In the flower hall, three people entered.

Liu Renli didn't dare to sit down, and hurriedly bowed down again towards Fang Jizhong, after all, he said that there was still a will, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, seeing that Feng Yuchan hadn't come yet, he stepped forward and asked.

"Father-in-law Fang is talking about it, what the hell is going on, can you reveal it, Miss Feng Yuchan has never seen this battle, and it is really a bit ......."

There was only a wry smile left on Liu Renli's face, and Fang Jizhong waved his hand.

"Lord Liu, don't worry, it's definitely a good thing, you can rest assured."

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Yuchan had already changed her clothes and came in, Zhou Heng glanced at it, this is Xiu'er's more formal dress, it is already good to be able to do this in such a hurry.

She didn't dare to raise her head, and walked quickly to Liu Renli, but Fang Jizhong was not embarrassed, and said directly without going into too much detail:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: Feng's Yuchan, Yonghe Cuichun, etiquette and teaching, adhering to the holy precepts, filial piety and progress, the king of Ning accepted her as a righteous daughter, and entered the king of Ning, and immediately canonized as the lord of Xianghe County, and gave Liu Renli as his wife, and the marriage will be completed in a few days, Qin this!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Renli and Feng Yuchan were all stunned, and Zhou Heng laughed in the back.

He had already received news from Zhu Yunmo, and he couldn't hide it at all, and when he knew about it, he passed the news as soon as he could, but Zhou Heng didn't tell them.

Surprise surprise, no surprise where the joy comes, know in advance that this happiness is missing!

Seeing that the two of them were dumbfounded, Zhou Heng kicked Liu Renli's foot.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and thank you!"

Liu Renli was stunned, and hurriedly pulled Feng Yuchan's arm, the two of them both knelt down and kowtowed, and when Liu Renli's head touched the floor tiles, a tear also fell immediately.

"Your Majesty's imperial grace is immense, and the ministers have nothing to thank, and they will definitely bow down and die!"

Zhou Heng's eyes rolled to the sky, and when he was excited, Liu Renli came directly to die, and this person didn't know how to avoid it.

But I really want to praise Zhu Yunmo and Su Xiaoxiao, this matter is done beautifully, so that the old emperor can make a decree to turn Miss Feng into the daughter of King Ning and be named the lord of Xianghe, this marriage is safe.

Liu Renli accepted the holy decree and helped Feng Yuchan to get up, Fang Jizhong already had a smile on his face, and bowed to Feng Yuchan.

"Our family wants to congratulate the county lord of Xianghe, you and Lord Liu don't have to worry about this marriage, Your Majesty has already explained, everything is prepared by the palace, and there will be forbidden troops along the street in Tongzhou City to inform you that the wedding will be held in King Ning's mansion."

Zhou Heng blinked, Ning Wangfu office?

What was the idea of the old emperor?

This Wen family, seven dissatisfied with eight every day, can't wait for Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng to die when they encounter accidents on this side, so that her son can take over the throne of the prince and continue the throne in the future.

This marriage is held in King Ning's mansion, isn't this a blockage for the Wen family?

Moreover, Liu Renli's wedding was held in King Ning's Mansion, which means that Liu Renli is rich? Import Ding to Ning Wangfu?

Zhou Heng blinked, as if he hadn't figured it out, and looked at Fang Jizhong.

"Otherwise, if you are in charge of marriage in my mansion, it seems that there are some in King Ning's mansion, and some ......"

Fang Jizhong approached Zhou Heng, they were the most familiar here, Fang Jizhong was not polite, and came over directly and said:

"Your Majesty's meaning, it is justified in the Ning Wangfu, and it is also to help Miss Feng support her, and the Wen family took Zhu Xiaochang Gongzi to Changping or where, it seems that Bigu is preparing for the autumn season."

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Renli, and said with a wink:

"Oh, forget about this, it's true that there aren't many days before autumn, so wait for Brother Liu's body to recover a little, hurry up and get married, don't worry about it."

Fang Jizhong smiled, "What Uncle said is that there are no elders in Lord Liu's family, and many procedures can be saved, but there are a lot of things that need to be prepared. ”

Liu Renli only reacted at this moment, he was excited to hold this holy decree, and he was rewarded with gold and silver and added officials to the knighthood, but he was not touched by this holy decree, so he quickly knelt down again.

"Please thank Your Majesty on behalf of Gonggong Fang, the minister doesn't know how to say words of thanks, the emperor's grace is vast, the minister can only govern Tongzhou well, and express his gratitude in case."

Fang Jizhong hurriedly helped Liu Renli up, "Lord Liu, please get up, our family will tell you in time, the holy decree has arrived, and our family will not delay." ”

Zhou Heng hurriedly stepped forward, "Father-in-law Fang, I will go back to Beijing with you, it just so happens that Zhang Zhongtang's son-in-law's injury has stabilized, and there are many inconveniences to cultivate here, and there are no medicines, so it is more appropriate to go back to Beishan for treatment." ”

Liu Renli looked at it and hurriedly gave a salute.

