Zhou Qingnian looked at the name card sent by the official with an obscure face, he picked up the name card and looked through it carefully, the seals on it were complete, the red seal was clear, and the huge Jingyong official seal made him have no chance to admit his mistake if he wanted to.

Feng Shuang only had nothing to say when Zhou Qingnian saw the name of Duke Jing Yong, glanced at the villagers of Wangjia Village on the side with bad intentions, and smiled at Zhou Qingnian: "I know that the Lord is the protégé of Lord Mu, the governor of the first two rivers, although Lord Mu is immortal, he is in-law with our Jingyong Mansion, and today it is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and I blame me, I didn't come to visit the Lord as soon as possible, so I made this oolong ...... today."

Zhou Qingnian didn't pay attention to the triumphant chatter under the kneeling hall, and only ordered the official standing on the side to send the name card to Yu Wenyuan, who was listening, Feng Shuang was stunned by his action, looked at Zhou Qingnian, and couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth. Zhou Qingnian's reaction was a little different from what he imagined. And who are these two observers? Feng Shuang secretly looked at Yu Wenyuan and Xiao Lanhuan, and saw that the two of them had extraordinary bearings, and he was more and more unsure of what Zhou Qingnian's idea was.

Yu Wenyuan took the name card, and after seeing the big seal on the name card clearly, Yu Wenyuan only felt that his eyes were dark, and his mind was "buzzing", his father and son were in Beijing, and they strictly followed their grandfather's teachings, and they were cautious and cautious in shaping their family style, and they did not dare to make a wrong step. Hereditary succession, though it sounds supremely honorable, is unshakable. But at the beginning of the founding of the country, how many nobles and princes were there? Those are all brothers and sisters who can be called brothers and sisters with the ancestor emperor, and then look at how many surnames are left in Beijing now, Zhong Ming Dingshi's wealth is easy to get and not easy to keep, but it is not easy to keep it, but it is a disaster to Xiao Wall.

"Feng Shuang, you said that your family is from the Jingyong Mansion?" Yu Wenyuan put the name card on the side of the small table and asked coldly. Feng Shuang didn't dare to snub Yu Wenyuan, and replied thoughtfully: "Exactly." ”

"What is your relationship with Feng Ji?" Yu Wenyuan asked again, although the seal of Jingyong's official name is his father's thing, but because the second room is in charge, his second uncle Yu Enxiang plans for himself in the officialdom and often uses these in his daily dealings with the prince's mansion, so these two things have always been collected by Yu Enxiang and Mrs. Xu. Although Yu Wenyuan doesn't have a deep understanding of the affairs of the house, he is still basically clear, and he can think of the people involved in it after a little thought.

Feng Ji is one of Mrs. Xu's henchmen, and he happens to be in charge of the rent in the spring and autumn of the Jingyong Mansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so coincidentally, this Feng Shuang is here to encroach on the fertile land, and also holds the name of the Jingyong Gong, if it is not for the first report by him, no one believes that this matter has nothing to do with his father, and the court strictly prohibits the illegal annexation of land and heavy profits by the noble courtiers, and the violators will not be pardoned. This Feng Shuang is still in the name of his father, holding his father's name in Hangzhou, if he is denounced, I am afraid that it will be really as Mu Qingling said, this Duke of Jingyong will change hands.

As soon as Feng Shuang heard Yu Wenyuan mention Feng Ji's name, she suddenly had a guess about Yu Wenyuan's identity, Feng Shuang knelt in the direction of Yu Wenyuan, suddenly panicked, and said, "Small, the little one is Feng Ji's son." ”

"Good, good." Yu Wenyuan chuckled twice, looking at Feng Shuang's eyes but they were cold, "You are just a son in charge, you dare to use the name of my Jingyong Mansion to run rampant in the two rivers, and keep saying that in the name of Jingyong Mansion and Master Mu, you have the courage to borrow from the sky!" ”

Yu Wenyuan said that he was angry, swept the teacup on the small table to the ground, the teacup fell next to Feng Shuang and smashed it, and the steaming tea splashed Feng Shuang's face, but he didn't even dare to wipe it.

If he didn't know who the person in front of him was at this time, it would be in vain for him to be in Hangzhou for so many years.

Yu Wenyuan took Mu Qingling back to Hangzhou for the funeral, his father had already sent a message asking him to be careful during this time, so that Yu Wenyuan could not know about their affairs in Hangzhou. He originally thought that Yu Wenyuan and Mu Qingling would be mourning behind closed doors since Mu Jiangxuan's funeral, and they would not go out as a last resort, and Wangjia Village was not close to Hangzhou, so nothing could happen. Unexpectedly, it was this Wangjia Village, which he thought was foolproof, that sent him to the public court and Yu Wenyuan today.

