Soon, there was no need to be tortured, Zhou Yinger was enlightened by Bao Xi and bowed her head to confess. Du Sansheng immediately led people to dig up 200,000 hidden money under a large locust tree that had been struck by lightning in the western suburbs.

Wrapped in oiled paper and put into a jar, paved with hay, coupled with the lack of rain and dryness in winter, the copper coin was as new as the first cast, and there was almost no rust, and even the money strings woven by the decayed clothes and grass were good.

Obviously, Zhou Ying'er didn't lie before, he was so carefully prepared, and he was indeed ready to come back privately in the future. Birds fly back to their hometowns, foxes die on the hills, birds and beasts are still difficult to leave their homeland, let alone people?

With a wave of his hand, Du Sansheng deducted 50,000 yuan, took out 20,000 yuan and rewarded it to his subordinates, and handed over the rest to the county government's treasury. He thinks he loves money, but who in the world doesn't love money? As long as you take it in the right way, give one to the top, share one to the bottom, and keep another one for yourself, it is not a loss of conscience!

After Gu Yunshengtang's interrogation, he listened to Bao Xi's opinion and sentenced Zhou Ying'er to ten years in prison, eighty strokes of the cane, confiscation of all family property, and his wife and son were relegated to slavery for the crime of fraudulently obtaining money. Zhou Ying'er received Bao Xi's assurance, but begged to save her life, if she was lucky in the future, she would be able to see the light of day again in case of amnesty, but she kept her mouth shut and did not confess He's affairs in court.

As for Su Tang, although she is a bitter master, she ignores the law of the country because of small profits, and Gu Yunnian is ignorant and deceived by others, so she is dealt with lightly, fined 5,000 yuan to set an example, and after being reprimanded in court, she returned the 350,000 yuan that was defrauded, and ordered the Li Zheng of Xicheng to strictly control it.

Back in Jingyuan, Su Tang wanted to take out 50,000 yuan as a reward, and said: "I also know that this money is not as good as Lang Jun's kindness, but now I have the heart to be powerless, so I can make another picture in the future." ”

Xu You declined and said with a smile: "You and I met because of Zhou Ying'er, and it can be regarded as a rare encounter, talking about money is too vulgar, is it possible to eat a lot of cakes from the embroidery girl, and also count the money for the girl?" ”

"It's me who lost my word! Lang Jun is elegant and elegant, has the style of ancient benevolence, and has little money, so he has not polluted Lang Jun's dusty temperament. ”

"They are all people in the world, where do they come from with a dusty temperament, the girl has an overreputation!" Sycophants can be passed down for thousands of years with such a technical job, because no matter whether it is true or not, you will feel relaxed and happy when you hear it, Xu You groaned for a while, and said: "There is a sentence that may be shallow and deep, I don't know, should I say it or not?" “

"Lang Jun, please speak up! Listen to the female brother! Su Tang's eyes were full of the unique enthusiasm of a girl, staring at Xu You seriously, which made people's hearts skip a beat.

"You are alone, it is not easy to run a family, and there is no special money to make a living at the moment, it is better to find a house earlier, buy some fields, and plan for the long term." Xu You Zhengse said: "I'm not driving you away, it's just that people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries......"

Su Tang raised the corners of his eyebrows, and the gentle face of the Jiangnan woman actually revealed a bit of the clarity and determination of the northern snow, interrupted Xu You's words, and said, "What Lang Jun taught!" house, field, and then find another man to marry? From now on, can you sit back and relax, teach your husband and children, and join hands with your head? ”

Xu You sighed, reasoning with a woman is undoubtedly self-inflicted, not to mention the deep words, he is not a talkative person, and he is not interested in debating with her the difference between dependence and independent spirit, he raised his hands on his chest to make a surrender form, and said: "The girl does not let the woman have her eyebrows, she has her own plans for everything, I take back what I just said!" ”

"I know Lang Jun's kindness!"

Maybe Xu You's behavior was too funny, Su Tang suddenly reined in his edge, pursed his lips and smiled, bowed down, and said, "There is Lao Langjun to worry about!" However, although I am a woman and have nothing to do, it is not difficult to settle down in Qiantang. As for the house, I will let my sister find it tomorrow, and it will not be delayed for a few days. It's just that if you want to listen to Lang Jun's teachings again, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. ”

Su Tang lived in Jingyuan for more than a month, and Xu You had only met twice, and he almost quarreled without saying a few words, no matter how he didn't dare to have any more so-called teachings, he stood up, arched his hand, and sent off the guest: "The girl is precious!" ”

Three days later, Su Tang found a good house and moved out, and to Xu You's surprise, this house was located directly opposite Jingyuan. The two houses are separated by a wide brocade stream, and more than 30 steps to the west, there is a stone bridge across it, which allows pedestrians to go back and forth on both sides. After the autumn equinox went to the door, he came back and said that it was a two-entry house, which was three or four times smaller than Jingyuan, and there was no garden for appreciation, no rockery stone carvings, and no place to pay attention to the pattern. It seems that the outer room of a certain eunuch's family was kept here, and when he moved to Fuzheng in Wu County in the middle of the year, the house was vacant, and it was not sold because of the relatively high asking price.

"How much?"

"I heard Sister Fang say that it costs 100,000 yuan!"

Xu You no longer knows the price level of Chu State, and he also understands that this price is indeed too high, no wonder he is still looking for someone to take over after hanging for half a year, who wants to buy it, either a fool or a fool.

