Chapter 143: Elm Head

In addition to Nanyuan County, which can be calmed down, other places in Guiyang Mansion are really in dire straits, the people's livelihood is complaining, and the official bank can't be moved, he doesn't know what else can convince the people.

The consequences of the riot are not something that the people can bear.

Bai Yiyan looked at Zhao Qingwen with a helpless look, sighed, and was very helpless, "Corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, even if the official money is gone, but the people are appeased?" ”

If you lose something, you gain something, you can't just keep the unknown and let the situation continue to be bad, right?

The people are the foundation of the court, how can the person in front of him not think clearly about such a simple matter?

"The disaster hasn't happened yet, what are you doing in a hurry? Besides, if there is really a natural disaster, it's useless to keep the silver? Life-saving is food and drinking water, without these two, how much silver is not enough? ”

Could it be that this person is the most elm-headed general under King Liang?

Calling Zhao Qingwen General Zhao Xiao is actually not because Zhao Qingwen is young, but because he is a small general.

Such a big truth, this person just couldn't figure it out, Bai Yiyan was very depressed, and returned the letter sent by Lord Cao to General Zhao Xiao.

"Okay, don't look for me in this matter, there is no silver and no things, you still want to empty the gloves and the white wolf? What Lord Cao asked, Lord Qiu, if there is a problem, Lord Qiu is also responsible, you are a small soldier, what are you doing so much? ”

Qiushui invited Zhao Qingwen outside, but he also didn't understand why General Zhao Xiao was obsessed with the official silver, the official silver was dead, but the people of Li were alive.

Is there anyone more important than the people?

Zhao Qingwen was helpless, so he gave everything to Mei Changqing, he wouldn't eat such an unpalatable roasted wheat a second time. Na Cheng thought, he carried the food box, and finally sent it to the mountain, Mei Changqing was already ready to invite him to eat siu mai together.

"This ...... These were also sent in by Mrs. Chu? It's all done by Mrs. Chu herself? He tugged at the corners of his mouth, his expression was indescribable.

This kind of bad food can't be eaten at all, so the two wonders of the Chu family still want to take this and invite people to taste it together.

Regarding the roasted wheat made by Bai Yiyan, General Zhao Xiao refused with righteous words.

"Lord Chu, this is specially prepared for you by Mrs. Zun, you can eat it yourself, I don't have that blessing, I can't enjoy such delicious things."

Even if he followed His Royal Highness Lord Liang to fight in the north and south, sometimes although he didn't even have anything to eat, at least he could enter it, right?

The roasted wheat made by Mrs. Chu, let alone the mouth, can simply disgust people.

If Mei Changqing wants to get the case of official bank fraud thoroughly, he can't just start from Xu Zhixian, but from Xu Zhixian's family, he has to start with the two daughters of Xu Zhixian's family.

Cao Xi was detained in a prison cell, and the treatment was still relatively good, at least there was a single room, and because of Mei Changqing's advice, every day, someone would watch to ensure that Cao Xi would not commit suicide.

Of course, Cao Xi didn't want to die yet.

As Lord Chu's right-hand man, confronting the eldest girl, Bai Yiyan felt that it was more appropriate for her to go out in person.

Although Cao Xi is detained in a prison cell, many conditions are not allowed in Oudu, but Cao Xi has the ability to make himself look clean every day, even his hair is meticulously combed.

Cao Xi sat on the hay and watched Bai Yiyan enter her cell in gorgeous clothes.

"What are you going to do?" Cao Xi glanced at Bai Yiyan's pretentious posture and smiled coldly.

Bai Yiyan didn't care about Cao Xi's attitude, so she asked the official to move a stool and do it, and said with a smile, "What am I doing here, shouldn't you have guessed it a long time ago?" ”

"Do you remember the cave you used to smelt official silver?"

Originally, she listened to Mei Changqing say that Bai Yiyan had made herself a cave for smelting pure silver, and she was fiercely surprised.

She always thought that although Cao Xi had a hand in business and housekeeping, she didn't expect that Cao Xi would be able to carry Lord Xu, who got along day and night, behind his back, and hold money under Lord Xu's nose.

Cao Xi listened to Bai Yiqian mention the cave where silver was smelting, and she was a little unsure if Bai Yiqian knew something, but even if she knew, what could she do?

