Shen Bai thought that Gu Hengzhou would have to think about it all night before he could digest what he said, but before he went to sleep, Gu Hengzhou came to the North Courtyard in person, and personally carried Shen Bai back to the East Courtyard under the surprised eyes of Murong Xuan and Xuanyin.

After entering the door, Gu Hengzhou didn't speak, and directly took off Shen Bai's shoes and stuffed her into the quilt, but it was not the bed, it was still the desk she slept on last night.

After doing all this, Gu Hengzhou directly blew out the oil lamp, returned to bed and fell asleep, and had no intention of talking to Shen Bai from beginning to end.

Shen Bai deliberately tossed for a while, not causing Gu Hengzhou to speak, but tossing himself hot, sweating and almost falling off the desk.

Shen Bai was startled, and finally settled down and fell asleep deeply.

The next day, Shen Bai got up late again, and when he woke up, Gu Hengzhou was not in the house. The quilt was neatly folded, as if I hadn't slept on it at all last night.

Shen Bai walked out of the room, cleaned up his messy quilt briefly, walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, and the Praetorian Guards guarding outside immediately said: "Young Master Shen woke up, and his subordinates immediately asked someone to send hot water to wash Young Master Shen, and the kitchen boiled meat porridge, and sent it to Young Master Shen later." “

Shen Bai's eyes roamed around the courtyard, but he didn't see Gu Hengzhou, his eyebrows raised slightly, the Praetorian Guards understood, and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has taken people to inspect the Mozhou Captain's Camp in the morning, His Royal Highness has to stay in Mozhou for a while, so many Janissaries can't stay at the post station all the time, His Royal Highness the Prince wants to borrow the camp tent of the Mozhou Captain's Camp for a purpose." “

Shen Bai nodded and gave the Praetorian Guard an appreciative look.

In the end, she was on an errand in the palace, and her eyesight was good, and she didn't need to speak to know what she wanted to ask.

Shen Bai returned to the room. After washing up slowly, eating meat porridge and drinking the medicine, he walked towards the front hall with his hands behind his back.

Murong Xuan was already sitting in the front hall, and Wei Xun was also there, Murong Xuan was a person who couldn't hide his mood, his face was full of hostility, like a big wolf dog that would jump up and bite Wei Xun at any time.

However, Wei Xun didn't take Murong Xuan seriously, this was the state capital, and he was his people inside and out. Could he still offend this teenage boy?

Shen Bai walked into the front hall, Wei Xun drank tea and asked with a smile, "Did Lord Shen sleep well last night?" What are you going to do today? “

Shen Bai walked over, dipped the tea he had just taken a sip of, and wrote on the table: Today, Lord Ben will personally recruit volunteers in the city, and I ask Lord Wei to lend me the master and the servants.

Wei Xun said with fake worry: "Lord Shen just had an unpleasant quarrel with those Diao people in the city the day before yesterday, and he has to recruit workers in person today, what if something happens?" “

Shen Baiman didn't care, and wrote directly: The sage has words, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountain. This is the courage that a brave man should have, how can Lord Ben ignore the well-being of the people of the entire Mozhou City because of a small conflict?

Shen Bai vividly interpreted the sentence "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", and Wei Xun immediately gave a flattering thumbs up and praised: "Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, Lord Shen has such courage at a young age, which really makes the lower officials admire!" “

Shen Bai accepted the praise with a smug face, Murong Xuan was disgusted by the false flattery of the two, and asked Shen Bai with a frown: "It's not early, and the adults don't plan to go out yet?" “

Shen Bai just didn't want to talk to Wei Xunxu anymore, so he turned his head and hooked Murong Xuan's chin and picked it. With a tilt of his head, he motioned for him to go out with him.

Wei Xun asked people to prepare a carriage, Shen Bai directly asked the coachman to go to the city gate, and first took a note for Murong Xuan, Murong Xuan opened it and looked at it, it said: Recruit people in a while, you help Lord Ben shout.

Murong Xuan frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why should I help you shout?" Am I??"

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows: What are you?

Murong Xuan opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

He still didn't believe Shen Bai in the end, so he couldn't say the sentence "I am the fifth prince of Nanxiang Kingdom" in front of Shen Bai.

