"Bai Ruyu, do you think it's the speed at which you escaped, or the speed at which the official pierced your neck?"

  After arresting the person, Mei Changqing handed over the blood-stained long sword to Zhao Qingwen, looked at Lord Qiu's blushing face, and comforted the frightened Lord Qiu.

  "My lord, don't worry, the lower officials will not tell Father Bai about your accepting bribes."

  "Master Qiu, what do you say? The riot only happened when you came to Nanyuan County, so you can't clear your suspicions. ”

  Mei Changqing's movements in his hands were ruthless, which made Lord Qiu very weak-hearted, Lord Qiu had been in a high position for a long time, and he was a literati who was talking, he was frightened by Mei Changqing, and suddenly had no idea.

  He finally found a helper! was caught by Mei Changqing like this?

  Lord Qiu pointed at Bai Ruyu, glared at Mei Changqing, and held back two words for a long time, "Bold!" ”

  "Bold?" Mei Changqing was about to be laughed at by Lord Qiu's brain, it's time to be "bold"?

  As soon as Mei Changqing and Lord Qiu had a good discussion of the current situation, they heard hurried footsteps coming out of the door, and it was the strategist who was waiting for Lord Qiu who rushed over.

  "Lord Qiu, my subordinates have found the place where Xu Zhi County hides the silver, and now we can arrange for the people to exchange the silver."

  The strategist next to Lord Qiu was when Lord Qiu married a concubine, and the queen mother sent people to Lord Qiu because her reputation was damaged.

  For so many years, he has been in charge of Lord Qiu's actions and advice, which can be regarded as making Lord Qiu a good official who "serves the country and the people".

  Gan Shupei felt bad about this matter, and he didn't dare to hand over such a big matter to the people next to him, so he could only find it in person, and after such a short period of effort, Lord Qiu was not very controlled.

  Gan Shupei looked at Lord Qiu with a masochistic appearance, chuckled in his heart, and turned his gaze to Mei Changqing.

  "Lord Chu, but what did Lord Qiu do wrong? Please also ask Lord Chu for the sake of Lord Qiu's unskilled business, forgive Lord Qiu this time, okay? ”

  If it was in the past, he would definitely make amends while carrying out the queen mother and the saint behind Lord Qiu, but in the face of Mei Changqing, he couldn't say this.

  Mei Changqing's white father, Lord Yao, didn't even give face to the saint.

  "The more silver that Governor Yang and Xu Zhixian are greedy for, the more there are 100,000 taels of silver, only, whether this batch of silver is real or not, and how much water there is, the subordinates do not know."

  When the money is found, it depends on whether the people recognize it. He couldn't say for sure.

  Mei Changqing didn't want Gan Shupei to solve everything, and seeing Gan Shupei's embarrassment, he finally showed kindness.

  "Okay, if you have silver, it's another story, but if you want to use Lord Qiu's means to collect money, there should be no shortage of silver." Mei Changqing looked at Bai Ruyu who was tied up strangely.

  Gan Shupei's heart that was put down suddenly shook.

  Gan Shupei is going to be angry to death, if there will be smoke on his head, maybe he will be roasted by now!

  "Lord Qiu, you say, where did this kid come from? Why don't my subordinates know? Gan Shupei eased his head, which was about to explode, and asked in a good voice.

  Lord Qiu, who was so frightened that he knew that he was in trouble, was like a quail at this time, unable to say half a word.

  If it is said that when Lord Qiu came, the stars held the moon and held the shelf of the Beijing official very well and was very majestic, but now Lord Qiu, where is the posture of being an official for half a point?

  This is clearly a child who has no courage and is in trouble again.

  Not surprisingly, Lord Qiu didn't know anything about this Bai Ruyu who appeared out of thin air, and almost made Gan Shupei angry.

  "Okay, since Lord Qiu doesn't know where this person came from or what it is, let his subordinates bring him back for interrogation first."

  Gan Shupei no longer counted on Lord Qiu's brain, and said directly to Zhao Qingwen, "I bother General Zhao Xiao to bring the bribed silver to Lord Chu together, and my subordinates are grateful." ”

  "Alas......" Lord Qiu was a little unwilling, and when he heard that the silver in his pocket was going to be given away, he suddenly screamed with a sigh.

  Gan Shupei glared at Master Qiu coldly, but he didn't hear it.

  He doesn't expect anything else now, he just wants to return to the capital safely during this trip to Guiyang Mansion, and quit this fateful errand with the queen.

