked for a peace charm to come back, why don't you embroider a purse?" ”

Peony was afraid that An Rong would annoy her, so she hurriedly made up for it, "The slave maid went to the Buddha Hall to inquire and see which of the five girls stole the girl's silver ticket." ”

After saying that, Peony hurriedly slipped away.

Peony grumbled in her heart.

Young Master Xun and Young Master Xiao Biao both like to wear clothes of one color, but they don't show their faces, now it's okay, when it comes to sky blue, the girl thinks of Young Master Xun.

But he appeared today, only showed his face, and ran away!

I also wish the girl and Young Master Xiao Biao a harmonious husband and wife, and grow old together.

Peony decided, just rushed to him with this sentence, and supported Xiao Zhan in the future.

Originally, he still had hope of winning, but he gave up by himself, and Young Master Xiao Biao did more things than him!

Talking, Peony went to the Buddha Hall, and really watched a good show.

Shen Anyu knelt on the ground, you guess me, I doubt you, questioning, and accusing word by word.

"Second sister, among the few of us, you went out of Linglong Garden, said that your stomach was unwell, and you went back to Dongyuan, you got the silver ticket, right?" Shen Anyu said.

Shen Anfu's face was pale, "Fifth sister, you have to speak with your conscience, I have sworn that I have not stolen the fourth sister's silver ticket, I have returned to Dongyuan, but what about you, you have also changed the maid halfway!" ”

Shen Anyu gasped angrily, "Didn't the seventh sister's maid also walk away halfway, and their master and servant also went to the thatched house together!" ”

Shen Anqian suddenly became angry, "I just went to the thatched house, can I still hide the stolen silver ticket in the thatched house?!" ”
