He raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu with a blank look: "Your Majesty, why don't you talk to Mr. Deadwood and let him persuade Miss Zhao to lower the price?" ”

Xiao Qi didn't want to face Mr. Deadwood. That old man is not a good talker.

"You just go and say no to Miss Zhao? If you can't go to Suipingbofu again, tell Suipingbofu. He frowned.

"Well, if I say that, what's the difference between forcing someone else's little girl? Can we do this tasteless thing? Your Majesty, you don't know, that kid is a poor ......"

He spoke affectionately about what Zhao Ruxi said to Kang Shilin, Wu Zong and others, "Because I was poor, I used charcoal to paint", and "because I was poor, I went to work for Yinlou to paint jewelry".

When Xiao Qi heard this, he was deeply sympathetic: "It's because Wei Qiu didn't teach his daughter well and made this little girl suffer." ”

"So, can we open this mouth and ask the little girl to lower the price? is a big Jin court, taking advantage of other people's little girls, this is not good to say. When the time comes, it will be the emperor who will be impeached by the imperial history. So we can't go directly to Miss Zhao and Suiping Bofu, we can only find Mr. Deadwood. Mr. Deadwood is Miss Zhao's master, and his old man agreed, no matter who it is, he can't say that we are bullying the little girl. ”

Xiao Qi has a headache now.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to Mr. Kang." He had to compromise.

Compared with the stinky and hard imperial history, it is better to Mr. Kang, at least give some benefits, and he will be able to reason with you.

Zhang Changshen was satisfied with his farewell.

not only gave the Pingnan Hou Mansion eye medicine, but also sold a lot of favors to Mr. Deadwood's master and apprentice. Well, today's sky is really blue, autumn is crisp, and the best thing is a cool word!

Xiao Yu sent someone to find Kang Shilin, and the guards came back soon: "Your Majesty, Mr. Deadwood is not in the capital, but in Beining." It will take some time to inform him that he will return. ”

"Then call Fu Yunkai first." Xiao Qi said.

Originally, he didn't have to deal with Kang Shilin, it was all caused by the Pingnan Hou Mansion. Taking advantage of the opportunity to wait for the old gentleman, he first called Fu Yunkai over and scolded him.

Fu Yunkai was chatting in the second prince's courtyard, and when he heard the emperor's call, he was still a little confused. But he didn't dare to discuss with Xiao Lingpu and Xiao Lingyan, so he hurriedly followed the imperial guard.

"Your family is short of money?" Xiao Qi asked as soon as he saw Fu Yunkai.

Fu Yunkai was even more confused, shook his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister's father has a court, and his family also has a field and house rewarded by His Majesty, and his life is very stable. ”

"Is that an opinion on the field I have been rewarded?" Xiao Qi asked again.

Fu Yunkai had a brain teaser and wanted to know why the emperor had this attack. After thinking about it, he thought of Fu Yunlang's visit to Dali Temple to buy a farmhouse, and his face suddenly changed.

"The minister didn't, the minister didn't dare." He knelt down and spoke aloud.

"Then what happened when you asked your brother to go to Dali Temple to force Master Zhang to sell your grange? Is Dali Temple a place where he can point fingers? Did I lack food or clothing from your Pingnanhou Mansion? ”

Fu Yunkai's sweat came down.

"Your Majesty wants to know that the situation at the border is unstable, and once there is a war, the fields under the name of the Fu family may not be harvested. The minister heard that there was a grange for sale in Dali Temple, so he asked Yun Lang to ask. I just think that there is a grange in the capital, and my mother will be more stable, and I don't mean anything else. ”

Fu Yunkai is not very old, but since he was fourteen years old, he has traveled back and forth between the border pass and the capital, and he is often summoned by Xiao Qi to inquire about the war, and he is already very experienced in dealing with the imperial front.

He knew that once Xiao Qi got angry, he hated others the most for squeaking and shirking responsibilities and making excuses for himself. If you are frank and speak out some selfish thoughts in your heart, you will be able to gain his understanding.

It is estimated that Yun Lang, the second brother of the minister, is ignorant and collided with Lord Zhang in words. Although the younger brother is stubborn, he will never dare to say that he has disrespect for Lord Zhang and criticizes Dali Temple, and he will not dare to do so, and please let His Majesty know. ”

"In addition, if the minister's brother is ignorant and forcibly buys the grange that an adult's family wants to buy, the minister will definitely let him return it when he goes back, and lead him to apologize to the adult in person."

Xiao Qi also knew that Zhang Changshen's cunning old man was more or less watery when he spoke. Maybe it was Fu Yunlang's hairy boy who couldn't speak and do things, which made him unhappy, so he took the opportunity to run in front of him and give the Fu family eye medicine.

Wenchen and military generals have never stopped. Now that the border is unstable, it is impossible for him to punish the Fu family, but he just reprimands a few words.

"Brother Ling is fifteen this year, right? I remember that you were already on the battlefield at the age of fourteen. If you tell your mother, just say what I said, drowning is like killing a child, and you should let Brother Ling take his own responsibility, don't tease cats and dogs all day long, and don't do business. ”

Fu Yunkai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister must tell his mother." ”

"Go ahead, take care of this. Don't let people gossip about your Pingnanhou Mansion, let alone let people say that I treat you badly, forcing you to have no money for food. When the next Dali Temple and the grange are sold, I will let Zhang Changshen keep it for you. ”

Fu Yunkai's sweat came out again: "The minister doesn't dare." Under the rule of His Majesty, it is not common for Dali Temple to sell criminal officials' mansions. If the minister wants the grange, he can ask the Chinese people, and he doesn't dare to bother His Majesty and Lord Zhang. ”

In addition to major and important cases, Dali Temple deals with cases of court officials. And what is sold is often only the property of the guilty officer. If the emperor's words just now came out, wouldn't the ministers of the court and the central government think that they Pingnan Marquis Mansion is looking forward to everyone's accident, so they can covet the field house under their name? This crime, they can't afford to bear it in the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Seeing Fu Yunkai like this, Xiao Qi's anger in his heart disappeared a little, and he said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I will just talk about it casually." Alright, let's go. ”

Fu Yunkai kowtowed and retreated.

Walking out of the hall, Fu Yunkai found that the clothes on his back were wet with sweat. He looked at the upturned cornices and let out a light breath.

"Where is the second son? Send for him to come home. As soon as Fu Yunkai got into the carriage, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

He felt that he was more tired at home than at the border. Tired!

"Yes." The entourage agreed, quickly got on the horse, and headed towards the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. Go back to the house first and inquire, or if not, then move elsewhere.

In fact, Fu Yunlang came back from Dali Temple and stayed at home honestly and did not go out. His only move was to send someone to inquire about Zhao Ruxi and Kang Shilin.

He couldn't figure out why Zhao Ruxi had a relationship with Kang Shilin and Wu Zong and became Wu Zong's little sister?

When Fu Yunkai's entourage came to look for him, Fu Yunlang was listening to the little maid's report and heard the news: "...... It is said that Miss Zhao painted a portrait that looked like a real person, that is, the portrait of Mr. Deadwood, and finally Mr. Deadwood loved her so much that he took her under his door and became his own closed disciple. ”
