Standing in front of the half-collapsed cell, Yang Duo's face sank like water. If you love to play and watch, come to WWW. LＷXＳ。 ＯＲＧ

The captain on duty carefully peeked at Commander Yang's expression, and saw that his comrades were standing in the corner of the wall, and he didn't mean to step forward at all, so he could only say stubbornly; "Command, this cell was destroyed by Dingguo Gong, and the prisoner who was imprisoned next door has been moved elsewhere. When Dingguo Gong was leaving, he also said......"

"Say what?"

Yang Duo turned his head, his gaze like a knife.

The captain immediately lowered his head, hating to shrink to three inches, and found a crack in the ground to hide in, "Dingguo Gong said, and I will discuss with the commander another day." ”

The voice became smaller and quieter, and the last two words were almost inaudible.

Yang Duo's face turned completely black.

Angry to the extreme, it must explode.

Click! Bang! Syllable!

There were only a few wooden bars left in the cell, which were kicked and broken by Yang Duo one after another, and half of the ruins were also declared dead.

Looking at the thick broken wood at the mouth of the bowl, the brocade guards present all had straight eyes, and there was a chill behind them. Swallowed his saliva, took three steps back, and simply stuck to the wall without retreating.

Someone who was bold asked cautiously, "Conductor?" ”

Commander Yang smiled, smiling lightly, "The edict prison must be rebuilt." ”

In short, it's better to push - fall anyway, it's better for him to come.

The brocade guards were terrified.

It seems that it is not only Dingguo Gong who is murderous, but also Commander Yang.

The prisoners in the cells were no longer clamoring. No matter how brainless you are, you should know that it is not the time to be "upright".

kicked off the wooden fence and solved the remaining half of the wall by the way, Yang Duo was in a "good mood".

"Where is Ji Gang?"

"Back to the command, Ji Tongzhi is resting today."

"Send for him." Yang Duo dusted his sleeves, "I have something to ask him to do." ”

"Yes."

The lieutenant took a big stride and flew away.

The comrades who stayed in the edict were all gritting their teeth with envy, what a good chance to escape! , I usually don't react slowly, why was this kid taking the lead?

Fortunately, Yang Duo's anger did not last long. According to industry terminology, Jinyiwei is engaged in intelligence-reporting-torture-interrogation work, and his anger cannot be released for too long, and he must always be calm and self-controlled, so as to meet his identity.

But......

Yang Duo coldly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Demolished the prison cell of the edict, thinking that it would be over?

The household department must not give money to Jinyiwei to repair the cell, and the Son of Heaven may not be able to open the inner treasury, this money, can't Beizhen Fusi come out by himself, right?

Carefully calculated, Dingguo Gong and Xingning Boke are both rich people.

With a calculation in his heart, Yang Duo curled the corners of his mouth, extremely handsome, but inexplicably frightening.

All the brocade guards shivered.

Can Commander Yang stop smiling like this, it's really scary.

XX's, the North Town Fu Division is too dangerous, can they please transfer the South Town Fu Division?

Not to mention how the Jinyi guard in the edict prison was in dire straits, Uncle Meng, who was taken back to the Guogong Mansion by Shen Xuan, leaned comfortably on the couch, with a booklet in his hand and a row of boxes on the ground, his eyes were full of golden light, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

The emperor's reward, plus the dividends in the Jiaozhi business, was issued, and it was really issued now!

"There is still food after the autumn." Shen Xuan sat beside Meng, his cold expression was no longer there, and his fingers brushed Meng's ears, "Do you want food or exchange it for money, just tell me to go down." ”

Meng nodded, continued to flip through the booklet, and after a while, his smile turned into consternation, "Grandpa Guo......"

"How?"

"That's not the right amount."

"But less?"

"It's not." It's a lot, and it's a bit too much. These are all his? He obviously didn't buy so much land, could it be the handiwork of the person in front of him?

As if seeing what Meng was thinking, Shen Xuan smiled, "Twelve Lang can rest assured that it is nothing." ”

Meng: "......" to show off wealth, red-fruit-fruit to show off wealth! One of these princes is counted as one, and they should all be the objects of hatred of the rich!

"If Twelve Lang is interested, he can send someone to Jiaozhi again. The local political envoys and the metropolitan commanders are selling land to merchants in large quantities, and they can cut down wood and cultivate fields. The reclaimed fields are exempt from tax in the current year, and the tax per mu in the following year is half a bucket, and the tax amount of the Central Plains is paid in three years. ”

"The people who bought land in Jiaozhi were all Central Plains businessmen?"