Shen Bai seemed to have anticipated what his reaction would be, and took out another note, which read: Master won't let you shout in vain, don't you want to take revenge? You have to be involved in it to have the pleasure of revenge.

Murong Xuan was skeptical, unsure of the inevitable connection between revenge and shouting on the street.

Shen Bai thought about it for himself, and waited in the carriage for a while, and the master and the two officials came on horseback, and the two officials were more experienced. He also brought a gong to attract everyone.

The three of them dismounted together and saluted Shen Bai first, and then Shen Bai took Murong Xuan out of the car and went to the open space next to the city gate together.

The master said to Shen Bai: "Lord Shen, if the master wants to announce anything in the city before, he will first post a notice on the city wall, and then the official will beat the gong and read it to everyone, and then move on to the next step after everyone fully understands the content of the notice.

Shen Bai smiled, raised his hand, and motioned to the master to follow the previous steps, and the master said suspiciously: "When I went out, the master didn't give a notice to his subordinates, does Lord Shen want to use the notice posted before or is there another preparation?" “

Shen Bai naturally had other preparations, she nodded, and took out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve pocket in front of her master and handed it to Murong Xuan.

The master asked the official to stop the gong and looked at Murong Xuan, waiting for him to read out what was written on Shen Bai's piece of paper.

Murong Xuan's face was quite ugly, he covered his face with paper, and secretly ripped Shen Bai, Shen Bai didn't look at him, he smiled, and looked at the people around him with special kindness. It seems that she is the parent official of Mozhou.

The crowd waited for a while and didn't see anything lively and began to whisper, and the master also felt that he had waited a little long, so he urged in a low voice: "This son, since Lord Shen gave you something, aren't you happy to read it?" “

The people's discussion became louder and louder, and the crowd didn't know who suddenly said: "Isn't this Lord Qincha and his male pet from Beijing?" Could it be that this male pet made a mistake, and Lord Qincha punished him for reading the confession in front of everyone, right? “

You are the male pet, and your whole family is a male pet!

Murong Xuan was so angry that he put down the piece of paper and glared viciously in the direction where the sound came from, and the people standing there were so frightened by his eyes that they took a few steps back, and the others also lowered their voices and waited to watch the show.

Shen Bai twisted Murong Xuan's arm, and Murong Xuan reluctantly read it: "Fathers and fellow villagers in Mozhou, hello everyone!" “

"Good!"

The master suddenly shouted and took the lead in applauding.

The onlookers looked indifferent, and the already embarrassing and delicate atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Murong Xuan glared at his master, and said loudly: "Three days later, the imperial court will blow up the mountain and repair the canal to control the flood that has plagued Mozhou for a hundred years, which will be a good thing for the benefit of tens of thousands of people and the blessing of future generations, every household in the city has a healthy man over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty, at least one man will bring his own tools to participate in the canal repair project, the court will register the names of the participants, and then set up a 10,000-person monument next to the canal in the future, engrave your name, and let your name go down in history!" “

Carving a monument to leave a name has always been a privilege that only the powerful and the very famous sages can have, and the poor people may not even have a tombstone after death. How can you come across a good thing that will go down in history?

After Murong Xuan finished speaking, the crowd was a little commotion, and the master was also shocked, and just wanted to ask Shen Bai if he had reported this matter to the emperor, Shen Bai raised his hand to stop it, signaling him not to speak in a hurry.

The crowd was too noisy, Murong Xuan stopped and didn't continue reading, and after a while, someone asked, "Is there nothing else except for the inscription of the monument?" “

In fact, he wanted to ask if there was any salary. But asking in front of so many people inevitably seems too mercenary, so you can only ask in this euphemistic way.

This question was expected by Shen Bai, Murong Xuan glanced at Shen Bai, and replied according to the words written on the paper: "This question is a good question, although this is a matter for the benefit of one party, but the imperial court will not let your hard work be in vain, anyone who participates in the canal repair project, during the construction of the canal, the imperial court will provide you with three meals a day." Guaranteed meat, pastries and hot tea after the meal. “

Just three meals a day? That's too picky, isn't it?

Someone questioned: "Didn't the prince of Zhenguo just escort the disaster relief money to Mozhou a few days ago?" On the day I entered the city, I saw that there were seven or eight carts of disaster relief money, at least several thousand taels of silver, and you asked us to do day labor, what were these disaster relief funds used for? “

On the day Gu Hengzhou entered the city, many people saw it, and when they heard this, they immediately echoed it, and looked at Shen Bai as if they had seen a heinous corrupt official.