"Childe spares his life, Childe spares his life!" Feng Shuang began to kowtow desperately and beg for mercy, but after two or three efforts, his forehead was red and swollen. Yu Wenyuan said coldly: "If you want to die, give me a clear explanation of what you did!" In addition to Wangjia Village, what other places have you caused trouble? Where does the name come from? Who did you give to all those gold and silver fields you looted? ”

"This ...... This ......" Feng Shuang knotted, what could he say? Could it be said that he and his father were ordered by the second lady to lend money and gamble under the guise of Mu Jiangxuan and Jingyong's mansion in the prosperous and wealthy land of Liangjiang, and all the money and goods obtained went into the pockets of the second wife Xu? !

If this matter is said, don't say that Yu Wenyuan, the big house, can't spare them, and the second wife will be the first to skin their whole family alive. He and his old son's deed are all pinched in the hands of the second wife, and he doesn't know if the second wife will be brought down because of this, but his whole family will definitely die because of this, and there is no place to bury!

"Ungrateful bastard!" Yu Wenyuan got up and kicked Feng Shuang on his back, "After Lord Zhou's trial is completed, I will personally escort you back to Beijing, I want to see who can protect you!" ”

At this point, Feng Shuang had no room for maneuver. Zhou Qingnian didn't talk nonsense with him, and immediately ordered him to be punished. The Feng family and others lined up in the courtyard in front of the prefect's office, and the thick torture rods of the officials fell on their buttocks, and there was a scream in an instant.

This group of people usually fights against people, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and they are not hard-boned goods. After a few rods, he hurriedly summoned them.

The Feng family was involved in too many things, and they couldn't recruit them for a while, so Zhou Qingnian and the three of them avoided the inner room, and Mrs. Zhou saw them come in, stood up and walked out with the maid. Mu Qingling looked at Yu Wenyuan's face with anger, and said comfortingly: "Cousin, things have not yet reached the point of no return, you are not angry." ”

Yu Wenyuan cheered up and smiled at Mu Qingling, and sat aside without speaking. He has never felt so powerless, others use the name of the big house to run rampant and domineering for personal gain, and it is they who bear the notoriety after the bad things are done. When I think of the charitable and kind faces of the past, I am full of scheming, and my eyes are full of vicious light that I want to eat up their flesh and blood.

And what about him? was deceived and fooled, and now everything has exposed the mask of hypocrisy, but he still doesn't know where to go, he is a young master who is used to being pampered and has no meritorious official position, how to maintain the name of Jingyong Gong for a hundred years? !

The inner room fell silent for a while, but at this time, Chang Lin, who led the troops to encircle and suppress the cult, came back, he was dressed in armor, and the wind brought up when he walked into the inner room had a smell of blood, Chang Lin arched his hand to the others, and then said to Xiao Lanwei: "The subordinates are late, and they failed to welcome the return of the prince, please forgive the prince." ”

Xiao Lanwei waved his hand and said, "It's not more formal, how is the situation on your side?" ”

Chang Lin took out the registration book from his cuirass and handed it to Xiao Lanwei, and replied: "This time, my subordinates have exterminated a total of five cult strongholds, killed 123 cult personnel, arrested 56 live people, and all the gold, silver, and antiques have been transported back to the government. Lord Wang, although this group of people is in the name of a cult, they are behind it...... And the traitors. ”

Xiao Lanhuan had already finished scanning the booklet in his hand, and the captives of the Holy Puritanism had explained a lot of things in order to save their lives, including the whereabouts of the descendants of the former Queen Yu, Xiao Lanhuan saw the word King Yu, which was funny and angry, this is really a distant name. I didn't expect to meet it here.

It is not a trivial matter for a cult to cause chaos, but now that it has something to do with the traitors, Zhou Qingnian is destined to have a restless life during this time. Xiao Lanhuan handed the confession in his hand to Zhou Qingnian, Zhou Qingnian took it and looked at it, and he couldn't wait to faint on the spot.

Under his rule, not only did he hide cults, but he also had vicious rich people like the Feng family who exploited the villagers, and now they even have anti-thieves. Is this a deliberate attempt to compromise his longevity?!