"There are also local magistrates." took out the booklet in Meng's hand, took the person into his arms, and patted it gently, "There are also neighboring Fanbang." ”

"Fanbang?"

Meng frowned, it has been included in the land of the Ming Dynasty, how can he allow others to take advantage? Moreover, the southwestern states are not good at stubble, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity of buying land to encroach on adjacent land.

"Twelve Lang don't worry." Nodding Meng's forehead, Shen Xuan said, "The political envoy of Jiaozhi is Jin Zhong, the former secretary of the military department. ”

Meng blinked.

"Most of the fields purchased by the people of Fanbang are on the border of Cochin, but they ......"

Shen Xuan's voice gradually lowered, and Meng involuntarily clung to it, but he didn't notice it at all, and the whole person was leaning on Grandpa Guo's arms. only focused on Shen Xuan's words, and the more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.

The land in Jiaozhi, where people from the states of Champong, Siam, and Chenla grew grain and logged, was not actually sold, but leased. Naturally, there is no tax exemption for the fields they reclaim and plant, and the tax burden is half of the tax burden compared to the merchants of the Central Plains.

Who is Kim Chung?

The hero who made suggestions for Zhu Dijing back then. Although he was suspected of being a god, he was praised by Daoyan. Zhu Di was elected to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he served in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War successively. As a result, people sit in Jiaozhi, and they are not afraid of the neighboring Fanbang, so they can't afford to be afraid.

With the domineering level of Emperor Yongle, who dares to stretch out his claws towards his territory and chop his hands!

After chopping, there is a chance that eight out of ten - nine will ask for another "labor fee".

Irrationality?

With a slanted eye, it doesn't take much effort to chop your hands? Money, of course!

It is conceivable that Zhancheng, Siam and other countries obediently rented land to farm and pay taxes, and paid taxes as tenants in the Ming Dynasty.

Stubbornly resisting and cheating, Li Ji and his son are a lesson from the past.

Relying on the Ming Dynasty to send troops, Zhancheng was able to get rid of the threat of Annam, otherwise it would be a matter of time before the country was destroyed.

Although Siam was strong, Zhu Di threatened and scolded, but his feet were still weak.

Although Laos, Myanmar and other states are Fanbang, there are Ming Dynasty ambassadors in the territory.

Thinking about the consequences of a hot head, Meng Du pinched a cold sweat for these fanbangs.

In the Yongle Dynasty, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was quite strong. The civil official group occasionally makes head draws, but there is no shortage of famous ministers, and it is not like the late Ming Dynasty-party-struggle, where the fart-stock determines the head. If you choose the wrong team, no matter how capable you are, you can stand aside.

Internally, the struggle between civil and military forces has always existed. Externally, no matter how civil and military generals can take a correct position, they will not be soft at all.

Although he did not deal with the Chinese official group of the DPRK, Meng must also touch his conscience and give these doctors a pertinent evaluation. Even most of the time, these doctors are quite annoying. But when necessary, it can still be used.

For example, Jin Zhong, who served as the political envoy of Jiaozhi. Not to mention Emperor Yongle, even Meng knows that his relationship with Zhu Gaochi is not ordinary. still has to be reused by Zhu Di, just because he is indeed a talent. From the central government to the southwestern border, it can never be regarded as a "promotion", and the six heavenly officials serve as the political envoys of Jiaozhi, in other words, it is a disguised derogation, but on the importance of Jiaozhi today, no one dares to say that there is a more suitable candidate than Jin Zhong.

So, don't guess the emperor's thoughts.

Xie Jin, Jin Zhong, Feng Gui......

All the courtiers of the Pingwang line, or suspected of the Pingwang lineage, as long as they made mistakes, most of them were sent to the southwest, either Guizhou and Guangxi, or Jiaozhi.

From a general point of view, nothing out of the ordinary. Guangxi, Guizhou and other places have been the best places for exile and degrading labor reform since ancient times. However, combined with Zhu Gaochi's view of Fan Pu'anzhou, things are definitely not as simple as they seem.

It's a shock to think about.

Pinching his fingers, he himself is in trouble and has no time to take care of himself, how can he still dream about this?

Shen Xuan is back, he is safe, and his family members who are far away in Shuntian Mansion are still a big stone in his heart. No matter how worried he was, he could only hope that Meng Qingjiang would rush back as soon as possible, contact Ding Qianhu and Zhu Wang and others in Daning, and never send another person out of Beijing.

If he did, the charges against him would be ten times more serious.

Meng closed his eyes, and another wave of exhaustion struck.