"Why, you found my cave? The people of Nanyuan County are crazy, don't you just take the money in my private treasury to help the people? ”

Is there anything more ridiculous than this? took someone else's silver, and even wanted her to spit out more proud silver, why?

"Mrs. Chu, you must know that insatiable people have no good end, you shouldn't want to let yourself die very young, right? My money is not something you can touch. ”

It was the money the people above asked for, but it wasn't hers.

"Cao Xi, instead of arguing with me here, you should think about how to make yourself live longer."

No matter how cunning the fox is, one day its tail will be exposed, this is something that can't be helped, who makes the people above not ready to stop?

Liang Wangye, the elder brother of the saint, is also more sophisticated than the saint.

It is true that the mountain of Guiyang Mansion is far away, but the whole world is not the king's land, if King Liang really wants to do it, the saint will definitely approve it with both hands.

Ambition has always been a good thing, and Lord Liang's ambition probably wants to go down in history, right? Be a good person who is talked about by the people.

This is also what she heard from her father, and then she thought about everything King Liang did, he was extremely dedicated to the people, and she had to agree with her father's statement.

Cao Xi was not born at the wrong time, but the environment in which she grew up limited all her knowledge.

For example, when it comes to marrying, it is clear that she can have more choices, even if she wants to rely on her own means to make herself sit back and relax for the rest of her life, there is really no need to look at her husband.

No, Mei Changqing will indeed climb to the high position step by step, but Mei Changqing is not the only one above the high position, right?

The compassionate gaze made Cao Xi, who was always concerned about Bai Yiyan, very angry, these days, she suppressed her anger more than once or twice, and finally calmed down her heart, just because of Bai Yiyan's eyes, the calm suddenly dissipated without a trace.

The fear of death has already tormented the plain people to madness.

Cao Xi grabbed the straw under his body, curbing the restless impulsion in his body.

If it weren't for Bai Yiyan being surrounded by many officials, she would definitely rush up to grab Bai Yiyan's face and let Bai Yiyan bury her.

It's all going to die, pull one down, and earn it yourself.

However, she couldn't be impulsive yet, and she was sure that as long as she moved, these people would grab her and avoid her, and they wouldn't let her succeed so easily.

After Mei Changqing finished taking a bath and dried her wet long hair with a cloth towel, she went to the dining hall slowly and saw a rare table of intact meals.

In the past, the little wife would wait for him at the dining table, but at that time, Yue'er had almost eaten.

Mei Changqing likes the changes in his little wife very much, but this change is too big, and some of them make him feel very abnormal, Yue'er, aren't you sick?

However, he didn't dare to ask this, because he was afraid that as soon as he said it, his little wife would blow up.

"Come on, hurry up and eat." Seeing Mei Changqing standing still at the door, Bai Yiyan beckoned to Mei Changqing.

"Aren't you tired all day, you haven't eaten at home for a while, and today things are busy, so you can eat normally."

As soon as he mentioned eating, Mei Changqing felt that his brain hurt, and he subconsciously looked at the dining table, fortunately, there was really no roasted wheat today.

didn't eat the disgusting roasted wheat, Mei Changqing felt that the whole person was alive, the change of the little wife was a good thing, it seemed that Yue'er and Mrs. Liang had to get along more.

With a gentle woman, the little wife will become gentle and considerate, how good.

Mei Changqing was complacent about his decision, so he naturally sat next to his little wife and used chopsticks to take the first bite of food for his little wife.

"Yue'er has been working hard for a while, so you should eat more to make up for it."

Sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in the little wife's bowl, Mei Changqing looked at the little wife affectionately, and the shrewd eyes of the past seemed to be full of peach blossoms at this time, and the temptation was great.

Bai Yiyan was looked at by Mei Changqing's application, and the whole person became a little uncomfortable.

Hasn't this guy been trapped in the deep mountains and old forests all the time? Who did you learn these love words from? Could it be that there are some of those reckless men in the mountains who like to say this?

For some reason, when Bai Yiyan thought of the cave, he could think of the shirtless, thin and shriveled old man like a little monkey, and suddenly became smart.

Such a person should not be able to say such a sensual thing.

Bai Yiyan rubbed his arm, making himself feel less creepy, and hurriedly threw the fish in the bowl back to Mei Changqing.

