Xia Yanxiu had been worried about this matter, and as soon as Xia Jinse made it clear, his face sank.

It's just that in front of Xia Jinse, Xia Yanxiu's face was about to be tightened, so he pretended to be indifferent: "What is there to worry about for my father?" When the six princes went out on an errand, it was normal to encounter some small problems, but it was also the people below who were not good at doing things, so something happened, what does it have to do with the six princes? ”

As if to comfort himself, he seemed calm and smiled faintly after speaking.

"If the sixth prince is so calm with his father, it would be good, but it's a pity ......"

Xia Jinse glanced at him, picked out some of the news that Leng Mo had detected, and said: "Now that there has been a murder, the villagers of the entire village have reported to the local government to obstruct the six princes from building embankments and dams, and they will also pay a huge amount of compensation." If I were the sixth prince, I would definitely be in a hurry, not to mention that things can't be done, and I will cause chaos, what will happen if the emperor knows about it? ”

Xia Yanxiu's face twitched, he was worried about it, but he didn't know how to solve it, Xia Jinse specifically mentioned this, did he come back to slap him in the face?

"You just have to say it, what do you want?" He said in a deep voice.

"I also care about my family, so I asked more. Father, you haven't thought about this incident, why did the second prince go to collect the field tax so smoothly, but the sixth prince went on an errand but there were many obstacles? Is it true that the sixth prince is less capable than the second prince? ”

Xia Yanxiu's heart sank, and when he was reminded by Xia Jinse, he suddenly thought of something.

Before, he was only thinking about why the six princes were so unlucky, and the people below were so unreliable, but now he reacted, and he was afraid that he would be rectified. The sixth prince is competing with the second prince, even if the second prince can really complete the matter of the field tax, but if the errand of the sixth prince is also done well, wouldn't it be a tie again?

Therefore, if something happens to the six princes, someone must have done something to them!

"You mean, it's the second prince......" Xia Yanxiu looked at Xia Jinse, and couldn't help but feel angry.

"Yes or no, my father must know it in his heart, just ask a little bit to know." Xia Jinse said: "Tian Shui has been the heart disease of the imperial court over the years, and the emperor and Lan Beichen are also anxious about it. Why did the second prince go this time, and it was done in only a month? Is it really that the second prince has outstanding ability, and everyone is infected by his princely spirit, and he responds to every call? ”

"You mean, the second prince's field tax is also problematic?" Xia Yanxiu was broken by Xia Jinse, and immediately noticed the problem.

Thinking about it, the second prince Lan Hongzhuo is a good talent, but he is not as strong as the emperors of all dynasties. Why did the second prince solve a problem that had not been solved for thousands of years in just one month?

The five million taels of tax silver were transported back, but they were robbed halfway, which is even more illustrative, maybe the silver itself does not exist!

Xia Yanxiu's heart jumped, if this is the case, the second prince really has a big plan!

not only wants to use this to complete the task, but also suppresses the six princes and frames the nine princes Lan Beichen, as long as the opponent of the six princes is removed, and then the nine princes are eradicated, then Lan Hongzhuo will become the prince and become the next lord of Daqing, just around the corner!

Xia Yanxiu immediately thought of Lan Jingcheng, the failed prince, from Lan Hongzhuo's incident.

Lan Hongzhuo defeated Lan Jingcheng, and now he is suppressing the sixth prince Lan Yuqi, if this matter cannot be solved, the ninth prince Lan Beichen doesn't care if he doesn't care, but the Zuo Xiangfu is also implicated and suppressed, Xia Yanxiu is unwilling.

At that time, even if the old man comes back, I am afraid that he will be taken over by Lan Hongzhuo and his faction, and I am afraid that everything that the Xia family has worked so hard to have will come to naught!

Xia Yanxiu was silent, his face was solemn, Xia Jinse's eyes were bright, and he said quietly: "So father, what do you think should be done?" ”

"The second prince is far-sighted......" Xia Yanxiu said with a dark face.

"I thought about it, if my father didn't want the prime minister to be implicated, there were only two ways." Xia Jinse said: "First, help the six princes solve the affairs of the villagers, including the murder case, the ancestral grave problem, and so on. There is also the silver tael needed to build the embankment, after all, the household department only allocated 500,000 yuan to the six princes, if the father can fund some money, the affairs of the six princes may be turned over. ”

Listening to Xia Jinse's words, Xia Yanxiu's mind turned.

But he quickly shook his head and said, "This is not appropriate. ”

Naturally, it is convenient and quick to subsidize money, but the problem is that he can't come up with the money at all. The Prime Minister's Mansion was already unable to make ends meet, and he also hoped that Meng Yao would be able to get some benefits after marrying the Six Princes' Mansion. Although he really wanted to help the six princes, if he wanted him to pay, he could only have enough spare energy.

Knowing for a long time that Xia Yanxiu would not accept this method, Xia Jinse said again: "Then the second method, if my father can use his connections to find out about the second prince's tax and silver tricks this time, he will definitely be able to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle and expose the conspiracy of the second prince." ”

"Greasy with tax silver?" Xia Yanxiu muttered to himself.

Yes, this is a key point, combined with the current situation, it seems that the second prince can raise five million taels of silver in a month, there must be a problem. He can send people to inquire about the places where the second prince has collected taxes, especially those squires and tyrants who pay taxes, and what is going on behind the scenes, as long as the actions are secret, it is not impossible.