The medicine sentenced by Zhao Yuan was very effective, but he could still clearly feel that his energy was not as good as before.

Just in his early twenties, his body is dilapidated like this, unless he takes care of himself, otherwise, it is an impossible task to live to old age.

smiled helplessly, do you have this opportunity?

"What's wrong?" Sensing Meng's sudden silence, Shen Xuan lowered his eyes and covered his cheek with his palm, "But tired?" ”

"Yes." Meng nodded, grabbed Shen Xuan's wrist, raised his head, rested his chin on Shen Xuan, felt uncomfortable, and lay back again, "The affairs of the clan are upset." ”

For a long time, when Meng thought that Shen Xuan would not ask again, he heard him: "Because of the affairs of the clan, you went to prison?" ”

Meng closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "I can't help it." ”

If you don't take the initiative to surrender, let alone protect your family, I'm afraid you will even have to get in.

He did hug Emperor Yongle's thighs, whether he was reliable or not, he never dared to pat his chest and pack the ticket 100%.

When such a thing happens, considering the worst outcome, you can at least leave yourself a way back. Moreover, in this way, no one will use him as an introduction to find trouble with Shen Xuan.

"If I don't take the initiative and be impeached, the trouble will be even greater."

After all, it is true that the Meng clan people have encroached on the fields. Colluding with some officials to attack the timber shipped to Beijing is not a fabrication.

"However, I will not take all the blame on my shoulders. There is always a price to pay for doing wrong, otherwise you will never know repentance. ”

Meng pulled Shen Xuan's hand down in front of his eyes, his fingers were slender, and the lines of his palm were clear.

"If you've made up your mind, why bother about it?" Shen Xuan stroked Meng's back and said softly, "According to your words, Your Majesty will hand over this matter to Jinyiwei for disposal." Without going through the criminal department, the family should have no worries. ”

"......"

"I'm really worried, I can send someone to inform the Daning Dusi, and I will also write to Wei Guogong, so that Jinyiwei can avoid being disturbed when he investigates the case."

"Yes."

Meng nodded and let go of Shen Xuan's wrist, not wanting to be held with his backhand.

"Xuan wasn't here before, and Twelve Lang was worried."

Shen Xuan took Meng's hand and brought it to his lips, the warm touch melted from his fingers in an instant, flowing all over his limbs.

Meng Bu unconsciously turned red at the root of his ears.

"Now, Twelve Lang doesn't have to worry." His lips slid down his fingertips and finally landed on his palm, "Stay in the house with peace of mind, and leave everything to me, okay?" ”

I don't know if it's beauty-lust-misleading, or if the deep voice is too convincing. In short, Meng someone, who even had a red neck, nodded in a daze and without any objections.

Shen Xuan smiled, held up the back of Meng's neck, gently rubbed the tip of his nose, and sealed it with a kiss.

All voices, along with the intellect and the ability to think, disappeared together.

Baoding Mansion, New Town

In April, it should be the spring ploughing season for all things to recover, but the prefectures and counties in northern Xinjiang are still sporadically fluttering with snowflakes. Near the side of the stop, it was snowing heavily for days, and there was not a single green star.

The farmer went to the field, brandished his hoe, and smashed it down, leaving only shallow pits, and the ground was still frozen solid.

Experienced old farmers are worried that if the snow does not stop, the weather will not improve, and they will not be able to plant in time, and this year's grain harvest may fail.

The imperial court exempted Shuntianfu from taxes and grain, but the peasants had to eat their stomachs, and the tenants had to pay rent.

When you miss the day, is God not giving you food, just a few days have passed, and you are going to taste the taste of a hungry family again?

On the official road, more than a dozen fast horses galloped by.

The officials who were resting in the post station and the officials who were going to and fro looked at the voice, and their expressions were solemn.

"Jin Yiwei?"

"Look in the direction where Shuntianfu goes."

"Isn't there another official who has committed a crime?"

"It's hard to say." The person who spoke looked around and lowered his voice, "Look at this posture, eighty percent is a big official." ”

"Could it be the ...... of Beijing's six departments"

"Don't say more, hurry up and get to the meal, hurry up!"

When a bearded man heard everyone's discussion, his brows couldn't help but tighten, and after eating the cake in three or two bites, he let the post man fill the bag with water, grabbed the waist knife, slapped the scabbard on the body of several soldiers at the same table, and said loudly: "I'm full, let's go!" ”

"Qianhu, rest again."

"What are you resting for?!" The bearded man known as Qianhu glared, "What did Zong Rong order?" The military situation is urgent! Letters of the King of Joseon ......"

