Lu Yuan glanced outside with some confusion: "But Lord Wang, if you go out, if you are recognized by those people outside, I am afraid that your life safety will not be guaranteed, or forget it, and my subordinates will go out and take a look for you." ”

Ye Junhao stood up and shook his head firmly, if he didn't check these things in person, he really didn't know what happened to Taishou and them.

Lu Yuan, who couldn't stay overnight, could only help him change his clothes, and the two of them went out of the door of the Taishou Mansion together.

Jiangnan, which was once rich, has now become desolate.

"Jiangnan Nanjun has always been the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River, originally the annual tax paid to the imperial court here is one of the best, but in recent years, the tax has become less and less, not to mention the annual imperial examination, and there are fewer and fewer people in the palace, I have been thinking about what it is for, and now after such a thing, I understand what is happening here." Ye Junhao looked at the desolation on the road on Nanjun's side, and said with a sigh.

Even if Lu Yuan is not in the court, but he has followed Ye Junhao for so many years, what he means by these words, Lu Yuan fully understands.

"Then this has to ask the Taishou here, the treasury has not been enriched, but the Taishou has enriched his own private treasury a lot." Lu Yuan said meaningfully.

They walked all the way and looked all the way, and found that many of the doors of the schools were sealed with white notes, and the people who sealed these schools were the students who had not passed the exam for many years.

Ye Junhao watched silently for a long time, only to hear those students say: "What's the use of studying hard in the cold window, it's better to go crooked and get a sum of money or two to bribe the examiner faster, this has real talent and real learning, and those who don't have real talent and real learning will only please people, but they can get a lot of benefits." ”

I don't know how many such words there are along the way, Ye Junhao turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuan, and said meaningfully: "If everyone in the world has such a mind, no one will be willing to learn in the future, then we will be finished." ”

"The prince is worried about the country and the people for the sake of the people in the world, and he is really an example for these ministers, but these officials are greedy for profit and are dedicated to themselves, and they really deserve to be killed." Lu Yuan sighed and said after hearing Ye Junhao's words.

Many shops on both sides of the street have been closed, and many people who don't have a little money at home are now chilled by Taishou's behavior, and even more so by the imperial court.

"This aunt, it's still so early, why is it closed?" Ye Junhao walked to the door of a sugar cake shop, looked at the proprietress who was closing, and asked.

When the proprietress heard this, she looked Ye Junhao up and down, snorted and said, "You are from outside, what does it mean that this store is open?" Earning so much money and sending the children to study, trying to find a good way out, it is not as fast as the person who gave some gifts in a few words. ”

What does my aunt mean by this? What a few words to send some money. Ye Junhao pretended to be puzzled, looked at the person opposite and asked.

When the proprietress heard this, she stopped closing the door of the store in her hand, looked at Ye Junhao and said: "This is the Emperor of the Holy Heaven and Heaven today, and he doesn't know what happened here, and if it weren't for the fact that the official was wronged and reported these things one by one, we wouldn't know it. ”

This matter was actually broken out by a servant, and after hearing this, Jun Hao's heart was a little puzzled.

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Yuan, and then turned to look at the proprietress opposite: "We have also heard about one or two along the way, saying that the students here in Jiangnan Nanjun have protested, but I don't know what it is, can my aunt talk to us about it." ”

Probably because she had been aggrieved by this incident for too long, the proprietress cleaned up her shop at this time, and simply leaned against the door and pointed outside and said, "Have you seen the school opposite?" After the accident, the gentleman in the school stopped teaching, and no one went to school anymore, and everyone shouted to go to Taishou to settle accounts! ”

"But is this Taishou willing to come out? I heard that now that the imperial court has learned about this matter, it has sent the prince out to solve this matter in person, and if it comes, I think this matter will be solved soon. Ye Junhao said tentatively as he looked at the proprietress opposite.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the words of the court and the prince, the proprietress showed a trace of disdain on her face: "The court sent the prince over, just to make a show, these officials are all related to each other, how can anyone be willing to sincerely do things for the people!" ”

What Yejun Hao never expected was that the people's trust in the imperial court had been reduced to such a degree.

The proprietress was still chattering about something, Ye Junhao gave Lu Yuan a look, and the two of them were ready to leave.