  Following Lord Qiu, he has an axe hanging around his neck all the time, who knows when to put his life in?

  With Lord Qiu's additional silver, coupled with the assistance of Fan Tingshi and Fan Deyuan, it was not easy to calm the anger and riots of the people.

  After all, at the beginning, their Chu family could be regarded as finding a new way of life for the people of Nanyuan County, right?

  When Bai Yiyan saw her long-lost husband, she had already enjoyed high-end treatment in Master Liang's house for several days, that is, the food was more delicious than the kitchen lady in the house.

  She really didn't know that Mrs. Liang actually had some good cooking skills.

  When Mei Changqing followed the house slave to find him, the Liang family just arrived at the meal, and Master Shi was still on the table.

  Originally, she was an outsider and a woman, and she should have opened a separate table with Mrs. Liang, but now is a special period, and everyone is so familiar with it, so she is not so particular.

  However, the table uses communal chopsticks, which are acceptable.

  Mei Changqing took the opportunity to sit next to his little wife, took the chopsticks and ate them directly, quite eager, but everyone was bad.

  As the master of the house, Master Liang was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Lord Chu, do you see if you need no one to add two more dishes, this is ......?"

  Everyone ate almost enough, there were not many dishes, and the portion was originally sufficient, but when Mei Changqing came, everyone had eaten half of it.

  The mutual market is also ruined because of the case of official bank fraud, although the merchants all pay silver, but what about looking for silver? If it's recovered, who knows if it's true or not?

  The people of Nanyuan County made a fuss, and the businessmen who came and went to the mutual market were also coaxed at all, and Mei Changqing was very busy for this.

  Mrs. Liang cautiously lit the fire on the stove, and said to Bai Yiyan a little nervously, "Mrs. Chu, do you really want to learn how to cook wheat and make it for Lord Chu to eat?" ”

  The flour of the glutinous rice skin was finally done, and Bai Yiyan was next to the pot table, almost baked.

  "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this little thing is still difficult for me, we have nothing to do at home, I can just learn from you."

  When it comes to something she is willing to do, even if she is not good at it at all, she will stick to it.

  The mutual market stopped, she has been studying the wooden craft for several days, and she really doesn't want to draw any more drawings, so she can take advantage of this cooking to change her brain.

  Mrs. Liang was very hesitant, but she heard that the girls and wives of big families have been served by several maids since they were children, how can Mrs. Chu cook by herself?

  Let's take a look at the winter solstice and autumn water that are fighting with Bai Yiyan, how awkward Mrs. Liang looks.

  However, none of the three masters and servants found it weird, and even became interested in making siu mai.

  "Madam, the slave doesn't like to eat the siu mai with salted meat and mushrooms, why don't the slave and maid change the filling for the siu mai, instead?" Dong Solstice looked at the only remaining vegetables in the kitchen and hesitated.

  Really, she didn't know what could and couldn't be filled.

  Just look at a pair of gurgling eyes on the eggplant, just use the eggplant! On the winter solstice, the eggplant is peeled off, cut into small strips, and stirred with the cooked glutinous rice.

  "Sister Qiushui, do you want to use eggplant too? Maybe it's delicious? ”

  A big round eggplant, it's too much, she just cut it and threw it away, can't she throw the whole eggplant away?

  Qiushui watched that the eggplant on the winter solstice had changed color, black and white sticky rice were mixed together, and she didn't want to use eggplant at all, which would affect her appetite.

  "You should keep the eggplant for yourself, I don't need it, I use something else."

  For the refusal of autumn water, the winter solstice is not regretted at all, anyway, the more types, the more types you can eat, and you will know what kind of siu mai is delicious in the future.

  Burning noodles and porcelain, eating into the stomach, not to mention hunger, can quickly fill the stomach, for the current Mei Changqing, it is the best dry food.

  After all, it's much better than naan.

  Bai Yiyan made a model of roasted noodles in his left heart, Mrs. Liang sometimes couldn't warp it, and would give Bai Yiyan a word or two of advice, seeing that the roasted wheat was placed in the steamer, Bai Yiyan finally smiled with satisfaction.

  "Mrs. Ben thinks that this siu mai will definitely be delicious."

  She didn't dare to put too much salt, lest it taste too salty, and Mrs. Liang originally wanted to remind her that she had less precautions, but she refused with righteous words.

  The reason is that Mei Changqing doesn't like to eat salty, so she should like what she does!