"Thousands of households are cautious!"

A military man wearing a jacket but looking like a clerk hurriedly got up, stopped the big man's words, paid attention to the surroundings, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he eased his expression, but he still reminded the big man, "Qianhu, this matter is confidential, you must be cautious." ”

Can this be said casually? The news was leaked, and I couldn't eat and walk around! Mo said that Meng Zongrong would not let go, and when he returned to Beijing, he had to be taken by the brothers of Nanzhen Fusi to loosen his muscles and bones.

Dahan's expression froze, "What Captain Ma said is that I was negligent. ”

After this short episode, the soldiers had no intention of resting, grabbed their waist knives, got up and walked out of the post station, turned over and jumped on the military horse that had been fed forage, and pulled the reins violently, and the military horse raised its four hooves and galloped south.

One north and one south, the two teams of Jinyi Wei galloped to Shuntian and Yingtian respectively.

At the same time, Meng Qingjiang had rushed back to Mengjiatun, and he didn't have time to rest, so after entering Mengjiatun, he went straight to the ancestral house of the Meng family.

Some clansmen saw that he was in a hurry, and they inevitably felt strange and asked.

Meng Qingjiang knew that he was too anxious and showed traces, so he could only excuse Fifth Sister Meng to leave the cabinet and come to see as an uncle, and then rush back to Xingzhou as soon as possible, so as to barely dispel the suspicions of the clansmen.

"Twelve Lang has taken care of the clan, and the children of the clan can go to Daning Confucianism to study, and it is also the face of Twelve Lang. The third sister is out of the cabinet, I am transporting grain in the north, I don't get any news, I can't miss it again this time. ”

Meng Qingjiang said it truthfully, the clansmen didn't think much about it, nodded with a smile, and didn't ask any more.

Turning around, the smile on Meng Qingjiang's face disappeared without a trace.

When it comes to ingratitude, who can compare to this group of people?

Think about what the twelve Lang have done for the clan, and then see how they have done it? Mo said that he took care of the Meng Wang family, and even sent a letter to Twelve Lang to avoid people.

It seems that they also know that they can't act in a good way, but they can't control the greed in their hearts after all.

If he hadn't been ruthless in sending Meng Qinghai to Daning to guard, I'm afraid things would have been even worse. Thinking of his father and mother who sighed at home all day, Meng Qingjiang's heart was as hard as iron.

It's not that he is unfilial, it's just that Meng Qinghai colluded with unidentified people to lure the unmotivated children of the clan to run rampant in the township, and then instigated the clansmen to occupy the fertile land in Lizhong, and this behavior must not be tolerated.

Even if he didn't come forward, he made the situation inside the Meng clan and outsiders clear, and he couldn't condone it!

If it hadn't been broken by itself, God knows how serious it would have been. He who is also in Shuntian Mansion is still hidden to death, not to mention Twelve Lang who is far away in Nanjing!

Thinking of this, Meng Qingjiang immediately clenched his fists and accidentally pulled the scabbed wound on his arm. I only hate myself for not being able to catch the person who communicated with Meng Qinghai secretly! Otherwise, why would Twelve Lang risk his life and go to Jinyi Prison!

What kind of place is that, when you go in, you have to peel off the skin!

Compared with the various actions of the people, Meng Qingjiang is not worth it!

Controlling his emotions, Meng Qingjiang led the horse to the door, knocked on the knocker three times, and said loudly: "Aunt Liu, Shilang will see you!" ”

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps from inside the door, and it was not Fifth Sister Meng who opened the door, but Third Sister Meng who combed the woman's head.

"Uncle Sitang, come in!"

Third Sister Meng's expression was anxious, but there was joy, and her eyes were faintly red.

Meng Qingjiang thought that it was because he brought back the news from Nanjing, and when he walked into the hall, he was stunned.

Meng Wangshi sat on the circle chair and kept wiping his tears with Meng Xu, but he couldn't hold back and didn't dare to cry.

A man in a leather jacket and a sheep-smell man knelt on the ground with his head down, not making a sound, and his figure was stiff. Meng Zhangshi slapped the man's shoulder and back, and Meng Wujie knelt beside the man, crying silently.

"Aunt Six, what is this?"

Hearing Meng Qingjiang's voice, the man kneeling on the ground turned his head, his temples were already white, his face was full of wind and frost, and he was as old as half a hundred years old. His facial features were inexplicably familiar, combined with the reactions of Meng Wang's and others, Meng Qingjiang was taken aback, "You, you are Jiulang?!" ”