"Husband, I'm too tired for a while, you better make up for yourself first, I've been losing weight recently, and I don't eat much at night, you don't have to worry about me."

Bai Yiyan sandwiched two mouthfuls of green vegetables, and in order to prove that he was really losing weight, he also helped Mei Changqing clip two more chopsticks and fish.

He wants to hit someone, what should he do? Mei Changqing has never felt that he has been so troubled today, it is true that the little wife's reason is very sufficient, but this is he personally picking up vegetables for the little wife, and he was thrown back like this?

Mei Changqing felt that he had no face.

On the bridge at the head of the stage, the two little maids beside the little wife stared at him directly, and almost couldn't help laughing.

bluntly refused, you can't really refuse Mei Changqing's heart at all, between husband and wife, the most important thing is to get along, and finally have a chance, how can you give up?

"Yue'er, don't you want to lose weight? Moving more after eating will help you lose weight, don't you say? ”

Mei Changqing was a little puzzled, this Lord Cao, even if he didn't deal with Fan Tingshi, shouldn't he let Fan Tingshi come to Guiyang Mansion for so long and ignore it, right?

Even if you ignore it, now that such a big thing has happened, shouldn't Cao Dudu come to Guiyang Mansion as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation?

Even Lord Qiu came, but this Lord Cao was very stable.

When it came to serious matters, Bai Yiyan remembered the situation of seeing Cao Xi, the eldest lady, in the cell during the day, and the words he said were full of coldness.

"No matter what kind of character Lord Cao is, in the official bank fraud case, he is definitely not clean."

In these years, there are few clean good officials, and even if they are clean, they are not necessarily good officials.

Just like Fan Deyuan first, if it weren't for Fan Wuliang, the cousin of his own family, he would still be at ease now.

The world is impermanent, "You also think about it, Lord Cao's fox tail will be revealed sooner or later, and the people of the other two provinces will have their own Lord Cao to arrange it." ”

There is another sentence that neither of them said, even if Lord Cao is not ready to arrange it, and the jar is broken, then the first unlucky one will probably be this Lord Cao.

The truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, even the ignorant children know that if there is a real riot in the two mansions, whether it is the people or the saints, the first one will take Lord Cao.

Mei Changqing was very worried, originally he just wanted to find out the suspicions from the dead old man in Mujia Village, so that he could have a place in the three-year assessment.

As long as the three-year assessment is excellent, his promotion is proper, and now this matter is making a big fuss, which makes him feel jealous in his heart.

He has only just come to Guiyang Mansion, and so many things have happened, how to think, how weird.

Mei Changqing held his little wife's hand tightly, his frightened heart instantly calmed down, and he suddenly smiled when he saw his little wife's fearless attitude.

"Yue'er is right, no matter what kind of character Lord Cao is, it has nothing to do with us."

is not a god, he can't control so many people, if Lord Cao wants to live, he will naturally take the lead in stabilizing the people under his rule, and will not let the people really riot.

Yunju's Mansion turned out to be the old bottom of a perennial hovering family in Xu Zhi County, and the scenery was still good, especially in this mid-autumn, the scenery was even more rare.

The evening had become a little cooler, and the moon above them shone brightly, casting a short shadow on the ground.

Walking outside the bamboo forest, listening to the gentle rustling of bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest, the two suddenly felt that the bamboo forest seemed to be a little gloomy.

"Husband, let's go back, shall we?"

couldn't help but want to rub her arm, but unfortunately her right hand was tightly held by Mei Changqing, which made her restrained.

Mei Changqing looked at his little wife's frightened appearance, and immediately smiled, "Wasn't Yue'er very bold before?" Why do you feel scared? ”

The Midyear Festival has passed, and I have never seen my little wife so scared.

Bai Yiyan didn't bother to look at Mei Changqing's expression laughing at her, and pulled Mei Changqing to walk quickly, "Don't you want to walk?" Standing outside the bamboo forest does not achieve the purpose of walking and eating. ”

Don't look at her as a woman, she is curly and graceful in her every move, but if she uncovers the face of everyone's beautiful girl, Bai Yiyan said that she can go faster than men.

Not only does he walk fast, but his steps are also very large, just like a man.

Mei Changqing was a little staggered by the strength of his little wife, and suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air, and suddenly felt that there was nothing left of the romantic and proud artistic conception under the moonlight.