Zhou Qingnian slapped his confession on the table fiercely, and said fiercely: "Don't worry, the lower officials will send a message to Wu to command Shi ......" Compared with Zhou Qingnian's anger, Xiao Lanwei seemed much more comfortable, "Lord Zhou is angry first, the land of the two rivers is rich, and it has always been a granary and treasury for soldiers to fight for. ”

"Now that the new governor has not yet taken office, the army is not allowed to move. You can't meddle in military and political affairs, although I am the respect of the prince, but in the matter of transferring the army, I should avoid suspicion. Xiao Lanwei said, to encircle and suppress the stronghold of the Holy Qing Sect, Chang Lin can also take the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen and the government soldiers to go, but if it involves anti-thieves, the stakes are very high, and it is not something that these people can handle.

In the area south of the Yangtze River, the governor is in charge of the military and politics, and his command is in charge of all the soldiers and horses here. As soon as Mu Jiangxuan left, the new governor had not yet arrived, and the command envoy and the prefect yamen performed their respective duties and were not allowed to interfere with each other. Zhou Qingnian has no right to transfer troops, although Xiao Lanwei is a prince and has great favor, but he has never been involved in the court, nor does he have a real official position, nor does he have the right to transfer troops.

"Lord Zhou, now that the new governor has not yet arrived, this group of dragons without a leader naturally has a rebel thief who wants to take advantage of the situation. As the prefect of Hangzhou, Lord Zhou should sit in the government at this time to appease the people and strictly prevent chaos in Hangzhou. Only if the state capital is not chaotic, this Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be stable, and Lord Zhou has a heavy responsibility, so he should be more careful. Xiao Lanhuan looked at Zhou Qingnian and said, Zhou Qingnian was still a little hesitant, "Can ...... But ......"

"Don't worry, Lord Zhou, as the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is still a high top, with me, the prince here, what else is Lord Zhou worried about? Besides, this day, it can't collapse. Xiao Lanhuan smiled at Zhou Qingnian, looked like he had made a decision, and said: "Lord Zhou, the matter of Wangjiacun is still waiting for you to deal with, and you must be more careful to deal with this matter at this time to prevent civil unification." Leave it to me here, you go first. ”

Zhou Qingnian thought about it, gritted his teeth and obeyed Xiao Lanwei's orders, and left the inner room. At this time, there are only Mu Qingling and Yu Wenyuan left, there is no need to fight, Xiao Lanwei looked at Mu Qingling, and suddenly said: "I have always been curious, as a young lady, you have no worries about food and clothing, why are you always inexplicably afraid, and you don't answer when asked, but now I have a little conjecture, are you afraid of returning to Beijing?" ”

Mu Qingling suddenly looked up at Xiao Lanhuan, at this time Xiao Lanhuan looked at her like she had never seen before, extremely serious, extraordinarily calm, he no longer regarded her as a little girl who needed to be protected and spoiled, but Miss Mufu who could talk to him on an equal footing and make him respect.

"Yes." Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanwei and replied slowly. For the first time, she confessed her fears in front of him, acknowledging her concerns. Xiao Lanyu hooked the corners of his mouth, but the smile did not spread to his eyes, he turned his head to look at Yu Wenyuan, as if he wanted to see his fur and flesh clearly.

Yu Wenyuan subconsciously straightened his back, Xiao Lanhuan's gaze was too oppressive, but he knew that he couldn't retreat at this time, he didn't know what Xiao Lanhuan was thinking, but he vaguely felt that this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

"You believe him?" Xiao Lanhuan looked at Yu Wenyuan, but the words were asking Mu Qingling, Mu Qingling also looked at Yu Wenyuan, and said lightly: "My cousin and I advance and retreat together, I believe it." ”

Xiao Lanhuan suddenly smiled, leaned on the chair, looked at Yu Wenyuan, and said indifferently with the dignity unique to the royal family, "Yu Wenyuan, I will give you a chance to make contributions, do you dare to take it?" When Yu Wenyuan heard Xiao Lanhuan say this, his hand clenched his cuffs, but he still couldn't control his trembling all over.

"Please make it clear." Yu Wenyuan took a deep breath, solemnly saluted Xiao Lan, and said.

Xiao Lanhuan took off the jade pendant he had been carrying, and threw it to Yu Wenyuan with the confession of the remnants of the Holy Puritanism, and said: "I asked Chang Lin to accompany you to command the envoy, you bring things, if you can persuade Wu to command Shi to send troops and arrest the traitors to clear the remnants, this king will personally ask for merit from the saint for you and recommend you to join the office." ”

Yu Wenyuan didn't know whether he was stunned by the thing that fell in his arms, or was stunned by Xiao Lanwei's words, and it took a while to react. He held the jade pendant that represented Xiao Lanhuan's identity, his chest rose and fell a few times, and then he shook it to the end, and said loudly: "Wenyuan will not let the prince down!" ”
