Chapter 655: Local tyrants
I don't know if it was Xu Jingxuan's high-profile trouble, in short, they only stayed in Jizhong City for most of the day, and in the evening, someone from the Meng family farm found the inn and welcomed the Nine Emperors and the county lord to live in the farm.
Through the account books of the Guogong Mansion, Meng Guanshuang also had some concepts about Jizhong Farm in his heart.
It's just that when the carriage stopped at the wide gate of the farm, she still couldn't help but speak: Good guy, this is because of the land boundary in the countryside outside the city, and you don't have to consider the land area to build a house?
Just looking at the area where the outer wall extended, there was no need to go in, Meng Guanshuang felt that this was definitely the rhythm of the local tyrant!
Inside, through the large shadow wall painted with landscape paintings, it suddenly seems to have entered the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
That's right, it's not that she exaggerated, but that this farm is built as a condensed Jiangnan water town.
The rivers in it are vertical and horizontal, the arch bridges are connected, or the large or small lakes are planted all over the place, or the red water is full of ponds, and the green reeds are swaying in the wind, forming a series of green waves.
On the riverside and lakeside, pavilions and pavilions are built facing the water, and the buildings are reflected on the water, which is a proper picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"I didn't expect that my mother was just a joke back then, and the Protector Mansion really broke some thoughts!" Xu Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh at this time.
"Emperor Xianshu likes the spring color of Jiangnan the most, but her identity is restricted, she can't go south at will, seeing that the water in Hebei is abundant and there are many rivers, she has no intention of mentioning it, if she can see the scenery of Jiangnan, she is enough! The emperor took pity on him, so he mentioned it to the old man, and the farm has what it is now! It was Zhang Cheng, who had just taken over the position of the manager of Jizhong Tian, who came to greet him. He knew that Meng Guanshuang had only returned to the public mansion not long ago, and he was not clear about the allusion to Jizhong Farm, so he explained.
Accompanied by Liu Qi, who came with him, and Wu Chang, the original deputy steward.
For this deputy steward, Meng Guanshuang took a few more looks.
Mama Yang said that he was a person who was addicted to alcohol, but at this time, when he was behind him, his body was clean, refreshing, and there was no smell of alcohol, which was not as unbearable as Mama Yang.
Meng Guanshuang threw a look at Xu Jingxuan, and the meaning in that eye was: Will the emperor spoil his mother too much?
Of course. I can't help but be ashamed. It turns out that his grandfather is not a person who is too upright, and this sycophant really patted the emperor's heart.
Xu Jingxuan glanced back at her innocently, but took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention. He whispered in her ear, "If you like it." I'll make it happen for you, too! ”
Meng Guan was embarrassed. Pushing away his approaching body, he warned, "Settle me down, don't get so close!" ”
Xu Jingxuan bared his teeth and smiled. But he obediently retreated a little.
His family has a good face and thin skin, so it's better for him to be well-behaved.
Along the way, I enjoyed the scenery for a long time, walked about a cup of tea, and then arrived at the main hall of the courtyard.
The scale of the spacious hall can be compared with some palaces in the palace, but after seeing the overwhelming number of people in the hall, Meng Guanshuang sighed again: It turns out that her father is really a tyrant!
In a farm yard in another village, there are servants like clouds, so it is no wonder that Feng Yuyao arranged her relatives here.
Due to the wide area of Jizhong Farm, the stewards who were transferred from the capital or other places could bring their families to live in the village, and each household had its own small courtyard.
When the master does not appear, it is equivalent to half of the master, and there are little maids to serve.
This may be the biggest reason why Feng Qiang is bold and dares to move Jizhong's finances.
It was precisely because she cut off Feng Qiang's oil and water that he wanted to kill her in a frenzy!
So, what about Feng Yuyao?
She stabbed the matter to Meng Tang through the big housekeeper, and arranged for Meng Tang's own people to come over and take over Jizhong, which was tantamount to cutting off Feng Yuyao's income, and her hatred for herself would definitely not be less than Feng Qiang.
At this time, Meng Guanshuang really understood the reason why Xu Jingxuan had to bring her to Jizhong.
There are so many people, how many are attached to Feng Qiang and stand on Feng Yuyao's side, how many are neutral, and how many are Meng Tang's own, these need to be completely decided by taking advantage of Feng Qiang's incident.
Although Meng Guanshuang is the lord and Xu Jingxuan is nominally a guest, his guest status is special, so it is Xu Jingxuan who is seated on the main seat, and Meng Guanshuang has no choice but to sit on the right side.
After they sat down, Zhang Cheng took the lead and led a group of subordinates to kneel, met the third generation of the little master, and then waited to listen to Meng Guanshuang's teachings.
Meng Guanshuang encountered a scene for the first time that she needed to preside over the overall situation in public, and she was really a little short of words, and she didn't know what to say.
But since she came on behalf of the Guogong Mansion, if she didn't say anything when they met for the first time, I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public.
There is a way that the emperor is far away, and in the hearts of these people who are far away from the capital, I am afraid that the most taboo is the stewards who are managed nearby, rather than their masters who are far away from the capital.
"Everybody, get up!" Meng Guanshuang cleared his throat, let them get up first, and then said quietly, "I think everyone has already understood the matter of the former chief steward Feng Qiang's personal pockets and trying to get away with it!" ”
The opening remarks were to be deterred by Feng Qiang's affairs, and Meng Guanshuang had his own considerations.
As soon as Feng Qiang had an accident, she came on behalf of the entire Guogong Mansion, and it must be because the Guogong Mansion was not at ease. And if she secretly said something unfocused to perfunctory them, I am afraid that it will make them ignore the seriousness and punishment methods of the Guogong Mansion.
It's a pity that Feng Qiang's death can't be said yet, that scene is too bloody and will frighten many people.
"Slaves know!" In the hall, everyone responded in unison.
My grandfather and father deplored this very much. They were relieved to hand over Jizhong to Feng Qiang for management, because they believed that he would be able to lead everyone to manage all the industries in Jizhong. But I didn't expect that he was a wolf, his ambition was insatiable, he was greedy for my Meng family's private property, and he was able to speak out in the Guogong Mansion without shame, which angered Mrs. Ping and swept him away. Feng Qiang's previous car must be a lesson for your latter, and this county lord hopes that there will not be a second Feng Qiang in Jizhong! ”
At these words, Meng Guanshuang said in a subdued and sonorous manner, without the cowardice of the little daughter between her eyebrows and eyes, but heroic.
Obviously, there are a lot of people below, but everyone seems to be able to feel that her gaze is running through all obstacles, staring straight at herself, and her heart can't help but feel cold, and at the same time, she also realizes that the capital must attach great importance to corruption.
People who have made small movements are even more nervous and cold.
At this time, Meng Guanshuang continued: "People die for money, birds die for food, wealth is the most moving thing, and there are not a few people who fold on this thing in ancient times. But the county still believes that in the face of mundane things, there are still awe-inspiring and righteous people who can grasp the temptation of such mundane things. Feng Qiang's incident is also reminding you and me that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and only by reining in the precipice can we keep everything in front of us! ”
"Yes! The county lord is wise! The subordinates answered in unison.
After Meng Guanshuang finished speaking, it was already dark, and the chief steward Zhang Cheng invited Meng Guanshuang and Xu Jingxuan to the banquet.
After dinner, I arranged to live in the main compound, and I didn't say anything all night. (To be continued.) )
