Three days later, outside the gate of the Xiao Mansion, early in the morning, the people of the Xiao family, under the command of Deng Jiu, were busy carrying things to the five big carriages that were parked.

"Hurry up, Miss Four will set off in a while, when a big thing happens, none of us can afford it, hurry up." Deng Jiu shouted, and even stepped forward to check next to a carriage.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxuan walked out of the mansion.

Today she wore a purple chrysanthemum-colored Russell skirt, a silver rabbit skin cloak on her shoulders, an inky green silk, and a favorite moon-moon bun, which was only decorated with a red jade plum hairpin.

She looked peaceful, and was lined by the heavy snow, which made her more and more icy and snowy, and she was proudly independent.

As soon as Deng Jiu saw Xiao Jinxuan coming out, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Fourth Miss, you get into the carriage first, and when I count it, you can set off, but you really don't need me to accompany you?" ”

Xiao Jinxuan smiled, shook her head and said: "I went to the Yin Yamen this time, if it was just me, it would only represent my personal meaning, and you have followed your father for decades, if you go, others will definitely say that it was instructed by your father, and it will not be beautiful at that time." ”

Although Xiao Heng agreed to use military rations, Xiao Jinxuan knew that he also had concerns, and the most worried was Song Peng, an old political enemy for many years.

This worry is not unreasonable, if you don't settle this Yangzhou parent official first, disaster relief and grain release will be empty talk.

But she had to facilitate this matter, knowing that Xiao Heng and the others thought that she had made this proposal for the sake of the reputation of the Xiao family and the people of the whole city.

In fact, Xiao Jinxuan is also selfish, she pities these refugees, but at the same time, she also wants to use this disaster relief to enhance her reputation and reputation.

Only in this way can she be valued by the Marshal's Mansion when she returns to Beijing, and no one dares to influence her life easily.

And only when her prestige comes up, can she have the qualifications to compete with Xiao Jinyu, who is known as the Jingshi Immortal, otherwise she has no power and no support, how can she win or lose with this sister-in-law.

Therefore, it is imperative for her to do the matter of disaster relief and grain release, and even after she left Zhuangzi and returned to Xiaofu, she has been planning this matter, and now that the snow disaster is coming, she naturally can't let go of this opportunity.

Since Song Peng is destined to be an obstacle, she thinks about it, if she waits for the other party to make a move, it is better for her to take the initiative to meet it, and hit the other party by surprise first.

When she got into the carriage, Xiao Jinxuan called Wen Xin to her and said, "Don't go with me yet, help me run errands." ”

Saying that, she took out the black tiger token from her arms and handed it to her by Xiao Heng, and then whispered to Wen Xin for a long time, then turned around and got into the carriage.

Because of the snow disaster, Yangzhou City, which has always been prosperous, is now also a depressed street, and even the Yamen of Fuyin is closed, showing a desolate state.

Xiao Jinxuan was helped out of the carriage by Baizhu, walked to the front of the yamen, and then said to Zhuxin on the side: "Go, beat the drum." ”

Zhu Xin nodded, although she was nervous, she still walked towards the drum, just when she was bold and about to beat the drum, Xiao Jinxuan stopped her.

"Instead of beating the drum of injustice, go and hit the drum on the left."

Her tone was extremely calm, but her words instantly frightened Zhuxin and Baizhu.

You must know that the Great Zhou Dynasty has a system, and all local yamen will have a drum on the left and right, one side is the drum of Tongtian, and the other side is the drum of grievances.

If ordinary people have grievances and want to complain, they will beat the drum of grievances.

And the drum of heaven, as the name suggests, is the meaning of going straight to the heavenly court, and the sky refers to the son of heaven.

In the past 100 years in Yangzhou, this drum has sounded twice, once Beirong came to attack ten years ago, and Fu Yin personally beat the drum, and the drum resounded throughout the city to evacuate the people.

The other time was in ****** 50 years ago, when refugees rioted, beating the drums of the sky, killing officials, and forcing the people to rebel.

Now, Xiao Jinxuan is even going to beat the drum of Tongtian, how can she not be frightened by the two of them, their hands and feet are cold, and they are trembling all over.

But after half a ring, Zhuxin gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Miss let me hit that, the big deal is death, my Zhuxin can beat the drum once in my life, and it is not a loss." ”

Zhuxin has an upright temperament, plus she is ruthless, not to mention that the young lady is not afraid, how can she embarrass Xiao Jinxuan.

Thinking so, she picked up the drumstick, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she struck it on the drum with all her strength.

And in fact, this will, don't look at the Yin Yamen, the door is closed, in fact, in this back hall, Song Pengzheng and the six princes, Ji Lingfeng, are talking with a spring breeze on their faces.

I saw Song Peng rushing at Ji Lingfeng, and arched his hand and said: "Gongzi is worthy of being favored by His Royal Highness Er, the person who is fancied, sure enough, both civil and military, scheming, a few rumors, it stinks the Xiao Mansion, and forced Xiao Heng to return to the barracks, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for the New Year." ”

A few people laughed again, and then they heard Ji Lingfeng say confidently: "Xiao Heng does have military power, but in the end, he is a reckless man, and he is easy to deal with him, so he can't be praised by Lord Song like this." ”

And the sixth prince frowned and said: "Do you notice it, that Xiao Heng's fourth daughter seems to be a little different, that **** dares to borrow a sword from my fifth brother, and you are speechless when you force Lord Song, I am really worried that she will do bad things." ”

When Ji Lingfeng heard this, the purple-clothed figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth smiled unconsciously.

