Chapter 243: Pick Him Up
Steward Zhang immediately stopped, bent his waist lower and lower, and made a gesture of admitting his mistake.
"God is pitiful, the little one respects the prince and the princess the most, for the prince and the princess, I am willing to smear my liver and brain, and serving the prince and the princess is also the most delicious time in the small simple days."
Luo Qing chuckled.
"Steward Zhang's words are set in a set, what? It's mine, isn't it? ”
"The little ones don't dare, but the little ones are loyal to the prince and the princess, and they are also determined not to disrespect the Liuxi Gong...... The meaning of the steward, besides, the small one has lived in this Nanling Village for many years, and has a relationship with the fields here, and these tenants here, they also have feelings, even if they die, the small one also wants to die in this village. ”
Steward Zhang looked like he was bowing his waist and making a respectful appearance, but he didn't have a trace of respect for Luo Qing in and out of his words, and he was still holding a deputy leader, and what was even more annoying was that he also had a threatening meaning.
Luo Qing was not frightened, she simply hung up Steward Zhang, let the people continue to walk forward, arrived at the village, got down from the shelf chair, and then continued: "I rushed over this morning as soon as I dealt with the matter of Beijizhuang, I am really a little tired, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Halfway through, she turned around and ordered, "You can hand over the account book to Liuxi to take care of, and I'll read it when I rest." ”
"Yes." Steward Zhang saluted Luo Qing, and after sending her away, he took the account book away.
When Luo Qing looked at the ledgers piled up on the table, he had to sigh that this steward really has the means, but it's a pity that this mind doesn't have to be on the right path.
"I'm afraid it's not much of a problem, it's really a rainy day, this is the beginning of his account book is divided into two parts, and everything that can be taken out can be seen."
"There is another thing that the slave was negligent and failed to tell the princess early." Liuxi stood in the house respectfully, "Over the years, there have been many people in this village, and many people have moved into this village, all of whom are related to Steward Zhang. ”
Luo Qing instantly understood: "Then this matter is difficult to do, this village is his people inside and out, and most of the tenants who come to rent land in the village are also his people, and the property of this Nanling Village can be said to be almost in his hands." ”
"It's Liuxi's poor care, please punish the princess."
As soon as Yan Huai left the capital, although Prince Yi's mansion was still there, everyone was a person with their tails between their legs, and there were many things that they didn't dare to do, and even closed the door of the mansion every day, and he was really busy, and the moths that had grown in the past few years had not had time to clean up.
But that's not the reason he didn't get the job done.
Luo Qing could also see that Liuxi was an extremely loyal and responsible person, and he couldn't bear to punish him, so he said: "I have wronged you today, I know that you are dedicated to the prince and me, and you have worked hard in those years, and you have no ......."
"You will be punished." The wooden door squeaked, and Yan Huai, who was wearing a thick cloak, strode out from behind the screen placed at the door, "Just confiscate two months' worth of silver." ”
Luo Qing saw that it was Yanhuai, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly got up and jumped in front of him.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"The affairs of the court are over, and I will take a few days off, and I plan to accompany you to complete the tour of these Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, but as soon as I heard that you are coming to this Nanling Village, I know, this steward is not a good stubble, he didn't bully you, right?"
Yan Huai also hesitated for a long time when he used this steward, but thinking that this person still has some talent, let's take a look first, now they are really fattening their guts!
"He bullied me! And threaten me! Dare to bully Liuxi! You don't see his face, it's disgusting! ”
Luo Qing complained mercilessly.
"Really?" Yan Huai laughed when he heard this, how could his family Qingqing be so cute? "I'm going to clean him up!"
"yes, pack him up!" Luo Qing said viciously, he really has a backer, and he is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Yan Huai said that it was really not just a matter of cleaning up Steward Zhang, and he took Luo Qing to clean up early the next morning.
As soon as Steward Zhang heard that Yan Huai was going to take his position as a steward, he was unwilling, so he immediately asked: "The prince and the princess want to take the small position of steward, then they have to give a small name, if it is because of yesterday's small trouble Liuxi steward, yesterday's small one also apologized, and today the little one is here to solemnly apologize to Liuxi steward." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and said to Liuxi: "Liuxi is in charge, I was offended by many words yesterday, and I ask Liuxi to be more considerate." ”
Liuxi turned around and avoided Steward Zhang's gift, and said without giving face at all: "I can't afford Steward Zhang's gift, and I don't want to accept it." ”
Yan Huai hooked his lips and sneered: "Zhang Er, what kind of thing are you?" Dare to sneer at the chief steward of my palace! The princess's words dare to refute it! Who is this drama for? Come on, give Steward Zhang thirty boards, and then twist and send the yamen. ”
"Lord, there is no evidence, how can this convince the small ones, as well as the heads of the villages and tenants?" Steward Zhang looked distressed, this was unwilling to give way.
The corners of Yan Huai's mouth were still smiling, but a pair of eyes were like a knife, straight into Steward Zhang's chest.