There are only two officials here. If the crowd is angry and makes trouble, let alone protect Shen Bai, the master and the two officials will be unable to protect themselves, and the master hurriedly asked the officials to sound the gong to suppress the noise of these people, and scolded loudly: "What are you doing!" Want to rebel, don't you? Lord Qincha is here to treat the floods in Mozhou, do you want to be flooded every year? “

The master still has a little prestige in the city on weekdays, and the onlookers are quieter, Murong Xuan cleared his throat and continued: "The Weizhou Mansion reported to the imperial court that the flood was serious this time, and it washed away hundreds of acres of fertile land. There are hundreds of houses, there are thousands of displaced people, the imperial court urgently allocated disaster relief funds and ordered His Royal Highness the Prince to personally escort them to come to the disaster relief, these silver will naturally be used to clean up the fertile land, repair the houses, and shelter the displaced people. I'm afraid that I have to ask the rich gentry and merchants in the city to donate a little more money. “

As soon as Murong Xuan's words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. A cold sweat broke out on the master's back, and he subconsciously wanted to snatch the piece of paper in Murong Xuan's hand to see if there was anything that could not be said on it, Murong Xuan lifted the piece of paper high, sideways and flexibly avoided it, the master pounced in the air, almost fell and ate, and the crowd burst into laughter.

Then some people questioned even louder: "What washed away hundreds of houses on 100 acres of fertile land?" This flood is not much smaller than the flood at the beginning of summer, although Hong Feng entered the city, but it retreated in one day, and did not cause any major losses, and it is too exaggerated for Lord Wei to present this fold. “

"That's it, it is also said that there are thousands of displaced people, and the officials who give porridge outside the city only boil two pots of rice porridge every day, and even the beggars in the city are not enough to eat, if there are really thousands of displaced people, wouldn't they starve to death thousands of people?"

The master was covered in cold sweat, he never expected that Shen Bai would let Murong Xuan read out the content of the recital in front of so many people, his status was low, he didn't dare to say that Shen Bai was not, he could only yell at those people: "What Lord Qincha says is what it is, when will it be your turn to speak?" Now that those disaster relief funds have been allocated, they will naturally be used for people's livelihood construction, what do you know besides staring at the three meals a day on your desk!? “

As soon as the master roared like this, everyone quieted down all of a sudden, and Shen Bai smiled at the corner of his lips, still looking unfazed, Murong Xuan hesitated and then read: "Your Majesty is far away in Hanjing, and I don't know what the situation is in Mozhou. Lord Wei has been the prefect of Mozhou for many years, and is the parent official of Mozhou, and the recital he presented is for the sake of the people of Mozhou, that is, what is the error, there must be his own considerations, everyone does not need to say much, it is better to go back and communicate with each other, and actively respond to the call of the imperial court. “

There was only so much on the paper, and Murong Xuan folded the paper and put it in his arms after reading it.

The crowd was silent for a long time, and only after a while did someone ask, "Lord Qincha, does each household have to produce a man?" “

Shen Bai shook his head and handed another note to Murong Xuan, who replied after reading it: "No, this notice just lets everyone know that there is something to do, as for whether everyone does it or not, it is all voluntary." “

Hearing that it was all voluntary, everyone was secretly relieved, and it was clear that Wei Xun, the state capital, lied about the disaster situation and defrauded the imperial court of disaster relief. Now that the disaster relief funds have been swallowed by him alone, but the manual work has to be done in vain by the ordinary people, who wants to be this wronged leader?

Everything that should be said was said, Shen Bai took Murong Xuan through the crowd and returned to the carriage first, and the master added with the official pretend: "You all remember what Lord Qincha just said, and tell the people around you when you go back, if you are willing, you will go to the state government to sign up for the past two days, do you hear?" “

The crowd responded twice and then dispersed. The master came to the carriage and knocked on the window, Shen Bai opened the curtain and poked his head out, and the master said worriedly: "Lord Shen, these people have low vision, they are all poor ghosts who see money, if they are asked to sign up voluntarily, I am afraid that they will not be willing." “

Shen Bai smiled and shook his head indifferently. It seems to be saying that the master is too worried.