"It's this hour, do you want to stay for a light meal?"

Fang Jizhong waved his hand and glanced at Feng Yucian with a smile.

"Our family will no longer bother Lord Liu and the county lord of Xianghe here, and Uncle Zhou should be able to invite our family to dinner."

Zhou Heng also smiled, and after a few words of dialogue, Fang Jizhong directly extended an olive branch, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Then father-in-law, please!"

Saying that, he accompanied Fang Jizhong and left directly, and after a while, the two carriages left with the forbidden army, of course, the forbidden army on the main street of Tongzhou had already announced that the lord of Xianghe County had been sealed.

The surrounding people all came out to see the excitement, and they couldn't see anything after watching it for a long time, but they just saw Feng Yucian supporting Liu Renli to come out to say goodbye.

That father-in-law Fang also called the county lord of Xianghe towards Feng Yuchan, and everyone was boiling for a while, it seemed that what those forbidden troops announced was true.

You must know that the fact that Liu Renli's sister-in-law is the county lord of Qingping has already made people talk about it, but I didn't expect this Feng Yucian to become the county lord of Xianghe again, what is this sign?

Although there were many people talking, no one went up to ask, and when they saw that the ranks of the forbidden army were gone, they gradually dispersed one by one.

Feng Yucian helped Liu Renli, seeing that everyone did not cast disdainful eyes as before, his face was full of envy, as if he was still immersed in the reading of the holy decree just now, his cheeks were slightly red, and he dragged Liu Renli's arm to signal him to go back.

Liu Renli smiled innocently, seeing Feng Yuchan's shyness, and the two went back to the mansion directly.

"When Father-in-law Fang was leaving, he deliberately greeted you in front of everyone, just to let everyone know that your status is noble and that you have saved a lot of trouble, and I will come to discuss the marriage with your father later."

Feng Yucian raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Renli, although her face was still red, her eyes were unusually firm, and she shook her head and said.

"Let's let my father come over, your body hasn't recovered!"

Liu Renli felt that it was better to come to the door for this matter, and just about to argue, Feng Yucian had already raised his head, put away his smile, pursed his lips and said:

"Listen to me about this, and besides, I am the county lord, I asked Xiu'er sister, the county lord is older than the uncle's officials."

Liu Renli hurriedly raised his hand, and swallowed all the rest of the words.

"Okay, listen to your arrangement, that's all right?"

Feng Yucian nodded, about Zhu Yunmo and Ning Wangfu, Liu Renli also told her something, how tense the relationship is, although she doesn't know, but looking at Zhou Heng and Liu Renli's expressions just now, she can guess something.

"It's about the same, I'll go and invite my father over in a while, as for the wedding, everything is simple, we can't live in King Ning's mansion, follow the emperor's wishes, get married as soon as possible, and we can go back to Tongzhou, aren't you at ease here?"

Liu Renli paused and looked at Feng Yucian seriously, having a wife like this, what else could he ask for.

"Listen to you in everything, but call Zhang Huaiyuan first, I want to meet the shopkeeper Zhu left by Zhou Heng, this person's brain is absolutely active, and Beishan is well organized, and all things in Tongzhou really need him to promote."

Feng Yucian knew that he would be able to persuade Liu Renli not to go out, so that he would not dare to die of hardship.

Therefore, he helped Liu Renli into the room, and then someone called Zhang Huaiyuan and said what Liu Renli meant, and Zhang Huaiyuan left immediately.

Not long after, Zhang Huaiyuan came back quickly, followed by Zhu Sanfu.

Seeing the ceremony and inviting Zhu Sanfu to sit down, Liu Renli looked surprised, after all, Zhou Heng had just left, he knew that Zhu Sanfu was very busy, and he found it so quickly, obviously he was near the mansion.

"Shopkeeper Zhu has worked hard, are you near the mansion?"

Zhu Sanfu smiled and wiped the sweat on his face, fat people sweat a lot, and this weather is even more sweaty.

"According to the instructions of the son, we bought a courtyard in Tongzhou, so that the survey personnel and the teachers who came after the capital can have a place to live, and the courtyard is on the east side of the mansion, not far away."

Liu Renli thought for a moment and asked:

"Zhou Heng was in a hurry to leave just now, I don't know if I have explained to you, on the one hand, the recruitment of road construction also needs to be done during the construction here, what do you think of this?"

Zhu Sanfu seemed to have guessed that Liu Renli was going to ask this, so he quickly got up and took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Renli.

