Chapter 414: Favoritism
"Does the emperor have any evidence?"
She couldn't understand that whether it was Yan Bin or Li Man, let alone having anything to do with the queen, even if it had nothing to do with the imperial court.
One of them was born in a business family, and the other has been wandering in Qinglou for many years, how can they be spies.
"If I had any evidence, I would have arrested them right now, do I still need to talk nonsense with you here?"
If it weren't for Song Xiaoqiao's sake, he would have used extraordinary means to deal with them a long time ago, and now he is just imprisoning them, waiting for conclusive evidence.
"Your Majesty, it's better to leave this matter to me to deal with, I promise to find out about this matter."
They are all her friends, if it weren't for the emperor saying these words today, she wouldn't have taken this hot potato if she was killed, but looking at the emperor's appearance, he didn't seem to trust her so much.
"Is the emperor worried about my favoritism?"
The emperor has such scruples, and he is also cleaning up, after all, her relationship with them is there, but the emperor should know who she is, if it is really Yanbin and Li Man who have problems, she will definitely hand them over to the emperor, and listen to the emperor's fate.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I won't spare you."
He did this for two reasons, first, to sell Song Xiaoqiao a face, so that she could confide in the disaster relief problem in the south, and secondly, to find something to do for her, and she would not leave the palace in a hurry.
"Thank you for your grace."
"Don't thank me yet, tell me what you can do."
"......" She tugged at the corners of her mouth strongly, and then continued: "Actually, the solution is very simple, the emperor will send someone to inquire first, see what big households are, if it is not enough, the surrounding counties can also be counted, and then find a way to bring them together." ”
She crackled and spoke, and the emperor was in a fog: "And then? ”
What's the use of light getting together, they still won't spit out the money obediently.
"The rest has to rely on the emperor to find a few people to perform, and when the time comes, the emperor can come up with some policies, which sounds very preferential, such as the first place in the collection of funds, can enjoy a year of tax exemption, or is giving some greater discounts."
The emperor is a smart man, and I believe he should understand what she is saying.
"You mean that the time will put the first place in the people I'm looking for?"
He seemed to understand Song Xiaoqiao's intentions.
"Well, only the emperor knows how much money is raised and who is the first place."
"And what if they don't get fooled?"
It's a good idea, and when the time comes, their taxes will continue, and the money will be found.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, you are the high-ranking Ninety-Five, you don't know the fireworks in the world, as long as you release this news, they will run faster than anyone else, and you don't have to worry that after they react, they will make trouble with the court."
In this world, it is better to have money than power, many business families are afraid of the government, if you can use money to get in touch with the court, who would not want to.
Even if they knew that they had been deceived, they would not dare to come out and say anything.
"You have a lot of ideas, okay, I'll do what you say, I hope this matter can be successful."
What Song Xiaoqiao said was easy, but whether it was the case in actual operation or not, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but since he had a way, he always wanted to give it a try.
"If the emperor is okay, then I will retire."
I wanted to take this opportunity to let Zuo Lin and them leave, but I didn't expect that there was a spy involved, and if she wanted to find out whether the emperor's suspicion was true or false, she had to get close to them.
"Little Joe, where have you been?"
He searched for two hours, almost turned over the entire courtyard, but still didn't find Song Xiaoqiao, he thought that Song Xiaoqiao would leave, but he didn't expect Song Xiaoqiao to sit in their courtyard early the next morning.
Where the hell did she go yesterday?
"I encountered something, and I left before I had time to say hello to you, I'm really embarrassed, by the way, what about Yan Bin and Li Man, haven't they gotten up yet?"
Only Zuo Lin came out, as for why she didn't ask Yuan Min, more is better than less.
"I should be up, I heard them talking this morning, I guess they were tinkering with their stuff in the room, you have something to do with them?"
In the morning, he heard movement in a daze, Yuan Min was injured, and she didn't have the habit of getting up early, so she didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Yanbin and Li Man.
However, Song Xiaoqiao came early in the morning and asked what they meant.
"It's okay, I'm just afraid that you're worried, come and tell you, since they're busy, let them be busy, I want to talk to you."
She sat on the stone bench carelessly, and her words made Zuo Lin stunned for several seconds.
"What do you want to tell me, have you figured it out, and want to go back to Li County with me."
Since knowing each other for so long, this is the first time that Song Xiaoqiao has taken the initiative to take care of him, which makes him feel flattered.
“…… I'm here to ask you how much you know about Yan Bin and Li Man. ”
She wanted to ask the person directly about it, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, and if she didn't get it right, it would affect the friendship between them, so she would talk to Zuo Lin, but she didn't expect this guy to mistakenly think that she wanted to be close to him.
Old peacock.
"You ask them what they do, or you ask me and ask me what I like to eat and play."
Song Xiaoqiao has something, this is his first feeling, but he doesn't know what it is.
"Can you please stop joking, or I'll leave now."
This guy is getting more and more unkind now, he is just a three-year-old child, he doesn't talk through his brain, and she has no interest in him, asking him what he likes to eat and play with fart.
"Okay, don't be angry, I'll tell you whatever you want to know." No matter why, since Song Xiaoqiao asked, there must be a reason, thinking of this, he then said: "Don't look at Yan Bin's good business, he is usually a stunned young man, and his temper is also very stubborn." ”
Yan Bin grew up with him, the two of them have liked to pinch each other since they were children, and they like to quarrel when they meet, but it was only after the arrival of Song Xiaoqiao that the relationship between them was improved.
"What about Li Man, how much do you know about him?"
Although Li Man is a woman in the Qinglou, she has also been in Li County for so many years, and Zuo Lin is a frequent visitor to the land of fireworks, so she knows a little about Li Man.
"She?"
Zuo Lin twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, feeling that Song Xiaoqiao was revealing his old bottom by asking this.
If you want to be in Li County, he is a well-known playboy, almost to the point that no one knows about it, Song Xiaoqiao is asking now, what does it mean.
"Yes, I've heard that you and her have been getting along for a while, what kind of person do you think she is."
The last time he was in Qinglou, he heard people talk about it, saying that Zuo Lin had been on good terms with her for a while, and because of her arrival, they finally broke up unhappily.
Speaking of this, she was a little embarrassed.