Yes, Mei Changqing pulled his little wife outside the bamboo forest, listening to the rustling sound in the bamboo forest, just to enjoy the rare artistic conception.

God knows why the house doctor only prescribes a bunch of decoctions that are extremely bitter, and when he smells the taste from afar, he feels that it is bitter, and he has always refused.

It's a pity that the little wife didn't give him a chance to refuse.

If it weren't for the fact that the man in front of her was too big, Bai Yiyan would have felt that it was her little brother lying on cxhuang, and that kid from Tianyi would only sell miserably if he was sick since he was a child.

However, in their family, such a thing as selling miserably without taking medicine will never happen, who made her mother very iron-blooded.

If you don't take medicine, it means that you want to eat something else, well, then drink the porridge with Coptis chinensis, keep the hypocrisy of drinking, and the medicine will get rid of the disease.

In the past, she was also poisoned by medicinal porridge.

Therefore, when Mei Changqing's sick and weak appearance not only aroused Bai Yiyan's sympathy, but also made Bai Yiqian feel that Mei Changqing was still too sick and should eat more coptis.

Taking away the big hand that was weak and just put his arm on her hand, Bai Yiyan solemnly announced, "Since the husband is sick, the diet should be light, so as not to eat too greasy meals and collide with the medicinal properties." ”

It was like waiting for the death sentence, Mei Changqing felt that the sky was about to fall.

"Yue'er, what you said isn't true, right?" Mei Changqing didn't pretend to be weak anymore, her upper body relied on the strength of her arm support, half leaning back, looking at her.

"My husband is an adult, and what I said for my wife is not wrong, why are you so excited?"

With just a small finger, Bai Yiyan pushed Mei Changqing down on the bed, and was very gentle and virtuous to help Mei Changqing cover the quilt tightly.

"When you are sick, the natural food diet should naturally be light, although the husband just came out of the mountains and wanted to eat well, but isn't this a coincidence that he is sick? Dietary supplements, just skip it. ”

What a kind face, what kind words, but looking at Mei Changqing's eyes and ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he suddenly felt that he had nothing to love.

His favorite meat is gone, and he has to change a lot of vegetables to eat, which is really terrible.

Bai Yiyan asked Chu Fei to go to the pharmacy to get medicine, and also changed a small piece of silver horn and a lot of copper coins for Chu Fei, she only heard about it in the past few days, and it was popular to settle with copper coins on the street.

Those large strings of copper coins, Chu Fei only felt that the money bags couldn't bear the weight, but they ran fast.

The prescriptions prescribed by the government doctor are very common in Nanyuan County, especially here and surrounded by mountains, there are many wild medicinal materials in the mountains, and the pharmacies sell them very cheaply.

Chu Fei lay on the counter and took down the strings of copper coins first, because of the fake silver for a while, the things sold on the street are not a little expensive.

It's these three packs of cold medicine, which are enough for three taels of silver.

Fortunately, he took out a lot of copper coins, but it was very troublesome to count, and he and the young man counted the copper coins in piles in order to see them at a glance.

"Okay, guest officer, this is two thousand eight hundred dollars, you can take the rest."

The young man put away the copper coins in a cloth bag, listening to the impact sound of the copper coins thrown into the cloth bag, Chu Fei only felt that the days when Nanyuan County used silver were really a long way to go.

In the future, wouldn't their Chu family want to exchange all the silver in the box for copper coins? Dead end.

With a very heavy copper coin in exchange for three light packets of medicine bags, Chu Fei felt that he had to talk to the young master about the recent popular trends on the street.

You know, even silver can be faked, let alone copper coins.

In the past, copper coins were worthless when they were accumulated, but now transactions are settled with copper coins, and if even copper coins start to be faked, it will be really bad.

Chu Fei told the young master every detail he had seen, and with three packets of herbs, he became a thorn in the young master's eyes.

"Hmph, don't you use copper coins very well, everyone is not stupid, when the trend of fake silver is over, everyone will naturally still use silver, do you think everyone is like you, poor jingle bell?"

After pouring a bowl of trouser waist soup, Bai Yiyan took a small plate and stuffed Mei Changqing with 3 large apricot flesh in one go, the sweet and sour taste instantly suppressed the bitterness of the decoction.