"The little one has been coming to Tongzhou for a few days, and these days I have put people down, and carefully investigated some of the situations in Tongzhou, this is the directory of all the squires in the four counties of Tongzhou, whether there are officials in the court, the number of people, the location of the land, the number, the number of real estate, etc., all the things that can be investigated are counted clearly."

Liu Renli was stunned, he had also let people get these things before, and the government sent people to investigate, but he didn't see the numbers reported at first glance, although it was not strange that there were actually discrepancies between the yellow books in various places.

However, the squire's family, under the shadow of their relatives who were officials in the court, enjoyed tax exemption, so that there were many workshops on the falsely reported land, which were completely black households, so that the peasant households with very low incomes bore most of the tax burden, which was very unreasonable.

However, he thought very well, it is very difficult to implement, after all, no one wants to offend the local squires, if the officials encounter problems, they can leave, or be promoted, but these squires have lived here for generations, they are the local landowners in Tongzhou, and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat if they are offended.

I have investigated many times in the past few months, and the numbers are different every time, but in the end, it is still over, how long has Zhu Sanfu been here, and can he know that it is so accurate?

With many questions, Liu Renli opened the list and looked at it carefully, the more he looked, the more his eyes widened, and he looked up at Zhu Sanfu from time to time.

These things, down to the vegetable garden, are listed, where there is a house to rent and how much is the rent, these figures make Liu Renli speechless.

"You only spent a few days checking it, is there a mistake?"

Zhu Sanfu smiled, although he was laughing, Liu Renli could feel Zhu Sanfu's seriousness.

"Lord Liu rest assured, the matter explained by the son, naturally he does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, I sent nearly 100 people, all of them were carefully investigated from the surrounding area, and personally measured, it must be more detailed than in the yellow book, it is estimated that these squires themselves do not necessarily know so much.

Of course, what Gongzi means is not to care about the squire's intentions, the emperor's decree has come down, you and the county lord of Xianghe will prepare for the marriage, here we will start to collect the land before the autumn harvest, and now although the surveying and mapping has just begun, it is right to save more land.

Only when we move, these squires will be keenly aware of the problem, you don't need to say more, just let them inquire, the more the government here is covered, the more they feel that things are big and profitable, and when we control a certain amount of land, then we will control the rest of the initiative. ”

Liu Renli thought about it carefully, and then nodded, Zhu Sanfu is a person who really does things, this information is extremely credible, and then the statistics yellow book can also be based on this, if it is a transaction, it is indeed a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone.

"Then let's start the acquisition, I won't participate in how to operate, I'm recuperating and naturally no one will see anyone, and I will also order the people in the government to go down and not reveal anything, as for the content of the holy decree, I think the words that Father-in-law Fang said when he left will naturally be spread."

Zhu Sanfu smiled and bowed to Liu Renli.

"I haven't congratulated Lord Liu yet, nothing is as important as your marriage now, I think everyone can understand, the little one retired first, and someone will be sent to inform you of the progress at any time, but I won't come over during the day, I'll come over at night if there's anything."

Liu Renli nodded, and Zhu Sanfu got up to leave.

......

Early the next morning, Zhou Heng just woke up, stretched his waist and just sat up, when he found a person standing in front of the bed.

This discovery made Zhou Heng tremble, and in an instant, the person also woke up, jumped directly from the bed, and when he heard the voice, the man turned around and arched his hand towards Zhou Heng.

"It's disturbing Uncle Zhou's dream!"

Zhou Heng rubbed his eyes, only then did he see the person who came, and he was surprised that the person who came turned out to be Pang Xiao.

Boss Xue lived across the courtyard by himself, and he couldn't find it at all, so it can be seen that Pang Xiao's kung fu is really superb, Zhou Heng quickly got up and tidied up his clothes.

"Xiao Bo! I knew you were back, why didn't you show up? ”

Pang Xiao showed a smile on his face, wearing the clothes of a palace steward and eunuch was not abrupt on him, carrying a dough in his hand, trembling with his movements, Zhou Heng's eyes lit up, could it be that this is the disguise technique?

"After all, the matter of returning to Beijing has not been announced, so naturally I can't reveal my whereabouts."

Zhou Heng came to his senses, and instantly thought of King Ning's explanation before, but this matter has been long enough, it has been almost two months, obviously Zhu Yunmo and his brother's cemetery are guarded all year round, and it is not easy to start.

"Since Xiao Bo is here, it has already been arranged?"

Pang Xiao nodded, turned around and threw Zhou Heng a burden.

"I want my uncle to be wronged, change into clothes, and go with the old slave."

Zhou Heng didn't say much, this was promised early in the morning, naturally there was nothing to say, he picked up the burden and opened it to take a look, inside was a set of factory guards' red clothes.

Zhou Heng hurriedly put it on, tidied up and came out from behind the screen, looked at Pang Xiao and asked with a wink:

"Don't I have to take Boss Xue with me?"