  Walking deep and shallow into the mountains, Mei Changqing suddenly felt a little itchy nose, and kept sneezing, with a non-stop posture.

  Mei Changqing covered his nose with a brocade handkerchief, wondering if he was allergic to something here, and hurriedly urged Chu Fei to leave quickly.

  "It's good to be in the mountains, although Fan Tingshi and Fan Deyuan are distant brothers, they actually have a tacit understanding when they do things."

  Before being imprisoned, Fan Tingshi had been worried about Jiangnan's affairs, and he actually let him forget such an important matter!

  Mei Changqing looked at Fan Tingshi unexpectedly, and laughed weirdly, "Fan Tingshi's brain turned very fast, and he actually thought of Master Cao so quickly from a villain." ”

  "What, this person is Lord Cao's subordinate?"

  Fan Tingshi shook his head for the first time, even if he said this, he didn't believe it.

  Fan Tingshi has worked with Lord Cao for so many years, but he deeply understands Lord Cao's frugality, and this Lord is even more affectionate to the people like a loving son, how could he be involved in this kind of thing?

  Mei Changqing shook his head when he saw Fan Tingshi, frowned for a while, and didn't care, but instead entered the cave.

  Almost as soon as he came in, Mei Changqing felt that he was about to be roasted, and his whole body exuded a scorching breath, as if he could melt himself by taking a deep breath.

  The strong man who was in charge of smelting the silver inside was shirtless, and the beads of sweat on his back fell down quickly, and there was a kettle at the feet of the strong man.

  Under the high temperature, even the Hu in the kettle is scorching hot.

  Mei Changqing calculated, looking at the increasing fake silver next to him, he really couldn't violate his conscience and make this group of people work harder.

  He didn't want to be a wicked man who oppressed the people.

  Fan Deyuan saw that he shouted in, hurriedly passed his shirt, stared at Mei Changqing with blank eyes, and asked eagerly, "Lord Chu, when you went out of the mountain, did you see my wife and three children?" ”

  When he came out of the prison, he didn't even have time to go home, he only saw his wife and children at the door of the cell, and he was taken to the cave by Mei Changqing's people.

  If he could, Fan Deyuan would like to communicate with Mrs. Fan about the situation outside, but Lord Chu would not give him this price at all.

  Fan Deyuan is really anxious, he is not afraid of anything happening to Mrs. Fan, but he is worried about a few children, after all, no matter how powerful her wife is, she can't protect three of them at once.

  "Mrs. Fan's spirit is acceptable, and the three children have not been affected by the people's riots, so you can rest assured."

  Mei Changqing admired Mrs. Fan's exception, and when the riot occurred, she immediately scattered all her family wealth, so as to hold the stability of several children.

  In these years, silver is unreliable, what else is there for scientific research?

  Simply, because of the overtime work in the past few days, the people learned that they could exchange silver, and the exchange of silver was still real, and the atmosphere of riot had become less and less.

  This is only that the anger of the people in Nanyuan County has been calmed down, and as for the other counties in Guiyang Prefecture, Mei Changqing does not dare to guarantee it.

  However, when the already dangerous situation in Nanyuan County eased up, Mei Changqing stared at the venerable Lord Qiu and sang the praises of his great figure in the riot this time with gorgeous rhetoric.

  Although you can't ask for grace from the saint directly, with the help of Lord Qiu's hand, it's not bad to ask for interest.

  God knows what it looked like when Lord Qiu wrote this untrue letter, he vomited blood in his heart, he had never seen such a shameless person.

  However, the personal strategist has been bought by Mei Changqing, and he is pressed to use gorgeous rhetoric to describe the evil ghost in front of him.

  In order to make this gorgeous letter look real, Gan Shupei accidentally made a small cut on Lord Qiu's thumb, and the blood that flowed from the small wound was just enough to cover Lord Qiu's entire finger.

  When the wound was pressed and a big finger was imprinted on the fold, Lord Qiu screamed in pain.

  "You, you, you! Gan Shupei, you dare to commit a crime! ”

  Master Qiu jumped high, eager to wake up Gan Shupei's brain with a slap.

  "Since Lord Qiu is unwell, he should recuperate in the county office, and from today onwards, he will not be active externally." As for the deadline? When will it end, when will it be said.

  Gan Shupei also knew this truth, and did not dare to have any rebuttals.

  Zhao Qingwen took Lord Cao's letter into his arms, and did not go to the mountains to find Mei Changqing first, but the first thing that came to mind was Bai Yiyan, who was deep in the Liang family.

