Ebony seemed to have pearl pupils that moved to the corners of his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes, and his face was full of calculation.

Ye Linchen's eyes were dewed and he looked at Xie Yaoguang.

Her words are clear. It's also telling yourself about another thing. The lost building is just a pretense, and what she really wants to calculate is on the batch of cloud brocade that Fu Shugu supplied to the Xie family.

Seeing that the doubts in Ye Linchen's eyes dissipated. Xie Yaoguang showed a shallow smile on his face, helped Suzaku by the hand, Shi Shiran stepped into the carriage, and ordered Zhuo Jing and the others to lead a horse to Ye Linchen. The group set off to return to Jinling City.

The fire in the maze burned all night before it was extinguished. When Fu Shugu learned the news, he got up from the concubine's bed

I didn't have time to draw shoes, so I hastily put on a coat, so I hurriedly summoned the master of the house and the guests to discuss it together.

He was discussing the matter of the maze building, and suddenly heard the steward report that it was a fire in the Fu family's warehouse, and the cloud brocade that had been woven before was burned all the summer cloths.

Fu Shugu, who heard the news, was furious, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly fell to the ground, his hands and feet twitching.

Seeing this situation, the Fu family hurriedly arranged for someone to carry Fu Shugu to bed, and ordered someone to invite the best doctors in the city.

When Xie Yaoguang learned the news that Fu Shugu was sick, he sneered lightly, and ordered Zhuo Jing to give Xia Bu to the people in the city in the name of others.

Not to mention that the lost building was completely destroyed, and Xia Bu, who was originally going to use it to collect money, also suffered a catastrophe, and for a while, the Fu family could be regarded as suffering.

At the same time, he handed Ye Linchen a message and asked him and Xia Fu to visit the various mulberry farmers and cloth shops outside the city, and check the account books of the cloth workshops and other things.

Because of the successive accidents of the Fu family, the few people in the gang had different hearts. And those Sang Nong who signed the death deed were originally pressed by the squire government above, and the people sent by Xie Yaoguang used all means, and they didn't dare to say much, but they only confided in some trivial things that were not boundary.

Xia Fuxin carefully agreed with Ye Linchen in the name of opening a silk and satin village. One of them went to get close to the peasants, and the other consulted the account books and the fields under the pretext of visiting.

I have to say that the books and taxes of the Fu family and the silk villages in Jinling are very clean and clear. However, Xia Fu also stayed in the position of the household department for a long time, and he could see the problem in the account books at a glance.

The cleanliness of the account books is beyond imagination, and the cleaner it is, the more it means that there is a problem. He knows that.

As for Ye Linchen, he has always been kind, and he quickly got along with those farmers, and after several investigations, he finally sorted out what he wanted to know.

The peasant's smile was enough to shock him, but he kept quiet, but secretly wrote down the main points and invited them to come to the inn to look for him.

After being oppressed for a long time, those peasants easily saw a glimmer of hope, and they rushed to the post house to write about their persecution by Fu Shugu and the Fu family.

It has only been three days, and there are dozens of letters in Ye Linchen's hands, all of which are imploring the two of them to severely punish Fu Shugu.

After discussing with Xia Fu, I found that these things only locked the problem on the word tax.

Even if the court is now in writing, what the court has gained may only be Emperor Li sending someone to investigate on the surface, and it will not be shaken to the root, and Fu Shugu will also shirk this matter completely, and he still can't achieve his plan after hard work.

At the moment, this matter is quite tricky. In the end, the result of the discussion was that Xia Fu came forward to urge people to find out why the Maze Building caught fire, so as to divert Fu Shugu's attention so that King Ding could plan in secret.

The heavy rain poured mercilessly from the sky, and Jinling City was wet all around, and it was particularly boring mixed with the breath of summer. It was raining, Xie Yaoguang originally planned to go to Jiming Temple for a visit, but because of the heavy rain, he had to dismiss his thoughts.

I had nothing to do and was forced by her to be anxious because of Fu Shugu for the time being, so I ordered Suzaku to put a bookcase under the inn corridor to grind and practice calligraphy.

When Xie Yaoguang had just finished writing a preface to the Orchid Pavilion, the Suzaku came to pass the legend that King Ding was visiting. Hearing this, he put down his pen and got up and went to the door to greet Ye Linchen in person.

welcomed Ye Linchen in and instructed Suzaku to prepare pastries, and the two sat opposite each other under the corridor. The rain curtain outside the corridor smashed tightly on the green tiles, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, which was very noisy. He personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Ye Linchen, lifted the cover and the mellow tea fragrance flowed around.

"Why did Your Highness come to look for me today?" Holding the tea urn to blow away the white mist that rose slowly, he raised his eyes and asked suspiciously, "But what is the tricky thing that you want me to help with?"

"Can't I come looking for you if it's okay?" Ye Linchen raised his head and looked at the smiling face in front of him, and blurted out this sentence without starting his head.

Originally, Xie Yaoguang was twisting the tea lid and caressing the rim of the cup carelessly, stopping at this, his hand moved slightly, and then put down the tea cup and said, "Of course not." I just think it's strange, shouldn't Your Highness be busy with the affairs of Fushu Valley at this time? ”

"I'm almost the same as Xia Fu about the things in Fushugu, but there is only one thing." Ye Linchen's eyes were deep and his eyes were deep, and he sighed, "This matter is all around the word tax, even if it is up to heaven, it can't uproot the Fu family." ”

"It seems that His Highness has gained a lot. Of course, nothing can be found out after uprooting the account books of the Fu family and leaving the Fu family, presumably Xia Fu can also see the problem, right? Xie Yaoguang raised his sleeves to cover his lips and said.

Ye Linchen's eyes lifted, his eyes dimly looked at Xie Yao, and when he looked at her young, he tilted his lips and said, "That's true." I thought I would take the time to walk around the farmland and see if I could get some useful information. ”

"When the rain stops, will I go with Your Highness? Catch thieves and stolen goods. Xie Yaoguang hooked her lips softly, and a little smile appeared on her face.

When the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, it was already noon. The two of them set off from the inn to the outskirts of Jinling City. Earlier, Xie Yaoguang sent Suzaku to hire a small sedan chair, and asked Zhuo Jing to choose four good players to go together.

Because it had just rained, the roads were muddy, and it took half a column of incense to reach the outskirts of the city. Lieyang Fangsheng already had several farmers weeding in the farmland, Ye Linchen originally wanted to go up to inquire about the situation, but was stopped by Xie Yaoguang and asked him to wait for a while.

Not long after, a pair of flying horses rushed out of the dense forest, and they couldn't help but directly disperse the farmers who had been cultivating the fields, riding horses and stepping on the fields, trampling the seedlings that had grown very well, and even shouting at the peasants to hurry back and feed the silkworms, don't waste their efforts here.

The peasant got into an argument with the sergeant and was thrown to the ground. The sergeant laughed and reined in his horse, wanting to raise the horse's hooves and step on the fallen peasant, so that the people might suffer something.

Ye Linchen, who sensed his intentions, directly snatched the sword from Xie Yaoguang's guard's hand with a fierce look, and kicked the man off the horse with one body, and he scolded and wanted to get up from the ground. The sword in Ye Linchen's hand was already across his neck.

"What kind of person are you, so bold! Lao Tzu is the king of Jinling City!" He shouted in horror.