Su Tang didn't look like a stupid and stupid person, Xu You was very surprised, and said, "Why did she buy such a house?" ”

Frost wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, his face was flushed, and he said: "Maybe it has something to do with Xiaolang's words that day......"

"What?"

Xu You almost forgot what he said to Su Tang, Lu Shuang looked at his face, boldly, and said: "Xiaolang said that she was not careful enough to live her life, and she spent money like running water, but she didn't buy a farmhouse...... Oh, and said that she should get married early......"

Xu You shouted: "Heaven and earth can be learned, when did I say such a thing?" Let her save some money and buy a farm house to settle down, this is there! Marryable ...... Do I care if she marries or not? She said this sentence herself, how did it come to my head? ”

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and Xiaolang doesn't know!" Frost said softly: "Miss Su is arrogant, and she even calls herself a female brother on the worship post, but it can be seen that she is a character who does not admit defeat and does not accept fate, and deliberately lives on the opposite side, I am afraid it is for Xiaolang to see......"

"Show me?" Xu You couldn't cry or laugh, this is a good intention, who did he provoke?

"I guess I want Xiaolang to see with his own eyes that she Su Tang doesn't have to get married or be thrifty, she can live a good life!"

"Ambitious!"

Xu You praised it, and put this matter behind him, what he needed to care about was Zhu Fayan, who was about to preside over the foundation laying ceremony of Dade Temple in Qiantang County.

After nearly two months of preparation and a long journey, dozens of monks sent by the six families and seven sects of Buddhism finally entered Yangzhou, and carried out a locust-like division according to the amount and location allocated in advance. Almost overnight, the huge Yangzhou has changed from the dominance of the Heavenly Master Dao to a new situation in which Buddhism and Taoism are equally divided.

And Zhu Fayan, nicknamed the black-clothed prime minister, the master of the sect Zhu Daorong's personal disciple, in the Shamen position prominently, by him personally came to Qiantang, presided over the construction of the Dade Temple, indicating Zhu Daorong's determination to promote the development of Buddhism in Yangzhou.

Zuo Yan and He Wei came back from outside, the weather was cold as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and goose feathers and heavy snow began to float again, Zuo Yan had deep internal strength, and his complexion could still remain ruddy, and He Wei's face had frozen into blue.

"So cold? Come and warm up on the fire! ”

When the room was built, there was a fire wall for heating, but burning wood was also a physical work, and Jingyuan lacked servants, so it could only simply use a brazier to burn charcoal, and in order to prevent poisoning, a small window should be opened for ventilation, so the warmth effect was not very ideal.

"Holy...... It's getting colder and colder every day, and the snow in the rice fields is getting a little thicker, and if it doesn't stop, if it doesn't stop, once it lodging, this year's harvest will be bad! ”

Zuo Yan was a military position in the Yuan family, but he also dealt with the tenants in the manor, and knew a little about farming. Due to the early arrival of this winter, the autumn rice is about 15 days later than in previous years, and this will be the harvest season, and the snow will be thicker, and the progress and cost of harvesting will increase proportionally, spreading to the common people, and may cause large-scale panic and riots.

Xu You didn't know much about farming, and asked, "Winter snow has come twice, and almost half of the rice fields have not been harvested, is this situation common?" ”

"Very little! Usually around October 15th, that is, the Xia Yuan Festival, Shuiguan Du'e began to harvest, and by now it should have been beaten and dusted, and sealed in the urn. ”

Xu You became sensitive, frowned, and said, "Will there be a famine?" ”

Zuo Yan actually didn't know anything about it, and hesitated: "It shouldn't be, right?" The one-year-old harvest failure has little impact, and even if there are a small number of hungry people, the government will calm down, and there will never be a large-scale famine! ”

Xu You looked at He Wei, he thought for a while, and said: "Since the failure of the three Northern Expeditions, Anzidao military vehicles are not used, the people are not foreign laborers, the service is simple, and the hooligans are prosperous, it has been more than 20 years. The folk surplus grain inhabits the acres, and the households do not sleep at night, which can be regarded as the prosperity of the north and south poles, and has not been seen in a hundred years. As Fenghu said, one-year-old hunger will never have much impact. ”

"That's good!" Xu You no longer thought about this question and said, "Have you seen Zhu Fayan?" ”

"That monk has set up a lotus platform outside Yuanyang Jinglu, entrenched above 10,000 people, and there are more than 100 disciples around it, it's really hard not to see it!" He Wei was sarcastic, but his eyes were full of smiles, and he said: "Zhu Daorong simply wanted to make Sun Guan angry to death, and he actually chose Yuanyang Jinglu as the site of Dade Temple, and made it clear that he wanted to humiliate Heavenly Master Dao fiercely!" Ha, interesting, really interesting! ”

"Laugh if you want, don't hold back your illness!" Xu You couldn't do anything about him, after all, the more powerful the Buddha Dao fight, the more turbulent the situation in the Chu State became, and said, "What did Zhu Fayan say?" ”

"I said a lot, all of them are the set of demagogic nonsense of Buddhism, and there is only one key sentence: the white snake was originally the most holy, was killed by the thief, and became a demon with resentment, he built the Dade Temple with compassion, not only to suppress the demon and eliminate the demon, but also to save the white snake to be reborn!"

Xu You smiled slightly, his expression was cold, and he said lightly: "It's good rhetoric, but it's also so domineering!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he pointed to whoever was a demon, and even a dead snake became a demon! ”