Then he said softly: "Last time I called the sixth prince, in the name of suppression, I sent a gift, and the fourth lady didn't accept it, women, they are all short-sighted, if she wants to be an enemy of us, how can she accept the gift, not to mention that I don't believe she has that ability." ”

In Ji Lingfeng's heart, women are just playthings, tools used by men to reproduce offspring, although that Xiao Jinxuan does have some intelligence, it also brings him a very different feeling, and even in the Song Mansion, he was designed by the other party, which made him lose face.

But a woman is a woman, if the other party will harm him, Ji Lingfeng doesn't think that Xiao Jinxuan has this ability.

When the six princes heard this, they felt that it made sense. So he said another thing: "The spies came to report that the seventh brother had already gone to investigate those private salt mills, and if he really asked him to bring back the evidence, I am afraid it would not be good." ”

Ji Lingfeng snorted, and said with a flash in his eyes: "Sixth Highness, don't worry, I have already made arrangements over there, knowing that the imperial king has the highest martial arts among the princes, how can I take it lightly." As long as he dares to go, I will tell him to go and never return. ”

After hearing this, the sixth prince nodded with satisfaction, he still remembered that the other party beat him in public and vomited blood.

If Zhou Xianyu has a good thing, his evil breath will also be calculated.

Even if this person who is being calculated is his half-brother, the sixth prince will not feel the slightest guilt.

The children who grew up in the palace, who have not grown up in calculations since they were young, either you kill others, or wait for others to kill you.

Song Peng said again at this time: "If the royal king solves it, then only King Rui will be left, and I don't know what Ji Gongzi's plan is." ”

Ji Lingfeng had already planned in his heart, smiled confidently, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by an earth-shattering drum beat.

The three people in the room were puzzled, and it wasn't until the drum sounded a few times that Song Peng slapped his thigh, stood up and said: "It's Tongtian Drum, who is so bold, come here, quickly ascend to the hall, quickly ascend to the hall." ”

The drum is made of a special one, once it is beaten, it can be heard all over the city, although it is cold outside, but the sudden drum sound still attracts a lot of people to watch.

At this time, the door of the government also opened, and the two officials walked out quickly, stepped forward to take down the bamboo heart, and scolded in their mouths: "Where did you come from, crazy woman, you dare to knock on this heavenly drum, don't you think your life is long." ”

After speaking, one of the officials waved his hand to hit the bamboo heart, but was stopped by Xiao Jinxuan with a loud shout. "If you dare to touch my people, you must also ask me if the Xiao family agrees."

As soon as her voice fell, more than 20 family members who came with her immediately surrounded them, directly surrounding the two officials in the center, and looked at them with warnings on their faces.

Just when these two officials were shocked and didn't dare to move. Song Peng also arrived.

Seeing him, after seeing the situation in front of him, he immediately shouted angrily: "Who is so presumptuous, in front of the government office, it is also a place for you to spread wild." ”

After saying this, Song Peng saw with sharp eyes, the familiar purple figure, and secretly screamed in his heart, it turned out to be a member of the Xiao family, and he knew that today he was afraid that the other party was not good.

Xiao Jinxuan naturally saw Song Peng, and saw that she was not polite, so she sneered and said: "This drum is set up here, is it possible that it looks good, why is it wild when I beat the drum, is it that Lord Song wants to cover the sky with one hand, and does not allow this drum to go straight to heaven?" ”

Today, Xiao Jinxuan was already holding it, and if she didn't suppress the other party, she didn't wave her hands, so she always sought victory with stability, but she came up aggressive, in order to suppress the other party first in terms of momentum, so that it would be more beneficial to her.

Song Peng was also stunned, but he didn't expect Xiao Jinxuan to not even say a kind word, and when he came up, he alluded to him, blinded the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and did not allow the voice of the people to pass on the heavenly court.

was annoyed in his heart, but Song Peng had been an official for many years, and he didn't say a few words, which made him confused.

Seeing that he suppressed his anger, he changed his words, and said with a smile: "Niece of the Xiao family, your anger is too big, I know, your sister-in-law was adulterous with others a while ago, I told a few words of truth, but you can't hold a grudge against me because of this, come to this yamen to mess around, go back quickly, I will not care about you for the sake of your father's face." ”

Song Peng's eyes exuded a vicious light, no matter why the other party came today, it was definitely not good.

Then he will take the lead and pull the other party's intentions to personal grievances.

The reputation of the Xiao family is now very unbearable, there is a concubine who is in harmony with others, and now there is another concubine, a wild concubine, if this matter is really confirmed, Xiao Heng has no way to teach the daughter, and the Xiao family's filthy reputation will never be able to get rid of it.

At that time, he was playing a joint performance with all civil officials, even if Xiao Heng did not lose his position, he was determined to be disgusted by Emperor Ming, thinking that his family style was not good, which would be a great benefit to Song Peng.

In Song Peng's eyes, Xiao Jinxuan is a yellow-haired little girl, and when she saw the people around her, she began to be full of anger and pointed at the Xiao family.

He wants to see what kind of waves she can set off even if this fourth young lady is good at speaking, but now that the people are disgusted with the Xiao family, what waves can she set off.
