"What's the matter, didn't you say that you would gather here in the morning, why haven't you arrived yet?" Zhao Yan looked up at the sky, and said to himself with a somewhat anxious face, today is the day they leave the capital, originally he made an appointment with Cao Song, Xu Yuan and others, gathered in front of his courtyard in the morning, and then left the capital together, but now Cao Song and Hu Yanping have arrived, but they are the only ones who have not seen Xu Yuan.

"Could it be that there are too many things to prepare, so you are delayed?" Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Hu Yanping next to him opened his mouth to guess, he already knew that Xu Yuan was the former Kong, but he was also very impressed by the fact that he was able to leave Qiē and be with Princess Bao'an.

"No, when I passed by the gate of the second sister's house just now, I already saw that their carriages were waiting outside the gate of the mansion, and now I think that I should have come a long time ago, why haven't I arrived yet?" Cao Song also said to himself with a strange face at this time, his horse mansion and Xu Yuan's horse were almost next to each other, and he happened to pass by when he came to Zhao Yan.

"You three big men are so stupid, since you know it's strange, what are you talking about here? Let's go and see, shall we? "At this moment, Princess Shoukang, no, now we should call her Princess Weiguo rode to Zhao Yan's side, and immediately ran in the direction of the Horse Mansion after finishing speaking.

"The princess is not so bold when she gets married, and you are rare Brother Jiu'er!" Hu Yanping patted Cao Song's shoulder heavily at this time, and a refreshing smile appeared on his face, but this smile looked like a kind of schadenfreude no matter how you look at it. Tokyo City used to say that he was afraid of guilt, but since Cao Song married Princess Weiguo, the person who is most afraid of his wife in the capital has become Cao Song.

"As long as you talk a lot, hurry up and keep up!" Cao Song glared at Hu Yanping fiercely at this time, and said that he had also heard some rumors that the outside world said that he was afraid of the inside. However, he never thought that he was afraid of guilt, in his opinion, he was more of a respect and love for his wife, only those who didn't understand thought he was afraid.

Xu Yuan's Horse Mansion was not far from Zhao Yan's courtyard, so Zhao Yan and the others quickly came to the door of the Horse Mansion, but what they didn't expect was that they saw a circle of officials in front of the Horse Mansion. blocked the carriage inside to leave, which made Zhao Yan and the others stunned.

"Go and ask what's going on, who sent those officials?" Zhao Yan immediately ordered the guards around him to inquire about the situation, and at the same time, he was very strange in his heart, it is said that with the identity of Xu Yuan and his second sister, where did the ordinary officials dare to go to their door to block people, could it be that someone was behind the scenes?

After a while, I saw the guards who went to inquire about the situation rushing to report: "Lord Qiqi, these officials are sent by the newly established Accounting Department of the Third Division. According to them, they followed a Wang inspector to ask the horse to go to the accounting department for questioning, but Xu did not agree, so they blocked the door and did not let Xu Ma leave, and it is still in a stalemate! ”

"The Accounting Department of the Third Division?" Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard this somewhat unfamiliar name, because he didn't remember that there was this department in the Third Division, but at this time, Cao Song opened his mouth and reminded, "Third brother, this Accounting Department was just established last month. The main thing is to re-register the world's household registration, personnel, field affairs, pit metallurgy, housing gardens, rents, annual classes, etc. So that there is no communication, in order to examine the country's plan. ”

When it came to the end, Cao Song hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "In addition, I heard that Wang Xu's guy was arranged in this accounting department, and the Wang Inspector in the mouth of that official should be Wang Xu, right?" ”

As soon as Cao Song's words fell, I saw an official wearing an official uniform walking out of the office. came to Zhao Yan and gave a deep salute and said: "Xiaguan Wang Shu pays a visit to the county king Chitose!" ”

"It's really you, it seems that you didn't take my warning to you last time!" Zhao Yan looked at Wang Shu in front of him, and said angrily, the last time Xu Yuan arrived in the capital, it was rumored that he was the identity of the former empty. As a result, Zhao Yan found out that it was related to Wang Anshi's son, and immediately thought of Wang Xu, and specially warned the other party for this, but he didn't expect that this time he would dare to appear in front of his second sister's mansion.

"Xia Guan doesn't know what the county king's words mean, but Xia Guan came here today to invite Xu Juma to go to the Accounting Department to help us do some investigations!" Regarding Zhao Yan's anger, Wang Xuan was very calm, as if he was really a business-like official.

"Investigation? What survey? Cao Song was worried that Zhao Yan would act in anger, so he spoke first.