The sweet honey, accompanied by the sourness of the apricot flesh, is soft in the mouth, not as sweet as imagined, but delicious.

Mei Changqing looked at the other two in the small plate with blank eyes, very much like a child who got delicious food and wanted to ask for it again.

thought that if he was a little weaker, he would be able to get the comfort and care of his little wife, but he thought that his set of thoughts would not work at all in front of his little wife.

Mei Changqing saw that his little wife ate the other two apricot meat in the small plate, and even took several out of the jar, but didn't give him any of them.

Decline, even if he is a man who doesn't pay attention to appetite, but he is now a sick number, what kind of treatment should a sick number have?

Mei Changqing felt that it was a pity, and stared at Bai Yiyan depressedly, but Bai Yiyan dispelled all his thoughts, "Secret apricot meat, this is a limited amount of preserved fruit every month, don't even think about it." ”

"Well, sick people can't eat sweets, that's a fact that children of several ages know, so don't worry about it."

Helping Mei Changqing tuck the quilt, Bai Yiyan walked away directly with the jar, not even leaving a chance to let Mei Changqing smell it.

After eating bitter medicine soup for three days in a groggy state, Mei Changqing's wind chill was finally cured, and even the big quilt that was covered could be taken outside to dry.

After saying goodbye to the three days of recuperation at home, Mei Changqing was summoned by Lord Qiu, and the temporary stability of Nanyuan County could not stabilize the entire Guiyang Mansion.

Fang Tongzhi, who had been watching from the wall in Guiyang Mansion all the time, hurriedly entered Nanyuan County when he saw that the situation in Guiyang began to become turbulent.

When Mei Changqing went, Fang Tongzhi had already finished singing the praises of his great move to sit in Guiyang Mansion, and was looking at Lord Qiu worriedly.

"My lord, the people of Guiyang Mansion are arguing that their own silver is fake, and let the government replace the real silver, and the lower officials really can't stabilize it, so they came to Nanyuan County to find you for a way."

Fang Tongzhi knows the Huairou policy very well, although he has changed out of the wrinkled clothes on his body, but the cuffs and collar can still see the marks of bruises.

"Don't talk about the body of the lower official, just the arm, look at it, my lord, the people of the barbarian land are so cruel!"

It's not that Fang Tongzhi is selling miserably, it's really that the situation in Guiyang Mansion is too acute, if you say that Nanyuan County is full of people, the people are poor, and they can't save much silver, and it will be okay to make a fuss for a while.

But Guiyang Mansion is different, Guiyang Mansion is a prosperous area, a place where poor people will not live, and some are rich.

It is precisely because there are more rich people and more merchants that it is even more terrifying.

"Lord Qiu, you are Lord Qincha sent by the Holy Lord, Guiyang Du is about to make a big fuss, can you give me an idea?"

Although Fang Tongzhi is also the eyeliner of the saint, but after so many years, Fang Tongzhi's liner has long changed, how can he give up the rights that he has enjoyed with great difficulty?

If it were something else, Fang Tongzhi would not ask Lord Qiu, but this time, he couldn't help himself, so he could only ask Lord Qiu.

It was not easy to calm down the frightened heart, where did Lord Qiu dare to check the matter of collecting cash?

"Fang Tongzhi, Governor Yang has already been imprisoned, now Guiyang Mansion is your own side, and now Guiyang Mansion is in the midst of a catastrophe, how can you retreat?"

"As the parents of the people, the people's livelihood has grievances, you should be obliged to do a good job of dedication to the people, you don't want to think about how you can stabilize the hearts of the people, and even dare to escape from Guiyang Mansion to Nanyuan County to take refuge?"

This thought crossed through Mei Changqing's mind, leaving no trace, the movement of money laundering was too big, and Governor Yang should not dare.

The most important thing for the blind is to prove to the merchants that their silver is real.

Fang Tongzhi had already given up, but when he heard Mei Changqing take the initiative to speak, all his thoughts came alive again.

"Lord Chu, do you have a solution? It is said that you are a young talent, and you are a champion at a young age, so tell me what the method is. ”

"Yes, yes, if Lord Chu has a way, he can quickly talk about it, hiding it and tucking it away, it will not be half beneficial to participate."

Lord Qiu's slightly blessed body sat up neatly in an instant, "The new champion Yuanlang really deserves his name!" ”