"Who do you think the king needs to convince of his actions? To put it bluntly, this is the property of this king and this king's princess, this king wants to be in charge of this alone, and this king doesn't want to ask others about their wishes? What a joke! ”
Steward Zhang was coldly seen by Yan Huai, and after hearing his words again, his heart became more and more confused, but he thought that Yan Huai had been gone for so many years, and Rao is now back in the house, and his power is not as good as before, not to mention that he still has the handle on this Zhuangzi in his hand, he still doesn't believe that he can't keep it.

Even if he wants him to leave, he has to let Prince Yi's mansion let out some blood!
Thinking like this, he had some confidence again.
"The prince can indeed do whatever he wants, but he also has to convince the little one, after all, the little one also has some feelings with the head of the village and the tenants."
Yan Huai and Luo Qing were sitting in the pavilion at the edge of the field at this time, and there were tenants doing farm work outside, they were obviously listening to the conversation of several people with their ears open, and at this time, they all straightened up and looked at Yan Huai and Luo Qing sitting in the pavilion, as if they could pounce on them like wolves and bite them all like a wolf when they just waited for Steward Zhang's order.
"Steward Zhang is really magnificent." Luo Qing sneered, "Just with your attitude, who dares to accept you as a steward?" ”
Yan Huai didn't bother to beat around the bush, and stretched out his hand back, Chang Geng, who had been standing behind him, immediately stepped forward, took out the account book from his arms and put it in his hand.
He took the account book, but without looking at it, he threw it to the ground.
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the face is shameless."
Yan Huai's action of throwing out the account book was neat, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which inexplicably made people's backs chill, and even Luo Qing on the side was a little uncomfortable.
Yan Huai didn't do this to scare his own wife, he was busy reaching out under the table and grabbing Luo Qing to comfort her.
With her own husband here, Luo Qing didn't have to wear a long veil hat to avoid suspicion, she felt the warmth in her hand, and looked up and smiled at him.
When Yan Huai saw her like this, her mood suddenly improved a lot, and she lost the sharpness of Fang Cai, but there were people who couldn't see her eyes and stepped forward to touch her head.
"Where did this account book come from?" It was Manager Zhang who was questioned.
"Don't you know where Steward Zhang came from?" Yan Huai asked rhetorically.
Luo Qing sneered on the side: "No wonder Manager Zhang has been able to do things in Nanlingzhuang for so many years, this mentality is good." Do you really think that no one knows about all the things you do? If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do! ”
"Take the property of the palace to make usury, you don't want to be a businessman, it's really humiliating." Yan Huai didn't want to talk nonsense with Steward Zhang anymore, "Give thirty boards and send them to the government." ”
As soon as Yan Huai's voice fell, Steward Zhang stepped back, and the head of the village, who was standing behind him, took a step forward and protected him tightly behind him, and the tenants who were originally in the field also surrounded him violently and surrounded the pavilion.
Yan Huai's face remained unchanged, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger: "Not only the people who work in the Zhuangzi, but also the tenants in the village are all usurious thugs raised by you." ”
Steward Zhang smiled proudly: "This usury is inconsistent with the laws of the Great Apocalypse, and I put usury in the name of the palace, if I am sent to the yamen, the palace will not be able to get out of it, the prince can think clearly." ”
Luo Qing understood, it turned out that this was the reason why Steward Zhang had no fear, he was determined that in order to protect the reputation of the palace, they would not dare to send him to the yamen.
It's a good brain, but it doesn't have to be on the right path.
"It's despicable!"
"Despicable? Don't say the princess so badly, I'm just using local materials. ”
Steward Zhang bowed slightly, and was about to be escorted away, but Yanhuai didn't say a word, only smiled and looked at him, which inexplicably made him feel worried, and he stopped again.
"Lord, I know your methods, if something happens to me halfway, Yong'an Bo will immediately enter the palace and send these account books to the emperor's table, and the emperor will be happy to dispose of you."
Luo Qing sneered: "I thought you were strategizing and not afraid of anything." ”
Steward Zhang smiled: "Isn't this opponent too strong?" ”
"Opponents?" Yan Huai didn't even look at Steward Zhang, and lazily turned the teacup in his hand with one hand, "You are not worthy." ”
"But I won today." After that, Steward Zhang was escorted and left.
When the people were gone, Chang Geng stepped forward: "Lord Wang, my subordinates will go and solve the people." ”
Yan Huai nodded, and said casually: "Be clean, it's not easy to unearth bandits in this suburb of Beijing, and if you don't get it, it will make people panic, and people will disappear silently." ”
In a word, life and death are decided.
Luo Qing took a sip of tea and sighed lightly: "Brother, let's go back." ”
Yan Huai got up, stretched out his hand and pulled Luo Qing up, and when he was about to leave, he turned around and instructed Liuxi: "Give you a month, and clean up this Zhuangzi for this king." ”
Liuxi leaned over: "The slave knows, send off the prince and princess." ”