  I heard that Lord Yao, the head of the household, has spoiled his daughter as a baby since he was a child, and he is as neat as the autumn wind sweeping the leaves for his son, and as warm as a spring breeze for his daughter.

  The spring breeze is by the east wind, and the little girl grew up under the influence of the government since she was a child.

  Lord Cao united with the foundry in Jiangnan to transform the silver, and it was inconvenient for King Liang to interfere in this matter, but the Hubu Shangshu could still check his hands.

  When he was in Lainanyuan County, His Royal Highness King Liang specially told him to let him come to Bai Yiyan.

  When it was not easy to try all kinds of fillings of the roasted wheat, the people of the Liang family, in the past few days, have changed the color of the roasted wheat sky, and regard the roasted wheat as a tiger's thing.

  There is no way, Bai Yiyan, the three masters and servants, are very strange about everything, that is, sweet roasted wheat with fruit filling, and they have made a lot.

  When this General Zhao Xiao came with the letter, everyone in the Liang family looked at General Zhao Xiao, their eyes were about to light up, they stared at General Zhao Xiao in unison, and then turned their eyes to the newly baked roasted wheat on the table.

  The eyes of the high-profile generals, General Zhao Xiao only regarded it as a common man who had never seen an official, and ignored it.

  "Mrs. Chu, this is a letter from the Governor of Zhongzhou to Lord Qiu."

  General Zhao handed the letter to Bai Yiyan, but Bai Yiyan only knew how to stare at the roasted wheat on the table, and handed General Zhao Xiao a pair of chopsticks very understandingly.

  "Lord Qiu's letter? You put it here, let's try this siu mai first! ”

  Today's siu mai is the first time to try, well, black sesame paste and brown sugar filling, it should be sweet, right? It's all glutinous rice, glutinous rice balls and siu mai, which seem to be about the same.

  Stuffed with a pair of chopsticks, General Zhao Xiao was a little at a loss, and looked at Mrs. Chu who was looking at him strangely.

  "Mrs. Chu, it doesn't seem like it's time for lunch, right?" It's afternoon, what else are you eating? Also, what is on the cage drawer, why hasn't he seen it?

  Bai Yiqian ignored General Zhao Xiao's remarks that he didn't eat at noon, and stuffed the cage drawer to General Zhao Xiao's side.

  "Come on, come on, you can taste it too, this is something I've never tried before, the first time, it should taste good."

  Confident words, still in the ears, every time, every new experiment, Mrs. Chu said that it tasted good, but actually? Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I really don't want to move chopsticks.

  Mrs. Liang remembered Mrs. Chu's pitiful and very depressed expression, and she felt very awkward in her heart, and she couldn't bear it.

  said that it was understanding, Mrs. Liang didn't move her chopsticks herself, and quietly twisted a handful of soft meat on Lord Liang's waist, the meaning was self-evident.

  Master Liang pulled the corners of his mouth and quickly sandwiched a piece of siu mai, the sweet taste of sesame seeds in the mouth, which made Master Liang nod with satisfaction, but after continuing to chew two bites, the smile froze on his face.

  "How's that, how's it going, isn't it delicious?"

  Bai Yiyan was very surprised, the siu mai she made was finally delicious!

  Master Liang struggled to control his expression, trying to make his smile more natural rather than tense.

  Master Liang was embarrassed to tell the truth, Mei Changqing, a person who was hidden in the mountains and was lucky enough to taste it, finally had the right to speak, pulled the corners of his mouth, and looked at Chu Fei.

  "You say, this is the siu mai that Madame herself made for Lord Ben? Delicious siu mai? ”

  Chu Fei didn't think there was anything wrong, when Xiao Wu came with the food box, he also specially told him, and he even told the young master the original words, what, is there anything wrong with this?

  The young master heard that this was the roasted wheat made by the lady herself for the cook, but it was very precious that no one was allowed to touch the roasted wheat in the food box, and now he actually questioned it?

  "My lord, my subordinates don't have the courage to lie to you, that's what Xiao Wu said, this food box, but Mrs. personally packed it up and gave it to you."

  A successful family can lead the whole clan to prosper, but when you meet someone who drags behind, you really drag people to hell, and they don't die fast enough.

  Mei Changqing came out of the bagasse in the family, which is already considered lucky.

  "Lord Fan, it backfired, since Fan Tingshi is not worried about dying in vain, what are you worried about?"