"It's nothing, it's just that Xia Guan found that there were some problems with Xu Yuma's field property, which did not match the reported number, so Xia Guan wanted to ask Xu Luma to ask some questions from the Accounting Department!" Wang Shu said calmly again. After the establishment of the Accounting Department, officials were immediately assigned to various places to check household registration, people, land and other affairs, among which Wang Shu was responsible for checking the land around the capital, but he did not check others, but he found the land under Xu Yuan's name, and it was at this time when Zhao Yan and they were leaving, if he didn't mean it, I am afraid he would not even believe in ghosts.

"My land property was rewarded at the beginning, and I didn't add half of the land property after that, if there is even a problem with these fields, then your accounting department is really serious and responsible!" At this moment, Xu Yuan, who had never seen a figure, finally walked out of the mansion, he had not come forward before, in fact, he was not afraid of Wang Xu, but he didn't want to cause trouble because of this matter, so he waited for Zhao Yan to come before he came forward, so that no matter what kind of conspiracy Wang Shu had, he didn't dare to show it in front of Zhao Yan.

"Xu Juma is finally willing to come forward, although your land and property are all rewarded by the emperor, but after our inventory, we found that your current land is nearly 500 mu more than at the beginning, that is to say, Xu Juma has to pay 500 mu less agricultural tax every year, which is not a trivial matter!" Wang Shu said with a stern face at this time, looking at his current appearance, he is somewhat similar to those honest and honest officials in later TV dramas.

"Hehe, five hundred acres? It's a big amount, but Xu Yuan has already said just now that his fields and properties are all rewarded by the emperor, even if there is a problem, it is also a problem with the people who distribute these fields, and it has nothing to do with him, if it really doesn't work, you can go to my imperial brother and ask him to give you an explanation! Zhao Yan sneered.

In fact, there are the most problems in terms of land, among all the nobles in the entire Great Song Dynasty, almost no one dares to say that there is no problem with their land, even if it is only a reward land like Xu Yuan, but the tenants who plant these lands will generally passively or actively reclaim wasteland, and turn some of these river beaches and mountains into fields, which will naturally not be reported, so over the years, it is normal to add some land, such as the fields under Zhao Yan's name, the real number must be much more than the number reported, Although Zhao Yan has not paid attention to it, with Cao Ying's character, it is estimated that it is possible to conceal thousands of acres.

"The king of the county is wrong, these fields are in the name of Xu Juma, so naturally Xu Juma should be found to be responsible, so the lower officials naturally want to find him!" Wang Shu didn't let him go at all, he came to block Zhao Yan and Xu Yuan today, and even if Zhao Yan couldn't help but beat him, but now he is not the famous and powerless concubine at the beginning, but the inspector of the Accounting Department of the Great Song Dynasty, although this is only a temporary position, but he is still an official of the Great Song Dynasty, performing the official duties of the imperial court, if Zhao Yan dares to beat him, it is not a trivial matter, but it is related to the face of all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yan naturally also saw Wang Xu's thoughts, and he was also very annoyed at the moment, but he also knew that Wang Xu's identity was different now, and he was also the backbone of the New Party.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan finally regained his composure, looked at Wang Xu with a sneer, and didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and said directly to Xu Yuan: "Brother-in-law, let people drive the carriage out of the Horse Mansion, we can't delay the time to leave today." ”

Xu Yuan immediately understood what he meant when he heard Zhao Yan's words, and he also smiled at Wang Xu, turned around and entered the mansion gate, and after a while, he saw a large car coming out of the mansion gate, Wang Xuan was immediately shocked when he saw this, and shouted at Zhao Yan: "What does His Royal Highness King Yue mean by this, do you plan to break in?" ”

"Hehe, this king was confused just now, with the identity of this king, why bother to reason with a mad dog, it's really a ** share!" After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Xu, and directly asked the guards to push away those officials, so that Xu Yuan's carriage could leave smoothly, just now he was indeed dizzy, in fact, in the case of Wang Xu's deliberate blockage, he only needed to ignore the other party's provocation, and just take Xu Yuan and them away, as for Wang Xu's complaint in the future, then let him go and sue, he didn't believe that Zhao Xuan would punish him for these trivial things.

Wang Shu heard that Zhao Yan actually scolded him for being a mad dog, and a trace of anger finally flashed on his calm face, especially when he saw Zhao Yan's guards pushing away the servants he brought, which made him very angry, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Just when Wang Shu was angry, suddenly a gorgeous carriage often came from in front of him, and a gust of wind blew open the curtain of the carriage, revealing the figure of a palace beauty in the carriage, which made his whole person like a lightning strike, because the woman in the carriage was his former wife, Princess Bao'an, but unfortunately now the other party is Xu Yuan's wife, and the title has also become the princess of Shu, and he no longer has anything to do with him.