After leaving the sugar cake shop, Ye Junhao's face was solemn. "According to what the proprietress said just now, isn't this Nanjun the emperor far away, and the capital can't control them, this is too guarded by the assassin historian, and these people will start to do evil on the side of Nanjun?"

"It's really hard to say these things, but what the boss lady said today shouldn't be false, most of the taxes over the years are estimated to have gone into the pockets of those people, do you want to check this matter?" Lu Yuan looked at Ye Junhao opposite with some uneasiness and asked.

After hearing these words, Ye Junhao's face turned dark: "If it is to be investigated, it will be as the Taishou said today that there are many implications, but if this matter is not investigated now, they will follow suit, thinking that although they have made some mistakes, the court will read the law and not blame the public for the sake of tolerating it, so the consequences for a long time are really unimaginable." ”

Many shops on the streets of Nanjun have been closed, and from time to time you can see many students walking together on the road.

And at the door of Taishou Thorn Shi and Yuanwailang's house, a lot of people gathered, and some people even moved the bedding to their doors, and there was a posture of not leaving without giving them an explanation.

The entire South County is now in a state of panic.

Ye Junhao really can't imagine how much they have to go too far, so that they can hurt the hearts of the people so much that they have to ask for an explanation if they don't work.

After turning around, I realized how shocking the current situation in Nanjun was.

Ye Junhao already had a plan in his heart, and as soon as he went back, he immediately wrote a letter and ordered Lu Yuan to send it back to the capital.

And Ye Junhao and they just returned to the mansion not long ago, they saw Ye Lin come here with a few people: "The prince came from afar, it is not very convenient to come all the way, I didn't bring too much luggage, these are a lot of attendants selected from his subordinates and sent to the prince first, if there is anything needed, the prince can tell them all." ”

As Ye Lin spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his arms and quietly handed it to Ye Junhao opposite.

When Ye Junhao looked down and saw the silver ticket, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is Lord Taishou doing?" I'm not short of money here. ”

Ye Junhao is telling the truth, with Shi Yingqiu here, they Rong'an Mansion will not be short of money.

"This is a little bit of the lower official's intentions, the lower official knows that it is unforgivable to commit this heinous crime today, but he also asks the prince to be extrajudicial and give the lower official a chance to make up for his mistakes, and the lower official is grateful." Ye Lin whispered in Ye Junhao's ear.

Hehe, Ye Junhao sneered in his heart: "So many people are watching outside, how do I know that Lord Ye didn't deliberately want to harm this king, he sent this thing to this king in the front, and then called someone to arrest this king, saying that this king is just a sanctimonious person." ”

"The prince laughed, how dare you be, you are the younger brother of Your Majesty, slandering the royal family, this is a big crime to punish the nine clans!" After hearing this, Ye Lin was so frightened that he almost knelt down as soon as his legs weakened, this King Rong'an was really difficult to deal with.

When looking at the silver ticket on the table, Ye Junhao groaned and temporarily accepted the silver ticket first.

"Alright, go down first, and when the time comes, if there is any trouble, the king will call you again." Ye Junhao waved his hand and said a little impatiently.

Hearing this, Ye Lin dared to say a word "no", hurriedly responded, and then quickly left Ye Junhao's house.

After Ye Lin and the others left, Lu Yuan came forward puzzled, looked at the silver ticket on the table and asked, "Lord Wang, we are not short of this money, but why do you still accept Ye Lin's silver ticket?" This is not in vain to fall into the hands of others, if he wants to make trouble in the future, we will not be able to explain! ”

Ye Junhao opened the silver ticket unhurriedly, and after looking at the numbers on it, he sneered and said: "If this king doesn't accept these silver tickets, I'm afraid that they will think that this king is unwilling to help them, and when the time comes, there will be more moths, temporarily accept this silver ticket, and then return it to Your Majesty In this way, first, it can enrich the treasury, and second, it can stabilize them and facilitate our actions here." ”

It turned out that it was for this, when Lu Yuan heard this sentence, he sighed again and again, and he had to admire, Ye Junhao was far-sighted.

"Then all this is ready, have you really decided to interrogate this matter at the gate of the mansion tomorrow morning?" Lu Yuan looked at Ye Junhao with some uneasiness and asked again uneasily.

They have not yet thoroughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and if they can't give a suitable answer, they will only make the people lose confidence in him, the king of Rong'an.