When the conspiracy of the second prince was revealed, even if the sixth prince did not complete the task, at most the two would still be tied. But the current crisis has been solved, but there is another point, isn't the Nine Princes Lan Beichen ......

Xia Yanxiu stared at Xia Jinse, and said with a look of seeing through her trick: "It turns out that you want to use your father to help the Ninth Prince solve the case." Jinse, you've done a good job! ”

"How can this be used?"

Xia Jinse lightly hooked his lips: "Father and daughter are a family, shouldn't the family help each other?" My father found out the details of the second prince's tax money, and I also arranged for someone to check the truth about the robbery of the tax silver. When the crisis of the six princes is solved, the father will not have to worry, this is a win-win situation! ”

"Lan Beichen is the ninth prince, but after all, he is also your son-in-law, this is a powerful relationship, I think my father should be clear, I don't need to say more."

Xia Yanxiu's heart sank, yes, this is indeed the key.

Now he and Xia Jinse have a common opponent, and they have to solve the matter of the second prince, otherwise once the tax and silver case cannot be clarified, the second prince will win. If he cooperated with Xia Jinse at this time, he would not only expose the conspiracy of the second prince, but also sell it to the ninth prince.

Thinking of this, Xia Yanxiu finally moved: "What you said is not bad, Jin Se, okay, I will help you as a father." ”

"It's not about helping me, it's about helping each other, and it's right for each other, father." Xia Jinse laughed, since Xia Yanxiu agreed to help, the odds of winning were a few points higher, and she was more confident that she could solve this matter.

After feeling a little relaxed, Xia Jinse said casually: "By the way, how is Aunt Su's health?" ”

Xia Yanxiu nodded, and a smile appeared: "It's been stable recently, since the last time you helped Aunt Su to have a baby, the child has been stable, Jin Se, your medical skills are really powerful." ”

Seemingly a little curious, he asked, "Jin Se, which military doctor did you learn this medical skill from?" My father seems to remember that your grandfather didn't have such a good medical doctor? ”

Xia Jinse naturally wouldn't tell him, but said: "I don't know my father, and the military doctor only said that I have a good talent since I was a child, maybe I am better than blue." Aunt Su is now a month old, she must take care of her body more, and I will go to see him again by the way. ”

Xia Yanxiu couldn't wait, and hurriedly said: "Okay, you go to see Aunt Su again, you must take care of her body." ”

With that, the two of them walked towards Qingrong Garden.

Xia Yanxiu had an idea in his heart, and he was a little more stable, and told Xia Jinse about the Prime Minister's Mansion along the way. It is nothing more than that Meng Yao is the future sixth princess, and she is married well, Aunt Su's child is about to be born, and it is best to be a son. If Aunt Wan is pregnant again, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be lively, and there will finally be hope.

It seemed that his worries for many days gradually dissipated, and he began to be proud again, Xia Jinse listened to what he said along the way, his eyebrows fluttered, his face lit up, and he didn't bother to hit him. After all, Xia Yanxiu still needs to help check the matter of land tax, so I won't talk about some uncertain worries.

Su Shi was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, and the two girls next to him were waiting, and the master and servant were talking and laughing.

As soon as he saw Xia Yanxiu coming, Su Shi was immediately overjoyed, but when he saw Xia Jinse also coming, he smiled even more enthusiastically: "Master, why is the princess here?" The concubine is too heavy to salute......"

Xia Yanxiu helped her in the past, and said with concern: "Hey, whatever the salute, it's all a family, you're welcome." Jin Se came to see you, is the child okay? ”

His eyes fell on Su's bulging lower abdomen, and he looked kindly and expectantly, it was an emotion that Xia Jinse had never seen before, and he could clearly feel his expectation and love for the child in Su's womb. Compared to the feelings for her, it was a world of difference.

Xia Jinse asked Su Shi to sit down and checked her pulse again.

Su Shi said with concern: "Princess, are the children of the concubine okay?" In the past few days, the concubine has felt a lot more comfortable, and she can often feel that the child is moving, which is quite powerful. ”

The maternal brilliance on her face, the expectation of the birth of the child, Xia Jinse was a little embarrassed.

"Judging from the pulse, the child is growing well, as long as it continues like this, it will be born in more than three months." She could only say this, and even hoped in her heart that there was no problem with the child in Su's womb, the child was innocent after all, not to mention that Su was looking forward to the arrival of this child so much.

If you really find out that something is wrong with the child, you can imagine the blow Su Shi received.

Su Shi and Xia Yanxiu glanced at each other, with a smile on their faces, Xia Yanxiu paused, and said tentatively: "Jinse, can you tell whether Aunt Su is pregnant with a boy or a girl?" ”

Su Shi suddenly became nervous, why didn't she want to give birth to a son?

She is just a concubine, only when she gives birth to a son, the future days can be guaranteed, do you think that when she had the Guangzong, Xia Yanxiu cared more about her? How good is it for the Light Sect?

"Father asked this?" Xia Jinse didn't just say it, but said lightly: "It's all my father's flesh and blood, isn't it the same to give birth to a boy and a girl?" Why bother. ”

Xia Yanxiu frowned, then stretched out again, and said: "You can't say that, as a father, there is only one son of your brother Junping, and the Xia family is not prosperous!" If Aunt Su gives birth to a son in this birth, in fact, the girl can compare? ”

"Master~~!" Su Shi's heart trembled and shouted.

"You have to have a son." Cheyenne repaired the way.

Originally, he was just a little nervous and expectant, but Su Shi was suddenly panicked by Xia Yanxi's words. What if she gave birth to a daughter?
