After Tang Yongzhen sent someone to inquire about the news, he went in to listen to the opera again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the opera ended, Tang Yongzhen walked out of the pear orchard. The retinue that had been sent out to inquire about the news had also returned at this time.

When the man came to him, Tang Yongzhen asked, "Zhao Shuo, have you heard?" ”

Zhao Shuo respectfully reported: "Back to the master, the villain has already inquired." There was a father-in-law in the capital, and the master was in a hurry to go back. ”

"Oh? So the father-in-law is here to announce the decree? ”

"This ...... The villain didn't see the father-in-law reading the decree. ”

Tang Yongzhen frowned, and said in her heart: "It seems that it is a secret decree." It's just that I don't know what errand did the imperial court send someone to pass on? ”

After thinking for a long time, Tang Yongzhen walked back to the pear orchard, found the acquaintance of the pear orchard, and asked him to call the bustard's mother to meet him.

In the room, Li Xiuwen was looking at a stack of materials in his hand.

This is the information that Eagle Eye collected from Wujiang County, which is subordinate to Suzhou Prefecture, as well as Kunshan County.

Although there are mostly people in the eagle's eyes, there are also some literate people. Other spies were responsible for collecting intelligence, and they specialized in making some intelligence aggregation for Li Xiuwen's convenience.

Next to him, Sun Mingwen was reporting and making some additions. I only heard him say: "This tax collection is all in the responsibility of the township chief and others, and then handed over to the county order, and then handed over to the state government by the county order, and then sent to the capital of the county." This layer of handing in will produce fire consumption......"

"What is fire consumption?" Li Xiuwen suddenly spoke up and interrupted him.

"Fire consumption refers to attrition, called fire consumption, but in fact, these people are intercepted and put in their own pockets." Sun Mingwen replied.

"I see."

Li Xiuwen realized this. These magistrates are far away from the capital, and such a method of accumulating wealth is really normal, he knows it. But the key is that the officials in this Ming Dynasty are all accumulating money, it depends on how much you get.

According to the news sent back by Sun Mingwen, Li Xiuwen found out that Chen Hongmi didn't find any major problems, but the county orders of Wujiang County and Kunshan County really caught a lot.

Looking at the information in his hand, Li Xiuwen already had some bottom in his heart. Although these two county orders are small, they can also be pulled out. As for the rest of the world, we will have to wait for Hawkeye's investigation.

"Tuk-tuk."

After a knock on the door, Xu Jiang's voice came from the door: "My lord, I'm back." ”

"You go out first."

After giving an order to Sun Mingwen, Li Xiuwen hid the information before saying, "Come in." ”

"My lord, I have found out the news!"

Xu Jiang looked a little excited, it seems that Jinyiwei has also gained.

Subsequently, Xu Jiang also reported to Li Xiuwen the information he had obtained about Wujiang County and Changshu County.

"Well done!"

Li Xiuwen was a little surprised, this brocade guard had been idle for so long, but their ability to detect news was no worse than the eagle eye that they focused on cultivating. He patted Xu Jiang on the shoulder and encouraged: "Continue to investigate, and you will be indispensable for the credit then." ”

Walking out of the room, Li Xiuwen looked at the sky, and thought that the opera in Liyuan had already ended. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart: "It's a pity, a beauty of this level can't be seen for a while, so I can only wait for tomorrow." ”

At this time, he saw Sun Mingwen walking in from outside and said, "Young Master, Master Tang has sent someone over." ”

Li Xiuwen frowned and said, "What are you sending people here for?" ”

Sun Mingwen glanced at him and said, "I sent a girl, saying that she was asked to serve the adult." ”

Sending a girl?

Li Xiuwen was stunned when he heard this, does this Lord Tang want to bribe this son?

During this period, the status of women was very low. Among officials and businessmen, it is normal to give away maids. Even some people can send their own concubines out in order to achieve a certain purpose. Therefore, the concubine cannot be compared with the status of the wife of the main house.

These Li Xiuwen all know that he can send his own woman, this is really the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.

As Sun Mingwen came to the gate, Li Xiuwen was stunned when he saw the girl at the door.

Isn't that Chen Yuanyuan?

This soup is so big!

Li Xiuwen frowned slightly, and asked Tang Yongzhen's entourage, "What is your Master Tang?" ”

Zhao Shuo replied respectfully: "My lord, this is a little bit of my master's heart. Please smile! ”

When Li Xiuwen heard this, his brows were deeply locked: "Is this Tang Yongzhen playing with beauty?" Chen Yuanyuan still has a little heart, and he has a lot of money to redeem himself, right? ”

Ransomed Dong Xiaowan before, 1,000 taels was considered less, but the bustard's mother opened 10,000 taels. Then this Chen Yuanyuan, isn't the price of redemption even higher?

Since Tang Yongzhen can send people, she must have redeemed her, otherwise how to give it to herself? If you bring such a disaster back, you can't make a fuss at home?

But if you don't accept it, your previous drama will be in vain. What he had shown to the officials in Suzhou before was a lascivious image, and if he turned away such a beautiful woman, it would definitely arouse their suspicions.

Li Xiuwen believes that there must be something wrong with this Tang Yongzhen. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to give up such a blood capital to please himself. Even if he accepts this "gift", it will not have much impact on him, and he just accepts a woman, which is really common in officialdom.

It's a big deal, when the Jiangnan affair is over, it's better to let her go back.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiuwen nodded and said, "Go back and tell your master that this woman has accepted it." Tomorrow afternoon, I will hold a banquet in the Spring Breeze Building, and I hope he can appreciate his face at that time! ”

"Yes, the villain must bring the words of the adult." Zhao Shuo answered and went back.

Looking at Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiuwen said with some embarrassment: "This ...... Round girl, you're going to live in the backyard first, right? ”

Chen Yuanyuan was a little stunned when he heard this, this adult spoke so kindly.

Li Xiuwen saw her stunned, and shouted again: "Round girl? ”

"Huh? Oh! ”

Chen Yuanyuan came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted: "The slave family has seen the master." No matter how the master arranges, the slaves will obey. ”

Li Xiuwen then instructed Sun Mingwen: "Place her in an empty room in the backyard." ”

"Yes."

Sun Mingwen replied, and led Chen Yuanyuan to the backyard. In his heart, he admired Li Xiuwen: "There are already two flower-like ladies in the adult's family, and I will bring back two more when I come back to Jiangnan." Tut-tut......"

"Alas!"

Li Xiuwen sighed heavily. What kind of errand are you doing?

The next trip to Jiangnan, there are two little beauties sent to the door, they should be called "flower pickers", right?

"This corrupt feudal society!"

Looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Li Xiuwen's face was full of melancholy. He muttered to himself, "God, if one day I become no longer pure, remember the innocent eyes I once had. ”

Suddenly looked back, and after seeing that there was no one around, Li Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this time Dong Xiaowan did not suddenly appear behind her, and listened to her words. (To be continued.) )