Seeing this, the master no longer persuaded him, watched the carriage leave, and then rode back to the state capital to tell Wei Xun what had just happened.

Shen Bai let the carriage go around the city, went to the ready-to-wear shop to pick up the clothes he had customized for Xiaoqiu before, and helped Gu Hengzhou buy two ready-made clothes before going back slowly.

Murong Xuan in the car kept staring at Shen Bai, as if he suddenly didn't know Shen Bai.

Shen Bai looked at him, put the two clothes he bought for Gu Hengzhou on his lap, and wondered what Gu Hengzhou would look like if he wore these two clothes, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

When he was about to arrive at the state capital, Murong Xuan finally couldn't help but ask Shen Bai: "How do you know that someone will ask these questions?" “

Shen Bai gave him the piece of paper and calculated everyone's reactions in it, as if he had predicted what would happen today in advance.

Murong Xuan used to think that Shen Bai was just a gentleman with a dragon impotence fetish, but today's incident completely broke his perception of Shen Bai.

The surname Shen didn't seem to be as useless as he thought.

Shen Bai knew that Murong Xuan was prejudiced against him, rolled his eyes, raised his hand and poked his head.

Brother, do you think everyone is the same as you? The master has more eyes, if you want to play scheming with the master, you must not even know how you died.

Shen Bai didn't say anything, but the thoughts in his heart were clearly transmitted to Murong Xuan through that white eye.

Murong Xuan choked. Just as he was about to argue with Shen Bai, the coachman took the reins of his horse and reminded: "My lord, it's here." “

Shen Bai raised his chin and motioned for Murong Xuan to get out of the carriage first, and then jumped out of the carriage with his clothes in his arms.

The two walked into the gate of the state capital together, and as soon as they bypassed the big stone screen at the door, they saw Wei Xun coming angrily.

Shen Bai was not afraid, and he rushed up to meet him unhurriedly, Wei Xun rushed to the front and asked through gritted teeth: "Lord Shen, the fold is presented to His Majesty by officials and courtiers from all over the country, and it is a secret of the state, how can you publicize the content of the fold in front of the street?" If your majesty knows, do you know what you should be guilty of? “

The master has already told Wei Xun everything that happened on the street, Wei Xun's anger has already jumped to Tianling Gai'er, if it weren't for Gu Hengzhou's still in Mozhou, I am afraid that he will act directly regardless of Shen Bai's identity.

This Shen Bai, at a young age, is really scheming, and with such a move, he directly let the people of the entire Mozhou City know that he exaggerated the disaster situation and defrauded the disaster relief money.

If Shen Bai sues up, the prime minister can still help him intercept and cover up, but there are so many people in Mozhou City, will he kill all of them?

The mouth of Youyou can't be stopped, this spread is ten or ten, and it may be spread to Hanjing at some point, and his reputation in Mozhou will also be ruined.

The more Wei Xun thought about it, the more angry he became, but Shen Bai still opened his eyes and looked innocent. It didn't seem to know what Wei Xun was talking about.

Wei Xun was so angry that his teeth hurt, and he said hatefully: "Things are like this, Lord Shen should stop pretending to be innocent, those disaster relief funds were personally escorted by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and they were also guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and the lower officials didn't even have a chance to open the box, Lord Shen ruined the reputation of the lower officials in front of the people today, but these days, the lower officials have a place to be sorry for Young Master Shen?" “

Shen Bai shook his head vigorously, his expression was not only innocent, but also full of doubts, not understanding why Wei Xun would say such a thing.

Wei Xun had nowhere to vent his anger, and his internal organs hurt, but Shen Bai said to Murong Xuan, who was standing aside and watching the excitement: "Xia Guan recently found out that this person named Ah Xuan is not from Mozhou, the origin is unknown, it is very likely that he came from Yue Xi, it is not safe for this person to stay with Lord Shen, and I ask Lord Shen to hand him over to Xia Guan for disposal!" “

Wei Xun's attitude was quite tough. He was not discussing with Shen Bai at all, but he wanted to blatantly rob people, Shen Bai frowned slightly, and he felt strange, Gu Hengzhou's cold voice sounded behind him: "There is still a Yuanfeng County between Yuexi and Mozhou, how could Lord Wei suddenly think of Mozhou entering Yuexi, but what gossip has you heard recently?" “