  Anyway, this distant relative of the Fan family really got involved, although Lord Fan's family will be affected, they can still survive.

  It's just that there is no good place to survive, and the Northwest Frontier is very bitter.

  "The silver I got from Lord Qiu is limited to the people of our Nanyuan County, Guiyang Mansion is so big, the fake silver is not only here for us, the rest, who knows."

  As soon as Lord Qiu came, he went straight to Nanyuan County, several other counties in Guiyang Prefecture, and Lord Qiu did not go.

  It's also sad to think about it, the life savings of the little people are not only fake, but also suppressed by brute force.

  All they can do now is to make the entire Nanyuan County stable and block the city gate of Nanyuan County, so that the people of other counties will not break in.

  Lord Fan thought so in his heart, he just wanted to keep his family from being harmed now, and he really couldn't look like anything else, and he didn't dare to think about it.

  "Lord Chu is noble." Fan Deyuan arched his hand at Mei Changqing and ran out quickly.

  Mei Changqing didn't force it, picked up the roasted wheat, and hesitantly put the roasted wheat back, "Didn't you say that the two families had no surplus grain?" The little girl knows how to deceive. ”

  Chu Fei listened to the whispered complaints, was speechless, spontaneously put away the food box, and went to inspect the mountain with the young master.

  In the past few days, he has stolen a lot of silver through the secret passage of the county government, and the place where the silver is smelted in the deep mountains is much higher than the level of refining in their cave.

  "Young master, the silver ingots that were only opened in the morning at this time are not fake on their faces, they are all true."

  The silver ingots of the white flowers are a little smaller than the normal ten taels of silver, but the silver exudes a silvery-white color, which is very eye-catching.

  The intact real silver, which is not very good at removing impurities, is even more precious when smelted together.

  "Guiyang Mansion has been controlled by the Governor of Zhongzhou, and today Lord Qiu also received a letter from the Governor of Zhongzhou, but this letter was handed over to General Zhao Xiao by Gan Shupei."

  Chu Fei told the news that Xiao Wu had sent in to his young master.

  Mei Changqing frowned, he really couldn't understand Gan Shupei's choice, originally, he thought that Gan Shupei would choose to form an alliance with him as soon as possible.

  "General Zhao Xiao didn't have anything to say when he got the letter? The governor of Zhongzhou was involved in the official silver fraud, and General Zhao Xiao should have sent a letter to the capital as soon as possible. ”

  The saint's fancy for silver, and King Liang's fancy for the people, General Zhao Xiao, as King Liang's personal guard, shouldn't know where King Liang's thunder point is.

  If General Zhao Xiao didn't send the letter, could it be that Liang Wang Ye had anticipated this situation early on and let General Zhao Xiao have full authority to solve it?

  Zhao Qingwen also wanted to ask, what did Bai Yiyan think, was pinched by Master Shi and forced to eat a roasted wheat, salty and sour taste, sticky taste, is it disgusting?

  Now is not the time of emergency, the official bank is prepared for natural disasters, so naturally it is necessary to solve the root cause. Zhao Qingwen didn't quite agree with Bai Yiyan's indifferent attitude.

  Natural disasters are sudden and do not give people a chance to react at all.

  Bai Yiyan also understands this truth, but she is not rigid, the things that can be solved by silver are not a matter, since there is silver, why not let the people restore productivity as soon as possible?

  As long as the people are well, even if a natural disaster comes, everyone will still have the confidence to live, right?

  However, it can cut everyone's hope. Why can't you use official money? When the people have calmed down and all their lives have been restored, are you still afraid that the money will not be collected?

  When you are rich and pay taxes and money, you will also abide by the legal calendar, right? Besides, this incident was not caused by the greed of the officials?

  It's obviously not the people's fault, so why let the people bear the consequences? Why?

  Bai Yiyan could ask loudly, but she didn't want to, "You go to someone else for this matter, you can't borrow my father's momentum, maybe His Royal Highness King Liang can help you, you go to King Liang." ”

  King Liang is not a brutal person, otherwise he would not have done anything to fight for power for the people.

  Zhao Qingwen didn't expect to run into a wall here in Bai Yiyan, although Bai Yiyan said roughly, but he was telling the truth, and the people should not be blamed for this matter.

  The people's lives are difficult, but the official bank can't be moved, if the official bank is moved, in case of another natural disaster, the people of Guiyang Mansion really have to wait for death.

  "Mrs. Chu, do you have a good way to do both?"

  。
